"Patriarch! We have already lost almost half of our wealth.
What shall we do? The cost is too much for us.
The alliance is terribly ruthless and cruel!"
an old man with white hair and beard informed the patriarch in a trembling voice. There were tears
streaming down his timeworn face.
"At the very least, we have avoided total annihilation.
From now on, we must keep a low profile. We must remain cautious at all times.
Notify all of our clansmen who are outside, and ask them to return. From now on, nobody is allowed to
leave the Heavenly Elephant Universe Community without permission.
Furthermore, always remember to hide from the alliance!
Each and every one of you must stay away from them!"
the patriarch declared gravely. With a gloomy look on his face, he stared towards the direction where
the army of the alliance had disappeared.
"Patriarch, what will we do if the Novel Court orders us to fight against the alliance?
We can't afford to offend the Novel Court as well."
The old man had a troubled and anxious expression when he said this.
"That is exactly what I am most worried about," the patriarch replied.
He continued, "Alas! We have to be extremely wary of our actions.
In any case, we must avoid deliberately provoking the alliance!"
As he said this, the patriarch sighed and shook his head. They were obviously caught in a very difficult
situation.
The news of what happened to the Heavenly Elephant Universe Community had soon spread far and
wide at an astonishing speed.
"Even a powerful race like the heavenly elephant race has taken the initiative to surrender. They
immediately bowed their heads and apologized for their mistakes.
That only shows that the alliance is truly powerful!"
"That's true. Right now, in the Sea of Chaos, there's no other force that can contend against the
alliance except for the six super forces. Naturally, the heavenly elephant race did not have any other
option."
Countless of forces across the entire Sea of Chaos were stunned by what happened to the Heavenly
Elephant Universe Community. They began discussing among themselves.
"Have you heard the latest news?
They say that the alliance is now heading for the Golden Roc Universe Community!
It seems that their next target is the golden roc race!"
Soon enough, this news had spread quickly too.
In fact, anything related to the alliance would instantly attract attention. It easily became the focus of
discussions.
All at once, lots of different creatures used their bodily movement skills and rushed towards the Golden
Roc Universe Community. Everyone wanted to witness the fun.
As the name implied, the Golden Roc Universe Community was where the golden roc race lived.
In terms of strength, the golden roc race was quite comparable to the heavenly elephant race.
"It appears that the alliance is targeting all those powerful forces!"
"Obviously, they want to show off their power and give the other forces a warning!"
Several creatures sighed and shook their heads.
Meanwhile, there was a commotion within the Golden Roc Universe Community.
Inside their magnificent palace, the patriarch and all the senior leaders of the golden roc race had
gathered and were nervously discussing possible countermeasures.
"Patriarch, what shall we do? The alliance might arrive here any minute from now!"
All the senior leaders were at a loss for what they should do.
Everyone felt utterly nervous and anxious. The tension was almost palpable.
The golden roc race's army was completely ready and in full battle arrangement.
However, everyone knew that setting up defenses was totally useless.
They were well-aware that they were no match for the alliance. The disparity between their strength
was just too big.
The senior leaders in the palace were divided into two groups.
One group wanted to fight back and defend their homeland.
However, the other one advised that they should just surrender and apologize.
Needless to say, the two groups had argued against each other until their faces turned red.
But now that the moment was near, everyone's eyes were fixed on the patriarch.
After all, the final decision was up to him.
Now, their patriarch was a genuine premium-grade divine god.
"Stop quarreling among yourselves."
The two groups instantly stopped arguing as soon as the patriarch spoke.
"Patriarch, have you made up your mind? What is your decision?"
All eyes were fixed on the patriarch. Nobody moved a muscle as they awaited his verdict.
"Who do you think is stronger, our golden roc race or the heavenly elephant race?"
the patriarch asked as he looked at them seriously.
Everyone was stunned. They glanced at one another hastily.
"I think we are about the same in terms of strength,"
a slender man in a red robe answered after hesitating for a while.
"Yes. That's what I think, too."
The rest nodded in agreement. Once again, all eyes turned towards the patriarch.
"As we all know, the heavenly elephant race chose to surrender to the alliance. Do you still think we
have a chance to win against them?"
the patriarch asked straightforwardly as he looked at the crowd.
Hearing the patriarch's question, everyone fell silent.
Of course, everyone knew that neither the golden roc race nor the heavenly elephant race would be a
match against the alliance.
"If we fight against the alliance, we will be in danger of getting annihilated. That much is true.
Therefore, we have no other choice but to surrender,"
the patriarch sighed and bowed his head in resignation.
Everybody remained silent and agreed with the patriarch's decision.
"Prepare as many treasures as you can. We will present them to the alliance as a peace offering."
The patriarch raised his head and gave them instructions.
"Is it really necessary for us to offer them compensation?"
The senior leaders looked at each other in confusion.
"Well, just do as I say. We have no choice and we are running out of time!"
Once again, the patriarch sighed.
One by one, the senior leaders left the palace to collect the treasures.
A few hours later, the inevitable happened.
Out of the blue, they heard a loud booming noise.
There was an army approaching the Golden Roc Universe Community from the vast chaotic void. Their
number was quite overwhelming.
In front of the army, there was a huge flag on which four words were embroidered. It read, "Army of the
Alliance".
All of the soldiers were clad in fine armors that emitted a cold light.
Their shining swords and spears exuded a strong and savage energy.
The soldiers had their eyes firmly locked onto their target. The aura they gave off released a huge
pressure.
Soon, the army had gotten close to the Golden Roc Universe Community.
"The Golden Roc Universe Community is right in front of us!"
a sentry announced loudly.
"Good. Surround them!"
They heard a thunderous voice coming from within the army.
However, the golden roc race's representatives quickly interceded before the alliance took any action.
"Sirs, please calm down! We come to you in peace."
A large group of divine gods hurried out of the Golden Roc Universe Community and greeted them
courteously.
"We are willing to compensate for what we have done before! Please accept our offering,"
a tall elder in a golden robe announced respectfully, bowing his head.
"That is the patriarch of the golden roc race!
It looks like they have also chosen to surrender to the alliance!"
one of the creatures watching from afar mumbled as he recognized the identity of the old man in a
golden robe.
Obviously, all of the creatures that came to watch the fun were ultimately dumbfounded.
Yet another powerful force had chosen to yield to the alliance!
"Present them our treasures!"
The patriarch faced his clansmen and gave out the order.
A divine god rushed out of the Golden Roc Universe Community and immediately delivered a large
handful of Space Rings to the patriarch.
"Kind sirs, these are our gifts to you.
Please accept them as our peace offering!"
The patriarch held the Space Rings in his hands and respectfully handed them over to the alliance.
At that moment, an avatar of Austin was calmly sitting inside one of the warships.
"This old man is fairly wise and sensible,"
Austin stated with a smile on his face.
Earlier, he was still thinking about blackmailing the golden roc race.
He didn't quite expect that the patriarch himself would greet them with a smile. Moreover, he even took
the initiative to offer compensation.
"Very well. You made a very smart decision.
Everyone, let's retreat!"
Austin ordered his men after he took all the Space Rings.
As soon as he gave the order, the army of the alliance immediately turned around and headed for the
chaotic void in the vast distance.
'The stories are true. As long as we apologize, the alliance will not hold us accountable. That's the only
way to avoid getting annihilated.'
After witnessing this scene, all of the creatures that had gathered had this same thought.
