In the dueling arena, all the lords watching the duel were speechless.
Mengchuan's hidden strength was already shocking enough.
Many lords even believed that Mengchuan's territorial army must have grown exponentially after conquering the "Dark Age" dimension and achieving great results. They believed that he had reached the level of a third-grade territory, which was enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with powerful territories such as Kwill Territory and Newcastle Territory.
Mengchuan's performance was also very eye-catching. By sacrificing allies, he could allow high-level elite troops and even high-level commander troops to enter the arena as quickly as possible. It could be said that he had an absolute advantage in a duel between lords.
However, what in the world were the four lords that Bai Xiaowen summoned?
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that these four lords weren't summoned through spiritual projections.
They were most likely summoned creatures by Bai Xiaowen himself!
How could one person summon so many Lord-level summoned creatures?
This caused those who believed that Sheji was Bai Xiaowen's strongest trump card to drop their jaws.
He could summon five lords in the blink of an eye!
In a duel between lords, this could no longer be described as an advantage. It was an absolute victory!
Unless the opponent was as powerful as Lord Xia Feng, who could withstand the combined attacks of multiple lords and protect his spiritual projection. Otherwise, who could possibly endure it?
…
The moment the Four Heavenly Kings appeared, the outcome of the duel was already decided.
The timing that Bai Xiaowen chose was fatal.
Mengchuan's Dark Mausoleum projection hadn't taken shape yet.
Half of the Dark Mummy Army had already been sacrificed.
He wasn't a commander-type lord, so he couldn't command the Dark Mummy Army to effectively attack and defend. He could only let these precious high-level elite troops fight on their own. The damage they could cause was very messy.
The Four Heavenly Kings charged into the Dark Mummy Army's formation from four different directions and started a massacre.
Mengchuan wanted to stop them, but Bai Xiaowen controlled the Great Earth Flag's spiritual projection and the golden armored giant to entangle him.
The Dark Mausoleum projection was attacked, and its formation was delayed.
On Bai Xiaowen's side, the Great Wood Flag's projection had also taken shape. The second wood-type army entered the battle.
Bai Xiaowen multitasked and commanded the Great Wood Flag to get into formation. Soon, another giant wrapped in green energy took shape — the manifestation of the Giant Wood Flag's spiritual energy.
Even if Mengchuan was a high-level PvP Lord, he still wouldn't be able to withstand such a barrage of attacks. After persevering in despair for a short period of time, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
"Damn it, damn it! Damn it, damn it! "
Mengchuan could only rage helplessly.
As a leader, Mengchuan was very good at concealing his emotions and displaying the bearing of a leader.
However, the price of losing a vassal territory was too heavy.
The losses were so severe that Mengchuan could no longer maintain his composure.
He was filled with regret.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have agreed to the duel!
If he had known earlier, he would have directly attacked the White Phoenix Territory!
It was obvious that the total strength of the territory's army far exceeded that of the White Phoenix Territory! Yet, he chose to settle the dispute through a duel.
Who would have thought that this hateful Lv Wang actually had so many Lord-tier summoned creatures hidden away! It was simply a bug! Cheats! Foul!
Everyone could see that Mengchuan's expression was incredibly dark when the two lords walked out of the arena.
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Thank you for letting me win!"
Mengchuan waved his hand and left.
"Wait, Lord Mengchuan, did you forget about our bet?" Bai Xiaowen immediately called out to Mengchuan. He ignored the latter's terrifying eyes that looked as if they were about to devour him and said leisurely, "If I win, I can choose one of your three vassal territories to take over … This is a contract we made in front of all the lords. You're not thinking of going back on your word, are you?"
A vassal territory meant a lot of benefits. Bai Xiaowen naturally had to strike while the iron was hot and make this a reality.
As for what Mengchuan was thinking and whether or not he wanted to lose face, Bai Xiaowen didn't care.
"Lv Wang, where it's possible to make mistakes, one should be lenient …" Mengchuan said coldly.
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "I believe in another saying more … tolerance will never bring peace."
Bai Xiaowen then raised his voice. "Lord Mengchuan, you can't be a sore loser, right?"
Mengchuan felt a lot of pressure under the gazes of so many people in the arena. He simply waved his hand. "Of course I won't go back on my word. You choose! I hope you don't regret it! "
His words were full of threat.
Bai Xiaowen didn't care. He just wanted to tear off a piece of flesh from the lord of Heaven's Sanctum. He wanted to tear his opponent into a bloody mess. This was the only way he could make the other lords respect him and prevent more incidents like Heaven's Sanctum from declaring war.
Would he be able to bury the hatchet with the lord of Heaven's Sanctum just by taking a step back and not making a bet? What a joke. Mengchuan's loss today had caused him to lose face. There was already a grudge between them, so taking a step back wouldn't be a good thing. They would still be enemies.
"Okay, then I'll choose."
Bai Xiaowen smiled as he swept his gaze across the three vassal lords of Heaven's Sanctum.
Jiang Zhiru, Arlo, and Horace all avoided his gaze.
The three of them were secretly regretting their actions. Before the duel, they had ridiculed Bai Xiaowen and offended Bai Xiaowen greatly. Who would've thought that Mengchuan would lose?
The three of them were all Hero Class players. They had always been better off than other Hero Class evolvers because they were lords.
Although being a vassal lord didn't sound good, many people couldn't become one even if they wanted to.
Now, they were done for. Whoever's territory was chosen by Bai Xiaowen would definitely lose their lord position. This was obvious. How could Bai Xiaowen let his former enemy become a vassal lord?
"I've made my choice. I want Prime Rise Territory."
Bai Xiaowen had actually investigated the situation of the three vassal lords in advance. The citizens of Prime Rise Territory were basically all abducted from the Ancient Hua Xia plane. They complemented White Phoenix Territory to a certain extent, so they were the most suitable for each other.
Prime Rise Territory's lord, Jiang Zhiru, lowered his head and didn't say anything. He looked as if he had lost his parents.
On the other hand, Black and White, Horace and Arlo, looked relieved and sympathetic at the same time.
Bai Xiaowen walked in front of Jiang Zhiru and said, "Prime Rise Territory Lord, let's start now. Pass on your authority … to me!"
No matter how unwilling Jiang Zhiru was, he had no choice but to do so.
The two beside him, Horace and Arlo, didn't even dare to look at Bai Xiaowen, let alone ridicule him.
Who knew when they would face a situation like Jiang Zhiru's?
Bai Xiaowen had won their respect imperceptibly.
After Bai Xiaowen obtained the authority of Prime Rise Territory, the laws of the spirit world quickly notified him.
Since Bai Xiaowen was already the lord of White Phoenix Territory, he couldn't hold the authority of two territories at the same time. He had to deal with one of the territories within 24 hours.
The way to deal with it was the same as before. He could choose between passing it on to another evolver, annexing it, or destroying it.
Of course, since the wager was to transfer his vassal territory, Bai Xiaowen could only choose to pass it on. He couldn't annex or destroy it.
