The Lord's Empire (Part 2)

Chapter 702-706

Chapter 702: Retaliation

Hearing Zhou Chang's words, Li Mao felt quite delighted, but he still said, "Esteemed City Lord, of course you are good enough. I'm sure His Majesty will be pleased with such a grand figure like you joining. However, would you like to first send a few people to Great Qin to take a look? You will be able to verify whether everything I said was the truth; Great Qin has the confidence to invite anyone to take a look!"

This was to increase Zhou Chang's trust in Great Qin. Even if he sent ambassadors, Great Qin would welcome them.

Hearing Li Mao's words, he marveled at Great Qin's confidence.

In order to act as safely as possible, Zhou Chang decided to send a few of his trusted aides. There were many City Lords who decided to do the same thing.

Roughly 150 or so City Lords sent ambassadors to Great Qin. They were already interested in submitting, and if everything that Great Qin's ambassadors said was true, Great Qin would indeed be the best person to submit to. They would no longer have to worry about natural disasters, and Great Qin would be able to deal with future dangers as well.

Even though Zhao Fu had sent out 1,000 or so ambassadors, only 150 or so City Lords were willing to send their own ambassadors to take a look at Great Qin. Most people were still hesitant.

As City Lords, most of them did not want to have to submit to someone else, and the situation was not too dire yet. They were not in a hurry to make a decision, as this would determine their life or death, and there would be no room for regrets. Of course, there were many City Lords who hated players, and they were the ones who had committed the slaughters.

Tangerine City's City Lord, Liu Dacheng, was currently spending time with a few beautiful female attendants when a soldier came to report that the Great Qin Empire had sent ambassadors to visit.

Hearing this name, Liu Dacheng knew that it was an Otherworlder empire. Because they were quite far away from Great Qin, he did not know Great Qin's true strength. However, he greatly despised Otherworlders.

As such, without even thinking about it, Liu Dacheng ordered, "Kill all of them! In the future, kill any Otherworlders who come. Your elder hates seeing Otherworlders; the more we kill, the safer we'll be in the future!"

The soldier felt quite troubled and said, "City Lord, it was Sir Liu who asked me to come and invite you. He says that they're very important people, so please go and meet them!"

Liu Dacheng yelled angrily, "Who's the City Lord here? Are you going to obey him or me? Kill those people; do you think I'm afraid of the Great Qin Empire?"

The soldier's face went pale, but he heeded the order and went out to give out the order.

Five Stage 3 soldiers and a scholar were powerless against an entire system main city and were cruelly killed.

Nearby, a man in green wanted to stop this but was unable to. Looking at the six corpses, he felt that a catastrophe was about to descend.

Great Cart City's City Lord, Zhao Cheng, also received a report from a soldier that ambassadors from Great Qin had come. He knew some information about Great Qin, but he had chosen to resist Great Qin. He despised Otherworlders, and the Otherworlder Dynasties were his greatest enemies.

Zhao Cheng went to the city gates and looked at the six people. He felt quite surprised but suddenly attacked. In order to protect the scholar, a few soldiers were instantly killed.

The scholar was stained with blood, and he felt quite scared, causing his body to tremble. He knew he was going to die, but thinking about Great Qin, the books he had read, and the soldiers who had died for him, his gaze became resolute as he stood straight. He could not allow Great Qin to be shamed; even if he had to die, he would die with dignity.
