Chapter 73

The range of the Cyclops' attacks is roughly a thousand meters. The stone projectiles, after drawing an arc in the air, land and cause even greater destruction. However, after the flight time through the air, whether they can hit anyone upon landing is very questionable. Especially when the target is still a thousand meters away in the air, it is extremely difficult for the stone projectiles to hit their target.

"Roar!" Seeing only one person flying over, the Cyclops immediately launched their attacks, each creating a massive stone projectile and hurling it from a great distance.

Huh? Isn't there an elite among them? How could they make such a mistake?

When an elite unit is present, and they see that only one person has come over, the most likely scenario is to negotiate first, and if negotiations fail, then attack. Even if they attack immediately, it wouldn't be from such a distance; they would wait until the opponent enters the effective attack range before attacking.

Watching the Cyclops' actions, Liu Siyi shook his head. This is a lack of combat wisdom, or... perhaps the brain of this elite Cyclops is... a bit slow?

The Thunder Eagle is fast, with high agility. It gracefully flapped its wings, and Liu Siyi didn't feel any jolts as it dodged over twenty stone projectiles and quickly arrived above the Cyclops.

Blindness!

Instantly, the single eyes of over twenty Cyclops below were covered in a layer of black, unable to see anything.

"Roar!" The elite Cyclops roared again, temporarily calming the chaotic Cyclops. They attacked in the direction they remembered, but the accuracy of such attacks was predictable.

"Zzz..." The Thunder Light Bomb in front of him became increasingly bright, easily amplifying the magical elements inside to five times their original strength. It seems that with the improvement of strength, the power of magic and the control over magical energy gradually increase.

"Boom!"

The Thunder Light Bomb landed among the Cyclops and exploded, electric snakes flashing, instantly engulfing over twenty Cyclops.

Liu Siyi ultimately held back and didn't directly kill them. Otherwise, increasing it to ten times or even higher, a single Thunder Light Bomb would definitely be capable of directly killing them.

However, they are powerful sixth-tier units, and the war has just begun. There are still many uses for them. It's fortunate to encounter a Centaur hero, Nani, who greatly enhances ranged attacks. The Cyclops' ranged attack power will be further developed.

Although the conditions for recruitment are unknown, since both sides now belong to the Beastman race, if this doesn't work, Liu Siyi will have to resort to more drastic measures. At this moment, his body is full of evolutionary power. After absorbing so much, he believes he will gain a high-level skill.

Gradually, the magical power dissipated, the electric snakes disappeared, leaving only scorched black ground. Over twenty ordinary Cyclops fell to the ground, their bodies black, foaming at the mouth, and unconscious. The only one awake, the elite, knelt on the ground, breathing heavily.

At this moment, Dao Lang and the others also approached. Seeing the situation, they landed directly.

"Surrender! Or die!" Bill walked directly to the elite Cyclops, looking at this large creature that was almost as tall as him even when kneeling, and roared loudly. He slammed his long-handled Adamantine War Axe on the ground, making a loud "thud," adding to his imposing presence.

"We are all of the Beastman race; we should not kill each other." The two Cyclops who were brought over also came to the elite's side, repeating the words they had been taught.

"Lord, killing all of them would be enough for several of us to level up." Wolf looked at the unconscious Cyclops on the ground, his eyes gleaming, wishing he could kill them all immediately.

"You are wrong," Liu Siyi said calmly. "Our strength is not strong. If we can persuade these Cyclops to join us, our strength will increase by a factor of two, and the combat power we can unleash will be even greater. Moreover, even if we need to level up, it won't be several people leveling up simultaneously, but one of us killing them and obtaining all the evolutionary power."

Liu Siyi's words could easily make his subordinates think he wants to monopolize the benefits, so he had to explain. For anything you care about, it's best to explain clearly. Haven't you seen those ridiculous TV dramas where all the problems arise from misunderstandings? If you explain clearly, there wouldn't be so many issues.

To put it bluntly, some young people today have been corrupted by these ridiculous TV shows, thinking they are always right, only believing in themselves, and never listening to others' opinions.

After the explanation, Wolf understood the reason. He had always leveled up whenever possible, never considering the issue of evolutionary power. Therefore, each time he leveled up, he only gained a basic skill or an upgraded version of a skill. He had never thought about directly obtaining intermediate or advanced skills.

"You are now a fifth-tier hero, and the Cyclops are sixth-tier. The evolutionary power should allow you to gain an intermediate or advanced skill. If they do not surrender, this time, you will be the one to kill them." Liu Siyi said seriously, but he secretly regretted that he could only obtain half the evolutionary power. Both he and Wolf should be able to level up, but whether they can obtain advanced skills is uncertain. However, to win the hearts of the people, some necessary sacrifices are absolutely essential.

"Lord, if we can always obtain so much evolutionary power, wouldn't we become even stronger than units of the same tier?" Wolf took a while to digest this information and asked in surprise.

"Of course. If it weren't for the Goblins' dislike of fighting, a fourth-tier Goblin would not be much worse than you." Liu Siyi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wolf only frowned, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but coldly watching the Cyclops, unsure whether he hoped they would surrender or refuse.

After saying so much to Wolf, the elite Cyclops had also recovered a lot, and the other Cyclops had gradually woken up, but they lacked the strength to stand, let alone fight.

"Alright! Since you seem like a man, I'll tell you one more thing to save you from further resistance. When I followed my master, he was just a low-tier elite, not even a hero. Now, it's your good fortune to be considered by him. See those Goblin heroes? They were all cultivated by my master in a single day. So, if you agree to surrender, you might become a hero in the future." Seeing the stubborn eyes of the Cyclops, the trembling but unyielding body, Bill secretly admired his spirit. This is the true nature of our Beastman race. Therefore, he couldn't bear to see him killed and said a few more words.

"Hmph, truly loyal. To defend your master, you not only belittle yourself but also make wild claims." The elite Cyclops sneered, only narrowing his eyes when looking at his two fellow Cyclops.

"I admire you and don't want you to die in vain, so I told you all this. If you don't believe me, I can swear to the Beast God. Would you still not believe me?" Bill roared loudly, as if this would increase his persuasiveness.

"My demands are not high. I'll let the other things go. You seem loyal, and belittling yourself is fine, but if you swear that these Goblin heroes were cultivated from ordinary units in a single day, I will believe you and submit." The Cyclops still sneered, knowing that the Minotaur in front of him would never dare to swear.

"Alright! I, the Minotaur Bill, swear to the Beast God!..."

"Wait." Just as Bill was about to swear, Liu Siyi stopped him, saying, "A single day is a bit too tight. They were recruited in the morning of the first day and became heroes by the afternoon of the second day, so it should be two days."

"Uh..." Bill scratched his head, took a moment to react, and then asked loudly, "Does two days count?"

"Count!" At first, the Cyclops' sneer deepened when he saw the swearing being stopped, but then it turned to surprise. Hearing the Minotaur's loud question, he instantly realized that whether it was one day or two days, it didn't seem to matter much.

"Alright! I, the Minotaur Bill, swear to the Beast God! My master, Liu Siyi, cultivated ten Goblin heroes in two days! If not, I will accept any punishment!"

After Bill completed his oath, he looked provocatively at the stunned Cyclops, as if saying, "Now you should know what to do, right."
