Live Strong in the Wilderness
Chapter 496: Has Ivica Gone Mad?
Others dared not oppose, after all, there are few who aren’t afraid of death.
If they don’t fight back, maybe they won’t die.
If they do fight back, death is certain.
Ivica and her people can even kill a level 4 mage, let alone a level 3 mage like them?
When it’s time to bow down, one must bow down.
Moreover, Li Kang really did abduct Ivica’s people, and he took 70 of them.
Li Wei should have agreed earlier, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to die.
They were on the scene, naturally, they could see that Ivica didn’t intend to kill Li Wei initially.
One could only say that Li Wei had bad luck, dying so unjustly.
Then, these people led Ivica and her subordinates to Li Kang’s camp.
Li Kang’s camp was in an excellent location, nestled in a mountain depression.
The camp was set up very meticulously; if a Fierce Beast attacked, it probably wouldn’t be able to reach the center.
"Password."
Just as they returned, they encountered a sentry.
The result was that the sentry was directly sent flying, landing on a tent.
"Roka." Ivica called out, feeling that Roka had been a bit too harsh.
Roka nodded and timely retracted his hand.
Otherwise, his spear would have flown out too.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
They were well-prepared; when Li Wei died, they received intelligence, so they were on guard.
In fact, they thought Li Wei died at the hands of a Fierce Beast.
Yet they hadn’t expected the intruder to be Ivica.
Everyone’s weapons were aimed at Ivica and Roka.
After all, they had undergone military training.
However, some did not take action.
These people originally served under Ivica and Jerry.
They had always been worried that if Ivica and Jerry came looking for trouble, they would have no way to deal with it.
After all, Li Kang had already left.
Now, Ivica finally came. Moreover, Li Wei was dead.
This Li Wei, everyone knew, was a level 4 mage. When he advanced, he joyously shouted, waking the entire camp. Moreover, he was the camp’s only fat guy, so everyone had a strong impression of him.
Unexpectedly, he was dead.
Now that Ivica returned with those who went fishing with Li Wei, it proved that Li Wei’s death was linked to Ivica.
Not a single weapon could break through Ivica and Roka’s defenses; they all seemed to be frozen in place.
Roka waved his hand, and those weapons flew back in reverse.
Many of those present were injured.
"Damn, is there such a big difference between level 4 and level 3?"
"This is a completely one-sided slaughter."
"I’m starting to believe that maybe Li Wei died from an accident."
"An accident, my ass. If Ivica acted and gave the order, that fat guy couldn’t possibly be dead."
"I never really thought being level 4 was impressive before, now I finally understand. These level 3 mages, when faced with a level 4 Fierce Beast, would die horribly."
"I think these people really aren’t suited to continue the challenge. They should hand over the Star Chart to Xu Yi and the rest. If this continues, they’ll probably all die."
"This is unleashing the inner demons, especially that black guy, he’s not planning on going on a rampage, is he?"
Everyone’s faces changed drastically, even Vasily, another level 4 mage in the camp, was greatly shocked.
The black man beside Ivica was clearly stronger than him, and he couldn’t break through his defense.
"Do you really want to fight?" Ivica squinted her eyes, this feeling of superiority made her feel especially thrilled. The sensation of holding power was truly marvelous.
The life and death of others hung on her whims.
Vasily’s face changed, he sensed the killing intent.
If Ivica and Roka decided to kill, many people would die.
The gap between a level 3 mage and a level 4 mage was too vast.
"Group 1, Group 2, retreat with me." Vasily shouted, he had to preserve the core members of the team; if they died, Li Kang would hold him accountable.
Can he bring others?
He couldn’t possibly take so many people at once.
If those left behind, Ivica likely wouldn’t pursue them.
With Vasily’s command, 40 people left in succession. These were Li Kang’s core members, all with good military discipline.
Their basic ability was to follow orders unequivocally.
"They ran?" Ivica hadn’t expected this result.
"Should we pursue them, my queen?" Roka licked his lips, finding Ivica at this moment to be the most beautiful.
Queen?
A gleam flashed in Ivica’s eyes, this was her dream!
"Forget it, let them go." Ivica looked around at those who were left.
They didn’t move because Vasily retreated too abruptly; those abandoned were dumbfounded.
"We are willing to follow you, Queen Ivica." Someone began to kneel.
Faced with death, he would rather kneel.
Then, people began to kneel en masse.
"Crazy! Ivica has gone completely mad. She wants to be a queen, is her brain malfunctioning? What era does she think this is, still dreaming of being a queen?"
"In this era, that planet has reverted to the age of cold weapons. Hot weapons are already useless, individual strength is all that matters. If your strength is enough, you could also rule."
"Don’t you think the Spirit Race might possess weapons more powerful than nuclear weapons? When a Fierce Beast reaches level 20, nuclear weapons would probably just tickle it. By the time we reach that planet, they’ve been there for 500 days; they’re at least level seven or eight mages by now. Can we contend with that?"
"Exactly, as long as they control the Star Gate, anyone who enters must either surrender or be driven back. She could truly be a queen and nobody could stop her."
"Isn’t it possible for Xu Yi to handle Ivica? No matter how many people Ivica has, wouldn’t they end up just like Li Kang’s men, unable to fight back?"
"Ivica wants to be queen, but doesn’t someone else want to be emperor?"
"Don’t project this onto Xu Yi. If he wanted to do that, would Ivica and Li Kang even be a concern?"
"Isn’t anyone going to stop Ivica? At this rate, if she really occupies the Star Gate, how can we go to Spirit Blue Star?"
High-level members of the global alliance were holding a video conference.
The appearance of the word "queen" had triggered their nerves.
As rulers, they certainly didn’t want to lose everything they had.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if this Ivica truly wants to be queen, how should we respond?" a leader of a certain country asked.
Everyone fell silent.
Did they have a solution?
Naturally, they did not.
Jerry’s ambition, Li Kang’s ambition, they were fully aware.
But it’s an alien planet; they have no way to interfere.
If the Star Gate is controlled, they might not even have the qualification to enter Spirit Blue Star.
If people learned the sun would explode, they would prefer to turn to Ivica, support her as queen, in exchange for the chance to survive.
