War is never a good thing.

But when two groups, either actively or passively enter the "war" form, neither of them will take the initiative to stop until they can no longer bear the cost of war.

"That's because war, as the most extreme form of politics, tends to be a winner-takes-all, and the loser not only loses everything for now, but may even harm future generations."

In Lu Ping'an's vision, war can also be regarded as an act of "investment" or even "gambling" in a sense.

The two sides continue to increase prices, continue to bear costs, and constantly consume their own national strength, manpower and even the future. And the victor can draw nourishment from the corpse of the loser to make up for his losses.

Wars are not without winners, but not every war must have so-called "beneficiaries", and lose-lose is also universal.

The winner is not necessarily the beneficiary, but the loser. Perhaps, this is the most direct way to lose everything in Lu Ping'an's "consciousness", no matter how you look at it, it is a big loss.

After determining that the "soldier" path lacked the necessary components, Lu Ping'an began the final collection journey.

Liu Wai is not the only victim, the missing people in the "war route" in the blood banquet have become the "nutrition" of Lu Ping'an.

The other part is the library's inventory.

The "market operation" during the previous period helped him accumulate a lot of middle and high-level laws, abilities, and knowledge, and Lu Ping'an found what he wanted in it.

"Vampire blood is the currency of life, and sucking blood is the way to plunder the currency of life. Uh, I don't want to make it a blood feast, is there something a little more gentle and elegant? ”

Don't say it, there really is.

"Fanatical Blessing, commonly known as 'Vampire Aura'."

It's not really something of a pure soldier path, but a crossover of "dancer" and "soldier", a special ability of a fanatical war shaman.

She is able to open up a field where warriors who recognize her have the trait of restoring "physical strength" and "injuries" by killing.

"Crazy Lust"

This name, as well as the career path, reminded Lu Ping'an of one of the four sources of the olive branch thrown to him in the first place.

The field involved in this source is weak in combat effectiveness at the low level, so the sense of existence is not strong In the secret realm, Lu Ping'an has already seen the characteristics of high-level dancers incarnating mountains and rivers, and of course he will not feel that it is really weak.

But now, after this characteristic has been digested by Lu Ping'an, it has also become the new core.

It is a relationship of "interacting" with the enemy and establishing "war" and "plunder".

What Lu Ping'an needs is not the part where it draws "blood", but the part of the plug-in that makes connections.

"Children of War, a general-purpose high-level ability in the Soldier realm, a trait that will make you more powerful and persuasive on the battlefield. What the heck? But spiritual intuition reminds that it is it, and there is no way around it. Buy! ”

"Battle flag bearer, make and control a battle flag, and become the brightest target and the most beautiful cub in the audience. What the hell is this, are the general abilities in the field of war so subtle. ”

"Stick to the golden soup and draw the ground as an advanced version of the prison? Yes, it finally works."

Along the way, Lu Ping'an understood the subtleties of the soldier's path.

Most of its abilities are not known, and they belong to the kind that feels useful, but you have no difference and not much. Limiting the battlefield and environment may be powerful, but most of the blessings are subtle things that can't see the actual effect, including but not limited to battlefield sanity, luck, armor blessings, and so on.

And if it is subdivided from the principle level, Lu Ping'an feels more subtle.

"I feel that many soldiers' abilities overlap with other fields, uh, soldiers don't have their own specialized sources?"

Don't say it, if you think about it, it's really not.

A soldier is "death" in a sense, and death is the opposite of the concept of life, which can be seen as a subordinate concept of life in a sense.

And a lot of the soldier's abilities are directly related to madness, the field of war." "War" is a field that only intelligent beings try to contaminate, and it is directly related to "desire".

Naturally, there may not be such a field as warfare, but there must be "individuals who specialize in combat" in nature, that is, the existence of "soldiers", and it seems that the direct connection between the madness of controlling "desires" is also related.

Even, Lu Ping'an saw the professional abilities of conflicts such as "runner", "awakener", "animal trainer" and "gardener" in the field of soldiers.

"War, soldiers, is a man-made concept, and the god of war is also mostly the god of wisdom concepts, it is not the source, but because of its ubiquity, it is still powerful."

War is the goal, not the source.

War is a means, not a result.

War is a feast for the victors.

Underdog? It's the dish at the feast.

"I need this, this, and this."

When Lu Ping'an let go of his hands and feet, half of them borrowed their innate intuition of spiritual thirst for evolution and completeness, and half tried to take the "goal (plundering life)" as the guide, and use logic to choose the components they need.

Eventually, when he got it together to a certain point (wasting a lot of points), he got a hint from the "system" and he took that step.

The rest is the sacrifices and rituals

"Under normal circumstances, sacrifices and sacrifices are dedicated to the gods, and the inauguration ceremony is often a test for the gods, a precondition for borrowing their divine power to guide, what am I doing this ritual for, and who is guiding."

"Do you really think that the Life Bank is worse than those third-rate gods? At least at the ceiling level, it is absolutely trustworthy. ”

The life bank is Lu Ping'an's own thing, it does not play false.

At this moment, it took on the role of the god of war, and took the initiative to guide Lu Ping'an to "complete" his "career".

Perhaps, the reason why the ritual is so similar is because it borrows the mod of the previous inauguration ceremony of the chess lover.

This is a process, a trial of war.

The first time was a trial for a new recruit to become a commander.

This time, it was an ordinary commander who made a leap to become the controller of the war.

A conqueror is the one who masters war. It does not desire war, it only uses war to complete its own conquest, to obtain its own interests and territories.

The big cat didn't talk nonsense, just the concept referred to by the "name" was much higher than the "reaper" or something that Lu Ping'an originally expected.

At the same time, this is the most lacking component of the Life Bank, which will be personally guided to incubate and complete it in this territory.

Lu Ping'an used his own power to link the city and turn it into the realm of "gold coins", and now, when it has become the realm of war, the first sacrifices of the blood feast have been digested cleanly.

Playing with the gold coins, Lu Ping'an dived into the shadows again.

The conqueror is not a war maniac, and he does not need to go to the front line at all times.

He wants victory and results, not just the joy of fighting.

"Let's have some more supplies, the house and real estate can be sold, all exchanged for gold coins, and money will be distributed on the spot to boost morale."

Lu Ping'an's labor army is not only as simple as encouraging morale, but also more "gratitude" for people on the front line, and has also become one of the chess pieces that Lu Ping'an can indirectly control.

"Blockade, now I know I'm in a hurry, want to run? No way. ”

Even at the rule level, it has become a desperate situation at the moment, and it is natural for them to try to escape, but it has reached the current situation, and escaping is also a luxury.

"People from other cities have entered my realm and are counted as my pawns? Oh, the whole battlefield, is it?"

When the declaration of war was issued, the entire battlefield was transformed into an invisible realm of Lu Ping'an.

The clarity of the logos of his own, the enemy, and the neutral side, and the other soldier components of Lu Ping'an, gave him a higher and more ambitious perspective.

He is like a war chess player who has opened God's vision, step by step, forcing the opponent into a corner.

"Ha, general."

Lu Ping'an slowly mobilized the power of the entire city, and gradually turned it into a sacrificial "rule-level" altar.

In the end, all that was left for the opponent was a small piece of white ground in the midst of the heavy encirclement

"Perhaps, this flower of hope will be extraordinarily bright, and perhaps, those two rule-level gold coins will be worth a fortune."
