The players of the Dawn Mercenary Team did not leave the team en masse.
Only a few hundred hot-tempered and impatient players chose to leave. They wanted to fight for the freedom of the Iron Nation.
The City of Dawn was the reason why the players did not start a civil war!
In the eyes of the players, William was a compassionate Half-Elf Lord.
There were no slaves in the City of Dawn. The commoners did not have to worry about food and clothing. Their happiness index was much higher than that of the two Human nations.
This meant that William was a good Lord. They were now mercenaries. There was no need to leave the Dawn Mercenary Team for the sake of the aristocratic system of the Black Lava Nation. It was not worth it.
The Iron Nation claimed that it was for freedom.
But out of the hundreds of thousands of slaves in the Iron Nation, only twenty to thirty thousand were pardoned and became commoners.
The players were not fools.
Dark Feather Huixin, a retired professional player, had posted a discussion post.
"Why did an old King who had adapted to the aristocratic system suddenly sing for freedom?"
The content of the post was valuable.
It felt like a conspiracy.
Dark Feather Huixin clearly stated that the old King was just a puppet. Otherwise, there would not have been such a drastic change.
Why did he not pardon all the slaves?
He used various crimes to control the slaves and make them do hard labor. Did he think that everyone was a fool?
Dark Feather Huixin also said the most important sentence. "Freedom! It is often a false flag of those in power. Look at history. There are countless conspirators who used the Horn of Freedom to start a war. "
The players of the City of Dawn and the Black Lava Nation were very supportive.
But the players of the Iron Nation said that even if there was a conspiracy, what could they do?
They had seen the illustration of the open beta. There was someone controlling the Iron Throne.
Fighting for freedom and changing the disgusting aristocratic system was done with good intentions. There was nothing wrong with it.
Of course, it was inevitable that people would investigate this.
Some players even dug out the hidden organization of the 'Freedom Alliance'. It seemed that they had spread throughout the entire Iron Nation.
For a moment.
The voices of the players of the Iron Nation became louder and louder. They even believed that the leader of the hidden organization was the ruthless man behind the throne.
The discussion on the forum was leaning towards the Iron Nation. More and more new players joined the Iron Nation.
There were hundreds of thousands of players fighting for the Iron Nation. Without the interference of other missions, there would be eighty to ninety thousand players fighting for the Iron Nation.
As time passed, the number would increase.
…
William was invited to the front line war conference room.
Pushing open the curtain, he only saw three people.
Rampaging Dragon was not sitting in the main seat. Instead, he was standing beside another young man.
He was no longer the commander of the army. Although it wasn't a good idea to change the commander at the last minute, he was still the commander of the army.
However, Violent Dragon was more skilled in charging battles. Back then, the Battle of the Rhine River was entrusted to him because he was familiar with the borders, and the battle environment was not complicated. Of course, this was not a problem.
Now that there was a war going on in the entire nation, the old fellows from the Black Lava Dukedom would naturally appear.
Marquis Salz was the father-in-law of King Nedrick.
This was an old man with a Master Bloodline. He was 126 years old, and his life had reached the end of its tether.
Due to the fact that he had spent most of his early life in war, he had suffered countless internal injuries of various sizes, causing him to be stuck at the Intermediate level.
As for him, although he had reached Level 79, he hadn't broken through to the Advanced level. At most, he had gained some attributes and a bloodline boost.
However, in his previous life, Marquis Salz single-handedly dragged the Black Lava Nation out for 11 months and 13 days!
The difficulty was self-evident.
However, William did not have much confidence in this old fellow who was good at defending but not good at attacking.
Because the Black Lava Nation had been getting beaten up for hundreds of years …
Now that the Black Lava Nation had the upper hand in the short term, it was difficult for them to attack. They preferred to be beaten up passively. Otherwise, they would not have immediately built a wall …
"It seems like I'm advancing step by step, but if I can't defeat the Iron Nation in a year … No, no, no. If I can't defeat the Iron Nation in a short period of time, I'll suffer a huge loss. If this drags on, when the Darkness invasion arrives, everyone will be finished. "
William wanted to shorten the duration of the war and seize the time to develop. Otherwise, if the City of Dawn relied on its geographical advantage and did not have enough people to defend, it would not be able to withstand the final attack of the Darkness invasion.
Then, he glanced at another young man who was in his twenties.
He was the newly promoted Earl of the Black Lava Nation, Diablo, who had a Legendary bloodline.
He was a level 65 warrior and had two Legendary hidden occupations.
But this was not the most important thing.
His nickname was the War Gang Leader …
While William was sizing them up, they were also looking at the young Lord of the City of Dawn.
They attached great importance to this powerful gnome that controlled a large force behind her.
Marquis Salz smiled at William politely and said, "Since the leader of the City of Dawn is here, let's begin the meeting."
"Marquis Salz, do you intend to attack?" William went straight to the point.
Salz's expression did not change, but he felt a stabbing pain in his heart. In the southeastern region, besides the City of Dawn, which had the geographical advantage, the Iron Nation's Rhine City also had the geographical advantage. Only the three fortresses of the three nations could be attacked.
They could not go around the fortresses in front of them. If they wanted to attack the fortresses, they could only rely on their own strength. There was no shortcut.
More importantly, the Iron Nation had a lot of legions …
Even though they had lost four legions in the Dragon-slaying battle and the Rhine River battle, they still had 27 regular legions.
In addition to the mercenaries and chosen ones, they had 160,000 to 170,000 soldiers.
The total military strength of the Black Lava Dukedom was forty to fifty thousand less than the enemy!
The Black Lava Nation did not have the advantage in terms of numbers. They wanted to attack, but they were powerless.
But the King of the Black Lava Nation was ambitious. As his father-in-law, Salz could not think of a way to defend the Rhine Bridge.
Salz's original plan was to delay the war for a year. Then, according to the rules of the empire, the Black Lava Nation would have a 30-year truce!
Of course, Salz was not helpless. Since the King did not want to tolerate it, he could only fight.
Marquis Salz pointed at the nearest military fortress and said, "The central military fortress has three legions and 20,000 chosen ones. It's easy to defend and hard to attack. If we dare to attack, the other two fortresses will send reinforcements.
"But I'm not helpless.
For this war, the Black Lava Nation had prepared a total of 1300 catapults. I would mobilize 300 catapults every day and night. Regardless of how many people they would kill, as long as they could protect these catapults, they would continue to attack for seven days.
"At the same time, the other two fortresses need to be attacked.
"When the enemy is exhausted, we'll attack through the night and kill our way into the central fortress."
William sighed in his heart. This old man was really stable, even more stable than him …
He even knew what Salz was going to say next.
For example, Salz might pat William's shoulder and say, "Go ahead. The chosen ones of the Dawn Mercenary Team can be revived. They can definitely delay the reinforcements from the other two fortresses. I can also increase the war reward …"
But was William an idiot who would only seek death?
He waved his hand without hesitation and said, "We'll start the war tomorrow. Throw the catapults and increase the war reward. I'll let my men charge the catapults for more than ten times. If I can stand firm on the top of the wall, you guys can charge."
"…" Salz and the other two widened their eyes. Could the chosen ones be sacrificed like this?
William raised his eyebrows. Why not?
The key was that it would not be a problem if the rewards were sufficient!
In particular, the reason why he started the war was because he wanted the players to be able to revive infinitely before they reached level 30.
