116 A Threat?
Compared to the buildings in and out of the Elf Valley, this stronghold was much more simple and crude.
However, compared to the other tribes that Su Ming had subdued before, they were in a much better state.
The only ones who could compete with them were the Dwarves and the blood race.
However, the Dwarves could not be blamed for not having enough materials.
Su Ming put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind and turned around to look at the Long Saber Guard beside him.
“This is your tribe, right?”
The Long Saber Guard was slightly startled when he heard this, but he nodded his head.
At this time, at the sentry post at the entrance of the village, someone had already noticed them and immediately exchanged a look.
Some of the people at the sentry post ran into the city, while some of them gathered their courage and walked out of the sentry post, heading in their direction.
When he saw the captured Long Saber Guard from afar, a hint of shock flashed through the sentries’ eyes.
“Captain of the Long Saber Guards, how could you?”
The expression of the Long Saber Guard, who was surrounded by the Orcs and Elven Warriors, changed slightly. He shook his head helplessly, and said, “You don’t need to worry about the current situation. Just go ahead and inform the clan leader of the current situation.”
The sentry was stunned for a moment, then he quickly nodded and said, “Someone has already gone over.”
As he spoke, the sentry’s gaze swept across the imposing Orcs and Elven warriors, and his expression became more and more horrified.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became silent and heavy.
To the Orcs and Elven Warriors, all they needed to do was to wait for Su Ming’s order and charge forward. That was why they were not interested in talking.
Chen Yixue, on the other hand, was constantly looking at the stronghold behind the sentries.
The sentries were a little shocked by the look in her eyes.
It was as if she was ready to lead her men and charge into the walled city at any time.
Su Ming stood where he was and waited for a while. Just as he started frowning slightly…
A capable and experienced figure, surrounded by a large group of people, quickly walked out of the walled city.
However, when he saw the capable and experienced figure’s face clearly, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Ming’s eyes.
Logically speaking, in this situation, the person at the very front should be the chief of the tribe.
At that moment, the person who was leading the crowd at the very front had completely exceeded Su Ming’s expectations.
She…was a woman?
The person was dressed in silver armor, and his hair was tied up in a high ponytail. His facial features were exquisite and heroic, and he had a decisive killing intent.
Su Ming frowned slightly and looked at the Long Saber Guard by his side.
“That’s your clan leader?”
Hearing this, the Long Saber Guard immediately nodded his head like pounding garlic.
Su Ming frowned again and looked at Dugu in surprise.
Once Dugu walked up to the warriors from the Elf Valley, he first swept his cold gaze across them before locking his eyes on Su Ming.
“Who are you?”
Dugu’s voice was very cold, like a piece of ice that would not melt for ten thousand years.
At the same time, her status panel also appeared before Su Ming.
[Dugu (head of the Long Wild Tribe)]
[Level: 50]
[Attack: 785]
[Defense: 400]
[Health points: 6000]
[Favorability: -10]
Su Ming looked at her character’s attributes on the system page. He was a little surprised by her high attack power, and at the same time, he was also shocked by her negative favorable impression points.
This was the first NPC Su Ming had met in the game who had a negative impression of him.
How should he put it? Su Ming’s feelings were a little complicated when he saw this.
Su Ming shook his head and cast aside all the messy thoughts in his head. He lifted his head and looked at Dugu, who was standing before him.
“You can just call me The Prophet.”
Dugu snorted coldly, “What Prophet? I just want to know why you kidnapped my people!
“Do you want to start a war with our Long Wild Tribe?!”
The moment Dugu said those words, the NPCs behind her immediately drew their weapons and looked in Su Ming’s direction with cold expressions.
A silent and somber aura gradually filled the field.
As if in response to Dugu’s words, countless roars and the clattering of armors were heard from within the stronghold.
The momentum of this scene, coupled with the setting sun and the little lights slowly lighting up behind him, was quite oppressive.
However, Su Ming had experienced so much in the game, so how could he be scared by a small NPC?
When Su Ming heard that, he first looked at Dugu, then chuckled and said, “Start a war? Are you sure?”
The moment Su Ming finished speaking, the Orcs behind him let out orderly and solemn battle roars that charged into the sky. They worked with the Elf archers to nock their arrows.
For a moment, the aura between the two sides was not weaker than the other.
When Su Ming saw that Dugu no longer threatened him and was only looking at him with a dark gaze, a faint smile appeared on his face.
“Actually, we didn’t come here to threaten you, nor do we want to be your enemies.”
When she heard that, a cold sneer appeared at the corners of Dugu’s lips. She swept his gaze across the Orcs and Elf soldiers beside Su Ming.
“Do you even believe your own words?”
Su Ming smiled and said, “Whether you believe me or not is up to you. But I don’t intend to take the initiative to attack you. That’s true.
“Your clansmen can also prove this point.”
As he spoke, Su Ming had the Elf Warriors bring out all the members of the Long Saber Guard.
Dugu narrowed her eyes.
Su Ming’s words were actually a threat to her.
If she dared to take the initiative to attack, the other party would definitely not show any mercy. At the same time, it was impossible for the Long Saber Guard to survive!
Thinking of this, Dugu’s expression changed slightly.
She took a deep breath and said coldly, “Tell me, what is your purpose in doing this?
“What do you want in exchange of our people’s lives?”
The Long Saber Guard’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
Just as he was about to speak, Su Ming’s gaze fell on him, and he immediately shut his mouth.
Su Ming swept his gaze across the field before he turned to look at Dugu. A smile appeared on his face once again.
“This doesn’t seem to be a good place to talk.”
…
15 minutes later.
At the entrance of the city, in a pavilion.
Su Ming and Dugu sat opposite each other, and their subordinates looked at each other from a distance.
For a moment, the two of them entered a quiet environment where no one would disturb them.
Su Ming cast her a glance, and his expression changed slightly.
