Liu Chai seemed extremely unwilling when he agreed to pull back his troops. Nonetheless, the nine messengers were grateful as they thought Liu Chai was showing them respect.
When the Player Clan retreated, the Rock Ghost King performed an outburst of acting out and bellowed in anger. He started commanding his subordinates, the Army of Tree Demons, to go in hot pursuit and attack, resulting in the players losing a lot more of their troops. All the nine messengers could feel their hearts aching at the sight of this.
Once they returned to the Mansion of the Dead, all the players pretended to be exhausted and lay on all sides on the floor while resting.
"Messengers, you've seen the strength of my clan. We are as true as steel and fear no death in a battle, but unfortunately, we don't have sufficient equipment and resources… sigh…" Liu Chai sighed as he spoke.
