Chapter 201: Winner Takes All
“What, dozens of Demi-god Strongers?”
Hu Feng pretended to be greatly shocked, making the nervous Naga Queen let out a slight sigh of relief. Then, his tone suddenly changed, “That’s right, dozens of Demi-god Strongers. Devouring all their Origin Power and Souls would be enough for me to break through to the Divine Domain Realm in one fell swoop and become the only Divine Domain Lich King on the continent!”
Looking at the nervous Naga Queen, Hu Feng smiled evilly.
If it were before, dozens of Demi-god Strongers would indeed have made people afraid to act rashly. Now, after refining the Crystal World and breaking through to the Demi-god Peak, ordinary Demi-god Strongers were no longer power ful opponents to him; on the contrary, they were rare prey one by one, and he urgently needed to devour their power to rapidly charge through the final bottleneck of the Demi-god Realm.
Once he broke through to the Divine Domain Realm and became a Divine Domain Lich King who could command the wind and rain, Prince Arthas, Saintess Flochra, and other strong ones would all have to die! He would seize their treasures and devour their power! At that time, the Lich Legion would be truly invincible, killing across thousands of miles!
“Lord, you… could it be that you really want to become enemies with our Naga Clan?”
The Naga Queen swallowed her saliva with difficulty, realizing that Hu Feng, this Great Demon Head, was even more evil and fierce than she had expected. She paused for a moment, then forced herself to remain calm as she continued, “As an Overlord of the sea, our Naga Clan possesses a large number of elite warriors. The eight Naga Elders have all Cultivated to the Demi-god Peak. Lord, you had better consider my suggestion. We are willing to pay a reasonable compensation for our previous actions. However, if you refuse my kindness, once a full-scale war is provoked, there will absolutely be no benefit for you!”
At this critical moment, the Naga Queen continued her final efforts, attempting to survive this disaster safely.
“Hmm, these conditions are indeed not bad. To have a safe habitat is something that couldn’t be obtained even in dreams for millions of years!”
“Yes, killing the Naga Queen would do us no good either.”
…
Hearing the Naga Queen’s conditions, the Mermaid Clan members under the Crystal Altar discussed animatedly. The vast majority, almost all of them, subconsciously agreed to her conditions.
The Naga Clan was not the most powerful race in the sea, but with their vast numbers and powerful fighting strength, they were still a regional Overlord, dominating vast areas of the sea. This time, being able to save Crystal City under their attack had already made the people very relieved. If they could sign a magic agreement with the Naga Queen, coexist peacefully, and obtain a large amount of resources and a safe habitat with their help, that would be absolutely the best outcome.
Many Mermaid Warriors had been wandering constantly from birth to death, living difficult lives. Especially some wounded soldiers with grey beards; no one longed for a peaceful and stable life more than they did. Restoring the former glory of the Mermaid Clan unifying the four seas had long become an unrealistic dream.
“Lord Hu Feng, how about…”
After pondering for a moment, Bailier was also somewhat tempted, and she spoke while looking at Hu Feng.
Although the pain from her torn lower body had long healed, looking at Hu Feng, the man who had taken her first time, her face still involuntarily showed a trace of lingering shyness. For some reason, she always felt that Hu Feng’s gaze upon her was weird, like a starving hungry wolf.
“As a regional Overlord, our Naga Clan not only possesses vast resources and vast sea areas, but also many Vassal Races.” Seeing that the Mermaid Clan was being moved by her conditions, the Naga Queen’s eyes lit up, seeing the hope of getting out of trouble smoothly, and she decisively added fuel to the fire, “To show our sincerity, and to guarantee the safety of your Mermaid Clan, I can order in the name of the Naga Queen to transfer a group of more than a hundred thousand Deep Sea Octopuses to you!”
“More than a hundred thousand Deep Sea Octopuses?”
The people exclaimed in surprise, overjoyed.
The status of Deep Sea Octopuses in the Sea Tribe was similar to that of Cave Dwellers in the Underground World. They had vast numbers and amazing reproductive abilities, but they were slow and had little attack power. They had always been vassals of major races, engaged in arduous work such as fishing, mining, and building cities. A tribe of more than a hundred thousand Deep Sea Octopuses was definitely a generous gift for the Mermaid Clan, which was waiting to be rebuilt. With so much free labor, defense towers could be quickly built around Crystal City and the habitat, and various kinds of food and resources could be quickly provided.
After throwing out a generous gift that was still impossible to refuse while the iron was hot, seeing the Mermaid Clan completely rejoicing, a smile appeared on the Naga Queen’s face.
Between races, there is no eternal friendship, nor eternal enemies; there is only eternal interest. Compared to the continent, the territory of the Sea Tribe was hundreds of times larger, with more habitats and broader space. In wars between Sea Tribes, the defeated side could often linger on by providing sufficient compensation and migrating to distant seas to rest and recover.
A vast habitat, large amounts of resources, plus a vast Vassal Race; the Naga Queen, Cassandra, believed that the Mermaid Clan, which had been wandering everywhere for millions of years and was used to hard days, simply could not refuse such conditions. She looked at Hu Feng with confidence, quietly waiting for his reply.
Unexpectedly, Hu Feng just listened quietly like that, without any change on his face. In an instant, the Naga Queen, Cassandra, who had just been confident, felt her heart sink, having a very bad premonition.
“A Vassal Race is certainly needed, but a mere hundred thousand is too few!” Hu Feng made no comment, smiling evilly, a smile that made the Naga Queen’s hair stand on end.
Hearing him say this, the Naga Queen, Cassandra, took a deep breath and resolutely made a difficult decision, “Five hundred thousand. I can give all the Deep Sea Octopuses that are vassals to our Naga Clan to you!”
“Five hundred thousand is still too few!”
Hu Feng poured a basin of cold water over the hopeful Naga Queen, and said indifferently, “Beautiful Her Majesty the Queen, do you know what an important and sacred thing you have destroyed? The harm to the Mermaid Clan can be compensated with resources, habitats, and Vassal Races; but for ruining my big event with Bailier, what will you use to compensate?”
Having just tasted a little sweetness before being interrupted, every man would hold a belly full of fire in his heart, and Hu Feng was no exception. As he spoke, he looked up and down at the Naga Queen’s exceptionally tall figure, with an evil smile on his face.
“Sacred thing?”
It would have been better if Hu Feng hadn’t said it, but as soon as he did, the Naga Queen, Cassandra, couldn’t help but think of that unsightly scene again, and her face turned red. Looking at Hu Feng who had a face full of evil smiles, she instinctively retreated a few steps, summoned her courage and said, “Lord… Lord, if you are willing, we can send a group of beauties from various Sea Tribes, guaranteed to be more beautiful than one another.”
“Good, very good, the more the better!”
Hu Feng smiled, and then said, “However, this is far from enough. Beautiful Her Majesty the Queen, you delayed my good deed, have you considered how to personally compensate? In addition, your Naga Clan, starting from today, will officially become a vassal of the Mermaid Clan, assisting them to become the absolute Overlord of the ocean just like in ancient times!”
As Hu Feng spoke, he pressed his right hand into the Void. Including the Naga Queen, Cassandra, all Naga Warriors knelt involuntarily under an unparalleled pressure. Their bodies creaked, as if all their bones were about to be crushed into pieces. The usually high and noble Naga Queen, at this moment, also had to kneel on the ground in humiliation.
“You are dreaming! Our Naga Clan would rather all die in battle than agree to such conditions!”
The Naga Queen, Cassandra, took a difficult breath, raised her head in humiliation, and stared fiercely at Hu Feng. The eight sharp swords in her hands suddenly slashed towards her own throat, attempting to commit suicide on the spot, “Evil Great Demon Head, if I die, the Naga Clan will soon elect a new queen. At that time, just wait for the revenge of our Naga Clan warriors, all of you will have to die!”
Before she died, the Naga Queen resentfully swept her gaze over everyone present, her heart filled with resentment, unwillingness, and regret.
This time, she personally led a large army to attack, originally preparing to capture Crystal City in one fell swoop, using the Origin Power of this Crystal Castle to cultivate a large number of powerful warriors, preparing for the next step of expansion. Unexpectedly, she accidentally walked into a trap and fell into the hands of Hu Feng, this evil and despicable Great Demon Head.
As soon as Hu Feng made a move, the Naga Queen gave up her futile resistance.
Both were in the Demi-god Realm, but in front of Hu Feng, she felt as if she were facing an eternal and indestructible Ancient Demon God, completely unable to resist!
Ding…
Just as the Naga Queen, Cassandra, was about to commit suicide, a red light suddenly flashed before her eyes, and the eight sharp swords simultaneously fell to the ground. In Hu Feng’s hand, a completely red heavy sword appeared at some point. It had no sharp blade edge, but the danger it gave off was undiminished. Upon careful sensing, one could seem to hear the roars of countless dead souls. This heavy sword had no idea how much blood of Strongers it had stained.
“Beautiful Her Majesty the Queen, you must understand that from this moment on, you are already mine. Even if you want to commit suicide, you have to ask if I agree first!” Hu Feng held the heavy Dragon-Slaying Sword, looking at the Naga Queen who had failed to commit suicide with a faint smile, “Her Majesty the Queen, just stay in Crystal City with peace of mind, and watch how your Naga warriors fall into the net one by one!”
“Dream on! Our Naga Clan will never agree to your request, nor will we fall into your trap!”
Unable to live and unable to die, the Naga Queen, Cassandra, was completely in despair, and said fiercely, “That’s right, I am the Queen of the Naga Clan, but the eight Elders of our Naga Clan will not easily take risks. Soon, they will elect a new queen, and at that time, you evil Great Demon Head, just wait to be torn to pieces!”
“No, Her Majesty the Queen, you are wrong. I dare to guarantee that your clansmen will definitely come charging over. Even if they know it is a trap, they will still charge over regardless of everything!”
Hu Feng smiled evilly, looking at the beautiful and noble Naga Queen, and quickly thought of an idea to make the Naga Clan moths flying into the flame.
