"Each and every one of your actions will have an impact on the entire campaign. Points aren't obtained by killing more enemies."
As soon as Hören said this, the person who had objected at the start slightly bowed towards Hören and returned to his seat, expressing that he had no more doubts.
"Sir Hören, if we hadn't been charging at the front, wouldn't we have gotten fewer points?"
Hören shook his head.
"This crystal ball's ability is mysterious and unfathomable. I can't understand it, but it definitely can't be wrong. It looks like you still don't understand. This crystal ball doesn't give you points based on killing enemies. These points are based on how much you contributed to the victory of the campaign.
"For example, if you killed one person in the entire campaign, and that person was an ordinary Witch Doctor, you might still get a few hundred thousand points.
"Because that small action might have a huge impact on the entire campaign.
"That ordinary Witch Doctor might have been the disciple of the strongest Witch Doctor of the Raging Flame Beastmen, and he might have been carrying a lot of medicine to treat injuries. But because of his death, he might not have been able to deliver the medicine, and the medicinal ingredients might have been lost. Moreover, the best Witch Doctor of the Raging Flame Beastmen might have been seriously injured and waiting for medicine. The death of that ordinary Witch Doctor might have led to the death of the best Witch Doctor of the Raging Flame Beastmen.
"And at that time, the frontlines might have reached a critical juncture, and the other side's Great Sheikh might have escaped with serious injuries. Their best Witch Doctor died, and the Great Sheikh couldn't treat him. In the end, he died from his injuries.
"And the death of the Great Sheikh might have led to the complete collapse of the Raging Flame Beastmen, leading to the victory of the campaign.
"This process might not have been known during normal times, but with this crystal ball, a small action of yours might directly affect the final victory of the campaign. Then, you might be the true hero that decided the outcome of the campaign.
"Your contribution is the greatest. Although you only killed an ordinary Witch Doctor, it directly overturned the scales and led to the final victory of the campaign.
Therefore, you don't have to kill people to earn contribution points. This kind of thing is absolutely fair, and there can't be any falsification. The bowstring you made will definitely not be buried. "
At this point, Hören had already explained it very clearly. Everyone understood that this was true fairness. It was not a matter of strength that would definitely contribute a lot. At this moment, all the small and medium-sized forces started to get excited.
Coupled with the blood oath just now, even if they suffered a great loss this time, they wouldn't have to worry about the harvest.
At this moment, Hören poured a bucket of cold water on everyone.
"The bet with the Odin Empire is also using this point system."
Suddenly, everyone who had fallen into a temporary state of excitement, as if the fruits of victory were already waiting for them to pluck, changed their expressions.
Odin Empire …
These four people were like a huge mountain pressuring everyone's hearts. Even Joy, Hören, and the Azure Wave Sword Saint didn't have very good expressions.
The Odin Empire occupied the best piece of land in Noscent. The terrain was the flattest, the land was the most fertile, and the resources were the most abundant. Apart from the hinterland, there were many natural strongholds in every direction. While it was convenient to enter and exit, it was also very easy to defend.
The huge number of ruins and the rich relics made the overall strength of the Odin Empire surpass the other kingdoms.
They originally thought that this point system would make everyone's harvest a bit fairer, and with the alliance, no one would be able to find fault with it.
But they had overlooked the biggest problem, and that was that the fruits of victory had yet to be plucked.
It could even be said that the premise of all these discussions and the alliance was to pluck the fruits of victory, to subdue the Raging Flame Beastmen and win the bet against the Odin Empire. Only then would everything have meaning.
If they couldn't defeat the Raging Flame Beastmen, if they couldn't win the bet against the Odin Empire, then everything would be for naught.
This battle was very fair, and no one had been able to find fault with it before, but now, it was the start of despair brewing.
In this kind of absolutely fair competition, could they still win against the Odin Empire?
The enemies this time weren't just the Raging Flame Beastmen, who had a huge chance of being defeated, but there was also the Odin Empire.
After all, the current situation was that the Raging Flame Beastmen's defeat was already a foregone conclusion. No one could say for sure what would happen next, and who knew if the Raging Flame Beastmen still had some trump card they hadn't used?
Who knew if the general attack would go smoothly, and it might even fail? There was a decent chance that the Raging Flame Beastmen would defeat them.
More importantly, with this point system, the threat of the Odin Empire had become even greater. Their overall strength was a bit stronger, and they would inevitably be able to snatch more points.
Moreover, although a few first-rate forces of the Odin Kingdom didn't have the time to come to the Raging Flame Plane, there were still a few famous powerhouses that came to participate in this general attack.
The Andalusia Kingdom would have to face enemies on one side and competitors on the other, and the pressure would be huge.
The conference room became somewhat depressing, and it didn't take long for the things that needed to be discussed to be finished. Everyone impatiently left to go back and prepare for the expedition.
Although Lin Yun hadn't expected that crystal ball to appear, he had more or less expected it to be like this.
There wasn't enough temptation to make that group of greedy rats work, but there was a lot of danger. How could that be possible?
But with the point system of the crystal ball, they could save a lot of trouble, and when the time came, they could obtain benefits based on their contributions.
Lin Yun represented the Merlin Family, and as the Commander of the Merlin Family, he was naturally qualified to sit at the center of the round table, representing one of the seven major forces.
Now that the recollection was over, almost everyone hurriedly left. Star Sage Joy, who hadn't said a word until now, suddenly moved his lips and a wisp of mana wrapped around an aged but gentle voice transmitted to Lin Yun 'ears.
"Sir Mafa, please wait a moment."
Lin Yun 'expression changed, and he saw Hören also smiling and nodding.
'What are they looking for me for? Could it be that the Cloud Tower and the Black Tower are already cooperating? '
Lin Yun was puzzled, but he didn't immediately leave. Instead, he followed Joy and Hören to another small conference room.
Just as they sat down, Joy sighed as he looked at Lin Yun.
"Good day, Sir Mafa. It's only been a year since we last met …"
Lin Yun nodded with a smile. He was quite respectful towards Joy. This was a true mage, a respectable scholar. If not for Joy spending a lot of time trying to figure out the formula, he might have already advanced to the Heaven Rank.
Ever since Lin Yun dealt with the formula, Jouyi's aura had clearly grown by leaps and bounds. If nothing unexpected happened, advancing to the Heaven Rank was already a foregone conclusion.
"Good day, Sir Joy. Long time no see, your magic has clearly improved a lot. It looks like advancing to the Heaven Rank is just around the corner."
Lin Yun smiled as he replied.
At this time, Joy smiled as he said to Hören, "I wasn't wrong, right?
"I wasn't wrong, right? Like I said, we might have to address him as' Sir 'the next time we see him."
Hören helplessly shrugged and bitterly smiled.
"Yes, I only thought that it was possible, but who would have thought that Sir Mafa's progress would actually reach such a level. Moreover, I'm afraid that only you, me, and the Azure Wave Sword Saint … Oh, and that old fox Prophet Deloy could see that Mafa's strength isn't inferior to ours."
Joy sighed as he looked at Lin Yun.
"Yes, I'm afraid not many people noticed that Sir Hören knocked on the table twice. That was a spell called Intimidate. That spell came from the Chromatic Dragons and was modified by humans into a relatively unpopular spell.
"Very few people understand that the closer the distance, the better the effect. Moreover, the power of the spell will rapidly weaken as the distance increases. The spell's power is at its peak within five meters.
"At that distance, only people with a small difference in strength would be unaffected. Apart from me and the Azure Wave Sword Saint, you were the only one at the table that wasn't affected.
"Sir Mafa, you were careless and accidentally exposed your strength."
Joy cheerfully explained. A flash of understanding appeared on Lin Yun 'face, but he only chuckled and didn't deny it.
There were countless spells in the world, and there were too many spells that didn't have much help in battle. Although the Magic Array could instantly deduce the effect of that spell, Lin Yun didn't make any further deductions. After all, it wasn't necessary.
Harren's expression was the most emotional.
"Sir Mafa, I'm already regretting it. I was wrong, I'm very regretful. I should have brought you back to the Black Tower.
"You are too talented. No, it's not just that you are too talented. I've seen many talented people, but none of them advanced as fast as you.
"There are no shortcuts on the path of a mage. You have to accumulate mana, runes, knowledge, and fuse Magic Conducting Runes. The fastest person I've ever seen advanced to the Archmage realm in 63 years.
"But you used two years? Three years?
"Most importantly, I'm sure that you didn't take a shortcut. Your foundation is more solid than anyone else's, it's as stable as a mountain range. This is what I regret the most.
"If I had been more decisive, I would have tied you up and brought you to the Black Tower. I would have given you everything you needed as long as you joined the Black Tower.
"Of course, it's fine now. If you joined the Black Tower, the position of Chairman would be yours, and I'd be your assistant …"
