Forging The Path To Godliness

Ye Feng originally thought that he would have some peace and quiet after this battle ended, but only a day after this, a matter came to him again.

But thankfully, it was not a huge matter.

“Teacher, we’ll need your help to subdue the Iron Hammer tribe.”

Right when Ye Feng was humming a song while forging, Claude came to find him.

“Didn’t you already decide on what to do, why do you need my help?”

Ye Feng was speechless and confused: “With the dwarf tribes’ remaining strength, they should not be able to stop you.”

“Indeed, but that is too much work.” Claude said in an embarrassed tone, he was a little ashamed.

“If we bring people over, it may lead to a fight, they will not be willing to submit either.”

“That’s true…” Ye Feng first nodded before saying: “But there is another problem, they should hate me quite deeply, after seeing me, they may retaliate even more fiercely.”

“That is true, but for dwarves, forging is the most important thing, while your skills are great enough to conquer them. I believe that they understand who was the one who caused this battle as well.” Claude smiled and said in a confident tone: “Of course, there will be some stubborn ones, but we can get rid of them.”

Claude had grown a lot since then, he was not going to let enemies off just because of kindness.

Right now, he was the leader of the Divine Forging tribe, even though he was not too controlling, he had already gained his own prestige.

Soon, he would become the leader of the entire dwarf race.

“Alright, then we’ll go.” Ye Feng said in a low tone, his emotions could not be detected from his voice: “This is not too troublesome anyway, yeah, wait a while for me.”

Claude knew that Ye Feng was going to complete his forging session, he nodded and left the room.

“I am leading a laborious life, but this is quite beneficial to me. He is my disciple, this trouble is nothing.” Ye Feng continued to work as he sighed helplessly.

…

“Only the few of us?” Ye Feng was slightly stunned as he looked at the group.

Ye Feng, his two disciples, as well as a few dwarves from the Divine Forging tribe and Yoruk tribe, that was it.

“Are you sure we won’t get surrounded and attacked?”

Even if they were not afraid of the greatly weakened Iron Hammer tribe, with so few people in their group, it was possible that the Iron Hammer tribe would get tempted.

Because they had just lost a battle, be it the beastmen or the dwarf tribes, they had likely left the Iron Hammer tribe already. There was no reason to gather now, thus, the remaining combat strength was not threatening.

The Yoruk tribe and Divine Forging tribe were sending elders, they were not weak.

The weakest person was likely Claude, but he could not be absent in this, he was the person in charge of the negotiation later after all.

“That’s why you’re coming with us, teacher.” Blake smiled and said without any worry: “We are sufficient to deal with them, it can’t be that all of them are resisting us, we just need to get rid of the stubborn ones.”

After some discussion, they decided not to bring the people of the City of Chaos, they would subdue the dwarf tribe alone. On one hand, this was the request of the two tribes’ elders, on the other hand, this could maximize their benefits.

The potential losses would also be smaller, if they brought the people of the City of Chaos, when they fight, because of weaker combat strength, some of these people would die. But because the current group had strong individuals, the number of deaths would be minimized.

“Alright, alright, you guys can decide.” Ye Feng waved his hand and relented: “Since we’ve decided, let’s hurry up and go, we’ll settle this quickly.”

It was just one Iron Hammer tribe. After thinking about it, Ye Feng decided that this trip was not a big deal, since it could be settled quickly, this slight exertion was fine.

“Alright!”

Claude nodded and looked at Blake, the two of them revealed a mysterious smile.

Ye Feng walked in front of everyone, he suddenly felt a chill and sneezed.

It was strange, with his body, he should be immune to the cold.

Ye Feng frowned but did not think much of it.

Because none of them were weak, they quickly arrived at the Iron Hammer tribe.

Because they had the absolute advantage, they did not fight from the start, instead, the group openly entered the Iron Hammer tribe which was slightly chaotic.

“Ye Feng and Claude are here!”

In the eyes of the other tribes, Claude’s reputation was not any lower than Ye Feng, after all, he was the reason this entire conflict even started.

As the leader of the Divine Forging tribe, Claude received a lot of attention.

“Cough, what do you guys want?” An elderly dwarf came over on crutches and looked at Ye Feng’s group, asking.

Because he was too old, his strength had fallen greatly. But currently, he had a rather high status in the Iron Hammer tribe.

After all, he had seniority compared to the others.

“You should understand why.” Claude shook his head and said seriously: “I’ll not beat around the bush, I hope your Iron Hammer tribe can submit to us.”

No matter what, this was an old man, Claude spoke politely to him, this could affect the Iron Hammer tribe’s decision after all.

“How can that be?!” A young dwarf stood up and shouted angrily: “You killed so many of our members, you want us to let that go? You want us to submit to you?”

“I’m telling you, dream on!”

He did not have low status in the Iron Hammer tribe, he did not want to submit to Claude and become his subordinate.

Claude did not get angry, he only said plainly: “You know who started this battle, we were only defending ourselves, as the loser, you need to pay the price.”

“If you do not submit, you will be exterminated.”

“Even if you are not afraid of death, think of your family, do you want to implicate them and cause them to die as well?”

Once he said this, many of the dwarves seemed moved as they started to discuss among themselves.

Claude was speaking the truth, most of the dwarves knew the reason for this battle and they were moved by his proposal.

“Don’t listen to his lies!” The young dwarf became quite nervous: “As long as we resist him together, they cannot do anything to us!”

“That’s right, we do not fear them!”

“There are only around ten or so of them, if we kill them all, we can escape afterwards!”

“Even if we have to leave, we will not submit to anyone!”

A number of dwarves shouted in agreement, but most of them were rather young.
