"What?" Seeing the sudden appearance of Li Huailin, the four of them were stunned.
"A teleportation mark?" The first one to react was Hoppes. He closed his eyes slightly and as expected, he discovered a teleportation mark on his body. Earlier on, as the two of them had been fighting in a rather tight tempo, he hadn't had the time to sense something like this. In the end, Li Huailin had caught up to him.
Of course, what he didn't know was that Li Huailin hadn't just left a mark on his body. Earlier on, when they were dealing with the Divine Race, some members of the Divine Race had already discovered it and seemed to be able to remove this teleportation mark. Therefore, in order to be safe, Li Huailin had also left a mark on a Saint-level expert beside him. However, he hadn't discovered Hoppes either, so he had used Hoppes' mark to teleport over.
"You …" When Hoppes saw Li Huailin, he had a strong urge to eat him up. Of course, he was still holding back his anger. Yes, Li Huailin was alone now. However, Hoppes didn't attack Li Huailin directly. Li Huailin wasn't an idiot. For him to appear here, he must have made preparations. Although Hoppes didn't know what preparations he had, it shouldn't be that simple.
"Yo, yo, yo, it seems like you still want to struggle." Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "Seems like you haven't convinced them to listen to your commands, right? Seems like I've come a little too early. Why are you so slow? I thought you had already settled it. It's fine, I'll wait for you. You can continue. Don't worry, I won't interrupt."
As he spoke, Li Huailin made a 'please' gesture. This naturally made Hoppes even more furious. "What's the meaning of this?"
"I feel that there might be something wrong with your intelligence," Li Huailin said with a smile. "You still can't tell who's the winner?"
"Do you think you've already won? It's true that you have a great advantage now. I admit that I've underestimated you, but I didn't … "Before Hoppes could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Huailin.
"It's not that I have a great advantage. I'm certain that I've already won." Li Huailin said indifferently, "Do you think that by convincing these three Saint-ranked experts to go against me, you'll have a chance to turn the tables? It's not that I want to say this, but you don't understand at all. Come, I'll give you a chance to make you feel even more despair. "
After saying that, Li Huailin turned to the three Saint-ranked powerhouses and said, "Don't think too much about it. Just listen to him. You should know the rules of this duel. If you listen to this guy's orders, he might even revive you. Isn't that a good thing for you?"
After saying that, Li Huailin did not wait for the few Saint-level experts to reply. He turned to Hoppes and said, "What else do you want to say? I'll help you persuade them."
"You … What do you mean?" Hoppes was slightly stunned as well.
"Do you still not understand? Right now, these three fellas are no longer the main point. Let me remind you that even if these three people help you, according to the rules, they are still on my side. And the winning rule determined by the system is not to kill the number of enemies but to occupy land. Even if the three of them listen to your orders, will they be able to help you occupy land? "Li Huailin spread his hands." So, do you understand now? Who can help you occupy land? "
"What … Wait a minute, could it be that you …" Hearing Li Huailin's hint, Hoppes suddenly seemed to have understood something and looked at Li Huailin in astonishment.
"Looks like you've thought it through. Yes, when you just left, I've already gotten those few Saint-level experts to start clearing up the people on your side. Although there are many of them, they are all just commoners or ordinary soldiers. Moreover, they are all gathered in one place, so it's easier for them to deal with them with their abilities. "Of course, because of your special ability, I've also gotten those few people to crush them as much as possible when clearing them up so that you won't be able to revive when you return. After they're done, those few Saint-level experts will also fly to a place where you won't be able to find them. Do you understand? The people who will help you occupy land are already gone. May I ask what you're going to rely on to turn the tables? "Li Huailin said calmly.
"You!" Hoppes instantly panicked and subconsciously wanted to take off to rush back. However, before he could move, he was stopped by Li Huailin.
"Forget it. There's still about ten minutes left. What can you do even if you rush back to stop them?" Li Huailin said, spreading his hands. "There's not enough time."
Yes, just like that, Li Huailin had dragged out quite a lot of time. Now, there were about 15 minutes left before the system would declare that Li Huailin had won. Moreover, Hoppes' men hadn't even stepped out of the main gate yet. Even if Hoppes could immediately gather his troops and rush out, they probably wouldn't be able to stop Li Huailin from winning.
Yes, right now, Li Huailin had not only occupied 17 territories. Although there was no notification from the system, Li Huailin's troops hadn't encountered any obstructions at all. Therefore, they had been advancing all the way. They still didn't know what was going on. Therefore, occupying a territory would give them 50 points. Therefore, they had been advancing all the way. Therefore, Li Huailin's side had already occupied over 20 territories. In the remaining time, if Hoppes wanted to turn the tables, it wouldn't be possible for him to take back one territory. He had to take back seven to eight territories at once to be able to stop Li Huailin's countdown to victory. However, it was very obvious that just occupying a territory would take five minutes. Therefore, unless Hoppes had over ten Saint-level experts under him and headed to various locations at the same time to help him rapidly occupy the territories, he wouldn't lose. But now, not to mention over ten Saint-level experts, there wasn't even a single Saint-level expert who could help him occupy a territory.
Of course, there might still be some strange tactics. For example, he could convince these three Saint-level experts and then get them to bring their own people to fly over, then clear up the territory and let that person occupy it. But now, Li Huailin was clearing up his people. Moreover, Li Huailin had more Saint-level experts under him than him. Wouldn't Li Huailin stop him? Moreover, there wasn't much time left. After thinking for a long time, Hoppes still couldn't think of any solution.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Suddenly, Hoppes bellowed, "I … I'm the Undead Emperor Hoppes! How can I lose to a human like you!? This is impossible! "
"Alright, stop being an idiot." Li Huailin spoke lightly. "Since you're an Undead Emperor, even if you lose, you should at least lose with some dignity. Don't you think it's a bit too unsightly to lose like this? Do you really think it's fun to yell like a mad dog?"
"…" Hoppes was slightly stunned when he heard this. He looked at Li Huailin and then suddenly calmed down. "You're right … I've lost."
"Very good." Li Huailin nodded. Hearing the other party admit defeat, he heaved a sigh of relief. That's right. In theory, Hoppes still had some possibility of turning the tables. The biggest problem was that Li Huailin didn't know which side the Undead soldiers Hoppes had revived belonged to. Of course, he was referring to which side the soldiers on Hoppes' side belonged to when they were revived. If they belonged to Hoppes' side, then Hoppes could convince these three Saint-level experts and get them to go to the frontlines to kill a wave of soldiers. Hoppes would then quickly activate his resurrection skills and revive the people to occupy the territory. That way, there might still be a chance of turning the tables.
Of course, this was under the condition that Li Huailin didn't interfere at all. In reality, it was already impossible for Hoppes to turn the tables in such a short amount of time. Li Huailin didn't need to come here in the first place. He didn't come here just to mock Hoppes, but for other reasons.
"So, you know why I'm here, right?" Li Huailin asked.
"You … want to know about the Divine King?" Hoppes asked. That's right. Before the duel started, Li Huailin and Hoppes had made a promise. If Li Huailin defeated Hoppes, then Hoppes would tell Li Huailin about the Divine King. Considering that Hoppes might just die after the duel ended, Li Huailin had come here a little earlier to ask Hoppes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to come.
"Now, tell me what you know," Li Huailin said.
"It's no wonder the Divine King holds you in such high regard …" Hoppes also said. "I know what you want to know, but I don't know much about that guy either."
"You should also know about the war that happened 100 years ago, right?" Hoppes said. "Back then, I obtained unparalleled power after obtaining the divine sword. For a period of time, there was no one in the world who was a match for me. I kept on waging wars, and I won every single one of them. Even when all my opponents joined forces, I didn't have any fear back then. That was until that guy appeared."
"You're talking about the Divine King?" Li Huailin asked.
"No, I'm talking about Shang Wennuo, the other wielder of the divine sword," Hoppes said. "Back then, I also didn't expect that there would be another wielder of the divine sword other than myself. And under his hands, I failed the first time I tried. His divine sword's abilities were a great counter to me, and the army of the dead souls suffered a defeat for the first time.
"And after suffering a defeat, I started to have some doubts about myself. My strength was brought about by the divine sword, and the strength of my opponents was also due to the divine sword. In the end, it wasn't our power. Yes, I feared the divine sword's great power, and I also desired to obtain such power. Back then, I was lost. I was no longer bothered about the revival of the dead souls or the glory of our race. It was because I'd seen that level of power, and all these were no longer important, "Hoppes said.
"However, although I desired it, how was I to obtain the divine sword's power? Back then, I also made some attempts, but I didn't gain anything. It was then that they appeared before me," Hoppes said. "Yes, that was the Divine King … and …"
