The Lord of Hell

Chapter 3495 Sneak Attack

Chapter 3495 Sneak Attack

"I didn't distort the truth, Barbara, you're the one distorting the truth."

Seth sighed and said in a pretentious tone, "I know you've always been resentful that I became the clan leader, so you've been secretly causing trouble, but it's no use. The elders aren't stupid; they won't fall for your tricks."

"Nobody's stupid, and nobody's going to fall for your tricks, Barbara. Stop now, and I might let you off the hook. If you keep causing trouble, I'll have no choice but to kill you."

Upon hearing Seth's words, the soldiers once again pointed their weapons at Barbara and her group. Although Barbara played the recording, it was to no avail; the soldiers trusted Seth more.

Isn't that obvious? Seth is the patriarch, and most of the elders are on his side. If they don't believe him, who will they believe?

Of course, many people also chose to side with Seth because of their own interests. After all, Seth's chances of winning seemed much greater, and it was only natural to stand with the victor.

Barbara gritted her teeth in anger. Although she had long guessed that things wouldn't go so smoothly, she never expected Seth to be so shameless, and she never expected that those soldiers would be so blind. Even after she showed them the video, they still didn't believe her.

“Seth, I will never yield to you. If you want war, then let us fight.”

Barbara shouted, and she, along with the elders and the soldiers who had followed, took up their weapons and confronted Seth's army head-on.

"Then let's fight."

Seth grinned menacingly and waved his hand. The soldiers transformed in unison, their killing intent terrifying. Barbara's soldiers also transformed into orc forms, preparing to fight the defenders.

Just then, Seth suddenly felt an immense pressure, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, unable to even get up.

Seth had experienced this situation once before, when it was suppressed by the bloodline of Quetzalcoatl. However, he was puzzled, as he had not seen Barbara use her scales, so why was he being attacked again?

Of course, although he didn't understand, it didn't stop Seth from using the methods he had prepared beforehand to temporarily modify the snake bloodline in his body. In an instant, the oppressive aura disappeared.

Bloodline pressure only works on those of the same bloodline. Seth borrowed the power of Sithon to slightly modify the serpent's bloodline, thus successfully becoming immune to bloodline pressure.

Of course, it sounds simple, but not many people can actually do it. Seth and Sithon were able to do it because their true forms are multi-dimensional beings, knowledgeable and insightful. Under such circumstances, it is normal for them to temporarily modify their bloodlines.

For big shots like these, a trump card usually only works once. After that, if they survive, they will definitely be able to figure out a way to counter it.

However, modifying one's bloodline comes at a price. Seth's strength decreased by at least 30%, and the effect wouldn't last long—if it lasted too long, his body would collapse.

This is also why Seth was affected before; the duration was too short. Unless he sees Barbara using the scales, Seth definitely won't modify his bloodline.

Seth regained his strength and immediately got up from the ground. He was about to get angry when he saw the Grand Elder and several other elders being grabbed by the neck by a leopard tail and pulled toward Barbara.

When the elders were attacked, they put up a fight, but unfortunately, Barbara used the power of Quetzalcoatl, and they were no match for her.

Under Andrew's guidance, Barbara fused with the scales of Quetzalcoatl. Now she no longer needs to summon the phantom of Quetzalcoatl to fight; she herself is Quetzalcoatl. This is why she was able to suppress Set without using the scales.

"Barbara, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Seth couldn't help but shout, and at the same time yelled angrily at Sithon in the 'group chat': "Why didn't you stop Barbara? This is troublesome now."

“You suddenly fell down, and my attention was all on you, which gave Barbara an opening.”

"I'm not an orc," Sithon said unhappily. To avoid suspicion and to launch a sneak attack, he lurked nearby instead of standing with Set. This did have its advantages, but his reaction speed would definitely be slower.

"So what if a few puppets were captured? What's so bad about that?"

The Steel Tree asked, puzzled. Seth and Sithon shook their heads simultaneously. The Steel Tree, or rather the Compound Five Trees, were too young and lacked worldly wisdom. The capture of the Grand Elder and the others was not just bad, it was extremely bad.

If Set disregards the lives of the Elders and the others and forcibly attacks Barbara, the orc soldiers will surely become disaffected and even doubt Him. At that time, they will very likely believe Barbara's words, turn the tide, and oppose Set.

The orcs are indeed savage, but they are not chaotic; rather, they are an orderly race. Since they are an orderly race, the chieftain's unauthorized killing of the Grand Elder would certainly cause objections from the others. Moreover, the Grand Elder also controlled a considerable amount of power and an army.

If that weren't the case, why would Barbara have kidnapped them? Normally, she should have taken the opportunity to ambush Seth.

Seth didn't explain anything. He turned to Barbara with a mixture of shock and anger and demanded, "Barbara, what are you doing? If anything happens to the Grand Elders, you won't be spared even if you die ten times over."

The other soldiers were also furious and shouted at Barbara, demanding that she release the elder and the others.

"Seth, I knew you would twist the truth, so I prepared in advance. All the things I said to you before were just to buy time."

Barbara sneered at Seth, "Let us leave the royal city, and I will naturally return these puppets to you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. Anyway, they have already become puppets, and killing them will be a relief for them."

"You want to leave the royal city?"

Seth narrowed his eyes. This request might not seem too unreasonable to others, but Seth and his group could not accept it because their main goal was to capture Barbara as soon as possible to prevent her from contacting the Mechanical Demon King.

"Sysorn, control those elders and make them figure out a way to self-destruct."

Seth secretly said to Xisorn, "It doesn't matter whether these elders live or die. The key is that they cannot die because of Seth."

"I'll give it a try."

Sithon nodded: "Say something nice to give me an opportunity, otherwise it would be too illogical for you to suddenly self-destruct."

“Okay,” Seth said.

"You've already taken control of this place. What can I do if I don't leave?"

Barbara said very frankly, "I will go to the cities below to organize troops and fight you properly. Set, I will never let you turn the orcs into tools."

"I am the chieftain of the orcs. How could I turn the orcs into tools? I will only make the orcs flourish, completely annihilate humanity, and become the overlords of this world."

Seth said arrogantly, "Barbara, turn back before it's too late. I'll give you one last chance. As long as you release the Grand Elder and the others, I'll forgive and forget what happened."
