"surrender?"
"We kobold tribes have dignity and backbone. What right do you goblins, two-faced bastards, have to demand our surrender!"
The kobold elder's tone was cold and hard, leaving no room for negotiation.
He was very clear about Su Bai's potential and understood that Su Bai was testing them at this stage.
If they fail the test and choose to surrender to the goblin tribe, they will completely lose the right to be Su Bai's subordinate.
Conversely, if they desperately resist the goblins and Su Bai arrives in time, the kobold tribe's great wealth and prosperity will begin today!
"Old man, you're refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. In that case, I'll leave none of you foolish tribes alive!"
The goblin chieftain drew his sword and, with an army of over 100,000 goblins, launched an attack on the kobolds, orcs, and centaur artisans.
Years of exploitation by the orc kingdom have left the three races with almost no decent weapons. They can only use iron hammers and axes for repairs to fight against hundreds of thousands of goblin soldiers.
It was less a battle and more a one-sided massacre.
The combined number of able-bodied men and women of the kobold tribe, orcs, and centaurs is no more than 100,000.
There was absolutely no chance of resistance against the level 30 vicious goblin soldiers.
Blood mingled as countless kobolds, orcs, and centaurs fell.
But they showed no sign of backing down, exchanging blood for blood, life for life.
"How utterly foolish! In such a vast desolate wilderness, with the fog descending, even that human lord himself is barely able to save himself, yet you still delude yourselves into thinking he will come to your rescue."
The goblin chieftain had already figured out the current situation, otherwise he wouldn't have joined forces with the lord who had long coveted the desolate desert to rebel.
He was certain that Su Bai would never be able to cross the narrow, foggy stretching for over ten kilometers along the edge of the desolate desert.
"oh?"
"Who said I wouldn't come to the desolate desert? Did you dream about it last night?"
A chilling voice, like a death knell, rang out from behind the goblin army.
The goblin chieftain turned around stiffly, his already green skin turning black from the shock of the sight before him.
"Everyone...human lords!"
"Sizzle!"
The goblin chieftain's words became his last.
A dark purple psionic arrow pierced through his hard skull.
The sickening sound of bones cracking terrified hundreds of thousands of goblin soldiers.
Looking at the 600,000 menacing Zerg army and the still-warm corpse of their chieftain.
Without exception, these goblin soldiers dropped their weapons and began to cry and roar.
"My lord, we were forced into this!"
"My lord, please give us another chance! We will absolutely follow you to the death!"
Su Bai glanced indifferently at the tens of thousands of goblin soldiers crying and wailing, and uttered a few words in a low voice.
"Once unfaithful, always untrustworthy!"
There was no pity whatsoever, just as ruthless as their betrayal.
Six hundred thousand Zerg soldiers swarmed in and devoured hundreds of thousands of unarmed goblin soldiers.
The kobold elder survived the ordeal, and half of the artisans from the three races were lost.
The kobold elder looked at Su Bai and knelt down tremblingly.
He felt extremely fortunate that his choice was absolutely correct.
"My lord, your people are deeply grateful for your great kindness and virtue!"
Su Bai nodded.
"I see your loyalty; keep it up."
"Let's stop the repairs on the ruins of the royal city for now, and gather all the able-bodied men from all the tribes together."
"When the Black Tide descends, I will not abandon you, nor will I give up the barren desert, but you must also show me your determination to resist the Black Tide."
"My lord, we will perish with the barren desert!" the kobold elder swore.
Su Bai was naturally generous to such a pragmatic local tribe.
He took out a considerable amount of various resources from his storage space and handed them over to the kobold elder.
Most of these resources were provided by various lords in the desert, and since the territory level has just been upgraded, they won't be needed for a while.
Su Bai's actions moved the kobold elder to tears.
This was unthinkable before!
After accepting the reward with tears of gratitude, the kobold elder, without stopping, led the remaining tens of thousands of local tribal artisans away.
He was prepared to demonstrate to Su Bai the loyalty and determination of his kobold people through his actions.
After dealing with the goblin tribe, Su Bai arrived at the oasis where 200,000 insectoid troops had been deployed.
Several rebellious human lords gathered an army of hundreds of thousands, thinking they could defeat the 200,000-strong Zerg army that was not under Su Bai's command.
However, reality was far beyond expectations. Of the 200,000 Zerg troops, only a portion were lost due to the initial surprise attack.
Once they recovered, they were almost evenly matched with the rebel lords.
In fact, as the battle became increasingly intense, the Zerg army even seemed to have the upper hand.
"A bunch of noobs, with this level of skill they dare to rebel."
Upon arriving at the scene of the rebellion, Su Bai didn't waste any words. He immediately turned the tables on the rebels, launching an attack from behind the rebel lord's army.
Six hundred thousand Zerg and two hundred thousand Zerg troops formed an encirclement.
By the time those rebel lords regained their senses, they had already perished in the mouths of springtails, hydralisks, cockroaches, and saboteurs.
Having brought this rebellion to a close without serious incident, the kobold elder had completed Su Bai's mission.
All the local tribes that had not rebelled were gathered together to listen to Su Bai's instructions.
Su Bai piled up the remaining rebel corpses, creating a blood-soaked little mountain.
"As I said before, I will not interfere too much with your development."
"But I will absolutely not allow betrayal!"
"In fact, what I hate most is betrayal."
The strong smell of blood turned the faces of the local tribesmen present pale.
"Lord Su Bai, we absolutely know nothing about this!"
"Yes, yes, the goblin tribe has grudges against many of our tribes."
Su Bai waved his hand, interrupting the various ethnic groups' explanations.
"I believe in your innocence, but you must also prove your loyalty. The kobold tribe, the centaur tribe, and the orc tribe have all proven their loyalty."
“The Black Tide will arrive in three days. I don’t want to see any tribes cowering in the depths of the desolate desert. I have a responsibility to protect the desolate desert, but you have the same responsibility.”
"Lord Su Bai, rest assured, our Lion Scorpion Clan is absolutely a nation of warriors!"
"We vultures are the same!"
Having received a harsh lesson, Su Bai knew it was time to offer a reward.
He then promised that any race that performed well in blocking the Black Tide would receive his strong support.
Immediately, many local tribes were filled with righteous indignation, declaring that they would never back down and would vow to protect the barren desert to the death.
