The next day, a drake descended upon the Thunder Highland.

It was a mutated sky drake with three heads, its body enveloped in a deep crimson hue, and its scales were seemingly seeping with flowing lava. A formidable aura emanated from its entire being.

As it traversed the land, the drake's presence echoed through the surroundings, causing nearby magical beasts to flee in a state of panic.

Eventually, the drake landed and assumed a humanoid form, revealing itself to be none other than the Skydrake Archpriest of the Darkness City.

Li Si raised his staff and conjured a teleportation field. Within a few minutes, figures started appearing one by one.

Nancilia emerged from the field, her eyes wide with awe. "Wow, is this the Thunder Highland?"

The Thunder Highland was a part of the Chaotic Forest, a harsh and frigid region for the majority of races.

However, for certain exceptional magical creatures and races, it served as an ideal homeland.

Veiled in perpetual dark clouds, the Thunder Highland thrived with an abundance of thunder elemental energy.

Thunder and lightning crackled incessantly, posing a threat to those unaccustomed to its environment.

Now, the Demon King's legion from the Darkness City had arrived, accompanied by a retinue of several silver giants.

Among them were the city lord of Thunderclap City and the chief of the silver giants, Jin Kui, a formidable Level 4 overlord.

The Thunder Highland, with its unique and picturesque scenery.

However, the Demon King was not here for sightseeing. He arrived with his entourage at Thunderclap City.

In this world of diverse races, each race had its own customs, culture, and distinct dwelling places.

For instance, the elves preferred the treetop abodes, giving rise to elven treehouses.

Dwarves, on the other hand, favored underground dwellings, resulting in cities like Ironheart, built around mining pits.

The Thunderclap City of the silver giants deviated significantly from traditional cities.

It was situated amidst a mountainous plateau, enveloped in swirling clouds. Thousands of peaks formed the landscape, each one sculpted into an elliptical spire.

The housing of the giants was unlike that of humans.

They preferred to carve their houses directly into the mountains, transforming thousands of small peaks into "mountain houses" where several to dozens of giants resided.

All the mountain houses in this mountainous region collectively formed what was known as Thunderclap City.

Moreover, each house's roof was meticulously shaped into a cone, adorned with materials that attracted thunder elements. Consequently, they constantly drew lightning strikes and absorbed the electric energy.

At first glance, thousands of peaks of the highland were arranged in perfect harmony, shrouded in thunderstorms and cascades of electric light, making it nigh impossible for outsiders to approach and creating a visually stunning impact.

"So, this is the giant's city?"

"Truly a sight to behold!"

By looking into hidden information, Zhang Nu discovered that Thunderclap City housed a total of 48,000 Silver Giants, with only 30,000 of them being young adults.

Needless to say, in terms of population, Thunderclap City fell short compared to large forest cities like Ironheart City or Berserk Beast City, with their populations reaching hundreds of thousands.

In fact, the giant population even paled in comparison to some small forest cities.

However, in terms of grandeur and territorial scale, Thunderclap City surpassed them tenfold.

Silver giants were considered an advanced race, and recruiting such a group of followers would prove invaluable in the future.

Zhang Nu continued to lead his troops forward.

At that moment, Thunderclap City became alert of the Demon King's presence, and hundreds, even thousands, of silver giants wielding thunder and lightning rushed out.

"Chieftain?!"

"They've captured our chieftain!"

"Release our chieftain immediately!"

Several hot-tempered silver giant elders were filled with rage, and dozens, even hundreds, of silver giants immediately gathered the power of lightning, ready to launch an attack.

They had no fear of collateral damage.

They were not concerned about harming their chieftain.

Silver giants relied on powerful lightning attacks. Not only did these attacks possess a wide effective range and immense power, they also carried a paralyzing effect, disrupting the movements of their enemies.

At the same time, silver giants possessed exceptional resistance to lightning.

Thus, even if all the attacks landed around their chieftain, it would not cause any harm. Instead, it would indirectly replenish their chieftain's strength.

Upon witnessing this, Zhang Nu had no intention of taking action.

However, Nancilia had immediately completed an incantation.

With her instantaneous teleportation magic, she appeared with remarkable precision before the group of giants. Without waiting for the giants to initiate their attacks, she struck the ground with her Elven King's Scepter.

In the instant the Elven King's scepter struck the ground, an abundance of grasses, plants, and flowers erupted like fountains, rapidly spreading in all directions within a radius of over five hundred meters from the center point.

In the blink of an eye, the entire area was enveloped in a flourishing tapestry of nature.

Within this range, all the Silver Giants found their bodies entangled by hundreds of serpentine roots that emerged from the ground.

These roots not only suppressed their strength but also seemed to voraciously absorb their MP.

The lightning gathered in the giants' hands was immediately siphoned away.

"What kind of magic is this?"

"No, this isn't just magic!"

"This is a domain skill. She is an Elven King!"

Nancilia had activated her Monarch's Domain.

Zhang Nu had observed that each monarch possessed a unique domain.

His own Monarch's Domain could cast opponents into a chaotic void, inducing weightlessness, disorientation, and diminished mobility. It could profoundly suppress their stats, seal their skills, and continually drain their HP.

Nancilia's "Divine Tree Domain" possessed its own binding effect, allowing her to replenish her own MP by absorbing it from her opponents. It could even weaken enemy attacks by absorbing their magical energy.

Undoubtedly, although the form and structure were different, the Divine Tree Domain remained a formidable Monarch's Domain.

Zhang Nu believed that, even compared to other monarchs, Nancilia's domain was of top-notch quality and level.

In just an instant, tens of hundreds of giant warriors were restrained. Among them were several giant elders.

This was an extraordinary feat that left the silver giants astounded by the incredible power of this seemingly unremarkable elven girl.

However, even more so than the power of this young Elven King, they were stunned by her identity.

This young elf was a genuine Elven King, a true ruler of the elves.

Even for them, the presence of an Elven King held tremendous significance and weight.

Why would an Elven King appear in the Chaos Forest? And why would a mighty Elven King choose to make an enemy out of the giants? Is Thunderclap City really going to confront an Elven King?!

Setting aside the fact that dealing with an Elven King is no easy task, even if someone had the ability to eliminate this Elven King, would the silver giants of Thunderclap City dare to take such action?

If news of the Elven King's demise were to spread, Thunderclap City would immediately become the archenemy of the entire elven race, facing their furious retaliation.

"Halt!"

"Everyone, stop!"

"Cease your attacks!"

City lord Jin Kui hurriedly shouted, fearing that his people would underestimate the severity of the situation and risk offending the Demon King.

And yet, currently, Jin Kui himself was also filled with immense shock!

He had initially believed that the Dragon Demon King possessing the strength of a mythic level dragon was already an incredibly unbelievable fact.

But he never expected that the Demon King had acquired a subordinate who was an Elven King!

It was simply too difficult to believe.

Monarch entities were dignified and great leaders!

Beings of this caliber would not easily submit to others, and the elven race, in particular, had a strong sense of pride. This was truly inconceivable!

As he had thought, the Demon King's might was far greater than Jin Kui had imagined!

Even without the Demon King personally intervening, the combined might of the Elven King and the draconian legion from Darkness City was already beyond what Thunderclap City could handle!

To align themselves with the Dragon Demon King was their only path forward.

Jin Kui immediately declared with his booming voice, "All of you! Kneel!"

"Chieftain!"

"Why?"

"Why must we kneel?"

Jin Kui continued to shout, "From this day forward, Thunderclap City shall pledge allegiance to the magnificent mythic dragon, the Lord of Darkness City, and the supreme and illustrious Great Demon King!"

As his words boomed across the scene, astonishment seized the giants of Thunderclap City.

A mythic dragon?

What?!

The silver giants struggled to fathom the magnitude of this revelation, as they had never contemplated the existence of beings of mythic level.

"A mythic dragon?!"

Nancilia's eyes widened.

Could it be that His Majesty has already attained mastery over the Dominions of Laws and transcended into the realm of a mythic level powerhouse? If so, it would be truly awe-inspiring!

Seeing that his people were still bewildered, Jin Kui was on the verge of losing his temper.

These foolish imbeciles could not even comprehend plain speech?

The enraged silver giant chieftain bellowed, "Anyone who dares to defy my orders shall be expelled from Thunderclap City and banished from the Thunder Highlands!"

The giants were stunned.

They had never witnessed their chieftain so enraged before.

Several loyalist giant elders hurriedly knelt down.

Seeing the elders kneeling, the Thunderclap City warriors followed suit, and in quick succession, thousands upon thousands of Thunderclap City residents, like a cascade of falling mountains and toppling pillars, thunderously knelt en masse.

Giants were truly astonishing beings.

Even their kneeling and submitting appeared more majestic than others.

It was as if thousands upon thousands of towering mountains had collapsed before them, causing a small earthquake that could be felt for miles around.

And then, at that moment...

A notification arrived.

[45342 silver giants have surrendered to you. Accept?]

[You've conquered Thunderclap City!]

[You gained Shining Mythminite Chest x1]

Upon seeing the reward chest, Zhang Nu felt immensely satisfied.

Thunderclap City was actually a Level 4 overlord area, unlike Ironheart City, which was a Level 5 overlord city. In terms of level, Thunderclap City was not as powerful as Ironheart City.

However, the quality of the reward chest was the same level.

This was because Ironheart City's rank of Level 5 overlord was mainly boosted by the presence of a single powerful ancient blood daemon.

In terms of the average strength of warriors and residents, Ironheart City was definitely inferior to Thunderclap City.

Zhang Nu swept a glance.

The ordinary warriors of Thunderclap City were all Level 4 elites, while the elders were all Level 4 lords, with several exceptionally powerful elders reaching the rank of Level 4 overlord.

Even the common residents of Thunderclap City, once they reached adulthood, had at least the strength of Level 3 elites.

Although the giants of Thunderclap City had lower population compared to the dwarves of Ironheart City, if they were to engage in a battle, considering the overall strength and excluding the ancient blood daemon, Thunderclap City would definitely have the upper hand.

Suffice to say, if it wasn't for Zhang Nu's advancement into Level 5, causing the silver giant chieftain to be bowled over by his demonstration of immense might, then even if the forces of the Darkness City attempted to forcibly take over Thunderclap City, they would likely have to pay a hefty price.

These giants were not to be underestimated.

Not engaging in a battle and subduing them peacefully was the best outcome.

Zhang Nu had easily conquered this giant city without much effort!
