Valentin sneered within the protection of the C3-Grade shield, "Hahaha, humans, I have already sent out information on the 2 of you. Not long after, the Great Dragon Empire will know of your existence. If you surrender now, I can still spare you and give you a way out. I can even confer upon you a noble status! Otherwise, you and the 300, 000 humans in this Jiao Beast City will be wiped out!!"
The defense of the C3-Grade treasure was incredibly shocking, as long as the Type 8 Mutant Beast nucleus was not expended fully, within a short time, Annie would not be able to break through it.
The silk strands of Annie were useful in many areas, they could be used to assassinate, control, bind, defend, and even stealth, but they were not particularly strong in offense.
If it were Yue Zhong at his peak, he could definitely destroy the shield with a punch.
"You're spouting too much bullshit! Just sleep already!" Yue Zhong swept Valentin a look, his eyes flashing with a cold gaze, and a powerful intent that surpassed even a Type 9 powerhouse blasted towards him.
"Your Majesty!!" Struck by that intent, Valentin felt as though Yue Zhong had transformed into the Great Dragon Emperor who he feared and respected, reaching out to grab his head.
Under that terrifying spirit attack, Valentin's will was crushed, and his body crumpled to the ground, while the Mechanical Plate controlling the C3-Grade treasure fell onto the ground, and the shield disappeared.
Yue Zhong simply shook his finger, and sent a Type 7 Puppet Rune into Valentin's head, turning him into a puppet.
Annie stood quietly, and while her she seemed calm on the surface, her heart was full of shock, "That was formidable!! His will and intent already surpassed most Type 9 powerhouses!"
The usage of intent or willpower, as well as spatial laws, were the largest barriers for many Type 8 powerhouses to break through to the Type 9 realm. Many half-step Type 9 powerhouses would be stuck at the bottleneck for many years, before heading to various secret battlefields to temper themselves. However, most of them would only be able to train their will to be on the same realm as their strength, few could possess a will stronger than a Type 9 powerhouse at the Type 8 realm.
Valentin quickly came to, and he immediately came up to Yue Zhong, speaking respectfully, "Your slave Valentin greets Master!"
Yue Zhong asked, "How many Holy Race members are there in the Jiao Beast City?"
Valentin quickly replied, "There are 35, 434 Holy Race members, 476 Type 6 powerhouses, 11, 123 Type 5 powerhouses, and the rest Type 4."
With a wave of his hands, Yue Zhong sent a Puppet Rune into Valentin's hands "These are 40, 000 Puppet Runes, go turn all of them into puppets that you can control."
There was no thickness to the Puppet Rune, there was no difference between 40, 000 of them and 1 of them.
"Yes! Master! Valentin received the 40, 000 runes and quickly led his subordinates out.
Annie swept a look over the children on the dining table, her brows furrowing slightly, "What do we about these little kids?"
"Don't kill me!! Big brother, big sister, please, don't kill me!!"
"I know how to do things, I'm willing to help you!! Please don't kill me."
"... '
When the kids on the table heard Yue Zhong and Annie's conversation, they were filled with fear as they began to plead. They had seen how the 2 of them had slaughtered the Green Wyrms easily and were obviously more terrifying than the Holy Race. That was why they began to plead.
In fact, within the Great Dragon Planet, humans were even more vicious than the Holy Race.
Yue Zhong looked at the wailing children and frowned. He emitted a powerful aura, but was not fierce, as he barked, "Keep quiet!"
The kids were all frightened by Yue Zhong's intimidation, as they fell silent, staring at him with fear.
Yue Zhong spoke softly, "When I'm done handling things here, I will let you out. For now, just keep calm."
Hearing that, these kids finally managed to quieten down peacefully.
Annie frowned, "Are you intending to defend the city? We're not a match for the entire Great Dragon Empire."
If it were up to her, they had to leave here immediately.
The Great Dragon Empire was the overlord of this world and had over 48 Type 8 powerhouses, 1 Type 9 powerhouse and numerous Type 7 and Type 6 experts. Such a force was enough to crush Annie and Yue Zhong.
Annie was a human Holy Daughter, and against 100 Type 7 powerhouses, she could wipe them out. However, against 500 Type 7 powerhouses, she would have to retreat. If a thousand Type 7 experts joined forces, they could kill her.
Furthermore, Yue Zhong was still heavily injured, Annie did not wish to go against the Great Dragon Empire at this point in time.
Yue Zhong chuckled confidently, "Relax, I know what I'm doing."
Annie saw that, and replied with a nod, "En!"
Valentin was the mayor of the Jiao Beast City, and as he led his troops towards the rest of the Holy Race, he swiftly converted them all into Yue Zhong's puppets.
Noon, in the center of the city, the 300, 000 humans were already gathered. All of them had been summoned by the Holy Race and eyed the warriors with fear, afraid of their lives being claimed.
One human noble in a suit, Ran Jiang, looked towards another noble, Huo Te, and asked in an low voice, "Old Huo, what's going on? Why did the city mayor gather all of us here? Is he going to kill all of us?"
Hou Te had a look of alarm as he began to tremble, replying with a voice lacking in confidence, "I hope not... We already did so much for them, they should eat the rest instead of us right?!"
Inside the Jiao Beast City, all humans were mere food for the Holy Races. Every year, many noble sons and daughters would also be captured. However, there had never been a massacre before.
After all, if the Holy Race were to just slaughter wantonly, all humans would be wiped out, then the Holy Race would experience food shortage.
As the humans present began to speculate and guess, a human beauty dressed in silver armor came walking out, guarded by a number of ferocious-looking Holy Race warriors, as she came up to the podium.
Huo Te gazed at Yue Zhong and Annie and could not help but exclaim, "Look!! Those are humans!!"
Ran Jiang had a look of disbelief, "How could humans be walking together with the city mayor?"
Seeing Yue Zhong and Annie, the humans below began to break out in a discussion.
Yue Zhong frowned, and emitted a powerful pressure, "Quiet!"
Immediately, everyone quietened down.
Yue Zhong then explained, "I am Yue Zhong, a human. From today onwards, I'm the new mayor of the Jiao Beast City, you all are my citizens. My aim is to destroy the Great Dragon Empire and release all humans, instating humans as the rulers of this planet. I order you all to follow me, and fight for the freedom and rights of your fellow human beings, as well as your lives."
When those words fell, it was as though everyone became ants thrown in a boiling pot of water. Most of them did not celebrate, instead, they were filled with fear and terror.
After such a long period of time, the humans had no lack of any passionate young heroes to go against the Great Dragon Empire, however, their plights had always been miserable. All those who joined them had always been caught and eaten as well. Under the threat of the Great Dragon Empire's might, no one here wanted to fight against the Holy Race.
"Regardless of what you think, I don't care. What I need is your absolute obedience. Those who resist will die. My first order is that, from now on, no one is to hunt other humans, to hand any of your fellow human beings to the Holy Race. Those who disobey will end up like these guys."
Yue Zhong waved his hands, as 30 human soldiers-turned-puppets escorted 200 human nobles, as well as numerous others, out like dogs, shoving them towards the platform.
One of the captured nobles had a savage look as he roared out, "Release me!! Yue Zhong, you damn traitor!! You dare go against the Great Dragon Empire!! The Empire would not let you off! You will be punished and cooked by the Empire!!"
Another noble also screamed, "You dare to capture me!! My backer is Marquis Serati!! If you dare to touch me, you will definitely die!!"
The captured nobles were all screaming and venting their fury.
Yue Zhong waved his hands, and declared coldly, "Kill!"
In that instant, the 30 Type 5 human soldiers wielded large blades and charged through the captives, before turning to their hunting squads as well. Their blades swished through the air, acting like grinders.
The podium then became like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The nobles and their hunting squads were all sliced up into headless or dismembered corpses, crumpling to the ground.
In an instant, there were over 4, 000 dead bodies.
When the spectators saw this, all of them turned pale, and many vomited from the gruesome nature of the massacre. They were filled with fear towards Yue Zhong, as though he was a Devil King.
To these humans who had been treated like slaves, Yue Zhong just needed them to fear him and obey him, only then would he throw them into battle.
