Lu Ran’s gaze swept across the vast sea of Dark Elves, and they fell under his control one after another.
They originally had no master. With Lu Ran seizing control, they became his most loyal followers.
Lu Ran was taking command of the entire Dark Elf army!
At this moment.
Lu Ran had already unlocked the A-tier reward.
The pace noticeably slowed.
But it wasn’t because Lu Ran’s control had slowed; rather, the number of Dark Elves required to subdue for higher rewards was simply too large!
Not long after.
[Subdued 100,000 Dark Elves. Unlocked S-tier reward!]
“S-tier! It takes a hundred thousand just for S-tier? Does that mean a million for SS-tier? Then what about SSS-tier? Ten million?” Lu Ran was somewhat taken aback.
If the highest SSS-tier reward truly required subduing ten million Dark Elves, there weren’t even that many here!
Wouldn’t that make the reward set by Elf Queen Tina complete nonsense?
Even while pondering this, Lu Ran never forgot to continue exerting control, and he did so with increasing speed and proficiency.
Soon.
Lu Ran’s question was answered.
[Subdued 300,000 Dark Elves. Unlocked SS-tier reward!]
Huh?
Lu Ran was surprised but could understand.
After all, if a quest could be created, it must at least have the possibility of completion.
If the Elf Queen wanted to set an impossible numerical difficulty, the World Rules probably wouldn’t allow it to exist.
Right now.
Tina was even more confused.
This Necromancer stepped forward claiming he could resolve the situation, but then he did nothing?
He just stood there, staring down the Dark Elf forces?
What kind of solution was this?
Meanwhile, the Dark Elf side seemed strangely calm, no longer impatient, their attention focused on this Necromancer.
A few more minutes passed.
[Subdued 500,000 Dark Elves. Unlocked SSS-tier reward!]
The highest reward was obtained!
It’s worth noting that the higher the tier, the increase in numbers became less exaggerated.
The jump from S-tier to SS-tier required an increase of two hundred thousand, and from SS-tier to SSS-tier, it was still just another two hundred thousand increase.
But to be honest.
Forget about this highest reward; even the S-tier reward, or even the A-tier reward, were simply impossible for ordinary professional to obtain!
The A-tier reward alone required ten thousand!
For a normal professional to slay ten thousand Dark Elves through regular combat would be nothing short of an international joke!
Not to mention S-tier, where the number skyrocketed to a hundred thousand!
A hundred thousand!
Even if they stood still and let you kill them, you might not finish the job!
Elf Queen Tina had likely maximized the quest difficulty to the limit allowed by the rules.
Simply put, she still didn’t trust human-turned-elf professional.
Even though she needed their external aid, she set the quest rewards with such high difficulty requirements.
This understandably caused some dissatisfaction in Lu Ran, who now knew the exact numbers required for each tier.
And now.
After obtaining the SSS-tier reward, no new prompts followed.
Not many uncontrolled Dark Elves remained.
With a final sweep of his gaze, Lu Ran took them all!
The exact number was a bit under six hundred thousand, only slightly over five hundred thousand.
Even so, their numbers far surpassed those of the Natural Elf clan!
Of course.
Dark Elf Queen Si Luoluo was the first to be subdued by Lu Ran.
She now gazed at Lu Ran with eyes blazing with fanatical devotion.
Behind them.
Tina couldn’t hold back any longer.
Frowning, she said, “Are you wasting time? Or are you just here to play a joke on me? Even though you are the Natural Elves’ Emissary, with the enemy at our gates, have you considered the consequences of toying with me like this?”
Consequences?
Lu Ran glanced back at Tina.
He spoke up, “I said I could resolve it. If I say it, I can do it. Are you in such a hurry?”
Not far away.
Liu Xinxin had a rough idea that Lu Ran had probably already seized control of the entire Dark Elf clan and sighed in relief.
The other professional nearby, however, looked at each other, unsure of the situation.
“What’s that guy doing?”
“He said he could solve it, right? He’s not really just out here to mess with the Queen, is he?”
“Probably not, but as for solving it… I don’t believe it.”
“His level is too low. Against an army of hundreds of thousands of Dark Elves, individual combat power really doesn’t make much difference.”
…
Amidst the talk.
With one last glance sweeping over the entire Dark Elf clan to ensure he had missed none, Lu Ran finally stepped forward again, staff in hand.
He declared in a clear, resonant voice that carried far and wide, “Submit to me!”
The words weren’t shouted, but they were deep, drawn-out, and rolled out like a wave.
Tina behind him nearly choked.
What kind of tactic was this?
Since the Prophet bestowed the title of Emissary upon this Necromancer, it couldn’t be for no reason.
But what was this performance?
It was simply mind-boggling!
With the enemy at the gates, a level-thirty-something Necromancer facing the entire Dark Elf army.
Uttering: Submit to me?
Was he dreaming!
The entire Natural Elf clan behind the Queen wore expressions of awkwardness, looking at each other.
Some even felt embarrassed to have such an ally on their side.
Liu Xinxin, of course, knew why Lu Ran was so confident.
This gesture was just Lu Ran being playful, wanting to put on a grand show in front of Elf Queen Tina and show off a bit. It was harmless and could even greatly boost Tina’s impression of Lu Ran.
But the other professional nearby were so embarrassed they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.
Embarrassing, so embarrassing!
They didn’t dare say anything, though. The person Liu Xinxin was defending was someone they truly didn’t dare mock.
Yet, unexpectedly.
At that moment.
Dark Elf Queen Si Luoluo took a step forward. Placing one hand over her chest, she made a peculiar gesture.
Simultaneously, she bowed deeply towards Lu Ran!
Following her lead, the entire Dark Elf clan, in unison, performed the same ritual gesture—a ninety-degree bow!
Even.
The cavalry dismounted from their Shadowmane Lions, offering the highest ceremonial bow!
Naturally, the Shadowmane Lions also prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move.
In the blink of an eye.
The entire Dark Elf clan, an army of five hundred thousand, collectively submitted!
Every hair on Tina’s body stood on end as she sharply turned her gaze to Lu Ran’s back.
Just who was this Necromancer…!
To have the authority to command the entire Dark Elf clan!
It must be known.
Dark Elves and Natural Elves shared the same lineage. Even after being exiled, they retained the pride of the elven race and a sense of superiority in their bloodline.
They would absolutely never submit to a human!
Tina glanced around, still calculating in her mind. Perhaps what caused the Dark Elves to submit wasn’t this Necromancer, but something else!
After all, it was simply too hard to believe!
But then.
Lu Ran beckoned to Si Luoluo and said, “Si Luoluo, come over here to speak.”
Hearing this.
The Dark Elf Queen straightened up and nodded respectfully.
With a single step, her massive wings behind her fluttered slightly. In almost an instant, she was before Lu Ran, leaving a trail of afterimages!
