When Qi Maosong mentioned his Lord, a glimmer of hope immediately rekindled in Guo Quan’s heart. “Who is your Lord? Let me see him. I will surely offer enough chips to save my life…”
In Guo Quan’s view, everything in this world could be exchanged for profit.
While that was indeed true…
He overestimated himself. Chen Yu had nothing he wanted to gain from him.
Qi Maosong slowly shook his head. “I’m afraid our Lord doesn’t want to see you. The reason he sent me to save you is that it would be somewhat regrettable if you died so inexplicably. So he sent me to tell you something…”
“Wh-what…?”
“Do you remember the corpse outside Tian Zhi Tavern?”
“What?!”
Guo Quan’s pupils constricted, and he couldn’t help but stumble back two steps, his face filled with shock. “So, so your Lord is him…”
“That’s right. So… you offended our Lord and still want to live?” Qi Maosong sneered, raising the revolver in his hand. “Go dream that in hell!”
With that.
The gun fired.
Guo Quan tried to resist at the last moment, but without the protection of his castle core, he was just an ordinary person, utterly common, and he couldn’t escape Qi Maosong’s judgment.
He ultimately fell, becoming a corpse…
Until his death, he couldn’t understand why he, who had only offended a Civilian Lord at the time, ended up like this.
This Civilian, he…
With Guo Quan’s death, one Magic Rock Giant after another in the Witch Alliance army, which was about to arrive nearby, turned into stone.
They collapsed with a crash.
Their life cores had lost all vitality.
Seeing this scene, several Great Witch under Lin Luohe were utterly horrified.
“What’s going on?”
“Could it be, could it be… their Lord has already been killed?”
“How could that be? That was a territory known for its strongest defense, and how much time has passed since then…”
The Witches’ eyes filled with fear.
They felt a chill down their spines.
This time, the territory with the strongest defense was destroyed. What if their own castles faced the same fate next time?
When the Witches arrived at the scene at an extremely fast speed, they saw that the castle before them had indeed changed hands.
A familiar protective shield appeared above the castle.
And including several village territories near this castle, all were under the protection of the shield, meaning they were now all in the hands of this Dungeon Lord.
Through a Witch’s crystal ball, Lin Luohe also saw the appearance of this protective shield.
He felt a chill down his spine.
Guo Quan was just gone, like that?
How could this be…
This guy, wasn't he known for the strongest defense? Even his territory was destroyed like this…
At this moment, Lin Luohe suddenly realized that this Dungeon Lord before him was probably not ordinary.
In the past, Dungeon Lords could only passively take hits because their territories themselves had little combat capability.
Even with Contract Adventurer, it was difficult to train them effectively.
After all, if it came to magic and swordsmanship, which of the War Lord’s troops wasn’t stronger than them? The training costs were completely incomparable.
But now…
This Dungeon Lord’s Contract Adventurer were clearly different; their attack methods were not only strange and unique but also lethal, and they were elusive in battle.
In terms of combat power, they were completely comparable to the Great Witch he had trained with vast resources.
And the most terrifying thing was…
If the top-tier troops of these War Lords died, they were truly dead. Not everyone had a resurrection spell like Lin Luohe.
And resurrection spells were not unlimited either…
However, if a Dungeon Lord’s Contract Adventurer died, they could be resurrected indefinitely, only requiring a bit of soul crystal.
Furthermore.
War Lords’ castles could be attacked whenever desired; if one couldn’t win, they could try again next time.
But a Dungeon Lord’s castle was directly under a protective shield. No matter how the outside world crumbled, there was no movement inside the shield. The only impact was that the territory couldn’t ‘operate’ after being attacked.
But what if…
The other party didn’t rely on this territory to ‘operate’ in the first place? Lin Luohe remembered that the maintenance cost of a single castle wasn’t much.
Now, he didn’t even know where the other party came from. If they continued fighting like this, let alone causing losses to this Dungeon Lord, it might not have any impact at all, while he himself would constantly face the threat of an elite squad.
If the other party used the same firepower they used to bomb Guo Quan’s castle against him, then…
Thinking of this, Lin Luohe suddenly felt a chill.
“No!”
“This can’t go on. I need to stabilize him, I must stabilize this guy…”
Lin Luohe suddenly panicked a little.
After calculating the interests involved, he had already realized the seriousness of the situation.
Previously, to protect Guo Quan, he hadn’t considered much. Now, after calming down, he could quickly analyze the gains and losses.
Lin Luohe finally came to a conclusion: if they fought in the current state, he would likely suffer heavy losses.
After understanding this…
Lin Luohe hastily dispatched his Great Witch. Upon arriving at Changfeng Castle, they sent a message to the current owner of the territory, Chen Yu:
【Dear Dungeon Lord, hello, I am Lin Luohe, the leader of the Witch Alliance in this area. Regarding our previous conflict, here… I express my sincere apologies.】
【All of this was actually due to a misunderstanding. I was also deceived by Guo Quan, which led to such a conflict with you…】
A bunch of rambling followed.
The general meaning was:
He was wrong!
He wanted to repent!
He hoped for forgiveness…
The content was sincere, and the attitude was proper.
This made Chen Yu sigh with emotion. Heroes in this world were indeed like carps crossing a river, bowing their heads and admitting mistakes when they saw the situation was unfavorable. They could be said to be adaptable.
He was somewhat of a figure.
In response.
Chen Yu only replied with two words.
【Granted!】
The other party had already shown such a low attitude, so it was natural to go with the flow. After all, it was not convenient to go to war with Lin Luohe right now.
Because this battle did not come without any cost for Chen Yu. He had consumed a large number of cards during the firepower coverage, and his entire warehouse was almost empty.
