Looking at the backs of several players leaving, Richard looked playful.

Guilds as opponents, it's really ...... Interesting.

With a base of more than 10 billion players, a guild of only 5,000 people seems inconspicuous.

In Blue Star, a game with only three to five million people has the potential to create a guild of more than 100,000 people.

And the guilds of three to five thousand people are even more numerous, and any popular game can make a big one.

But this is the Glorious Age, a plane so vast that it is difficult for people to explore the end of their lives.

Although the number of players is large, it is too widely dispersed.

In addition, teleportation magic is only available in a very small number of large indigenous cities, and the use value is expensive, which leads to the slow flow of communication between players.

Against this backdrop, a regional, city-state, tribal, and faith-based dispersal force was formed.

In addition, there is a large proportion of players who have taken refuge with the aborigines.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to organize a guild on a large scale.

After more than half a year of big waves, the guild that can still gather thousands of lord players is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

As for the guilds that are more numerous, but most of them are players who have lost their territory...... Although there are a lot of them, their strength is vulnerable.

Players who own territories and casual players who lose territories are no longer at the same level of life.

The battle between the player and the aborigines also speaks for itself.

"Hope...... Can you surprise me a little? ”

Richard took a deep breath, then retracted his thoughts and looked back at the map on his desk.

The gaze condenses in an inconspicuous area.

The Obelisk, knowing the whereabouts of this mysterious structure that was highlighted by the system, increased its determination to occupy the El Plane a little more.

As long as you help Princess El to recapture the Kingdom of El, you can directly use the power of the Kingdom of El to attack the Obelisk at that time.

Borrowing a knife to slaughter a cow and borrowing a chicken to lay eggs can undoubtedly minimize your own efforts.

But before that, he needs to use all means to win this war.

It was the first time he had commanded such a huge war in such a long time as he had come to Glorious Age.

He now has nearly 9 legions in his hands, and the number of enemy troops exceeds 40 legions.

If you add the Flame Guild, the number may be even more exaggerated.

The larger the war, the higher the requirements for the commander's ability.

Similarly, in a war of this level, it is already very difficult for a super-level force to influence the trend of the battlefield.

And the other party will inevitably have corresponding countermeasures, and it is unrealistic to want to rely on a few heroes to win.

Unless he has three demigods or legends in his hands.

On the evening of January 25th, Richard arrived in the Lion City five hours after his arrival.

The soldiers defending the city suddenly found that at the end of the line of sight, a huge opening suddenly opened in the sky.

In their astonished gaze, the opening was like a waterfall, and it was like a waterfall~ Countless yellow sand surged down and hit the ground fiercely.

Cover all vegetation that has been solidified by frost and snow.

In less than half an hour, a huge sand dune tens of meters high was piled up.

After condensing to a certain boundary, the yellow sand suddenly began to move.

Like the waves after the high tide, they rush to the Lion City.

Everywhere they went, all the potholes and vegetation were swallowed up, and they looked quite impactful.

The defending army immediately began to commotion, and it was only in the shouting and angry shouting of the rear overseers that it was barely quiet.

Then, under their nervous gaze, the rolling yellow sand surged in waves.

Directly under the walls of Lion City.

Then the sand and gravel dispersed, surrounding the Lion City like a lake, and the grass was submerged and buried.

This action lasted for the full afternoon of January 26th.

When the crack in the sky gradually healed, the yellow sand waterfall disappeared without a trace.

And at this moment, what is reflected in the eyes of the soldiers defending the city is the endless yellow sand outside the lion city.

It seems that overnight, the Lion City has become a desert city.

Later, they saw a rather shocking scene, the yellow sand began to rise out of thin air, rising seven or eight meters high.

It was as if someone had forcibly held up the yellow sand in the ground with a pillar.

Fortunately, there is no such change in the sand and gravel within 100 meters of the city wall, otherwise the 40-meter-high city wall would have become twenty or thirty meters.

After all this was done, Kacha~ A sound that resounded through the world exploded.

The soldiers on the city wall subconsciously turned their heads to look, only to see a spatial gate open in the north of the Lion City.

A thick smell of blood escaped from it, and the choking smell made people feel like they had come to the abyssal purgatory.

Outsiders wanted to see what that spatial rift was, but the scarlet mist obscured the sight again, adding endless mystery to all of this.

And the faint roar and shouting from the mist was particularly infiltrating.

It seems that behind the spatial rift, there is a place of extreme evil. Or to the abyss......

After Richard took over the Lion City, he began to gradually lay out a new defense system at his pace.

Just as he was sharpening his knife and preparing for battle, a sudden prompt interrupted his thoughts.

"Ding~ Lord - Saint of Light, lead the army to capture the first obelisk (small) and get all the benefits *2, and an additional reward for a strange thing."

"In order to record the wonderful moments, when exploring the Alien Plane, all the lords can enter the live broadcast room to start the live broadcast."

Someone captured the obelisk?

Richard looked at the system prompt and frowned slightly.

And that's not the point, the point is ...... The system actually gives an additional reward to players who capture the obelisk.

It was a bit unexpected.

He doesn't feel anything about the live broadcast, this thing is just a novelty......

He still values the obelisk more, and judging from the system prompts, the obelisk seems to be more important than he expected.

——

El Wangdu.

The main hall of the royal palace.

Dressed in a blood-colored cloak and wearing a red crown on his head, the Angry Blood Grand Duke now sits high on a throne studded with various colored gems.

He held a heavy sword in his right hand, and gently wiped it with a white rag in his left hand.

The blade is not sharp, and there are large and small notches on it, which does not seem to be a sword, but from a distance, it gives people a fierce and violent atmosphere.

It was as if it had just been pulled out of a corpse.

The majestic face of the Grand Duke of Angry Blood was full of indescribable seriousness, as if he was worshipping his holy relics.

Every time I wiped it, it made the long sword brighter, and the deep coldness deepened by a point.

In front of the throne, more than a dozen figures who were also filled with a fierce aura silently watched each other's movements.

In the air, there was only the slight grinding sound of a rag brushing against the blade of the sword.

After a moment, the Grand Duke of Angry Blood gently lifted the white rag in his hand, and the maid on the side immediately stepped forward to take it with both hands, retreated and bowed away.

The Grand Duke of Angry Blood raised the sword in front of his eyes and looked at it slowly.

The white sword body reflected his face.

"Do you know the news from the Lion City spies?"

The heroes below shook their heads in unison.

The Grand Duke of Angry Blood slowly pressed his sword against the ground, his wrist resting on the hilt, his sharp gaze staring at the crowd.

"Lion City is supported by the forces of the main plane."

"And the one who supports the remnants of the royal family of El is still one—the Lord of Divine Grace."

When these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room immediately became a little delicate.

Charismatic Lord, do you have the audacity to oppose them?

During this time, they had learned a lot of news about the Grace Lords from the Flame Guild.

Although I don't know much about the outside world, I don't know much about it.

The first gray-haired hero stood up and said in a loud voice.

"Your Majesty, the power of the Grace Lord is not something to worry about...... If you are not at ease, please let me go to the command. ”

The tone was full of eagerness, and it was a great achievement to exterminate the last remnants of the royal family of Eyre.

The Grand Duke of Angry Blood frowned slightly.

"I'm not worried about just a few Grace Lords...... Rather, behind the other party, whether there is a stronger force standing. ”

"What is known is that Lion City already has a transcendental-level centaur as reinforcements."

"And that charismatic lord doesn't know what means to use, covering the area around the Lion City with yellow sand, and at the same time there is a strong army stationed there."

"This is not the power of the Charismatic Lords as we know them."

These words made everyone's faces a little solemn.

Extraordinary?

That remnant of the royal family has a transcendent backer?!

The white-haired hero said softly.

"Your Majesty, why don't you just ask those Divine Grace Lords of the Flame Guild?"

Grand Duke of Angry Blood nodded.

"I've called them......"

Before the words could be spoken, a soldier walked quickly into the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the Flame Guild asks to see you."

"Xuan."

The order was given, and the other party immediately turned to leave, and a moment later a noisy footsteps sounded.

More than a dozen figures dressed differently and with a temperament that was clearly different from the heroes in the hall stepped inside.

"Your Majesty, greetings from the members of the Flame Guild."

The Grand Duke of Angry Blood waved his hand, and after they got up, he looked at a few people and said nonchalantly.

"You should know how important this war is to the kingdom of El."

"I wonder how many troops the Flame Guild is going to send into battle this time?"

The Flame Guild was led by a middle-aged man in his early forties wearing a fiery red priest's robes.

There was a hot breath surging from the other party.

The mark of a flame on his forehead looked like it was alive, a symbol unique to the priest of the god of fire.

"Back to Your Majesty, although the Flame Guild cannot serve as the main force on the battlefield, in order to do its part, it has prepared 10 legions."

"If you need to, you can send another 20 legions."

The Flame Guild implements a highly unified policy, and the military of all members can be mobilized by the guild leader.

Territory management is also carried out by the guild.

Doing so allowed for a high concentration of power, allowing the Flame Guild to gather large armies while still weak.

This policy is also the main reason why the Flame Guild has grown into a top-level guild in a short period of time.

These words made the Angry Blood Grand Duke look at him more.

The weak are not qualified to negotiate conditions in front of him.

And this guild organization, which gathered many Divine Grace Lords, was barely qualified to speak in front of him.

"Very well, let your army assemble in the royal capital...... When the armies are gathered, I will open the doors of space and transport them outside the Lion City. ”

"Those who rebel will taste despair."

The middle-aged priest player smiled and nodded.

"Your Majesty, this is a wise decision."

The Angry Blood Grand Duke raised the heavy sword in his hand again and carefully examined the gap on it.

"One more thing......"

"Speak, please."

"My spies in the Lion City have informed me that the remnants of the royal family of El have crossed paths with the charismatic lords of the main plane, and that they have strong support from each other."

As he spoke, he blew lightly on the blade.

Hum~ A shrill sound like a hollow steel pipe rubbing against each other suddenly exploded.

Everyone frowned, and their hearts were a little flustered.

"I need to know what kind of force is standing behind that player...... Can you hear clearly? ”

The middle-aged priest player forcibly suppressed the discomfort and said solemnly.

"Since the other party has the confidence to oppose you, there must be a certain origin."

"The Flame Guild has a certain influence among the top guilds of the Grace Lord, you only need to tell me the name of the other party or the corresponding characteristics of the force, and we can find out."

The tone was with a strong sense of confidence.

The Grand Duke of Angry Blood raised his eyebrows, his gaze left the blade of his sword, and he looked at the other party calmly.

"You're so confident......"

After a pause, he continued.

"According to the secret agent, the forces of the main plane sent a transcendental-level centaur to take charge of the royal family in order to help the remnants of the royal family."

"And interestingly, it's not the transcendent centaur who controls this force, it's the ...... Charismatic Lord. ”

"The spy said clearly, he saw with his own eyes that in front of everyone, that transcendent, called it - master."

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

More than a dozen people from the Flame Guild below widened their eyes and looked at the Angry Blood Grand Duke in disbelief.

Extraordinary, calling the player ...... Master?

Is this a joke?

How can it be!!

"Your Majesty, is this news true?"

The middle-aged priest player felt that something was wrong after asking, and immediately added a sentence.

"It's not that we suspect you, it's that the news is shocking...... The current general level of the Divine Grace Lord is around level 10~13, and only the most elite top characters have barely crossed the threshold of level 15. ”

"It's almost impossible to subdue Chao Fan as a subordinate."

What level of existence is transcendental? How is it possible to become a subordinate of the player, no, call it the master, that's a slave...... It's even more ridiculous.

The face of the Grand Duke of Angry Blood could not tell joy or sadness, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"To get the word across, the spy ...... sacrificed. ”

"This is the last spy I have set up in Lion City, if it weren't for the conclusive news, he wouldn't expose himself and give up his life to spread the word."

His tone suddenly became cold.

"I naturally know that it is impossible for a charismatic lord to enslave the transcendent, so I deduce that there must be a powerful force standing behind the other party."

Install the latest version. 】

"Only by joining a certain force can you dominate powerful subordinates when you are weak."

"The royal family is a prime example."

"That transcendental, obviously a domestic slave type, that charismatic lord, must have a certain status in his power before he can be called his master."

"Now, you only need to tell me where the other party's forces are in the main plane, and how much power is still hidden."

When these words were spoken, the people of the Flame Guild breathed a sigh of relief.

I see.

They say that it is outrageous for a player to be called the master by the transcendent.

After the middle-aged priest player stabilized his mind, he said softly.

"Your Majesty, can you tell me more details about that Charismatic Lord? The name of the guild, or his own name. ”

The Angry Blood Grand Duke said slowly.

"When the other party arrives in the Lion City, the remnants of the royal family of El salute him, and call him Richard."

Richard??

After thinking hard, several people glanced at each other, and they all saw that each other's faces were blank.

Among the top players, there is no such name.

Is this a new upstart?

There are so many players that it's not uncommon to see people you've never heard of suddenly become top players on a large base.

It's not surprising that I haven't heard of it, but it's quite difficult for such people to find out the information, and it seems that it will take a little more time.

"Your Majesty, we haven't heard of this name, please give us a little time to investigate."

Grand Duke of Angry Blood nodded.

As they were about to retreat, he seemed to remember something and interrupted them.

"The remnants of the royal family of El seem to have asked the Charismatic Lord for his name on that mysterious artifact that you can trade for."

"Well...... The other party seems to be called ...... Qingqiu. ”

When the words fell, the few people who were about to leave trembled, raised their heads reluctantly, and looked at the angry blood Grand Duke with an unbelievable shock.

"Green, green hill ?!!"

The Priest player said in a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty, you, you are not mistaken?!!"

"The other party, it's really called Qingqiu?!!"

Hearing this, the Angry Blood Grand Duke also sensed that something was wrong, and his eyes condensed slightly.

"That's right, it's called Qingqiu, what's wrong?"

The Priest player said in a hoarse voice with an extremely strange expression.

"If the other party is Qingqiu, that transcendent...... Maybe it's really the other party's...... Servant. ”
