Chapter 260

Lu Cang heard this declaration.

He was stunned as well.

Lu Cang could foresee that the Saint-rank Lords would collectively attack him.

He had also made preparations.

To be honest.

Lu Cang's current fortifications.

Were completely ready to face seven Saint-rank Lords simultaneously.

Even posed to withstand an assault by eight Saint-rank Lords at once.

But Lu Cang never expected the enemy to send only four.

Moreover, they were of the Legendary tier.

Not a single Mythic-level one.

Completely unable to contend with him.

Even while fighting these Lords.

Lu Cang felt as though he was crushing them unilaterally.

The combat power of these four Lords was indeed inferior to those three Mythic-level Lords.

They were not on the same scale at all.

However, Lu Cang had calculated that they would attack him.

But he truly did not expect.

That the enemy would actually surrender and propose an alliance.

"A trap? Or is it real?"

"But regardless, this is an opportunity."

An alliance with a Saint-rank Lord.

Was equivalent to an enemy General publicly defecting in broad daylight.

This would be a devastating blow to the morale and credibility of the entire Alliance.

You must know, the words and deeds of such a Saint-rank Lord serve as a model and benchmark for all Lords in the entire world.

Even if they spoke a single word of praise for the Cursed Ones, it would strike at the Alliance's credibility.

Let alone a public defection.

"Very well, if it is a scheme, I will accept it."

"Defect, defect well."

Lu Cang shifted his thought.

On the Blood Curtain, an opening appeared.

Revealing the space within.

If one looked through the opening, one could see a flesh-and-blood road coalescing on the surface of the river of blood.

Forming a bridge.

On the road of the bridge, there was no Blood Curtain at all, leading straight to the city gate.

This opening was an invitation to the Echo Lord.

"Welcome, my friend."

"Within Cangcheng welcomes your joining; from today on, you are my friend."

Regarding the enemy's attack on him.

Lu Cang did not care at all.

Who does not have their own stance?

But in the face of absolute interest.

One can only say that an enemy from one second ago can become a friend the next.

Lu Cang and the Echo Lord originally had no absolute hatred.

One could even say the two did not know each other before.

The Echo Lord, at most, was resentful that Lu Cang had stolen his BOSS.

But in reality, that BOSS itself was to be snatched by other Saint-rank Lords.

And Lu Cang had proven he possessed Saint-rank strength.

Which proved he had the qualification to compete on the same stage and fight for the BOSS with them.

So, this grievance was easily set aside.

As for the battle...

The Echo Lord losing two Echo Birds was indeed extremely painful.

But compared to allying with Lu Cang.

One can only say this could be considered an advance payment of chips.

If Lu Cang became an ally.

Those two Echo Birds, transformed into same-tier monsters for unknown reasons, would remain friendly forces.

The final result would be that he lost no combat power whatsoever.

He merely lent his combat power to Lu Cang.

In this way, he indeed lost nothing.

"Thank you, tolerant Calamity of Flesh and Blood."

The Echo Lord used Lu Cang's title to show respect for an ally.

Then, he walked boldly into the blood curtain.

Behind him, those lords were all stunned.

This Echo Lord really intends to go in.

He really intends to form an alliance with Lu Cang!

"Yin Luan, do you really intend to ally with this monster!"

"This is a Cursed One! A monster destined for extermination!"

"If you ally with him, you are opposing the Yiyulian Alliance!"

These two alliance lords, whose concepts of the alliance were firmly established.

Their thoughts were completely different.

Lord Aoshan believed that the alliance was ultimately the largest organization in the world.

The combat power Lu Cang displayed was far from enough to oppose the alliance.

If the eight of them, all Saint-rank, joined forces again and attacked together next time.

Eradicating Lu Cang would certainly not be that difficult.

And this situation was not far off.

It only required waiting for the battle on the Simon City side to finish.

For those three Saint-rank lords with even greater combat power to arrive.

Everyone would attack together.

Not to mention breaking the blood curtain, even leveling Within Cangcheng to the ground might not be a problem.

And Lu Ao was a lord who had been cultivated by the alliance since childhood.

Regarding the alliance, he was also the most loyal of all the lords.

He could not comprehend rebellion or the act of joining the Cursed Ones at all.

Moreover, if one broke away from the alliance, it meant one's territory would be besieged by other Saint-rank lords.

Lu Cang could at most only defend his own territory.

Could he possibly go to support the Echo?

Therefore, regarding the Echo Lord's actions, he felt deeply perplexed.

However, rebellion was good.

Since Yin Luan rebelled against the alliance.

He would have an excuse to consume the other party's territory.

In this way, his promotion to a Supreme Saint-rank lord would not be impossible.
