Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 458: Insurgent Faction (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader 10/10)

[Friendly Reminder: Team mode will be very beneficial for you to survive the most difficult early stage. But you do not need to all squeeze into one area; you need to manage your own camps and armies yourselves. However, you can also mutually trade, conduct commerce, and request teammates to launch support, if you want to launch a campaign! But please be cautious: the relationship between you is even more fragile than a family that loves each other. Moreover, because the reputation of the Insurgent Faction is foul, after joining, Troubled Times Prestige will automatically drop by 10.]

[Friendly Reminder: Surviving in the Times of Chaos, Prestige is the most luxurious thing, even more precious than gold!]

[Friendly Reminder: In the Ascension Continent, there are only two types of universal currency. One is the Standard Gold Coin of the three major Kingdoms, and the other is the Barbarian Gold Coin. The exchange rate between the two sides is 10:1.]

Fuck, so we are all Rebellious Officials and Treacherous Sons, huh?

Li Wei laughed 'haha' in his heart. It was quite thrilling. But thinking carefully, it was also true: before which unified Empire rose was it not a Times of Chaos? And aren't those who create the Times of Chaos precisely Rebellious Officials and Treacherous Sons?!

The other functions were useless, he could only view the Ascension Continent Map. With a thought, Li Wei directly viewed it. The next second, his vision went black—not the black of fainting, but similar to a screen in front of his eyes turning black. Good Heavens, he couldn't see anything!

Just how big was this map?

Worthy of being a Grand Map formed by fusing dozens of planets!

Li Wei widened his eyes and looked for a long time but didn't discover where he was. So he could only silently chant 'shrink', 'zoom out'. After doing this three times, this massive black-screen map finally turned into a square black frame with a side length of one meter.

Then he also successfully found the location of Tyrant William. This Old Geezer had already entered the Ascension Continent at this time. It could be seen that in the lower left corner of the map, there was a skull icon the size of a grain of rice; if not for having good eyesight, he wouldn't even be able to see it.Li Wei locked his gaze here, silently chanting 'zoom' in his heart. In an instant, the map smoothly unfolded and continuously expanded.

Ultimately, the entire map turned into a massive cube with a side length of ten meters, but what was displayed was truly only one corner of the map.

And now, Tyrant William's skull icon was finally very conspicuous. Then, surrounding it, various color blocks formed—purple, gold, blue, white, black, gray—but in reality, it was still a kind of map fog.

Among them, the purple color blocks occupied the largest area, were the most conspicuous, and also the most centrally located. Undoubtedly, this was prepared for players with a Tyrant Start. So, you can also choose the map?

Just as Li Wei was thinking this, as expected, he saw that in just this short while, two more skull icons appeared on the map! Then one more! Good Heavens, Tyrant William and the three major Dukes had all entered the field!

At the same time, some golden tiles were continuously lighting up and extinguishing. Clearly, it was those fifteen Marquis players selecting their maps. Quite interesting. Through choosing the map at the start, try to stay as far away from the Tyrant players as possible to avoid being annihilated in the first wave, right?

Haha, interesting. Originally I thought all the Lords of the Locke Kingdom were friendly forces, but as a result, Good Heavens, a direct reshuffle, starting the battle royale mode!

"Since all three Kingdoms are like this, wouldn't the Neanderthal tribe be very awesome? Because the Neanderthal tribe doesn't seem to need to be broken up. Whatever they were like originally, they are still like that now."

"Could it be... they are playing the role of the Northern Barbarians in the Times of Chaos? Just like the Xiongnu at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Turks at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Da and the Khitan?"

"Tsk tsk, this Quest Difficulty is truly hair-raising! Fortunately, the large-scale invasion of the Neanderthals will only be triggered after ten years."

Li Wei was just thinking this when suddenly the Troubled Times Pioneering Card in his hand flashed with a faint light.

[The original Kingdom Marquis Jiang Xinran, who has a Treacherous Minister Start, has initiated a team-up application to you. Because you once had a very close relationship, and the economies of both sides' Territories were highly bound, and because of the side-choosing behavior you made in the past six months, everyone in the world knows you are Jiang Xinran's lackey. There are even vicious rumors claiming you are her secret lover! You can no longer shake off her influence! Therefore, under the Narrative Interpretation, you MUST join her Faction! You cannot act like a white lotus and claim you are innocent. The development of all things has a cause, and must have an effect!]

[Explanation: The original Kingdom Marquis Jiang Xinran's Codename was Night Owl, but this Codename is the name of a Court Battlemage of the Kingdom of Gurock. Due to the destruction of the Locke Kingdom, her Night Owl Codename has been erased.]

[You have already joined Jiang Xinran's Faction! Your current Faction is the Treacherous Minister Rebel Faction! Your joining has caused the Faction's Reputation to drop by 10. Current Faction Reputation: -50.]

[The other teammates currently in the Faction are respectively: Faction Leader (similar to Master of the House) Jiang Xinran; the former Deputy Chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Weir Province, Lu Ziming with a Cruel Official Start; the former Chief Administrator of the Logistics Department of Weir Province, Black Wolf, but because his Codename was erased, he is now Fred with a Favored Official Start; and the seventh son of the former Duke Will, David with a Favored Official Start.]

[Friendly Reminder: You are all a group of Rebellious Officials and Treacherous Sons, your Reputation is very poor. You need to do something as much as possible to salvage your own Reputation! Reputation is a gold-lettered signboard in the Times of Chaos, perhaps it will have special wondrous uses.]

[Friendly Reminder: While in the Faction, the maps of all members can be shared.]

[Friendly Reminder: Do not harbor delusional thoughts of exiting your Faction, unless you are willing to bear the price of Reputation -50. If even Rebellious Officials and Treacherous Sons cannot tolerate you, one can see how poor your character is! However, when the Faction Leader does something wrong, causing the Faction's Reputation to suffer damage, then you can launch an Impeachment against them and elect a new Faction Leader. If any one Faction member is killed, the remaining Faction members can all initiate a vote to disband the Faction. Or when you become the Faction Leader, you can directly decide to disband the Faction without any loss of Reputation.]

[Friendly Reminder: Jiang Xinran established the Treacherous Minister Rebel Faction. She obtained 500 points of Faction Contribution.]

[Friendly Reminder: You obtained 100 points of Faction Contribution.]

Good Heavens, Reputation had now instead become the darling of the version.

Had the planners of the Nine-Star Council been watching too much Romance of the Three Kingdoms recently?

Li Wei complained inwardly, but also knew that having a good reputation in the Times of Chaos was actually extremely important.

At this time, there was another faint flash of light on the Troubled Times Pioneering Card. It was Night Owl—oh, no, it was Jiang Xinran now. She was sending a message in the name of the Faction Leader.

[Faction Leader Jiang Xinran issued an order: the starting locations of all members in the Faction must select 'follow'. In this way, other Faction members will not be able to choose their starting locations. At that time, all starting locations will be within a radius of five hundred li from Jiang Xinran's starting location. This command consumed 100 points of Faction Contribution.]

Great, even the choice of starting location was saved.

Just directly click 'follow' and gather at P City, right?

Then there was no need to look at the map. Closing the map, Li Wei immediately summoned Second Aunt, Hathaway, Li Yue, Zhao Xuanxuan, Thomas, Javier, Zhao Qingshan, Seth, Paul, Jocelyn, Duan Bowen, Mark, Chekhov, Kidman, Liu Huan, and Hank to come and discuss matters.

These people were all mid-level backbones of the Territory who were willing to stay behind.

Among them, Javier, Seth, Paul, Jocelyn, and Duan Bowen were the remaining five Riverside Knights. Of course, the fact that Xavier, Benjamin, Santiago, and Grant's Riverside Knight titles were stripped meant that he could still promote and confer four more Riverside Knights; the loss wasn't too great.

Zhao Qingshan was a big shot engineer. Previously, despite Nelson and Linus trying variously to recruit him, he had remained unmoved. This point was very good.

As for Chekhov and the other three, they were all former Satyr Casters, and now had all become Second-Tier Casters.

Now that the situation had greatly changed, Li Wei also didn't stand on ceremony, directly sharing the relevant information out. After all, in an era of great change, don't even think about that noble lord routine. Everyone here was from the origin of Rebellious Officials and Treacherous Sons. Exchanging what one had for what one lacked, opening up to each other, and being a bit more frank would actually be better.

"The current situation is like this. We still have eleven hours before entering the Ascension Continent, but Logistics will be extremely important. Because our Territory will still operate normally under the protection of the Nine-Star Council for 100 years, this is very important. Therefore, I've decided: regarding the Territory side, Second Aunt, how about you take charge? When the situation on the Ascension Continent stabilizes, it won't be too late for you to head over."

"Okay, I'll guard the home."

Second Aunt had already calmed down at this time.

Then Li Wei looked at Hathaway again. The latter directly said, "Don't look at me. I've already thrown away my Baron territory. Whoever wants this broken Baron title can have it, I'm just following you! In addition, I've already dismantled my One-Star Mage Tower. You need a Battlemage. When we have a suitable, stable domain, I can establish a Mage Tower within a month."

"Good! Zhao Qingshan, Javier, Seth, Jocelyn, Duan Bowen, Chekhov, and Liu Huan, you guys will go with the army to the Ascension Continent this time. Paul, Kidman, Hank, and Mark will stay behind. At the same time, also leave behind 10 Heavy Cavalry, as well as forty Heavy Armored Infantry. All the second-line garrison Soldiers will also be left behind—"

Speaking up to here, Li Wei couldn't help but pause for a moment. Because this time, those second-line garrison Soldiers who underwent Status Renunciation were the most numerous, actually running away with nearly five hundred people! Front and back, it was equivalent to Li Wei's Territory losing a thousand people! Motherfucker, Tyrant William's move was too ruthless!

However, the underlying foundation of the Blazing Territory wasn't affected. North of the Blazing Main City, there were still tens of thousands of mu of high-quality farmland that could be reclaimed and planted. In addition, there were also high-quality mines that could continue to be mined.

Even for the unloaded Enchanted Armor and Enchanted Weapons, there were already over a thousand sets.

These were all extremely important Times of Chaos Resources! First Provisions, second Ordnance, third Soldiers! To speak the truth, this start was extremely good!

Ultimately, everyone together discussed and finalized the specific personnel composition of the expedition to the Ascension Continent.

Li Yue would command the Blazing Legion. The current total troop strength was 500 people, of which one hundred and fifty were replenished from the second-line reserve Soldiers.

Li Wei's 305 Royal Guard members formed the Guard Legion, personally commanded by him.

The 50 Four-Star Artisans led by Zhao Qingshan, plus the 30 Four-Star Blacksmiths, 10 Four-Star Chefs, and 20 warehouse managers proficient in material storage and categorization led by Zhao Xuanxuan, thereby formed the Logistics Battalion. Zhao Qingshan would be the commander, and Zhao Xuanxuan the vice commander.

Hathaway, along with Chekhov and Liu Huan, formed the Spellcaster Squad.

Thomas would act as the front-row bodyguard for the Spellcaster Squad.

There was no helping it. Although sometimes Thomas was as astute as a Master, those were conclusions he could only reach after long-term, quiet thinking. His reactions were truly too sluggish. Letting him go to the front lines to fight mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare was too inconvenient. Li Wei also didn't need Thomas to act as the front row right now. When it came time to fight important tough battles, it wouldn't be too late to let him take the field.

So throwing him to the Spellcaster Squad instead complemented each other perfectly.

Inspiration + Dulling, an extremely good combination!

There was also the fact that Li Wei planned to upgrade to a Five-Star Farmer in the near future, otherwise he was also a bit worried about being unable to deal with the new situation.

Because the Ascension Continent absolutely counted as a Low-Magic+, or even a Mid-Magic- World!
