In the Immortal Demon small city, Xiao Mo and Mu Ya toured the newly divided territories of the city.
Now, the division of labor within the territory's city was clear. The territorial army went out hunting, ordinary goblins and dwarves served as workers, smelting iron essence and forging equipment. Ordinary elves and wooden figures were responsible for resource gathering.
With orderly divisions, the entire city operated smoothly, which Xiao Mo was very satisfied with.
After all, for a city that was about to become the capital, wasn't this a thriving beginning?
Mu Ya had been accompanying Xiao Mo like a gentle wife. During this time, she had to leave repeatedly, clearly to eliminate those audacious gophers.
By the end of the day, the lone travelers dealt with and killed by Mu Ya numbered around two hundred. A quarter of them had Spirit tier strength, which was quite formidable.
Unfortunately, the opponents these lone travelers faced were too powerful. At the hands of a Saint tier expert, Spirit tier strength barely had a chance to make a move before vanishing into nothingness.
Even among those killed, there were a few true lords. They were discovered by Mu Ya as soon as they appeared and were annihilated before they could even breathe the fresh air of the surface world.
This incident directly caused an uproar in the alliance chats, especially within the strongest alliance, the Covenant of Gods. They were furiously targeted by the Lone Traveler Alliance.
This mission had clearly used the lone travelers as cannon fodder, causing the Lone Traveler Alliance to lose two hundred of their members in a single day. For the Lone Traveler Alliance, whose strength was already inferior to other alliances, this was an absolute disaster.
The Covenant of Gods Alliance was the one that initially invited the Lone Traveler Alliance to join this operation. They lured many lone travelers from the Lone Traveler Alliance with the temptation of Immortal Demon Stones and Soul Crystals.
The Covenant of Gods Alliance then dispatched these lone travelers to infiltrate the Endless Abyss region and sabotage the watchtowers of the Immortal Demon small city.
However, by now, not only had none of the Immortal Demon small city's watchtowers been destroyed, but so many lone travelers had been killed. This was unacceptable to the Lone Traveler Alliance.
"Fuck your mother, Old Zhu! Is this what your alliance is all about? Do you not consider the members of our Lone Traveler Alliance as people! We are withdrawing from this operation!"
"Exactly! The Lone Traveler Alliance has only a little over a thousand lone travelers in total. In less than half a day, over a fifth of them were killed by the Saints under Qian Mo. If this continues, the Lone Traveler Alliance will be finished!"
"Boss Qin, Brother Dao, how can you be so sure it was the Saints under Qian Mo who killed them? What if it was just the indigenous forces of the Endless Abyss?"
"You're spouting nonsense! Not to mention the messages sent back before those people died, but in reality, do you think there are any indigenous forces within the territorial sphere of influence of the Immortal Demon small city? Do you think Qian Mo wouldn't have eliminated them?"
"Even so, what of it? When we cooperated, we agreed that no matter what happened, the cooperation would not be interrupted. Besides, our lords have also made sacrifices!"
"Heh heh... only a few low-level lords were sacrificed, and they were ones who had grudges with some of your top lords. You have the nerve to say that! If you have the guts, let two hundred of your lords go, I'll watch. Not two hundred, just one hundred is fine!"
"In short, the cooperation agreement has been signed. You can't just give up when you want to!"
"Hmph! The mission you described back then was very simple. And now? The difficulty of this mission can be described as hellish. This mission is simply impossible to complete!"
"Then what do you want? You want to give up halfway like this?"
"It's very simple! More money! Pay all the promised rewards upfront as a deposit, and then add double the amount later, otherwise, we absolutely will not take this job again!"
"Fine! I'll pay you now, and the rest will be settled after the operation is over!"
"Deal!"
"I agree too!"
(Qin Mohe, Lao Dao left the group chat!)
Seeing this message, the others in the group immediately started arguing, cursing the two leaders of the Lone Traveler Alliance.
"Damn it! He's a real leech, even daring to ask for more money!"
"Exactly! After losing two hundred lone travelers, not even one watchtower was destroyed, and they still have the nerve to be arrogant!"
"You can't say that. This operation is indeed quite dangerous, after all, they are facing the Saints under Qian Mo!"
"Regardless, we must destroy one or two watchtowers of the Immortal Demon small city now. Just opening a surveillance gap would be good!"
"Alas! We can only say that Qian Mo is too monstrous. Damn it! The surveillance range of the watchtowers covers nearly six hundred kilometers. Without opening a gap, it's basically impossible to launch a surprise attack!"
"Brothers, we need to look at things from two sides. Don't you think this is actually a good thing?"
"What do you mean? Not a single watchtower destroyed and two hundred lone travelers lost, and you call this a good thing?"
"It's just that you only look at things from one perspective! Think about it, since all the lone travelers and lords who went to destroy the watchtowers were killed, what does that mean?"
"Does it mean that Qian Mo still values the watchtowers very much? He even went so far as to directly use Saint tier experts to kill everyone who went there! This shows that Qian Mo himself doesn't have absolute confidence in this war!"
"Why are we bringing up Qian Mo's confidence? What does that have to do with anything?"
"I told you you're stupid and you don't believe it! If Qian Mo had enough confidence to defeat our army, would he care about two watchtowers?"
"His current concern for the watchtowers clearly indicates a lack of confidence. He's afraid of losing the initiative in the war! This shows that he's also worried about being defeated by our army's attack!"
"Yes!! Hearing you say that, it really makes sense! It seems Qian Mo isn't invincible either!"
"Now that you mention it, my tension has eased a lot! The pressure before was too great!"
"It's the same for everyone! Him not being invincible is only in terms of the entire alliance. For each individual top lord, Qian Mo is still unreachable!"
"Fortunately, Qian Mo hasn't formed an alliance. Jin Xuan's Immortal Demon Alliance is not even in his eyes, otherwise, even the allied army might not be able to handle him!"
"Heh heh! This Qian Mo is really too arrogant and self-willed. Does he think he can stand against so many alliances by himself?"
"Isn't his self-will precisely our key breakthrough to kill him? He's eliminating himself!"
"I have to say, his arrogance has given us a great opportunity. Let's see then if he can still be so arrogant, or if he will beg for mercy at our feet! Hahaha..."
"Hahaha... he will definitely beg for mercy! Then we will thoroughly humiliate him and shatter his arrogance and pride in one fell swoop!"
The alliance members became more and more excited as they spoke, as if they could already see themselves standing on the ruins of the Immortal Demon small city, watching Xiao Mo kneeling at their feet.
It must be said, these lords were not blindly confident; they indeed had the capital for confidence.
After all, the Covenant of Gods Alliance currently had a total of six hundred top lords, and over three hundred relatively strong advanced lords.
An alliance formed by nearly a thousand lords was enough to make any force tremble, regardless of which force they faced.
It's important to know that a thousand lords possessed tens of thousands of troops, and they were all advanced or higher-level troops. Such strength was enough to sweep through any kingdom-level force.
Furthermore, it wasn't just the Covenant of Gods Alliance that wanted to destroy Xiao Mo. Combined, all the alliances had hundreds of millions of troops, which was enough to wage war against an empire-level force.
Therefore, these alliance members were very confident, eagerly awaiting the moment they would flatten the Immortal Demon small city and kill Xiao Mo...
