Chapter 399: Chapter 401: The Newly Emerged Upper Race (9600 words)

The essence of war is the seizing of survival resources, and this principle hasn’t changed, whether in Glory or on Earth.

Lide’s assault on Black Iron Castle was based on the same logic; he would not cloak himself in any garment of justice, nor did he have any disdain for it.

Because the wars between races have never been about justice or injustice.

Wolves eat meat, sheep graze on grass, and any notions of kindness or justice become laughable when faced with the reality of the food chain.

But what one could be certain of is that even if Lide found himself within the food chain, he’d only ever be the top predator, never a lamb waiting for slaughter by others.

After he crushed the Level 18 Half-body City Lord, all the half-body nobles in the banquet hall were consumed by boundless fear.

The looks in their eyes toward Lide were filled with endless horror.

Transcendent, they could have never imagined—the city lord of Dawn City, who had always cooperated with them, had actually reached Transcendence!

Merely thinking of this term was enough to turn the rebellious will of the unsatisfied half-body nobles into nothingness.

Transcendence was not a force they could contend with. The entire power of Black Iron Castle could only prostrate and worship under the pressure of the transcendent crown.

Humans might muster the courage to charge at giant dragons, but ants certainly do not possess such bravery.

The moment Lide’s aura was unleashed, the fate of Black Iron Castle was already sealed.

“Lord Kachar, do you really wish to wage war against the Half-body race?

The Transcendent of Liusi City will definitely not stand by idly and watch Black Iron Castle be occupied…”

The Level 18 Great Mage, the half-body mage Mahari with graying hair, gritted his teeth as he spoke these words in defense of their dignity.

Although still enveloped by fear, as a spellcaster, he had his own pride.

Lide might be powerful, but he was not willing to submit just like that… The Half-body had its powerhouses, Liusi City had more than one Transcendent!

“Liusi City… Transcendent Half-body?”

Lide’s presence was like a mountain collapsing and the earth caving; he was like the center of a Level 12 storm, everything around him crumbled under the might he emitted.

His crimson eyes stared directly into those of the Great Mage Mahari, his tone cold as ice.

“Then, what of it?”

Their gazes locked.

The moment Mahari caught sight of those crimson pupils, he felt a chill rush from his spine straight into his mind.

Terror devoured everything.

In those blood-red eyes, he saw countless demons and evil spirits howling and screaming, lunging to pounce on him.

It was as if his soul was at that moment being devoured by Hell, being gazed upon by the Abyss.

All the hairs on his body stood up at that instant, and his legs even trembled.

Great terror!

In a state of extreme fear, Mahari stumbled backward three steps, accidentally tripping over a half-body collapsed on the ground behind him, and fell with a thud.

The barely gathered momentum dispersed like chaff in that instant.

Merely by making eye contact with Lide, the newly gathered will to resist crumbled immediately.

Upon witnessing this, Lide’s expression remained unchanged. An 18th Level Great Mage was no different from slaughtering pigs and sheep to him.

His gaze swept around the room, and every half-body who dared to meet his eyes was consumed by fear and their souls devoured. Some were even frightened into idiocy.

The Evil God descends upon the world.

“From today onwards, this city belongs to Dawn City.”

Lide’s indifferent tone was laced with domineering force and an undeniable might.

“Black Iron Castle will be renamed Twilight City.”

“And you all will become residents of Dawn City.”

Simple words, yet they conveyed massive implications.

Capturing Black Iron Castle and renaming it meant that Dawn City was truly making a move against the Underworld, against the Half-body!

And their reliance on Liusi City would no longer be a pillar of support because this figure had reached Transcendence.

Many half-body nobles exchanged glances, all seeing the same shock and bewilderment in each other’s eyes.

If one could argue that their city lord had gotten what he deserved earlier for provoking the vampire, now it was clear the other party had planned it all along.

But…even if they knew all this, what could they do?

A strong sense of powerlessness enveloped every half-elf’s mind.

After all, when had the weak ever had the right to choose?

Just at that moment, a thunderous boom suddenly erupted from outside, like the collapsing of heaven and earth.

Following the explosion were the sounds of war horns and countless battle cries.

Judging by the din, there must be an army of tens of thousands.

“Who is attacking Black Iron Castle?”

“Ah? Could it be Dawn City’s army has broken in?”

“These vampires, they must have been prepared for this…”

The half-body nobles shivered, the earth-shattering sounds of combat outside leaving them feeling helpless and despairing.

Upon hearing the noise outside, Lide quickly contained the oppressive presence that weighed on everyone’s hearts and took a seat at the main table.

He looked on indifferently.
