This was a territory ten kilometers away from the Immortal and Demon tribes.
Within the territory, the sleazy young man, though continuously cursing, felt immense relief in his heart.
He was fortunate that not only had the territory defense battle been won, but two blueprints had also dropped.
One was a blueprint for an Advanced Fence, and the other was for a Siege Ballista.
It was precisely these two blueprints that instantly boosted his confidence. He believed he could safely weather the beast tide crisis.
Humans were greedy. Although he was terrified of retaliation from the Immortal race, he still harbored thoughts about that Immortal race soldier from before.
In his opinion, with his current strength, he would surely be able to kill that seventh-tier Immortal race soldier if they met again.
If he could indeed kill him, and perhaps obtain powerful divine-grade equipment or other valuable resources.
Let alone surpassing those top-tier lords, he was confident he could even crush Qian Mo, who was known as the strongest lord.
The Immortal race soldier represented a golden opportunity for him to change his destiny, an opportunity he had missed.
However, he wasn't in a hurry.
As long as that Immortal race soldier remained in the Endless Abyss region, they were bound to meet eventually.
Moreover, once he successfully overcame the beast tide crisis and his territory's strength further improved, he could personally hunt down that Immortal race soldier.
In fact, it wasn't just him; almost all lords believed that hunting creatures like those from the Immortal and Demon races would surely yield a bountiful harvest.
After all, creatures like those from the Immortal and Demon races only existed in higher-level planes.
However, what no one anticipated was that the Immortal race soldier was not from the Immortal realm, but a troop under the command of the strongest lord, Qian Mo.
If the sleazy young man knew this, he would flee as far as possible and would never have harbored any greed.
But even if he knew now, it would be too late.
"Wuwuwu..."
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!..."
Just as the sleazy young man was about to order his troops to hunt outside, he suddenly heard the mournful sound of a horn from outside the city.
This was immediately followed by urgent alarm bells.
"Huh? Could it be that more demonic beasts are attacking my territory?"
"Is there no end to this?"
Despite his curses, the sleazy young man was secretly excited.
Now, with the construction of the [Advanced Fence] and [Siege Ballista], his territory's overall strength and defense had increased, not decreased, even if his troops suffered heavy losses.
He almost wished for more beasts to appear, hoping to drop a few more blueprints.
"All mercenaries, assemble quickly and defend the territory with me!"
The sleazy young man leaped out of the house and roared excitedly.
The mercenaries in the territory quickly gathered, totaling over thirty. Among them was one at the mid-stage of the seventh tier, and two at the peak of the sixth tier.
The rest were mostly below the peak of the fifth tier, and there were even ten mercenaries at the peak of the second tier, clearly summoned just that day.
The sleazy young man, clad in a set of high-grade equipment, charged out of the city gate with his mercenaries.
However, he saw no sign of any demonic beasts and was momentarily stunned.
The surroundings were empty; there were no enemies in sight.
"Damn it! I told you to stand guard outside, why the hell are you howling like a madman?"
"You made me get my hopes up for nothing! Where are the enemies! Not even a ghost shadow!"
The sleazy young man glared at the sentry who had sounded the alarm, wishing he could slap him to death.
"Lord, our enemies are in the sky!"
Hearing the sleazy young man's scolding, a ripple appeared in the sentry's eyes. He casually raised his hand and pointed to the sky not far away.
The sleazy young man followed the direction of his finger and, the next moment, his face turned instantly pale.
His expression froze for an instant, then slowly contorted, finally settling into utter terror.
"How is this possible!"
The sleazy young man's lips trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief.
In the sky not far away, there were more than a dozen Immortals clad in golden armor and robes.
Not only that, but there were also more than a dozen Demons clad in black armor and robes, their bodies shrouded in demonic mist.
Weren't these the same Immortals and Demons he had seen at the entrance of the Dwarf tribe that day?
Looking at the man and two women leading the group, the pressure they naturally exuded clearly indicated one at the peak of the ninth tier and two at the tenth tier.
Most of those following were at least seventh-tier strength.
This group of over thirty Immortals and Demons was rapidly approaching them.
"What on earth is going on? Why are they targeting my territory?"
"Could it really be revenge for what happened that day? But what does the Demon race have to do with this!"
The sleazy young man was utterly confused, completely unable to understand the situation.
When had he offended the Demon race as well?
Then, a thought flashed through his mind.
Had the Endless Abyss region been occupied and ruled by the Immortal and Demon races?
But this explanation didn't quite add up.
Because, so far, among the numerous lords in the Endless Abyss region, he seemed to be the only one who had encountered these Immortals and Demons.
Therefore, there could only be one explanation.
This was indeed revenge from that Immortal race soldier he had offended that day.
Upon realizing this, the sleazy young man felt his legs go weak, and a bitter smile crept onto his face.
Just a moment ago, he was plotting how to find that Immortal-Demon soldier, and now retribution had arrived.
Furthermore, they were actually showing him such respect, coming with such a powerful force all at once.
What was the point of fighting?
How could he possibly fight!
The [Advanced Fence] was useless against flying Immortals and Demons.
The [Siege Ballista] only had seven or eight units, how could they possibly threaten such a formidable combined force of Immortals and Demons?
The sleazy young man was quite straightforward. Knowing he was outmatched, he immediately gave up resistance.
"Respected envoys of the Immortal and Demon realms, your servant salutes you!"
The sleazy young man threw down his weapon and knelt without hesitation, shouting shamelessly.
"Vile and shameless rebel, you are not worthy of kneeling before us!"
"Our master would not have a servant like you!"
"Your hearts are filthy and greedy; you all need the purification of the Immortal race's holy flame!"
Xian Kuang, the Immortal race general at the peak of the ninth tier, truly lived up to the name Xiao Mo had given him. His tone was incomparably arrogant.
As his voice fell, a golden spear appeared in his hand, and the tip was rapidly thrust out twice.
In the next instant, two streams of golden flames instantly landed on two siege ballistas on the city wall.
The mercenaries guarding the ballistas were instantly vaporized by the golden flames, leaving no trace behind.
Cold sweat instantly beaded on the sleazy young man's forehead.
He wanted to kowtow and beg for mercy, but the system notification that appeared before him froze him in place.
[Emergency! Your territory is under attack by enemy lord forces. Please respond accordingly!]
The sleazy young man stared blankly. This message filled him with dread.
Under attack by enemy lord forces!
This meant that these Immortals and Demons attacking his territory were all troops under the command of other lords!
What level of troops were these!
