Chapter 334: Win Without Fighting (1/2)
The Sky-Breaking Canyon was a row of tall suyuan City from Lafesta City The southwest side of the canyon, which connected to Zhongsuyuan City, was a high cliff The location was always surrounded by clouds Hidden soroup of clouds was an ancient city, which had been reduced to ruins The Cloudy City was the name people used to refer to it
Once a year, so people to cliressive flying monsters At the sa people could hunt it to obtain Qi of Little Bird On the other hand, the slope on the northeast side of the canyon was easier to travel In order to reach the Magic Kingdosuyuan City to Colossia City, then went north
Doing so, however, players would have to pick one of the two options—the left or right side of Skull Mountain Pass There were obstacles and dangers lurking in both choices, but the difficulty depended on a player's aptitude
Choosing left, players travel along a wide, long slope, facing various kinds of bird-type y types varied by species These monsters are quite fast and they can fly freely, so the players have to keep that inas a team, or ones confident in their speed If they reach three-fourths of the way to the canyon, they will be able to spot a cloudy road leading to Lafesta City
Going right, on the other hand, means the distance is half that of the left side's However, the route is narrow and co players to vertically clioblins, who settled in numerous small caves on the side of the mountain These caves have narrow entrances, but the structure inside is deep and complex like ain using various tools and weapons, including bows, spears, swords, metal balls, or even boreat, which proves to be troublesouerrilla warfare and a this route must be quite confident in their solid defense since space is li them to receive attacks head-on They also have to be oblins don't hesitate to push the fro, so so double suicides
Meether on the Sky-Breaking Canyon, and they have a neutral relationshi+p The birds live on the oblins live inside their caves hidden in the canyon They are neighbors who agreed not to meddle in each other's business They live their own lives and rarely interact
This day was very special, however The representatives of both races gathered in the same place, on a certain small cliff, in order to decide the fate of their races and most of the players in Monster Soul
There were a total of six Bird Kings, each of theely colorful feathers, with one having violet, one having indigo, one having blue, another having green, one of the, or else the set would be cos of Goblins Their appearances were exactly the sah It's just that all oblin race share siures, each wearing crooked metal armor One of them had a mace behind his back while the other had a hatchet and a shi+eld hanging fro one was a white-haired young e staff, or maybe a spear, rested on his shoulder The tip of the beautiful weapon was a spearhead-like red jewel, constantly eolden Just its presence alone exuded a great sense of pressure
The ht Lord Rank her, they ary of him, especially since his status was technically that of an E but shrouded in co of this day, the news about the Shadow Arreatly troubled Montra The more he was troubled, however, the more likely his enemies would think that he wouldn't dare to make histo turn a crisis into an opportunity
This very day happened to be the day Sila raided Zhongsuyuan City Montra coincidentally picked the sa defense while delivering a heavy blow to each other
“Just to be sure, we don't have to become your pets or forht?” asked the Goblin King who carried a mace
“I want neither pets nor followers Today we are just exchanging e can offer Tomorroe may join forces or become foes, but the deal we make today won't be invalid I won't talk about repossession”
The Great Lightning Eagle in a blue coat scoffed “The Sky Eed to us, the bird race, as a sacred object You robbed it from us, so it's only proper for you to return it Why must we follow your conditions?”
“I didn't borrow it, I obtained it with my own ability On top of that, the bird race was unable to fully utilize the ability of the Sky Emerald However, now that it has been in the possession of someone from the human race, if I return it to you, the bird race will be able to unleash its full power The six of you can awaken your doret thisequally valuable”
“Let ht You simply want us to do that one task you spoke of in order for you to return the Sky Emerald to us After the deal is done, however, ill be like strangers, correct?”
Montra nodded “You got that right”
The six kings looked at each other and started discussing in private Montra illing to wait He knew that they would eventually accept the deal His offer was so irresistible for them
“We accept” The reply came after the discussion Montra nodded and read aloud his side of the bargain for the second time
“You have to destroy Belacia City in the north within seven days in return for this” Montra tossed the last Ges “I know the bird race keeps their word, so I will let you have it froo Even if you fail to destroy Belacia City within seven days, you don't have to return it toit Since Montra placed his trust in them that much, they would naturally have to keep their word
“Within seven days, we assure you Belacia City will be nothing but rubble Residing near that place is Gigan, the Firebird King, who betrayed our kins away after that, so this matter is half personal We will start is of Birds soared into the sky and screeched loudly to gather their subordinates Millions of birds soon left their nests Their ht if it wasn't the ly fast Before the dawn of the next day, Belacia City would already be under assault
One of the Goblin Kings spoke up, “What we are about to give you is the secret that our race has been guarding for a long ti never once told an outsider You are the first, and we really hope you won't pass it on”
“Certainly I will only use the intel for myself Even if I can't make use of it, I assure you I won't tell anyone else,” Montra promised “To show you ht now”
Montra offered Colossia City to the goblin race As a oblins Even the buildings, including the Colosseuly appearances, but kind hearts When foreign outsiders such as players caoblins had welcoe, iven the players their support However, as the nuressive goblins as weaklings Coupled with their ugly appearances, players claioblins away frooblins were innocent creatures At first, they thought there was so, so they backed off to te Canyon It took them a while before they finally realized that hu Colossia City was an iic location on the Main Continent where one could travel to and fro it suitable for trading and ainst humans from that point onward
