Heavenly Pride Ranking (Please Bookmark and Recommend)

Zhao Fu led the Great Qin Village soldiers, along with the Goblins from Rogge Village, to surround this small village. This Goblin village had more than seventy Goblin Warriors; the rest were either female, elderly, or young.

"Rogge! Go and persuade them to surrender."

Now, with Zhao Fu's forces combined with Rogge Village's troops, they completely outnumbered this village. They also had different troop types working together, so taking this village would be easy. Of course, it would be best if they could take it without losing a single soldier.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Old Rogge, like the residents of Great Qin Village, respectfully addressed him as Your Highness. Then he stepped forward and shouted, "You are completely surrounded. You have no chance of victory. Surrender, and do not make meaningless sacrifices."

But as soon as Old Rogge finished speaking, the Goblins inside the village began crying out angrily, seemingly cursing him. Since they were not yet Zhao Fu's subjects, there was no language translation, so he could not understand what they were saying.

Zhao Fu frowned and asked Old Rogge, "What are they cursing about?"

Old Rogge nodded and replied, "Your Highness! They are calling me a traitor to the Goblins. They say that attacking them alongside cunning humans is a disgrace to the Goblins."

After hearing Old Rogge's words, Zhao Fu gave a cold snort. Since they refused to surrender, they could only fight. Zhao Fu gave Bai Qi a look.

Bai Qi shouted, "Form ranks! Prepare Fire Arrows!"

The Shield Bearers immediately raised their shields and stepped forward, with the Infantry following behind them. In the third row, the Archers lit their arrows and drew their bows in unison.

"Fire!"

At the command, Fire Arrows shot out one after another. This time, they were not aimed at the Goblins but at their houses. The wooden homes immediately began to burn, and the Goblins in the village fell into some chaos.

Then, arrows began shooting down the Goblins one after another. Watching Goblins fall one by one, Old Rogge felt somewhat fortunate. It was a good thing he had surrendered; otherwise, Rogge Village would have suffered this same fate.

At last, the Goblins inside the village had no other choice and charged out desperately.

Watching the large group of Goblins rush out, the Archers fired in an orderly fashion. Zhao Fu and Old Rogge also began casting Hellfire Balls. To Zhao Fu's surprise, Old Rogge raised the Withered Wood Staff in his hand, and two Blood-colored Fireballs the size of basketballs condensed above him, carrying an intimidating aura.

Then Old Rogge swung his wooden staff, sending the two Blood-colored Fireballs flying into the charging Goblins. Because the Goblins were packed too densely, the two fireballs blasted more than a dozen of them into the air. Five or six were left mangled and bloody, clearly beyond saving.

The fireballs Old Rogge used were an effect that only appeared when a skill had been mastered to its peak. Zhao Fu felt slightly fortunate that he had not chosen to attack Rogge Village back then. Otherwise, with Old Rogge and the altar's attributes, they would definitely have dealt him a heavy blow.

However, that no longer mattered. Zhao Fu cast Hellfire Balls as well, though they were not as powerful as Old Rogge's and only blasted seven or eight Goblins away.

At this moment, Bai Qi led the Shield Bearers and Infantry in a direct charge, forcibly driving the Goblins back into the village.

"Rogge! Shout at them again and ask whether they are willing to surrender."

Zhao Fu saw fear and panic already appearing on the faces of the Goblins within the village, and he said to Old Rogge in a low voice.

Hearing this, Old Rogge stepped forward and shouted once more, "Now you have seen how formidable this noble Your Highness is. Surrender! The noble Your Highness will treat you well."

So many Goblins had died at once. Seeing the fierce soldiers outside the village and the blazing fire behind them, the Goblins knew they would either burn to death or be killed if they charged out. At the same time, seeing that Old Rogge seemed to be doing quite well among them, they felt that Zhao Fu would not mistreat them. In the end, they chose to lay down their weapons, walk out, and kneel on the ground.

"Notice! Jean Village has surrendered to you. Do you accept?"

Zhao Fu smiled, understanding that these foreign races would only submit to the strong. Once they witnessed overwhelming power, they would choose surrender.

"You chose to accept their surrender and gained another 50 battle merits!"

"Bai Qi, I'll leave this place to you. Take some people and put out the fire. I need to log out for a while!" Zhao Fu remembered that he had not logged out of Apocalypse World for nearly a day, so he gave Bai Qi his instructions.

Bai Qi nodded and led everyone, including the Goblins, to put out the fire. Zhao Fu also logged out of Apocalypse World.

Although he could eat food in Apocalypse World and fill his stomach, that did not carry over to the real world. He still needed food in reality, or else he would starve to death.

His consciousness returned to his body, and hunger flooded his mind. Zhao Fu sat up from his bed. He had eaten instant noodles for several days, and today he wanted a change of taste, so he planned to get some fast food downstairs.

But the moment he opened the door, an elderly man with graying hair and an impeccably tailored suit appeared before him. Zhao Fu vaguely recognized the man as the Li Family's butler, and his expression immediately turned cold. "What do you want from me?"

The butler did not mind Zhao Fu's attitude and said, "The master wants you to return to the Li Family. Whatever you want, the Li Family can satisfy you. It will be compensation for you and your mother."

"Compensation?"

Hearing those words, anger rose in Zhao Fu's heart. He clenched his teeth and fists. "What compensation can bring my mother back to life? What compensation can make up for the pain in her heart? What could ever compare to the tears my mother shed?"

"I will not go," Zhao Fu said coldly.

Seeing Zhao Fu's expression, the butler sighed and said, "Very well. But I hope you can control your emotions and do nothing harmful to the Li Family. Otherwise..."

The butler did not finish his words, but Zhao Fu understood perfectly. If I do anything that harms the Li Family, they will kill me without hesitation.

Zhao Fu's heart turned icy. Originally, I had planned to follow Mother's final wishes and not cause trouble for the Li Family. I did not want her to suffer over this even in the afterlife. But now they have come to threaten me. Yes, I have no ability to resist in the real world, but once the real world is swallowed and Great Qin Village grows strong, it is still uncertain who will kill whom.

Still, the butler had only offered him a well-intentioned warning. Zhao Fu nodded to show that he understood.

Afterward, the butler left. Zhao Fu ordered a fast-food meal from a small restaurant downstairs, then returned home, turned on his computer, and browsed the Apocalypse Forum while eating. He wanted to see if there was any information he did not know and observe the current situation across Huaxia.

Now that the various factions had entered Apocalypse World, they were already forming their own powers and dividing up their territories. There was even a Heavenly Pride Ranking. Everyone on it was undoubtedly an outstanding Dragon-Phoenix among men, extraordinarily noble, with a powerful aristocratic family supporting them from behind.

First, Great Xia's inheritor... Si Ji!

Second, Great Shang's inheritor... Di Wutian!

Third, Great Zhou's inheritor... Ji Shenming!

Fourth, Great Han's inheritor... Liu Ye!

Among the first four, two were enemies. The Heavenly Pride Ranking was currently ranked according to family strength: the older the family's history, the stronger its power. By that ranking, the Great Qin Ying Family should originally have been fourth, but the Ying Family had not obtained the Great Qin Legacy. They were now frantically searching for the person who had acquired it.
