Battle of Ascension

Chapter 456: World Contest (1)

"What do you say!??" Subas Banstola became agitated as soon as he heard this. He just signed a contract with Joseph and surrendered himself to a beastmen, but now, Happy Guild would not pursue this matter anymore as long as Warlord sent an official apology.

But now, all of this was useless. He had surrendered himself and Warlord to the beastmen. He had signed the death contract half an hour ago. There was no point to turn back now because as soon as he broke the contract, he would die.

Not only Subas, even Joseph, Amir, and Vanus was also incomparable shocked as they heard this. They thought Happy Guild was impossible to forgive Warlord at this time. That was why they were confident that Warlord would join them.

Even though Happy Guild made an unexpected move, but it did not matter now. They had achieved their goal, Warlord with addition its 20 million forces had joined them.

Joseph secretly relieved. 'Fortunately, I moved faster.'

Subas' second wife found her husband somewhat strange. She thought her husband would rejoice when she delivered this news. However, not only her husband did not rejoice, instead, he looked gloomy.

Not only her husband but everyone in the meeting room also the same. They looked bitter and even her third sister also looked gloomy. She found the atmosphere did not suit. She confused as she did not know what happened here.

Soon, she found there were two beastmen and three strangers inside the meeting room. Looking at these people, she felt a sense of foreboding. Subas' second wife repeated the message she received from Happy Guild once again.

"Are you sure?" Subas asked once again.

Subas' second wife utterly puzzled, but she still nodded her head, "Yes, they sent the message to me. This is the message!"

Then, a hologram appeared in front of Subas' second wife. She enlarged the hologram so everyone could read the message. It showed the message she received and the sender was Pristine. Even though Pristine position was only Long Xinya's private secretary, but now, she was the one who did most of Long Xinya workload.

The message was genuine, Happy Guild indeed did not plan to attack them at all. The condition was Subas had to come to Evergreen City to make an apology by himself. Second, Warlord had to compensate Happy Guild with 2 King Grade Blood Essence. Third, they had to pay indemnity 20 million gold.

Even though it was enormous, but Warlord still could afford it. However, all of this was too late, he was fated to be Happy Guild's enemy once more as he joined up with Evil Clan and surrendered to beastmen. Even though surrendering to beastmen was nothing important, but Evil Clan was with him. Sooner or later, he had to clash against Happy Guild once again in the future.

He glanced toward Joseph before looking toward the hawk head and lion head. Now, the two beastmen were his Bosses, he needed the two beastmen order.

"Alright, calm my friend! You shall think this matter carefully. Happy Guild's action, I feel something fishy with their action. They must be scheming and this peace only pretext!" Joseph calmly analyzed.

Yes, indeed there was something fishy in Happy Guild action, but what was that?

"They say they have to prepare for the World Contest!" Subas' second wife chimed in. She found these people did not read the message until the end, that was why she said this.

"World Contest!!??" Subas blurted out in confusion. He found the reason seemed to be absurd.

"Hmm, World Contest which supposed to be held in a week get delayed. World Contest get delayed and it will start in three weeks from now because of the beast and the monster will also participate in World Contest. The contest is not only for" Subas' second wife stopped her words as she glanced toward the two beastmen.

There was no need for her to finish her words, everyone understood what she said. The World Contest would be held with more participants, not only from human, but the other races also joined in World Contest.

"Here the renewal about the World Contest!" After that, Subas' second wife showed another hologram. The hologram showed something like a pamphlet, the detail of the World Contest was written on it.

After reading the pamphlet, Subas understood why Happy Guild suddenly changed their objective. They did not attack Warlord to strengthen the Human race force as their enemy in the World Contest was the other races.

Happy Guild was looking for the big picture and canceled their motion to attack Warlord. This was what crossed in Subas' mind. Not only Subas, the other thought so. Even Joseph could not help but think like this. The image of Happy Guild planted in their mind was like this.

"What about the six medium guilds?" Joseph asked again.

"The six medium guilds already disintegrated half an hour ago! Happy Guild attacked them an hour ago and Happy Guild has taken their territories!" Subas' second wife replied absentmindedly.

The reason she overjoyed was because of this. Happy Guild, in half an hour, destroyed six medium guilds at once. This thoroughly scared her as Warlord status was Happy Guild enemy.

If Happy Guild aimed their spear to Warlord, Warlord would share the same fate as Ravendawn Empire. Subas' second wife, without doubt, believed Happy Guild could achieve this. That was why she overjoyed when she got this message and she immediately wanted to share this with her husband.

However, now, it seemed her husband fell to the point without turning back upon noticing the three strangers and the two beastmen. She wanted to let out a sigh, but by how her husband behaved, she did not dare to do so. She had to behave as well, less made the situation got worse.

"There's something fishy, there's something fishy" Joseph kept muttering this as his mind was thinking what was the purpose of Happy Guild. But no matter how hard he thought, he could not find the answer.

"What's the time of the World Contest renewal?" Joseph asked as the frown on his forehead got deeper. He could not stay calm anymore, he had to know the Happy Guild move, he had to grasp the enemy, and ensure they were the one who held the control.

Subas' second wife looked askance with Joseph kept asking her. Moreover, based on the stranger tone, it was more like an interrogation. But she saw her husband nodded his head.

"13 minutes ago! You can check it in the forum!" Subas' second wife answered.

If Joseph looked at the time, it was more like Happy Guild doing this for the big picture of the human race. But Joseph would not believe this, he did not believe Happy Guild stopped the motion just because of this. But he could not find the true reason behind Happy Guild action. He was really could not find what was fishy.

"So What shall I do? Shall we accept the peace or we are going as we planned?" Subas asked. To be more exact, Subas asked the two beastmen.

"Of course accept the peace! If Warlord suddenly vanishes without a trace, it will only lead more suspicion toward Warlord. Moreover, I have a more important task for you. In World Contest, you will become our spy. If we have a chance in the World Contest, it does not close the possibility for us to make a move. Our primary target is Randy, Zhen Yi, and Long Xinya. Oh, also keep watch on David!

As for the compensation, I will help you with two King Grade Blood Essence. As for the gold, I guess Warlord can afford it, right?" The beastmen with lion head put two vials contained red liquid on the table.
