The Black Lava Nation had won!
Rhine City had fallen.
In the following two weeks, the Black Lava Nation's army continued to advance. They were like a hot knife through butter. Everywhere they passed, cities and fortresses either surrendered or were destroyed!
Another month passed.
When the Black Lava Nation attacked the Iron Kingdom, Commander Kainor personally beheaded the old king. He opened the city gates and welcomed the arrival of the Black Lava Nation's army.
The Black Lava Nation had declared their victory in the war of conquest.
From then on.
In the southeast corner, there was only the Black Lava Nation. If the Black Lava Nation had three more Advanced professionals, it would become a grand duchy!
Of course, there was also the City of Dawn, which seemed to be their ally in the southeast corner.
Actually, what most people didn't understand was how they could win so easily.
Many people even thought that the Iron Nation was not as powerful as the Black Lava Nation.
But they did not know how much William had sacrificed.
They did not know that William had killed four legions and killed Augustine. He had sacrificed a lot more than he had for the Black Lava Nation. That was how the Black Lava Nation had won!
William had slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The King of the Black Lava Nation had reduced the influence of the Dawn Mercenary Team. He tried his best to publicize that the Black Lava Nation had won the war. The Dawn Mercenary Team had not contributed much.
But this was what William wanted them to see.
He did not want to be too ostentatious and attract too much attention. He would first reduce his influence and slowly develop.
But this was the ability of those in power.
No matter which world it was, it was the same.
Those in power were the ones who knew the truth.
In the eyes of the nobles and those who knew the secret, ordinary commoners were fools.
It was not that they were short-sighted.
It was not that their intelligence was not high enough.
It was not that they had no vision.
It was that the commoners, soldiers, and some so-called nobles could only see what they should see.
What did the commoners see?
It was what those in power wanted them to see!
Were the opinions, opinions, and information that seemed to be harmful to those in power not purposely released by those in power?
Were those in power not purposely letting the commoners know so that they would think that they had understood the truth?
It could only be said that the truth seen by the commoners was far from the so-called truth.
Some people would doubt the truth of the matter in the early stages, but they would remain rational and use their brains to think.
However, as time passed, and as the 'truth' was continuously revealed, everyone began to believe that this was the truth.
Apart from a few wise and determined people, the commoners would lose the ability to think independently and become fools who followed the crowd.
This was the benefit of controlling public opinion and public opinion.
William deeply understood that if he wanted to advance in the world of Gods, he had to master these two things.
However, in order to control these two things, one must first have authority and power.
If William wanted the vast majority of the commoners and subordinates to shout "His Lordship" and die for him, then he could not let them understand the truth of many things.
He had to let the people in his territory see the bright side of him!
This method could also be called a persona.
There was nothing that could be done about it. This was something that everyone had. It was just that some people were too overzealous in their promotion. It was easy for their dark side to be exposed, and they would die.
The plan to secretly control the Black Lava Dukedom was his dark side. Although it was not a big deal, it could not be exposed easily.
Therefore, he only chose the most loyal subordinates to carry out the plan.
He made sure that they had more than 950 loyalty points. Otherwise, once the matter was exposed, not to mention how the commoners would view him, more importantly, the power behind the human dukedoms would definitely come to suppress him.
Therefore, he had to be secretive enough. At least, he could not let anyone find out the key points.
…
The main storyline mission of the legendary continent had ended!
The players in the City of Dawn and Black Lava Dukedom received a huge reward.
The huge reward of experience points allowed many people to level up four to five times in a row. However, most people upgraded their skills first before upgrading their character level.
Another benefit was that the players received enough contribution points to completely upgrade their equipment. Most of the players could change to a set of beginner-level blue equipment, a silver weapon, or half a set of blue equipment.
Changli Jiuge, who had the highest damage output on the leaderboard, received a beginner-level epic sword!
Second place was Xiao Ayin, a dark gold weapon.
Third place was Lucky Dream, a dark gold weapon.
Fourth to tenth place were all gold weapons.
Tenth to hundredth place were all silver weapons.
The Dawn Mercenary Team's ridiculously huge reward made many players feel lucky to be a member of the City of Dawn.
Many players felt that something was amiss. It seemed like the 'Black Lava Dukedom' was going to attack the City of Dawn.
But the reward was very tempting.
After the war, almost all the players rushed to the City of Dawn. Only a few players remained in the Black Lava Dukedom.
As the losers, the Iron Dukedom players had suffered consecutive defeats. Their main storyline mission also ended in failure. They only received half of the final reward. It was unbearable.
The players led by 'Light of Freedom' hardened their hearts. They led 20,000 players on a long journey away from the beginner's village towards the 'Emerald Grand Duchy' in the north.
They did not know if they could do well there.
Anyway, they did not want to stay here anymore.
They had no choice.
Pride.
Stubbornness.
Willfulness.
They would not die.
This was the source of confidence of the players.
This was the degree of freedom of the current virtual games.
The so-called main storyline was not something that restricted the players. A true virtual game with a high degree of freedom was what it was for. If not, why would they play a virtual game that only allowed them to follow the main storyline?
Why would they play 'Gods'? There were so many virtual games on the streets. Wouldn't it be better to choose one?
As for the remaining tens of thousands of players, only a few chose to join the City of Dawn.
More people saw an opportunity. The Black Lava Dukedom was going to attack the City of Dawn!
Therefore, they joined the Black Lava Dukedom, hoping to avenge their humiliation.
Logically speaking, the Black Lava Dukedom was the executioner of the Iron Dukedom.
If the City of Dawn was going to war with the Black Lava Dukedom, why did the players not join the City of Dawn to attack the Black Lava Dukedom?
It was because the players did not want to lose anymore …
They felt that the Black Lava Dukedom was more powerful and could defeat the City of Dawn.
After the second prince became the king, he did not change his policies. He still followed the aristocratic system. However, he started to accept the 'chosen ones'. He also issued missions in the southern plains.
For a moment.
The players of the City of Dawn and the Black Lava Dukedom would often meet each other in the plains.
There was nothing much to talk about between the players. If there was a disagreement, they would start a war.
Therefore.
The killings became more intense.
From a small-scale group battle, it became a war between the small guilds.
Gradually, it became a faction war between the large guilds and the large guilds.
And the Massacre Plains was officially born.
This was the battlefield that belonged to the players.
This was the mission location that belonged to the players.
This was the free zone, the killing zone, and the training zone.
As for the behind-the-scenes Boss, William just smiled and looked at everything.
"As long as the health bar is not full, the battles will not stop. Experience is nothing. Don't be afraid of death. Fight more and train more. It's better than getting beaten up in the future national war and being unable to retaliate against the Darkness invasion!" William held his wine glass and gazed into the distance.
He.
Within half a year.
He was the King of this place.
But he also had to develop at full speed to deal with the Darkness invasion.
