Global Lords: My Heroes Grow Infinitely
Chapter 120: Unexpectedly, a New Lord?

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Unexpectedly, a New Lord?

After receiving a definite response from Qianhuo, Lord Spike regained his confidence. No matter what happens, they must hold on until Qianhuo brings reinforcements.

"Gentlemen, Boss Qianhuo has already sent word; he’ll be here in an hour at the latest. Hold steady!"

"Don’t worry, even if the opponent is an experienced lord, we’re not weak," said Flat Head Lord.

They hadn’t seen the faces of the opposing leaders yet, but they assumed Rosen and his group were also seasoned lords.

They never expected that the ones who had developed their army to level five would be three new lords.

An hour can often decide many things, such as the fall of a territory.

This one hour is also like the last straw that breaks the camel’s back.

In reality, it’s less than an hour.

"We can’t hold on; Boss Qianhuo hasn’t arrived, nor have his men. All that’s left of my territory is the main city and a few barracks!"

Lord Spike felt as though his city was about to fall, with a growing sense of panic while besieged.

"Don’t worry about it; at worst, you’ll be eliminated, no big deal," Bald Lord comforted.

"Easy for you to say; you’re not the one being eliminated. I’m in the top twenty of the strong ranking, isn’t it infuriating? The competition is not even halfway done, and I’m about to be eliminated?"

"Tsk, why are you being stubborn? The competition is about strategy and troop deployment, not about how strong your heroes rank!"

"Yes, what you say is true, but as an experienced lord, am I not going to make it into the competition’s top twenty?"

Flat Head Lord and Bald Lord exchanged a glance, maintaining their silence.

"Even if my territory has to fall, you guys shouldn’t withdraw your main forces, right? Would it really be okay to just openly abandon me like this?" Lord Spike felt their years of friendship were teetering.

"Your territory is doomed, shouldn’t we preserve our strength? Don’t end up having all three territories falling before Qianhuo gets here; who would justify it for us?"

"Yeah, haven’t you thought about it? We’ve been experienced lords for five years; our opponent is surely no less experienced. Facing such an enemy, caution is paramount!"

"Later, just come to my territory. With me protecting you, you won’t get eliminated. We’ll cover for you until Boss Qianhuo comes; by then, we’ll be unbeatable. We can afford to support one more person," said Bald Lord.

As they spoke, Lord Spike began to see reason.

If the territory falls, the lord remains, so he won’t be out.

Even though the opening of air walls later would lead strong opponents to the area, with Qianhuo’s forces, there was nothing to fear.

By then, a super-large-scale legion will be formed, and no matter how strong the enemy is, they’d have to bow out.

"Alright, alright, what you say makes sense. Let’s just watch and wait to see which top-ranking lords these three are," Lord Spike asserted.

Among experienced lords, there were quite a few they knew, but also many they didn’t recognize, and they hadn’t seen the armies under their command.

With the scattered barracks within the territory being destroyed one after another.

The armies of Rosen and his group continually infiltrated.

Since the tide had turned in this enemy territory, Rosen realized their troops were gradually retreating, as if they had already decided to abandon this territory to preserve their strength.

Once the situation felt secure, Rosen and his party penetrated deeper into the mostly cleared territory.

Upon advancing, they saw the three enemy lords.

When they met, both sides were visibly agitated.

"Are these the three lords attacking my territory?"

"They’re all unfamiliar faces, strange, never seen them before!"

"Are they experienced lords?"

"Wait a minute, that Angel Lord, it’s the Twelve-winged Angel Goddess awakening!"

"Is it Nangong Wan?"

"Impossible, Nangong Wan is fighting at the front; how could she be here? There’s only one possibility..."

"It’s Tang Xichen!"

"How could it be her? She’s a new lord, her hero template awakening is strong but still so inexperienced. Has she already caught up with experienced lords?"

Upon seeing that one of the lords was Tang Xichen, the three seasoned lords’ expressions momentarily froze.

But soon they turned to assess the other two lords’ identities.

"An experienced lord from the rankings, perhaps, leading new ones would make sense."

However, when they saw that the other two lords were a Human Race Mage and a male version of Mavi, they were somewhat surprised.

"Never seen them, unfamiliar faces, perhaps they’re unknown experienced lords."

"Let’s say hello first, and test the waters."

So, as Rosen and his team got closer, it was Lord Spike who first asked:

"People from the Tang Family, no wonder it’s a big family, do they have elders leading teams?"

Opposite them, Rosen and Ye Yuxuan exchanged glances, maintaining an indifferent expression.

"You must have mistaken us. Tang Xichen and I are classmates," Ye Yuxuan then said.

"Classmates?" Lord Spike’s eyes filled with doubt. If they were classmates, then these three wouldn’t all be newbies, right?

Turning to Rosen, he asked, "And you, which seasoned lord on the rankings are you?"

"Rankings? Can we not constantly talk about rankings, please? We three are rookies; we can’t even beat the bottom of the rankings."

Rosen spoke with a humble expression: "Aren’t you three new lords too? Don’t flatter us; losing is losing, shameful as it is."

With that, Rosen offered no face, leaving them embarrassed.

"Damn, they’re all new lords; how could this be?"

"You ask me, who do I ask? Newbies... we actually lost to newbies!"

Lord Spike and the others immediately felt the urge to find a hole to hide in. This was just too humiliating.

Struggling so hard only to be defeated, and it turns out the opponents are all rookies?

"Ahem, ahem, though we’re all rookies, there is still a gap between different newbies, right? After all, we have thoroughly studied The Art of War and received proper battle training. Did you have seasoned lords coaching you?"

"Coaching?" A strange expression appeared on Rosen’s face.

Recalling how Tang Xuanze had specially trained them before the competition, he said, "You could say that, we were specially trained."

Lord Spike’s expression eased at last, that made sense. Being specially trained explained it. Even though they lost to newcomers, these newcomers had special training, not too unfair a loss.

"Was the special training tough?" Lord Spike asked again.

"It was okay, the ones training us went easy, not too strict, and I held back a little too, so fair enough."

Rosen noticed their lack of hostility, and since the Lord Dominance Competition values friendship over rivalry, there was no need for animosity, so he chatted with them a bit.

However, his words made Lord Spike feel a bit inferior.

His expression was unpleasant, yet he still said, "In the arena, we’re enemies, but outside, we might be friends. Let’s exchange contacts for future interactions."

Lord Spike really wanted to know Rosen, as one of the three was Tang Xichen, a genius from the prestigious Tang Family, likely to become the next Nangong Wan.

And judging from appearances, Rosen was the backbone among the three, unworthy of being underestimated.

Just then, a voice came from a distance: "Spike, why can’t you hold on?"

From afar, a Fire Elf flew over, only to find Lord Spike’s territory lost.
