Chapter 474 - 474 474 Grey-Skinned Lizardman

474: Chapter 474 Grey-Skinned Lizardman 474: Chapter 474 Grey-Skinned Lizardman “Lord Zhao Guang, this is a violation of the noble agreement, the noble agreement stipulates…”

Another person stepped forward and said loudly, but before he could finish, someone covered his mouth.

Zhao Guang looked coldly at the person, “What were you trying to say?

Let him continue.”

“No, they don’t want to say anything; he’s just drunk and not thinking straight.” Drunk?

In such times they can’t even afford food, yet he drinks?

Clearly, that’s nonsense.

The man calmed down as well, sweating coldly under Zhao Guang’s icy gaze.

Years of pent-up resentment had burst forth without thought.

However, as he calmed down, he realized he was in trouble.

Fortunately, he hadn’t said everything; otherwise, he would have been doomed.

The noble agreements are numerous and often contradictory.

Using it to make his point could be easily countered by others.

The key issue was, offending a viscount would ultimately lead him nowhere.

Looking at the others around him, he completely gave up.

“We agree, please send someone to escort us back,” Gu Liqi said helplessly, having no choice but to agree.

Zhao Guang waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

As they were leaving, the man whispered, “Why did you all stop me?

If we all stand together, even a viscount would have to make some concessions, right?”

As pioneering lords, their sheer numbers could indeed give them some say.

“What do you think this place is?

This is the borderland, not the domain of great nobles nor the interior of the Empire.”

Gu Liqi looked at the man as if he were an idiot, known well for his lack of sense, yet to the extent of such foolishness was unexpected.

Now, Gu Liqi no longer maintained the façade of harmony; things had already gone too far.

“What do you mean?

Surely he wouldn’t dare to do anything to us.”

“Hmph, this is the borderland; it’s all wilderness around us.

Even if we die, all they have to do is blame it on the magic beasts.

With our abilities, dying to magic beasts wouldn’t be unusual, would it?”

Gu Liqi’s chilling words rattled the man, whose face instantly turned pale.

Right, he had only thought about the potential ruin of his career, the impossibility of a comeback.

But now, realizing that speaking out of turn could cost them their lives…

They had understood quite a bit during this time; they were nearly at breaking point with the Marquis.

The crowd fell silent, silently waiting for someone to take them back.

After all, retreating might still offer a chance.

But continuing the dispute here was unthinkable.

For Zhao Guang, this was merely a minor interruption, hardly significant; he would better spend his time delving into his spell issues.

Lately, his magic power seemed to be increasing rapidly.

With his increasingly powerful mind, his ability to study spells was also strengthening.

Recently, he had mastered instantaneous movement, significantly enhancing his magic power again.

Moreover, controlling undead, he had now elevated it to the level of intermediate spells.

Meaning, with the corpse of an intermediate warrior, he could create an undead of equivalent warrior level.

Even among undead mages, his strength was considered quite good.

Unfortunately, this object couldn’t be used in this world, otherwise being treated as a fallen undead mage would have been problematic.

When he returned, he would experiment with its effects on Earth, perhaps finding a way to safely use it.

While Zhao Guang was immersed in his research, new developments occurred at the border.

With part of the fortress completed, the Ronin now had a temporary place to live, with conditions much improved from before.

Moreover, with the protection of the city walls, they could attract magic beasts to combat, making their lives easier.

Some human warriors, especially the archers, had already been dispatched there, and the outpost was becoming increasingly well-staffed.

But today, it seemed that not only magic beasts had come running.

A large, dense crowd was sprinting this way and lo, these were lizardmen.

“Stop, this is Xuanwu Territory, state your purpose here.”

The individuals exchanged glances, and finally, a tall lizardman stepped forward, “Hello, I am Edos, the chief of the Grey Skin Lizardmen.

We apologize; we have not heard of Xuanwu Territory.

Might I ask, is Xuanwu Territory very powerful?”

These words instantly offended everyone, and Xi Fei stepped forward, saying, “Lizardman, are you provoking us?”

As she spoke, flames burst forth from her body.

Now, Xi Fei was very close to becoming an advanced magician.

Feeling the power of those flames, all the lizardmen’s eyes lit up; having such a high-level magic user indicated the new territory was indeed very powerful.

“Sorry, we just want to ensure whether your territory can protect us.”

“We do not protect outsiders,” Elena also stepped forward.

Seeing the formidable werewolf and the surrounding wolf cavalry who had emerged, the lizardmen actually felt better.

“I wasn’t clear; we originally lived on the edge of Plague Swamp, but recently the undead mages have gone mad, capturing us to turn into undead.

We could not survive and had to move south.”

“If your strength is not enough to confront those undead mages, then please flee with us.

If your territory is strong enough, we are willing to submit and join you.”

The attitude was indeed forceful, but it was evident these lizardmen were desperate.

After all, Xuanwu Territory loomed directly ahead; if they were stopped here, the lizardmen would be doomed.

Yet upon inspection, there were indeed a lot of them—over five thousand, a vast, dense crowd.

Moreover, it was known that the physical strength of lizardmen far surpassed that of normal humans.

If all of them joined, whether for developing the territory or other matters, it would be a massive boon.

Furthermore, lizardmen were formidable fighters, especially in swampy battles.

“Our strength is indeed very strong, but whether we allow you to join, that’s something up to our lord.”

So this place wasn’t the heart of the territory after all; they still had a lord.

Edos lay on the ground, “Please take me to meet Lord.” This posture indicated their true willingness to submit.

Both Xi Fei and Elena could see that, a formality of beastmen.

The two exchanged glances, then Xi Fei said, “I’ll take him back with me.”
