The Exalted Warrior novel Chapter 1849

Austin thought that Fane was bragging, but he did not bother to deny the other party. Austin then continued, “Right, Brother Fane, you have more than a hundred thousand people with you, but they’re all from different clans and families, and the situation is similar to the Nine Armies back then—the Nine Armies came from different forces. Hmmm… I have a suggestion, but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate for me to propose it.”

“Is that so? Please go ahead, First Fortress Master!”

Fane bowed to Austin politely and said, “Since we have decided to stay, we’re all in the same boat moving forward, and don’t worry about our loyalty toward you. We’ll definitely not have second thoughts nor will we have plans against you!”

“That’s for sure! We’re in this together and we fight together! Our people will not have second thoughts or evil plans against you too! You have my word!”

Austin bobbed his head and then gave his idea, “Brother Fane, the idea is simple. You have many men of different clans and families, and the Nine Armies are the same too! Why…why don’t we build a clan together? We can all become one clan! What do you think?”

“Build a clan? Hmmm… It would be easier to manage and we can gather all the power and strength together then everyone won’t be suspicious nor jealous of one another. Right?”

Fane frowned; he immediately understood the underlying intention of this proposal.

Right now, Austin possessed the strongest and highest martial level, and although Fane had the numbers on his side, there were not many fighters with high martial levels. So, if both sides agreed to form a clan, Austin naturally wanted to be the clan master.

“Yes, they’re right! It’s indeed an excellent idea! But we had just experienced a tough battle, so it's better for us to rest and recover for the time being. And after some time had passed, we could then hold the election for master and vice-master of the clan, how about that?”

The First Elder—who was beside the First Fortress Master—stood up and spilled his opinion. He believed that if Austin became the master of the clan, the chances of him becoming the vice-master would be high.

Fane’s combat power was strong, but his martial level was not that high. Furthermore, only people at the eighth-grade and ninth-grade ultimate god level were eligible to be voters in the election.

“Hmmm… It’s possible to do that. But many of us here are injured and need time to recuperate. Let’s do it this way, we will elect the clan master and the vice-clan master after half a month, what do you think?”
