"My Lords, please do not kneel! Even if we all commit suicide, we will not let you be humiliated!" shouted a warrior from the Dragon King Hall in the crowd. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his gun and shot himself, taking his own life.
"No!!" Long Si and the others cried out, their hearts filled with grief. Compared to the lives of these brothers, their dignity was worthless. Why were these people so foolish?
"I command you all not to commit suicide! Anyone who dares to commit suicide will be expelled from the Dragon King Hall!" Long Si shouted at the Dragon King Hall warriors present.
At his command, those who were about to imitate the deceased warrior’s actions immediately stopped. Their faces were filled with grief and their hearts burned with anger.
"Heh heh, the discipline of the Dragon King Hall is truly admirable. It's much better than my Dark Night," Dark Night sneered, but his tone immediately shifted as he turned to Long Si and the others.
"Now, I'm adding a condition. Besides what I've already said, you must also shout 'Long live the Assassin Alliance, the Assassin Alliance will win!'"
"Bastard, I'll kill your ancestors!! Die!" Long Wu, who was pinned under Dark Night's foot, suddenly struggled to his feet with all his might. At the same time, a grenade, which he had somehow acquired, appeared in his hand, already activated. He intended to take Dark Night down with him.
"Hmph! Seeking death!" Dark Night snorted, instantly kicking the grenade out of Long Wu's hand before grabbing him by the neck.
"Bang!" The grenade exploded in mid-air, injuring no one.
To Dark Night, Long Wu's speed was far too slow. If their strength were similar, he might have panicked and dodged. However, Long Wu's strength was now only ten percent of what it was. His movements appeared as slow as a child's to Dark Night.
"You are seeking death!" Dark Night said coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Dark Night, let Long Wu go! We'll do as you say!" Long Si shouted urgently.
"Don't mind me! Bah! This son of a bitch, he's just a defeated opponent of our Dragon King Hall! He used to be a king, and now he's a watchdog for the Assassin Alliance. Heh heh, Dark Night, you are nothing but trash! If I were you, I would have killed myself after that war. I wouldn't have lived on like this!" Long Wu cursed viciously, spitting at Dark Night.
"Crack!" Dark Night tightened his grip, and Long Wu's voice was abruptly silenced. He was dead!
"No!!" Long Si and the others cried out, their madness escalating. They struggled to rise and charged towards Dark Night, wishing they could flay him alive at that moment.
"Hahaha!! Kill fifty of them for me!" Dark Night laughed as he retreated, throwing Long Wu's corpse towards Long Si and the others. He then gave an order to his subordinates.
"No! Stop them!" Long Si and the others exclaimed in alarm. However, their words were of no use. Upon hearing Dark Night's command, the members of the Assassin Alliance opened fire with machine guns, riddling the Dragon King Hall's men with bullets. The number of casualties far exceeded fifty.
"Ah!!" Long Si and the others went berserk. Two of the War Gods among them lunged towards Dark Night but were held back by Long Si. He knew that such actions were futile and would only lead to more of their people dying faster.
"Dark Night, tell your men to stop. We'll do as you say! Otherwise, we'll all commit suicide before letting you succeed!" Long Si shouted.
Hearing this, Dark Night waved his hand, and his men immediately ceased the massacre.
"Commander Long Si!!" someone in the crowd shouted, unwilling to see Long Si and the others submit.
"Everyone, shut up!" Long Si quickly reprimanded them, not wanting any more lives to be lost.
Dark Night chuckled lightly, not pursuing the person who had shouted, and instead looked at Long Si and the others with excitement.
"Kneel! Hurry and kneel!"
Long Si and the few others gritted their teeth, exchanged glances, and then all six of them knelt down. Instantly, the warriors of the Dragon King Hall roared, tears streaming down their faces. They knew that their commanders were doing this for them.
"No! Commanders, it's not worth it for us!"
"Get up quickly! Commanders, get up! The people of our Dragon King Hall only kneel to our parents and our King. No one else has the right to make us kneel!"
"Commander Long Si, get up! We don't want to live anymore! We'll fight them!"
"Hahahaha, satisfying! So damn satisfying!!" Dark Night roared to the sky, his face alight with excitement. The other War Gods of the Assassin Alliance also burst into laughter. After all, forcing the War Gods of the Dragon King Hall to kneel and making this scene public would undoubtedly cause immense damage to the Dragon King Hall's reputation.
"Hurry and kowtow! Quickly kowtow! Then shout those words!" a War God of the Assassin Alliance yelled, laughing with extreme arrogance.
"Rumble!!" Just then, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the distant forest, instantly startling everyone present.
"Buzz!" Simultaneously, dozens of helicopters appeared in the sky above the valley, opening fire on the Assassin Alliance members below.
"Damn it! Who is it?!" Dark Night roared in fury, his face contorted with rage.
The members of the Assassin Alliance were thrown into chaos, frantically scrambling to take cover.
"Someone, shoot them down!" a War God ordered, but instantly, a figure descended from the sky. He immediately sensed something was wrong and swiftly dodged.
"Bang!" The figure landed, a graceful form. The moment she touched the ground, she charged towards the War Gods of the Assassin Alliance. At the same time, fierce combat sounds echoed from the distant forest.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Over a dozen figures landed consecutively, their targets all being the War Gods of the Assassin Alliance.
"Damn it! Who are you? The Assassin Alliance is at war with the Dragon King Hall, and which faction are you? Do you realize the consequences of interfering in our war?" Dark Night shouted, his voice laced with fury.
He couldn't understand. The Dragon King Hall's forces were dispersed across various locations, and their War God powerhouses had been dispatched elsewhere. Even the Dragon King himself had gone to support the Southern base. According to their calculations, even if the Dragon King Hall's forces realized and sent reinforcements to the Northern base, it would take at least two hours. Therefore, he was perplexed as to which faction these people belonged to.
"The Dark Department of the Dragon King Hall has come to rescue, to avenge our fallen brothers!" a figure shouted.
"Great Qin Red Dragon, Assassin Alliance, you are now surrounded! The Assassin Alliance has been indiscriminately killing innocent people within our borders. Our nation's sovereign has ordered an alliance with the Dragon King Hall to annihilate the Assassin Alliance!" another figure declared.
At this very moment, more and more powerful individuals were descending from the sky, and the sounds of fighting outside the valley were growing closer. The entire battlefield instantly intensified.
Dark Night's face twisted in rage. Information about the Red Dragon and the Dark Department of the Dragon King Hall flashed through his mind. He then gritted his teeth and said.
"What if you've come? You're still just sending yourselves to death! With me here, you won't be able to turn the tide!"
This was the confidence of a top-tier War God. He believed he could at least contend with five War Gods alone. Moreover, his side had more numbers. They were merely disrupted by the enemy's sudden appearance, but if the battle continued, his side would still emerge victorious.
"So, I have arrived! Take back the life you owe me!" a cold voice echoed from behind him. Dark Night turned around in disbelief, his eyes wide, a flicker of fear on his face. Behind him, a dark silhouette stood silently in the shadows, like the Grim Reaper.
