105: Human Guardian (400 yuan reward plus more)

The Beast-Ear Clan is a naturally occurring Subhuman Race.

The emergence of this race can be considered an embellishment to the concept of the Human Race.

Initially, there were only two concepts: Human Race and Beast Race, but with the appearance of some creative individuals, the Beast-Ear Clan also emerged.

As a result, the concept of the Beast-Ear Clan occupied a portion of both the Human Race and Beast Race concepts, combining to form a new race.

There are Beast-Ear Clans that lean towards the Human Race, and also Beast-Ear Clans that lean towards the Beast Race.

The garrison mission Lin Chen received was to go to a Beast-Ear Clan planet, help the pro-Human faction of the Beast-Ear Clan gain dominance over their group, and then garrison for six years to maintain political stability.

In a corner of the Federation's Eastern Frontier, Ur Star.

Lin Chen used a teleportation array for five days, then took a medium-sized warship and traveled through space for another four days, finally arriving at Ur Star.

The Lin Chen here is a Copy Body; his main body is hiding in the mirror space created by the Copy Body.

The situation on Ur Star only had rough intelligence.

Originally, Ur Star was just one of the planets under Human Race jurisdiction, where a group of Beast-Ear Clans of various species lived.

A few months ago, a Wolf-Beast Clan Demi-God Squad unexpectedly descended upon Ur Star through a spatial rift, and a rebellion ensued; a Beast-Ear Clan army advocating for a return to the Beast Race and resistance against the Human Race rose up, conquering cities and seizing territory everywhere.

The pro-Human faction of the Beast-Ear Clan was somewhat unable to resist, so they sought aid from the Human Race, and after some twists and turns, the aid mission became Lin Chen's garrison mission.

Lin Chen did not rush to descend upon Ur Star; instead, he concealed his warship and used the scanning equipment on board to collect information and intelligence about Ur Star, deciding how to act next based on the actual situation.

A personal version of a medium-sized warship has many functions; scanning a planet, collecting intelligence at the current time node, and performing intelligent analysis based on the intelligence are all completely feasible.

Half an hour later, the warship's AI projected the collected intelligence and various analyses in front of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen quickly scanned through them, understanding the current situation on Ur Star.

Ur Star, with a diameter of 50,000 kilometers, has only one continent occupying one-third of the planet's area, with other regions consisting of scattered islands and oceans.

Hundreds of billions of Beast-Ear Clans live there; their civilization level is not high, being in a feudal imperial era, with relatively low technological advancement and very primitive productivity relations.

The continent where the Beast-Ear Clan lives is called Ur Continent; an empire rules all Beast-Ear Clans, and the imperial family is the Tiger-Person Clan; currently, the empire's rule is somewhat precarious.

Because the Lion-Person Clan, Wolf-Person Clan, and other major clans have defected to the unexpectedly arrived Wolf-Beast Clan Demi-God Squad, in just over a month, they have already occupied half of the empire's territory.

If there is no external intervention, the downfall of the Tiger-Person Empire is a foregone conclusion.

The strongest individuals on the entire planet are only at the Demi-God level, and their numbers are not large, less than a hundred combined from both sides.

“This mission is somewhat too simple.”

Lin Chen thought it would be a difficult mission; after understanding the situation, he could only express, “Is that all?”

Parking the warship above Ur Star, Lin Chen brought his Three Souls Clone into Ur Star.

Lin Chen headed to the Tiger-Person Empire's imperial capital, Serkon, while the Three Souls Clone went to decapitate the members of the Wolf-Beast Clan Demi-God Squad and, incidentally, eliminate the high-ranking officials of the rebellious Beast-Ear Clan.

As long as all enemy Demi-God powerhouses and high-ranking officials are eliminated, this rebellion will naturally subside, especially since the previous emperor of the Tiger-Person Empire was not a tyrant but a benevolent ruler; thus, after physically eliminating the enemies, the Tiger-Person Emperor will naturally handle the rest.

Lin Chen clearly understood that the essence of a garrison mission was not merely to garrison; it was to handle the urgent local matters, after which all other time was at the discretion of the garrison commander, and no organization affiliated with the Federation would issue additional tasks to the garrison commander.

A six-year garrison period meant six years of free time.

During this period, the garrison commander, apart from the responsibility of garrisoning, had no other responsibilities to fulfill; he could cultivate peacefully, or invite a few good friends to explore, or, of course, just lie flat.

The Three Souls Clone acted very quickly; Lin Chen had just arrived at the Tiger-Person Emperor's study when the Wolf-Beast Clan's unexpectedly arrived Demi-God Squad, consisting of seven relatively mediocre Demi-God rank Beast Races, lost their lives without even seeing the Copy Bodys' faces.

As for the high-ranking officials of the rebellious Beast-Ear Clan, they were more scattered, and the Three Souls Clone would need a little time to deal with them, at most half an hour.

“Who!”

“The Human Race Garrison Envoy.”

Lin Chen removed his Spiritual Stealth; otherwise, the Tiger-Person Emperor, who was only at the early Demi-God stage, would absolutely not have been able to detect his presence.

This Tiger-Person Emperor was very burly, with a pair of white tiger ears covered by his crown; if one didn't examine closely, he looked no different from a Human Race member.

The higher the strength of a Beast-Ear Clan member, the fewer Beast Race characteristics they possess; for example, this Demi-God rank Tiger-Person Emperor only had a pair of ears to prove his racial identity.

The lower the strength of a Beast-Ear Clan member, the more Beast Race characteristics they possess; the most primitive Beast-Ear Clan, in ancient terms, were Furies, bipedal furry Beast Races.

Lin Chen announced his identity, and the Tiger-Person Emperor Walker immediately bowed respectfully, not daring to overstep in any way.

The Beast-Ear Clan was too weak; they had no gods of their own and depended on the Human Race and Beast Race for survival.

The Beast-Ear Clans under Human Race rule were relatively peaceful; as long as they submitted sufficient standard resources annually, the Human Race would not interfere much and would even provide protection.

The Beast-Ear Clans under Beast Race rule were basically slaves, usually used as cannon fodder, and often used as tools for sexual gratification.

As for why the Lion-Person Clan and Wolf-Person Clan here were willing to defect to the Beast Race, it was, of course, because their originating Beast Race was powerful; even if they were cannon fodder, they were of the supervisory type, and their clansmen took pride in giving birth to pure Beast Race offspring.

Sacrificing a portion of their clansmen could exchange for more benefits for the ruling class; the ruling classes of the already low-civilization Lion-Person Clan and Wolf-Person Clan were naturally willing, and the lower classes had no right to decide.

The Tiger-Person Clan imperial family here, however, had undergone shallow assimilation by the Human Race and took pride in becoming Human Race members, so they did not possess the bestial nature originating from the Beast Race that ordinary Beast-Ear Clans had.

“Esteemed Envoy, you must be tired from your journey; why don't you rest first, and we can discuss the rebel army tomorrow.”

Walker's posture was very low; even though he was burning with anxiety, he dared not ask Lin Chen to deal with the problem now; instead, he had to serve Lin Chen well, not daring to offend Lin Chen in any way.

He deeply knew that fighting the Beast Race would merely lead to enslavement; if their Tiger-Person Clan surrendered, they would not be completely ruined, but offending the Human Race would genuinely lead to their extinction.

For the Tiger-Person Clan, those ears that could not devolve were their greatest difference from the Human Race, a chasm between them and the Human Race orthodoxy.

Lin Chen waved his hand and said.

“There's no need to rest; I just came to inform you that the rebel army's high-ranking officials and the Beast Race squad behind them have already been eliminated by me. Just organize your army to quell the rebellion and govern the Beast-Ear Clan well.”

“Thank you, Esteemed Envoy, for saving the Tiger-Person Empire.”

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he turned and left, no longer responding to the kneeling Walker; in his perception, Walker knelt for five or six minutes, and only after confirming Lin Chen's departure did he cautiously stand up.

Upon standing, Walker's first action was not to organize an army to quell the rebellion, but to find someone to carve a statue of Lin Chen, preparing to enshrine Lin Chen's statue and worship it day and night.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen was somewhat dumbfounded.

As a Federation citizen, he felt a bit uncomfortable with this scene, mainly because it was too awkward, and the key was that the emperor genuinely wanted to enshrine him, to worship him as an ancestor.

The other party's actions were somewhat opportunistic, using every action to try and curry favor with Lin Chen, to cling to Lin Chen's leg, and gain Lin Chen's protection.

This was the helplessness of a subordinate minor race, and also the survival wisdom of a subordinate minor race.

After the Three Souls Clone dealt with the rebel high command, they returned to the warship in space; Lin Chen, after leaving the Tiger-Person Empire's imperial capital, also did not linger on Ur Star and returned directly to the warship.

On the first day of arriving at the garrison area, the six-year garrison mission was already completed, and Lin Chen felt a bit unaccustomed for a moment.

For the next six years, apart from the task of cultivation, there were no other tasks, and he felt a bit lost about what to do.

“What do we do next?”

Facing the Copy Body's persistent questioning, Lin Chen pondered for a moment and came up with a good idea.

“Since the Beast Race Demi-God Squad unexpectedly arrived at Ur Star through a spatial rift, we can also enter a Beast Race planet unexpectedly through a spatial rift.”

“We're going to stir up trouble! We're saved!”

The Three Souls Clone expressed strong support; they had been deeply immersed in the ocean of knowledge for over a year and had entered a state of deep aversion to studying; they wanted to go out and have fun.

The Copy Body naturally supported causing trouble.

Compared to staying by the main body's side for cultivation and study, going out to seek death and have fun was more popular with the Clones; even Lin Chen's main body was somewhat tired of it, as the Three Souls Clone were essentially him, and he could perceive all their actions.

“Then let's go stir up trouble; I'll find a place to hide myself.”

“Yay!”

“Long live troublemaking!”
