Chapter 286: Why not grab it?
Chapter 286: Why not grab it?
At this time, the third and fourth city lords had already returned to the main station in the teleportation array.
Several elders who were waiting for the battle situation gathered around.
But before they could speak, the two city lords shouted angrily: "Get out of here!"
The elders immediately got out of the way.
After the two city lords left, they looked at each other, and one of them spoke with difficulty: "It seems...that the battle is not going well?"
City Lord Morton didnt come back, and City Lord Mike and City Lord Billy were so irritable, could it be that they were...defeated?
Three invincible warriors from the God King Realm attacked at the same time, how could they be defeated?
And in such a short period of time.
However, other than that, there seems to be no other explanation.
Several elders fell silent one after another.
After the two city lords entered the main station, they went to a certain palace and sat cross-legged, entered the consciousness space, and began to try to call the first city lord Sean and the second city lord Ed.
But even though they kept calling, they never received any response.
This made their faces darker and darker.
Even though they only fought with the powerful man who claimed to be a **** for less than a minute, they no longer had the confidence to compete with the opponent.
But now, the two strongest senior brothers have not shown up, leaving them with no countermeasures in mind.
The conscious space does not respond, there are only three possibilities.
Either it is too far away to be sensed.
Either is dead.
Either he is busy in retreat and has no time to respond.
If it is the last one, the two senior brothers may still respond to their call afterwards.
But if it is the first two, they can only accept their fate and let Jiang Heng run rampant in Castlevania.
They woke up all the elders in the consciousness space and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, that invader is a god, and his strength is far greater than that of our city lords. At present, the city lord Morton has probably been defeated."
We can only wait for the return of City Lord Sean and City Lord Ed before we can join forces to fight against the invaders.
How should we face this powerful man from the Gods at this stage? Lets share your opinions.
More than twenty elders fell into silence at the same time. They were horrified and began to think.
From the simple expressions of the two city lords, they could naturally imagine the battle scene at that time.
Three city lords from the God King Realm rushed forward, but they were unable to resist in front of the strong man from the God Clan. One was defeated and the other two escaped.
Even lost the courage to fight against it.
Only when the other two city lords come back can they dare to join forces to fight against each other.
The implication behind the words is that they already feel inferior.
The purpose of notifying them to come over for discussion now is just to make them, the elders, say soft words and then hide away with peace of mind.
One of the elders hesitated and said: "Two city lords, since the enemy is so strong, we might as well retreat for the time being. After all, life is the first priority."
Compared to our eternal life, nothing external is of any importance.
The third city lord Mike nodded: "That makes sense."
Another elder said: "The powerful man from the God Clan deliberately asked people to report his information and waited for us to take action. He was obviously prepared. If he has any subsequent requirements..."
For example, if he goes around killing and destroying people, or plundering wealth wantonly, do we have to obey him?
Other elders turned their eyes to the two city lords, waiting for their instructions.
The Fourth City Lord Billy frowned and shouted softly: "I asked you to put forward your own suggestions, what? You don't even think about it?"
Another elder quickly said: "I think that since we have decided to retreat, we can only try our best to meet the other party's requirements. Otherwise, the other party will kill them. Should we resist or not?"
So, no matter how aggressive the other party is, we can only do as required, otherwise we might as well fight him to the end.
The only problem is if the public coffers dont have enough money
In the intelligence, the protoss invader asked for five million spirit stones at the beginning. Who knows if he will ask for more next?
In case the other party really asks for an astronomical figure, how should the gap in the organization's public treasury be filled? Filled by whom?
This is their biggest concern.
The third city lord, Mike, said in a deep voice: "We are only temporarily stabilizing the intruder. When the two senior brothers come back, we will naturally kill them. Even if he plunders the wealth, it is impossible to use it all at once. We will be able to get it back by then." , why do you have so many worries?"
He looked around, his sharp eyes sweeping over the statues of each elder.
Since you think you should retreat temporarily, lets give in at this stage and try our best to meet the other partys requirements.
In case there is a situation like you mentioned and the public treasury is not enough, it will be shared among the twenty-two elders of you. After killing the intruder, it will be returned to you in proportion.
The fourth city lord Billy on the side also said: "You don't have to worry too much. The speed at which a person consumes spiritual stones for practice is limited, and judging from his character, he doesn't seem to spend money to buy things."
So, he shouldnt need too many spiritual stones.
The twenty-two elders looked at each other and seemed to be communicating with their eyes.
Then lets dismiss the meeting first! You can comfort him and call us when the two senior brothers come back.
After saying that, the two city lords left the consciousness space.
The elders continued to be silent for a while, and then someone sighed: "I just hope that birdman doesn't really open his mouth like a lion!"
"Haha! I never thought that one day someone would be able to ride on the head of Castlevania, and we have to endure it and enshrine him."
"Then let Barton continue to comfort him first! I would like to see what this birdman wants to do?"
Some people sneered, some were angry, but no one dared to raise objections.
It didnt take long.
After receiving the order from his superior, Barton once again arrived tremblingly outside Jiang Heng's manor, forcing a smile on his face.
Your Majesty is invincible. The two city lords of Castlevania admire me very much and ordered me to entertain you well. I wonder if you have any instructions?
Jiang Heng's body flashed and appeared in front of him, looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "You two city lords just surrendered like this?"
Your Majesty is invincible, so naturally no one will be dissatisfied.
Barton bowed and smiled flatteringly.
"In this case, prepare 100 million spiritual stones for me first. I need to practice in seclusion."
Jiang Heng said calmly.
Barton couldn't help but take a breath.
Such an exaggerated amount of wealth, even a nine-star **** like him, would be shocked just hearing about it.
He quickly bowed again and said: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will go and report it right away!"
After saying that, he turned around and flew in the direction of the station.
"What?!"
One hundred million spiritual stones?!
This **** birdman, why didnt he grab it?!
A certain elder could not help but curse.
Another elder said quietly: "He is robbing now."
The elder paused for a moment.
