Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

Liu Nian put away his belongings and turned his gaze to the hall.

Arachne had already learned the identities of these people and had used both kindness and force to control them.

She briefly shared her views with Liu Nian, who nodded in agreement.

His gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on a girl whose face bore a five or six-point resemblance to Esmeralda, whose lower body was also in elven form, but who only had arms.

According to Arachne's brief introduction, this should be Esmeralda's daughter, [Level 65 Lila Shadowscar].

This is a princess with good talent, but who has not yet experienced too many hardships.

She was clean and showed no trace of the Shadow Spider Queen's faith.

At this moment, the princess had already been brought to Liu Nian's side by Arachne.

Liu Nian's voice rang out, calm yet carrying an undeniable authority, clearly reaching the ears of every spider-like elf present:

"A city in exile cannot be without a master for even a day."

"You," Liu Nian patted Lila on the shoulder and said, "from this moment on, you are the new queen of the Shadowmoon Clan."

Princess Lila stiffened, but her expression was filled with resentment: "You...you killed my mother! How could I possibly obey a demon like you and become your lackey! Warriors, take up your weapons and follow me, those who are not afraid to die..."

Bang! !

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Nian smashed her head with a punch.

This guy must be out of his mind!

Liu Nian's gaze shifted slightly, pointing to another woman in the crowd.

When he killed Lila, he saw that most of the people's expressions were fear or anger, but only this person's face showed a strange look.

She was much older, and also had four arms and two legs.

[Level 90 Shadowmoon General Esmedina BOSS (Legendary)]

Judging from her name and appearance, she should be Esmeralda's sister or something similar.

"You," Liu Nian pointed at her, "are you interested in becoming the new queen of the Shadowmoon Clan?"

Esmedina was startled, a hint of excitement flashing across her face, and she immediately knelt down.

"Esmedina swears an oath of her soul, pledging allegiance to her master and faith in the new god! She vows to protect her master under the light of the new god, to pave the way for her master until death!"

have a look!have a look!

What does it mean to be pragmatic?

Liu Nian was very satisfied; among so many people, there were always some sensible ones.

If you don't like being a dog, there are plenty of people eager to be one!

"Very good! I will bestow upon you a new faith." Liu Nian turned to Arachne, "Worship her, Arachne, and she will grant you strength and guide you to survive and thrive in this dark land."

Arachne released the pressure of divine sparks again at the opportune moment. The aura of a higher level of life enveloped the entire area, making all the spider-elves present feel awe, while a sense of security and protection involuntarily began to well up in their hearts.

"And I," Liu Nian's gaze slowly swept across each face, "am the one you now pledge your allegiance to. From this day forward, your strength will be at my command; my enemies will also be your enemies!"

silence.

The numerous spider-like spirits present looked at each other.

Esmedina was the first to react.

She took a deep breath, faced Arachne and Liu Nian, and knelt down reverently, bowing her head.

"General Shadowmoon Esmedina vows to lead the Shadowmoon remnants to eternal loyalty to their esteemed master!"

Liu Nian's lips curled into a playful smile: "Still calling me General?"

Esmedina abruptly looked up and saw Liu Nian casually toss the crown, symbolizing the royal power of the Shadowmoon Clan, to her: "Catch the crown!"

Esmedina received the crown, her hands trembling as she placed it atop her head, her voice trembling with excitement: "Esmedina, Queen of the Shadowmoon, dedicates her soul to our Lord Liu Nian, and entrusts her faith to the great Arachne!"

As she shouted, the second to respond was Pendra, who had already submitted.

"Captain Pendra, the Hunter, vows to lead his warriors in eternal loyalty to their esteemed master and to the great Arachne! The Shadowmoon remnants need a new life; we embrace a new faith and a new future!"

With a leader in place, the psychological defenses of the other nobles and warriors who witnessed the entire process quickly crumbled.

Overwhelming power, the fall of the old king, the appearance of the new god, the urgent need for survival... all these converged into a torrent.

"I am loyal to my Master! I am loyal to my new God!"

"May the new god protect our people!"

"May the light of the new god dispel the gloom of my people, and may the power of the master guide my people on their way forward."

One by one, the spider-like elves inside and outside the hall knelt down, submitting to Arachne and Liu Nian.

The entire city knelt down.

As numerous vows were made, it was as if some kind of invisible contract had been reached.

In Liu Nian's mind, crisp system notification sounds rang out one after another:

[Ding! You have crowned a new Queen of the Shadowmoon Clan! Shadowmoon Clan reputation +100000, Underdark Tier 3 reputation +5000, and you have gained the allegiance of the Shadowmoon Clan.]

After the title was equipped, an invisible aura of majesty seemed to emanate from Liu Nian, and the spider-like elves kneeling below felt even deeper reverence.

Liu Nian glanced at the title's attributes; they were fairly useful.

He raised his hand in a gesture of help: "Get up."

Esmedina and the spider-like elves then carefully rose to their feet, their posture extremely respectful.
