Chapter 2447: Chapter 1102: My Loyal Subjects, Drink Up!

Lin Baici, though dissatisfied with Chestnut medal, still decided to keep this Sword Saint for now, to help share the burden of the attack because of the terrifying enemy, the Gods.

So, Lin Baici called out Chestnut medal’s name.

For some reason, Chestnut medal felt a sense of relief as soon as he heard Lin Baici selected him.

"Thank you!"

Chestnut medal bowed his head, sincerely expressing his gratitude.

The others who weren’t chosen by Lin Baici were panicking.

Although the King had said that those chosen by Lin Baici would be killed, the situation was clearly abnormal.

Otherwise, why would Lin Baici choose Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu?

They were his companions.

"God Lin, please choose my choir!"

Dudek finally spoke up.

Lin Baici didn’t directly refuse but glanced at those young men and women, then gave an answer: "I can only keep four of them for you!"

"You choose yourself!"

"Thank you, God Lin!"

Dudek didn’t use his old credentials to threaten Lin Baici but took out a silver necklace.

The necklace had a feather-shaped pendant hanging from it.

"Wearing it, you can grow a pair of wings and soar in the sky like a bird!"

Dudek knew that at this time, it was impossible to move Lin Baici without paying a high price: "Choose ten people, and it’s yours."

Everyone’s hearts were immediately on edge, especially those employees of the Xijing Security Bureau.

They didn’t know Lin Baici well, and being selected was entirely due to their identity as Security Bureau staff. But no matter how precious this identity was, it couldn’t compare to a top-tier Divine Prohibition item.

"Six!"

Lin Baici bargained.

Indeed, upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed dramatically.

Because there were six unlucky souls who were going to be abandoned.

"Deal!"

Dudek agreed and tossed the necklace to Lin Baici.

"..."

Lin Baici was somewhat surprised; he thought Dudek would continue to haggle.

It seems he underestimated him.

"God Lin, I can act as cannon fodder; if you tell me to go east, I will not go west!"

"Lord Lin, I have Healing Divine Grace, which is very beneficial for the team!"

"I also have Healing Divine Grace!"

People knew begging compassion wouldn’t earn Lin Baici’s sympathy, so they started to talk about their worth.

Those with little value promised they would work like cattle and horses, just to survive first.

"Quiet!"

The man with an eye patch who introduced himself as Wang Sen suddenly let out a low shout.

His shout clearly carried the effect of Divine Grace, which made those weaklings dizzy and nauseous, unable to speak.

"God Lin, I am Wang Sen of Dark Erosion, nicknamed the One-eyed Giant!"

Wang Sen had been stern-faced, somewhat arrogant, but knowing he was begging, he should have forced a smile. However, as a powerful figure, he was long unused to smiling, resulting in a twisted, rigid expression.

It really was difficult for him.

"Wow, the One-eyed Giant?"

Xia Hongyao’s eyes immediately widened, carefully scrutinizing the man with the eye patch.

Wang Helin was no exception.

This organization, known as the world’s most terrifying, was too mysterious, and there was little information on any of its members. Now one suddenly appeared, piquing Wang Helin’s interest.

"Damn, who’s not good at bragging? I could say I’m the God of Darkness!"

The God of Darkness is the leader of Dark Erosion!

"I’m the Blue Enchantress!"

"I won’t pretend anymore, I’m the Red Comet!"

People started chattering, fabricating impressive identities, trying to bluff their way through.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

San Miyairi couldn’t stand it anymore: "Do you think Lord Lin is foolish or blind?"

"Can’t we tell what level you are?"

What a joke, a bunch of nobodies pretending to be big shots without fear of being laughed at.

Lin Baici was surprised; he had thought there was something unique about the man with the eye patch, but hadn’t expected such a formidable background!

"Good!"

Lin Baici called Wang Sen’s name, ready to continue selecting people, but the King spoke.

"Enough!"

The King looked displeased: "You’ve wasted too much time!"

"Let’s leave it at that!"

In truth, the most important reason was that Lin Baici saw through his game.

The King originally intended for Lin Baici to fret over picking who to save, only to find in the end that those he wanted to protect were the ones to die.

Such a situation would be devastating for this young man!

The King delighted in such scenes.

But now it seemed, Lin Baici had figured out his intentions.

This meant there was no need to continue the game.

"King, surely you won’t hold grievances against us mere mortals?"

Lin Baici tried to provoke, worried the King might go back on his word.

"Hmph!"

The King waved his hand: "Guards, drag away those he didn’t choose, and have them quartered!"

Xia Hongyao and Wang Helin showed an expression of ’just as expected’ upon hearing the King’s words.

"How did you figure it out?"

Chestnut medal was dying of curiosity.

"Instinct!"

Lin Baici casually brushed off.

"..."

Chestnut medal rolled his eyes, not believing a word!

The Golden Armor Guards standing by the hall’s sides advanced in unison, their footsteps as dense as a death god’s symphony.

"God Lin, don’t abandon us!"

"Damn it, fight our way out!"

"Godfather, HELP ME!"

Those abandoned by Lin Baici were all in a panic.

Some ran towards the hall’s exit, some knelt down, begging Lin Baici and Dudek for help.

The Golden Armor Guards stepped forward, and facing those trying to escape, threw their spears.

The battle began.

Among them, a great general known as the thousand-man slayer wielded two axes, leaving a swath of severed limbs everywhere he went.

"Haha!"

The King was unafraid, instead drinking wine while enjoying the bloody scene.
