Chapter 200 - Surrender
While the Origin Sect Branch leaders had surrendered to Noah, the battle was still raging on Laura's side.
Since Laura's side was massively outnumbered, she had to be extra attentive towards all the skills launched at their warriors.
She also had to filter out all the life-threatening attacks from the normal attacks. Thus, it placed an even greater strain on her mind.
However, she could still manage this situation because of her sharp combat mind and strong cultivation base.
Meanwhile, Laura was elated to see both her subordinates and Noah's subordinates were performing extremely well.
This was their first time coordinating together against another group, excluding the training drills.
Their coordination was quite good. Noah's subordinates would immediately get out of the way as the arrows were about to strike them.
This would allow Laura's subordinates to strike the warriors in the vanguard and the rear guard.
Moreover, while Laura's subordinates were reloading their arrows, Noah's subordinates would immediately launch with a quick burst of speed.
There would always be some lucky individuals who would manage to sneak from Noah's subordinates had close the distance between them and the archers.
In their minds, these were archers. They would be extremely flustered when they realize that an enemy had managed to come close.
Once these archers were surprised, and their rhythm was broken, the Origin Sect's Outer disciples could launch a counter-attack.
However, these disciples were in for a surprise as Laura's subordinates could deal with fighters at close range.
In fact, that's what their training had been about for the past week.
Even now, while shooting arrows, some of them were a little sad that they couldn't put their progress to good use.
They were quite eager to battle against such fighters now that they had learned to fight at close range.
For this reason, the fools who managed to sneak near Laura's subordinates would be struck way before they could realize it.
In reality, the reason such people could even reach so close was a trick from Laura's subordinates.
They were allowing them to get close so that they could fight against them in close range.
It was a pity that Noah's subordinates were too ferocious. They didn't allow many warriors to get past them.
It would only be a dozen or so warriors in every minute.
While they were fighting, an announcement soon occurred, "We have surrendered! The fighting has to be immediately stopped."
The Origin Sect's outer sect disciples immediately stopped for a second as they heard the voice of the Grand Elder.
However, Noah's subordinates and Laura's subordinates hadn't stopped.
Laura's subordinates had already launched their arrows, and by the time these Origin Sect outer disciples realized that arrows were raining down on them, it was too late.
They knew they would die once those arrows struck their bodies.
However, their eyes widened in shock as they saw large wooden vines quickly rising from the ground and deflecting those arrows away.
They had noticed these vines before. But these vines had only been deflecting their attacks, so they had thought someone from the opponent's side possessed this wood element. They weren't wrong with this guess.
"Alright. Everyone, stop!" Laura ordered.
Immediately, all of Laura's and Noah's subordinates halted and turned in her direction with a confused look on their faces.
Only at that time did the Outer Sect Disciples notice Laura, who stood even further back from her subordinates.
It wasn't that she was afraid of getting into a fight or didn't want to go too near. She was positioned in the rear because she wanted to see all of her and Noah's subordinates. Then and only then would she be able to safeguard them.
Most of the Outer Sect disciples of the Origin Sect Branch were teenagers or had just passed their teenage years.
As they laid their eyes on Laura, their eyes were glued to her.
Those beautiful golden locks, that perfect face, her fair skin, and that seductive body…Laura had all she needed to fascinate or captivate a man.
These youths felt their blood boil with excitement as they saw her. They wanted to go over and talk to her.
Even the woman from the Origin Sect Branch couldn't help but feel largely inferior as they compared themselves to Laura.
Whether it was her beauty or her noble temperament, they were largely inferior to her in both.
Laura noticed their glances but ignored them. She turned her direction towards Noah and saw him coming together with 4 leaders of the Origin Sect Branch.
The other three were injured, and they had been sent to their physician to get some herb and recover quickly.
These four men were nearly elders compared to Laura and Noah. Thus, when they saw Laura, there was a hint of desire in their eyes before they calmed down their emotions successfully.
They could sense a suppressive aura from Laura. And it appeared to be as dangerous as that of Noah's power while he was using his Sword Domain.
Laura closed her eyes as she sent a message to Azaroth using the Mystical Spiritual Connection Ring.
Azaroth's holographic figure soon appeared over Laura's Mystical Spiritual Connection Ring.
The 4 leaders of the Origin Sect Branch were shocked to see that holographic figure.
According to the knowledge they possessed, this was a Spiritual Connection Ring. Much more valuable than a Spatial Ring.
A Spatial Ring could only be used to store non-living things, but a Spiritual Connection Ring could be used to send information or even transfer power through it. This ring had other legends, but they weren't clear to these men.
However, seeing this Mystical Spiritual Connection Ring, these 4 leaders immediately concluded that an expert had crafted this ring.
In fact, when they gazed at Noah's hand, they saw that same ring in his index finger.
'They belong to the same organization.'
"Who is the leader among you?" Azaroth's holographic image spoke at this moment.
One of the Origin Sect branch's leaders spoke while staring at Azaroth, "We are all leaders in this branch."
"I see… Let me rephrase my question then. Who amongst you makes the decision for this branch?" Azaroth asked with a slightly hurried look on his face.
"We are all-" Before that man could finish, he was pulled back by another man. This man shook his head and signaled for him to stop speaking.
The leader possessing the bloodline skill, stepped forward and spoke, "Speak."
"The rest of you can return then. I will only talk to this man," Azaroth spoke while staring at the man ahead of him.
Before anyone could say anything, Noah pulled out his sword and coldly threatened them, "Scram, or do you need my help?"
His threat was effective as the leaders stared at Noah with a fearful gaze before backing away.
They had seen him fight against their leader after he used his Bloodline Skill. They knew that they would be courting death by infuriating Noah right now.
Moreover, there was also Laura to add to the mix. Her power was unknown, but the aura she gave out was quite dangerous as well.
Once the other leaders had gone away, Azaroth asked the man before him, "What's your name?"
"Parick Kewin. And what about yours?" Patrick asked with a curious look.
"Azaroth." That was all Azaroth spoke. He didn't think there was any harm in giving his true name.
If the situation was dire, he could always use Nudar or Edwin as his name in this Kingdom, and no one would find out about it.
"What would you like to discuss with me, Azaroth? Is this something to do with your organization?" Patrick asked.
Azaroth smiled upon hearing the question. He then spoke, "It's very pleasant to talk to smart people. I have an offer for you.. I wonder if you will be interested."
