The Level 3 Lord’s Hall looked like a small castle.
The interior was even more impressive.
Su Ye sat on the throne at the head of the hall, then took out a piece of paper and a pen to draft the contract.
The contract between the main territory and the subordinate territory was a one-sided contract.
A one-sided contract meant that all the terms of the contract were to be stipulated by Su Ye.
Volkan had no opportunity to participate.
Of course, if he was dissatisfied with any of the terms of the contract, he could bring it up.
However, whether or not Su Ye would modify it because of his dissatisfaction was another matter.
After all, the main territory held all the initiative. East or West, chicken or dog, it was all up to the main territory.
In his previous life, Su Ye had the good fortune to own a goblin subordinate territory.
So he was quite familiar with drafting the terms.
He picked up the pen and wrote quickly, "swish swish swish".
Volkan stood in the open space in front of him, occasionally tiptoeing to look at the paper in Su Ye’s hand.
He was full of anxiety, afraid that Su Ye would impose some coercive and tyrannical clauses on him.
He spent two minutes in excruciating torment.
Finally, Su Ye put down the pen in his hand, picked up the paper, and handed it to Volkan.
“Take a look, then sign it. The contract will take effect immediately.”
Volkan swallowed his saliva, took the contract in front of him, and glanced at it.
There were not many clauses, only four, which made Volkan feel relieved.
Four clauses was fine. It seemed that Su Ye was not as tyrannical as he imagined!
But the next moment, when he saw the content of the clauses, Volkan was dumbfounded.
“I disagree! Your terms are too tyrannical!” Volkan shouted.
Su Ye sat on his chair, with a nonchalant attitude.
“You have no right to disagree.”
Volkan gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing.
After all, his people were still being held captive by Su Ye!
Looking at the contract in front of him, Volkan’s face turned black.
He had the urge to strangle Su Ye to death immediately.
Before, Volkan thought that Su Ye’s clauses would only have four, and they wouldn’t be too troublesome. Now it seemed that he was too naive.
This young man, who looked no more than twenty years old, was extremely thoughtful.
He had considered almost every angle.
Su Ye’s drafted contract was as follows.
【Subordinate Territory Contract】
Main Territory: Star Territory
Lord: Su Ye
Subordinate Territory: War Hammer
Lord: Volkan
①: From the date of signing the contract, the War Hammer tribe’s inventory of resources, the resources they occupied in the Secret Realm, and all resources harvested from the date of signing, must be paid to the Star Territory as tribute, 50% of the total.
②: From the date of signing the contract, all members of the War Hammer tribe will be unconditionally requisitioned by the Star Territory and will obey all orders from the Star Territory.
③: From the date of signing the contract, if the Star Territory has war requirements, the subordinate territory must support it 100% and assist with all their strength.
④: From the date of signing the contract, the subordinate territory shall not have any ill intentions towards the Star Territory. If this is found to be the case, the Star Territory will tear up the treaty and destroy the subordinate territory.
After the contract is signed, the clauses will take effect immediately.
Conditions of termination: The main territory takes the initiative to terminate, or the main territory is destroyed, and the contract will automatically be destroyed.
There were only four clauses, but each one was tricky.
They covered four aspects: resource collection, population requisition, war, and betrayal.
It was no exaggeration to say that as long as Volkan signed this contract, his War Hammer tribe would be completely controlled by Su Ye.
Estimating that Volkan had probably finished reading, Su Ye tapped his fingers on the table: “Sign it. As long as you are obedient, you will definitely get a lot of benefits.”
Volkan gritted his teeth and picked up the pen to write his name.
But then he suddenly thought of something. He looked up at Su Ye: “After signing the contract, if a powerful enemy invades my territory, will you help me?”
Su Ye gave Volkan a firm look: “Of course. After signing the contract, you are my little brother. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell your big brother. I’ll stand up for you.”
As soon as these words came out, Volkan’s eyes twitched. He was already sixty years old, but Su Ye called him “little brother”. It was a disgrace!
But Volkan did not refuse to sign his name. After thinking for a moment, he made a decision. He nodded forcefully: “Fine, I’ll sign.”
With that, he picked up the pen and wrote his name on the contract with a “swish, swish”.
As soon as he put down the pen, the contract split into two copies, falling into the hands of Su Ye and Volkan.
The contract officially came into effect.
“Now, take me to your territory!” Su Ye said.
He was quite curious about what this War Hammer tribe was like.
Volkan did not refuse Su Ye’s request.
He had completely submitted to Su Ye.
This guy was young, could summon dragons, and had a very strong sense of the bigger picture. Given enough time, he would definitely become a powerful overlord.
In that case, he would just have to assist him well!
In these troubled times, being able to cling to such a thick leg was a good decision, wasn’t it?
Leaving the Lord’s Hall, the two returned to the battlefield.
Seeing Su Ye and Volkan come back, the dwarves and Eve, Su Qian’er, and Lin Yan Xi all breathed a sigh of relief and felt reassured.
Then, led by the dwarves, Su Ye and the others headed towards the War Hammer tribe.
Eve, Su Qian’er, and Lin Yan Xi sat with Su Ye.
“Big brother, did those dwarves really submit to us?” Su Qian’er pointed at the dwarves leading the way and asked.
The setting of the Lord’s Era made her feel unbelievable.
Su Ye nodded: “Of course. Volkan has already signed a contract with me, and it’s a subordinate territory contract. If they violate the contract, we can punish them at any time.”
Su Qian’er was a little stunned.
Lin Yan Xi was even more so. Her gaze towards Su Ye was different.
Eve sighed softly and looked at Su Ye: “Tell me, did you plan all this out long ago?”
Su Ye did not answer this question. He just gave Eve a meaningful smile.
