Evan Chu finally smiled happily, then walked up to Lydia Hong and said meaningfully, "Sometimes, a random thought can decide victory or defeat, honor or disgrace. I don’t care what you’re thinking now, and I can’t tell you everything."
But I can promise you one thing: if you follow me, Evan Chu, you won’t regret it. At the very least, it’s better than staying with the Duskmire Legion!
The Duskmire Legion may have trained you, but you’ve contributed enough. It’s time to plan for your own future—with your strength, there’s a much wider world out there for you, isn’t there?
Evan Chu’s meaning was already clear, and Lydia Hong could only feel grateful in her heart.
She was grateful to still have a choice, grateful that her soldiers would have a place to belong, and grateful that the elderly, women, and children under her care would have stronger protection in the future.
Of course, Lydia Hong also knew that Nathan Yates was a man worth entrusting her life to—he wouldn’t let her down. Just as Evan Chu said, sometimes a sudden decision can change one’s destiny.
Lydia Hong understood. "Thank you, Throne Chu!"
He chuckled, "We’re all family now—no need to be so formal. Since you have no objections, arrange the staff quickly. I’ll hold a grand wedding for my vice Throne on the outskirts of the Flowing-Light Dynasty’s star-region!"
Spread the news far and wide, send out invitations everywhere! Anyone who dares disrespect Evan Chu will have to think twice about the weight of the Dragon-Chen Legion!
Then Evan Chu waved his hand, and a blazing star appeared in front of Nathan Yates.
Nathan is getting married—how can I, as your boss, not show something special? Let me give you double joy! Nathan Yates, listen up!
At your command!
I order you—within ten days, before the wedding ceremony, you must break through to the Holy Emperor Realm! I want the experts of the Four-Directions Dynasty to witness the power of my Dragon-Chen Legion, and I want all my soldiers to understand that following Evan Chu only leads to greater strength—never regret!
Yes, Throne Chu!
Looking at the blazing lava star, Nathan Yates was deeply moved—this truly was double joy for him.
Of course, Evan Chu wouldn’t play favorites—he selected another powerful star and handed it to Lydia Hong.
Consider this a welcome gift. You’ve just merged into the Dragon-Chen Legion, and haven’t had a chance to show your worth yet, so I can’t give you too much. But I promise: if I get to eat meat, my subordinates won’t just get soup! As long as you prove yourself, you and your soldiers will be treated the same as everyone else.
Of course, now that you’re getting married, I can’t let your soldiers feel neglected. First Commander Lance Li, where are you?
Evan Chu called out, and Lance Li hurried over.
At your command!
Spread the word—members of the former Red Lark Legion, select the best talents and form a new legion structure. Each receives three thousand low-grade Starstones; commanders and deputy commanders get five thousand! As for the families of the elderly, women, and children, arrange them quickly in the Pearl-Mountain Star-Region. You know what to do, right?
Rest assured, Throne Chu—I’ll handle everything properly!
Lance Li didn’t know what Evan Chu, Nathan Yates, and Lydia Hong had discussed, but judging by the results, everyone seemed very pleased.
The news of Vice Throne Nathan Yates and Red Lark Throne Lydia Hong’s upcoming wedding quickly spread throughout the legion. The soldiers, especially Nathan’s former Duskmire Legion comrades, cheered loudly—it was truly a celebration for all.
At the same time, invitations were sent out. The Dragon-Chen Legion used its fastest starships to notify all allied legions and dynastic powers.
Though it was Nathan Yates’ wedding, no one dared to disrespect Evan Chu. No matter how noble your status or powerful your cultivation, if you received a Dragon-Chen Legion invitation, you had to attend!
Of course, the invitations went out to all the Heavenwing, Lanling, and other legions allied with the Frostbane Dynasty. Representatives from the Wanqi Family, Star-Treasure Pavilion branch, and even Lin Yuefei from the Savage Brotherhood were invited.
Powerhouses from all sides gathered, nearly half of the major figures in the southeastern Starry-Sky Sacred Domain assembled.
Among the guests, most were Holy Emperor-level experts; Saint Venerables were rare, and there were no Saint Lords at all. Those present were either beneficiaries of the Dragon-Chen Legion or closely tied to the Frostbane Dynasty.
The Frostbane Dynasty also sent a powerful representative—Lord Jun Yang himself attended, showing just how highly the dynasty’s leadership valued Evan Chu.
Of course, some rejoiced while others worried. Evan Chu’s enemies, including the Duskmire Dynasty, had no choice but to swallow their resentment, while the Flowing-Light Dynasty felt utterly miserable—even wishing for death.
What’s the meaning of this? Fine, get married if you want—but why hold such a lavish banquet on the outskirts of our Flowing-Light Dynasty’s star-region? And even so, Flowing-Light Dynasty didn’t dare protest. In fact, their patrol legions had to pull back.
It’s no joke—Evan Chu’s invitations brought together so many big shots that if Flowing-Light Dynasty refused to show respect now, they might become the first dynasty in history to be wiped out—and in the most humiliating way.
