"My Lord!"
Hong Maru quickly informed Bai Luo of this good news: "Father has decided to lead the Ogre Race and pledge allegiance to you."
"You did well, Hong Maru."
Bai Luo heard the conversation between Hong Maru and the Red Ogre Leader. He smiled and said: "Actually, there's no need to be so nervous. I'm not a cruel person."
"I'm not good at managing villages."
"So, the work of managing the village still needs to be done by you."
In Hong Maru's surprised gaze, Bai Luo asked him to call the Red Ogre Leader and Bai Lao, and then bestowed names upon them: "From now on, Village Chief, you shall be called Red King, and Old Master, you shall be called Bai Lao."
The two of them had never expected that Bai Luo would bestow names upon them.
And as a portion of Bai Luo's magic essence disappeared, a surging magic power storm immediately erupted from Red King and Bai Lao's bodies.
Soon, the two of them, like Hong Maru and the other three, completed their evolution from Great Ogre Clan to Ghost-Human Race.
However, perhaps because the two were no longer young, their potential was not as great as Hong Maru and the others.
Even though they were also Ghost-Human Race, Bai Lao and Red King did not awaken Unique Skill.
Of course, the two's combat power was not weak.
The extra skills inherited from Bai Luo were all very powerful, capable of greatly enhancing a Monster's combat effectiveness.
"Thank you for bestowing names!"
Red King's appearance was very similar to Hong Maru's, just more composed and majestic: "Hong Maru was right, your magnanimity is astonishing!"
Everyone knew that bestowing a name caused immense harm to the giver.
Yet, Bai Luo was still willing to bestow his power upon them.
First Hong Maru and the other three, and now these two old fellows, Bai Luo's sincerity and his regard for the Great Ogre Clan made them feel overwhelmed with gratitude.
"Willing to bestow a name upon an old man like me, with one foot already in the grave."
After becoming an Ogre, Bai Lao's brows exuded a sense of benevolence. He stroked his beard and said: "You really are reckless."
"Please take care of yourself, My Lord."
"Don't worry, this little burden is nothing to me."
After bestowing names upon the two, Bai Luo's magic essence did not decrease.
Because Bai Lao, like Red King, both took a small step forward after reaching 10,000 magic essence, reaching 11,000.
"After increasing by several hundred magic essence, my current magic essence is 37,000 points."
"Subtracting the basic 10,000 points, I still have 27,000 magic essence that can be used to bestow names upon the Great Ogre Clan."
Bai Luo planned to use all of this magic essence to enhance the Great Ogre Clan's strength, evolving as many Ogres as possible.
And upon hearing that Bai Luo still intended to bestow names upon the Great Ogre Clan, Hong Maru and the others were all shocked.
The four quickly tried to dissuade him, hoping Bai Luo would take care of himself and not make such a huge sacrifice for them.
There was no saying of 'not worrying about scarcity, but about uneven distribution' here.
Group Monsters were inherently one.
Hong Maru, Red King, and the other six successfully evolving was equivalent to the overall strength of the Great Ogre Clan being enhanced.
With them leading and protecting, the Great Ogre Clan would surely prosper even more, which was a good thing for the entire race.
This situation was completely different from Bai Luo directly taking away the named Ogres and abandoning the village.
Leaving meant taking away the village's vital forces.
Staying meant providing protection for the village.
If Bai Luo had a favorability system, his standing in the hearts of the Great Ogre Clan would definitely have reached worship.
Powerful, generous, benevolent.
How fortunate it was for the village to welcome such an excellent Leader!
"It's fine, my situation is quite special."
"Just bestowing names upon a portion of the Great Ogre Clan doesn't affect me much."
Bai Luo didn't explain that he possessed the Unique Skill of Leader, and that the bestowed and followers would feedback a portion of magic essence to him.
This meant Bai Luo's actual magic essence consumption was not as great as imagined.
"But before that, there's one more thing I need to ask you to do."
Subsequently, Bai Luo told the six present that he wished to gain the allegiance of all the Great Ogre Clan.
"I'll immediately gather everyone!"
Hearing that Bai Luo merely wanted such a small matter, Red King immediately stood up, preparing to arrange an oath-taking ceremony to make Bai Luo truly the master of the village.
'Excellent!'
Bai Luo had calculated before that making the entire Great Ogre Clan village submit to him would yield at least 30,000 magic essence.
Adding to the existing 37,000, Bai Luo could already receive a Special A-Rank rating just based on his magic essence quantity.
"Unable to break through to Special A-Rank at once, keeping this magic essence doesn't make much sense."
Name bestowal feedback wasn't a waste of magic essence, but rather storing magic essence in another form elsewhere.
"It's finally over!"
The oath of allegiance ceremony lasted from day to night.
Throughout the process, Bai Luo wore a lavishly decorated ceremonial robe and sat at the head, waiting for the Great Ogre Clan to come forward in family units to pay their respects and worship.
Furthermore, it must be said that the Great Ogre Clan was indeed a simple and honest race.
Originally, Bai Luo estimated that these ordinary followers would provide 1% of magic essence, which would already be quite good.
After all, to be judged as a follower by the Leader, one needed to be loyal from the heart.
In Bai Luo's opinion, this itself was not a simple matter.
However, the situation of the Great Ogre Clan was somewhat beyond Bai Luo's expectations. These fierce-looking big guys were actually quite delicate inside.
Bai Luo's previous actions had completely won him the hearts of the Great Ogre Clan.
The amount of magic essence feedback from the Great Ogre Clan basically reached the maximum 3% that followers could provide, and even the underage Ogre children were no exception.
Ogre children, because they hadn't grown up, didn't have much magic essence, averaging only around C-Rank, which was 4,000 points.
The total number of Great Ogre Clan members was 254. 20 people were out on missions, and the remaining 20-odd people died in the Insect Monster disaster.
"Whew~~"
Recalling the scene of the Great Ogre Clan pledging allegiance, Bai Luo looked at his attribute panel.
[84000EP]
Nearly 85,000 magic essence, just looking at it, gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
"Hong Maru, Cang Ying, Zhu Cai, Zi Yuan."
Bai Luo looked at the four: "Have you found the elites worthy of me bestowing names upon them?"
"We have found them!"
The magic essence Bai Luo intended to spend this time was 64,000 points.
Calculated at 15% magic essence provided by the namer, Great Ogre Clan members with over 8,500 magic essence, when bestowed names by Bai Luo, would result in equal gains and losses, neither increasing nor decreasing.
However, in the entire Great Ogre Clan village, only Red King and Bai Lao had over 8,000 magic essence.
Even the outstanding members of the clan, Hong Maru, Cang Ying, and Zi Yuan, only had 7,000+ magic essence.
Therefore, Bai Luo set the naming threshold between 6,500 and 7,000.
Bai Luo had observed that most of the young adult warriors in the Great Ogre Clan only had a little over 6,000 magic essence, which was the level of early B-Rank.
In this regard, the Great Ogre Clan, which relied on brute force, did not have a high ecological niche among B-Rank Monsters.
Great Ogre Clan members with over 6,500 magic essence were definitely the elite of the elites in the village.
Bai Luo gave Hong Maru and Cang Ying 10 slots each, to form the Zike Crowd and Oniwaban, respectively.
Among them, the Zike Crowd would be led by Hong Maru, and they would lead the remaining Great Ogre Clan members to form teams for hunting and patrolling missions.
The Oniwaban, on the other hand, was similar to a ninja organization, specifically responsible for reconnaissance and escort work.
In addition, Zi Yuan and Zhu Cai each received 5 slots.
The two women planned to select female Great Ogre Clan members from the village to form the Zike Crowd and Witch Princess, respectively.
The purpose of the Zike Crowd was to personally protect Bai Luo's safety.
In addition, the Witch Princesses will also take on the responsibility of taking care of Bai Luo's daily life, which is equivalent to being Bai Luo's exclusive maids.
