Apocalyptic Lord: Heroes of Might and Magic Descend

Chapter 47 Naked Threat

"Fuck!"

Upon hearing the colonel's request, Daniel, a Black man, habitually swore.

Hammer, who was in charge of guarding the house, also had a furrowed brow.

"Hey, black guy, you'd better watch your mouth, or I wouldn't mind twisting your black head off right now and stuffing it back into your ass," the colonel sneered.

In the past, he might have hidden his prejudice against people of color, but now he doesn't need to worry about that at all.

In the new world, having power means you can do whatever you want.

In the words of our ancestors, it's like saying, "I can do whatever the f**k I want!"

"When your lord returns, tell him exactly what I said: if you refuse the general's offer, this place will be destroyed by missiles. In fact, you have no right to refuse at all." The colonel laughed loudly, his eyes fixed on Daniel and his companions.

He had even made plans that if those three black men uttered another curse, or said anything else, or even dared to roll their eyes, he would immediately order his men to open fire.

He was serious.

Fortunately, Daniel and his friends weren't stupid. The other party had already written "troublemaker" on their faces, so of course they weren't going to fall into their trap.

"Okay, I'll pass it on," Hammer said at that moment.

The colonel smiled and said, "You'd better make that clear."

After waving his hand, he climbed into the armored vehicle, and the convoy left the cemetery territory, heading towards its final destination.

Ten kilometers away, the territorial barriers in the forest.

Several hours later, as darkness fell, Hammer and his companions awaited Lin Mo's return. However, at this moment, another guest arrived in the territory.

"My name is Olivia, and I wish to meet the lord of this place!" A blonde girl riding a white horse shouted from outside the gray walls.

She was wearing leather armor. When Daniel saw her, she looked familiar, and then he suddenly remembered.

"I've seen her before. A few days ago, she was with centaurs. Looks like she's doing quite well now!"

Hammer was the one who stepped forward again.

He told Olivia that the lord was not there.

"I can wait for him. I have something very important to discuss with him, something that concerns our life and death." Olivia hesitated for a long time before choosing to come and contact the lord here.

Currently, she knows of only three countries that have established territories.

She herself is one.

And then there's that damned madwoman Margaret; there's definitely no way we can work together with her.

So she only had one choice left.

The reason I came was because of the 'Colonel's' visit.

Her territory was barely established when it was already being targeted.

It's certain that the other party wants to reap the benefits, something Olivia would never agree to, and no lord of a new world would be happy about.

That means handing your fate over to someone else.

But if she were to fight back, she would be isolated and helpless, with no chance of winning.

So she thought of forming an alliance.

From that arrogant 'colonel', she learned that he had also gone to see two other lords. So, if she wanted to form an alliance and exclude that crazy woman Margaret, then she only had one choice.

So she came.

"You can wait, but we can't invite you in. You should be a lord too, so you should know the rules of the territory," Hammer said. Olivia indicated that she did.

However, she didn't wait outside for long before Lin Mo returned.

After leaving the Interior Ministry, Hammer, Genova, and Daniel noticed Santa who had followed Lin Mo out.

"This vampire is really special," Daniel said.

"Let me introduce you. This is Shant. Like Genova, he will be one of my adjutants from now on." After Lin Mo finished speaking, he noticed the expressions on Hammer and the others' faces.

Only after asking did I learn about the 'colonel's' visit today.

"Interesting!" Lin Mo smiled, seemingly unconcerned.

Hammer and Daniel, however, were somewhat anxious.

"Boss, this is no joke. They're a regular, professional army. Besides armored vehicles and tanks, they also have missiles. You should know how terrifying modern weapons are. There have been videos online before. One missile can level an entire building. If it's an even more powerful tactical weapon, it can instantly destroy several city blocks, or even wipe out an entire city..."

"I know!" Lin Mo waved his hand, but then added, "But this is a new world, and the new world has its own rules..."

Hammer and Daniel didn't quite understand what Lin Mo meant.

They certainly didn't understand.

How long has it been since the catastrophe?

In just two weeks, they naturally hadn't truly experienced the 'horror' of the new world.

"What about Olivia?"

"Outside the territory, he is an outsider. Without your orders, boss, she cannot enter."

"I'm going to see her."

Lin Mo wasn't particularly interested in alliances, but if the other party was willing to join him and follow his commands, it would be a good thing for him, allowing him to further expand his sphere of influence.

The key is to be able to occupy more resource points and discover more valuable buildings.

Soon, Lin Mo met Olivia at the entrance of the cemetery.

At first glance, Lin Mo recognized the other party as the centaur-bearing girl who appeared when Genova arrived.

"It's you!" Lin Mo said, and Olivia seemed a little excited: "You remember me? We didn't say anything back then."

There's no explanation for this.

"Come in and let's talk," Lin Mo extended the lord's invitation.

For other heroes, entering a territory requires the permission of the local lord; otherwise, the territory's attack mechanism will be triggered.

Olivia thought about it and did not refuse.

She was confident that the military force she brought with her this time was substantial, basically all of her resources, and no one could possibly steal it from her.

Olivia slowed her pace noticeably as she entered the cemetery.

Her gaze swept curiously around her, across the stone walls and over the castle's spires.

The style here is clearly completely different from that of her territory.

One is vibrant and lush with life, while the other is a decaying land filled with the aura of death.

Hammer and Daniel were alright, they were just ordinary humans, but she had met Genova, the elven ranger, before, and could now roughly guess her identity.

But when she saw Santa, she was stunned.

The vampire's terrifying appearance and oppressive aura made Olivia's hair stand on end.

"Let's talk inside!" Lin Mo invited her into the Internal Affairs Hall. She took a deep breath and followed him inside.

The others remained outside and did not go in.

Lin Mo walked to the main seat and sat down, pointing to the chair opposite him.

"sit."

Olivia sat down and looked at Lin Mo, who was also looking her up and down.

The silence lasted for a few seconds before she spoke first.

"What should I call you?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lin Mo."

"Olivia...you should already know about that colonel's threat, right?" Olivia went straight to the point.

Lin Mo nodded.

"He ordered us to report to the Hasburg Naval Base within three days and take command of General Butcher." Olivia's voice was calm, but Lin Mo could hear the anger in her tone: "Otherwise, missiles will destroy our territory."

"That's what Hammer and the others told me too," Lin Mo nodded.

Olivia paused for a few seconds before continuing, "We are no match for the colonel and the general... at least not now, but I don't want to hand over the territory, and you certainly don't want to either, so I've come to seek cooperation."
