Mike shut his mouth. He looked at the Guardian, and his meaning was clear. The Guardian also understood Mike’s meaning from the his expression.

“When more people come, the points will inevitably be divided. There is no risk of those star-ranked treasures being exchanged.” Mike changed the topic at the right time.

The Guardian nodded, his expression extremely ugly.

Mike smiled and said: “Are you not confident in the Imperial Palace’s treasury, or are you not confident in the imperial palace? As the owner of the Otherworld for tens of thousands of years, I’m afraid no one knows how much wealth the Imperial Palace has accumulated. But everyone knows that even if ten more come, they might not be as rich as the Imperial Palace.”

The Guardian nodded. He said to himself, “That’s the truth.”

Mike looked at the Guardian and continued, “Another important point is that you shouldn’t forget that most of the enemy’s power comes from the undead who don’t know fatigue or pain. If we fight against them, we can’t fight in a tug-of-war. Otherwise, the ones who will suffer in the end will be us. Why don’t we use the power of thunder and lightning to defeat them now so that more people won’t die in the long-drawn-out war?”

The Guardian looked at Mike with some respect. He now understood why Mike had the confidence to challenge the Ruler. This understanding of the undead could save the Otherworld a lot of losses.

The Guardian glanced at Mike and sighed. He muttered to himself, “But when the war is over…”

Mike said, “There’s no time to lose. We have to get them to move now. The Alliance Leader is not a fool. We have so many people now. He will definitely avoid us temporarily. If we delay any longer, he will definitely lead his undead subordinates back to the Otherworld. At that time, as long as he spends a year with us, the morale and strength that we have accumulated will be gone, and the Otherworld will be destroyed by itself.”

Mike thought to himself, ‘And that leader of yours. who can withstand his petty tricks?’

Mike said, “Everyone, you can set off now. There’s no time to lose. The earlier you go in, the greater the probability of getting points. But the chances and risks are…”

No one heard what Mike said after that. When Mike said the word ‘set off’, there was only dust on the ground.

The Alliance Leader slammed the information in his hand on the table. He glared in the direction of Rising Water City and said, “Mike, you’re going too far. You can even think of such a sinister move! What do you think we should do now?”

No one dared to express their opinions at this time. They all knew that the Alliance Leader could do anything.

“Guardian, tell me, what should we do?”

The Guardian’s fair face seemed to be covered in ten thousand years of ice. He said coldly, “Retreat.”

The Alliance Leader looked at the Guardian. In the end, he slammed the table heavily and said to the Guardian, “As you said, inform all departments to retreat back to the Otherworld.”

The astonishing efficiency was displayed at this time. Within an hour, they had arranged everything that could be taken away. Following the Alliance Leader’s order, everyone began to retreat to the Otherworld.

The mercenaries from the Otherworld drove straight in. They were not stopped at all along the way. They chased all the way to the Otherworld’s port and finally stopped at the entrance of the port.

They were not idiots. Everyone knew that there must be an ambush here. Whether or not the first person who entered could come out from the other side in one piece, the answer was almost a hundred percent negative.

Very quickly, Mike also arrived at the Otherworld’s region port. He looked at the region port’s entrance and said, “It doesn’t matter, we don’t need the region port to be able to…”

“Wait a moment!” The Guardian shouted, “Since the enemy has already retreated back to the Otherworld, then the bounty order ends here!”

“What?” Mike looked at the Guardian and said slowly, Lord Guardian, do you know that if they retreated back today, they wouldn’t be able to gather so many people.”

The Guardian looked at Mike and sneered. “Lord Mike, why do you need to do this? Our imperial palace has 18 groups of cavalry, 108 groups of protectors, and 365 marquises. Why do you need this motley crew?”

Mike frowned. Only now did he understand that he had been fooled. He had been fooled by the Ruler and the Spiderweb. He had been wondering why the Ruler had not sent out his army, instead, he had mobilized the men of the various dukes from the beginning. Now it seemed that he had planned it!

Mike felt a lingering fear in his heart. He was thinking that it was fortunate that he had not dragged the entire Dragon Castle here. Otherwise, there would only be death waiting for them.

Mike nodded and said to the Guardian, “I understand.”

The Guardian nodded and said to Mike, “Lord Mike, don’t do anything foolish. Even if you lose all of Your Dragon Castle, it won’t be enough for this bunch of Lords to get their spoils of war for an hour.”

The Guardian spoke to Mike, but they were not meant for Mike.

Everyone clearly heard what the Guardian said. They looked at Mike, their eyes filled with fury. At this moment, all the contradictions had been skillfully transferred to Mike by the Guardian’s words. Mike had become the public enemy of all the high-level experts.

A divine-tier expert walked out. He looked at Mike and asked, “Lord Mike, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”

Mike looked at that person and said, “Things have already come to this. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to give you the explanation you want to hear.”

Everyone was infuriated by Mike’s attitude. The person who had asked Mike a question rushed up to Mike and stabbed him in the chest. If Mike was hit by this attack, he would probably be seriously injured even if he did not die.

However, Mike just stood there and did not dodge.

Clang!

The Guardian easily blocked the attack for Mike and used a soft force to push Mike and the strong man away.

The Guardian looked at the strong men and said, “Everyone, as the Lord of the Otherworld, the Imperial Palace has decided to compensate you for the… er… cost of missing work. Yes, the cost of missing work. Please go to the city gate and line up to receive it.”

Hearing this, everyone ignored Mike and turned around to go to the city gate.

The Guardian looked at Mike and asked, “Why didn’t you dodge just now?”

Mike laughed wildly and asked, “Can he kill me even if I don’t doge?”

The Guardian was stumped by Mike’s question. He did not want to be entangled with Mike on this topic anymore. He changed the topic and said to Mike, “Lord Mike, His Majesty the Ruler said that as long as you can obey him, he will give you a beast and let you take down the Otherworld. At that time, you will be in the Otherworld and be the Lord like the Ruler. How good would that be?”

Mike was stunned.
