468 Commanding Rights (1/2)

Lin Yun was busy thinking how to deal with the Thawing Fire Tribe, he naturally didn't have time to care about Thorne Merlin. In fact, after coming out of the meeting room, he had someone call for Yuri and Ida.

After all, he didn't have much control over the Merlin Family's Planar Legion. He had to take out enough power for the collaboration with the Black Tower to deal with the Thawing Fire Tribe, or he wouldn't be able to explain to the Black Tower and they might believe that he was insincere.

This gave him a headache.

Although he was appointed as Commander by the Ancestral Land, this Planar Legion stationed in the Raging Flame Plane had previously been led by Thorne. In the past few years, Thorne conducted battle after battle, willing to risk everything alongside those people, establishing an unshakable reputation as a Planar Commander.

Lin Yun had just arrived to the Raging Flame Plane with the status of Planar Commander, and being an outsider didn't help. Although he was sharing Thorne's authority in name, in reality, Thorne's power hadn't decreased at all. Most of the members of the Planar Legion were listening to Thorne's assignment.

Lin Yun had to find a way. A few months later, they would be officially cooperating with the Black Tower to attack the Thawing Fire Tribe, it would be hard to avoid an issue if he couldn't get a decent military by then.

With his understanding of the Black Tower, he naturally knew why they straightforwardly accepted. It was mostly because Harren wanted to reduce the risks of losses while maximizing his profits, cooperating with the Merlin Family would make both sides jointly assume the risks.

Moreover, he had been very brazen earlier this morning and directly seized 70% of the quota for the Ghost Valley. It would truly be embarrassing if he couldn't get a sufficient force.

After all, both sides had to make some efforts for the collaboration.

”Sirs, this Planar Legion defending the Flame Demon Fort, how many people would I be able to mobilize from it?”

Ida and Yuri barely entered his living quarters when Lin Yun already got to the point.

”What…”

The two froze. They didn't expect the young mage to suddenly ask this question, but they then recalled the situation within the meeting room and their expressions suddenly changed, 'Could it be that he wants to shed all pretense with Thorne?' Thinking that this might be the case, Ida and Yuri's expression suddenly turned unsightly.

They came from the Ancestral Land after all, and although they had a good opinion of the young mage while their opinion of Thorne worsened, they had to consider this from the point of view of the Merlin Family.

What good could come out of the young mage breaking off relations with Thorne, this internal struggle would harm the interest of the Merlin Family.

They had to prevent this, if they couldn't... They truly didn't want such a matter to happen.

”Don't worry, I don't want to bother with Thorne for the time being…” Seeing Ida and Yuri's expressions, Lin Yun knew that they misunderstood, thus he scratched his cheek and continued, ”I want to take control over the Ghost Valley, so I need some force. Of course, I'll explain some things to you in the future.”

”What? Take control over the Ghost Valley…?”

When they heard Lin Yun's first sentence, Ida and Yuri both relaxed. But they felt weird after hearing the rest, 'He said he wanted to take control of the Ghost Valley?'

'How could this be…'

The two had participated in several battles in the Raging Flame Plane and naturally understood that the Thawing Fire Tribe had always been eyeing the Ghost Valley. Even if they smoothly took over the Ghost Valley, the Merlin Family would need a force guarding it all year round, remaining stuck there.

The young mage's plan to take over the Ghost Valley was a bit unrealistic.

The Merlin Family spent so much effort for so many years towards the Ghost Valley without making much progress. They didn't believe that the young mage could manage to do it.

Although they had seen the power of the young mage, this involved the fight over the Ghost Valley, it wasn't something one or two people could settle, it needed a huge force. Not to mention, the young mage didn't have much Planar War experience.

”This Planar Legion followed Thorne Merlin for many years, transferring them right under Thorne's nose is nearly impossible. But before leaving for the Raging Flame Plane, the Ancestral Land transferred some people, roughly 400 to 500 people…”

Ida and Yuri looked at each other, bitterly smiling inwardly, they truly didn't want to dampen the young mage's enthusiasm, ”We are actually capable of mobilizing this group from the Ancestral Land and make them listen to your command, but, High Mage Mafa, it might be a bit troublesome to take over the Ghost Valley with just these people…”

They originally wanted to say that by relying on four to five hundred people, it would be impossible to take over the Ghost Valley, but after thinking about it, they remained tactful.
