Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents

Chapter 378 - 80: 1 vs. 8! Get Ready to Feel the Power of the "Wall-Hanging Empire

After an explanation from an elite player of the Hafke Alliance, everyone finally understood. It wasn’t that foreign Lord Players didn’t want to attack those from Hua Country; the costs and consequences of starting a war in the early game were simply too high. No one was willing to take the massive risk of invading the Lord Planes of players from Hua Country.

After all, before reaching Level 100 in the early game, suffering a catastrophic defeat meant needing to invest several extra months or even years just to catch back up.

However, upon reaching the level 90-plus stage of Tier Four, most players were unable to obtain the Stone of the Gods, the Heaven’s Chosen Ruler title, or the Void Realm Annihilator title. Unable to break through past Level 100, they would find themselves capped out with an overflow of resources.

At this point, whether it was for fun, to explore ways to break past Level 100, or simply to get revenge on the Lord Players from Hua Country... foreign Lord Players would actively initiate "invasions."

Moreover, as the Attackers, even though foreign players couldn’t benefit from various Attribute and buff bonuses and would suffer considerable losses upon defeat, their Lord’s Halls wouldn’t be teleported to the enemy Plane. This meant their actual player bodies were in an "immortal" state, allowing them to run rampant in enemy territory.

As a result, these "cross-border invasions" would become increasingly frequent. Even Lord Players within Hua Country would almost always take the initiative during Tier Four to attack the Planes of foreign Lord Players with whom they had grudges.

Of course, regardless of which side initiated an attack, they had to contend with a massive environmental disadvantage.

The core reason for this was that the farther apart players were in their real-world geographical locations, the farther their Planes would be from each other in the Lord Game.

This directly led to two key problems. First, the time required to open a Plane Gate increased significantly. Second, the defenders would receive a system notification in advance, giving them ample time to prepare for battle.

"Alright!"

"Everyone, quiet down!"

"Our leader is back!"

"I just got an update from her. There’s good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

The moment the Hafke Fireman finished speaking, the others immediately appeared in the regional channel, clamoring all at once:

"The bad news first!"

"The bad news first!"

"If we know sooner, we can mentally prepare so we don’t panic later!"

"Exactly!"

"Save the best for last!"

"Spill it already!"

At their words, the Hafke Fireman’s tone grew heavy as he continued:

"The bad news is, we still don’t know the full story on this Eight Realms Alliance Army, but it’s almost certainly a ’Sniper Army’ secretly formed by foreign Lord Players."

"They have two objectives. First, to specifically stunt Lord Tingfeng’s growth. Second, to steal the Divine Stone Fragments from our Hua Country."

The Hafke Fireman paused before adding:

"Some of you might not be clear on this, so let me explain one of the rules."

"Divine Stone Fragments are distributed by country. Each country’s territory has a fixed set of twelve. It’s not that there are only twelve fragments in the entire world."

"So, by old convention, the Lords of each country would fight for the fragments within their own territory and would never interfere with the Divine Stone Fragments of other nations."

A note of indignation entered the Hafke Fireman’s voice:

"But!"

"This year is different!"

"Our Hua Country has produced a super-genius like Lord Tingfeng, and those foreigners probably couldn’t take it anymore. So they’ve thrown international conventions out the window and are coming directly after us!"

"As for the good news..."

The Hafke Fireman deliberately dragged out the words, then suddenly raised his voice:

"The Delta Alliance, the Freljord Alliance, and the Monster Association Alliance backing us—all the major Player Alliances in Hua Country—are sending their top Tier Three elites to support us!"

He clenched his fist, his voice full of confidence:

"We don’t have to be afraid of fighting one against eight! We’re going to meet them head-on! Eight versus eight! We’re gonna crush these foreign bastards!"

The moment he said that, the crowd erupted, shouting in excitement:

"Holy shit!"

"This is insane!"

"Fucking awesome! That many major alliances are coming to help?"

"Hahahaha, nothing brings people together like a common enemy! Those foreigners are going to eat shit this time!"

"No kidding!"

"Just look at Lord Tingfeng’s Heaven-defying bonuses!"

"Even though the reinforcements won’t get the buffs from the Heaven’s Chosen Ruler and Void Realm Conqueror titles, Lord Tingfeng’s War Blessing Talent gives all nearby allies in the battle a 450% boost to their Extra Attribute Value and Extra Life Value!"

"With a monstrous bonus like that, won’t our defensive alliance of eight Planes be able to absolutely wreck those foreigners?"

However, just as everyone was gathered around the map, excitedly chatting about the upcoming eight-versus-eight showdown and looking forward to grinding that foreign ’sniper squad’ targeting Lord Tingfeng into the dust, a message from Qin Feng suddenly popped up in the chat area.

"No."

That single word instantly silenced the raucous discussion.

Qin Feng quickly added:

"We don’t need to call for reinforcements from other Lord Planes."

"We’ll fight them by ourselves."

Everyone was stunned. He continued to explain:

"Only by fighting this alone can we claim the full victory rewards."

"If we fight this Plane War alongside the other seven Planes, our final rewards will be cut by seven-eighths."

The crowd stared at the messages in the chat box. A dead silence fell, then all hell broke loose.
