Chapter 458 Monsters from the Yao clan landed outside the Dog City!

There was silence in the palace.

Several commanders stood by the pillars below, silently serving.

The ruler beside the throne was silent.

He turned his back to his capable men and looked up at the huge, transparent, round crystal dome above his head, trying to get some inspiration from the sky.

The sunlight shone through the crystal into the temple, coating Khepri and his throne with a layer of sacred golden light.

No one said a word.

It seemed as if something invisible and unspeakable was watching from inside the palace, and no one wanted to violate this taboo.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried running outside.

The voice arrived before the person arrived.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, monsters from the Yao tribe have landed outside of Dog City!"

Kebli turned around: "Speak clearly."

The one who came running to report was a short undead warrior.

He knelt on one knee in front of the throne and said, "Your Majesty, the monster is covered in black robes and is more burly and huge than ordinary Yao people. It has no eyes and wears a helmet that completely covers its face."

"Its entire body is made of gold or silver, and there are two high ridges on its back that look like bones or folded wings. They cannot be identified under the black robe."

"According to the scouts, it is not a living being, but it is not any existing undead life either. The monster can speak, and it is conversing with Lord Charles."

"The soldiers didn't dare to get close. They only heard sporadic words like 'Menis's basic skills are poor', 'His understanding is poor and his operation is not good', 'Teach him a lesson'..."

As soon as these words came out, the commanders couldn't help but whisper.

Menis, who was unable to contend with in the Dog City, was actually evaluated as weak by the monster sent by the Yao tribe. Judging from its posture, it came from afar to teach Menis a lesson.

The current situation is truly disturbing.

"Shut up!"

Khepri growled.

Silence returned to the palace again.

"Let's explore again."

Soon, another soldier came back quickly.

"The mind-reading demon is heading towards the area where Menis is!"

The soldier said nervously, "Your Majesty, that monster has the ability to read minds. It can find out the deployment of all our soldiers just by looking around, and even predict the next move of each of us. It's very scary..."

The commanders all looked towards their leader on the throne.

Kebli just said calmly: "I know. Keep exploring."

…

A new round of front-line intelligence was once again sent to the palace.

"Your Majesty, the unfathomable monster is called the Chess King, and claims to be one of the holy wishes of the Yao clan. It came here to play chess with Menis."

This news left everyone a little confused.

Soon after, the next scout arrived.

"Report! Mr. Chess King has crossed the front line and met Menis! Menis has escaped!"

“…”

There was an uproar in the palace.

The commanders could no longer bear it and rushed forward, surrounding the soldier who reported the news and questioning him.

"Did you see this with your own eyes? Soldier, you are responsible for everything you say. Do you know what you are talking about?"

"How did they meet? Why did Menes run away? Did they fight?"

"Hurry up and tell me what's going on!"

"You mean a meeting, not a game of chess? Why did Menis run away?"

…

Faced with all kinds of questions, the Undead Warrior stammered, "I saw it with my own eyes. It's true, it's true, Commanders. It's true."

"As soon as the monster appeared, Menis woke up immediately. As soon as he saw the chess king, he...ran away."

"The Chess King possesses some kind of incomprehensible curse. Menis became extremely weak in front of it, as if all his strength had been sucked away by the opponent. Menis was simply unable to resist the Chess King. These were all witnessed by the soldiers themselves. You can ask Commander Charles, he is on the scene!"

“…”

When these words came out, everyone in the palace looked at each other in bewilderment.

Kebli was a little upset: "Call Charles back!"

"yes."

…

Charles hurried to the palace and knelt on one knee to the ruler on the throne: "Your Majesty."

"I have dismissed everyone else. Tell me what you saw and know. I want everything, any detail, not a single detail should be missed."

Khepri's voice was heavy.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Charles gathered his thoughts and tried to calm his breathing.

He was still immersed in the incredible experience he had before.

"I received the Yao clan envoy at the north gate of Dog City. He introduced himself and said that his name was Chess King, and he was a chess player of the Yao clan. He came to Dog City to play chess with Menis."

"Do you believe it?" Kebli asked.

"I don't know."

Charles chose his words carefully: "But the chess king also revealed some information. He said that Menis had challenged Yao Shen to a duel before, and after losing, he disappeared without a trace... So this time Yao Shen sent someone to visit him to see if he was okay."

Kebli: "... continue."

"The chess king and I were walking and talking, there was no need for the soldiers to watch him, he was not a combat member, he came here just to play chess. The chess king has a special ability to predict our next move, this ability is amazing, if you are not a witness, it is hard to believe."

Charles could see the armored man's every move.

"After entering the front line, the Chess King went straight to the area where Menis was. As soon as the Chess King appeared, Menis immediately stood up from the ground and fled far away..."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Khepri's dark face turned slightly red, a sign of his agitated emotions.

"Escaped? Where did you escape to?"

"Menis fled in the direction of his original tomb. He shrunk his body and ran very fast. The Chess King chased him all the way to Menis's tomb, but he couldn't find any trace of Menis. He must have hidden himself. It will take some time to find him."

The tentacles on Kebli's head were trembling slightly, and he tried hard to suppress his anger and unwillingness.

Finally, his shoulders slowly calmed down: "Does the Chess King really have the ability to weaken Menis?"

"Rather than being weak, it's more like a kind of...special rule restriction. Indeed, as soon as the chess king appeared, Menis himself became visibly weak." Charles replied.

"really."

Khepri paced back and forth beside the throne.

"It is the power of the title [White City Decisive Battle Site]. If Menis continues to win, he will be able to completely suppress the enemy, leaving them powerless to fight back and no choice but to surrender."

"I asked you to send many things over before, just to prevent him from using this title against us, which would be a troublesome matter."

Charles suddenly realized and his eyes flashed red.

"However, if Menis is defeated using this title, he will also gradually find it difficult to deal with the winner. This is a double-edged sword. The power of the title only makes the strength and weakness more extreme and accumulated, reducing the loss in the process."

"If I'm not mistaken, Menis should have been defeated miserably by Yao Shen repeatedly. The balance of strength has been unbalanced, and he will no longer have the ability to face Yao Shen directly. This is also the result of Menis's instinctive behavior... If he encounters a truly powerful person who is much stronger than him, he will be courting death."

Kebli sighed. "Whether it's me or Menis, we're still a little bit weaker in the end. My symbiotic ability can only be effective at close range, and this precious opportunity won't come again."

Charles couldn't help but feel unwilling when he saw the King of the Tomb showing rare tiredness and self-blame.

"Your Majesty, can you be frank with the Yao Clan... hope that they can help you control Menis? According to my contacts with them, many things can be discussed as long as the price is right."

“…”

Kebli raised his head and looked at the sun behind the dome.

"Charles, my pain is the pain of my own weakness. The appearance of Yao Shen only shows this fact clearly again... Even if there is no Menis incident, there will be other incidents to verify this."

"In the final analysis, Dog City is a dead city stuck in the past. It will only become weaker and weaker, even though it once buried a large number of gods. But life cannot be nurtured here. The rules of the world are sealed and bound. It is a giant that is constantly decaying."

"Well, recognizing your own weaknesses and limitations is also a necessary ability for survival. Now let's talk about how to negotiate the Menis business with the Yao tribe."

…

Leaving the palace, Charles joined the chess king who was waiting at the north gate of the city.

"Sorry for the long wait."

"fine."

The chess king in a black robe didn't seem to care. He just said, "It's a pity that I didn't get to play chess this time. Menis actually fled in the face of the enemy. This guy is really weak. Was he really a god before?"

Charles could only smile awkwardly.

After returning to the Resurrection Kingdom, Charles went straight to the outside of the temple to visit Cat Grass.

"Ms. Cat Grass... This is the situation. We hope to get strong help from you to control Menis today. For this, we are willing to pay a generous reward."

Maocao did not express his opinion.

The wise insect next to him spread his hands and said, "Then, how much is Mr. Kebli willing to pay? The other party is a titled god. We, the Yao clan, are a race that advocates peace. It would be very difficult for us to intervene in your internal affairs..."

"We have always had the utmost respect and reverence for Lord Yaoshen."

Charles raised his right index finger and said, "Lord Kebli is willing to pay 100 million Fires of Faith to Lord Yaoshen to help us gain permanent control over Menis."

The wise bug and the cat grass looked at each other.

Mao Cao finally spoke: "This is a matter related to a god, I must consult Lord Yao Shen first."

"Understood. I can wait."

Charles nodded.

About an hour later.

Maocao slowly opened her eyes and stretched out her paws: "The great God Yao has agreed to participate in this cooperation. I wish our cooperation goes smoothly and we can capture Menis as soon as possible."

Charles let out a sigh and shook hands with the other person.

"With the help of Lord Yaoshen, I believe we will be able to accomplish this goal soon!"

Both parties got what they wanted and smiled with ease.
