Chapter 369 - Can be Killed But Not Humiliated?

On top of the city wall of Zhang Honghu’s territory, Zhang Honghu was watching Ren Qi’s movements. When he saw Ren Qi heading towards the border of an invading Lord’s territory, his eyes flickered slightly.

“This guy seems to know the best place to attack.”Zhang Honghu’s eyes revealed a hint of difficulty.

The other party’s attack was indeed able to reduce the losses to the greatest extent.

After all, the number of troops that he had left behind to invade the Lord’s territory was not many. Although he could send troops to suppress the attack.., however, the invaded Lord’s territory that was being attacked might not be able to effectively suppress the other party.

However, this was already the best method that he could think of. Right now, he could only act according to his previous decision and see if he could reduce the number of troops of the other party to the greatest extent.

Ren Qi brought a large number of troops and quickly arrived at the western side of the invading Lord’s territory.

Without hesitation, Ren Qi directly ordered the surrounding troops to launch an attack. A large number of attacks instantly poured out towards the territory in front of them.

The troops that had invaded the lord’s territory also began to quickly counterattack. At the same time, an energy defensive light barrier rose, enveloping the entire invading lord’s territory.

Following that, the city gates of Zhang Honghu’s territory opened, and a large number of troops began to surge out from within. They quickly attacked Ren Qi’s troops.

They relied on the invaded Lord’s territory to withstand the attacks, and then Zhang Honghu and the others would attack and suppress them.

This was the method that Zhang Honghu had thought of!

Although this method wasn’t the best, it was the best choice that could be made at the moment.

Ren Qi naturally understood this point. Therefore, he didn’t choose to use all his strength to attack the invading Lord’s territory. Instead, he let a portion of his troops attack the invading Lord’s territory.

The majority of the remaining troops aimed at the troops that surged out from Zhang Honghu’s territory.

This was an opportunity for Zhang Honghu to form a pincer attack on Ren Qi’s troops.

However, it was also an opportunity for Ren Qi. After all, after Zhang Honghu’s troops came out, they had lost the protection of their territory and were directly exposed in front of Ren Qi and the others.

As long as they could withstand the attacks from the territory behind them, Zhang Honghu’s so-called pincer attack would seem a little ridiculous.

On top of Zhang Honghu’s city wall, when the invading lords saw Ren Qi’s actions, their expressions suddenly changed.

“Boss Zhang, the other party isn’t being surrounded by us as you imagined. The other party has no intention of attacking that invading suzerain’s territory.”

“That’s right. Why don’t we withdraw our troops first? I feel that we don’t have any advantage over them if that’s the case.”

“I also feel that we should take a long-term plan.”

Zhang Honghu’s expression immediately turned cold when he heard the surrounding invading suzerains’words.

“What are you all thinking about? We have already sent out our troops. How can we withdraw at this moment?”

“Now that we have our domain troops holding us back, if we withdraw at this moment, the pressure that the other party will face after uprooting our domain will be even less.”

“Moreover, if the other party continues to carry on like this, are we going to just wait for the other party to uproot our domain one by one? Don’t be ridiculous.”

“Even if we have to face the powerful offensive pressure from the other party’s troops now, we can not retreat. Taking advantage of the fact that we have that territory to help us share the pressure, it might not be a bad opportunity to clash head-on with the other party now.”

Hearing Zhang Honghu’s words, the surrounding invading lords nodded with ugly expressions.

Although they did not want to admit it, the current situation was indeed like this.

However, they had already seen the strength of the enemy’s troops. If they were to directly clash head-on, they would probably suffer heavy losses.

Ren Qi looked at the troops charging at them and raised his eyebrows.

He did not expect that the enemy would still make up their mind to charge over after he had made such a response.

If the enemy chose to retreat at this moment, he could directly attack the invading Lord’s territory with all his strength and easily take it down.

This was in line with Ren Qi’s expectations. After all, it could greatly reduce the losses of his troops.

However, it was the same for the other party to charge over like this. It was just that the losses of his troops would be a little more.

Holding the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand, Elise took the lead and charged over.

The surrounding six new lords did not hesitate at all and directly let their troops charge forward.

They knew very well that Ren Qi and Xu Xinghe’s troops had played a huge role in this battle. At this moment, they needed their troops to lead the charge.

After all, this was their business. Ren Qi and Xu Xinghe could only be considered reinforcements. They couldn’t let the other side lose too much of their troops.

Moreover, due to Ren Qi and Xu Xinghe’s previous performance, the pressure they faced had been greatly reduced.

As a large number of troops charged forward, the two sides quickly came into contact and began a large-scale slaughter.

Elise charged into the midst of the invading Lord troops and directly cut open the slaughter.

Basically, no invading lord troops were able to survive the next round in Elise’s hands.

The Succubus Legion was at the back while Elise charged alone at the front, directly tearing a hole in the enemy troops.

The invading main forces that were sent out were mostly troops that were originally stationed in the territory and were not affected by the power of the plague.

After all, Zhang Honghu knew clearly in his heart that this contact could basically determine the direction of both sides in the future. He had to use all his strength!

The battle in the sky was also cut open. The Black Dragon, Black Flood Dragon, and the six flying forces that were lords in their hearts quickly engaged in a chaotic battle with the enemy’s flying forces. A large number of flying forces fell from the sky, with a twitch, they died.

This was a fierce chaotic battle. Zhang Honghu kept sending out troops from afar, as if he wanted to fight Ren Qi to the death.

Under the impact of the enemy’s large number of troops, Ren Qi’s troops began to retreat.

After all, the enemy’s number of troops far exceeded theirs.

However, retreating did not mean that they lost!

On the contrary, the number of casualties on both sides was not proportional to each other. The number of deaths of these invading lords was much higher than Ren Qi’s troops.

Many of the differences were caused by Ren Qi’s high-level succubus.

After all, in front of Elise and xirui, the Type 9 invading lords were no match for them.

On the walls of Zhang Hong Hu’s territory, the expressions of all the invading lords turned ugly.

After all, the soldiers that died were their blood and sweat!

If not for the fact that Zhang Hong Hu’s troops were mixed in, and the number of deaths was not lower than theirs, they might have been thrown into chaos.

However, even so, their expressions were not good, as they looked at Zhang Hong Hu, their eyes filled with hatred.

These invading lords knew that they were not strong enough, but they blamed Zhang Honghu for their failure.

Who asked him to command the troops?

Although their command would not be better than Zhang Honghu’s, it did not affect their dissatisfaction with Zhang Honghu.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Honghu’s expression became even uglier.

He was naturally aware of the thoughts of the invading suzerains. However, other than this method, there seemed to be no other way.

A large number of troops had been depleted. There were the invading suzerains, as well as the troops of Ren Qi and the others.

The battlefield ahead seemed to have turned into a meat grinder, grinding all the troops that had entered it into pieces.

The direction of this meat grinder began to move towards Ren Qi and the others, and quickly turned towards Zhang Honghu’s territory.

This meant that Zhang Honghu’s troops were beginning to be defeated!

Looking at the situation on the battlefield ahead, the few invading lords beside Zhang Honghu immediately collapsed.

“It’s over! It’s over!”

“All of our troops combined are actually unable to stop the enemy, what should we do!”

“That’s right, we are completely no match for the enemy. Those high-level troops can kill 100 of our troops, or even more!”

“Most importantly, our troops are unable to deal any effective damage to their high-level troops. The enemy troops even have healing troops, causing their losses to be reduced to a very low level!”

The expressions of all the invading lords turned extremely ugly. They had never encountered such a miserable situation before.

The one that left the deepest impression on them was the Succubus Legion.

The normal Lord troops were all single, and their abilities were also single.

However, the enemy’s troops had outstanding close combat abilities, strong long-range attacks, and healers. They simply didn’t have any weaknesses.

The key was that the enemy’s troops were quite high-leveled!

How the F * ck was this supposed to be played?

The six new lords would be completely suppressed and defeated by them. However, the key lay in the two new lords that came to support them.

They couldn’t win!

They couldn’t win at all!

However, even after seeing this scene, Zhang Honghu and the others had no way to change it.

They could only watch helplessly.

Powerless!

Zhang Honghu felt a sense of powerlessness that he had never experienced since he was born!

“If you want to live, then surrender. There shouldn’t be any hope of victory for us. Even our territory can no longer be preserved.”Zhang Honghu looked at the troops that were continuously being killed in front of him, the corners of his mouth revealed a bitter smile.

Although there was still a portion of their troops, it couldn’t change the outcome.

Perhaps the troops would be able to defend their territory for a longer period of time, but Zhang Honghu wouldn’t regret his decision.

After all, that would only be able to prolong their lives.

When the surrounding invading lords heard Zhang Honghu’s words, their expressions became even uglier.

Surrender?

To these invading suzerains, this was a humiliation that they had never experienced before.

Moreover, they were also somewhat hesitant in their hearts.

Surrender.

Could they really save their own lives?

At this moment, one of the invading suzerains looked at Zhang Hong Hu and said, “Zhang Hong Hu, What About You?”

Since they were already on the brink of death, the other party no longer called Zhang Hong Hu boss Zhang.

Zhang Hong Hu did not care about the other party’s change of address. He looked at the battlefield below and said with a determined gaze, “Although I can’t defeat the other party, I will definitely not surrender. I will fight to the death!”

When the surrounding invading lords heard Zhang Hong Hu’s words, their expressions were all different.

Two of the invading lords immediately expressed, “Alright! We will follow boss Zhang. Even if we die, we can not lose our dignity!”

The other four invading lords looked at each other and said, “We choose to live.”

Then, the four invading lords left Zhang Honghu’s territory and rushed toward Ren Qi’s position, wanting to surrender.

However, perhaps they didn’t see the four lords surrender, but soon after they charged into the battlefield, they were killed by Ren Qi’s troops.

After all, everyone knew the principle of capturing the leader first. When the six new lords saw that the other party’s invading lords still dared to charge out, they naturally excitedly sent their own troops to kill them.

As for the other party’s surrender gesture?

They did not see it!

They definitely did not see it.

What kind of joke was this?

The other party’s territory was around their own territory. If they did not destroy the other party, they would forever be a threat to their own territory.

At this moment, they could not be merciful.

On the city wall, Zhang Honghu and the others saw the four invading lords die in the chaotic battlefield in front of them. Their expressions changed several times.

Very soon, the invading lord troops below were completely defeated. The soldiers that had lost their lords began to flee quickly. The remaining troops were unable to stop Ren Qi and the others.

Ren Qi and the others quickly pushed the troops below the city walls of Zhang Honghu’s territory.

Looking at Zhang Honghu and the others on top of the city walls, Ren Qi, who was wearing silver leaf wind dragon armor, looked up into the sky.

“If you surrender and hand over your troops, I can spare your lives,”Ren Qi said as he looked at Zhang Honghu and the other two.

Although the other party did not have many troops left, Ren Qi was still happy to see them reduce their losses.

Hearing Ren Qi’s words, Zhang Honghu snorted coldly and said, “Surrender? I have my pride. I would rather die in battle than surrender!”

Looking at Zhang Honghu’s unyielding expression, Ren Qi directly laughed.

Moreover, he was laughing so loudly that he was about to cry.

Zhang Honghu looked at Ren Qi’s expression and asked with an ugly expression, “What are you laughing at?”

This was simply insulting him.

Ren Qi looked at Zhang Honghu and could not hold back his laughter, he pointed at Zhang Honghu and said, “I am laughing at you. A fellow who does not have any self-awareness and a dog. Yet, you are still acting so righteous here. Isn’t that laughable?”

“You! A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. I lost today, but if you’re a man, don’t humiliate me!”Zhang Honghu looked at Ren Qi and said angrily.

Ren Qi’s face turned cold. “A scholar can be killed but not humiliated? What? Did I say something wrong?”

“You would rather be the lackeys of the demigod and the Protoss, and treat another fellow from the outside as a so-called resource acquisition. Isn’t it just to be a dog and win your master’s favor?”

“What? I can’t say anything about what you’ve done?”
