Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1337

Darren and Gatlin walked out of the secret room together.

Thick clouds hung in the sky, casting a shadow over the earth.

"What's going on?"

Darren felt something was amiss, but it was not the pressure from a chief god.

Gatlin gazed up at the dark sky. He did not speak, and he seemed indifferent.

Crack!

Thunder rumbled in the sky and cut through the clouds.

In the gap, large, golden words appeared.

"Territory Enfeoffing Emperor."

Darren's heart skipped a beat when he saw those words.

It was as if they kept getting larger and larger, threatening to engulf him with their magnitude.

"Are the words flying towards me?"

Darren panicked. He tried to escape but found that he could not move at all.

Swish!

He was drowned in the golden light.

"Huh?"

After a while, the light began to dim and disperse. Darren was shaking all over, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"This... What the hell is going on?" Darren looked at Gatlin, his eyes wide.

"Congratulations, my patriarch! You have inherited the Chu Clan's homeland. You are now the real patriarch of the Chu Clan," Gatlin said, his tone calm and even.

"Inherit...the homeland? What do you mean by saying I've inherited the homeland?" Darren asked, confused.

"Well, to some extent, you have now become the master of the Chaotic Region."

"What do you mean? Does that mean that I have full control over the Chaotic Region?" Darren asked.

"No. It means that from now on, you will fight for the Chu Clan and attempt to win back our territory. Only after you ascend to the throne of the Chaotic Region can you be relieved of your official duties," Gatlin said.

"My official duties? Please stop speaking in riddles! I need you to clear things up!" Darren's face darkened. He felt like he had been fooled by Gatlin.

"Patriarch Darren, please don't get angry. Let me explain. The leader of every region should first inherit the throne of the region before they become its ruler and controller. What you have just inherited is the former throne of the Chu Clan.

Once you are enfeoffed, you will become the nominal leader of the Chaotic Region. You will have to continuously expand your territory to ensure that you will keep the throne," Gatlin explained.

"Humph! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have absolutely no interest in the enfeoffment at all. I do not want to expand territory at all, either! I'm leaving!" Darren was irritated. Obviously, Gatlin had known about this for a long time. The fact that he hid it from Darren disgusted Darren. He did not appreciate people tricking him.

"Patriarch Darren, please give this some thought. Once a Territory Enfeoffing Emperor loses the throne, he will be killed by laws!" Gatlin hurriedly stopped Darren.

Darren frowned.

"You!" Darren glared at Gatlin. He began to think that he did not have a choice in this matter. Did he really have to expand the territory?

"Patriarch Darren, please don't be angry. I did everything for the sake of the Chu Clan," Gatlin said, lowering his head.

"Oh, don't give me that. You know that I am only at the Star God Realm, so why did you bring me up to the position of the patriarch? You're obviously just setting me up to fail! With my current strength, how can I expand territory in the Chaotic Region? If I don't expand my territory, I will be killed by the laws. On the other hand, if I do try to expand my territory, I will surely be killed by other stronger warriors. I'm damned either way! Now, you mean to tell me that you didn't do that on purpose?
