Chapter 1713: Chapter 980: Lord and Deadlock_2 Chapter 1713: Chapter 980: Lord and Deadlock_2 “Heh, indeed, even if they’ve allied with that foolish Necromancer, what of it? It hardly counts as a struggle for survival.”

Stone’s aged face was full of mockery, as he added his voice in agreement.

“Then let them witness true terror.”

The Fourth Prince sneered and, with a casual wave of his hand, four more figures radiating powerful auras suddenly materialized out of thin air.

The pale moonlight cast upon a series of tall and sturdy dark bodies, heads without facial features, reflecting a gritty, eerie light—these were the other four Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets that had never appeared before!

Together with the two that were already slowly advancing, the Fourth Prince’s side now had Tier 5 National Level combat powers that far exceeded the one person and one beast on our side, reaching a total of six!

Seeing this scene, everyone present was startled at first, and then split into two radically different expressions.

The strong on our side naturally wore faces full of astonishment, not daring to believe their own eyes.

Meanwhile, those aristocratic powerhouses surrounding us displayed faces brimming with killing intent and mocking glee.

The situation was now self-evident.

As the Fourth Prince revealed his last trump card, his Fifth Order combat power had surpassed ours by four.

Under such overwhelming odds, even if everyone on our side fought desperately with their backs against the wall, there were absolutely no chances of victory!

Suddenly, a very unsettling cloud of darkness instantly overshadowed every member of our side, stirring up an extremely heavy atmosphere that weighed upon every heart.

This was undoubtedly a battle where death was certain.

“So you’re the scum from another world who has been opposing this prince all along? You’ve indeed caused me quite a bit of trouble before.”

Feeling the heavy and anxious atmosphere of our side, the Fourth Prince, intent on a sure victory, did not seem in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he leisurely shifted his gaze back to Leo Ray and taunted, “Now it seems you’re nothing special after all, just another piece of scum from another world.”

“To be beaten black and blue by someone supposedly as common as Othersiders, you must be even lower than scum.”

Staring down his opponent’s considerable advantage in combat power, Leo Ray was filled with astonishment and incomprehension, yet he calmly responded, “What? Haven’t learned your lesson after being taught so many times?”

“What a sharp-tongued kid, no wonder you could make that stupid glass vase do your bidding. But you won’t be hopping around much longer. Just a piece of Otherworld scum with inferior bloodline daring to contend against a noble like this prince—the moment you made your despicable arrival in this world, you decided today’s outcome!”

The Fourth Prince was so enraged he laughed instead, still seeming quite amused as he taunted Leo Ray, “It’s too late for regrets now. Not only will I reduce you to dust, but all the Otherworldly Lords will surely die too!”

“Perhaps it’s precisely because of people who consider themselves noble that we have come to this world.”

Faced with his opponent’s deadly threat, Leo Ray’s gaze remained unwavering as he quietly said, “Although the path ahead is filled with the unknown and mystery, one thing is certain—this world, filled with enigmas, is ripe for a transformation.”

“Tsk, spouting some nonsensical gibberish—you must be scared out of your wits as death approaches.”

The Fourth Prince, wearing an overconfident expression, didn’t continue to engage in conversation with Leo Ray, but disdainfully said, “And here I thought you had some exceptional ability, but it looks like that’s not the case.”

Having said that, he looked over each member of our side with the proud stance of a victor, finally setting his gaze on Ariel Watson, brazenly stating, “My foolish sister, now do you understand the consequences of opposing me?”

“Let me tell you, everyone present here today, along with all the Shanglu soldiers within the city, shall die without a place to be buried!”

The Fourth Prince’s gaze turned dark as he casually added, “Well? If you kneel and beg for mercy now, perhaps in consideration of that old man from the Royal Capital, I might just spare you.”

“Don’t even think about it! The moment you promised the Three Great Aristocratic Families more land and benefits, you became a criminal of the Royal Family! Even if you truly have the power to keep the Three Great Aristocratic Families in check, because of their overt and covert struggles, the people of Coldflame Land will never know peace, and the innocent citizens will become tools in the hands of the aristocrats, ultimately leading to their destruction.”

With unyielding determination in her starry eyes, Ariel Watson coldly said, “To plant the seeds of war in this land for your own power—you’re utterly unforgivable!”

“Oh? It seems our Vase Princess has grown up a bit.”

Hearing Ariel’s rebuke, instead of getting angry, the Fourth Prince seemed almost pleased and raised an eyebrow, “Indeed, one must be destroyed to stand anew. What this prince intends to do is to create a brand new era, to shape a completely new structure of power!”

“And you, along with that despicable scum from another world, are the last stumbling stones for this prince.”

The Fourth Prince’s voice grew colder as he glared at Ariel Watson’s fair complexion, “In consideration of you being a member of the Royal Family, this prince will give you one last chance. If you choose to kneel and beg for mercy now, this prince might temporarily spare your life; otherwise, all of you must die today!”

“No matter what happens, he and I shall live and die together.”

Ariel Watson stood close to Leo Ray, her fair face filled with unwavering resolve as she declared firmly, “If it’s a battle you want, then battle you shall have. We shall not retreat by an inch!”

After Ariel spoke, everyone around her from the main force subordinates, the Stone Spirits, Mr. Lane, to the Shanglu Elders, each one bore the same unyielding expression on their faces, obviously determined to fight to the death.

“Good, then this prince shall fulfill your wish!”

Seeing that the members on our side did not flinch, the Fourth Prince’s patience had clearly run out. Six Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets emanating an immense aura began to slowly advance towards our side.

“Heh heh, Nolan, in the ten years you’ve been in the Cold Flame Western Region, the head of the family has never mistreated you. If you come to your senses now, I will ask His Highness to spare your life,” said Stone, squinting his old eyes and speaking to Nolan with a smile.

“Stone, stop your shameless boasting. From the very beginning, all you’ve coveted was my power, trying to make me dance in the palm of your hands. I will never lower myself to consort with you again!” Nolan snorted coldly, his face full of resolute defiance as he said, “I shall stand with Mr. Lane until the very last moment of this war!”

“Stubborn fool, then you can go to your death as well!”

Seeing this, the Fourth Prince immediately waved his hand, and a host of aristocratic powerhouses and alchemy puppets shot forth, launching a fierce assault on Leo Ray and his companions.

Naturally, Leo Ray and his companions refused to show any weakness. Their weapons glittered with icy radiance as they engaged their opponents in a fierce battle.

In the midst of these inconspicuous city ruins, shadows flitted back and forth, the fierce glow of martial techniques and the imposing light of magic sweeping wildly everywhere, stirring up a storm of energy that rendered the scene intensely violent.

Listening to the constant sounds of weapon clashes and explosions around him, Leo Ray sharply noted:

The Fourth Prince, Stone, and Nolan had not joined the battle immediately and out of the six Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets, the opponents had only sent two to fight, who were currently locked in fierce combat with Nolan and the Undead Strong Beasts.

In other words, at least from the current situation, our side and the opponents were still evenly matched in strength.

“The opponents already have an overwhelming advantage, so why not throw in all their forces at once to defeat us quickly, but instead still seem to be holding back? This clearly defies logic,” Leo Ray thought with suspicion in his heart.

From this, it was not hard to discern that there was something strange afoot, and perhaps that could be the only hope for our side to turn defeat into victory.
