Chapter 246 Offering Loyalty
Chapter 246 Offering Loyalty
'Ah, shit…'
'If all those boars attack me, then I'm as good as dead…'
He thought that the boars were about to attack him, however, in reality, something else was in their minds.
After turning towards Shin, all of them bowed. Yes, they assumed the same position as earlier when Shin was suing the Aura Domain, except this time, they were doing it with their own will.
It took just an instant to break the trust and establish a new trust. Yes, they knew how strong Shin was, at least, they realized it after seeing him fend off Avan's attack.
With this, they were sure that he would definitely be able to protect them. Moreover, even with all those power, he wasn't arrogant – some even thought this.
They decided to leave Avan's side and join Shin out of the blue.
'Huh?'
'What are they doing…?', Shin was confused after seeing them pinning themselves against the ground.
The same reaction was given by the shadow wolves who emerged back from the shadows. Even Blanca and Avan were surprised by what was happening.
All the remaining, about 200 boars, were literally showing the signs of their loyalty towards Shin.
*Ding*
[ 213 boars have decided to serve you ]
[ Would you accept them? ]
[ Yes/No ]
The system asked. When it displayed the notification, Shin was absolutely confused. That was because, how could someone just randomly leave their own tribe and join a stranger's clan or something similar?
'Hey, do you really think that all of them are loyal?'
'What if they betray me later?', Shin asked the system.
*Ding*
[ Loyalty cannot be measured ]
[ Chances of betrayal will be 0% after the host has accepted their wish of serving you ]
"…"
For a moment, it felt as if Shin didn't have any choice. But then again, he was indeed given a choice to reject.
*Ding*
[ You have used the skill Telepathy ]
With the help of telepathy, he started conversing with all the 213 Boars who were ready to offer their loyalty to Shin.
There were around 50 more boars there who were against the idea of joining Shin. They were rather thinking about being with Avan since they trusted their own kin more than others.
They immediately rushed towards Avan as if they wanted to report the betrayal of the boars, however, Avan could clearly tell even without them telling anything.
He was frustrated and started shouting.
"How dare you insects even think about joining that bastard?"
"Did you forget all the times I have protected you?"
"You filthy betrayers!"
"You backstabbers!", Avan was using interesting words as he was angry.
They were definitely something that a normal beast would never use. Then again, he was a highly evolved beast so it was possible for it to use such words if he had come by any.
However, the boars didn't reply. They were busy conversing with Shin and the moment they felt that Shin used mass telepathy, they realized that they were in front of a beast whose power was on the same level as the Mountain God or higher than him!
After talking with the boars, Shin realized why they were so eager to offer their loyalty to him.
Actually, the Boar King Avan was a ruthless king. Just like earlier, he would always consider his men as pawns. The ones whom he would praise would be the pawns that were either useful to him or would give him profit always.
As for others, he would force them to go and hunt large beasts or set up traps and do other things.
Also, the Boar King was a ruthless carnivore. It would even eat its own kin and would term it as punishment or some other useless reason. Seeing this, many were terrified and never rejected what he did.
Like any other strong and intelligent beast, it too wanted to set up a kingdom of its own. But foolishly enough, it went ahead and tried to attack a human kingdom – of course, he failed miserably.
However, after hearing the fact that Shin was able to destroy one of the wealthiest human kingdoms, his anger peaked.
Due to that, after realizing that Shin was his foe and that too a strong one, it didn't hesitate to attack, despite putting his own men in danger.
'System, is there any benefits in accepting them and making them a part of my clan?', Shin asked.
*Ding*
[ The advantages exceed the disadvantages ]
[ Hence, it is beneficial ]
[ Here are the following benefits: ]
-> You will have more followers and subordinates resulting in many more skill choosing options.
-> The rank of your Clan will increase
-> Since the boars are power-type beasts, destroying rocks, trees, boulders, etc would be an easy task for them.
These three main benefits were given and after seeing them, Shin didn't hesitate to accept them as his followers.
'Then, yes. I accept.'
*Ding*
[ You have accepted 213 Boars as your subordinates ]
[ They have officially joined the Clan Lou Shin ]
*Ding*
[ Clan name: Lou Shin ]
[ Clan Leader: Shin ]
[ Clan Vice-Leader: <not appointed> ]
[ Clan Ranking: 795 ]
[ Clan Power: 9 ]
[ Clan Members: 5747 ]
The clan power increased by 2. Shin was surprised after seeing that. This was because, there were no new beasts that he had named. But oh well, he soon realized that there were two boars with names that joined.
Obviously, it was natural for the power to increase.
However, when Shin looked at the familia power, it remained at 7. He now realized the difference.
Basically, if he were to name some beast in his clan, then both, the clan power and familia power will increase as the beast would end up becoming a part of his familia as well. But, if he were to just add a beast with a name to his clan, then only the clan power will change with no effects displayed in the familia power or rankings.
He understood this after a bit of speculation.
Regardless, now, the crests appeared in various places on the bodies of the Boars.
