120: Chapter 120: Either they die one by one, or they all die together!

Two minutes later, more detailed intelligence came back.

[Supplementary Reconnaissance Report]

[Enemy Military Composition: A coalition army composed of at least 30 alien lords]

[Vanguard: High-speed flying reconnaissance units (suspected Wind Eagle Knights), quantity approximately 200]

[Main Force: Mixed infantry, cavalry, and Ranged Troops, total number approximately 100,000]

[Rear Guard: 40 large siege engines]

[Warning: The enemy's flying reconnaissance units are moving extremely fast and have entered the edge of our reconnaissance range]

Xu Qin looked at this report and rubbed his chin, saying.

"Thirty lords. One hundred thousand troops. And siege engines."

"Could it be that they are coming for me?"

He thought for a moment, then shook his head. Not necessarily.

This is the Land of Myriad Races Conflict. Fighting every day is normal.

Perhaps these lords are just going to fight other opponents and happened to meet.

But since the direction is towards him, he cannot afford not to be prepared.

"All troops outside, return to the city immediately."

"Activate the Floating City shield."

"Tian Ming, you and Longgu stop grinding monsters and enter a state of combat readiness."

"Yes!" Tian Ming replied.

Orders followed one after another.

The ground troops of the Bull, Blade Guard, and Jackal Hunter began to retreat.

On the Combat Readiness Platform, eighty Bone Dragons folded their wings and waited quietly.

Tian Ming transported all the remains of the Mineral Vein Guardian on the third floor of the Combat Readiness Platform back to the treasure vault.

Longgu flew to the top of the Floating City and lay down.

Xu Qin looked at the refreshed data on the command panel.

The current total military strength of the Floating City is about 40,000. And the opponent has 100,000. The quantity is more than double.

But Xu Qin was not panicked at all. After all, troops are valued for their quality, not quantity.

His entire army is now at a minimum reinforcement of +560. Those alien lords on the other side probably don't even have +1.

"However..." Xu Qin rubbed his chin, looking solemn, "It's better to be careful. Thirty lords with different talents; if they join forces, what if they have some special means?"

He made a decision. While the opponent hasn't arrived yet, he would finish off the last two nearby.

"Tian Ming." "Present."

"You take the Blade Guard and Chuan Yun, along with one thousand Stitched Bone Beasts and three thousand Elven Archers, and wipe out the one in the east."

"Yes!"

"Bull, you take Tietang and the Jackal Hunter to the one in the northeast."

"Moo!"

"Resolve it within an hour."

Two troops poured down from both sides of the Floating City, rushing in different directions.

Xu Qin turned to look to the northeast. Eighty kilometers. The opponent's speed is about twenty to thirty. They will arrive in about three hours. Time is sufficient.

Forty minutes later. [Battle Victory! Lord Kill x1. Rock Lizard Tribe.] [War Gift triggered...]

One hour later. [Battle Victory! Lord Kill x1. Gray Wolf Tribe.] [War Gift triggered...]

Xu Qin looked at the soaring resources and closed the panel with satisfaction. Very good, target achieved, all six wiped out.

At this moment, a new notification popped up on the command panel. [Urgent!] [Enemy reconnaissance units are approaching! Distance: 22 kilometers!] [Estimated contact time: 35 minutes.]

[Supplementary Intelligence: The enemy's vanguard flying formation has deployed into a fan-shaped search formation. The main force in the rear is still marching, but the speed has increased. The siege engine queue has deployed into deployment posture.]

Xu Qin opened the command panel to check. Tian Ming's troops have returned to the city. The Bull is returning, estimated in three minutes.

"Very good." Xu Qin walked to the edge of the Watchtower.

On the northeastern horizon, a few small black dots could be faintly seen moving at high speed.

Xu Qin did not order an interception. Instead, he let them see clearly. It would be best if they saw the size of the Floating City and the Longgu lying on top of the city clearly.

Five minutes later, the Wind Eagle Knights hovered at high altitude three kilometers away, looking at the Floating City from afar. Then they pulled the reins and turned around to leave.

Twenty minutes later. The Floating City command panel received a communication request. [Alien Lord Alliance · Representative requests communication connection.] [Accept?]

Xu Qin frowned slightly upon seeing this. Requesting a communication connection?

Good grief, are you really here to fight me? Thinking of this, he clicked [Accept].

A phantom of an Orc appeared in front of him. On the other side, after the Orc saw Xu Qin's phantom, it spoke first, using the Common Language of Myriad Races:

"Undead Lord." "Hmm."

"I am the leader of the Iron Tooth Tribe, Chieftain Gelake. I represent thirty-two alliance leaders to negotiate with you."

Xu Qin sat on the bone throne, crossing his legs. "Speak."

Chieftain Gelake examined the internal structure of the Floating City, his eyes flickering. "You killed six of our allies."

"Oh." "?" Chieftain Gelake waited for two seconds, seeing that Xu Qin didn't speak. "Are you not going to explain?"

"Explain what?" Xu Qin asked.

Chieftain Gelake was stunned by the words and pondered. Although it didn't know the truth, the fact that the six families were wiped out shortly after sending out distress signals was enough to explain the problem.

Chieftain Gelake could only take the initiative to speak: "Our alliance has thirty-two lords and 120,000 troops."

"If you are willing to hand over the territory resources of those six families and promise not to enter the eastern region of the Land of Myriad Races Conflict, we can..."

"Not handing them over." Xu Qin interrupted before Chieftain Gelake could finish speaking.

Xu Qin had already figured out the opponent's intention. He stood up and walked to Chieftain Gelake with his hands behind his back.

"I have a suggestion for you. Go back and tell your allies. If you turn around and run now, there's still time. Otherwise..." "Die!"

Chieftain Gelake's lips tightened. "You..."

"Isn't it just 100,000 troops? If you have confidence, just bring them over."

Chieftain Gelake didn't speak. After a brief silence, it spoke again. "You are bluffing."

"You can bet on it," Xu Qin laughed, "but I advise you to think clearly. Think clearly about what consequences your decision will bring."

"You only have two choices now..." Xu Qin turned to look at Chieftain Gelake. "One is to die one by one. Two is to die together. You... choose."

Chieftain Gelake's pupils shrank, and its back felt slightly cold. "I... will convey it." The communication was cut off.

Xu Qin closed the panel and couldn't help but chuckle. "Heh, clearly afraid, yet still putting on an act. Since you want to fight, why the hell are you still yapping?"

He shook his head in disdain. The opponent came to negotiate before fighting, wanting to scare him off with troop numbers. This shows that some of the lords among them don't want to fight. After all, with thirty-two lords gathered together, no one wants to be a coward. But if a few suggest retreating... then the other lords will hesitate. This is the disadvantage of collective decision-making.

"Forget it, why bother with rules." Xu Qin walked towards the Watchtower and opened the command panel.

"Longgu." "Master." A low dragon roar came from the top of the city.

"Take your brothers. Prepare to attack."

Xu Qin opened the deployment panel. Eighty Bone Dragons, select all. Longgu, step out. Then, he clicked on the map and found the location of the alien coalition army. "Wipe them all out!"
