The battle had actually ended when Lang Tie surrendered.
The Langya Army had lost their determination to fight and could only counter the players’ furious attacks with exhaustion.
However, the players were still excited and they killed every single creature they captured which resulted in their soul coins and experience increasing substantially.
“Do you really want to start a war with Langya Island?” facing the players’ unending attack, Lang Tie could only threaten them in this way.
However, the players refused to listen to him.
Are you joking? A war would be great. It’d be even better if it doesn’t stop until everyone is wiped out entirely. Hence, the players attacked more brutally.
“Retreat! Retreat!” Lang Tie could only instruct his army to retreat as his threat did not work.
However, a flash of iciness flashed past the Sea King’s eyes as he snorted coldly.
The Mu Te Sea Army, which was formed of the Seven Nations Military Alliance, was standing at the both sides of the island. They marched forward and blocked their escape route.
The players grinned from ear to ear upon seeing the situation.
The Sea King was good enough to block them so the players could slaughter them to their hearts’ content.
“Sea King, what is the meaning of this!” Lang Tie snarled at the Sea King.
The Sea King only smiled coldly and did not entertain him.
He never planned on letting Lang Tie go as he dared to provoke him today.
Moreover, after some contemplation, he had a plan to start a war with Langya Island, one of the three greatest forces to show off his power. He wanted to defeat their army and incorporate them into his own army to expand his forces.
Thus, he was not afraid of Lang Tie’s threat.
The slaughter went on for a while. Lang Tie looked ferocious while his gaze swept through the players and stopped at the Sea King.
“Sea King, just you wait! I will tell my brother what you did. Just wait for the war!”
Lang Tie’s silhouette floated into the air after he finished speaking. It seemed like he wanted to flee.
The players were unhappy to see that. They were going to lose so much loot if the biggest boss escaped.
Thousands of skills were flashed out to the sky instantly in an attempt to make him stay.
A sense of brutality flashed through the Sea King’s eyes at the same time. He extended his hand and grabbed forward.
A black whirlpool appeared in front of Lang Tie in light of his terrified expression. A huge black hand appeared from the whirlpool suddenly and grabbed him.
“Ah!” Lang Tie groaned in pain as the black hand tightened its grip around him.
“Since you already said that you want to start a war, why should I spare you?” the Sea King chuckled. Then, with a sudden pinch of the black hand, Lang Tie’s eyes popped out instantly and his body was distorted.
After the black arm disappeared, Lang Tie’s body fell onto the ground like a pool of mud, without any trace of life.
“What the fuck… is he dead?”
“Oh my god. This is a terrible loss. My heart is aching!”
“Fuck, he crossed the line. That was our loot! Shit, my good feelings toward the Sea King are decreasing!”
“Sad. He was ours… ours!”
…
When they saw that Lang Tie was pinched to his death, the players stomped their feet and beat their chests while showing expressions full of grief.
The witnessing forces were again dumbfounded from this scene.
When your comrades died, not only did you guys not show any grievous expressions, you guys were even smiling. So why are you guys showing such sadness upon your enemy dying?
Furthermore, they could sense that the players’ grief was real as if it was from the bottom of their hearts and they were not faking it.
Everyone’s worldview was shaken once again. They were all stunned.
After slaughtering each and every one of the leftovers of the Langya Army, the players walked toward the Sea King angrily.
“Sea King, what is the meaning of this? Are you aware that you have gone too far? We came all the way to congratulate you on establishing a new nation but look at what you did in return! Motherfucker, I can’t believe you stole our kill! Is this what a boss should do?”
The Sea King maintained a cold face. Even though he could not understand their words, he could sense that the players were blaming him for killing Lang Tie.
“Honorable guests, please do not be angry. This is the day of establishing a new nation. Please return to the feast. The ceremony shall continue!” Sha Shui who was standing beside the Sea King wiped his own sweat and said quickly.
Sha Shui was trying to cool the situation down by giving some comforting words because similar to everyone at the scene, he thought that the players were blaming the Sea King for stopping them from attacking until they were satisfied.
From his perspective, this force was too awesome. With the idea that they might become their allied forces in the future, Sha Shui could already imagine their bright future together so he would definitely host them well.
“Brothers, it’s fine, the Sea King will definitely compensate us. Today is the day he establishes a new nation, so let’s treat Lang Tie as a present to him!”
“Fine. We only lost a Ghost General, no biggie. The Sea King will give us more Ghost Generals and Ghost Kings in the future anyway… let’s forget about this.”
“Fine, but Sea King, you have to understand that what you did was not right!”
…
After listening to Sha Shui’s words, the players contemplated for a while and decided to let this go.
After all, the Sea King was the biggest treasure mine in their eyes so they were willing to let go of other losses. The existence of the Sea King alone was equivalent to countless experience points and soul coins, which was the most important point for them anyways.
Thus, under the Sea King’s cold stare, the players walked back toward the feast leisurely while being led by Sha Shui.
They were exhausted from the battle so it was time to recover their stamina.
The way other forces looked at the players was totally different this time.
Some looked at them admirably and respectfully, but the majority of them looked at them fearfully.
It would be petrifying to be targeted by such a powerful force. Needless to think, they would only give up when they have eradicated the entire clan.
All the forces who originally wanted to cause trouble on the Nation Establishing Ceremony backed off after witnessing the battle.
They were scared to say anything wrong to the Sea King as they might get some scolding from these strange soldiers and would be forced to have a protracted battle with them.
However, aside from the forces who were scared of the players’ power and did not want to be their enemy, there were also forces who wanted to befriend them. After all, they envied the Sea King for being able to make allies with such a powerful force.
Thus, some of them approached them and sucked up to them.
Nonetheless, the players did not entertain them.
To the players, the guests were all soul coins and experience points to be harvested in the future. Other than the Sea King, who was a progressing treasure mine, the other characters had no value to them as they could be harvested completely in a short span. Hence, they treated the other forces coldly as they did not want to waste their effort and emotion on them.
The forces who intended to befriend the players were disappointed with their attitude.
However, Hei Sui, Tian Kun, Sha Shui and the rest were delighted to see such a scene.
This indicated that only the Sea King deserved to be friends with them. Moreover, the previous incident also showed that this force was loyal and willing to challenge any enemy for the sake of defending their friends.
With the assistance of such a great force, there would be no need to worry about the future of the Mu Te Sea Nation.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of Sha Shui and the others, the corners of the Sea King’s mouth twitched.
He was not an idiot. Even though he was unsure of the reason why the Beiqi Army would support him, he knew they had some hidden intention.
However, the Sea King did not plan on doing anything there since they didn’t provoke him this time.
All in all, his priority was to strengthen the military power of the Mu Te Sea Army and incorporate the surrounding forces into his army. However, he never forgot his hatred from the previous war. He was determined to defeat Beiqi.
The Nation Establishing Ceremony went well after the incident. The players enjoyed the food and drinks happily.
The players were prepared to return to Beiqi after the ceremony ended.
They gave the Sea King a determined gaze and showed a supporting gesture right before they left.
Good luck!
Looking at this scene, the corners of the Sea King’s mouth twitched again as he felt a discomfort in his heart.
He was unsure of the reason, but he really felt like strangling them all to death!
On the other hand, Sha Shui and the others accompanied them throughout the journey. After sending them onboard, Sha Shui waved goodbye to them smilingly and even told them to make frequent visits.
Looking at Xinmo Island, which was getting further away, the players’ faces were full of contentment.
This journey was not a waste as they had each earned a lot of experience points and soul coins. Also, the food served at the feast was delicious and suited their appetite.
It could be said that their bodies and hearts were both equally satisfied.
