Village Head's Debauchery
Chapter 950: The Command To Surrender

Orion was impressed by their grand entrance.

As each group arrived, they took note of their surroundings. The Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City focused on the tied-up Azarok and his unit, all severely injured and beaten.

Witnessing such a shameful sight, Captain Freya clenched her fists in anger and frustration, knowing she was responsible for her unit's current situation.

Azarok and his team felt a deep sense of shame, their dire situation tarnishing their reputation as the 1st Unit Vanguard team of the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City.

Meanwhile, the Sleeping Fox Runaway City fixed their eyes on Seig and Evadne, a fierce glint flashing through their eyes.

Seig smiled, noticing a few familiar faces, and even waved his hand at them. 'I'm still alive, birdies,' he thought, hoping his grin would convey the message.

Evadne shifted her attention to the other side, showing no interest in looking at any of their faces.

Some of the gods' chosens clenched their fists in response, their expressions tense.

The group then averted their gazes, focusing on Leif, Leona, Carl, and the other Four-eared Elven gods' chosens, their brows furrowing in thought.

Understanding that they were now the centre of attention, Leif and the others put on a brave front, seemingly unbothered by the intense gazes.

They quickly withdrew their gazes and shifted their focus to the ten human warriors and the woman with strange hair and eyes belonging to an unknown race none had ever heard of.

The ten warriors and Seraphina held their ground, forcing the onlookers to avert their eyes to avoid stirring any unwanted issues. Briefly, their attention shifted to the immense crater stretching far into the horizon on all sides, a sight so vast that unless viewed from above, its end could not be seen from below.

Before long, they immediately fixed their attention on four imposing figures, each wearing a distinct mask—blue, black, fiery red, and grey—each adorned with intricate depictions of one-star to three-star Vylkr vines, appearing to be crafted by a master artisan. This entire exchange occurred in a matter of moments.

Queen Eleanora stepped forward and said, "I am Queen Eleanora, leader of the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City. The others behind me control different city sections and operate under my authority. We couldn't bring all our forces because some needed to continue operating the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City and keep its inhabitants in check. I hope you understand and do not see this in a different light."

The leaders behind her also nodded in affirmation.

"I am Emperor Lakul, leader of The Sleeping Fox Runaway City. Like Queen Eleanora, I must inform you that a portion of my forces is also needed to operate my Runaway City and maintain order," Emperor Lazul said with a nod.

Upon hearing their words, Orion frowned. He knew he had injured one of the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City members, so he wouldn't be surprised if she didn't show up and was still possibly unconscious.

However, hearing that both sides still had additional forces within their cities, Orion couldn't help but become suspicious despite the reasonable excuse.

"How many forces?" Orion asked, his tone cold.

"120," Queen Eleanora responded, her eyes trying to discern the figures through the mask.

"150," Emperor Lakul responded, his mind racing as he wondered if the masked figures all possessed the same abilities as the man with the fiery masks or if they were the weakest or the strongest or varied in strength.

Nonetheless, they were all wary of their abilities, which was why they were present today.

"And the leaders, who are also not present?" Orion asked.

"It's our Commander of the gods' chosens and Chief of Security of the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City, the one you had severely injured. And the Mistress of the Forgepalace, who is responsible for maintaining the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City. I assure you that I have no reason to lie about such a matter that decides the fate of my Runaway City," Queen Eleanora responded, sighing.

Hearing Queen Eleanora's words, Emperor Lakul and the others were stunned. This made them realize the others present might be as powerful as the warrior chasing after them.

The Commander of the gods' chosens and Chief of Security of the Sleeping Fox Runaway City couldn't help but be shaken when he remembered how close he had been to rushing upwards to confront their assailant if not for the Emperor's command.

Understanding that it was his turn to speak, Emperor Lakul swiftly said, "We couldn't bring our Master of the Forgepalace, who is also tasked with ensuring the Sleeping Fox Runaway City continues to function properly during our absence."

After careful deliberation, Orion responded, "Your leaders tasked with maintaining the Runaway City can stay; however, summon all of your forces immediately."

Queen Eleanora and Emperor Lakul furrowed their brows in response but nodded understandingly. They sent their gods' chosens to deliver the message and pull out their forces immediately. Within fifty minutes, they returned, bringing 120 gods' chosens from the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City and 150 gods' chosens from the Sleeping Fox Runaway City.

Orion nodded, taking in the immense number of their forces and energy readings, before asking, "Since you dared to trespass in my territory and covet the Vylkr alloy mine, who among you wishes to be the first to surrender yourselves and your entire forces?" his words aimed directly at the heart of the matter

Almost instantly, Emperor Lakul gestured for his entire entourage to follow him and bow towards Orion and the others beside him.

"On behalf of the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, I apologize for trespassing into Paradise's territory. After noticing their strange movements, we followed the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City. We never knew we were stepping into the domain of a powerhouse. Please forgive this offence and allow us to leave your territory peacefully."

"In return, we promise to spread the word among other Runaway Cities that this land belongs to a formidable force. This will deter any future intrusions, and those who dare to trespass again will do so at their own peril," Emperor Lakul swiftly proposed, placing the blame on the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City and offering to act as a messenger to other Runaway Cities they may encounter.
