Chapter 245 14: The Player Nation! Holy Empire
After comparing notes in detail in the chat, the Lord Players discovered that the Gulad Empire's Divine Being operations went far beyond that.
They were practically trying to exterminate all the Lord Players within their borders.
At the same time, they also maintained an irreconcilably hostile relationship with all other Native Powers.
It was as if the Gulad Empire had isolated itself from the rest of the world, wanting to either take on the entire world alone or be taken down by it.
What?
What was going on?
What was Flame Emperor Galukasa thinking?
Or had this guy already been corrupted by an Evil God? Was he the biggest Evil God Believer in the Gulad Empire?
The Lord Players couldn't make heads or tails of the situation.
However, they knew better than anyone that the Gulad Empire was now a dead end for them, with no place left to go.
There were only three paths before them.
Break out to the south and seek refuge with the Ventecenia Kingdom and the Hafke Alliance, migrate west to join the island nations, or flee north to the Sub-human Tribes in the forest.
However, the Elf Kingdom, the greatest backer the Forest Sub-humans once relied on, had long since been destroyed.
Now, the northern Sub-humans were themselves in a desperate situation, their lives hanging by a thread. Seeking refuge with their faction at this time was practically a suicide mission.
No Money Great Treasure Sword complained in the chat:
"Holy crap!"
"The Gulad Empire is enforcing a nationwide lockdown! They won't let us Lord Players move an inch!"
"For those of us who settled in the Northern Territory from the start, heading north to the Forest Tribe is death, and if we try to go anywhere else, we'll be caught by the Imperial Army and killed all the same!"
"Aren't they basically telling us there's no way out?"
Xiaocao replied righteously:
"If you ask me!"
"We should just fight the Gulad Empire to the death!"
"Their main forces are all on the southern front anyway!"
"These local garrison forces haven't even reached the Extraordinary Realm. If we players unite all our Divine Chosen Armies, we might actually be a match for them!"
Tiamat asked:
"Or?"
"We could go north and join the Minotaur Kingdom?"
"Their overall strength might be a bit weak, but at least they can consistently produce Extraordinary Soldier Types. Against the Gulad Empire's regular troops, they can still put up a fight!"
Xiaocao said in agreement:
"That could work!"
"If we stay in the Gulad Empire's territory, we'll end up fighting them anyway!"
"We might as well flee to the Minotaur Kingdom first and team up with those Minotaurs to fight!"
No Money Great Treasure Sword nodded.
"True."
"I vote yes."
"When are you guys planning to leave? Take me with you!"
Wai Bi Babu immediately asked:
"But breaking through the Imperial blockade in the Northern Territory won't be that easy, will it?"
"The way I see it, we should lie low here for now. Swear allegiance to the Gulad Empire, and then, as they demand, send our Divine Chosen Team south to be cannon fodder... Once the big shots in the Hafke Alliance take down Flame Emperor Galukasa, we can look for the right moment to turn on them and catch them completely off guard!"
A player named "You There? Lend Me Some Dragon Gate Coins" chimed in:
"That plan might actually work."
"But the problem is, who knows when this war will ever end? Besides, the Evil God Believers hidden in the Gulad faction will definitely find excuses to come after us."
"They even dare to kick down other people's Lord's Halls."
"There's no guarantee that they won't just level our Lord's Halls too, even after we've sworn allegiance!"
The player named "Big Bird Spinning" said:
"Exactly!"
"The problem is that these bastards don't play by the rules!"
"They actually dare to stomp on and destroy the Lord's Halls of us Divine Chosen Lords!"
"Now everyone's in a panic!"
"We can't flee, we can't fight, and we can't swear fealty... We have no sense of security at all!"
A player named "Oreo" chimed in:
"So what's the verdict?"
"Haven't the big shots figured out a plan yet?"
"I have a feeling the Gulad Empire's local administrator is about to make a move on me, so I've got to pack my things and slip away to the north first."
"Take care, everyone..."
Just as the numerous players in the Northern Territory were still endlessly debating the Gulad Empire's recent "Divine Being operations" and trying to figure out a counter-strategy, a new face named "Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior" suddenly spoke up:
"Um."
"Everyone."
"Tingfeng told me not to make a big deal about this yet."
"But given the current situation, I think it's better to reveal the existence of the 'Holy Empire.' That way, everyone will have another faction to choose from..."
Following that, Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior laid out all the details about Tingfeng creating the player nation, the "Holy Empire." He even specifically told everyone that his leader, Tingfeng, had just led a Divine Chosen Army and a native army all the way to the foot of the Great Wall in the empire's Northern Territory.
Everyone: "???"
Wait!
Dude!
Is that even how you play this game?
A special nation founded by a player, in the early stages of the "King's War" event, just pinned the strongest Native Power to the ground and beat them up, even capturing their strongest border defense structure?
Even if this strongest Native Power had already moved all of its strongest main Extraordinary Forces away!
But as the saying goes, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse!
'How could they be so easy to defeat?'
What's more!
A player who is the emperor of their own nation can't spawn native barracks!
If you want an Extraordinary Soldier Type!
You either have to raise and train those inscrutable Native Creatures!
Or you have to possess a unique, top-tier Talent that can convert Native Creatures into Divine Chosen Soldiers!
