Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents

Chapter 244 13: Guaranteed Purple Equipment, Land of Corruption Skill Book

"The Flame Emperor Galukasa's Dragon Cavalry Legion is just too overpowered."

"Especially the Royal Dragon Cavalry he leads personally. He must have some unique Talent for enhancing Dragon Cavalry. Their combat power is at least ten times stronger than a regular Dragon Cavalry Team."

"That's why our kingdom's cities on the front lines are falling so quickly."

"However, Ventecenia's major cities are all protected by Magic Cannons, so Flame Emperor Galukasa's Dragon Cavalry Legion can't do much to them in the short term."

"We just have to wait for us Lord Players within the kingdom to build up our power."

"Then we can immediately launch a counterattack."

"So, if any of you feel there's something wrong with the Gulad Empire, you should switch over to our Ventecenia kingdom's faction as soon as possible, or any other nation you feel good about."

"The Gulad Empire is facing internal turmoil and external threats right now. It's not a Native Power worth pledging allegiance to at all."

Tiamat: "True."

"Get out of the Gulad Empire."

"I'm currently on the border between the Western Archipelago nations and the Gulad Empire's territory."

"Just because I didn't directly pledge allegiance to the Gulad Empire, their army came and destroyed my Lord's Hall, and I lost my resurrection ability..."

Chengdu cool girl: "Holy shit! Bro! Are you serious? Your Lord's Hall is gone?"

Tiamat: "Yeah."

"It's not a big deal."

"My development strategy for this round of the Lord Game was flawed anyway."

"I was already planning to find a chance during the fourth stage to use a Lord's Stone and start over."

"So if the Lord's Hall is gone, it's gone."

"It doesn't matter."

Chengdu cool girl: "No... what I mean is, the Gulad Empire actually attacked your Lord's Hall. The implications of that are serious!?"

"We Divine Chosen Lords have Infinite Resurrection!"

"This ability is no secret among the sufficiently powerful Native Creatures!"

"They know it, too!"

"We Divine Chosen Lords can't get by without the help of the Native Powers!"

"It's not like we can conjure Extraordinary Soldiers out of thin air!"

"We have to pledge allegiance to a Native Power first to gain access to their faction's Soldier Types, obtain the corresponding Extraordinary Camp, and then train soldiers of the Extraordinary Realm!"

"So, if the Native Creatures have a conflict with us, while they might send troops to attack our territory directly, they might also choose to take special targeted or preventative measures against us personally!"

"But they would absolutely never risk losing a powerful future ally just to destroy our Lord's Hall!"

"An act like that doesn't just offend the Divine Chosen Lord whose Lord's Hall was destroyed!"

"More importantly, it makes the Lord Players who have already pledged allegiance to them worry that the Native Power might one day burn the bridge after crossing it—that they might exterminate us Lord Players who helped them ascend to the throne of the 'Heaven's Chosen Ruler,' or use our lives as leverage to force us to do unreasonable things!"

"It's just like the nobles of the Middle Ages!"

"When they captured nobles from an enemy power, they would never behead them casually. They would just wait for the captive's family to ransom them with money. This was to ensure that they themselves, as nobles, wouldn't be killed in a brutal war."

"Otherwise, if someone were to break this rule, the other nobles would start to worry—that if they fell into enemy hands in the future, they too would die in a dungeon. They would no longer be able to just spend a few Gold Coins after a war and return home safely like before."

"So, at that point, all the nobles would unite to attack the one who broke the rules, ensuring that person's Heaven-defying actions wouldn't put them in danger."

"It's the same principle."

"The Native Powers of the Lord World are equally afraid that we Lord Players will unite to attack them."

"That's why they basically never destroy our Lord's Halls."

"And yet..."

"The Gulad Empire..."

"They're not afraid at all..."
