The Boss Behind The Game Chapter 268

Chapter 268 - We Surrender

On this day, a huge army marched forward with great vigor from the boundary of the Burial Grounds toward the Mansion of the Dead.

With the appearance of such a big army, the players were alarmed. However, after a short investigation of the army, they couldn’t help but laugh.

Soon, the news of the arrival of Yue Yao’s Army was widely spread among all the players.

Liu Chai, who had not gone offline for almost half a month, was now totally into his character. Immediately, he ordered some men to inform the Rock Ghost King and the Hydra King to implement the second step of their plan. At the same time, he also brought along some of the players to welcome the future King of Beiqi.

Liu Chai was still a rash fellow in front of Yue Yao. Although a lot of his words were inappropriate, Yue Yao felt that he was an honest person and was very satisfied with him.

Despite that, Yue Yao rejected Liu Chai’s invitation to the welcoming banquet held at the Mansion of the Dead.

Time was precious, so he needed to quickly defeat the Rock Ghost King and the Hydra King before he was able to take over the power to rule the Mansion of the Dead. Only then could he accept the blessing from the Great Emperor.

To be enthroned as the King of Beiqi was vital to him. Ultimately, after strengthening his power, he would be able to at least escape from Lie Shan’s grasp when he returned.

If he were to meet Lie Shan as a Fledgling Ghost Emperor, he would have no chance against him. Even though he had his eight brothers to support him, he might not even be alive to see them after it happened.

So, Yue Yao could no longer wait. He instructed Liu Chai at once to march toward the North Rocks. They should take over the North Rocks first, before advancing to the Ascension Zone, defeating the two largest forces in Beiqi.

Upon hearing that, Liu Chai’s expression turned jolly. He immediately agreed and started to assemble the players, preparing themselves to follow Yue Yao’s Army toward the North Rocks.

The players were very cooperative, too. After all, everyone would get a share of the resources, so they were more than happy to tag along.

The size of the army was huge this time. Along the journey from the north border of the Mansion of the Dead to the north, the army was shaped like a winding dragon.

Under the leadership of Yue Yao, his army emitted a menacing aura.

Such a movement definitely gave the Rock Ghost King a shock. When Yue Yao’s Army arrived at the North Rocks, the Tree Demon Army was already standing their ground.

Staring at the Rock Ghost King not far away, Yue Yao’s eyes shot out cold glares. In fact, the Rock Ghost King was merely a small trouble to him. The difference in power between them was very obvious. It would be as easy as pie for him to settle this.

“Rock Ghost King, you have been foolish and stubborn. Today, I will take over the North Rocks! Try and stop me if you can!”

With that, Yue Yao retrieved a trumpet from his waist and placed it on his lips.

As he was about to blow, he saw the Rock Ghost King floating in the air while approaching him.

Then, about 300 yards away, the Rock Ghost King stopped and looked at Yue Yao with a terrifying expression.

“You… are you the leader of the Land of the Nine Luminaries?”

Yue Yao’s expression turned cold before nodding his head, “I see that you’re pretty observant!”

“I have never offended you in any way… why are you here!?”

“The Player Clan at the Mansion of the Dead are my subordinates. Why don’t you tell me how you’ve offended me?”

“This… I really had no idea about this… besides, Liu Chai never mentioned that he’s your underling, otherwise, how would I dare to affront you!?” the Rock Ghost King said with much bitterness.

“Now that you already know, I will be taking over your North Rocks!” with that, Yue Yao lifted the trumpet again.

“Stop… Lord Yue Yao, we surrender. I willingly hand over the North Rocks and I plead my allegiance to you!” the Rock Ghost King spoke immediately.

Upon hearing that, Yue Yao was utterly shocked.

He originally thought that the Rock Ghost King would have sworn to fight until the death, but who knew that he would simply surrender?

“Are you really surrendering just like that?” Yue Yao asked suspiciously, still not believing what was happening.

“I know how powerful you are, Lord Yue Yao. If I were to fight with you, I will fall for sure. Why don’t I just surrender?”

Yue Yao was now a little depressed.

He never knew that his title would be so useful until now, but he had no choice but to hide his name previously since he couldn’t be exposed. It was not much of his concern anymore at the moment.

Nevertheless, he was rather pleased with the Rock Ghost King’s submission.

It was best to have conquered him without having to start a war.

“Alright, Rock Ghost King. You’re really smart to have done that, but pleading allegiance is not as easy as it sounds. You know the rules, right?” Yue Yao said with his eyes squinted as if he was waiting to strike the Rock Ghost King down with thunder if he dared to object.

“Of course. Since I’m already your underling, Lord Yue Yao, I’ve no problem obeying the Soul Oath!” the Rock Ghost King agreed happily.

Truly, the Rock Ghost King didn’t care.

This was what Tong Gua had told him. As soon as they boarded the Vibranium Pirate Ship, their souls would be bound to the artifact. In that case, the Soul Oath would not take effect no matter how many times they recited the oath. In addition, they wouldn’t be bound to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Therefore, the Rock Ghost King calmly consented to Yue Yao’s request without any hesitation.

Though he was astonished by the Rock Ghost King’s decisive response, Yue Yao still believed that he surrendered due to fear. He was very pleased indeed.

“Alright, we shall put aside the Soul Oath first. Now, lead the Tree Demon Army to the Ascension Zone and help me conquer the Ascension Zone!” Yue Yao nodded with pleasure before turning to the Rock Ghost King and giving the order.

“Right away!” the Rock Ghost King smiled and obeyed.

“Lord Yue, isn’t this too hasty? Aren’t we supposed to kill to our heart’s content and force them to surrender?” Liu Chai asked angrily.

“Since they’ve already surrendered, why should we waste our energy? Besides, the Rock Ghost King has already pleaded his allegiance to me with his Tree Demon Army. This can help grow my army, too!” Yue Yao couldn’t help glaring at the reckless Liu Chai.

“Alright. You’re the boss, whatever you say!” Liu Chai sighed and appeared to be gloomy.

Yue Yao fully understood Liu Chai’s feelings at the moment. After all, the war that had been going on for half a month had finally taken an interesting turn, but Liu Chai did not get to move a muscle because the enemies actually surrendered. Frustration was all he could feel now.

“Liu Chai, we are on the same side. Growing my army is beneficial to you, too!”

After all, Liu Chai was the first person he had gathered under his wing. Yue Yao decided to give him encouragement.

Then, Yue Yao’s Army including the Tree Demon Army marched toward the Ascension Zone.

This time, Yue Yao was fully confident.

With the military strength on his hands now, seizing the Ascension Zone was no big deal.

After many hours on the road, the massive army finally arrived at the Ascension Zone.

Without further ado, Yue Yao blew his trumpet and his army stormed toward the Demon Snake Army in the Ascension Zone.

“Lord Yue Yao, wait… I, the Hydra King, surrender and plead my allegiance to you!”

Facing Yue Yao’s Army that came in full fury, the Hydra King who was still trying to memorize his script jumped out of shock. He instantly rose into the air and flew toward Yue Yao as he shouted at the top of his lungs.

Yue Yao blew his horn as a sign of cease-fire.

“What did you say?”

“I surrender and plead my allegiance to you!” the Hydra King shouted again.

Yue Yao was completely confused this time. He had never imagined that he could overpower the two biggest threats in Beiqi without moving a single soldier.
