Chapter 2468: A Cloud-Piercing Arrow Brings Forth an Encounter With a Thousand Soldiers!
“Ocean races’ king?” Zu An laughed. That would have been a decent offer for most people, but there was no reason for him to be interested in becoming a mere Ocean races’ king. After all, he was the king of the world!
He smiled at the Incestuous King and retorted, “Why don’t you defect to my side instead? I’ll help you become the Monster Lord. You must be dissatisfied, having to lower your head to the Monster Lord.”
Mojard was startled. He hadn’t expected Zu An to return those words to him, and in truth those words struck a chord in his heart. In recent years, their master had been showing favoritism to the Monster Lord. When their master went into closed-door training, the Monster Lord had started purging those opposed to him and planted his aides in important positions.
In truth, Mojard had come to the Ocean races to avoid the Monster Lord. He was hoping to bring the Ocean races under his control so he could compete with the Monster Lord in the future. He had never voiced such thoughts aloud, so no one should have known about his intention. How had this man learned about it?
There was no way Mojard would admit to it in front of so many people, especially since the Monster Lord was currently at the peak of his influence, so he sneered, “Since you refuse to listen to reason, you shouldn’t blame me for not showing mercy.”
With a wave of his hand, countless monsters rushed in and encircled Zu An and the others. They pushed in large artifact cannons that clearly boasted tremendous firepower at a glance. These cannons seemed designed to be used on huge armies, and it seemed like massive overkill deploying them for a mere ten people. This showed how much of a threat the monsters viewed Zu An as.
Knowing he had the advantage here, Mojard smiled. “You’re indeed powerful, but there’s only so much you can do alone. Against an army, your only fate is to die.”
He had been secretly using the Aurora Poison Dragon to drive a wedge between the Ocean races and the Fiend races while discreetly deploying his core army here to support him. He hadn’t gone all out in his previous clash with Zu An, but he was still wary of the latter, which was why he'd made thorough preparations this time.
The tight encirclement of the monster army caused the Mermaid Queen and the Peacock Princess to tense up. With most of the Ocean races’ experts bedridden, there was very little they could do against such a huge army. As members of their respective races’ upper echelons, they understood the cruelty of war. No matter how strong an individual was, soldiers could use all kinds of formations to neutralize their attacks. An individual couldn't hope to defy an entire army.
