Chapter 196 - Building a New City, Grand Architect

“That’s right! I want you and your army to stay behind to build a new city for the Cang Yuan Country!”

Vincent held Angelina’s hand and walked up to Miles. He said with a smile, “The Black Hole battlefield is extremely dangerous. There is indeed no time to lose. The Blood Pool King should write a letter of proof so that the God-Slaying squad can enter Scarlet Country as soon as possible!”

Miles looked at Vincent with an awkward expression. He could not utter a single word!

Although Miles did not expect Vincent to ask for his army, he could still understand his request. However, Vincent wanted him to stay behind as well. He was the emperor of the Scarlet Country. How could Vincent be so unreasonable?

“What are you doing? Why are you keeping me here? Why do you want me to write a letter of proof for you? What is the point of having a letter of proof?”

Miles shouted with a wary expression. Even though he had thousands of soldiers and horses behind him, he did not have the slightest bit of confidence. Although his words were interrogative, his head was covered in a cold sweat.

Vincent gave Chris a look. He then said, “A letter of proof is to make it more convenient for the God-Slaying squad to command the various cities and barracks of the Scarlet Country to resist the Black Hole battlefield together. It is also to ensure the safety of your Scarlet Country!”

Chris understood the meaning behind Vincent’s look. He immediately walked forward and said, “Blood Pool King, don’t hesitate. Didn’t you just say that the country is in imminent danger? Quickly write a letter, so that we can send reinforcements to Scarlet Country!”

After seeing this, Miles could not help but retreat. How could he not see that the God-Slaying squad wanted to imprison him and seize the opportunity to cut off his military power? They want to take over the Scarlet Country in essence!

Miles could not understand. He had clearly been on guard against Vincent and the others. He had even deliberately hidden his army and waited for the Falcon Country and Scorching Sun Country’s army to retreat before meeting Vincent.

How could he have expected that Swain and Klaus would be able to return to their own countries with their army, but when it was the Scarlet Country’s turn, the God-Slaying squad did not play by the same rules!

Miles asked in disbelief, “Why? Why are Swain and Klaus able to retreat safely, but the Scarlet Country’s army is required to stay behind?”

Chris looked at Miles’s indignant expression and could not help but smile smugly. Just as he was about to say something bold, he realized that he was unable to say anything. After all, all of this was Vincent’s plan. He had no idea!

Chris could only turn to look at Vincent in embarrassment. His actions caused the God-Slaying squad to snicker.

Vincent once again walked forward and stood beside Chris. He smiled and said to Miles, “Because the Cang Yuan Country is now in a state of chaos and can no longer recruit craftsmen to build cities. There must be an army from another country that is willing to stay behind to help Cang Yuan Country build new cities!”

After hearing that, Miles could not help but feel the anger burning in his heart. Smoke rose from his seven orifices as he roared, “Then why must it be the army of my Scarlet Country? Why didn’t you capture the strong men of the Falcon Country and Scorching Sun Country?”

Vincent spread out his hands and said, “I think you might have misunderstood! I need an army to build cities, and at the same time, I also need to intimidate the three great countries to prevent you from sneaking around behind the scenes. So, if I capture the army of one country at the beginning, the other two countries will not appear. Instead, they will quietly withdraw their troops! Would that intimidate them?”

Vincent paused for a moment after speaking halfway. He looked at the regretful and annoyed Miles. He then continued, “So, I can only detain the third army that appears. Do you understand?”

Miles asked unwillingly, “Then what if I lead my army to come first? Or what if I am the second to arrive?”

“Then you won’t be the unlucky one!” said Vincent with a smile.

As the ruler of a country, Miles naturally understood the deep meaning behind Vincent’s words. He could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Although he knew that the God-Slaying squad was powerful, he only saw them as a bunch of boorish brutes with empty power. He did not expect Vincent to be so well-versed in scheming.

Miles was greatly alarmed!

In time, Vincent would definitely become a great enemy to all the countries!

“Run! Retreat quickly!”

Miles turned around and shouted with a face full of fear. He waved his hand repeatedly to signal his army to turn around and leave whilst he ran towards the border with all his might.

He could not leave his army to be under the command of Cang Yuan Country. He could not let himself become a prisoner there. This was because once word got out, it would be a great humiliation for him and the Scarlet Country!

“God-Slaying squad, get them!”

Vincent also gave an order after seeing Miles and his army retreat. The God-Slaying squad moved out immediately.

Teacher Chris and Chris led the way to stop Miles, who was trying to escape. Two ruler-class superpowered people surrounded a king-class superpowered person. The result was clear enough without a fight.

The rest of the people cooperated with Vincent and rushed towards the Scarlet Country’s army. They surrounded the Scarlet Country’s army whilst Vincent controlled thin lines of flames to spread to every corner of the army. However, his flames did not harm any of them.

“You guys are too much! Do you really think that our Scarlet Country has no temper?”

Miles roared furiously. At the same time, endless blood instantly gushed out from his body.

The blood seemed to have a life of its own. The moment it left Miles’s body, it took the initiative to rush towards Teacher Chris and Chris, who were at the side. It was as if there was something on their bodies that was attracting the blood!

However, it was obvious that the only thing that could attract it was the blood of the strong!

The reason why the Dragon King was able to become the strongest king-class superpowered user of the older generation was because of his self-created Divine Dragon Transformation. This was also the reason why the emperor of Scarlet Country had been able to suppress the other emperors for so many years. It was because of his unique talent!

The members of the Scarlet Country’s royal family all inherited the same S-Class superpower, The Heart of Thirst for Blood!

Then, Miles created his own unique combat technique, the Blood Demon, through constant trial and error!

The blood that was flowing out of his body inherited his combat instinct and was able to attack the people around him and dodge fatal attacks.

At the same time, the Blood Demon also had a great advantage. Its liquid form was almost immune to all physical attacks!

Therefore, even though the opponents were two ruler-class superpowered people, Miles still felt like he had the strength to fight!

However, in the next second, Miles’s hope was completely shattered!

Teacher Chris took out the dagger on her waist and casually slashed it in front of her. Space was instantly shattered into countless pieces. At the same time, the blood that covered the sky and the earth was sliced open.

When the blood shattered into extremely tiny fragments, it was no longer able to maintain its original state. It began to evaporate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the other side, Chris had directly transformed into a Divine Dragon. A dragon claw instantly pressed down on the incoming blood, and the entire ground shook.

Under the extremely fierce physical impact, the large amount of blood disintegrated and disappeared the moment Chris’s dragon claw met the ground. It fused it into the ground.

The Blood Pool King’s most confident attack was destroyed in an instant. He felt a wave of despair in his heart. He stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.

Right at that moment, Vincent shouted loudly, “Back then, in the old capital of the Arctic Country, I once comprehended a new combat skill known as the Flame Extinguishing Gods. I destroyed the entire imperial palace in one fell swoop! If you attack again today, it will be considered as declaring war on our God-Slaying squad. I guarantee that I will turn your army into ashes. If you don’t believe me, you can try!”

“Don’t! Don’t attack! I surrender!”

Miles knew that he no longer had the strength to fight, so he quickly surrendered.

He did suspect that Vincent was just trying to scare him, but he could not take a gamble. If Vincent really attacked the Scarlet Country’s army, then the Scarlet Country’s defense would be destroyed by the Monster Horde very quickly. At that time, wouldn’t he, the emperor, be all alone?

In order to protect his own military strength, Miles decided to give up and surrender to the God-Slaying squad.

Vincent nodded and put away his endless flames. He walked back to Miles and asked, “Now can you write a letter of proof?”

“Write! I’ll write!”

Miles sighed helplessly.

Chris immediately took out a pen and paper and asked Miles to write down a letter authorizing the God-Slaying squad to temporarily take over the Scarlet Country’s defense. He also stamped it with his emperor’s seal.

“That’s enough! You can rest assured and leave the safety of the Scarlet Country to us! You can just stay here with the army and help the Cang Yuan Country build the capital. Who knows, you might even be able to become a great architect that will go down in history!”

Chris gently patted Miles’s shoulder and smiled.

Chris would not let go of any opportunity to make these people who had once betrayed the Dragon King suffer!

Miles closed his eyes. He was speechless. The winner was the king and the loser was the bandit. What else did he have left to say?

Vincent walked forward and said, “Chris, it’s important to deal with the Black Hole battlefield. Take everyone and set off immediately!”

Chris nodded and said, “Don’t worry! Wait for our good news!”

After saying that, Chris took the rest of the team and left, leaving behind only Vincent and Teacher Chris to guard the Scarlet Country’s army and their emperor, Miles.

“Blood Pool King, you can now send your troops over and start building the Imperial City!”

Vincent turned his head and instructed Miles.

Miles waved his hand at his troops with a great compromise. He called his army forward and handed his command over to Vincent in front of everyone.

Vincent looked at the army in front of him and said loudly, “Everyone, you are very fortunate to be able to participate in the construction of the largest city of the Human Race. At the same time, you will also be building the first school of the future! I can promise you that after the construction of the city is completed, you will be the first batch of students to enter the school! There is hope that you will become as strong as us!”

The army, who had originally glared at Vincent because the emperor was being coerced, revealed looks of anticipation. Who could resist the temptation of becoming stronger?

Miles looked at the army that he was about to lose. He could only lower his head and sigh silently.
