When the villagers saw this scene, they were all shocked beyond words. They had never expected the arrogant Ives who had just been throwing his weight around and threatening them together with Sanford, to actually crawl in front of Yue Zhong, seeking forgiveness. It was simply unbelievable.
"How the hell? Who in the world is he?! He could actually get 2 nobles to plead for forgiveness!!"
The strongest youth of the village, Ada, saw the 2 kneeling man, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and shock. He was just a small fry in front of Ives and Sanford, and could only kneel on the ground, without even the courage to look at them. However, the 2 of them were actually kneeling in front of Yue Zhong who he had looked upon with disdain. The gap was simply too huge. The peace and bliss that he had promised Annie was like a joke.
The youth looked at Yue Zhong, his fist clenched while his expression pale, thinking with some unwillingness, "Sister Annie's eye for men is truly exceptional. I can't compare to Yue Zhong."
Lan Lan saw the scene from the room as well, and her heart was also filled with shock, "Those are 2 nobles! They're actually kneeling in front of him to be his slave. He has some capabilities, no wonder Sister Annie is so enamored with him. I can't discern as well as Sister Annie. This Yue Zhong is truly some character!"Inside this village, all those who had thought Yue Zhong was simply a toad trying to eat swan meat, or the pile of dung beneath the rose, were forced to rethink. Now, they suddenly felt it appropriate for Annie to like Yue Zhong.
The numerous young ladies were also eyeing Yue Zhong with strange gazes.
In this world, these humans within the village lived no different from animals. If the nobles wanted to kill them, there was nothing they could do.
As long as Ives opened his mouth, none of the women could reject him. Yet, this Yue Zhong was seemingly even more powerful than Ives, the hearts of the numerous women were obviously stirred. If it was not for Annie still standing beside Yue Zhong, many of them would have run over to profess their love.
Ives then asked Yue Zhong respectfully, "Master, would you like to go to the Jiao Beasy City? This slave has some businesses and properties there. The environment is a whole lot better than here."
Yue Zhong asked, "Did you bring money?"
Ives pulled out a bag of gold and handed it over, "This slave has a 100 gold coins!"Yue Zhong chuckled, tossing the bag to Lan Lan, "This is for you. Thanks for taking care of us these few days."
After a few days of cultivation, although Yue Zhong was not yet at his peak, he could already control some parts of his body.
The villagers stared at the bag with jealousy. They knew that with this gold, Lan Lan's family would become the wealthiest in the village.
When Lan Lan received the bag, she was filled with joy, at the same time, there was a sense of loss and sadness. She knew that Yue Zhong and Annie were about to leave. This small village could not contain these 2.
"Let's go!"
With an order, Ives and the rest turned around, leading them out of the village.
The moment Yue Zhong and Annie got on a horse, Yue Zhong asked, "Why did you guys capture the kids in the village?"
Ives explained, "Master, the Mayor of Jiao Beast City, Marquis Valentin, wants to organize a banquet, and is lacking some blood food. With the orders from the higher-ups, this slave has no choice but to come out to get more for Marquis Valentin."
Yue Zhong frowned, and felt a sense of unease, continuing his line of questioning, "Blood food? What's blood food?"
Ives then proceeded to say what he knew.
The world, or rather the planet they were on, was called Great Dragon Planet, and the rulers were the great Holy Race. They were made up of creatures like Sanford, the Grey Wyrms, the Lightning Wyrms, and many other species. Humans were considered the lower class on this planet.
Each and every one of the Holy Race was esteemed and placed above the lower class. At the same time, there were tiers to their classes, namely the Nobles, Citizens, Commoners, and Slaves.
Ives was one of the nobles of the human race. Most of the humans within the Jiao Beast City were ordinary Citizens, whereas Commoners lived in the mountainsides and countries, like Lan Lan and the rest. Slaves were the lowest caste.
In this cruel world, the Holy Race was at the top, controlling the fate of the world. Humans were their food, and could be killed or slaughtered any time they liked. Even someone like Ives could be killed if he did not have a strong backing.
As for the human nobles, they were usually partners and assistants to the Holy Race, helping them manage affairs, hunt, and suppress their own kind, catching Commoners as Blood Food for the Holy Race.
Blood Food referred to the food of these Holy Race members. It was like the Second World, where the Saint Race treated the humans as food, and in fact, humans formed a huge part of their diets.
Of course, likewise in this world, there were many human heroes who sought to retaliate. However, in these thousands of years, all human resistance would be quickly put down before they could grow large enough. Furthermore, there was a separation in thinking of the humans. The nobles sought to ally themselves with the Holy Race, suppressing and hunting their fellow humans. The Holy Race might be cruel and savage, but there was a limit to their viciousness, as long as they had enough Blood Food, they would not consume wantonly. At the same time, there was still law and order. Hence, fewer humans stood out to resist the Holy Race, instead, becoming a sort of livestock for them.
The Holy Race were the rules on this planet, forming the Great Dragon Kingdom, with over 58,000 cities.
There were 48 kingdoms, each of them overseeing a thousand cities, while the main empire was in control of 10,000.
Each city would harbor a large number of humans and Holy Race members, while on the outskirts were numerous Commoners.
The Great Dragon Empire had their own experts as well, with each King being a Type 8 expert. The Emperor was rumored to be a Type 9 powerhouse. Each city was managed by a Type 7 mayor, and their own subordinates were also powerful warriors.
Under that sort of suppression, although there were easily 20 times humans to the Holy Race, they could only continue to serve.
The Jiao Beast City was a large city, prosperous and bustling. All around the city, the walls were at least 50m-high and there was a moat of about 40m wide surrounding the city. Only the 4 main gates in the North, South, East, and West directions allowed in and outflow.
This huge city wall and oat were enough to keep people in and out of the city.
The difference between Great Dragon Planet and Earth was that the gravity here was at least 10 times stronger, even a Type 3 powerhouse could only leap about 5m high. In order to jump into the city, one had to be at least at the Type 5 realm.
Due to the strength of the Holy Race, other than a few humans who submitted and acted as the fangs and claws of the Holy Race, the rest of the human race was largely below the Type 5 realm. Even the weakest Type 4 Holy Race member could defeat the strongest human.
On the city wall, there were 1,000 human soldiers and 100 Green Wyrm warriors patrolling.
The equipment of the 2 races were extremely clear. The humans only wore ordinary cotton armor, and wielded wooden spears, while the experts of the Green Wyrm Race held large cannons, and were covered with Enhanced Armors powered by Mutant Beasts. They even each had an alloy blade at their waist. The vast difference between the 2 sides were at least a hundred years' worth of technology.
One single Green Wyrm expert in the Enhanced Armor could fight a Type 5 powerhouse, and wipe out a hundred human soldiers easily.
There were many laser cannons, machine guns, ray guns, and other advanced weaponry atop the wall. However, they were all controlled by the Green Wyrm experts.
The Holy Race was guarded even against the humans serving them, only allowing their own people the best of equipment to use. Humans could only utilize melee weapons, and like this, the humans were even more at a disadvantage and could not rise against the Holy Race by using those weapons.
As Yue Zhong and his group came to the South Gate, they saw a cart with a cage loaded on top, within it, numerous kids were locked.
The children were crying out uncontrollably, and yet, the humans in front of the carriage were smiling and discussing their haul.
Yue Zhong looked at those humans serving the Holy Race willingly and felt an unbridled fury arose, as his killing intent burst forth, "Damn bastards, they're actually capturing their own kind for the pleasure of the Holy Race. Shameless!! They deserve to die!!"
Annie frowned, her eyes also filled with killing intent, "Shall we act?"
