Chapter 121: Complete Submission
The twenty elders of the Hangzhou Court sat at the same table, looking gloomy. Lin Yi said that he would capture forty-nine cities in the area with his army of five hundred. And I did it without her.
When news came of how he was defeating the strongest experts in the region one after another, they became increasingly gloomy. Now they didn't even want to move. They just sat there, silent, and looked at the floor..
Finally one of them could not stand it and said:
“I didn't expect him to be able to. Forty-nine cities now belong to the Hangzhou Court. So what should we do? Should we continue to fight against Mr. Lin? Or protect him? I don't understand.”
“In my opinion, there is no point in fighting against him. He single-handedly defeated forty-nine of the strongest experts, many of whom were stronger than us. And all our people are also on his side. If this continues, Hangzhou Courtyard will become a great place. We had so many useless people that we couldn't employ anywhere, and now we're facing a staff shortage..”
“That's right. It seems that Heavenly Sword is not as stupid as we thought. On the contrary, he is a worthy young man with a great spirit. Forty-nine cities now belong to him, how can we argue with this? And what's the point? If we give up, who knows, maybe he will give us higher sword techniques. Or even the Golden Sutra. Don't you want this? I want. Therefore I will obey him.”
“Yes, I want it too!”
“And accept me!”
“And me!”
