Fifty years ago, the Land of Salvation connected to Earth. Since then, the world has undergone global mutations.
When everyone turns eighteen, they have a chance to awaken a Lord's Mark a...
"Today, we seven lords have formed an alliance here, to help each other and unite in offense and defense. What do you think?"
The American leader, Bach, surveyed the six people on the field, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Yoshi, I agree! The lord of the Great Japanese Empire will forever support the decision of the lord of the United States!"
Without hesitation, Hirata Ichiro, the lord of Japan, immediately agreed.
"Very good, as expected of Japan. The United States will provide you with assistance to the best of its ability at any time!" Bach nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask, "What about you five? Do you agree to become allies?"
“On Earth, our nation is an ally, and being in the Land of Salvation, we should also form an alliance.” The two lords of the Cold Kingdom exchanged a glance and said in unison.
"We agree."
The three Indian lords nodded like chickens pecking at rice, and said in unison.
"Alright! Then the seven of us shall formally establish an alliance today!" Bach waved his hand emphatically, his voice filled with unparalleled arrogance: "As the leader, I will command all actions. Is that alright?"
"No problem, you're our boss!"
The six lords shouted in unison.
Bach, in high spirits and in a great mood, began to speak eloquently:
"On Earth, the United States, Japan, and the United States form an all-weather strategic military alliance. We, living in the Land of Redemption, must also unite and stand together against external forces."
"Of course, India is also a good friend of the United States."
"Now that the seven of us have formed an alliance and joined forces, it will be very easy for us to resist the special disaster that will occur in two days."
"Although the lords who dared to oppose the United States in this wilderness have been almost wiped out."
"But we also need to recruit more allied lords to wipe out the other lords in the surrounding area."
"Especially the Dragon Kingdom and the Bear Kingdom. Whenever you encounter the lords of these two countries, you must attack and kill them immediately."
"In the end, we will surely dominate this wilderness and the entire Land of Redemption."
Hirata Ichiro, along with two South Korean lords and three Indian lords, clapped and said in unison, "Under the leadership of the United States, we will surely achieve glory."
Bach raised his voice, a hint of killing intent in his eyes: "Fifty kilometers away, we have discovered the territory of a Dragon Kingdom lord. The race is fishmen, with more than three thousand soldiers. If we join forces, we can wipe them out in fifteen minutes. At that time, I will take half of the resources, and you can split the rest equally."
"Yoshi, killing those despicable sick men of the Dragon Kingdom is my favorite thing!" Hirata Ichiro licked his lips, his pupils flashing with a bloodthirsty light.
"We must not allow the Red Ghost to spread across the Land of Redemption." The two Cold Kingdom lords exchanged a glance, their expressions also revealing intense killing intent.
"With only three thousand troops, and they're just weak merfolk, if the seven of us join forces, each of our army could drown this Dragon Kingdom lord with a single spit!"
The three Indian lords were smug, their faces showing extremely arrogant expressions.
Bach spoke rapidly, sounding somewhat impatient: "Now I order everyone to return to their respective territories, regroup their troops, and meet here in fifteen minutes. Then we will attack that dragon's territory together."
"How many troops should we bring?" Hirata Ichiro asked.
"Leave 10 percent of the soldiers to guard the territory, and bring out the remaining 90 percent. This time, we must annihilate the Dragon Kingdom lord with overwhelming force!" Bach said gruffly.
"There's an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom: 'Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?' Our seven soldiers together number over 50,000. Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to deal with a mere merfolk race?"
Hirata Ichiro was somewhat puzzled, a hint of doubt showing in his eyes.
Bach chuckled, his expression twisted with a morbid madness. “To deal with the Dragon Kingdom lords, you have to be ruthless. You have to make them die in despair. That’s what makes it more interesting, isn’t it?”
"Yoshi, I wholeheartedly agree with that view!" Hirata Ichiro laughed heartily.
"Quickly assemble the army and march with me!" Bach waved his hand.
"I obey!"
The other six lords quickly turned and left.
...
...
Fifty minutes later.
A merman scout, looking panicked, ran back to his territory.
"My lord, something terrible has happened!"
"Enemy activity detected! The numbers are enormous; at a glance, there are over forty thousand!"
"At this moment, the enemy army is already ten kilometers away and is rapidly advancing towards our territory!"
An Ruoyun stood up abruptly, her pretty face filled with a solemn expression: "What! There are more than 40,000 enemy troops? Tell me in detail, are they human lords or local forces?"
"Reporting to the Lord, the invaders are human lords, and there are seven of them!" The merman scout spoke quickly, relaying all the information he had gathered.
An Ruoyun clenched her fists, and fine beads of sweat seeped from her forehead.
She gritted her teeth. "The enemy's numbers have exceeded 50,000, and they are composed of five different races. My merman soldiers are simply no match for them."
"Now that things have come to this, we have no other choice but to ask Su Bai for help."
"However, with more than 40,000 enemy troops, their numbers already exceed Su Bai's swarm of insects, and he probably won't be able to deal with them."
"Never mind, no matter how it ends, let's inform him of the situation first."
"Hopefully we can get through this crisis safely!"
An Ruoyun quickly opened her friends page, found Su Bai, and sent a message.
[An Ruoyun: It's extremely urgent!]
[An Ruoyun: Seven lords from the United States, Japan, South Korea, and India, leading over 40,000 soldiers, are marching towards my territory!]
[An Ruoyun: What should we do now? We're positioned so close together; it probably won't be long before they discover your territory.]
Not long after.
Beep beep beep.
The chat window started shaking.
[Su Bai: Don't panic! I'm here, everything's alright. Actually, looking at it from another angle, this is a good thing. They all rushed at once, so we can kill them all, saving us the trouble of searching for them one by one.]
[An Ruoyun: But their army numbers over 40,000, and they are very powerful. Perhaps we should avoid a direct confrontation for now. I'll lead the troops and find a place to hide.]
[Su Bai: Why wouldn't I eat the meat that's been delivered right to my mouth! There's no need to hide; I will personally lead the troops and kill all these foreign lords.]
[An Ruoyun: The enemy outnumbers us, can we really win? What if...?]
An Ruoyun was editing a message when she suddenly noticed a large patch of light appear in front of her.
I looked up.
Su Bai, leading his swarm of insects, has already teleported here.
"You've come!"
An Ruoyun stepped forward, a hint of joy in her beautiful eyes.
For some reason, seeing Su Bai's face so close to hers instantly calmed her previously flustered heart.
