Chapter 1082

She grew up in a barbaric tribe, but when she fell gravely ill and was near death, and her tribe faced relocation, her mother abandoned her directly.

Then, as a child of a few years old, she was adopted by a she-wolf.

However, this she-wolf possessed considerable intelligence—it was a ninth-rank legendary beast.

This she-wolf raised her, taught her beast tongue, and imparted vast human knowledge; otherwise, she might not even know how to speak now.

The flesh of beasts holds many benefits for humans, enabling some warriors to grow stronger rapidly.

Of course, even without beasts, one can still achieve rapid strength growth through diligent effort.

The Flame Empire has very few beasts, yet it has still produced a large number of powerful warriors.

The Eternal Night Empire is the same.

But humans always prefer shortcuts, and the hides, organs, and other parts of beasts hold considerable value and fetch good prices—this is why southern nations hunt beasts.

Yet Mengying saw another value.

That was: forming an army of beasts.

But beasts are hard to control; even if you control the leader of a clan, there are many beast clans.

Moreover, communicating with beasts is difficult—though sixth-rank and above beasts possess considerable intelligence, the number capable of speech remains relatively small.

They understand, but they may not necessarily speak.

Now, on this girl, Mengying saw possibility.

This is why Mengying did not act.

When Mengying now considers matters, she thinks more from the perspective of the Flame Empire and her deity—anything that can strengthen the Flame Empire, she is willing to do.

Of course, she has her own pride and style of action, and will not resort to any means.

Nor is it necessary to resort to any means.

The underlying reason for resorting to any means is often insufficient ability!

Hearing Jian's words, Mengying said: "I can guarantee that no one in our nation will hunt beasts; you may bring beasts to join us, and we will provide dedicated areas for beasts to live, along with sufficient food and meat."

Hearing Mengying's words, the girl's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Mengying nodded and said: "True, but on the condition that we need some powerful beasts to fight for us; of course, we will provide them with armor and will not recklessly send them to die, and they may also receive the protection of my deity, the Lord of Flame!"

"What kind of deity is the Lord of Flame?"

Girl Jian asked.

Mengying pointed to the sky, where above the sun, a thick white cloud floated.

Girl Jian followed her gaze and saw Mengying's hands part—the white cloud split apart, revealing within it a star emitting faint starlight!

It adorned the blue sky with even greater brilliance!

Though the star's light was faint!

But do not forget—it was daytime, and precisely noon!

"Look, that is my deity's realm!"

Mengying said.

"A star appearing in daylight."

Girl Jian was instantly captivated by that star.

At that moment, the she-wolf she rode let out a low growl.

"Oh, I understand!"

Girl Jian replied, then looked at Mengying:

"Alright, I join you, Mengying-jie!"
