At this moment, Daniel had also arrived outside the defense line.

The NPCs in front of him all shut their mouths and cleared the way.

Daniel walked through the crowd, looked at the bodies in the mud, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

At this time, Ethan, in order to conserve energy, had also dismissed his Holy Dragon form.

Daniel observed Ethan, his eyes slightly narrowed, it seems he was indeed the Dark Lord.

Looking at the Divine Dragon Warriors behind Ethan, the iconic dragon scales and the chilling dragon claws made Daniel realize that this time, he might really be in trouble!

This isn’t a Lizard Dark Lord, it’s clearly the Grim Reaper!

Thinking about Benjamin’s previous reconnaissance results, it was even more laughable.

“Benjamin!”

“I’m here, I’m here!”

At this time, Benjamin came to Daniel’s side like a lapdog, paying no attention to the situation ahead.

Daniel’s face was icy, looking at Benjamin’s flirtatious smile, he felt even more nauseous.

He wished he could slap Benjamin’s face hard!

Daniel took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Now is not the time for accusations, if they start infighting now, this battle can be declared a failure!

Daniel kept persuading himself, squeezing out a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.

“Benjamin, you lead them and charge! He is just a Lizard Dark Lord, there is no need to be afraid.”

Benjamin was stunned, he was to lead the charge?

Isn’t this asking him to die?

He was extremely unwilling, just about to make an excuse, Daniel’s dagger was on his lower back.

Daniel revealed a meaningful smile: “I believe, Benjamin, you won’t refuse, right?”

Benjamin looked down and broke into a cold sweat.

Although he didn’t know why he was being forced, it must be related to the previous incident.

Only then did he notice the Divine Dragon Warriors behind Ethan.

His face froze and he said with a forced smile:

“Captain, it’s not too late to attack next time. We can go back and plan for the long term.”

Daniel shook his head and said: “Relax, this Lizard Dark Lord isn’t that strong, we can easily crush him!”

Benjamin was very familiar with this sentence, he had just said it not long ago.

His excuse got stuck, looking at the Divine Dragon Warriors again, the powerful aura emitted by the Divine Dragon Warriors made him unable to resist.

No, absolutely not!

He turned to Daniel with a smile.

“Captain, please let me go this time! I promise whatever you say in the future will be the final say.”

Ethan was a little confused at this time, watching the two of them.

They seemed to be some kind of team leaders, discussing strategy before the battle?

He didn’t dare to be careless, and immediately ordered all the Divine Dragon Warriors to stay alert, fearing any accidents.

On Daniel’s side, he spoke softly:

“Either, you lead the charge and have a chance to survive.”

“Or, you can meet Samuel now!”

Benjamin’s face turned ashen, and he nodded heavily.

He then shouted to the NPCs behind him:

“Brothers! Charge with me! We’ll distribute the rewards on the spot after we take them down!”

“Aye, Captain!”

The NPCs responded enthusiastically.

Looking at the excited NPCs, Benjamin couldn’t help but show a bitter smile.

Under Daniel’s gaze, he held up an F+ machete that shone coldly, and roared, “Kill!”

More than a dozen people immediately charged.

Daniel nodded, and let the NPCs with D+ strength follow behind as the final force, then watched the team advance with a gloomy expression.

ƥαṇdαs ηθνε| He thought very clearly, although the current Dark Lord is probably related to the Dragon and can command Dragon soldiers, he would be a top bigshot in the later stages.

But it has only been 3 days, even if he’s strong, so what?

Even an ant can bite an elephant to death, let alone this is just a baby elephant!

Several people stepped on the corpse on the ground and charged towards the defense line, hacking at the Wooden Caltrops.

The Divine Dragon Warrior stood behind the Wooden Caltrops, harvesting lives with the trident in his hands from time to time.

It didn’t take long for only Benjamin to barely cut the Wooden Caltrops in half under the harassment of the Divine Dragon Warrior.

The others were either dead or injured.

A small stream of blood gradually formed on the ground.

At this time, Benjamin, who had broken through the defense line, shouted back: “Enter from here!”

Daniel stood in the distance, his eyes bright.

Unexpectedly, this guy could actually break through the defense line.

In this case, there was still a chance!

As long as they could enter the core area, they could definitely win!

He also hurried to follow the team, by now the number of NPCs had already halved.

After Benjamin broke through the defense line, Ethan directed the Holy Light Goblins to intercept.

Seeing the small goblins, Benjamin’s confidence increased greatly.

It seems this Dark Lord was all show and no go!

Apart from those few Dragon soldiers holding the scene, the rest of the fighting power were all odds and ends!

Like these goblins, he could take them out with one slash!

His confidence skyrocketed in an instant, he raised his blade and swung it towards a goblin.

His contempt led him to choose this extremely dangerous attack action, exposing his flank.

The goblin holding a wooden shield raised it above its head, Benjamin’s slash couldn’t even break the wooden shield.

His blade was deeply embedded in the shield.

The goblin on the side quickly came forward, stabbing Benjamin with a spear.

Benjamin tried to pull out the knife, but found he couldn’t.

His figure tried to retreat, but he was pushed forward by the NPCs rushing up behind him.

He watched helplessly as he was impaled by the spear…

[Ding, Hero Killed, obtained Hero Soul X1]

Ethan couldn’t even bother checking, the situation on the field was still tense.

The remaining NPCs had no idea what was happening upfront, they were continually surging forward.

Those at the front who wanted to retreat found it impossible, they could only watch themselves rushing towards the blade.

This breach in the defense line became like a meat grinder, ruthlessly harvesting lives!

Ethan, with a strange look on his face, watched this scene.

Was this… a delivery of heads?

After paying a heavy price, Daniel pulled away the NPCs who were still pushing forward.

His face turned livid with rage.

He couldn’t believe that the rewards set to motivate these NPCs had become a fuse for failure!

“Stop pushing! Make way! Make way!” Daniel shouted frantically.

Then he turned to a D+ NPC and said,

“You, find another entrance!”

The D+ NPC nodded, and with a single swing of his blade, he split open the Wooden Caltrops.

Ethan, watching from afar, felt a sinking feeling in his heart… this guy must be the reliance of these heroes!

He directed the Divine Dragon Warriors and the goblins, abandoning the defense line and retreating to the front of the cabin.

Then, Ethan activated Divine Dragon Form, flying towards the strongest NPC on the battlefield.

The two didn’t need to speak much, they immediately engaged in battle.

However, the battle seemed to have no suspense.

The D+ NPC had the power but not a fitting weapon, his F-level weapon couldn’t inflict any substantial damage on Ethan.𝒐𝓋𝓛xt.𝗇𝓔t

Ethan didn’t dodge or evade, he flew right in front of the NPC.

Suddenly, a bold idea came to Ethan’s mind.

“Would you be willing to submit to me?”

The NPC showed a look of difficulty, and the AI was constantly considering the best choice at the moment.

The probability of breaking out was 1%, the probability of winning was 0%, and the probability of death was as high as 99%!

The NPC didn’t speak, he knelt down in the mud, choosing to submit.

[Congratulations! You have subdued the NPC, gaining entry and exit rights to the Riverside frontier of the Sunset Empire!]

[Hidden quest activated: Become the backstage controller of the Sunset Empire. Reward: SSS Treasure Chest X1.]

A faint smile appeared on Ethan’s face, he didn’t expect that subduing an NPC would come with unexpected gains.

The backstage controller of the Sunset Empire? Interesting.

But since he is an NPC, could the others be as well?

Ethan gave a slight thought, and all the Divine Dragon Warriors and goblins immediately stopped their actions.

These F NPCs were puzzled, and the bloody battlefield suddenly quieted down.

Ethan flew in front of everyone, followed by the NPC he had just subdued.

He shouted, “Lay down your weapons, submit to me, and I will pardon your crimes!”

Daniel was among the crowd, looking dumbfounded at Ethan flying in the sky.

The rain also subsided a bit at this moment, and there were only a few F NPCs left as cannon fodder.

A few of them didn’t hesitate, exchanged glances, nodded, and threw their weapons on the ground.

As for Daniel, who was among them, he also threw his weapon on the ground with a firm heart, planning to pass off as an NPC and escape when there was a chance.

[Congratulations! You have subdued a Hero! Hero Loyalty: 30%, it is recommended to improve Hero Loyalty.]
