Gui Tianya calmly took out a book from Wang Qianye's embrace and held it up for everyone to see, saying, "Wang Qianye's true power comes from this book, not from any so-called skills. He has been deceiving us all along."
Hearing this, the crowd was astonished. They couldn't understand why Wang Qianye would deceive them, nor could they comprehend why such a reason would warrant taking a companion's life; it seemed too hasty. One person couldn't help but ask, "You're killing him based on this alone? Isn't that a bit too overbearing?"
Gui Tianya explained, "Everyone, please don't be nervous. I'm not killing him for myself, but for our team, for the Peace Alliance to continue for a longer time, and for the greatest benefit of each of us present. One of the conditions I promised Qin Feng was this wordless heavenly book. As for killing Wang Qianye, it's because he lied to us and harbored selfish intentions. Such a person is not fit to team up with us; he deserved to die."
Upon hearing this, the crowd was even more confused. Cheng Yezi, who was closest to Gui Tianya, said, "While his lying to us is detestable, killing one of our members to fulfill Qin Feng's promise seems too hasty. Moreover, why should so many treasures be given to Qin Feng? Especially that Creation Pill, it's an supreme treasure, we absolutely cannot let it go so easily. Don't you all agree?"
The crowd immediately nodded in agreement.
"Exactly! Even if our Peace Alliance crumbles, with the strength of just a few of us, we can escape the monster encirclement. At worst, we can recruit teammates again. There's no need to give away the Creation Pill we worked so hard to obtain to him. It's simply not worth it!"
"Right, I also agree with everyone's opinion. That Qin Feng is an enemy, not a friend. He's only willing to save us because the conditions we offered were very generous. That person would never do business at a loss. Since we are the ones at a loss, why should we do this deal with him? Why don't we break out now and let the people of the Peace Alliance fend for themselves? I believe there are many lone cultivators in other regions. As long as we unite, with our strength, we can definitely reorganize a team of a thousand people. At that time, when we go to the secret realm again, we will gain more. There's no need for us to make this deal!"
"Yes, I also agree with everyone's opinion. That Qin Feng is not trustworthy, and we absolutely cannot give him the Creation Pill we have in hand!"
Seeing everyone speaking one after another, Gui Tianya smiled and said, "Everyone, please calm down. The conditions I promised him are merely a delaying tactic; I have no intention of giving him the Creation Pill. As long as he agrees to our request and cooperates with us from the outside, saving the people of the Peace Alliance, and we break out of the encirclement, we can always renege on our promise. He can't do anything about it. At that time, we will have the numbers and can kill him, taking his treasures."
Hearing this, one person said, "This plan is good. If he truly possesses enough strength, and he ambushes the monsters from behind, while we combine with the people of the Peace Alliance to focus our attack on one point, we should be able to break through and save everyone. As long as we escape the monster siege, then this Qin Feng will be no threat. Even if he has the strength to kill a sovereign-level monster, he will definitely not be a match for a few of us. Our combined combat power is not comparable to ordinary people."
"Yes, as long as we can escape the monster encirclement, everything will be manageable. However, I always worry that Qin Feng might not do as agreed. What if he plays some trick and makes us send the promised items in advance?"
"Exactly, the fact that Qin Feng is still alive and managed to escape death in Cheng Yezi's duel is enough to show that this person is not simple. If he were to play any tricks, it seems we wouldn't be able to do anything about it. If he makes us send the treasures in advance, what should we do?"
Gui Tianya thought for a moment and said, "Please rest assured about this. If he makes us send the treasures in advance, we will tell him that the monsters are besieging us, and we cannot deliver the treasures. We must rescue ourselves first before completing this transaction. If he becomes unreasonable, we will simply not do the business, break out, find Qin Feng, tear him to pieces, and then go to other zones to recruit new members for the team."
Hearing Gui Tianya's words, everyone nodded. They had no losses with this plan, so there was no need to worry. The worst-case scenario was the same as now: they would abandon the team and charge out on their own.
...
Qin Feng was mass-producing troops.
White light flickered around him, and with each flash, a Red Alert soldier appeared by his side. Ye Shen, standing nearby, looked somewhat stunned. She asked curiously, "We've already eliminated that sovereign-level monster, the demon, why are you summoning subordinates again? Aren't you worried about fainting like last time? You should be resting now!"
Qin Feng didn't stop his work, merely replying indifferently, "We're going to kill monsters shortly, so I need to summon more subordinates. You should also make some preparations!"
Hearing that they were going to kill monsters, Ye Shen became very happy because killing monsters meant leveling up and earning money. She still had many things she wanted to buy in the shop but couldn't afford them. As long as she killed enough monsters, she would be able to buy them, so she became very excited upon hearing Qin Feng's words.
"Okay, you summon more subordinates, and I'll make some preparations too, striving not to drag you down. Later, you can let your subordinates kill the monsters, and we'll hide aside. With your 50 combat power, I think escaping should be no problem. I'll consume the Foundation Establishment Pill now and gain 20 combat power, so escaping should also be fine. Hahaha..."
Qin Feng ignored Ye Shen. After summoning a certain number of Red Alert soldiers, he began building flying units.
He also transferred them over. Flying units were more expensive than Red Alert soldiers, but their combat power was the same. Their advantage was that they could fly into the air.
Most monsters had no way to deal with flying units. As for aerial monsters, he could also gain a certain advantage through sheer numbers.
At the same time, he also produced some of other unit types to deal with different monsters.
As time passed, the units he could control reached over 1200.
They all stood neatly on the open ground outside the fortress, a truly spectacular sight.
Seeing this force, Qin Feng was very satisfied. However, he also knew deeply that although these troops were numerous, their combat power was generally ordinary. He needed to purchase weapons to upgrade these soldiers.
In the shop, no matter what kind of weapons or equipment it was, when multiplied by 1200, the cost became very high. But Qin Feng had a way.
Because he had a secret weapon: the "High-Tech Decomposition Furnace."
He only needed to purchase the "High-Tech Manufacturing Furnace" from the shop to duplicate equipment. He just needed to buy the raw materials!
