Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1149 - 649 Coercion and Temptation_3

And how vast is the influence of the Conqueror Army, affecting not just one nation, one land, one city?

To counter them, cities along the Giant Dragon Coast had no choice but to unite and form the City Alliance, a situation that changed the course of history.

To counter them, the entire force of Goblin Margins got involved, resulting in the collapse of two major powers. Although one entity maintained its structure intact, it was already like meat on someone’s chopping block, just waiting to be slaughtered.

The conspiracy crafted by Anachet inadvertently provided the Conqueror Army, and Gaven, the perfect opportunity to interfere seamlessly in the situation at Tun Marsh.

Should their mixed Transcendent Battle Squad enter Tun Marsh uninvited, it would undoubtedly provoke opposition from the Blackscale Lizardman Tribe, and might even spark bloody conflicts, leading to deteriorating relations between both parties.

Yet now, being controlled by the Serpent People and the Lizard Serpent People, their intervention as rescuers, as allies, wouldn’t meet resistance; on the contrary, it would gather a wave of favorable impressions and also display their formidable military power, temporarily stationing there for repairs to prevent any counterattack from the Serpent People seemed only natural.

They certainly wouldn’t use the Serpent People’s despicable strategies of controlling the women and children of the Blackscale Lizardman Tribe to threaten the Blackscale Lizardfolk Army, but Gregory and others making this connection was not Gaven’s concern.

What was originally a disadvantageous situation for Gaven, in a blink of an eye, turned into a highly advantageous one.

After flattening the Serpent People’s High Priest with the War Marauder, Gaven didn’t retrieve it but let it stand rigidly; as for Anachet’s life and death, there was no need to remove the hammer to check, for his soul had already been harvested into Weizemay Manor.

Regarding the entire situation indifferently, he landed next to another bystander, Gregory, and said: "General, the chief culprit seeking to overthrow the Lizard Court has been executed. I believe we should now discuss the future of the Lizard Court."

Uncontrollably, Gregory glanced at the Lizard Queen, swallowed his saliva and said: "General, have you got the wrong person? Even if it’s about discussing, you should discuss with Her Majesty, not with me."

Gaven turned to look at the battlefield, where the Serpent People Curse Expeller was being battered beyond recognition by both the Six-armed Serpent Demon and the Lizard Queen, with at least a third of their body’s snakes slain, reducing their overall stature by half. The Six-armed Serpent Demon alone was enough to suppress them, and with a simple gesture, he drew the Lizard Queen back to Weizemay Manor.

Seemingly sensing something, the Lizard Queen struggled against the force, shouting aloud: "No, Lord! Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you. The treasures in my Dragon’s Nest, the rule over Tun Marsh, I’ll raise your banner and fight for you, embrace your faith, just let me stay in Tun Marsh..."

Before acquiring tens of thousands of souls at Weizemay Manor, she was helpless against it, and she was even more helpless now. The fact that she could express her intent fully was not due to her prowess but because Gaven intentionally allowed it, to further intimidate Gregory.

Seeing Gregory’s stiff eyes, it was clear this ploy worked excellently. In his eyes, the Lizard Queen was an invincible, despotic being, but in front of Gaven, she was like a tail-wagging, begging puppy; only total domination could achieve this.

Gaven, as if having done a trivial thing, continued discussing with Gregory: "General, we can continue our earlier discussion now. From this point onwards, the fate of every creature in Tun Marsh is in your hands. Ask yourself, do you really want to continue with the past life, truly want to let the Lizard Queen return to rule this land and govern all people?

You only have one chance to answer this question, and you must think carefully. If you think so, I will bring back the Lizard Queen to continue ruling here, because for me, the difference is not significant as my share of wealth will remain untouched, and Kurgor will duly pay tribute to me. But where will this additional wealth come from?"

"..." Gregory opened his mouth several times, but he seemed to have lost his speech, unable to voice his thoughts when words reached his lips. freeweɓnovel.cøm

On one side, his mother, whom he revered to the bone, on the other, the people of entire Tun Marsh, weighing their importance, he unexpectedly couldn’t discern.

"Is this choice hard to make, General Gregory?" the former Vizier, Spirit Soul Naga, approached at some point, playing the role of the good cop, "Kurgor’s gluttony has exceeded normal needs; she consumes merely for the sake of enjoyment, to eat for eating’s sake. As long as she remains in Tun Marsh, this incessant eating won’t stop. Now, Tun Marsh’s produce can still accommodate, but she’s a Giant Dragon, continuing to grow. When she enters the stages of Ancient Dragon, Ancient Ancient Dragon, do you think the produce of Tun Marsh can withstand her gluttony?

Moreover, each bite she takes is squeezed out of your own mouths, including wealth as such. When it’s time to pay tribute to Lord Gaven, her share must be complete, so it has to be squeezed out from you.

Yet if you are willing to take up this responsibility, become the new king of the Lizard Court, this part can be spared, and what you need to offer in return is to swear loyalty to Lord Gaven, draw one-fifth of the robust from your tribe to form an Amphibious Army for him, and monthly tribute, which could be one-tenth of your daily fish catch."

Spirit Soul Naga’s words hammered directly into Gregory’s soul.
