Hence, after hearing Elvis' words, everyone fell silent and focused their attention on Lin Li. It seemed that at this moment, Lin Li had already become their leader in their hearts. There was no longer a trace of doubt in everyone's eyes, and there was only a faint sense of conviction.
Yes, they were convinced! The Breezy Plains was a chaotic place that believed in the supremacy of strength. Besides, everyone now knew how terrifying a true Sanctuary powerhouse was, and how insignificant they were in front of a true Sanctuary powerhouse. Although they had yet to see Lin Li attack, they would not choose to go against a Sanctuary powerhouse as long as they were sane.
Lin Li noticed the change in everyone's attitude, but he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he said unhurriedly, "Everyone, I think you've already seen the battle situation over there very clearly. I can tell you in advance that the existence sealed under Cage Island is far stronger than all of us. However, be it for the sake of the civilians of the Breezy Plains or for the sake of our respective forces, we can't ignore this matter. Hence, I hope that you can give it your all next. If you still hold back during the battle, I'm afraid you won't be the only one who will be out of luck. "
Regardless of whether they were pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses like Elvis or other peak Legendary-realm powerhouses, Lin Li could of course see their strength clearly. However, almost all of the forces that they belonged to were ancient forces that had been passed down for thousands of years. No one would believe that they didn't have any trump cards.
However, Lin Li was all too clear about their temperament. They were all sly and cunning, and they all hoped that others would contribute while they slacked off. Hence, Lin Li warned them as soon as he came up not to have any hopes of getting lucky. He also told them not to keep their trump cards for the last time, and to use all their strength as soon as they came up.
In fact, Lin Li did that not only for himself, but also for many people who couldn't see the situation clearly and kept their trump cards in their hands. In the end, they would never have the chance to use them again. Only when the two parties were evenly matched would the trump cards be of the greatest use. However, in the face of absolute suppression, they would be courting death if they still kept their trump cards.
Besides, while speaking to the crowd, Lin Li flipped his hand and took out an ordinary-looking ring from the Ring of Endless Storm. These rings were made entirely of purple gold, and the surface of the rings was inlaid with a gray gemstone. The gemstone was faintly covered with complex and tiny patterns. Such a ring could be called a Magic Net Ring, and was a must-have magical accessory for the mages of the Tower of Dusk. At the same time, it was also one of the necessary conditions for the mages to form the Magic Net Array.
Of course, Lin Li did not take out the Magic Net Rings because he wanted them to form a Magic Net Array. Firstly, the Net Array was a secret of the Tower of Dusk, and Lin Li was not foolish enough to teach it to others. Secondly, the Magic Net Array couldn't be used immediately with the Magic Net Ring. It required a long period of training.
However, the Weave Ring could connect the spiritual force of all wearers into a huge spiritual network, allowing everyone in the network to quickly transmit information to each other. With the spiritual network formed by the Magic Net Ring, it could allow those who had never cooperated before to reach a high level of cooperation in battle. Perhaps they might not be very tacit, but at least they wouldn't hold each other back. It was just like sticking a pile of loose sand together with glue.
"Everyone has one of these rings. I believe that at your level, you should be able to quickly master how to use it." Lin Li said while handing the rings to Elvis, who was beside him, and getting him to distribute them to everyone.
At first, everyone was a little puzzled. The inconspicuous ring didn't seem to have much mana waves, and it was hard to imagine what use it would have in battle. However, when they put the rings on and felt the power of the rings according to Lin Li's instructions, all of them were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
The Magic Net Ring was of no use to an individual at all, but it was a priceless treasure for a team! Among the people present, almost no one was alone except for Cardson, who was dedicated to being a chef. Hence, they immediately understood the value of the ring.
Although they rarely asked about the affairs of their respective forces, who wouldn't want their own forces to develop again? Hence, after figuring out the function and value of the Magic Net Ring, the old men immediately looked at Lin Li with unconcealable fervor in their eyes.
"We'll talk about the ring in the future. While familiarizing yourself with how to use it, you can also think about it. We can't take such a huge risk for the Gilded Kingdom this time." Although in some ways, the Gilded Kingdom could be considered to have helped the Breezy Plains this time, Lin Li didn't want to let them off just like that.
To the people of the Breezy Plains, the surprises came one after another. First of all, there was the matter of the ring. Lin Li didn't tell them not to covet the ring, and instead said that they would talk about the ring in the future. That meant that they could talk about the ring. They could completely imagine that if they were to equip the team of their own forces with the Magic Net Ring, there would definitely be a drastic change in the combat power of the entire team, even though everyone's strength would not be increased.
That was not an exaggeration at all. Such a small ring could allow the team to reach a very high level of tacit understanding in a very short period of time. For a team, individual strength played a very small role. What was truly important was the tacit understanding and teamwork.
Of course, Lin Li knew what they were thinking, but he didn't take it to heart that they wanted to use the Magic Net Ring to improve the strength of the team. Although the Magic Net Ring was magical, it could only truly exert its magical power with a battle formation like the Magic Net Array. Other battle formations could only increase tacit understanding.
Lin Li was even less worried about others replicating the Magic Net Ring. Famous jewelers in Anril were few and far between, not to mention a jeweler who had created such masterpieces. To put it bluntly, even if Lin Li took out all the detailed steps of making the Magic Net Ring for others to study, probably no one in the entire Anril would be able to replicate it.
Of course, Lin Li did that not because he wanted to find another source of income for the Tower of Dusk, but because he really wanted to increase the strength of these forces. Only by increasing their strength would they not be so cowardly when facing the Gilded Kingdom. When the Tower of Dusk really got into a conflict with the Gilded Kingdom in the future, they would not be a burden to the Tower of Dusk. In addition, it was so that they could also play a role in the disaster that Geresco had predicted in the future.
Lin Li was not worried at all if these forces would turn against the Tower of Dusk after obtaining the Magic Net Ring. Of course, Lin Li was very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the things he had made. If any force really thought that they would have the strength to challenge the Tower of Dusk after obtaining the Magic Net Ring, they would definitely pay a heavy price for it.
Lin Li's words reassured everyone, and they all understood the meaning behind it. They knew that it was possible for their own forces to obtain and equip the ring. Lin Li's last sentence also made them feel excited. Clearly, he wanted them to go and discuss the conditions of assistance with the Gilded Kingdom.
Initially, when they came to assist the Gilded Kingdom, they had already thought about how to get the benefits they wanted from the Gilded Kingdom. However, Lin Li's attitude later on made them seem a little hesitant, and they didn't know if they should go and discuss the conditions with the Gilded Kingdom again. Now that Lin Li had already nodded, they naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony with the Gilded Kingdom. While thinking about the usage of the Magic Net Ring, they also discussed with each other how to extort a huge sum of money from the Gilded Kingdom.
Besides, they also applied what they had learned on the spot. After mastering the usage of the Magic Net Ring, they actually began discussing through the mental network formed by the ring. In the end, the atmosphere seemed a little strange, and the group of old guys were exchanging glances, giving those who saw them goosebumps.
At this moment, Cantory looked at the situation on Cage Island, and then at the discussion between Lin Li and the others. He wanted to urge them to hurry up several times, but he held himself back. With his intelligence and wisdom, he naturally thought that the group of helpers he had found was definitely not just discussing the assistance plan, but also taking the opportunity to extort him.
However, so what if he thought of it? No matter how displeased Cantory was, he dared not show the slightest bit of his displeasure. Of course, he would remember it. Anyway, as long as he could get through this successfully, he would have a chance to settle scores with the forces of the Breezy Plains in the future.
Cantory didn't know how long he had waited, but he knew that he felt that his patience was about to run out several times. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails pierced into his palms, but he didn't feel it at all. When he looked back for the umpteenth time, he finally saw the young president of the Tower of Dusk walking towards him with the others. At this moment, he was so agitated that he was almost tearing up. The wait was simply too torturous.
However, just like what Cantory had thought before, the first thing those people talked about when they came to him was not any assistance plan. Instead, they were like greedy vampires who stated their conditions without any scruples.
This was extortion, blatant extortion! Cantory was so infuriated that he was about to explode. Although he had long known that the people of the Breezy Plains were shameless, he had never thought that they would be this shameless.
Among them, the one who offered the lowest price also asked for 10 Legendary magical crystals as a reward. However, the Legendary magical crystals of the Gilded Kingdom were not planted, and were obtained by fighting and killing sea beasts. There were also people who asked for the Heart of the Ocean, a specialty of the Gilded Kingdom. However, specialty did not mean high yield. It just meant that it was a specialty that could not be found elsewhere. Even in the Gilded Kingdom, the Heart of the Ocean was definitely an extremely valuable magical gem.
However, facing the current situation, Cantory couldn't say no. If it had been somewhere else, such as Rafa City, Cantory might have been able to seriously discuss those conditions with them. However, Elder Zumar and the others who were in urgent need of assistance were not far away now, and Cantory wasn't in the mood to talk to them.
Just you wait, I'll make you spit out everything you've eaten! Cantory was secretly resentful, but he didn't show it on his face. He didn't even bother with those conditions, and simply agreed to them with a bitter expression.
Soon, the people of the Breezy Plains reached various agreements with Cantory. They were not worried that the Gilded Kingdom would go back on their word. After all, although their demands were harsh, the Gilded Kingdom could definitely afford them. If the Gilded Kingdom dared to go back on their word, it would be a huge blow to the image of the Gilded Kingdom, and they would no longer be able to stay in Anril in the future.
Of course, Lin Li did not miss such an opportunity. Although the Tower of Dusk could be considered rich and overbearing now, no one would mind getting more benefits. Besides, as a kingdom of the sea, the Gilded Kingdom had plenty of marine resources that were rare on land.
Just like that, Cantory suppressed his anger, and signed the contracts in humiliation. In the end, he turned to look at Lin Li again, took a deep breath, and said, "President Felic, can you guys attack now?"
Lin Li and the others put away the contracts, and without even looking at Cantory, they looked in the direction of Cage Island. He calmly said, "Okay, everyone, let's get started according to my previous arrangements."
Lin Li did not include Cantory in the operation. Although his strength was not bad, he was, after all, an outsider who was not trusted by the people of the Breezy Plains. Instead of letting him be an unstable factor in the team, Lin Li felt that he might as well let him watch from the side. That was one of the benefits of signing so many contracts.
With Lin Li's order, Elvis and the other six pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses immediately flew up with their peak Legendary powerhouses, and split into six teams to pounce in the direction of Cage Island. Due to the fact that the mental network of the Magic Net Ring connected their mental strength, everyone's mental strength seemed to have been greatly enhanced, and the terrifying pressure of a true Sanctuary powerhouse had also been minimized.
