Chapter 19

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Leader! He was instakilled?”

Lionheart King fell heavily to the ground, and under everyone’s gaze, his life slowly faded away.

The fifteen guards behind him were deeply shocked.

“How could this be? That’s our leader! That’s the most powerful Lionheart King!”

The lionhearts trembled as they looked at their leader’s fallen body, all of them stunned.

“The Lionheart King is the most powerful warrior of the lionhearts! He was actually killed by that guy in an instant?”

“Isn’t that guy from the tauren tribe? He indeed has such powerful strength!”

“His strength has surpassed our leader’s! He has the qualifications to fight for the position of our leader!”

…

On the other side, Su Chen stepped on Lionheart King’s broadsword and shattered it into dozens of pieces.

As he killed the enemy, the voice from the Evolution Crystal spoke,

[ Killed Lionheart King, Evolution Crystal Proficiency +12! ]

If it was not because of accumulating this little bit of Proficiency, with no idea when it would suffice, Su Chen would have ignored it.

He then turned to face the lionhearts and said calmly, “You have two choices. First, die under my sword like your leader. Second, submit to me!”

The lionhearts were not afraid of death, but instead of great power.

They had witnessed their leader being killed in seconds and they had witnessed Su Chen’s power.

When Su Chen stated their choices, all the orcs looked at one particular lionheart.

This Lionheart had a touch of white hair on its forehead. It was extremely large and its body was even stronger than the Lionheart King.

The white-haired lionheart’s strength was on par with the Lionheart King, but at this moment, it was filled with great fear towards Su Chen.

He thought about Su Chen’s proposal for a while and finally knelt on one knee. He lowered his head and said, “We are willing to follow you! You have killed the Lionheart King, you are now our new leader!”

Reverence for the strong was a gene that was engraved in the bones of the lionhearts.

“Very well. You, come here. As the new leader, I will promote you as the Squad Leader. When I’m not around, you will be in charge of the lionhearts.

“I bestow upon you the name, Ge Hu.”

Su Chen gave a Knight suit to the white-haired lionheart and signed a new contract with him.

“The first tribe has been subdued. Who’s next? Yun Lan, bring me the map.”

Yun Lan’s face was filled with shock. If she had not been woken up by Su Chen’s voice, she would probably still be immersed in the scene of the Lionheart King being killed in seconds.

‘How can that Su Chen guy be so strong! I thought he was just lucky to be able to defeat me, but it turns out that I’m the lucky one!’

Behind Yun Lan, the Ge Niu and the 100 elite taurens were shocked too but only for a short while before they quickly regained their senses.

“Su Chen is the leader of us taurens! How can he be weak?”

Ge Niu looked at the lionhearts and even Yun Lan who were still in shock with a prideful heart.

Su Chen, who had killed the Lionheart King in seconds, had led them to attack the human territory!

“Next, it’s time to subdue the pack of jackals.”

Yun Lan passed the map to Su Chen. After witnessing the Lionheart King’s instant death, she was suddenly beaming with respect for Su Chen!

“The jackals, right? Take a short rest and get ready to move.”

…

In front of a bonfire, Su Chen’s face was displayed in a huge crystal ball.

A few strong-looking gnolls and orcs were sitting in front of the crystal ball, looking very worried and frightened.

“That terrifying Su Chen is about to come to our territory. What should we do? Should we resist? But even the powerful Lionheart King was killed in an instant. Leader, if you …”

“At most, we can only fight to a draw with the taurens. If we take into consideration the lionhearts, it’s impossible for us to resist successfully!”

“Who said we’re going to resist? Su Chen, this fella… He was simply a monster! With such a monster leading us, the jackal tribe can only grow stronger!

“Therefore, as the leader of the jackals, I order all the jackals in the tribe to quickly relay the order to submit to Su Chen willingly!”

…

On other sides of the world, the leaders of the mole, bloodthirsty sheep and lizard beasts were also shaken to the core after learning that the Jackals Leader had unconditionally sided with Su Chen.

They were already afraid of Su Chen, but now they were even more frightened.

“If Su Chen brings the lionhearts, taurens and the jackals to attack us, how are we going to defend?”

The leaders of the three tribes felt immense pressure, and that prompted them to make the same decision.

“Our only option is to submit and join them!”

“Quick, send the messenger to pass on this information as quickly as possible!”

Not long after, Su Chen, who had taken his rest, was about to head to the next tribe when he was suddenly visited by an unfamiliar orc.

“May I ask… Are you the respected leader Su Chen?”

The newcomer was a cute, skinny beast-eared girl, and there were three strong gnolls and orcs behind her.

Su Chen got up, nodded, and looked at her curiously.

She looked cute and timid. There were a few tears in her big eyes, and her face was a little red. She was wearing a white and warm sheepskin coat, an outfit which was desirable to the eyes.

However, Su Chen was puzzled because he did not remember knowing any beast-eared women.

“Do we know each other?”

“No, we don’t know you either, but you are the next leader of our jackal tribe. Under your leadership, the jackal tribe will surely be able to move towards glory!”

Su Chen was speechless.

The beast-eared lady handed over a letter, which looked like a letter of appointment from the town’s sheriff.

“Wait, a pack of jackals?”

Su Chen finally understood.

‘Wasn’t the jackal tribe the next to be subdued? Why did they come here before I went to find them though?’

“That saves me a lot of trouble…” Su Chen mumbled to himself inexplicably.

As he took the letter, the beast-eared lady cheered excitedly.

“Then let’s skip the jackals and prepare to go to the bloodthirsty sheep tribe…”

Su Chen pointed at the map. Before he could finish his sentence, a few more voices were heard calling his name.

“You must be leader Su Chen? I’m the niece of the former Bloodthirsty Sheep Leader!”

“Leader Su Chen, I’m the daughter of the previous Mole Leader, please be our leader!”

“Lord Su Chen! I’m the former Lizard Beast Leader…”

Su Chen was at a loss for words.

…

Su Chen had inexplicably subdued five tribes and signed contracts with several beast-eared women.

It was also at this moment that a voice rang in his mind.

[ Congratulations on conquering more than five tribes. You have obtained a chance to level up the Dark Tomb! ]

[ Once the Dark Tomb is upgraded, it will expand a great deal. The tomb will be filled with the healing aura, and the Dark Store will be updated with new items. ]

[ Tomb upgrade material: Energy Crystal ]

“Energy Crystals…”

Su Chen frowned. The Energy Crystal can only be obtained by hacking. It seems that upgrading the Dark Tomb was not going to be that easy.

Su Chen analyzed the information in his mind. When he had conquered enough orcs, he could upgrade the Dark Tomb.

“This means that I’m not the only one who can upgrade it. There are other orcs who are also collecting materials to upgrade their Dark Tombs and improve their strength.”

Su Chen knew that this was a competition. If he was too slow, he would be overtaken, invaded, or even killed by stronger opponents.

“I can only obtain Energy Crystals through invasions? I must take down the swamp in three days!”
