Time seemed to freeze in the hands of the Witches as they clutched their crystal balls.
Inside the crystal ball, the terrifying black clouds that had just moments ago blotted out the sky and raged with fierce might, had, in merely a dozen minutes, 'evaporated' at a visible speed amidst deafening roars and an unending barrage of explosions.
The Harpy legion was instantly torn apart and pulverized.
Not even…
A single survivor was left!
A legion of 30,000, and not a single survivor remained; at least, no living Harpy was seen in the Witch's crystal ball.
That was a full 30,000, including even top-tier existences like Rare ★ ★ ★ ★ ★, yet they couldn't withstand the attack of that interwoven fire net. What kind of forbidden-level magic was this…
The most terrifying thing was that the Witches searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of a survivor.
These were Harpies!
An aerial unit known for its mobility, yet it couldn't escape the attack range.
What would happen if it were ground units instead…
Dozens of Witches and Flower Elves felt a chill down their spines, falling into a silent trance.
After a long while, they finally organized their thoughts and relayed the events to their Lord.
"What are you talking about? 30,000, that's a full 30,000 Harpies… Are you telling me they're all gone?"
Upon receiving the news, Lin Qingqiu could hardly believe it, murmuring, "All gone? In just a dozen minutes… just a dozen minutes?"
This result was truly hard for her to accept.
If such a Harpy army were to attack her territory, she would likely be powerless to resist without external aid.
And Chen Yu…
This Dungeon Lord actually annihilated the entire opposing force!
And only used 101 Adventurer?
What kind of terrifying destructive power was this? Was this truly still a Dungeon Lord?
They said…
War Lords specialize in military, and Dungeon Lords specialize in economy, right?
Since ancient times, haven't Dungeon Lords always lacked military capabilities, just waiting to be harvested by War Lords?
Is this what you call lacking military capabilities?
Is this what you call having only economy and no strength?
Is this what you call being at the mercy of others?
Lin Qingqiu stood frozen, speechless for a long time.
If this news hadn't been relayed to her by her trusted Flower Elves, and if she weren't absolutely certain that her subordinate units would never betray her, Lin Qingqiu would have doubted the veracity of this information.
This was truly… too far from her previous understanding.
Just then, Lin Qingqiu received an email in her system, and she opened it in a daze.
Chen Yu: "Oh right, where did you say your territory was?"
Upon seeing this sentence, Lin Qingqiu's expression froze, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"...No, bro, why are you asking that!"
"I need to find you for something."
Seeing these four words, Lin Qingqiu's face was uglier than if she had eaten a fly. She forced a smile: "That's not necessary, is it? It's perfectly fine for us to discuss things here, don't you think, bro?"
"What did you call me?"
"Father! Father, please command!"
"..."
Direct and to the point, Lin Qingqiu was unimaginably sensible, instantly dropping to her knees.
It left Chen Yu with nothing to criticize.
He had originally wanted to give her another little push, but she had already knelt, so what was there left to push?
Chen Yu shook his head helplessly, speechless.
Lin Qingqiu showed no embarrassment about this; in the struggle of myriad races, the strong are fathers—this is a universal rule.
Only those who fail to recognize the situation are fools.
Everything speaks through strength.
If Chen Yu had only narrowly won, it would have been nothing. Lin Qingqiu might have been surprised by his strength, but her attitude wouldn't have changed much; it would just have been a bit more effort.
But…
30,000 Harpies annihilated in a dozen minutes, and he only sent 101 people.
This result… how could Lin Qingqiu still dare to underestimate him? If the other party sent those 101 people to her territory, Lin Qingqiu couldn't even imagine what would happen. According to the Flower Elves' description and the partial footage the Witches just sent back, Lin Qingqiu dared to say…
At least in this area, all the War Lords combined wouldn't be enough for Chen Yu to fight.
Unless the level cap is lifted, their unit quality is further improved, and their talents and skills experience a qualitative leap, otherwise…
Absolutely no one can contend with him…
Lin Qingqiu's reaction showed how strong the shock caused by those two Gatling Machine Gun cards was.
Currently, the strongest units in this area can only reach the peak of Rare grade. The appearance of Excellent grade cards can be said to be a dimensionality reduction strike.
Lin Qingqiu's cowardice was not unfounded.
However, in reality, although Chen Yu seemingly only sent 101 people to this battle, it was actually very costly.
Although happy coins are a virtual currency created by Chen Yu, they are not printed arbitrarily. When happy coins are spent here, they must be recovered from elsewhere; the market cannot be chaotic.
Chen Yu stopped speaking.
Lin Qingqiu's eyes flickered; she clearly didn't intend to miss this opportunity. "Father, do you think I can join your Alliance now?"
She still remembered what Chen Yu had said earlier.
At that time, his attitude was: "How dare a mere Dungeon Lord boast so brazenly? What 'Great Xia Alliance'? Not even a dog would join."
Now it was…
Join!
If dogs don't join, I will. I'm a person of the Great Xia Alliance in life and a ghost of the Great Xia Alliance in death.
Not just Lin Qingqiu herself, she also planned to persuade her elder sister, Lin Qingxian, to simply abandon the Witch Alliance.
If you can't beat them, join them.
There's no shame in it.
Facing Lin Qingqiu's 'enthusiastic' attitude, Chen Yu rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
He said helplessly, "You should change your address. Although I like to adopt sons, I'll pass on adopted daughters. As for joining the Alliance, it's all the same whether you join or not. For now, you can stay in the Witch Alliance. If anything comes up, I'll find you."
Chen Yu actually didn't trust them.
They were too adaptable; such people were not so easy to control.
But it didn't matter.
He would nurture them for now. As long as they didn't get too fat, it wouldn't be a big problem.
"Understood."
Lin Qingqiu could sense something as well, and she asked with a smile, "Then am I considered your person now, my King?"
"That depends on how sensible you are," Chen Yu replied indifferently, then ended the conversation.
At the same time, the defensive battle in Bai Yunkong's territory had also ended.
Xu Hu had calculated well; after exploding his forces, the number of his Harpy Guards had reached 1,200, already outnumbering Bai Yunkong.
He had originally thought that even if he couldn't conquer his territory, he could at least suppress him and make him breathless, taking revenge for the destroyed castle.
Then, when the Harpy army returned later, he would assist them in completely eliminating this guy.
But the result…
Xu Hu never expected that his troops would disappear not long after they had gone.
"What's going on?"
"Has it been cursed?"
Xu Hu suspected that there might be something wrong with the system.
But just then, there was a knock on the castle gate. "Hello, our Lord says he has a delivery for you."
