The perceiver in the Lion Heart Empire's team noticed Lu Heng the moment he appeared and issued a warning.
Gilbert Ocam swung the Knight's Sword, delivering a final blow to the last Shadow Demon, and then stood on the sea surface with four other teammates, confronting Lu Heng.
Time is urgently pressing; if delayed any longer, Flame Demon Gros will reach land.
By then, even if the High Priestess Sona of the Sea Demon Clan is rescued, it will be impossible to stop Flame Demon Gros from destroying the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom.
Thus, Lu Heng got straight to the point, asking, "Hand over the Sea God Gem, and I won't pursue today's matter further."
After all, there are five of them, and to be recruited into the Danger Level 7 Abyss Battlefield, their level can't be low.
Exhausting physical strength on these five might leave insufficient stamina to face Flame Demon Gros later.
Therefore, if this matter can be settled through negotiation, it is indeed the best approach.
