Zhao Fu's tone was calm and did not contain any killing intent, but it caused Holy Light City's people to feel a chill in their hearts. It was as if they could already see that pitiful scene, and expressions of terror appeared on their faces.
"You …"
The white-clothed young woman was furious, but she could not say anything. After all, Holy Light City had no hope of winning at all, and the outcome was very likely to be the same as what the other party had said. Facing 12 City Lords, she would not even have a chance to die.
"Should we still resist?"
The white-clothed young woman clenched her fists. If there was a sliver of hope for victory, she would definitely persist with her original plan. But now that she heard how Lin Fan was going to torture her commoners, she started to hesitate. If she lost, she did not want to see that terrifying scene.
Zhao Fu did not say anything, and he continued to stare at the woman in white.
After a while, the woman in white said, "If I surrender, how will you treat my residents?"
"I will treat them equally and treat them all as Qin's subjects!" Zhao Fu raised his head and replied earnestly.
After hearing Zhao Fu's reply, the woman in white hesitated before saying, "I choose to surrender!"
A trace of a smile appeared on Zhao Fu's face – this was one of the benefits of persuading people to surrender. He could obtain massive benefits without suffering any losses.
Hearing the City Lord's words, most people let out a sigh of relief. A small portion of people were unwilling, but they still obeyed the City Lord's orders.
Zhao Fu ordered the Disaster Cavalrymen to quickly lead the 300,000 Skeletons away. There were simply too many Skeletons, and Zhao Fu was unable to control them. If they went berserk after Zhao Fu accepted their surrender, that would not be good.
Following this, Zhao Fu officially took over Holy Light City. Groups of Qin's soldiers marched into Holy Light City, and the system main city guards and residents put down their weapons and gathered together.
Zhao Fu went to the City Hall, and the woman in white's body gave off waves of white light as a white City Lord Seal floated out of her body. Zhao Fu grabbed the City Lord Seal and set it as a Subordinate City. The white City Lord Seal immediately shrank, and a portion of its power was absorbed by the Qin City Lord Seal.
Over at the City Heart, Zhao Fu placed his hand on it and chose to conquer and relocate.
"System announcement! Congratulations, you have conquered a system main city and obtained 5,000 Achievement Points. "
"Notification! Because you're the Legatee of a Nation, you conquered a system main city and obtained a large amount of the region's Fate. "
"Notification! You have relocated a system main city and obtained 860,000 EXP. "
"Notification! Congratulations, you have received 200 War Points. "
…
Zhao Fu did not care about these basic prompts. What caught Zhao Fu's attention were the other two prompts. One was the national prompt, which meant that the whole of China could hear it!
"Notification! After Qin unifies the Forest of Horrors, players will no longer spawn, and Qin will obtain the title of Region Lord and a large amount of Region Fate.
This system announcement was different from before. When Qin had destroyed four system main cities, it had only said that the four system main cities had been conquered and that players would not be spawned.
However, this notification showed that Qin had unified the region and obtained the title of Region Lord, as well as a large amount of regional providence.
Zhao Fu thought about it and realized that it was most likely because Qin City was here. After all, Qin City was now the only faction in the Forest of Horrors.
Of the regions that Zhao Fu had destroyed, the four system main cities had only been conquered and had not been rebuilt. If they had rebuilt the system main cities, that region would most likely belong to Qin City, and Qin would have received another region's Fate.
As it had been said before, the more land one had, the more Fate one had. These lands did not provide Fate all at once but continuously.
After Qin had destroyed two Nation Legatees, his Nation Armament and Clan Armament, which had not been upgraded yet, had been upgraded to Level 5 and Level 4 respectively after obtaining a large amount of Region Fate.
After upgrading, Nation Armaments would naturally become even more powerful, and the power they gave off would cause people to feel incredibly shocked.
As for the Region Lord title, Zhao Fu looked at it and found that it was just a simple title that did not have much use.
When this system announcement sounded out, all of China was shaken. Even though they had long since made preparations, and no one could stop Qin, after hearing about this, they still couldn't help but feel shocked.
Qin City had already unified a region, laying the first cornerstone for Qin City's Kingdom. In the future, Qin City would continue to expand, and the warring states era was about to begin.
This put a massive amount of pressure on the other Dynasty Legatees and factions, forcing them to hurry up and not waste any time.
There was another system announcement, which was about conquering a region and obtaining a Region Treasure Chest. Looking at the Region Treasure Chest in his hand, Zhao Fu felt quite excited, but he did not open it for now. He decided to go back and see what he could obtain.
…
Following this, after Zhao Fu relocated Holy Light City, he took a large number of people and returned to Qin City. It was the first time that many people had seen Qin City, and they were quite shocked. After all, the development here was no different from that of an ordinary system main city.
After rebuilding Holy Light City, Zhao Fu left the people to Li Si and Shang Yang. As for the woman in white, she was called to a hall by Zhao Fu. Looking at the pure and innocent woman in front of him, Zhao Fu's attitude became better, but she still had a cold expression.
"You've submitted to me, so you should listen to my orders. However, I know what you're thinking, so I'll give you two choices!"
"The first choice is that if you don't want to fight for me, you'll still be the City Lord of Holy Light City in name and live with your residents. However, I'll give the City Lord Seal to someone else because I need it to attack other cities.
Moreover, I'll make you a concubine. Of course, I won't touch you, as this is only in name.
The second choice is to listen to my orders and wholeheartedly serve me, Qin City. Don't worry, as long as you serve me, Qin City, I won't mistreat anyone. "
Hearing this, the woman in white felt quite surprised. She had never thought that Zhao Fu's attitude would change so quickly. Before, he had been incredibly cruel and bloodthirsty, but now, he had become incredibly gentle. Moreover, he respected her wishes and allowed her to choose.
At first, the woman in white had accepted her fate and completely given up. She had planned to let Zhao Fu do whatever he wanted to her, including becoming his concubine.
This was because Bai Qi had long since said that Zhao Fu lacked a concubine and wanted her to become an Imperial Concubine. As such, the woman in white had expected that she would become his woman.
However, what she found quite strange was that since he had made her a concubine, why had he touched her?
The woman in white could not understand. In actuality, she did not want to listen to Zhao Fu's orders and serve Qin City. After all, she had seen how cruel Qin City was, and with her personality, she simply could not accept it.
