The Black Lava Nation had achieved victory!
Rhine City had fallen.
For the following half a month, the powerful Black Lava army continued to push into the hinterland of Iron Nation. The soldiers of Iron Nation either surrendered or lost their cities and fortresses in the battle
After a month.
When Black Lava Nation had reached the doorsteps of the Iron Nation and was about to begin their attack, field marshal Kainor decapitated the old imbecile King. Then, he opened the city gates and welcomed the Black Lava legions.
It was then that Black Lava Nation announced its final victory.
After the war.
In the southeastern corner, only one nation existed, the Black Lava Nation. And If 3 more high-level professionals appeared in Black Lava Nation, then it would become a Grand Duchy
Of course, there was also an ally, the City of Dawn.
Very few people could figure out why Black Lava Nation had achieved such an easy victory.
Many people thought that the Iron Nation was much inferior to the Black Lava Nation.
But nobody knew William had paid a high price for all his efforts.
They did not know that William destroyed four legions that could help Iron Nation win the war. He had also killed Augustine. It was because of him, that the Black Lava Nation could achieve its current glory!
William slowly faded from the public view.
The Black Lava King also turned his back on the Dawn Mercenary Team. He announced that it was the Black Lava legions that conquered the Iron Nation and also commented that the Dawn Mercenary Team did not have much effect on the war.
That was what William wanted them to see.
He did not want to blow things up and attract too much attention. He had diminished his influence so that he could have peace and slowly continue developing.
It was the prerogative of a ruler.
It was the same all over the world.
The ruler had the most information.
The commoners were fools in the eyes of the nobles and the people in the know.
It was not because the commoners were short-sighted.
It was not because the commoners were not intelligent.
It was not because the commoners had no visions.
It was because the commoners and the soldiers could only see what they were supposed to see.
What were the commoners able to see?
Things that the rulers wanted them to see!
Discussions, ideas, and information that seemed beneficial to the rulers were conveyed purposely to them.
The rulers wanted the commoners to think that they understood the truth.
But the truth that the commoners saw was actually far from the real truth.
Initially, people would doubt the truth. They would be rational in their thinking and use their brain to assess it critically.
But as time passed, the ‘truth’ would be gradually revealed, and people believed it was the actual truth.
Other than some strong-willed and intelligent people, most of the commoners would lose their independent thoughts. They became foolish commoners who followed the herd.
That was the advantage of controlling public opinion and public view.
It was these two things that William understood he had to control, if he wanted more power in the ‘Gods’ world.
But the criteria for controlling these two things were power and influence.
William wanted his commoners and subordinates to sacrifice for their Lord. But he could not let them know too much truth.
He had to let his citizens see the good side of him!
This could be termed as image design.
Everyone had an image. Some people tried very hard to create a good image, so when their bad deeds were exposed, it had adverse effects.
William’s secret plan to control the Black Lava Nation was his shady side. It could never be exposed to the public.
So to carry out his shady activities, he could only use his most loyal subordinates..
They had to have 950+ loyalty. Otherwise, if they exposed his shady plans, besides unfavorable repercussions from his citizens, the powerful nobles of the Human nations would come after him.
Hence, he had to be extremely discreet. He must not let anything catch hold of his shady deeds.
The main plot mission of the legendary continent’s players had ended!
The players belonging to the Black Lava Nation and the City of Dawn had received generous rewards.
They gained large amounts of experience points. It could help them upgrade by 4~5 levels. Many players preferred to upgrade their skill levels instead of character level.
The players were also awarded a generous amount of contribution points that allowed them to change their equipment. Many players could upgrade to a blue-quality equipment set or a silver weapon with a half set of blue-quality equipment.
Changli Jiuge was the top player who inflicted the most damage. He received a novice epic-level battlesword!
Xiao Ayin obtained second place and was awarded a dark-gold weapon.
Lucky Dream obtained the third place and was awarded a dark-gold weapon.
The fourth to tenth winners received gold-quality weapons.
The 11th – 100th winners received silver-quality weapons.
The Dawn Mercenary Team gave out generous rewards so that the players could be proud of becoming part of the team.
The Dawn players discovered that the Black Lava players seemed jealous and wanted to beat them up.
Because the rewards were too tempting.
After the war, most of the players returned to the City of Dawn while some players stayed in Black Lava Nation.
The players of Iron Nation had lost the war and they had to retreat far north. Their main plot mission failed and they only received half the rewards. It was a bad day for them.
The player, Light of Freedom, made a firm decision. He led 20,000 players and traveled a great distance to the northern Emerald Grand Duchy.
It was unlikely that they would survive in the wild.
They could not possibly stay here in the wild.
It could not be helped.
Reputation.
Stubbornness.
Willfulness.
Ability to revive.
That ability was the player’s winning trait.
The current virtual games had a high degree of freedom.
The main plot would no longer be a restraint on the players. A true virtual reality game would have a high degree of freedom. Otherwise, the players would quit the game.
It was precisely because of this high degree of freedom that the players chose ‘Gods’ instead of other virtual games.
Only a portion of the Iron Nation players chose to join the City of Dawn.
Many Iron Nation players realized an opportunity. The Black Lava players wanted to attack the Dawn players!
Hence some Iron Nation players joined the Black Lava Nation so that they could take revenge.
According to logic, Black Lava Nation was one that destroyed Iron Nation.
If the City of Dawn were to fight with the Black Lava Nation, why did the players not join the City of Dawn to attack the Black Lava Nation?
Because the players did not want to lose…
They believed that the Black Lava Nation was stronger and could defeat the City of Dawn.
After the second prince ascended the throne, He did not introduce many changes in the nation. It was still based on the aristocracy. But the second prince started to accept the chosen ones who defected to him. He also announced a southern plain mission.
For a moment.
Black Lava and Dawn players would meet each other on the plain while doing their missions.
They did not communicate much. They preferred to fight over their disagreements.
Therefore.
The fighting became serious.
It started from small scale team skirmishes and became small guild wars.
Then it became faction wars of large guilds and guild alliances.
Killing on the plain became official.
It was a battlefield that belonged to the players.
It was a mission location that belonged to the players.
That was the freedom zone, killing zone and training zone.
William stayed behind the scenes and laughed.
“It’s no big deal losing some blood. It’s good to be fearless and fight more to gain experience. It’s better than being walloped in later wars and being powerless to deal with the invasion of Darkness!” William sipped his wine as his gaze rested on a faraway place.
William,
Within half a year,
He had become the King.
But he had to rapidly upgrade himself to deal with the future invasion of Darkness.
