Chapter 906: Darlene"s Fury

Leon casually met Chief Valencia"s gaze. However, it wasn"t just Chief Valencia who directed her gaze at him.

The One-Eyed Venerable shaman, the other two chiefs, the other Venerable Shamans, and the Half-step Battle Kings all directed their gaze towards Leon.

Evidently, they all made him the ultimate decision-maker and the alliance leader, which was bound to happen sooner or later.

Nevertheless, Lord Rholthos was surprised by the situation. He raised an eyebrow at Leon with growing interest and curiosity, wondering who the young man might be.

"That is the Big Brother Leonhardt I mentioned to you about, Father," Young Master Zion whispered to Lord Rholthos.

"So you"re the one who saved my son. You have my grat.i.tude," Lord Rholthos nodded at Leon approvingly.

"To be a leader at such a young age, you"re definitely overflowing with talent. However, you must know where your limits are. The Infertile Plains issue is much bigger than you can handle. Therefore, you should convince your people to join under my banner. That is the only way you can keep everyone safe and well-fed."

Lord Rholthos chose such a time to visit because he knew they were running low on food.

At the same time, everyone understood that while Lord Rholthos"s words sounded like he was looking after them, his tone was full of oppression and coercion, which was deeply ingrained in his nature.

A person like this was clearly not as benevolent as he made himself to be.

"Lord Rholthos spoke too seriously. The Seven Tribes Alliance does not need anyone"s help. We"re grateful for your protection over the past three weeks, but now that I am here, all problems are as good as gone," Leon calmly stated.

With a wave of his hand, he casually blew away Lord Rholthos"s oppressive aura with his dragon aura, allowing everyone on his side to relax.

"Oh?" Lord Rholthos"s eyes narrowed with a solemn look and rea.s.sessed Leon.

For a moment, Lord Rholthos thought Leon"s strength eclipsed his own. After all, not just anyone could dispel his oppressive aura so casually.

However, Lord Rholthos found it impossible for a human to possess such a powerful dragon aura.

Thus, he concluded it to be the result of a unique technique to make the person more powerful than he actually seemed.

In other words, the person was bluffing.

"Are you saying you"re going to reject my offer?" Lord Rholthos questioned in a low and gloomy tone.

"Wrong, I already rejected your offer," Leon stated coolly.

"No need to keep up the pretense, Lord Rholthos. If you were truly looking after us, you wouldn"t need to recruit us. Furthermore, the fact that you even tried to recruit us shows your intention to compete in the battle for hegemony."

"Thus, don"t treat us like we are all idiots. We have no intention of becoming cannon fodders in your war," Leon stated coolly.

At the same time, he flashed the young Zion a look, causing the person to feel guilty at once.

Zion wanted to look after the Darkmoon Tribe to repay his benefactor.

But after hearing his benefactor"s answer and knowing his father"s nature, he immediately knew there would be a conflict.

In other words, he brought disaster on his benefactor.

Without surprise, Lord Rholthos"s aura became even more oppressive after he heard Leon"s reply.

"Since you understand the situation so well, you should understand you only have one choice. Unless you all want to die together, you"ll submit to me! Or do you think you can beat me, an Extremity-rank Battle King?"

Lord Rholthos swept his sharp gaze across the hall members, causing many to avert their gaze with fear and intimidation.

Nevertheless, there were also a few determined individuals who faced Lord Rholthos"s gaze head-on without cowering.

"Extremity-rank Battle King? Is it strong?" Leon snickered dismissively. Then, he turned to Darlene and sought her opinion with an amused smile, "What do you think, Darlene?"

An Early-rank Battle King possesses the strength of 5-million jin while subsequent breakthroughs increase their strength by 2.5-million jin.

In other words, an Extremity-rank Battle King only has the strength of 15-million jin.

"Only so-so," Darlene nonchalantly replied.             

Given her strength at the Early Rank 2 Body Transformation in the bone-forging and flesh-tempering phase, her physical strength was indeed a bit short from the 15-million jin mark, about 3-million jin to be exact.

However, she can easily close that gap and even surpa.s.s it with her near-Paragon level spatial ability.

Thus, she found Lord Rholthos"s confidence in his strength to be quite comical. After all, he was still far from the peak of Paragons. What"s there to be proud of?

Nevertheless, her reply shocked everyone in the great hall.

The strength of an Extremity-rank Battle King is only so-so? The people in the hall didn"t know whether she was ignorant or overconfident.

However, her words enraged Lord Rholthos and his loyal subordinates.

"How audacious! Young lady, you are too arrogant! You have greatly disrespected my Lord! Allow me to teach you how to be humble in your parent"s stead!" shouted a Mid-rank Battle King beside Lord Rholthos.

The Mid-rank Battle King dashed towards Darlene with his hand raised, intent on slapping her into the ground in the next instance.

However…

Peng!

Darlene planted her feet on the Mid-rank Battle King"s chest and sent him flying out the great hall with a kick.

"You"ll teach me a lesson in my parent"s stead? They"re not worthy, let alone you!" Darlene thundered furiously.

Swis.h.!.+

Darlene dashed out of the great hall, chasing after the Mid-rank Battle King, intent on beating the sh*t out of the person and perhaps even killing him.

She flew past Lord Rholthos and the people of the Battle G.o.d Palace, but no one stopped her. Instead, they stood rooted on the spot with looks of sheer shock.

No one would have thought that such a slim woman would possess such tyrannical strength for someone of her size.

Evidently, she had the strength to back her words.

"But how? How can that lady have such brute strength with a figure like that?" another Mid-rank Battle King raised his doubt in shock.

Fortunately, he wasn"t the one to infuriate the person.
