However, Renault was still furious. Couldn't these d * mned bastards be a little more professional? It was fine if they robbed at all times of the day and night. It didn't matter if he worked a little harder. More importantly, the resources that they robbed in the wee hours of the morning could be sold in the afternoon!
You can't just ignore your IQ just because you're black!
Oasis, Katchirda City's city wall construction site.
Barmi received his breakfast. Just like yesterday, it was still meat buns made of wheat flour, but there was an extra bowl of preserved meat porridge. According to the supervisor, Sha Zhou, this was a special treatment on Sundays. Anyway, the people of the Federation were weird.
He really hoped that Lord Caramel would come in soon. The people here were really rich and stupid. He wanted to rob them of all their money. Oh right, there were women too. Last night, Barmi saw the women in the Blessed Oasis from afar. He had been dreaming about them the whole night. He thought that after Lord Caramel came in, he might be rewarded with a chance to get intimate with Lord Caramel as a reward for becoming an official member.
If that was the case, he would be even more devoted to Lord Caramel in the future.
As he ate his breakfast happily, Barmi leaned on the city wall and looked at the sand dunes in the distance. He suddenly realized that it was too quiet today. No desert bandits came looking for trouble.
Then, he saw a group of people coming over from the farthest hill.
It was the Caramel Desert Bandits! The one walking in front was his introducer, Maica. He came from the same village as Barmi and was the strongest warrior in the village. He was also Lord Caramel's personal guard.
Barmi had the vision of an eagle. This was why he was arranged to be a spy here. When he saw Maica's face, Barmi's heart immediately raced. Thanks to Katchirda for giving him a sumptuous breakfast, he was now full of energy. He knew which part of Katchirda's half-built city wall was the easiest to break through. He also knew where the Federation hid the best items. He was going to make a great contribution.
Eh, why is the leader a little baldy carrying a coffin? Is that a slave captured by the Federation?
Ah, why are the slaves fine, but the Federation's hands are tied with ropes? To be precise, all of them are strung together?
"Cough, cough. If we can fill our stomachs, why bother robbing?"
Ba Mi turned around and saw the old supervisor called Sha Zhou standing behind him. He seemed to be mumbling to himself.
The news of the Caramel Desert Bandits being kidnapped and brought into Katchirda City shook the entire southwest region of the desert overnight.
All of a sudden, the desert bandits in the entire southwestern desert fell into a situation where they had no leader. The threat that the desert bandits posed to Katchirda had been disintegrated …
However, Gong Yi had the urge to cry. Without being robbed, Katchirda would no longer have a source of cheap labor. With so many things waiting to be done, what better labor force could there be than slaves?
Mu Zi felt very innocent in the face of Gong Yi's vexation. He had only felt that this group of people had some standards. In order to avoid causing trouble for the village, he had casually killed them …
On the other hand, as the main enemy and once the most influential person in this territory, Lord Caslort was filled with malice and anticipation as he watched Katchirda grow stronger day by day.
Of course, Caslort knew the value of the Golden Stone Slab. In fact, there was no need for him to hand it over at all. This thing was a powerful weapon to recruit experts.
Originally, he wanted to use it to win over Moyus, but of course, he couldn't use it now. Later on, he delayed it for a month because he wanted to use it to exchange for Moyus' master's help. However, the Tsar's whereabouts were hard to track, so he didn't manage to delay it in the end. However, it didn't matter. Katchirda, who had "stolen" the Golden Stone Slab, wouldn't be able to escape the same fate.
This was because the Tsar would eventually be found. When he found out that his disciple was killed and the Golden Stone Slab was stolen, how furious would this top-notch expert be?
Caslort was elated. In the end, this place would still be his world.
"Lord, His Excellency the Tsar is almost at the door."
A slave ran in and said while bowing.
Caslort bounced up and ran out quickly. He also wanted to meet this legendary figure.
Scorpion King Moyus' master, a Heavenly Soul Stage expert! Tsar Naye Seleket!
Caslort rushed out of the door and saw the Tsar riding a camel. He looked like an ordinary Tutankhamun man. He had black skin, ordinary facial features, and a ponytail that the Tutankhamun people liked. The only difference was his eyes. They seemed to be able to devour souls. Caslort didn't dare to look at them for too long.
"Lord Caslort, I heard that you were looking for me for something urgent. I hope it's true. Otherwise, you will know the price," Naye Seleket said calmly.
"Dear Tsar, how can I waste your precious time? First of all, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please take a look. If there's anything else you need, please let me know."
Caslort took out a sheepskin scroll from his pocket. It was a gift list.
The reason why Naye Seleket was called the 'Tsar' was because he was the nominal ruler of the desert bandits. Even the Emperor of Tutankhamun couldn't command the desert bandits. However, Naye Seleket did it with his bloodthirst. He was the emperor of all desert bandits.
Like all desert bandits, Naye Seleket's greed wouldn't diminish after he reached the Heavenly Soul Stage. On the contrary, cultivation at the Heavenly Soul Stage required a lot of resources. In the barren Tutankhamun, plundering was the best way.
The Tsar looked at the gift list and nodded. "Tell me."
"Your disciple, Moyus, was killed by the Federation people in Katchirda."
"Moyus is dead?" The Tsar frowned, but he wasn't as angry as Caslort imagined. He was just a little surprised.
Caslort nodded. He was already prepared for the Tsar's coldness. So, he threw out the news that he had been preparing for more than a month. "Yes, Moyus died bravely in battle. He fought to protect the Golden Stone Slab that I wanted to give to the Tsar, but …"
Boom!
Before Caslort could finish his performance, a huge force lifted him up from the ground. His whole body was suspended in mid-air, and he faced the Tsar's fiery eyes. "What did you say?! The Golden Stone Slab? Where is it?! "
Caslort pretended to be shocked and shouted, "Yes, Your Excellency. That was to be given to you, but now, the Golden Stone Slab is in Katchirda!"
A hint of pride flashed in his eyes. It wasn't a big deal to get someone else to do his dirty work as long as it was useful.
"Haha, you want to use me to get rid of your enemy?"
The Tsar's greedy eyes were filled with danger. Caslort was a feudal lord after all, so he was still able to keep his cool. "Your Excellency, that is our common enemy!"
After a while, Naye Sealket smiled. He pointed to the list of gifts written on the parchment and said, "Very well, since you fear me, I will satisfy you. First, bring me the things on this list. Also, find me ten beauties first."
Caslort let out a long breath. He knew that his aristocratic status as a feudal lord had saved his life once again. Even the Tsar didn't want to completely fall out with the powerful Tutankhamun royal family. However, Katchirda was doomed. No one could resist the Tsar's attack, not even that strange little baldy!
In the Holy Land, as Solomon and the others entered the arena, there was a burst of applause from the spectator stands. However, there were more chatter and discussion.
Scarlet had been away for half a year and hadn't returned. The amazement she had when she first entered the Holy City had actually faded away in many people's hearts. On the other hand, Solomon had been in the limelight recently.
He was the first newcomer to advance to become a Dimensional Predator. He had single-handedly changed the Holy City's higher-ups' impression of the Empire and changed their strategy. Less than two months after the start of the novice period, he had arranged for more than 100 people from the Empire to enter the Holy City. Be it ordinary apprentices or Holy Disciples, they might not understand the meaning behind this, but anyone who was concerned about the Holy City's higher-ups' policies knew that such a method could be said to be earth-shattering.
One could say that it was his luck, but it could also be said that it was just a general trend. However, it was undeniable that Solomon had accomplished what countless decision-makers of the Empire on Earth had wanted to do but had failed to do. Furthermore, he had done it so quietly and efficiently that most people didn't even realize what kind of ability he had.
It had to be said that Solomon had now firmly secured his position as the number one newcomer. Even Carolyn, who was in the limelight at the moment, couldn't compete with him. This wasn't an evaluation from the outside world. Even their own people weren't confident about this. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten Gui Hao to share Carolyn's pressure. It was unknown if Stuart regretted this deal. If not for Solomon, Carolyn would definitely be unrivaled in the Holy Land and greatly increase Stuart's influence. However, everything was in vain now.
However, this only represented Solomon's ability. In the stands, other than a few people from the Phantom Squadron that he had joined, as well as some dimensional humans and aliens who didn't have any feelings about the difference between the Empire and the Federation, most of the people in the stands were from the Federation. It was natural for them to not give him face.
Napier Mo had been watching very carefully. If Mo Wen was as heavy as a mountain, then Wang Zhong was as deep as the sea, while Solomon was as unpredictable as the wind.
"Senior, what do you think of this person?" Grai seemed to be quite interested in Solomon. He was rarely interested in outsiders.
"What?" Wang Zhong was completely absent-minded. He had just received a Skylink message from Lan Daier, warning Wang Zhong to perform well in the competition. She said that she had brought a mysterious beauty with her and was watching him from the stands. She had already praised him, and if he didn't perform well, she would send him a bug feast x5.
Bug feast x5 … Even Wang Zhong couldn't help but shiver when he heard this. What beauty was so mysterious? Wang Zhong was busy looking for that beautiful figure in the vast sea of people in the stands and didn't notice Solomon at all.
"I want to hear Senior's opinion on Solomon." Grai chuckled. Only Wang Zhong would be so indifferent to this challenge.
"It's not good to have too many spectators." Wang Zhong sighed, scratched his head, and decided to give up. "Oh right, what did you say just now? Solomon? I don't have any opinion. Yes, he's quite handsome."
"… Oh, no, nothing." Even Grai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "He's calling my name …"
"Yes! Go for it! "Wang Zhong waved his fist at him.
At this time, most of the champions had already taken their seats. Solomon, Carolyn, Hyde Alexander, Vladimir … The cheers in the stands had never stopped since Carolyn appeared. Compared to the people of the Empire who had risen to power, whether it was Carolyn or Hyde, who was a dimensional human, their foundation in the Holy City was incomparable to Solomon's. This was also the foundation that the 10 Great Families relied on to resist the strong 'invasion' of the Empire. Even Vladimir, who was under the limelight, and even Grai and Napier, received a lot of cheers and applause. But the next person was …
"Wang Zhong!"
The stadium fell silent for a moment. Frankly speaking, the sudden silence in the originally noisy stadium gave off the aura of a bastard. Even the cheers that Carolyn received didn't have such an effect.
Then, curses could be heard from the stands. "Wang Zhong, why don't you f * cking go and take a sh * t!"
"F * ck you! F * ck you pig! "
"Stupid pig!"
It was obvious that this was an alien accent. His pronunciation was not standard, and his vocabulary for cursing was rather lacking. Although the alien races had integrated with humans in the Holy City for a long time, they were still unable to grasp the essence of the exquisite human language and culture. To them, this seemed to be much more difficult than cultivation.
Although this didn't affect the challenge, it didn't seem very exciting. Sharmie, Mo Ling, and the others in the stands sighed secretly. They were even more disappointing as they didn't even pass the promotion round.
Marie Ji, who was in the stands, was a little dumbfounded. What kind of person was this? A newcomer could cause such a big commotion? This definitely didn't seem to be just because of the experimental accident. What kind of heinous things did this guy do? Not to mention Marie Ji, even Lan Daier, who had a certain understanding of Wang Zhong's reputation in the outside world, was sweating profusely.
Wang Zhong, on the other hand, appeared to be completely unperturbed. His carefree appearance even made people feel as though he wanted to eat a red bean bun or something. Faced with the ridicule and ridicule coming from the entire arena, not only did he sit down on his seat, he even waved his hand towards the audience in a rather serious manner, as though he was thanking everyone for their support and hard work in shouting at him so loudly.
Waving my a * s! Was this how someone who was being ridiculed should behave?
A large group of low-leveled noobs who followed the crowd and continued to scold Wang Zhong in the stands. However, those who thought that they were slightly more advanced felt a little depressed. As professional haters, they couldn't even stir up any waves from the other party. This was purely a rebound effect …
"This Wang Zhong …" Divian couldn't help but laugh. He still had such a big heart. In essence, Wang Zhong had become a target for newcomers to vent their fear, uncertainty, confusion, and other negative emotions. Through this method, everyone could find a sense of existence.
Divian's Dharma Idol wasn't strong, and many people thought that she would sink after entering the Holy City. However, she was the legitimate heir of the Seer Family. Her dragon bloodline gave her another starting point in the Holy City. The cultivation direction of bloodline possessors was not much different from that of ordinary soul cultivators. Although they appeared to reach the Peak Heroic Soul Stage first before seeking to break through the shackles of heaven and earth, bloodline possessors didn't really rely on their Dharma Idols. In other words, they were their Dharma Idols, just like Grai.
There was a saying that bloodline possessors wouldn't be the best experts. Their fighting style and talent performance determined their upper limit, but at the same time, this restriction also determined their lower limit. Every true bloodline inheritor was always at the forefront of their peers. As the most stable experts, they had never fallen out of the first echelon.
Therefore, in the past six months after entering the Holy City, she had been in a state of closed-door training. She didn't go to the Sparta Clan's lessons and was undergoing bloodline transformation by a senior of her family in the Holy City. Of course, she hadn't reached the stage of transformation yet, but the aura that she exuded was completely different from before.
"You're still being ridiculed like you were in the CHF." She smiled as she recalled a memory that wasn't too long ago.
"Your mentality is okay, but this is a challenge. It depends on your strength."
"Do you think so?" Carolyn, who was the only one sitting, just smiled. Although she didn't say anything else, it felt like there was more to her words.
Her Skylink was open at this time, and her account was connected to a small discussion group. There weren't many people in it, only Gui Hao and Vladimir. The three of them were members of the 10 Great Families and represented the Federation. Everyone's goal in this challenge was very clear: to maintain the prestige of the Federation. They definitely couldn't give Solomon a chance. After this period of time, everyone felt that Solomon was a poisonous snake. He quietly made big moves. Who knew what he would do in this challenge?
They had to be on guard!
"Gui Hao, pay attention to my and Vladimir's condition. If someone challenges us one after another, arrange for your subordinates to be in charge of saving the situation in the middle based on the situation and slow down the two of us. The identities of your group won't be so conspicuous."
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Gui Hao chuckled in the Skylink.
"…"
"Wang Zhong is mine." Gui Hao's voice was cold and direct. "As for the rest, you guys do as you see fit. I don't care, and I can't be bothered."
"Are you planning to ignore your family's arrangements?"
"Shut up. You don't have the right to order me." Gui Hao sneered. "What family arrangements? Whoever won would be the one in the right! Those old things in the family will understand. Even if I ignore their requests, what do you think they will do to me? "
Carolyn just smiled and directly kicked Gui Hao out of the discussion group. She couldn't bear this guy who couldn't see the situation clearly.
"You haven't changed your temper even after staying here for half a year." Vladimir's voice sounded at this moment with a hint of a smile.
"I didn't smash my Skylink, but it has changed a lot," Carolyn replied with a smile.
Gui Hao, who was sitting in the arena opposite her, just sneered. They were not the same kind of person.
"If you find trouble with Wang Zhong, he might hit a rock."
"You also think that Wang Zhong is strange?" Carolyn asked.
"Heh heh, the word 'also' is a little interesting. Aren't you the same?" "Let's not talk about him. Since Gui Hao doesn't want to cooperate, then let him play by himself. There's no need to care about him. If necessary, we will save each other and ensure that we remain in this position. There's no need to care too much about what methods we use. It's better than being beaten down by others. Or should we get a few people to try Solomon? Although the chances of success are zero, we can at least distract him a little. "
Solomon was now publicly acknowledged as the number one expert amongst the newcomers. His identity, mysteriousness, and the fact that he was a highly regarded Direct Disciple aside, the fact that he was the only Dimensional Predator amongst the newcomers was enough to explain everything.
"So unconfident? That doesn't seem like your style. "
"Do you see Enoch?" Vladimir's gaze had already turned to Solomon's side.
He saw a youth with a harmless face gnawing on the hoof of an unknown dimensional lifeform. There was a lazy smile on his face, as if he was a spectator who had nothing to do with this exciting challenge. There was not the slightest fighting spirit on him.
However, Carolyn sighed inwardly. There was no need for Vladimir to remind her. She had already noticed Solomon and Enoch when they came out.
She had seen Enoch's skills before. When he was still at the Casted Soul Stage in the Federation, he had easily killed her Heroic Soul guard captain with a single slash. At that time, Enoch had shown off his abilities and had a monstrous murderous aura. That kind of murderous aura was a combination of innate talent and acquired killing. It was also the heaviest murderous aura that Carolyn had ever seen. For a soldier, this was a strong personal style that was impossible to change. But now, he had completely hidden this monstrous murderous aura, and no one could sense it at all …
In the past six months, Enoch, like the other people from the Empire, was basically invisible in the eyes of ordinary Federation practitioners. Compared to the high-profile of the Federation, the people from the Empire were actually quite low-key.
