Chapter 787 - Showing Ones Face for the Mission (2/2)
Riel had promised to help Getaw become chief, and in exchange, Getaw would provide them with supplies and logistics.
Although the Rockfall tribe was only one of the various tribes in the Luhan Beastman civilization, they had a few planets under their control, which meant that they were rich in resources.
The time passed while waiting, and dozens of other chiefs of the Luhan Beastman took their seats. All had come to witness the election of the Rockfall Tribe Chief. When the time was almost up, Faleta loudly spoke.
“The time is almost up. Mogo, Getaw… everyone is to take their War Leagues onto the battlefield and select a position. Prepare for battle!”
Everyone snaked onto the battlefield like fish swimming before taking up a certain area, confronting the others.
Faleta was anxious as he looked at the time. Candidates who returned after the official start of the war were considered late and directly disqualified, but Harmon had not yet arrived.
At this moment, Riel stepped out under the command of Getaw, releasing his Grade A energy fluctuations. His momentum rose into the sky.
“Calamity Grade‽”
The other candidates’ faces changed dramatically.
Faleta was also shocked. As a star system civilization, the Luhan Beastman also had a dozen Calamity Grade Supers, of which three were in the stands. Getaw had brought a Calamity Grade into his own War League, and his strength immediately overwhelmed the other candidates.
At this time, two of the candidates on the battlefield suddenly threw down their weapons and raised their hands. This move represented surrender, and before they started fighting, the two men gave up their qualifications for the chieftain. While it might be shameful, they at least need not fight with a Calamity Grade and could keep the lives of themselves and their War Leagues.
There was a commotion in the stands as this happened.
“Are we really going to fight against a Calamity Grade?” Seeing the situation, the Bloodshed Land’s officer also started thinking of retreat. He threw his originally eloquent words into the clouds and beyond.
“Fight!” Mogo’s expression changed several times, but he gritted his teeth and held on tight to his war hammer.
“This… can I still give up now?” One of the Bloodshed Land warriors threw away his weapon, slowly retreating.
They were willing to help Mogo by being part of his War League due to their relationship, but they were not willing to throw their lives away.
Mogo’s expression was also extremely ugly.
On the other side, Getaw raised his eyebrows and exhaled, a proud expression on his face as he arrogantly surveyed the audience. Standing beside Riel, he had the feeling of being a false sense of dominance.
Faleta, who was in the stands, was astounded and conflicted. At this moment, Getaw’s father, who was at the side, opened his mouth.
“Chief, don’t try to stall for time. Let us start now.”
Getaw’s father was also an upper echelon of the tribe, and while he was usually quite low key, he was different this time.
It’s also good that Harmon is not back yet… Faleta sighed, and just as he was about to speak, a spaceship descended from the air, attracting the attention of the audience.
Whoosh.
The spacecraft landed in a corner of the battlefield. The hatch opened, and Harmon walked out with a group of people.
“Harmon is back!”
Many of the members from the Rockfall tribe felt their spirits get refreshed. Harmon was very prestigious in the tribe, and his bravery was recognized by the tribe members.
There was a flash of panic in Getaw’s eyes. Having been pummeled by Harmon all his life, he had a deep shadow in his heart. However, the moment he remembered Riel beside him, he regained his confidence and stared at Harmon with gritted teeth.
“It’s useless even if you come back. Whoever fights me today will die!”
Hearing the cheers from the stands, Riel knew that Harmon should be a competitor with some fame. He coldly snorted and revolved his strength, viciously pressuring Harmon and his group in an attempt to deter this group and force them to retreat.
At this moment, a voice sounded.
“Yo, little brother, you are a bit arrogant.”
From Harmon’s back, out walked several people. Han Xiao was at the very front, and he stared at Riel with a funny expression, as though watching a peacock challenge. His Black Star Guards that had expanded to nine people followed directly behind him.
Hila raised her brows and reversed the pressure in a flash.
The other party also has a Calamity Grade‽
Riel felt his chest tighten. He rubbed his eyes, and after taking a good look at Han Xiao and his entourage, he froze for a few seconds before suddenly turning pale and taking a few steps back, tumbling into Getaw’s chest.
“Black Black Black… Black Star‽”
He uncontrollably screamed out the name, and everyone’s gazes landed on Han Xiao and his group. Their expressions changed as well.
An uproar rose up in the stands. Everyone stared in shock, unable to believe their eyes.
That was… Black Star?
Beyond Grade A!
Harmon had actually invited a Beyond Grade A over‽
Faleta was dumbfounded.
Ding ding dang dang!
At this moment, all the competitors threw away their weapons.
Even Getaw quietly chose to forfeit, his heart extremely unwilling.
He had originally thought that being backed by a Calamity Grade would allow him to win the tribe chief’s status. To think that Harmon would actually invite a Beyond Grade A over!
Who would be able to win against him‽
Mogo said in a tiny voice, “If only His Excellency Tyrant was willing to help me…”
“Are you dreaming?” The Bloodshed Land officer looked at him with an expression as though he was looking at an idiot. “What kind of status does the Tyrant have? Would he even notice you?”
Mogo pointed at Han Xiao in return, causing the Bloodshed Land officer to be rendered speechless.
Seeing this, the spectators of the various tribes in the stands went crazy. This is the only time in the history of the Luhan Beastman that all candidates had abstained, and it is also the first time that a Beyond Grade A has become part of the candidate’s War League!
“Uh?” Harmon had a look of confusion. He scratched his head, still puzzled. “Why did all of them stop fighting? Is that it?”
Hearing this, everyone gritted their teeth, wishing nothing but to beat him to death.
A Beyond Grade A has arrived, and the gap in power is so huge. Why should we fight‽ Do you want all of us to die‽
“Just like that?” The interface showed the completion of the mission, and the players who followed almost fell over in disbelief.
They did not even do anything and only came here to see a cutscene. Their mission was completed like that?
We thought there would be a bitter battle!
The whole audience stared at him, causing Han Xiao to helplessly shake his head. With his current status, many low-level tasks could be completed directly by just showing his face.
It was good that he had gone to help Harmon get the chief’s position.
