Ji Chen and his group walked through the vast city outskirts.

After half an hour of walking, the entire city was within view.

This city was built within a recessed rock wall.

The outermost part of the recess was marked by a fifteen-meter-high city wall, which extended in a semi-circular shape from the middle of the road to both sides, all the way to the distant rock wall.

Every fifty meters on the city wall, there was a watchtower with various iron defensive devices.

The city wall, watchtowers, and buildings inside the city were all made of stone, giving them a unique style.

It wasn’t surprising that they used stone as the building material since there was no shortage of it underground, and the lizardmen were accustomed to using it.

“Lord Ji Chen, the elders are waiting for you.”

Ji Chen nodded and led Alice and Anina, the two heroes, inside, while the rest of the troops stayed outside the city.

Although they were only three people, their combat strength was more than enough.

Arriving at the central stone building of the entire city, as soon as they entered the door, they saw a long stone table with more than ten elderly lizardmen sitting on both sides.

They appeared to be the so-called lizardmen elders.

At this moment, they were all staring at Ji Chen with scrutinizing eyes.

Feeling scrutinized like this by a bunch of creatures, Ji Chen felt somewhat uncomfortable.

“Have you seen enough?”

Upon hearing this, the lizardmen elders snapped out of their trance, and one particularly old lizardman, leaning on a cane, stood up.

His tone was extremely proud and condescending, with his chin almost pointing to the sky.

“Are you the ones from the surface? We are the elders of the Dork Kingdom. Why haven’t you paid your respects to us?”

At this remark, the other lizardmen elders showed approving looks.

Ji Chen furrowed his brow. These lizardmen elders seemed to have a rather unclear sense of self-awareness.

Immediately, his expression changed, and he replied without reservation, “No one in this world has earned my respect, let alone you lizardmen.”

Hearing this, the lizardmen elders glared back.

These three strange creatures in front of them dared to be so disrespectful. It was simply audacious!

Having held a high position in the kingdom for so long, they couldn’t remember the last time someone spoke to them this way.

“Insolent!” The old lizardman tapped his cane and scolded, “Guards, take them away and punish them with fifty lashes!”

As soon as the words fell, a large group of lizardman soldiers rushed in from outside the door.

Ji Chen sighed softly and casually waved his hand.

Anina understood immediately and rushed forward barehanded, delivering powerful punches that resounded with the sound of bones cracking.

This time, there was no gentleness like when dealing with the half-orcs. The reason for being more lenient with the half-orcs was to try and subdue them more gently.

But now, judging from the lizardmen’s knowledge and vision, it seemed that they wouldn’t listen unless enough force was used.

Moreover, Ji Chen didn’t want to spend too much time and energy convincing the lizardmen to submit.

After all, there were four such lizardman kingdoms in total, and trying to persuade each one would be too exhausting.

The most direct way to solve the problem is through violence.

After a few minutes, the ground was filled with wailing lizardman soldiers.

The lizardmen elders looked at each other with suspicion.

“Damn it! How dare they resist…”

Before the elderly lizardman elder could finish his sentence, Anina, who had rushed up in just a few steps, punched him, knocking his head askew and scattering the few remaining teeth on the ground. He covered his mouth and wailed in pain.

Now, all the lizardmen finally quieted down, afraid of losing their teeth from a punch.

At this moment, they realized how foolish it was to let Ji Chen and his group enter this place without a proper plan.

Ji Chen stood with his hands behind his back and slowly walked to the head of the long table.

“Now, I’m in charge here. Any objections?”

The lizardmen elders dared to be angry but not speak.

“Alright, I’m here for one thing only.” Ji Chen glanced at them. “The Dork Kingdom needs to submit to me.”

“You must be dreaming…”

With a snap, Anina punched the lizardman who was the first to oppose, and he flew and landed on the ground, lifeless.

Seeing this scene, the other lizardmen immediately closed their mouths.

Now, Anina was acting like a big bully’s henchwoman. If anyone disrespected the boss, she’d give them a punch.

The commotion inside the city attracted the lizardman soldiers, and they gathered and surrounded the area.

Seeing this, the lizardmen elders showed joy on their faces.

But Ji Chen remained calm.

Just as the lizardman soldiers were about to rush in, there suddenly came a cry of killing from outside the city gate.

As time passed, the sound drew closer and closer.

The army from outside the city was charging in.

As a fully-fledged Tier 4 military unit, the lizardmen were no match for them.

In fact, even before entering the city, Ji Chen had ordered Benbo to lead the army to capture the city gate upon hearing the commotion inside the city, and they suppressed the lizardman soldiers.

Soon, the army charged from the city gate and made their way here, leaving numerous lizardman corpses along the way.

These lizardmen had never seen such ferocious enemies before. With just one encounter, their formation was shattered.

Inside the stone building, upon witnessing this scene, the lizardmen elders’ faces turned pale.

Fear and panic finally appeared in their eyes.

Originally, they thought it was just a group of weak visitors, but they never expected to encounter such terrifying enemies..
