Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 861: Courtesy first, then attack
The Great Trade Federation, known as the "Star of the Federation," is in no way inferior to the Tower City of Shain in the eyes of the world.

Built into the mountainside, the rear half of the city is completely embedded in the mountain, creating a unique charm against the backdrop of lush ancient trees.

When Gao Yang brought Milofina to Wagoli, a grand celebration was taking place.

After some negotiation, Gao Yang learned that this was an important festival of the Great Trade Federation: the Joint Celebration.

The Vagori are ruled by three factions: humans, goblins, and elves. Each of these three races has a chieftain who forms the Council of Elders, which, together with the Federation Lord of the Great Trade Federation, governs and maintains the entire Great Trade Federation.

The Great Trade Federation has been established for a thousand years. During this long period, the relationship between the three races has gradually increased and intertwined from simple cooperation at the beginning. Now, they are intertwined and have become a truly inseparable community.

The original reason for holding the Union Celebration was to celebrate the birth of the perfect heir to the bloodlines of humans, goblins, and elves, as this symbolized the complete unification of the Great Trade Federation and marked its becoming one.

The three factions that now rule Vargori are no longer the humans, goblins, and elves, but rather half-humans, half-goblins, and half-elves.

In a tavern run by humans, Gao Yang sat quietly at a table with white bread, mushroom soup, and a dried sausage on it.

Milofina remained perched on his shoulder, wagging her tail somewhat boredly.

Suddenly, she turned to Gao Yang and asked, "Gao Yang, we've been sitting here for half an hour already, are we going to continue sitting here?"

Gao Yang paused slightly as he ate, then put down his utensils and looked at Milofina, saying, "No need, you can continue."

With that, he got up and walked out of the tavern.

He had been sitting in the tavern for half an hour, not to gather intelligence or information, as those things were already useless to him.

What he was really doing was using his own senses to perceive the core area of ​​the city of Vagori and to probe the high-end combat power of the Great Trade Federation.

But half an hour later, his senses had silently permeated the entire city of Vagori, yet the high-end combat forces of the Great Trade Federation still hadn't made a move.

This made Gao Yang realize that even though the high-end combat power of the Great Trade Federation was very strong in actual combat, its perception and defense capabilities were not particularly outstanding.

Of course, it's more likely that they simply didn't notice Gao Yang's perception.

After all, Gao Yang used the concept of "harmony between man and nature" to perceive the entire Wagoli region in this special state.

Pushing open the door, Gao Yang walked straight toward the distant mountain peak.

The rulers of the Vagori all reside on the mountains, with those of higher status living at the highest points. The current half-goblin lord of the Federation lives atop that mountain.

Gao Yang's pace wasn't fast, but with each step, his body seemed to appear dozens of meters away as if in a flash, making him look somewhat ghostly.

Soon, Gao Yang passed through the crowds and arrived at the wide street at the foot of the mountain.

"Excuse me, sir, this is a private area and visits are prohibited."

Gao Yang stood there for only a few seconds before a garrison of soldiers, all over two meters tall and dressed in fine armor, came before him. The garrison commander removed his mask and looked at Gao Yang with a polite but firm expression.

In the eyes of the garrison commander, the human youth before him showed no aura, was relaxed and casual, had smooth and lustrous skin, and was accompanied by a beautiful pet cat. He was clearly a traveler visiting Vagori.

You don't meet this kind of person every day, but it's not uncommon either.

Gao Yang glanced at the garrison commander who had spoken, but said nothing, and simply took a step forward casually.

The garrison commander was about to stop him, but the next moment his eyes widened suddenly as he looked at Gao Yang in disbelief.

Because when Gao Yang took a step, his foot did not land on the ground, but in the air, as if there was an invisible staircase supporting his body, making him nearly 30 centimeters taller.

If that were all, the extraordinary garrison commander wouldn't be too surprised. The key point is that Gao Yang's actions didn't cause the slightest fluctuation; he accomplished this so effortlessly.

The garrison commander knew that not only him, but even the commander-in-chief of the entire Vagori garrison, who had reached the limit of the extraordinary, could not do this.

Gao Yang landed another step, his line of sight now level with the garrison commander.

Then, under the horrified gaze of the garrison, Gao Yang stepped over their heads, and wisps of crimson-gold battle qi surged out of his body like a torrent.

In an instant, it seemed as if a golden-red sun rose from the foot of the mountain, slowly ascending into the sky with an unstoppable momentum.

Thus, the garrison surrounding the mountains all saw the sun slowly rise above their heads, their eyes filled with more surprise than fear; the merchants and residents of the streets throughout Wagori also looked up, their eyes revealing a hint of bewilderment and incomprehension.

Some powerful individuals who had already reached the extraordinary realm quickly lowered their heads upon seeing the blazing sun. They felt a stinging pain in their eyes after just one instant of direct gaze, and feared that they might lose their eyes if they looked at it a few more times.

Just as Gao Yang revealed his aura, the mountain range beneath him seemed to be awakened, and several terrifying magical fluctuations suddenly spread from the hidden corners of the mountain range.

One of the magical energy fluctuations, after spreading out, transformed into a seven-colored magical energy pillar with a diameter of over ten meters in the next second. Like a roaring dragon tearing through the sky, it shot towards Gao Yang's location.

At this moment, accompanied by the roar of the magic crystal cannon, the entire Vagori fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stopped moving at that moment, even forgetting to breathe. They held their breath and stared at the magical pillar of light that pierced the sky, their hearts trembling.

That is the minimum respect given in the face of a terrifying weapon capable of destroying all living beings.

Faced with this terrifying bombardment, Gao Yang gripped Yongyao and slashed down with his sword.

A hundred-meter-long sword aura was unleashed, colliding with the pillar of magical light.

Then, the roaring, dragon-like pillar of magical light was swiftly and decisively shattered by this sword strike.

"Hahaha, you dare to bring out a mere magic crystal cannon to face me, you cat??"

The instant the magic beam was shattered, an extremely arrogant and magnetic voice resounded through the sky.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the golden-red sun, a hint of curiosity in their eyes: Could the owner of that sun be a woman?
But the terrifying sword energy just now didn't quite seem like it.

The failure of the magic crystal cannon did not affect the other attacks, and of course, these attacks did not affect Gao Yang in the slightest.

After Gao Yang casually annihilated the attack, eight legendary powerhouses appeared around him. Leading them was a two-meter-tall man with pointed elven ears. Gao Yang glanced at his face and immediately recognized him as Soren Vagori, the current ruler of the Great Trade Federation.

Soren squinted, scrutinizing Gao Yang carefully, before speaking with some uncertainty, "King Yu?"

"Is it surprising that the Lord of the Soren Federation sees me here?" Gao Yang held his sword and calmly looked at Soren opposite him.

Stung by Gao Yang's cold words, Soren couldn't help but snort, his tone becoming impolite: "The Feather King isn't in your Immortal Wasteland, but has instead come to our Great Trade Federation, and with such behavior, shouldn't I be surprised?"
Or should I greet you with a smile, Feather King?

Gao Yang stared at Soren's slightly bluish face. Although the other party had elven half-blood, he still retained the characteristics of goblin blood.

However, the other party inherited the arrogance of the elven race very perfectly.

Gao Yang shook his head slightly and continued, "It seems the Federation Lord doesn't quite understand why I've come here."

"Should I know?"

Soren's tone remained unfriendly, but in his mind he was frantically recalling the recent major transactions between the Federation and the Immortal Wasteland.

After all, this Feather King in front of them had easily killed three legendary powerhouses with a single sword strike five years ago, earning him a formidable reputation.

Although Sauron was already famous throughout the world of Eberron, a person's reputation precedes them. Now that the Feather King had taken the initiative to come to his door, and even adopted a accusatory attitude, Sauron had to consider the possible conflict between the two.

In this respect, Sauron certainly lacked the demeanor of a strongman.

After all, they had already come knocking on our door, so there was no way we could just leave it like that.

Of course, this is related to the way the Great Trade Federation operates. As a power that made its fortune through trade, it has always adhered to the principle of making money through harmony and being kind to others. When faced with someone coming to question them, their first reaction is to reflect on themselves rather than question others.

Gao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the undisguised confusion on Soren's face, and he already had a general idea in his mind.

He turned his gaze to the other seven legends beside Sauron, confirming his suspicions.

He looked at Soren and said, "A few days ago, I was assassinated by a legendary Shadow Assassin, a legendary assassin of the Shadow Empire."

Soren's eyes widened suddenly. As a legend of the world of Eberron, he was naturally very familiar with the Shadow Empire. The legendary shadow assassins trained by this organization could seriously injure or even kill him if he was not careful.

The fact that the Feather King was completely unharmed already demonstrated the opponent's strength.

Although he had a general understanding of Gao Yang's strength, Soren still questioned him with righteous indignation:

"If a legendary shadow assassin tried to assassinate you, go find the Shadow Empire. Why did you come to my Great Trade Federation? Are you trying to say that an assassin hired by our Great Trade Federation tried to assassinate you?"

Gao Yang shook his head again. He originally thought that the assassination was carried out by the higher-ups of the Great Trade Federation without the knowledge of the Federation leader, Soren.

However, judging from the other party's behavior, it seems that the Federation Chief in front of them is not the core figure who leads the Federation in the Great Transaction, but rather someone who serves as the face of the military force.

With that thought in mind, Gao Yang decided not to keep the other party in suspense any longer and said directly, "That's right, the evidence I have is that the assassins were hired by your Big Transaction Federation."

Soren paused, then subconsciously looked at the elders beside him, his eyes questioning.

Under his gaze, one of the goblin elders blinked involuntarily.

With just one glance, Soren knew that what Gao Yang said was true.

But now that things have already happened, and so many people are watching, he, as the leader of the power, naturally cannot show weakness.

"King Yu keeps saying that we hired you to assassinate him, so where is the evidence?"
Moreover, our Great Trade Federation is far stronger than your Immortal Wasteland, so why would we want to assassinate you?
Could it be that the Feather King sees our Great Trade Federation as easy to bully and is deliberately trying to come here to recoup some of his losses?

Soren asked three questions in a row without batting an eye, displaying the shamelessness of an old fox to the fullest extent.

Soren's shameless attitude directly ignited Milofina's fury. She abruptly stood up, bared her teeth, and glared at Gao Yang, saying:
"King Yu, why are you wasting your breath talking to them? Why don't we just wipe them out?"

Milofina's arrogant tone immediately provoked the anger of the legendary powerhouse on the other side:
"Hmph, quite the boast!" "Watch out, you might get killed instead of killed." "Try making a move if you dare!"

Gao Yang shook his head. If it weren't for the image of the Immortal Wasteland, he naturally wouldn't have wasted his breath.

Now that we've said it, since the other party won't admit it, let's be direct.

Zheng! !

A deafening, ear-piercing sword cry, emanating from Gao Yang's hand, soared into the sky with a terrifying pressure, like a massive boulder weighing ten thousand pounds, pressing down on the hearts of the eight legendary figures opposite him.

Soren and three elders were feeling relatively better, but the other four newly promoted legends, who had only been legendary for fifty years, suddenly changed their expressions, and their auras involuntarily emerged, indicating that they had already made defensive preparations.

With just a change in aura, the difference in strength was immediately apparent.

Soren took a step forward, and a golden battle staff suddenly appeared in his hand. A terrifying aura surged from his body, blocking most of the sword pressure emanating from Gao Yang.

"King Yu, you should think this through. Once the war starts, there will be no turning back. You can't withstand the combined attack of eight legendary figures."

Soren showed no burden of being a legendary powerhouse and immediately launched a full-scale attack.

Before Gao Yang could even respond, a blazing, thumb-thick ray shot out from beside him toward Gao Yang's chest.

In that instant, an elven elder made the first move.

Her action seemed to be a signal; in the next instant, all seven legends of the Great Trade Federation, except for Soren, the Federation Lord, launched an attack on Gao Yang.

In an instant, terrifying energy fluctuations engulfed the sky above Vagori, and an aura of destruction erupted from it without restraint, impacting the minds of the residents in the city below.

"Meow, Gao Yang, get him!"

Milofina let out an angry roar, and various support abilities were already being applied to Gao Yang.
