There had never been a moment in Roxia's life where he lacked the most basic trust in his so-called allies … Roxia's allies had been scheming for themselves the entire time. Those who didn't do anything and didn't drag Roxia down could already be considered the most loyal allies of all.
There had also never been a moment where Rorschach felt so fortunate about his original choice and had such confidence in the Alliance's victory … These bastards had hidden very powerful trump cards, and their combined strength was more than enough to complete the entire plan. In fact, their strength was almost overflowing.
"It seems that my choice back then was indeed correct."
Standing on the city walls and looking at the distant battlefield, Rorschach was even more certain that the Game Church's choice back then was correct and necessary.
"As long as the new city is built and the grand plan succeeds, it's fine. There's no need to think about anything else. If I don't let these bastards reap some benefits for themselves, they won't sincerely contribute."
Treating RPGs like SLGs wasn't a joke or empty talk. It was a shift from strategy to work thinking.
Previously, Rorschach's group had followed the same old thinking as when they were students. Everyone worked hard together and reaped rewards together. Those who could contribute would contribute. As long as the final result was good, it was acceptable to take some losses and take some risks.
But if they still had such an attitude, then they would always be the ones who had to take some losses, charge and take risks, and be used by the old foxes until they died.
Every time the new alliance encountered a problem, if they had to fight for the right to make decisions, they would naturally have to charge at the front … With the Game Church's little foundation, how many times could they charge at the front? Don't let them suffer so many losses that they had to withdraw from the new city right after it was built.
This wasn't an exaggeration. Rorschach repeatedly thought about it, and perhaps this was the fundamental reason why the stronger churches didn't fight for the position of the leader.
"These old foxes …"
If they were the kind of New Gods who were willing to fight, fight, and work hard to find an opportunity to rise to the top, they might be willing to give up some sacrifices and labor in exchange for reputation, right to speak, and status. However, the Game Church was a New God with weak foundations. A few sacrifices and struggles would shake their foundations.
"The bolder a person is, the more he will produce … but the prerequisite is how big his appetite is and whether he can digest it after swallowing it."
Rorschach patted his face to calm himself down.
He reflected deeply on himself. Not only himself, but the entire Game Church had become complacent due to the rapid development over the past few years.
And now, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for development, and after betting everything on it, his mentality became even more impetuous as he worried about his gains and losses.
If he won, he would be able to obtain more than 20 years of hard work. That was quite a good idea … Everyone had their own ideas, and many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Of course, it was good to be in the limelight and take the biggest profits. When you couldn't take it anymore, you would naturally have to spit out all the profits.
"… Fortunately, we discovered it early. Fortunately, the Thunder Snake God couldn't keep his cool."
Rorschach was somewhat grateful to the Thunder Snake God. It was also thanks to the Thunder Snake God that he was the first to step up and tear apart the scheming under the seemingly harmonious atmosphere. And with the Thunder Snake God as the catalyst, the other churches that were always shouting "Thunder season is terrible!" and "Are the profits really enough to pay?" "Our family isn't good at pioneering, so we'll just follow the bosses and mess around." The "friendly" churches that seemed to be slacking off revealed the most alarming things.
The fleet that was able to defend against thunder during the thunder season was obviously hiding even more advanced creatures that could defend against thunder and lightning. They were divine beasts that could ignore thunder and lightning. This was the hidden ace of excellent pioneers and fighting for profits.
"It's not enough. We're not strong enough. In the end, the Game Church is still too weak. We're unable to suppress these guys. "
Even though they were the leaders of the Vila Nova Dônia construction project, the reality that the weak were the strong still caused these "guests" to have too many ideas. In the end, even in this generation, the concept of the strong preying on the weak was still deeply ingrained in people's hearts. If you wanted to make others work for you without risking anything, you first had to see how strong your foundation was and whether you could withstand the backlash.
Could you withstand it? Rorschach did some calculations and felt that the chances of them not being able to withstand it were relatively high.
The Game Church's foundation was still too weak.
Rorschach was grateful to Razer, who had stood up first. He was the one who had used his life as the price to reveal this bloody truth under the peaceful atmosphere … Why was it his life? Judging from the reinforcements that had popped out one after another, as well as the experts and aces that the various churches had brought out, this Naga God would soon become a dead snake.
"Soul Sacrifice, Great Flood."
Standing on the city wall, Rorschach opened the Book of Divine Artifacts while preparing to cast the spell.
This was the third time he cast the spell. The flood had already washed out the waterway, and the first moat was about to take shape.
Rorschach had completely thought it through. Instead of fighting with those guys for every inch of land and sacrificing the foundation that they had accumulated over the past few years, it was better to grab hold of the Game Church's core benefits.
Core benefits? That would be the completion of Vila Nova Dônia.
Others had their own plans, but as the initiator, the Game Church naturally had their own plans. As long as the construction of Vila Nova Dônia was completed, they could carry out the plan that they had long prepared … Lori was confident that she could successfully advance to a Level 2 Celestial within half a year!
Loli had become strong, and the entire church had developed. This was the most important thing, the most important thing.
[… The evaluation results are out. The two Level 3 Celestials have the ability to crush our entire church. We don't have the confidence to win against most of the Level 2 Celestials. It seems that we need to adjust our future development strategy. Apart from the two core members, we can give up on the rest.]
Roxia nodded silently. In front of the strength displayed by these bigshots, the impetuous Church of Games felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them, and they completely calmed down.
Their original goal? Fight for the biggest share, fight for the position of mayor after the new city was built, and with that as the core, occupy this land and wastelands, and build their own pantheon with the surrounding New Gods … that was no longer about trying to gain something without risking anything, but gaining a white dragon without risking anything.
At first, Rorschach and the others were prepared to fight everyone to the end in order to become the leader and take the biggest share of the profits. Now, however, it seemed that it wasn't fighting to the death, but sending themselves to their deaths.
And now, the plan had been rewritten even before it was carried out. It was much better than fighting to the death with others, only to be left bruised and battered before changing course.
There were two core goals: the first was that the construction of the new city must succeed and Lori's ascension must succeed. The second was the main fleet of the Church of Games that was already under construction.
If strengthening oneself was the foundation, the establishment of the fleet meant that the radius of movement and sphere of influence would greatly increase, as well as having a sphere of influence that a Level 2 Celestial should have … it also meant that there would be enough territory to support Lori's growth as a Level 2 Celestial.
The souls in the Shadow were smashed into the Book of Ten Thousand Spells one after another, turning into mana that replenished the water elementals. After building the foundation of the moat, Rorschach would probably have to replenish himself on the battlefield again.
"Eat a little, digest a little, get stronger, eat a little more … before, I wanted to eat until I was full in one bite and didn't need to eat for decades, which was basically suicide."
If Roxia had this goal in mind, he would be able to give up on most of the competition for benefits. He also felt much less pressure. Once he calmed down from his impulsive state of mind, he was able to see the reality of his relationship with the Church of Game even more clearly.
"We're lacking a lot, but the most important thing right now is the number of high-level combatants and the number of middle-level backbones."
Rorschach thought about it. Even if they weren't limited to thunder-type champions, the Game Church didn't have any high-level descenders on par with A1 and A2 … the most powerful of them all, Isabella, was probably just a Tier 5 adept, and a Vampire who was clearly countered in certain aspects.
If they weren't limited to thunder-type champions, the churches would have even more top-level champions. The Game Church was considered powerful before, but that was only calculated among the Tier 1 deities.
Back then, if the Silver Elf War God who was a Tier 3 deity went all out in a divine battle, the Game Church would definitely be destroyed.
If they lacked top-level strength, no one would be able to step up when there were major benefits to be gained. If they forced Grandmaster and Isabella to fight against the Children of Gods, powerful adepts above Tier 6, and demigods, losing any one of them would be unacceptable even if they couldn't win.
On the other hand, the lack of mid-level backbones was too obvious. There was a lack of people in all aspects.
Rorschach himself was in an abnormally busy state. Most descenders of the Game Church had multiple roles, which also showed the reality that there was no one available.
"We need to recruit people, and we need to recruit a large number of people."
Throwing away the huge benefits and fame in front of him, Rorschach instead saw more benefits and development opportunities that could be fought for.
"The locals can all be recruited. As long as they're used well, their loyalty will be even better than that of the Aishi villagers. For example, those fellows in the Eagle Tribe definitely have something up their sleeves. That old hag gave me the feeling that she was bottomless … I can make use of my identity as a diplomatic envoy, as well as my ability to travel between various regions and tribes. When the other churches interfere with the recruitment, it will really be too late."
[I've already talked to the God of Books. We'll sign a private alliance to advance and retreat together. We'll share information and the Divine Tribute System.]
As for Lori, she had also revised her plan. Her previous plan of hiring a large number of subordinates as soon as she revealed her aura was too unrealistic. Now, she wanted to capture as many subordinates as she could.
Giving up the present was to better fight for the future. At this moment, Rorschach finally understood completely.
Thus, he smiled and greeted the craftsmen to calm them down. Then, he helped them to process the defensive military to prevent any possible attacks on the city.
The craftsmen also took some time out to help process the new moat.
The battle over there was getting more and more intense. As time passed, powerful beings who could ignore lightning suddenly jumped out and fought over there. The battle was getting more and more intense. Many of the participants were so unfamiliar that Rorschach had never heard of them before.
On the other side, stones were dug, pits were dug, the river was repaired, and the divergent roads were buried. When the first moat began to flow slowly, the cheers in the communication device were deafening.
Really? That's not bad. I just don't know if killing that Elemental Lord will give me 1%. "
The Divine Tribute System that was linked together gave this moat a rather high rating and reward. After all, this would fundamentally increase the success rate of the new city's construction, rather than just dealing with a sudden crisis.
Seeing that the battle in the distance seemed to be about to end, Rorschach didn't want to get close to the scene at all.
