"Their only way to prevent extermination isn't to defeat the invaders, but to make the invaders suffer losses."
"Anyone wanting to invade them has to consider that even if they win, their own strength will be weakened, and the resources they obtain might not even be warmed up before they face the same fate."
The steward smiled: "However, before the Great King, everything is actually the same."
"Currently, the myriad races, excluding the victor races, are roughly divided into four or five alliances. These alliances are vast and chaotic, each composed of many small races."
"Moreover, these alliances seem to have connections with each other, but this is only an official guess, without substantial evidence."
"Actually, in the end, they are also afraid. Last time, the officials secretly annihilated several races without anyone knowing, taking their corpses to create Demon-Sealing Stones. It's not easy to keep this matter under wraps until now."
Qian Er said indifferently, casually picking up a piece of beef jerky from the table and stuffing it into his mouth.
"Great King, Elder Xu Tianhe of the Void Crane Clan, requests an audience!"
City Lord Zhang rushed over anxiously.
"Void Crane?" Qian Er stood up and walked towards the outside of the royal palace, looking at the empty sky.
"No, he's at the city gate, saying it's more respectful to the Great King that way."
Facing Qian Er's questioning gaze, City Lord Zhang quickly explained.
"The Void Crane Clan has become much more polite recently."
Qian Er murmured.
In front of the Void Crane, he naturally couldn't reveal the Frost耀 Bone Dragon again. Fortunately, Stele City wasn't very big, and riding City Lord Zhang's usual pet beast, he quickly arrived at the city gate.
Seeing the scene at the city gate, Qian Er instantly began to doubt himself.
He saw a group of travelers surrounding the Void Crane, taking pictures, and the Void Crane, as the clan elder, didn't have any airs at all, seeming to enjoy it.
"Originally, everyone hid when he arrived here."
"But he said he had no malice and repeatedly assured that he wouldn't hurt anyone, so it became like this..."
City Lord Zhang explained.
This is a Void Crane?
Qian Er was a little confused.
"Ah, King Zhen Tian, you've come."
The Void Crane Elder saw Qian Er and smiled docilely at him.
What the heck...
Qian Er walked forward, frowning at him: "What's the matter?"
"It's like this, those victor races want to form an alliance with us, but I refused them. This is the envoy they sent, Sequence Seven. What do you think we should do with him?"
As he spoke, the Void Crane Elder lowered his head. Following his gaze, Qian Er noticed that he was stepping on a Soul Devourer.
This Soul Devourer had obviously suffered a lot. Its carapace was almost completely gone, and its body was covered in dense wounds, but it was clearly still alive, with some fear in its eyes as it looked at Qian Er.
"Easy, this is easy."
A humanoid pet beast with bulging muscles all over its body walked out from behind Qian Er at some point. Seeing this pet beast, the Void Crane Elder's body trembled instinctively.
The Blood-Burning Saint walked up to the Void Crane Elder, not even looking at him. He grabbed the Soul Devourer from under his feet and stuffed it into his mouth.
The sound of chewing rang out, and the Void Crane Elder seemed to recall some bad memories, and his body began to tremble slightly again.
"Thank you for your reminder. Rest assured, they can't do anything to your clan."
"Thank you, Lord King Zhen Tian!"
The Void Crane Elder bent his knees and knelt down before Qian Er with his head lowered.
"Snap."
There was a sudden flash at the scene.
"Alright, alright, go back if there's nothing else."
Qian Er was still very uncomfortable with the Void Crane Elder's attitude. After the Void Crane left, City Lord Zhang looked at his receding figure: "Is this old guy trustworthy?"
"He should be trustworthy," Qian Er paused for a moment: "If they want to choose a side, it's different from us. After all, we are the only dominant force."
"If they ally with the victor races, after winning, there will be eight people stronger than them who can devour them. No matter which one they offend, they can't escape destruction."
"But standing on our side, it's enough to surround us alone."
As Qian Er spoke, he turned and walked back into the city, seeing Ao Tianshun holding a camera, gesturing at Qian Er.
"I took a picture, now I can hype it up."
"...Pay attention not to uglify my image, or I'll beat you."
"How could that be? I've already thought of the title: Void Crane Elder is actually King Zhen Tian's lapdog..."
"You want to die?"
"What do you say, how will those victor races see the Void Crane now?"
Qian Er's eyes darted around, as if he had thought of something.
...
"Void Crane, this traitor, bastard, beast!"
"A great humiliation, simply a great humiliation!"
Sequence One paced back and forth angrily, crimson pheromones flying everywhere. All the victor races except the Void Crane had gathered at the scene.
The leaders of the other races also looked indignant.
They never thought that the Void Crane would reject their alliance and decisively capture Sequence Seven and offer him to the Human Race!
Lackey!
Sequence One was almost exploding with anger. He hadn't stopped since receiving the news, constantly cursing.
Although a small Sequence Seven didn't cause any substantial change to the overall combat power, this matter really disgusted everyone.
"Alright, the matter has already happened, we might as well think about how to deal with them."
Ice King sighed.
"The Void Crane is now determined to be tied to the Human Race. He will regret it sooner or later."
"Besides, didn't we send people to the Void Crane territory? They are now weak, and it's impossible for them to clear out all the spies we sent from several races."
Hearing this, Sequence One's expression improved slightly.
"Report, Qian Er just went to the territory of the Void Crane Clan, and our spies were all killed!"
Bang!
Ice King angrily stomped the ground.
"Qian Er! You deserve to die!"
The faces of the several lords present were also a little unsightly.
The atmosphere at the scene was very serious. After a long time, Ice King recovered from his anger.
"The key is not the Void Crane, but Qian Er. This person is too difficult to deal with, completely unreasonable. Every time he appears, he will be several times stronger than the last time."
"It's impossible to attack the Void Crane now. This old thing has become a good dog of the Human Race. A strong attack on the Void Crane is not worth the loss for us."
"Solve Qian Er first, and everything will be easy to say."
Everyone fell into dead silence again. Obviously, it was not an easy task to solve Qian Er.
Just like Qian Er providing protection to the Void Crane, the Human Race will also provide protection to Qian Er. It is simply a dream to attack him in a short time.
