Thump! Thump! Thump!
Thump! The Bramble Calamity Crocodile stood outside Rollie City. Its enormous height made it even taller than the city walls. The members of the Rollie family on the city walls could clearly see its head full of sharp teeth. The powerful visual impact caused them to feel a chill from head to toe.
"Your Excellency Gray, we can sit down and slowly discuss the terms of compensation that both sides can accept!"
Aubrey Rollie looked at Gray, who was standing on the Bramble Calamity Crocodile. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that the Bramble Calamity Crocodile in front of him was not alive. It was controlled by a corpse controlling ability, but he did not know if it was controlled by the opponent's ability or a magical weapon.
However, even if it was not alive, the destructive power of the Bramble Calamity Crocodile was extremely terrifying. According to what he knew, the Bramble Calamity Crocodile's physical strength was comparable to a calamity grade creature.
In the face of an attack of this level, he was completely unsure if the city's defensive barrier could withstand it.
"Sure, but only after I break the defensive barrier!"
Standing on the Bramble Calamity Crocodile, Gray's gaze swept across the members of the Rollie family one after another. This time, the people who were swept by his gaze were no longer as arrogant as before. Instead, their faces were pale and their bodies were slightly trembling.
"Attack!"
Gray gave the order to the Bramble Calamity Crocodile to attack. Suddenly, the Bramble Calamity Crocodile's huge tail swung fiercely at the city's defensive barrier.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out. It was as if mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart. The entire city and the surrounding area shook violently.
The white barrier that was hit by the Bramble Calamity Crocodile's huge tail rippled violently, and faint cracks could be seen on its surface.
With just one attack, the white barrier that Gray and Maruna could not deal with showed signs of damage. This was the strength of the Bramble Calamity Crocodile!
The Bramble Calamity Crocodile was a disaster-grade blood beast with earth elemental abilities. However, that was not all. Its strength and defense were comparable to a disaster-grade blood beast. Gray had only learned about it after reading through the Bilan family's library.
The books that he had read in the past did not contain any records of blood beasts of Calamity Grade and above. Therefore, he was completely clueless about blood beasts of Calamity Grade and above. Fortunately, the books of the Bilan family allowed him to gain some understanding in this area. It was not as clueless as before.
"Cracks have appeared on the defensive barrier!"
"The defensive barrier can't stop the Bramble Calamity Crocodile's attack!"
Seeing the crack on the white barrier, everyone from the Luo Lie Family understood what it meant. Their faces turned pale, without a trace of blood.
Some people couldn't help but urinate out of fear and despair, releasing a foul stench.
Some people retreated out of fear and actually fell down from the city wall.
"Your Excellency Gray, please stop. Everything can be negotiated!"
Aubrey Luo Lie's heart was also palpitating. His body instinctively wanted to tremble, but he forcefully suppressed it.
Even if he was a Magic Light Warrior, in front of the destructive power of a disaster-grade blood beast, he still had the urge to bow down. In the face of such destructive power, a Magic Light Warrior was just a slightly stronger insect.
"I will stop, but not now!"
Looking at the Luo Lie Family's ugliness, Gray's face was full of indifference.
Only by breaking the defensive barrier and tearing apart the last bit of the Luo Lie Family's confidence would he be able to completely destroy the psychological barrier of the Luo Lie Family and make them willingly become his slaves.
Although he had the ability to resurrect, he did not intend to resurrect too many people. He only intended to control the Luo Lie Family's patriarch, who was a Magic Light Warrior. As for the rest, he intended to use his strength to force them to submit.
People always cherished their lives. When they realized that if they did not submit, death would be the only outcome waiting for them. In fact, there were very few people who would rather die than submit.
If there really were such people, Gray naturally did not recommend killing them.
He did not feel sorry for the loss of talents. All he needed was a group of subordinates who would bow and scrape at his feet, who would govern this city and provide him with an endless supply of resources.
He did not care about the deaths. As long as there were enough people left to control this city, it was fine.
Rumble, rumble!
The Bramble Calamity Crocodile's giant tail slammed into the white barrier again and again, producing loud bangs one after another.
Every loud bang seemed to strike the hearts of the Luo Lie Family's members, causing their hearts to beat wildly. This was because every loud bang brought them closer and closer to death.
Under the pressure of despair, some people's expressions actually became sluggish. They were actually scared silly!
It was not that their psychological endurance was weak, but the fear that the Bramble Calamity Crocodile brought to them was too intense.
As people of the origin world, they understood the terror of a disaster-grade blood beast more than Gray. They understood what kind of ending awaited them once the defensive barrier was broken.
"Don't attack anymore. I'm willing to be your slave!"
Those who were not scared silly were not much better off. Many people had a mental breakdown and no longer had their previous arrogance. They sat on the ground and begged for mercy.
Gray looked at the ugly state of the Luo Lie Family's people indifferently. There was only coldness in his eyes, and there was no trace of guilt.
The situation had developed to this point because the Luo Lie Family had asked for it. After being high and mighty for a long time, the Luo Lie Family had become arrogant and treated other people's lives as a game. They could kill and take as they pleased. What he was doing now was just what they often did.
Crack!
More and more cracks appeared on the surface of the white barrier. Like a cracked glass, spiderweb-like cracks appeared. Finally, with a crisp sound, the white barrier shattered, turning into countless white lights and dissipating. There was no longer any obstruction between Gray and the Rollie family.
The Bramble Calamity Crocodile lowered its huge head and stared at the Luo Lie Family with its millstone-sized eyes. The Luo Lie Family's people could not help but retreat to the edge of the city wall.
But it was futile. With the Bramble Calamity Crocodile's speed, it could easily cross this distance if it wanted to attack.
Atop the Bramble Calamity Crocodile's head, Gray looked at the Luo Lie Family Patriarch, Aubrey Luo Lie.
"I'll ask you one last time. Are you willing to serve as slaves for generations to come?"
"The Luo Lie Family … will never become slaves!"
Facing the Bramble Calamity Crocodile's pressure, Aubrey Luo Lie's face was grim and cold sweat the size of beans dripped down his face.
"Is that so?
That's truly regrettable! "
Gray's expression was cold. A moment later, the Bramble Calamity Crocodile raised its massive claw and swung it at Aubrey Luo Lie.
Aubrey Luo Lie felt his hair stand on end as he dodged in fear. But no matter how fast he was, how could he be faster than the Bramble Calamity Crocodile?
Fwoosh!
A massive claw the size of a room slammed into him and slammed him into the city wall.
Countless bones in his body were broken, and his entire body was covered in blood. He had sunk deep into the city wall, and there was no sign of movement. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
The reason Gray had been able to escape from the calamity-grade blood fiend's attack back then was because under the effect of the Law of Time, Maruna's speed had already surpassed that of an ordinary calamity-grade blood fiend. Aubrey Luo Lie's speed was clearly not comparable.
"The Patriarch is dead! Run!"
The Magic Light Realm Patriarch, Aubrey Luo Lie, had died in a single blow. The remaining members of the Luo Lie Family had completely lost their will to fight. They turned around in despair and fear, jumping off the city wall and fleeing into the city.
Peng!
Outside the city wall, the Bramble Calamity Crocodile's four legs bent slightly and then fiercely stomped on the ground. Its forty-meter-long body soared into the air, crossing the city wall and leaping into the city.
As its massive body landed, a large number of buildings collapsed, and the first to bear the brunt of the impact were the members of the Luo Lie Family at the very front.
Puff!
Under the giant claw that was the size of a room, the people at the very front were trampled into meat paste. Those who were lucky enough to escape with their lives were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, feces and urine flowing out of their bodies.
"If anyone dares to run, they will end up like you!"
Standing on the Bramble Calamity Crocodile, Gray coldly said. His voice was not loud, but the Bramble Calamity Crocodile under his feet gave his words a powerful deterrent. Everyone who was fleeing in fear could not help but stop.
"Choose. Become my slave, or die …"
Gray's gaze was as sharp as a knife as he looked at the remaining people.
"Dream on! The Luo Lie Family will never stoop so low as to become a slave!"
An elder shouted angrily, but in the next moment, a giant claw slammed down, and his voice was abruptly cut off.
The giant claw lifted up, and his body had already disappeared. Only a pile of meat paste was left behind, and he could not even maintain his human form.
"Who else objects?"
The giant claw that was lifted up seemed as if it would fall at any moment. It was dripping with blood, both the elder's blood and the blood of the people who had just died.
"I am willing … to be your slave!"
"I am also willing … to be your slave!"
Knowing that resistance would only result in death, and that there was no one else like the elder, the members of the Luo Lie Family lowered their heads and bit their lips until they bled.
At this moment, their pride and glory had been torn to shreds, but at the same time, the pressure had also disappeared. With the pressure gone, their bodies seemed to have lost all strength, and they collapsed to the ground, greedily gasping for fresh air.
Some people couldn't help but console themselves. Perhaps following a powerful master was not a bad thing. Although they had lost their freedom, they now had a powerful backer, and the Luo Lie Family might become even more prosperous.
"Very good."
Gray nodded in satisfaction. He had finally achieved his goal. Compared to directly killing them, it had taken much more effort, but the rewards were also greater. The resources of a clan that controlled a city would be provided to him for his use, allowing him to increase his strength even faster.
Jumping off the Bramble Calamity Crocodile, Gray picked up the blood-soaked body of the Luo Lie Family's patriarch, Aubrey Luo Lie, and flew toward a forest outside the city.
Although the Luo Lie Family had already submitted, it was still necessary to plant a trustworthy person. Otherwise, the Luo Lie Family might feign obedience on the surface, but secretly do things behind his back that would harm his interests.
