Lan's determination was indeed commendable.
It could be seen that this heavily armored girl, in addition to her determination, also had the courage to carry it out. Her freezing cold murderous intent showed that she had experienced the test of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and was by no means a person who could only talk big. In other words, now that Grey Mountain had withered, she was the only one left, but she alone was able to prop up Grey Mountain, which meant that her strength could not be underestimated.
However, even if more positive factors were considered, Wang Lu did not think that his situation could improve a bit. Among the five forces, Grey Mountain was the weakest, so weak that it could be destroyed at any time. Even Lan herself said that it was the other four forces that could form a delicate situation that no one dared to make a move at will! Only Golden City, Eternal Tree, and the other two forces could keep each other in check. As for Grey Mountain, it could really be trampled to death at any time. It was not even qualified to be an equal force in the competition.
Therefore, when he heard Lan sincerely expressed her determination to win the crown together with him, Wang Lu wanted to ask, "Based on what? Based on the number of people that Grey Mountain could count with his two fingers? Or based on your IQ that can't even calculate the fourteenth root of a sixteen-digit number? "
Confidence alone could not solve any problem. In this game with zero starting point, no doubt the sense of achievement would be far better than the normal situation, but the difficulty of victory was needless to say. In Wang Lu's view, the biggest and only chance in this game was that the other four forces were just puppets of the immortal dreamland, while he was the protagonist of this dreamland. When it came to the protagonist, it was not surprising to have a down-and-out opening. In the legendary story, all the powerful sages who had their marriage annulled at the beginning and were slapped in the face, all of them happily turned the tables and achieved an amazing feat — this was the protagonist's treatment. Of course, in this immortal dreamland, relying on the protagonist's halo to overcome everything was a moronic behavior. The so-called protagonist's treatment, in Wang Lu's view, only had one key point: the immortal dreamland would not deliberately create a deadly environment for the protagonist. The immortal dreamland might trap anyone, but it would not trap the protagonist. Although the current situation was desperate, in the future, there would certainly be a turning point. Otherwise, if the most powerful force, Golden City, couldn't think straight and launched an all-out attack on Grey Mountain, this game would be over...
But even so, in such a dangerous situation, if he wanted to turn the tables step by step, he had to be extra careful. He couldn't make a single mistake. For the current Wang Lu, the first step he had to take was to seize his authority as a leader from Lan.
This was the key to everything, and the biggest difficulty of this game was actually this. Wang Lu was used to leading a team to create miracles, but he had never experienced being led by someone else. This was because he had always believed in one thing: An incompetent general would tire the army to death. He would rather fight alone than have an incompetent leader above him. Perhaps Lan was not an incurably stupid person. Not being able to calculate a sixteen-digit number was not a sin that could not be redeemed by death. But compared to this grim game, Haze indeed didn't have the ability to lead them to victory.
"Lan, if you really want to win, then promise me one thing."
Lan nodded her head. "Please say it."
"Throw away your master identity, become my follower, and follow my leadership with ease."
"In your dreams!" Lan did not hesitate to reject Wang Lu's proposal, and there was an obvious unpleasant expression on her face.
Wang Lu was not surprised by this. How could there be a leader in this world who was willing to obediently throw away his authority? Regarding Lan's unpleasant expression, Wang Lu just sneered and asked, "Do you think with your ability, it's possible for you to win the five blood spirit crown? Right now, your only hope is me. Whether it's force or intelligence, only I have the qualification to be the leader. "
Lan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Yes, perhaps your intelligence and force are above me, but I can't just hand over the leadership to someone else. In view of your previous behavior, I can't completely trust you. Who knows if you will surrender to other forces or not? Therefore, if you think your ability is higher than mine, and if you have any good strategy, you can honestly put it out, I will seriously consider adopting it. "
Wang Lu interrupted, "Yes, this is indeed the safe way, but do you think you have the qualification to choose the safe way? Right now, in this five party power struggle, Gray Mountain is already at an absolute disadvantage. In this case, only by recklessly gambling can we grab a chance. Seeking stability? That's the privilege of Golden City! "
Lan deeply frowned and said nothing.
"At present, there are only you and me in Gray Mountain, do you still want to add internal friction in this situation? Interesting, I now understand why Gray Mountain could fall to this point from its former reputation of being on par with Golden City. "
The girl was still silent. She just kept staring at Wang Lu with her pair of clear eyes. Only when the latter began to consider the fee did she gently open her cherry lips. "Very well, as you said, from now on, our master-servant relationship is terminated, and I will seriously listen to your instructions as long as it helps us win the five blood spirit crown."
The girl's decisiveness was beyond the expectation of Wang Lu. He thought that it would take some effort to persuade Lan to give up the master-servant contract, but unexpectedly, after the girl made her decision, she didn't hesitate at all.
And as she declared the termination of the master-servant relationship, on the back of the girl's right hand, a red light flashed and then quickly dispersed. At the same time, Wang Lu felt that the invisible binding force on his body also disappeared.
The girl was serious in her work, not a delaying tactic. Wang Lu quite appreciated this. With a decisive teammate, at least he didn't have to worry that when he needed her, she would hesitate for all kinds of bullshit reasons and waste a good opportunity. Moreover, once this kind of person made a decision, it would not be easy to change it. Thus, Wang Lu didn't need to spend his mind on internal strife and could really free his hands to deal with the enemy.
Originally, he thought that he would have to go through a lot of twists and turns, but now that he had passed this critical juncture, Wang Lu wanted to say something, but when he remembered that the back of the girl's hand flashed several times, he didn't know why, but he had a bad feeling.
"So, what was that on the back of your hand?"
Lan explained seriously, "It's a blood charm obtained from performing a blood sacrifice summoning. It can be used to control and strengthen the summoned blood spirit."
"… Wait, what did you say about control and … What?"
"Strengthen," Lan explained. "Every summoner receives a different number of blood charms according to the blood sacrifice ritual. The blood charm is used to forcibly control the blood spirit, and if this control is used properly, it can strengthen the summoner. For example, I can use a blood charm to force you to listen to my instructions, and I can also use it to order you to do something that you can't normally do. "
Wang Lu immediately understood the use of the blood charm, but after understanding it, he was even more shocked.
"This is clearly a treasure that can be used at a critical moment to turn the tables. You actually used two to suppress me?"
Lan's expression was calm and even seemed to be in the right. "As you said, when there are only two of us, we can't have any internal friction, and an uncontrollable servant is not acceptable."
"… So in order to reduce internal friction, you didn't hesitate to use two precious blood charms? How is this different from setting up an office to eliminate redundant staff in a governing organization? No wonder you're reduced to a commander without an army … By the way, how many blood charms do you have? "
Lan said, "After the blood sacrifice of the remaining dozens of soldiers on Gray Mountain, I obtained five blood charms. Two of them were used to suppress your mutation …"
"So there are three more?"
"No, in order to completely remove our master-servant relationship, I scattered the remaining three."
"… Scattered, scattered!?"
Wang Lu couldn't believe his ears. He widened his eyes and looked the girl up and down, trying to find evidence that she was not mentally retarded.
"Yes." Lan stared back at him confidently. "Didn't you persuade me to throw away my identity as the master and listen to your instructions? After weighing the pros and cons, I decided to believe you. Are you going to blame me for this? "
Wang Lu was silent for a long time. It took him a lot of effort to convince himself not to care too much about a mentally retarded person. In any case, the current situation was already bad enough. There was no need to worry about the loss of a few blood talismans when there were too many lice to bite and too many debts to worry about.
"So, what are we going to do next, earth spirit?"
"Earth spirit … what a good name." Wang Lu shook his head and then said, "The first thing is to leave this place as soon as possible. Although there are still many doubts about this five blood spirit crown power struggle, but from common sense, I'm afraid someone will soon come to our door, and it's not suitable for us to immediately fight with the other four sides. "
Lan asked, "Come to our door?"
"Of course. Golden City, Eternal Tree, Harmony River, and Flaming Valley, these four sides check and balance each other, so I'm afraid no one will easily make the first move. However, it's different to deal with Gray Mountain. Given the disparity in strength, we're simply a piece of dessert. As long as they can swallow me, the earth spirit, before the other three, they will have a bit more initiative in the confrontation. If it were me, I would also come to harvest as soon as possible. "
Lan thought for a moment, nodded to show her understanding, and then asked, "So where are we going?"
As she spoke, she didn't seem to be reluctant to leave Gray Mountain.
"During the competition for the blood crown, we shouldn't have the ability to sense each other's position, right?"
Lan said, "At least I don't."
"Very good, I don't have it either, so let's assume that the others don't have it either … For a two-person team like us, having fewer people is both a disadvantage and an advantage, because it's easy to hide. As long as we can hide, it's impossible for the other four to not fight for a lifetime. When they fight, we'll have the opportunity to reap the benefits. "
Lan nodded in agreement.
However, at the same time, a strange and slightly frivolous voice came from outside the hall.
"Reap the benefits? That's not good, right? "
At the entrance of the hall, a tall figure, carrying a huge spear on his back, slowly walked in. Although his pace was light, the gloomy murderous aura was like a substance, which extinguished the torches in the hall one by one.
