I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1013 - Chapter 1013 Chapter 1014 Switching Factions_1

Chapter 1013: Chapter 1014: Switching Factions_1 Chapter 1013: Chapter 1014: Switching Factions_1 Seeing Song Jian flying over, Tutankhamun and the others looked at the Flame Light Wings on his back with astonishment on their faces.

“It’s really hard to imagine that he actually has a pair of light wings. Could it be that he has already obtained the bloodline of a high-ranking angel?” Tutankhamun muttered softly.

“Only a powerful figure like that is qualified to eliminate us, and now that I see his light wings, I suddenly realize that the Cloud City he built is quite different from the Cloud City I saw at the City Lord Mansion concerning this world,” another examinee said.

“That’s true. If it were the Cloud City of this world, the construction time alone would probably take at least several months; it’s simply impossible to appear in the battle mode…”

“All right, gentlemen, he is coming, let’s maintain at least some dignity!” Tutankhamun, controlling his warhorse, took a couple of steps forward and said to the others as he stared at Song Jian.

“Where did the others go?” Song Jian glanced at the four elemental faction examinees who remained in place and curiously asked.

“Unwilling to accept defeat, they’re trying to cause you some trouble. They have gone to the farthest main city. As long as they take over there, you must capture the main city they occupy to secure your final victory!” Tutankhamun revealed a hint of a smile, hoping to see a flustered expression on Song Jian’s face at the last moment, but unsurprisingly, he found nothing.

“Oh, is that so? It’s quite troublesome indeed!” A faint smile appeared on the corner of Song Jian’s mouth, “Then what about the four of you? Have you resigned yourselves to defeat?”

“We have failed!” Tutankhamun spread his hands and spoke with the distinctive voice of water elementals, “I planned this war, and since we’ve failed, we’ll calmly face the consequences of our defeat, retaining the last bit of dignity. Now, you can kill us and completely eliminate us from the competition.”

The battle ahead had entered its final stage, with many lower-tier troops starting to scatter and flee. Catherine had already led her troops away from the castle to pursue these scattered and fleeing defeated soldiers.

“Actually, you still have another choice…” Song Jian looked at the four examinees who had stayed put and smiled, “Would you be willing to switch sides and become one of my vassal heroes?”

“What? Is that even possible?” Tutankhamun’s face showed surprise.

Could examinees really become vassal heroes to one another? If that were the case, how could such an obvious bug exist?

If everyone who entered this Assessment World became one person’s vassal heroes, wouldn’t that mean everyone could pass this assessment?

If such a thing were to happen, it would probably become the biggest joke of this second-tier Combat Power assessment.

Song Jian, too, had only received the system prompt after approaching victory. However, there were limits to recruiting other examinees as vassal heroes. The overall recruit limit for a faction to take on examinees from other factions as vassal heroes could not exceed ten.

Moreover, the recruited examinee vassal heroes would pass the assessment at the most basic pass mark, which is to say, with a C+ grade evaluation, which for many, is hard to accept.

Once Song Jian finished explaining these restrictions, the light of hope in the eyes of the four examinees dimmed significantly.

Those who could enter this special Assessment World were all confident in themselves. They sought to gain stronger combat power by entering such special assessment environments. Otherwise, given their abilities and backgrounds, they would have already passed the second-tier Combat Power assessment.

“If that’s the case, I can only thank you for your kindness, but it’s impossible for someone from the Tutankhamun family to pass the second-tier Combat Power assessment with a C+ grade,” Tutankhamun shook his head, refusing.

If he really passed this assessment with a C+ grade, the rewards he would receive would probably be at most roughly equivalent to a B grade in a regular second-tier assessment. For Tutankhamun, a regular second-tier assessment, where achieving an A- or even an A grade would be confident.

Not surprised by Tutankhamun’s refusal, Song Jian nodded and looked at the other three examinees, “How about you? Are you willing to pass this assessment with a C+ grade evaluation?”

“Thank you for your kindness, but I will wait for the next assessment.”

“I also refuse. Time is plentiful for me, waiting for another round is not an issue.”

The other two examinees declined in turn, but the last one hesitated.

Song Jian didn’t rush him, simply waiting quietly, knowing that such a decision was tough for any examinee.

“I am willing to become your vassal hero!” After ten minutes of hesitation, Tatyana made her decision.

“Tatyana, even if you fail this assessment, I am still willing to have you join the Tutankhamun family. You could have waited until the next one, but if you merely pass with a C+ evaluation, your future achievements would be limited. The chance of entering the Tutankhamun family would be slim,” Tutankhamun said after glancing at Tatyana.

Tatyana’s perseverance and commitment were visible to Tutankhamun. The elemental faction’s ability to hold out until now was inseparable from Tatyana. Without her undertaking a series of tasks and acquiring the Titan Giant blueprint, the elemental faction would have probably been eliminated by the Dungeon faction already.

“My lord, I am already thirty-eight years old, and I’ve been stuck at the second-tier Combat Power assessment for nearly a decade!” Tatyana’s face showed a wry smile as she explained softly, “Actually, I have decided, if I fail the assessment again, I will not wait for this special Assessment World. Next time, I will choose an ordinary Assessment World, but with my current strength, even in an ordinary Assessment World, I might not score high. It’s better to pass this time with a lower evaluation…”

“I respect your choice, Tatyana. Although the Tutankhamun family cannot accept you, I, personally, am still willing to be your friend…” Tutankhamun sighed inwardly and said softly.

“Thank you, my lord!” Tatyana bowed her head.

“Now, Chosen One, you can kill us,” Tutankhamun said calmly to Song Jian. “But, before being eliminated, I’m curious how you plan to deal with those fleeing examinees. Considering Tatyana, you only have three vassal heroes, after all. Catching up to them will not be easy, and it’s possible that their presence will prevent you from passing the assessment!”

Upon hearing this, Tatyana immediately became nervous, her gaze anxiously turning to Song Jian.

“Heh, no matter how fast they are, can they be faster than the speed of angel’s flight?” Song Jian laughed.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the twelve angels that had been guarding the castle walls flew off in pairs in different directions. This scene caused Tutankhamun’s face to display a look of surprise.

“They, they are not fighting units but…”
