38: Chapter 38 Civilization Evolution: I Became a Lonely King.

The outcome of this war was no longer in doubt; most of the ringleaders were already dead or dying.

The real-time data from the scene appeared on the system interfaces of all Lords across the globe.

Although there was no live video feed, the casualty data for both sides had been listed.

[The first large-scale war with over ten thousand participants between global Lords.]

[Great Xia Lord: Xu Xuan] [Casualties: One Lord, zero savages dead.]

[Yamamoto Alliance] [Casualties: 113 Lords, 10,458 savages dead (over a thousand of whom perished while trampling each other).]

Seeing the absurd, explosive casualty ratio between the two sides, the Lords watching from around the globe forgot how to breathe.

It was... just ridiculous.

Aside from the more than one thousand savages from the Yamamoto Alliance who died from pushing and trampling each other, most of the remaining nearly nine thousand savages were killed by arrows.

Especially in this battle, the 2 ballistae displayed unimaginable lethality.

With tens of thousands of enemies huddled together, the bronze-forged bolts fired from the ballistae could, in extreme cases, pierce through over a dozen or even twenty savages with a single shot.

As long as the enemy crowd was dense, the ballistae were truly a meat grinder for these unarmored savages.

It could be said that by utilizing the high-ground advantage of the Floating Island, the arrows and ballistae achieved terrifying lethality, raining down destruction upon the enemy's heads.

The enemy was leaderless and had long since descended into complete chaos.

When Chi You led the male tribesmen down from the ropes, the savages who had lost their Lords chose to surrender one after another.

On the battle record sheet, the newly added term [Captured Personnel] began to scroll.

Hundreds, thousands, several thousands! Savages continuously chose to surrender and join Xu Xuan's tribe.

At this point, the battle was basically over; all that remained was the work of cleaning up the battlefield and clearing out the remaining enemies in the vicinity.

Watching large numbers of captives surrender and join his tribe, Xu Xuan was still a bit worried about whether his 400-meter diameter Floating Island could accommodate all these people.

However, when the battle settlement popped up, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

[You have killed a total of 113 Lords in this battle, equivalent to occupying 113 territories; your Floating Island will expand by 1130 meters!]

Calculating based on each Lord's head, every kill allowed the Floating Island to expand by 10 meters; 113 people directly turned the Floating Island into a behemoth.

One could see the Floating Island in the sky, which originally wasn't very large, expanding outward at a terrifying speed!

It expanded from its original 400-meter diameter to 1530 meters!

One must realize that the north-to-south length of the Forbidden City is only 961 meters.

The Floating Island before him, a circular island with a diameter of 1530 meters, was so massive that it looked like a giant dark cloud floating in the sky.

The land beneath the Floating Island was shrouded in darkness.

Watching the Floating Island continuously expand and finally become a giant island, Xu Xuan felt immensely satisfied.

That feels good!

With such a large piece of land, and with a large amount of new resources growing on it, it would be enough to keep him from having to go down to the ground for a long time.

And the battle settlement continued to pop up rewards.

[With a force of over 2,700, you defeated an enemy army of over 30,000, initiating the attack single-handedly, achieving an Epic Victory!]

[Rewards: Carpentry Technology (Shang-Zhou), Weapon and Armor Technology (Shang-Zhou), Planting and Irrigation Technology (Shang-Zhou)...]

A large number of technologies flashed before Xu Xuan's eyes; various new technologies appeared, a long list that was dazzling to behold.

Although he had obtained various things, the only thing Xu Xuan could be certain of was that his tribal civilization was no longer primitive; it had begun to evolve toward the level of Shang-Zhou civilization.

And there were various other rewards.

With a wave of his hand, they appeared before him.

[Prehistoric divine general card, armor, bronze swords, catapults, ballistae...]

The generous rewards left Xu Xuan stunned.

Although he had achieved victory with over two thousand troops at the cost of zero casualties—the only person to die was Yamamoto Aratora, who had just surrendered—

to defeat an enemy coalition of tens of thousands with so few people, weren't these rewards a bit too generous?

Upon closer inspection, he roughly understood.

[Battle Evaluation: You, with the power of a single tribe, fought against hundreds of Japanese Lords and, with a record of almost zero casualties, completed this Epic Victory. System evaluation: Impossible War, Ancient Super-God Level Battle!]

Seeing the system's evaluation using terms like "Incredible," "Impossible War," and "Super-God,"

he knew why the lord system wanted to give Xu Xuan so many rewards all at once.

After all, in the eyes of the lord system, being able to fight such a battle like this was truly somewhat heaven-defying.

At this moment, his tribe also began to change from a primitive tribe.

[Lord: Xu Xuan]

[Civilization has evolved to a certain degree; your tribal culture has begun to transform toward Shang-Zhou civilization.]

[Your title has changed from Chieftain to 'King'!]

[You are the first Lord to become a monarch, gaining the limited edition title: Lonely King (click to view attribute details).]

No longer a Chieftain, but already a King?

Xu Xuan felt his blood boiling; while other Japanese people were still living lives of drinking blood and eating raw meat, his tribe had already begun to develop toward a national form.

Just as he was overcome with excitement, the system's voice once again shocked the global Lords.

[Global Announcement: Great Xia Lord Xu Xuan has become the first Lord to be crowned King; he has led his tribe into a new era.]

Upon seeing this news, all Lords felt a sense of crisis.

The first person to be crowned King?

Xu Xuan's civilization progress is this fast?

Could it be... because he has been constantly waging external wars?

At this very moment, many Lords had begun to stir.

So war could actually bring rewards; if they had known, they would have learned from Xu Xuan and rushed to plunder other Lords.

However, just as everyone was sharpening their knives, preparing to learn from Xu Xuan's expansion policy,

the next announcement made all the global Lords mentally curse Xu Xuan's ancestors for eighteen generations.

They saw a new prompt appear.

[Since a Lord has entered the national civilization era, monsters in the wild will be further enhanced. Please prepare yourselves, Lords; after 8:00 AM tomorrow, new monsters will appear on the Lord Continent.]

Seeing this announcement, everyone was about to cry.

That's not right, Brother System!

The only person who entered the new era is Xu Xuan.

Other Lords are still researching how to make charcoal, how to get fire, and how to make bronze ware.

It's equivalent to most Lords still being in the newbie village killing chickens, while Xu Xuan alone has become a god; what does that have to do with them?

All the Lords finally experienced the feeling of being "averaged."

My average net worth with the world's richest man is in the tens of billions; I am "killing it" with the world boxing champion—I make the noise, the champion does the killing.

Xu Xuan is equivalent to this boxing champion, going on a killing spree in front, while other Lords are forced by him to be dragged into a new era.

Furthermore, it sounds like the upcoming monsters will be even more powerful than those Goblins.

When everyone learned this news, many people let out a wail and were almost in tears.

They can't even beat Goblins, and now new monsters are coming? Is this really fair?

However, even though those Lords complained endlessly, cursing in the global chat channel and accusing the system of being too ridiculous,

the system was like a robot, only proceeding according to the prescribed program.

On the other side, Xu Xuan was watching many people in the chat channel cursing him.

He couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

There was no other way; if he, Xu Xuan, didn't become stronger, he would be killed by the one hundred million Japanese Lords.

He was now effectively increasing the danger level of the entire continent, forcing all Lords to evolve rapidly.

Those Lords who stood still would soon be eliminated.

Thinking of this, Xu Xuan looked at the divine general card in his hand.

This was the last divine general card from the ancient era; he wondered who he would draw.
