304 The Surrender of the Alliance
Zhao Qingrong swung her weapon to attack. Orochi’s HP decreased rapidly.
The leader sensed that something was wrong. He considered the fact that Zhao Qingrong had two SSS-class treasures. However, he felt that Orochi would still be enough to tear her down. The leader of the Lords was confident.
Although they were slightly inferior in level and strength, their numbers were great. Their collective strength far exceeded Zhao Qingrong’s. If the Lords banded together, they would eventually defeat her.
At this moment, they saw Su Wan with another SSS-class treasure in her hand. Shi Linglong and Lin Yao had them too!
!!
The leader of the Lords had some hope when it came to Zhao Qingrong, but he felt helpless now.
“Impossible! Why do they have so many SSS-class treasures?!”
He suspected that they must have cheated. If a Lord obtained an A-class weapon or treasure, they would already be considered strong. Having so many SSS-class weapons and treasures was unheard of.
Zhao Qingrong’s two-handed cross blade dealt explosive damage. One swipe had almost killed Orochi! If it weren’t for his special treasure, Orochi would already be dead.
“D*mn it! How?! How do they have so many SSS-class treasures?!” The leader of the Lords felt helpless.
The strength of the Lords’ alliance was unparalleled. They were all above Level 45! They even had Yamata no Orochi on their side.
This sort of massive alliance would be enough to crush any Lord easily. However, they were helpless now.
The leader of the Lords hadn’t expected this at all. He had a bad feeling about all this.
Lin Yao summoned a huge magic array. This was an AoE ability that could attack all targets within a 5000-meter radius. It was usually used to attack groups of enemies.
The skill had many limitations. It consumed too much mana and didn’t deal heavy damage. However, with Xu Yuan’s Demonic Dragon’s Blessing ability, these limitations were no longer of concern. Lin Yao felt her mana regenerate as quickly as she used them.
In addition, the scepter she had obtained in the mythical ruins could also increase magic damage by 40% and penetration by 50%. With this, the power of the flames had been greatly enhanced.
The scepter and the mage robe provided both offensive and defensive uses. Countless fiery raindrops fell from the sky.
“We have lost more than half of our troops. If we continue fighting, I’m afraid we will be totally wiped out,” said a Lord to the leader.
Their alliance was falling. In contrast, Zhao Qingrong had suffered only one-third of the damage.
The leader frowned as he looked at the notifications that rapidly appeared, informing him of the numerous deaths.
More than half of their troops had fallen. One of the heroes was dead, and most others were heavily injured.
Other than Yamata no Orochi, who was struggling, all others in the vanguard were dead. If they continued, there would be nothing remaining of the alliance.
However, they didn’t know if they could retreat. Zhao Qingrong might not give them a chance to flee. She had warned them, and they had charged forward, anyway.
“Please, stop! We will surrender!” shouted the leader to Zhao Qingrong. “We don’t have any enmity toward you. The Light-Types promised us benefits if we took you down. The others didn’t want to sit around and do nothing. So, we all formed an alliance.”
They hadn’t dared to attack Su Wan’s territory. They wanted to take down the other Lords one by one before targeting her. They had miscalculated. No one had expected all four Overlords to be equally terrifying.
“Hmph! I gave you a chance! You dare attack my territory on a whim and want to stop whenever you please?” Zhao Qingrong’s voice was icy.
She could wipe out these Lords if she wanted to.
“I’m genuinely sorry,” said the leader of the Lords. “We got the wrong person. This is all a misunderstanding.”
The alliance was willing to pay 50,000 gemstones as compensation.
The enemies had suffered more casualties than her. 50,000 gemstones were enough to cover whatever she had lost. However, Zhao Qingrong didn’t want to let them go easily. She was really enraged by their audacity. She hadn’t even done anything to them, but they had attacked her.
“If you want to leave this place alive, pay 100,000 gemstones as compensation,” said Zhao Qingrong. “Do not ever step near my territory again, or I will slaughter you without mercy.”
“I-Isn’t 100,000 gemstones a bit much?” said the leader of the Lords shakily. They had already suffered a great loss. If they paid that number of gemstones, they couldn’t really recover.
“You should’ve thought about that before you attacked me,” said Zhao Qingrong. “I gave you a chance to retreat, but you wanted to fight. Either pay me 100,000 gemstones, or you will continue this war that you started until every single one of you is dead.”
The four friends were going to distribute the gemstones equally among themselves, so 50,000 gemstones were too little.
The Lords felt helpless. If they had to pay 100,000 gemstones, they would suffer a heavy loss. However, they still had Orochi, and the most important thing right now was to stay alive.
“Alright! We are willing to pay 100,000 gemstones, as long as you promise to keep your word and let us go,” said the leader of the Lord.
He gathered all the Lords and made them pay some amount of gemstones. He was finally able to collect 100,000 gemstones.
Zhao Qingrong accepted the gemstones. “This is the last chance I give you. If you invade me again, I will not show mercy.”
“Why leave them and be in doubt? Just kill them all and save yourself some trouble,” said Xu Yuan from afar.
