171: Chapter 171 That guy Tiege is too sycophantic.

Tie Ge · Orc Race: Not big, not big! Under Master's protection, the subordinate's development has been very smooth!

Tie Ge · Orc Race: Being able to serve Master is the subordinate's honor!

Xu Qin looked at Tie Ge's reply and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"This guy, why does he have such a strong desire to show off?"

He switched to the vassal channel and looked at the chat history from just now.

As expected.

Tie Ge must have felt the pressure.

Xu Qin nodded in satisfaction.

This was the effect he wanted.

He sent a message in the vassal channel.

Xu Qin · Undead Race: Tie Ge did well, everyone else keep it up.

The channel instantly exploded.

Zhou Ze · Bloodhoof Tribe: Hello, Master!

Fang Che · Human Race: Hello, Master!

Su Yao · Lizard Tribe: Master, we will definitely work hard!

Tie Ge looked at these messages and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he acted quickly.

If Su Yao had delivered the goods first, his position might have been in danger.

Meanwhile.

On the other side of the vassal channel.

Fang Che stared at Tie Ge's statement and fell silent for a few seconds.

Fang Che · Human Race: Brothers, do you guys feel...

Zhou Ze · Bloodhoof Tribe: Feel what?

Fang Che · Human Race: Tie Ge, this guy, is a bit too sycophantic.

Li Ming · Goblin Race: Hahaha, indeed.

Lin Feng · Treant Race: What kind of thing is "Being able to serve Master is an honor"? How could he even say that?

Su Yao · Lizard Tribe: ...

Su Yao looked at these complaints, and she felt a bit mixed inside.

She thought of her previous conversation with Xu Qin.

"Big Brother Xu Qin", "I will set off immediately"...

Her choice of words didn't seem much better either.

Su Yao didn't speak and silently closed the channel.

Fang Che continued typing.

Fang Che · Human Race: But then again, we don't have the qualification to laugh at him.

Zhou Ze · Bloodhoof Tribe: Why?

Fang Che · Human Race: Because we are the same.

The channel fell silent once again.

A few seconds later, Li Ming sent a message.

Li Ming · Goblin Race: ...That's true.

Lin Feng · Treant Race: Then we should say a little less.

Zhou Ze · Bloodhoof Tribe: Right, don't let Tie Ge hear this.

On the other side.

Xu Qin closed the vassal channel.

To be honest, being called Master by a group of fellow lords,

it really felt a bit... embarrassing.

However, fortunately, there was a buffer like Tie Ge to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Xu Qin stopped thinking about these and looked toward the teleportation array.

Hum!

The teleportation array lit up with a dim green light.

One Iron-Horned Battle Rhino after another walked out from the light gate.

The War Rhinos were massive in size, reaching up to four meters tall, their entire bodies covered in thick keratin armor.

On top of their heads, two huge iron horns curved forward, the tips of the horns flashing with a cold light.

Xu Qin looked at these War Rhinos and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, the quality is very high."

Following closely behind were twelve hundred high-tier Orc infantrymen.

These Orcs stood over two and a half meters tall, with knotted muscles, wielding heavy battleaxes.

Xu Qin opened the command panel and looked at the attributes of these troop types.

[Iron-Horned Battle Rhino]

[Attack Power: 420 (Physical - Charge)]

[Defense: 180]

[HP: 3200 / 3200]

[High-Tier Orc Infantry]

[Attack Power: 280 (Physical - Slash)]

[Defense: 120]

[HP: 1800 / 1800]

Xu Qin finished reading the attributes and nodded.

"They are all Tier 3 troops, Tie Ge really went all out this time."

He opened the command panel and found Tian Ming.

"Tian Ming."

"Present, Master."

"Kill them all."

"Yes."

Tian Ming raised his scepter.

Bone Emperors Might released!

Boom!

Shadow energy erupted, instantly covering the entire area.

The War Rhinos and Orc infantry didn't even have time to react before their health bars were directly emptied.

Clang!

[Killed Iron-Horned Battle Rhino × 520!]

[Killed High-Tier Orc Infantry × 1500!]

[Talent "War Gift" triggered! Loot × 23!]

[Obtained: Iron-Horned Battle Rhino Skeleton × 11960, High-Tier Orc Infantry Skeleton × 34500!]

Xu Qin looked at the settlement panel and nodded in satisfaction.

Meanwhile.

In the low-tier plane, inside Tie Ge's territory.

Tie Ge looked at the prompt on the command panel.

[Your troops have been killed.]

His heart twitched with a pang of pain.

This was 80% of his main force after all.

But he quickly adjusted his emotions and typed in the communication window.

Tie Ge · Orc Race: Master, being able to serve you is these War Rhinos' honor.

Xu Qin saw this message and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"This guy is truly a talent."

Thus, he replied with a message.

Xu Qin · Undead Race: Um, you've worked hard.

On the other side.

Su Yao had already assembled her large army.

She opened the map marker on the command panel, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.

[Current distance to the target location: 6824 kilometers]

According to the marching speed of her lizard warriors, it would take at least fifteen days.

That is under the premise that everything goes smoothly.

She stood at the front of the formation, looking at the endless wasteland ahead, frowning in thought for a moment.

Afterwards, she opened the vassal channel and sent a message.

Su Yao · Lizard Tribe: Is anyone heading the same way as me? We can travel together, these are my coordinates.

She sent the coordinates into the channel.

In less than ten seconds, two replies popped up.

Zhou Ze · Bloodhoof Tribe: I am in your southwest direction, not far away.

Lin Feng · Treant Race: +1, I am also nearby.

Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Good thing, good thing, there are companions.

Su Yao · Lizard Tribe: Okay, then let's rendezvous at this coordinate point.

Zhou Ze · Bloodhoof Tribe: No problem, I'm heading over right now.

Lin Feng · Treant Race: I am a bit far, it will take an hour.

Two hours later.

The three of them led their large armies and assembled in a dried-up river valley.

Zhou Ze brought seventeen hundred Bloodhoof ox-soldiers, and Lin Feng brought twenty-six hundred Treant guards.

Coupled with Su Yao's four thousand three hundred Iron-Spine Lizardman warriors, the total military force of the three families was close to nine thousand.

"This should be safer." Zhou Ze looked at the army and said.

Lin Feng nodded: "If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have migrated so far."

Zhou Ze smiled upon seeing this: "If we hadn't run fast, we might not even be alive until now."

"That's true too."

But Su Yao was not as optimistic as these two.

She frowned worriedly and said: "Yongyuan City is too far from us, just the journey will take half a month. Who knows what we might encounter on the road."

Zhou Ze nodded, agreeing with Su Yao's words.

But Lin Feng was very confident: "With so many troops of ours, it should... be fine."

They didn't know that Su Yao was thinking about another matter at this moment.

Zhang Yu and those few people must hate her to death right now.

Back then in the private channel, she directly sold them out to Xu Qin.

Although she didn't regret it, these people's desire for revenge... she was still very clear about it.

That guy Zhang Yu smiled all over the surface, but in reality, he held a grudge deeply.

"Do you guys think someone will ambush us?" Su Yao suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Zhou Ze and Lin Feng instantly understood Su Yao's words.

"You mean... those lords who weren't chosen?" Zhou Ze frowned.

"Yes." Su Yao nodded.

"The matter of us defecting to Xu Qin has already spread in the Human Race channel. Someone might be jealous, or even hate us."

Lin Feng fell silent for a few seconds and nodded.

"What you said makes sense."

"A journey of fifteen days, setting an ambush just about anywhere—even if we have over ten thousand troops, we might not necessarily be able to hold out."

The atmosphere among the three suddenly became solemn.
