Chapter 411
Ines was speechless, because the Potato Bomb was sculpted by W in the shape of her head.
To be honest, he's incredibly ugly.
But we have more important business to attend to right now, we'll deal with her after we're done. As soon as Ines opened the basement door, W threw two Potato Bomb into it.
Protected by Jade Shield, they didn't even need to close the doors. Once the Potato Bomb detonated, they immediately attacked the Sarkaz Sorcerer lurking in the basement.
"W, wait."
Ines reacted quickly, forcefully pulling W back after he had taken two steps, leaving the latter speechless.
"You have a **, why are you pulling me?"
Ines didn't respond directly, but instead slightly raised her chin, gesturing for her to look at the innermost part.
W followed the trail and spotted the long-lost figure through the gaps in the Great Herd Sarkaz Sorcerer.
Heredrey?
W's eyes lit up, and he grinned, revealing a happy smile.
She ignored the attacks launched by the Sarkaz Sorcerer and waved to them with a swagger:
"Hey, Heredrey, how are you?"
Heredrey stared at the two appearing at the same time, a fleeting, complex look flashing in his eyes.
When the three parted ways, Ines planned to go to Liyue City, while W went to Rhodes Island.
Logically speaking, this pair of bickering lovers should have separated, but unexpectedly, they appeared together in front of each other today.
Could it be that Ines was so disappointed with Liyue City that she had no choice but to join Rhodes Island?
"Stop it! All of you, stop it right now!"
Xi controlled numerous Ink Specter to block the exit, their eyes fixed menacingly on the Sarkaz Sorcerer were on high alert.
Seeing that Heredrey was wearing a black eye patch, W guessed that his eyes might be injured and couldn't resist making a sarcastic remark:
"Hahaha, Heredrey. You look quite pathetic. You lost an eye serving the Regent, and you're only put in charge of two hundred men?"
Ines and I commanded five or six hundred men, more than twice your number. Out of consideration for our past comrades, surrendering now will spare your life."
Heredrey snorted coldly, staring at the foul-mouthed little girl he'd watched grow up, and retorted with the same words:
"Don't dream. Do you think we only have one ambush squad? More reinforcements will arrive soon, and then you won't be able to escape even if you want to. For the sake of our past comrades, surrender now and we might spare your life."
"Haha, you mean the factory next door? We've taken care of everyone inside."
Although W had never fought Shi Lei, he knew just how ridiculously powerful the City Lord was.
Their Commander, Broca, is considered the strongest fighter in the Qianyan Army. Moreover, he possesses the bloodline of Pureblood Wendigo, granting him astonishing burst damage. W challenged him several times, but all attempts ended in failure.
But this peerless expert willingly submitted to the City Lord.
He said that in the battles that Shi Lei was seriously involved in, people like himself didn't even have the right to participate. They could only harass from the edge of the battlefield, with negligible effect.
W, of course, didn't believe it, thinking it was too exaggerated.
However, he believed that Shi Lei's strength was indeed greater Broca's. Therefore, no matter how many people were in the factory on the west side, none would escape.
Upon hearing this, Heredrey raised his hand and touched his nose:
"Keep making things up, I'm not surrendering. Even if I'm blown up, stabbed to death, or strangled to death, I will never surrender!"
Ines and W had known him for many years and knew that Heredrey had a habit of touching his nose when he lied. Seeing him do this, they immediately understood.
Heredrey's current situation is extremely dangerous. If he surrenders on the spot, he will be ganged up on and riddled with bullets by the other Sarkaz Sorcerer. Therefore, the most urgent task is to deal with them first, and everything else can be dealt with later.
W laughed loudly as he pulled out Potato Bomb. After pulling back the pin, he threw it forward with all his might.
These Sarkaz Sorcerer were quite skilled; upon seeing this, they immediately erected Magic Shield to defend themselves.
As the Ink Specter Army launched relentless attacks, the warlock's defensive line quickly crumbled. This continued until the shield shattered and was engulfed by the numerous Ink Specter.
Abandoned Distillery, East Gate.
Following her assigned area, Mudrock walked directly from inside the factory to the East Gate. The Sarkaz Soldier stationed there quickly spotted her.
A stunningly beautiful woman with white hair entered the field of vision; any normal person would find it hard to resist. Especially since the Vision was positioned right in the ravine, its glimpse only hinting at something more, sparking the imagination.
Unfortunately, none of these Sarkaz Soldiers were love-struck or simps. Upon seeing a beautiful, unfamiliar woman emerge from the alcohol refinery, they immediately began questioning her:
"Halt! Who are you?"
"Don't move, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Mudrock did not respond, silently waiting for fifty Sarkaz Soldier to surround her. As she raised her right hand, a glowing Rock Sword appeared out of thin air in her hand.
The Sarkaz Soldier were terrified at the sight and quickly directed their colleagues to pull the triggers of their Mechanical Crossbow:
"It's the enemy! Shoot her!"
"Be careful not to get hurt, and take cover!"
Countless crossbow bolts flew in, striking the brown Mudrock shield with a series of rapid, clattering sounds.
However, these physical methods couldn't even break through her first layer of shield, let alone the shield that refreshes every four seconds.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Mudrock immediately unleashed the power of the Vision. The Rock Sword in his hand seemed to have been injected with Viagra.
After two or three breaths, it grew to more than twenty meters in length, which was longer than when it first awakened.
For Lord Shi Lei!
Mudrock roared inwardly, his greatsword like the scythe of Grim Reaper, instantly reaping lives.
Even the Sarkaz Soldier reacted quickly enough to crouch and dodge the first blow would still be grazed by the second, third, and fourth slashes and be instantly killed.
In less than five seconds, the fifty Sarkaz Soldier who had formed a circle all fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
The Vision's ability quickly compensated for the Mudrock's slow speed and weakness against groups, effortlessly wiping out all the guards at the East Gate.
Just as she was checking for any survivors, a ghostly voice suddenly appeared at the scene.
Sensing danger, Mudrock immediately activated a shield that refreshed every four seconds. Looking ahead, she saw an Old Man with a peculiar appearance.
The other person emanated a bloody stench and an indescribable putrid smell. This disgusted Mudrock, who raised his right hand to cover his nose.
"Hehehe, I really didn't expect to find a branch of the Child of Earth and Stone in Londinium."
Anyone who can immediately discern the royal court's bloodline is naturally connected to the Sarkaz's 'Ten Royal Courts'. This Old Man, several thousand years old, is none other than the King of Scavengers, Royal Court Member who was frightened Broca.
After leaving the This Ship, he entered the Londinium City. Sensing that there was plenty of fresh blood to be had here, he followed the trail.
Mudrock stared warily at the other person and asked:
"Who are you?"
"Who I am is unimportant. What is important is that His Highness is currently summoning members of the Ten Royal Courts to Londinium to discuss the crucial matter of the Sarkaz's future. Young man, what caused your conflict with these garrisons? If you are willing to submit to His Highness, our King will forgive your past transgressions and show you leniency."
Seeing that the Old Man wanted to persuade her to surrender, she firmly refused:
"Sorry, I already have an owner."

P. S.: One more chapter to go. I'm out of drafts. I'll post it after I finish writing, probably after 2 AM. Happy National Day to all my readers in advance!
Chapter 489 Hero Saves the Beauty (Happy National Day)
Heidi was sitting in her room with her eyes closed, resting, when she suddenly heard something. She quickly stood up and called out to her fellow inmates:
"Benny, hey Benny!"
"What's wrong?"
"Did you hear an explosion? It's nearby, and it sounds like there's fighting outside."
Benny was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly moved closer to the barrier to listen, but he heard nothing:
No, you must have misheard.
"Look, the guards are gone, aren't they?"
"Is it possible that they went for their lunch break? Heidi, I know you really want to inform the comrades in the Self-Rescue Army, but you can't be so sensitive."
Heidi still couldn't believe she'd heard correctly, and took off the ribbon she used to tie her hair. A wire was wrapped around it to secure it; she could straighten it to use as a lock.
The corridor was eerily quiet; not a sound could be heard. Heidi had a premonition that the Self-Rescue Army was outside the factory.
Seeing her prying at the keyhole with a wire, Benny volunteered to keep watch. Every crisp sound of the wire moving through the keyhole made their hearts race.
"Click!"
It's done!
Heidi tiptoed out of the room.
Seeing her holding a wire and preparing to unlock his door, Benny quickly refused:
"No, Heidi, you go first. Unlocking the lock for me will take too much time and might cause us to miss our best chance to escape. If you're unsure about the situation outside, leave the wire to me. Maybe next time it won't be you saving me, but me saving you."
Heidi thought for a moment and handed the wire to Benny.
She walked down the corridor with her hair disheveled, pausing for a moment in front of the blood-stained wooden frame.
There were no people hanging on the rack; the last Self-Rescue Army soldier to hang there had probably already sacrificed his life.
There was no time to mourn here; Heidi mustered all her strength and tried to escape.
The situation at the makeshift prison was pretty much as she had estimated. Heidi didn't find any trace of the Sarkaz Soldier the entire time; it was as if they had vanished into thin air.
Um?
Heidi stopped abruptly as she approached the exit. She suddenly smelled an unusually strong stench of blood ahead.
Even after being rejected, the King of Scavengers did not give up, his blood-red eyes continuing to scrutinize the Mudrock.
The Ten Royal Courts are called the Ten Royal Courts because in the ancient times when Sarkaz was still called Tiracaz, the ten strongest tribes were selected to form the Royal Court Army.
Time has passed, and the lineage of the 'Child of Earth and Stone' has basically become extinct. Now, we have finally encountered a bloodline from a side branch, and it seems to be quite powerful. As long as they can receive guidance and training, they will surely be able to revive the glory of the Child of Earth and Stone in the future.
Therefore, even though Mudrock explicitly refused, the King of Scavengers still wanted to try. He adjusted his conversation strategy in time to avoid provoking an emotional backlash from the other party:
"Alright, since you don't mean it that way, I won't force you. Now come with me to see our king. He will guide and bless you, granting you power far exceeding your current strength."
Since becoming Shi Lei's kin, Mudrock has broken through his previous limitations. Through years of training, his strength has steadily and continuously increased.
Later, he gained the power of the Vision, which made up for two weaknesses in his combat. Now, Mudrock's strength has increased by leaps and bounds compared to a few years ago. He has no interest whatsoever in the increasingly powerful Pancake.
"I'm sorry, we're complete strangers, and I have no obligation to go with you to meet other people. Besides, you still haven't answered me: are you with these Sarkaz?"
"No, how could I be with these lowly thugs? It's just..."
Before he could finish speaking, Texas, Xi, Ines, and W walked over wearing masks. Heredrey only wore a black eye patch, not the Rock Mask.
It turned out that they didn't see Mudrock when they gathered, so they followed their assigned areas to find the East Gate.
The King of Scavengers glanced at the scene with a sinister look. He immediately determined that the three Sarkaz were likely mercenaries from Kazdel.
It's not surprising that they're on good terms with the Lupos. What surprised the King of Scavengers was that there was a dragon woman in the group wearing Qipao.
The dragons on this land are divided into two types: Western Dragon and Eastern Dragon. Western Dragon are Vouivre and Dolak, while Eastern Dragon are only of the 'dragon' race.
Both types are extremely rare in the world. The number of Eastern Dragon is even lower than that of Western Dragon.
The appearance of an Eastern Dragon in a team composed of Sarkaz is truly a strange combination.
"It seems that a polite invitation won't work."
No sooner had he finished speaking King of Scavengers suddenly attacked, rushing towards the group at incredible speed.
Instead of daring to touch Xi, who might have a powerful background, he pressed his weapon against Texas's throat.
"A branch of the Child of Earth and Stone, I am very interested in you. As long as you go to see our king now, I promise not to harm your friend."
The King of Scavengers was unwilling to let Mudrock go, but he wouldn't accept the invitation. When persuasion failed, he resorted to force.
They had assumed the other party would compromise, or at least join forces to force him to give up. Unexpectedly, the other party showed no intention of helping and instead cast a pitying glance their way.
This made the King of Scavengers feel slighted, and he became so angry that his voice turned shrill:
