When dragons, unicorn pegasus, airships, and griffins impregnated the crisscrossed rifts, the ground troops crowded as ants surged above the rift valley.

The scene became enormously exaggerated.

Displeasure cloaked the players’ hearts when they saw this scene.

Although they were all here to kill Qingqiu, to be viewed and targeted by the entire world, wasn’t that additionally an honor?

Those top-tier NPCs would not even take a second look if it were them.

Moreover, under such pressure, Richard managed to hold on for over 20 hours.

This made them gasp in shock.

But now, everything was coming to an end!

No matter how strong Qingqiu was, he would stop here today…

A player shouted when the troop reached the rift zone center.

“Qingqiu is in this rift!!”

A surprised shout caused the troop to tremble.

Everyone immediately swarmed over.

More than a dozen players who were closest immediately rushed over.

A terrifying giant rift appeared in their line of sight.

It was more than 300 meters wide and more than 5,000 meters deep. Even with a good line of sight, they could barely see the ground.

A god seemed to have split the ground near them when they looked down from the sky.

At this moment, yellow sand shrouded a figure whose face was abstruse and floated in the valley.

Behind the figure, a chrysalis condensed from sand revealed a face with its eyes closed.

After opening the attribute panel to confirm, the player was both excited and delighted.

They had finally found that bastard Qingqiu!!

“Qingqiu… Boss, you can’t run away!”

“Why are you so respectful? Scold him…”

“F*ck! Go and scold him? Do you dare?”

“Hahaha, is Qingqiu ugly? Why doesn’t he dare to show his face? F*ck! Even if he can’t beat me, I’m satisfied. Strength is nothing. Looks are the truth!”

“It’s an S-rank mission. To catch Qingqiu is everything…”

The corner of Richard’s mouth twitched when he heard the sand sculpture’s conversation.

He veered his head and rippled his hand.

‘Rumble!’

The mountain they were standing on suddenly collapsed.

More than a dozen players only had time to shout ‘sh*t’ before they fell into the rift valley. They experienced the feeling of flying for free before dying…

[Ding ~ You have annihilated a player from the Oath of Light faction. You have obtained 500 points.]

[Ding…]

Right at this moment. ‘Woohoo!’

There was the sound of giant dragons flapping their wings.

Dozens of level 14 giant dragons swooped down.

When they saw the Third Princess, instant joy wrapped their faces.

“Found it!”

The corners of Richard’s mouth curled up slightly when he saw this scene.

His body descended rapidly.

The templar dragoons became anxious and immediately began to chase him down.

Both sides descended from 5,000 meters high to the bottom of the valley at high speed.

There were already crushed stones under Richard’s feet, and there was no way out.

The giant dragon instantly surrounded Richard in the center, and a scorching dragon’s breath began to condense in its throat.

If it weren’t for the Third Princess behind Richard, he would have already tasted the breath that could melt steel by now.

“Are you the Qingqiu that those lords of the divine grace mentioned?”

A black armored dragon rider with a cold gaze sat on the white, giant dragon’s body.It was a lot bigger than the other giant dragons in the front.

The dragon lance in the other party’s hand reflected a chilling light, which looked soul-stirring.

The aura on its body surged like a mighty wave.

It heaved a sigh of relief when it saw Richard had nowhere to run.

However, when it thought of Richard’s previous actions, it continued to pressure him.

“A level 8 mage dares to participate in the crime of treason?”

“The President of Your Scarlet Council has been burned to ashes by dragon breath.”

“What you’re doing now is meaningless!

“Human, now I’m giving you a chance to surrender to me.

“Put down the Third Princess, and I’ll let bygones be bygones… I can even reward you.

“The great Templar City will not be defeated by conspiracy!”

“The powerful king will rule this land forever!

“You can only submit!”

As it spoke, it made a special code gesture to the hand behind — delay the attack, wait for the mage and reinforcements, and prevent the other party from jumping over the wall that would harm the Third Princess…

Richard sensed the other party’s small actions and did not care.

He smiled.

Just as he was about to speak, the system notification suddenly rang.

[Ding~ An emergency has been triggered — pre-battle announcement. ].

[The underlings of the decaying forces are proudly announcing their strength to you. As an elder of the Scarlet Council, you will not tolerate this!]

[You must announce the Scarlet Council’s purpose to others.]

[Mission Requirement: Before the battle, announce the Scarlet Council’s purpose in front of all the enemies. Reward: Minimum of 1 gold point. The more enemies, the higher the rewards.]

‘This works too??’

The corner of Richard’s mouth twitched.

‘Pre-battle speeches? Is there still such a thing now??

‘And this can also earn gold points??

‘If that’s the case, I’m sorry, I can speak for an entire day without repeating myself…’

He raised his head and looked at the templar dragoon hero.

His voice was calm.

“Give me… a chance to surrender?

“Who do you think you are? How dare you?”

“F*ck! This bastard wants to die!!!”

The templar dragoon hero who spoke cracked the handle of his lance in its hand.

Its eyes were about to burst into flames.

Richard said calmly, “In twenty minutes, I will give you an explanation!

“I will not leave until the time is up!”

With a wave of his hand, the chrysalis wrapped around the Third Princess grew countless sharp barbs.

It would only take an instant to kill her ultimately.

After being sealed, the other party’s power was no longer there, so killing the other party was not empty talk.

“Who dares to make a move before this time?”
