Weapon seller in the world of magic

With a single but power-packed punch to the domain’s barrier, Ark Gamma broke it, making way for King Qi and his army to enter the city.

As soon as the barrier is broken, thousands of adventurers and soldiers rush at them. King Qi’s fire drake flew forward and he raised the sword above his head, conjuring flames around the sword’s blade.

"Flames of… what?"

As Alina jumped from one of the robots and landed on another, it rushed forward, lowering its body and slamming onto the ground.

"Ark Nu, Absolute Freezing."

In a matter of seconds, the entire city… that’s right. The entire imperial city, all the structures, buildings, people, plants, ponds, lakes, everything that was attached to the ground was frozen in ice, transforming the surroundings into a frozen land, except for the people.

On the frozen battlefield, both King Qi’s troops and the city defenders trouble had their footing but the former was burning for battle while the latter was intimidated by the colossal robots.

"Ark Epsilon, Use Icy Mist."

An icy mist was unleashed by another robot’s hands simultaneously. This one froze thousands of people at once.

King Qi: "…"

And then, a couple of them followed up by pouncing on the frozen spirit warrior with powerful punches, exterminating thousands in a second.

One after another, Alina led the 15 colossal robots to the imperial palace, destroying everything on her path.

Every skill attack from the robot, atleast five to six thousand deaths occurred.

Whatever survived, King Qi’s army finished them off. Despite all that heavy motivational speech, he and his army found out to be nothing more than support characters. However, not even one casualty this time. And Alina automatically became the commander of the army, representing Genesis Federation instead of the Golden Eagle kingdom.

Under her orders, those who resisted were killed but those who tried running away from their path were left off. Most of those who ran away were citizens who put up a brave front earlier. One can’t even call a battle for a detailed description.

It’s just a pure massacre of the robots.

In a matter of mere 25 minutes, after 78000 casualties, King Qi’s army has already reached the palace gates. Twenty thousand more soldiers stood there in a formation. The Dragon Empire’s silver legion was also waiting there. Surprisingly, Shi Chong was there as well. In fact, he was standing on the front of the whole army. The demigod and Shi En were standing by his side, but the Sect leaders and vassal lords were seen standing far away from him as if they didn’t want to be associated with him. As for the leader of the Swordsman guild, he wasn’t seen anywhere.

As the robots surrounded the palace, Alina and King Qi confidently walked forward; none attacked from both sides and let those two approach Emperor Shi, who had his head down and clenching his fists.

"So, you decided to surrender after causing thousands of casualties, you bas*ard?" King Qi tightened his grip on the sword’s handle as he pointed it at Shi Chong.

Shi Chong stayed silent, and Shi En spoke on his behalf, "Yes, and uhh… I would like to talk to Chancellor Lu Zhen’s representative over here about whether it is still possible for the solution you provided us, you know that one-on-one fight?"

"You must be joking," King Qi scoffed at his proposal. He poured his ether energy into the sword, and the flames enveloped its blade, "do you think you even have the right to negotiate the terms now?"

"Wait…" Alina tapped his arm and stopped him from proceeding further. She asked Shi En, "Do you make decisions on behalf of Leon Empire?"

Shi En gave a glance at his uncle and nodded, "Yes, I was given the authority to represent the Emperor."

Alina then said, "My master had a good impression of you, Shi En, mainly due to your bloodline connection with the elves. I believe you also agreed to his arrangement to take over one of the vassal states to work under him. We don’t have any qualms about you supporting Shi Chong because he is your uncle. But, if you represent Leon Empire, it would change many things. Like for example, the Church of Nuwa would pay for the promise you have broken. So, please do think twice before answering my question once again. Do you make decisions on behalf of Leon Empire?"

Shi En fell silent for a few seconds and turned his head to the side, "I’m sorry, Uncle. I can’t be your negotiator." Shi Chong’s eyes widened in surprise. He looked at him. Meanwhile, Shi En turned to the front to face Alina and said, "No, I won’t make the decision. But I have sworn to protect my uncle. So, I won’t step aside."

Alina nodded with a smile. "That’s fine for us," She said, taking a glance at Shi Chong.

"So, why are you even here if you don’t intend to talk, Shi Chong?" She asked.

Shi Chong let out a deep breath and finally faced her before momentarily shifting his attention to King Qi, "Qi Tianchen, you may have won the war, but I know that this city fell because of those things, Lu Zhen’s army, not yours. I surrendered because I realized that I was not a match for them. I’m not afraid of you. If you want to cut off my head, go on, but the victory would never be yours. If you want the history books to record that King Qi Tianchen of Golden Eagle Kingdom took his revenge with his own hands, then I dare you to accept my challenge. No need to restrict your cultivation or whatever. It will be just us, right now, and right here.

You win, the entire Leon Empire will surrender to you. All of my soldiers will be your prisoners. And if I win, your soldiers and those giant things will back away."

Shi Chong’s voice turned louder and louder as he spoke further, trying to provoke King Qi even more, "If you think you can’t win against someone who is two realms lower than you, you can refuse the challenge, and we can resume the war. I’ll die fighting trying. I will lose thousands of soldiers more. I don’t know how history remembers me, but you will surely be remembered as the Butcher for trying to choose violence even after I put forth a proposal that could evade countless deaths. And by the way, I didn’t abduct your wife. We loved each other and she willingly came with me. Why? Because her husband is an impotent."

"You… dare…" The flames around King’s Qi intensified with rage built up in his body. But just then…

*Clap* Clap* Clap*

Alina started clapping with an amusing smile on her face in response to Shi Chong’s challenge, taking King Qi by surprise. She couldn’t help but comment, "That was a great speech, except that the onus has been shifted from King Qi’s head to ours the moment you defied our proposal, and I’m the commanding officer at the moment. So, he doesn’t have the right to decide your fate."

"But…" King Qi was about to protest and say something, but Alina didn’t let him speak as she said, "Let me finish. King Qi, why are you so in a hurry to judge things when I talk? This was the second time you did it today. You have been a pretty good listener when he talked."

"Uhhh…" King Qi had no idea how to respond to it. He was aware that she was a puppet but her behavior was more human-ish than a human. And as a wise king, he knew that he could not win an argument against a friendly woman. Moreover, after witnessing the might of Alina and her army, he doesn’t have the courage to offend her. He could only apologize to her and let her continue, "Sorry. Please go on."

"Good… now where are we? Okay… Shi Chong, first things first, you lost the war, and that makes you our prisoner. If you aren’t convinced, my little friends are more than ready to convince you…" Alina let out a smile as the others shuddered. "Hence, there is no question of moving our army back away. However, because you think King Qi hasn’t got a fair chance of revenge, we would give you a choice. The same offer. You and your army would follow us to Huangying City, where you shall battle King Qi using the same terms we mentioned earlier. It won’t be a death match. So, no need to worry unless you lose. You win, your mistakes will be forgiven, and you will be set free. You lose, and your fate will be decided by our Chancellor.

Since you are so adamant about giving us a choice of peace when you lost significant lives, this is our counter-proposal. Accept it, or else every single resident will die here. Until now, our focus was only trampling on the ones who resist us on our path as we reach you. Our Chancellor won’t believe in unnecessary killing. But, if you refuse, well…"

*Snap*

With a snap of his finger, the fifteen robots turned around, and all raised their hands, pointing them at the rest of the city at the same time, and energy was being conjured in front of their palms.

"I don’t think I need to say the rest, do I?"

Alina’s face was all smiles but her words shook the core of every listener. Even King Qi couldn’t help but look at her back in a daze, wondering, "How could she say those things with such an expression?"
