Lord Era: I, The Strongest Lord Of The Abyss!

#490 - Chapter 490 Impossible Persuasion to Surrender

"Hey, Zhou Li!"

"Zhang Yang!"

Beneath the massive city walls, Wu Wei, fresh from "slaughtering" countless Night King soldiers, stood with dozens of lords, shouting Zhou Li and Zhang Yang's names.

"I know you can hear me!"

"So, stop hiding and come out!"

To be honest, hearing Wu Wei shout like this, the other lords expressed their utter incomprehension.

They really couldn't understand why Wu Wei insisted on risking an attack to come beneath the enemy's city walls, and why he had to drag them along.

Could it be that he wanted to persuade them to surrender?

But how was that possible?

Zhang Yang and Zhou Li were, after all, genuine enemies of the Empire, and the most despicable kind at that.

They had not only betrayed the Empire but also defected to alien lords. Before escaping the control of the human Empire, they had deliberately tortured and killed several human lords.

Such crimes could never be forgiven by the human Empire.

So, these lords believed that Wu Wei's "persuasion" was meaningless.

However...

After witnessing Wu Wei slaughter the Night King's soldiers with their own eyes, they inexplicably developed a sense of trust in him.

It was this trust, however unwarranted, that drove them, with a spectator's mentality, to come here and witness how Wu Wei would persuade them to surrender.

After all...

If this method worked, they might be able to use it in the future, right?

But alas.

Their idea was doomed to failure.

Because Wu Wei wasn't here to persuade them to surrender at all!

————————————

"Damn Empire dogs, fools belonging to the Imperial Academy, are you here to persuade me to surrender?"

"I'm telling you, there's no way!"

Just like the lords behind Wu Wei, Zhou Li naively believed that Wu Wei was here to persuade her to surrender.

So, she immediately labeled Wu Wei with two harsh accusations.

"Given the hatred and grievances between me and the Empire, there is no way I will ever be loyal to the Empire again!"

"Because this damned human Empire is essentially a festering tumor parasitic on all humans, all living beings, as such it...."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Suddenly, just as Zhou Li was about to denounce the human Empire and expose its dark side in front of these "loyal Empire dogs."

Wu Wei frowned and interrupted Zhou Li's speech.

"You've misunderstood, I'm not here to persuade you to surrender!"

"I don't think you are the kind of person who can be persuaded!"

"Then what are you doing here?"

Zhou Li glared at Wu Wei, but the next second, she was dumbfounded.

Because she discovered that this young lord below her had a somewhat abnormal thought process!

"I'm here to make a deal with you, Zhou Li!"

Hearing the word "deal," the lords behind Wu Wei cast shocked and disdainful glances at Wu Wei, but they quickly understood.

After all, during the last entrance exam, this madman had done something similar, hadn't he?

"A deal?"

"What deal?"

"Hehe, the content of the deal is very simple, Zhou Li...."

Wu Wei, standing below the city walls, now wore a smile that was both sincere and harmless, at least in his own eyes.

"Let me state one thing first."

"That is, in order to get the most credits, I will definitely cut off your head and take it back as a task!"

"So, that's why I said I wouldn't persuade you to surrender."

"But, although I am destined to cut off your head, the problem is, I can give you a choice."

"You can choose to spend a lot of money to bribe me so that I won't torture you in any way before I kill you!"

"And, I will give you a quick death, a real death!"

"If you pay each of the lords behind me ten thousand resource points, then they will be my witnesses!"

"What if I refuse?"

Hearing Zhou Li's question, Wu Wei chuckled.

"Then I promise, before I kill you, I will treat you in ways you can't even imagine."

Then, a series of terrifying words, words that even demons would never say, came out of his mouth.

Even more terrifying was that the punishments he mentioned were so terrifying that even demons would never think of them.

He was a natural torturer, and any punishment he mentioned, if implemented, would theoretically cause the tortured person to completely lose their mind.

"So, after hearing my description, don't you think what I just proposed is a very good deal?"
