C104 Father Of The Jutrela Please Spare My Life!
However, among the 19 fortunate Beginner Villages, fate had it that they encountered the notorious 996 Beginner Village and were lumped together in the same group. In a flash, they tasted the bitter flavor of despair.
It was akin to being reborn as an infant, only to discover you're being fed the dreaded Three Little Deer brand of milk powder.
Or like on your wedding night, realizing in horror that your bride is none other than Qiao Biluo.
Such is life at its bleakest!
Chen Guo began to review the roster of group members, curious to see which lucky Beginner Villages had the misfortune of joining his ranks.
The list was crystal clear, featuring Beginner Villages from nations not exactly on friendly terms:
Grierus, Beginner Village No. 704582!
Setheyso, Beginner Village No. 34!
Plioya, Beginner Village No. 6060!
Etharia, Beginner Village No. 119881!
Asmary, Beginner Village No. 4669000!
Ushos, Beginner Village No. 401!
Qoskoenia, Beginner Village No. 3696!
Mefloebar, Beginner Village No. 10339!
Jespait, Beginner Village No. 123699!
Chuiles, Beginner Village No. 776660133!
Gecrua, Beginner Village No. 2!
Gleatan, Beginner Village No. 9999!
Ewhijan, Beginner Village No. 438!
Oplia, Beginner Village No. 212335!
Nasnoisau, Beginner Village No. 456!
Iaswuaria, Beginner Village No. 17!
Setheyso, Beginner Village No. 2366!
Zefraoce, Beginner Village No. 674533!
Osnaria, Beginner Village No. 1111!
All nineteen of these nations, along with Beginner Village No. 996, were at odds with Jutrela.
To sum it up in a phrase: Grierus and its pack of lackeys!
This put Chen Guo at ease. They were all nations he loathed, so there was no need to show them any courtesy. Going all out was the only way to go—give it everything you've got!
Once the groupings were finalized, a temporary group channel sprang up, facilitating communication among the Beginner Villages within the group.
After all, the world channel was a chaotic mess. Trying to converse there was anything but convenient.
The group channel was in complete chaos, with people from nineteen countries unleashing cries of despair.
"How did we run into Beginner Village No. 996? Oh my God! How can we possibly win? Not only do they have 5,000 people, but they also have Boss Guangcheng!"
"Are we doomed to fail before the battle even starts? Beginner Village No. 996 is an immovable force! Competing against them is like looking for trouble in the worst place possible!"
"It's just too tough. Life is so unfair. Why did we have to come across Beginner Village No. 996? Can we even handle this challenge?"
The Beginner Villages paired with these 19 countries were all formidable in their own right, but now they were consumed by hopelessness.
It wasn't a lack of confidence or spirit; Chen Guo's battle record was simply too staggering.
A single man took down two villages!
A combat strength of a million!
Crowned as the strongest war god!
The world's number one!
These titles and records were well-earned. The sheer pressure from Chen Guo alone was suffocating.
Moreover, Beginner Village No. 996 had doubled in size after their first clear, boasting 5,000 members. The additional 2,500 recruits, drawn by Chen Guo's renown and vetted by the Jade Void Temple, were assuredly strong.
This propelled the strength of Beginner Village No. 996 to the top of the world.
Facing Chen Guo, the world's premier warrior, what chance did they have?
Were they supposed to go head-to-head with him?
The nineteen nations weren't lacking in drive; Beginner Village No. 996 was just overwhelmingly powerful.
Despair had gripped them all.
Then, out of the blue, the Setheyso began to plead.
"Please show mercy, Father of Jutrela Country. Your Beginner Village No. 996 has such abundant resources; losing 20% is but a trifle to you. Yet our Son's Beginner Village No. 34 is in dire straits. We can't afford any losses! Your son bows deeply before you!"
"Your son, Jin Tai Min, is kowtowing to you, Father. Please, show us your graciousness!"
