Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A new sun rose slowly from the horizon, symbolizing hope as its radiant sunlight bathed the vibrant forest and even penetrated the desolate, gloomy abandoned town. It cast an even more dazzling light on the fiery pyres of corpses that burned fiercely.

Last night, Ji Chen didn’t dispatch troops to raid the enemy guild camp like in Three Kingdoms novels. The Crown of the Ocean’s forces excelled in maritime warfare, not on flat grasslands.

Aware that the enemy had a sizable cavalry force, he certainly wouldn’t foolishly engage head-on.

Of course, he didn’t idle away the night. He organized his people to gather and cremate the numerous bodies scattered throughout the town under the cover of darkness to prevent the spread of disease.

Diseases could inflict prolonged negative effects on the troops, which would undoubtedly be detrimental to the upcoming battle.

As the day began to break, the Wasteland Guild’s camp came alive.

Fully armed soldiers marched out of the camp’s gates, preparing for action on the high ground.

Zunong stood on the elevated terrain, his eyes bloodshot, watching the dozens of blazing pyres in the town in the distance, nearly trembling with anger.

They didn’t burn it last night, nor in the early morning today, and now they decide to burn it just when we’re about to attack!

Damn it, is this mockery?

Are they flaunting their achievements to me!?

In my hands, I’ll skin and dismantle you once I catch you!

Zunong cursed vehemently in his heart, then looked at his trusted aide. “Prepare for the assault! Today, we must capture that damned guy and take him down!”

“Yes!”

Other members also responded, their hearts burning with rage. The Wasteland Guild had never faced such humiliation before.

These burning corpses were like stones engraved with shame!

Only the enemy’s blood and victory could wash away this disgrace!

But before the battle began, Zunong sent a ten-person squad with his message, holding a flag, cautiously approaching the outskirts of the town.

Upon learning of this, Ji Chen ordered the Crown of the Ocean’s forces not to launch an attack and allowed them to approach.

Seeing the squad entering the town’s shooting range and noticing no attacks coming their way, they all breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.

The squad leader shouted loudly, “My Lord wishes to meet with Lord Ji Chen. The meeting place is on the grassy field in the middle of both sides’ defensive lines.

Each side may bring a maximum of ten unit types, with no hero units, curses, explosive units…”

The squad leader spoke rapidly, not caring whether anyone could hear him. After he finished, he saw a monstrous creature with a serpentine tail emerging from the town, speaking in human language.

“My Lord has agreed.”

Hearing this, the squad leader looked relieved and hurriedly returned with his team.

Returning to Zunong, they saluted him and reported, “Lord, they’ve agreed.”

Zunong nodded and gazed deeply at the even more dilapidated town bathed in sunlight.

He wanted to see the player responsible for burying his seventy thousand troops before completely destroying this place, to understand what kind of person they were.

With ten heavily armed infantry soldiers wielding heavy shields and spears as his guards, Zunong headed toward the agreed-upon location.

Upon reaching the middle ground between the high ground and the town, he waited for a moment. Then, he saw a slender figure appear on the originally empty, reddish-brown dirt road.

Zunong’s expression changed slightly because he saw only one person, with no soldiers guarding him.

Is this person so brave? He didn’t even bring any guards. Isn’t he afraid that they might plot against him and attack him directly?

Regardless of whether it was sheer boldness or confidence, this person unintentionally earned Zunong’s admiration, creating a sense of camaraderie.

Soon, Zunong could clearly see the face of this figure and instantly wore a disgusted expression.

Damn, was this guy really that handsome, or did he mix in some technology and cosplay?

Clearly, the appearance that had been approved by elves, who were known for their aesthetics, had also made Zunong, a fellow player, quite jealous.

The newcomer stopped about twenty meters away and initiated the conversation.”

Ji Chen.”

Zunong collected himself and responded with a stern face.

“Zunong.”

After these brief exchanges, they fell into an uncomfortable silence, creating an eerie atmosphere.

Suddenly, Zunong couldn’t hold back and blurted out, “You’ve come.”

Ji Chen almost lost his composure, looking at Zunong with a strange expression.

“I didn’t expect you to have this side.”

“Nonsense!” Zunong instantly lost his cool, his emotions running wild. His face turned red, and amid these emotional fluctuations, he blurted out, “Ji Chen, I have one question for you: surrender or not?”

Ji Chen sighed and responded to the question with an expression, “Would I surrender, just for you to claim my head for a bounty?”

Zunong suddenly realized how foolish his words had been and felt even more ashamed. He blurted out in frustration, “Just wait to be buried here by our Wasteland Guild!”

“Wait.”

Zunong furrowed his brows, turning to look at Ji Chen. “Is there anything else?”

Ji Chen smiled faintly, radiating a handsome grin that evoked envy. “I have something to say. Do you mind listening?”

Despite his confusion, Zunong nodded inadvertently, his expression impatient. “If it’s your last words, then spit it out. Don’t waste time.”

Ji Chen paid no heed to the remark and began to speak.

Several minutes later.

“Are you insane!?”

Zunong stared at Ji Chen in utter disbelief and astonishment, his eyes filled with incredulity.

Ji Chen remained unfazed and smiled..
