Chapter 1362 - 1344: I Will Become the New City Lord Here
How can we help Witch Star fight against the Dwarf Star people?"
Long Qi and Wanyan Bai exchanged glances, then looked at Yang Xiao.
Elder Qi sighed, smiling bitterly,
"We have only about a hundred people secretly residing here on Witch Star. The highest level of genetic evolution is myself, at the Emperor Level Primary Level, while the others are at Empire Level Advanced realm.
But with our limited strength, not to mention the ten clans of the Dwarf Star people, we can’t even handle this Death Castle. Asking us hundred people to fight against Dwarf Star? Haha..."
Elder Qi smiled bitterly, filled with helplessness.
Yang Xiao glanced at everyone and said plainly,
"According to Elder Gu Bo, Witch Star had you all secretly infiltrate Dwarf Star more than a hundred years ago. What have you been doing during this time?"
Yang Xiao’s question was a bit sharp. Elder Qi, Wanyan Bai, and others looked embarrassed.
Wanyan Bai said,
"Young Master Yang, you’re new here and don’t understand the situation on Dwarf Star. It’s extremely complex and brutal. According to Witch Star’s plan, over this hundred years, one or two thousand people were actually transported here, but only about a hundred survived.
You came from Death Street, right? I don’t know if you bought your way here or fought through.
Many people without a crystal disk come to Central Continent, and their only option is to hunt demon beasts in the wild and sell them in small towns for money.
But the people of Central Continent mostly consist of criminals from various Dwarf Star territories, who escaped punishment. Many of our compatriots died at their hands.
Surviving on Dwarf Star is already extremely difficult, let alone developing strength and spying on Dwarf Star secrets.
As for Elder Gu Bo’s hope that we might infiltrate Dwarf Star’s upper echelons, it’s almost impossible.
As just a hundred of us stand before the Dwarf Star people, our strength is insignificant. Frankly, we’re no better than a bug.
How can we influence Dwarf Star’s invasion of Witch Star?"
After Wanyan Bai spoke, others in the room looked gloomy.
Yang Xiao could imagine their hardships. He had a deep understanding after passing through Death Avenue. Even someone like the Flying Sword Old Three, with a genetic evolution level of half-step Emperor Level, wouldn’t enter Death Castle without paying a protection fee.
"There should be many cities in Central Continent and other places in Dwarf Star. Why choose Death Castle as a base instead of other cities or going directly to Thanos Saint’s territory?"
Elder Qi heard Yang Xiao’s words and smiled bitterly,
"Young Master Yang, you may not know, Dwarf Star’s tribal system is very strict. As people of Witch Star, our body features and appearance differ significantly from the Dwarf Star people. It’s extremely difficult to blend into their tribes.
I’ve been on Dwarf Star for 102 years, and we’ve tried various ways to infiltrate Dwarf Star’s tribes, mostly failing. Many were killed by them.
Central Continent, also called the Death Continent and Abandoned Continent, holds many who committed crimes in other tribes and escaped punishment.
This place houses people from hundreds of Dwarf Star tribes, and it’s the only place without a tribal hierarchy system.
Even for us Witch Star people arriving here, we won’t be rejected due to tribal issues.
Before I came to Dwarf Star, Witch Star secretly transported hundreds to Dwarf Star, most of whom died. Helpless, we moved to Central Continent seeking survival,"
Speaking of which, Elder Qi’s eyes welled up with tears, seemingly recalling those tragic times.
"The greatest advantage of Central Continent is the absence of tribal hierarchy, allowing any outsider. No one cares about which tribe or planet you come from.
However, Central Continent has its own brutality. Without rulers, various forces constantly fight; people deceiving each other, smiling one second and stabbing the next.
In such a survival environment, the young people we transported over were at Empire Level Primary Level. Surviving is really hard.
Alas, from the hundred that came with me, only I am left,"
Elder Qi said, possibly remembering comrades he once fought along with, tears hung from his eyes.
"Death Castle, among many forces in Central Continent, is relatively the safest place. Pay ten thousand crystal disks and you get limited safety. That’s why we chose Death Castle as our base."
"Limited safety? What do you mean?"
Yang Xiao asked.
Beside him, Wanyan Bai glanced at the Jade Pendant on Yang Xiao’s chest and explained,
"As long as you wear this Jade Pendant inside Death Castle, no one will assassinate you. But once you step outside the castle, if someone wants to kill you, you have to protect yourself."
"Ah, I see."
Yang Xiao thought for a moment, then asked,
"Is the City Lord of Death Castle powerful? What realm?"
"City Lord Da E and Deputy City Lord Tamge are both at the Emperor Level Primary Level, and have five thousand guards, all at Empire Level, including two thousand at Empire Level Advanced, two thousand at Empire Middle Level, and a thousand at Empire Level Primary Level."
"And our people, the number, evolution levels?"
Wanyan Bai glanced at Elder Qi, who nodded.
With Elder Qi’s permission, Wanyan Bai said,
"We have one hundred fifty-eight people now. Elder Qi is the only one at Emperor Level Primary Level, ninety-eight at Empire Level Advanced, and the rest are at Empire Middle Level."
Yang Xiao furrowed his brows slightly and said,
"I once heard Elder Gu Bo say that each batch of people sent here were young with certain evolution talents. Why isn’t your overall evolution level higher?"
Elder Qi and the others looked embarrassed.
A middle-aged man smiled bitterly,
"Young Master Yang, this is not Witch Star. On Witch Star, we had complete genetic evolution training and ample evolution resources.
But here? Neither genetic evolution training academies nor sufficient evolution resources. We constantly face death threats.
What good are our evolution talents?
We must spend more time and energy to maintain our survival before we can think about improving genetic evolution ability."
Yang Xiao nodded, understanding.
After a moment’s thought, Yang Xiao glanced at everyone and said,
"My first goal is to kill City Lord Da E and Deputy City Lord Tamge, seize Death Castle, and become its new City Lord."
