Nathan Yates landed, conferred briefly with his vice-commanders, then dropped to one knee in mid-air toward Evan Chu.
"I, Nathan Yates! From this moment forth, together with 73,454 brothers under my command, swear allegiance to Evan Chu. We will follow you through boiling cauldrons and ten thousand deaths without regret!"
"Excellent! With this battle, you have performed great deeds. I am most pleased—rewards for all!"
Evan Chu laughed heartily.
The rewards from this battle were already beyond measure. Not to mention all the stars and Starstones looted from the Flowing-Light Legion and Lanford Legion after their destruction—even their storage rings and Space Domains were packed with treasures.
Evan Chu didn't keep any of these for himself—all were given out as rewards!
But beyond all that, the greatest treasure was still the Pearl-Mountain Star-Region itself. The richness of its star-mines ranked among the top three within the Rivengrace Dynasty!
Mining the Starstones here would depend on Nathan Yates' soldiers in the future, so Evan Chu wasn't stingy either—every soldier who fought in this battle received five thousand low-grade Starstones!
Besides, Evan Chu's original plan for taking this star-region wasn't for himself. His true goal was to forge an invincible legion that could help him conquer the Star-River Dominion—and this was only the beginning.
Only by being generous with resources, keeping everyone at their peak and constantly growing stronger through cultivation, could Evan Chu truly be helped.
