49: Chapter 49 Lord Ranking Begins

Japan Territory.

Tojo Injin swung his katana towards the sky.

"Warriors who fought for the Emperor, may your Souls rest in peace!"

As the words fell, a soldier stepped forward to ignite the pile of corpses.

Flames roared, and all the soldiers bowed their heads in silent mourning.

Japan had lost 13 soldiers during the Arrival Night, which could be considered a heavy price.

The main reason was the sudden black fog that obscured their vision, allowing the enemy to find a Breakthrough.

However, even with heavy casualties, Tojo Injin felt no sadness.

Fighting meant people would die; this was normal.

Moreover, the harvest from the Arrival Night far outweighed the loss of a few soldiers.

While the soldiers were mourning, Tojo Injin clicked on the panel.

6,360 command points!

In just one Arrival Night, he had harvested six thousand command points, six times the initial command points!

Besides his Great Empire of Japan, who else could harvest six thousand command points in a single battle?

Tojo Injin grinned wildly as he looked at the command points.

The value of these six thousand command points was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

It would assist Japan in securely taking the exploration ranking and obtaining the decryption card.

Then, by relying on the decryption card to obtain the oil supply from Afghanistan, he would soar into the sky!

At that time, all countries would be trampled under the feet of the Empire of Japan!

...

US Territory.

MacArthur looked happily at the Level 2 Administrative Building that had finished upgrading before him.

Yesterday, as soon as he received the oil supplied by Afghanistan, he started upgrading the Main Base without stopping.

It took one day to complete the construction before the Lord ranking.

With the Main Base at the same level, US technology would be far ahead of other countries.

Relying on technology, allies, and other points, it was impossible for any country's development points to be higher than the US currently.

In tomorrow's development ranking, the US would definitely take first place.

The first place would receive two extra mining machines, which would further accelerate resource production speed and widen the gap with other countries.

War is about national strength; early-stage battles were meaningless.

Once the arsenal was built, relying on endless resources and absolutely powerful military technology.

The US would crush any country that dared to resist.

"Sigh." MacArthur smiled and sighed.

"So boring."

...

England Territory.

Elizabeth was sending private messages to her major allies.

She was confirming whether these allies had survived the Arrival Night.

The bad news was that among the few messages already sent, three Lords had not replied.

These three Lords had also traded with her on credit; if they were wiped out, those resources would all be down the drain.

Because she needed to execute diplomatic strategies and form alliances with other countries, Elizabeth had used most of the resources produced in the early stage for trade.

And except for the Dragon Kingdom, other countries were more or less in debt.

A very important part of the development ranking was the alliance relationship.

The higher the quantity and quality of allies, the more development points would be provided.

Elizabeth had originally wanted to rely on this to get a ranking in the development ranking, but now it seemed a bit critical.

"It seems the allies I formed alliances with are still too weak."

Elizabeth looked at the unanswered private messages, her eyes dim.

[Lord of Dragon Kingdom: 200 units of iron ore resources, how long until it arrives?]

Lord of Dragon Kingdom!

Elizabeth's eyes lit up.

The Dragon Kingdom had successfully survived the Arrival Night.

Although the Dragon Kingdom was not considered strong and did not provide many development points, it was one of her allies.

Seeing an ally survive the Arrival Night, Elizabeth felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

Wait, wasn't the Dragon Kingdom trading copper ore resources a few days ago?

Why were they starting to trade iron ore today?

Were they developing so fast?

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Elizabeth typed a message.

[Lord of England: Give me one night, I will give it to you tomorrow noon.]

Although the production of iron in the territory was large, it had been almost exhausted after pre-war preparations and trades with other allies.

[Lord of Dragon Kingdom: Can do, command points?]

Seeing the Dragon Kingdom ask about command points, Elizabeth was stunned.

Currently, the average market price for 100 units of iron is about 700 to 800 command points.

200 units would be around 1500 command points.

But for England, a major production country, iron ore was not scarce.

The price she gave to allies was generally 500 command points per 100 units of iron ore.

But now, because many allies had lost contact, and most of them were credit transactions that had not provided command points in time.

This led to insufficient command points for England, and slow development progress.

Should she ask for a little more from the Dragon Kingdom?

Elizabeth's thoughts surged.

[Lord of England: 1000 command points]

In the end, she still couldn't ask for more; this was an act that would destroy the alliance relationship.

Moreover, the Dragon Kingdom was in a period of catching up with other countries, and the demand for command points and resources was very high.

If she tried to scam him...

[Lord of Dragon Kingdom has completed the delivery: 1500 command points]

This... he still paid at the original price.

Elizabeth smiled and shook her head.

Obviously, Su Yang also believed in the principle of mutual benefit, just like her.

...

[Elimination List Released]

[Cambodia (Territory destroyed), suffered natural disaster: Flood (World-ending level)]

[Congo (Territory destroyed), suffered natural disaster: Drought (World-ending level)]

[Nepal (Lord dead), suffered natural disaster: Earthquake (World-ending level)]

[Colombia (Territory destroyed)...]

...

[Arrival Night ended, welcome everyone to the second week]

[Lords Hall has been opened, within the specified time, all Lords can communicate with each other in the hall]

[US Lord: Actually wiped out 13 countries at once, this Arrival Night was truly tragic]

[Anonymous: Who could have imagined there would be black fog on the first Arrival Night, it's too disgusting!]

[Lord of Japan: The variables in this Forbidden Ground are numerous, and the danger is extreme]

[Korea Lord: Why isn't Spain on the list? That kid actually survived the Arrival Night!]

[Lord of Spain: It was really thanks to the big shot's information, if it weren't for the Insect race information, I would definitely have appeared on the list!]

...

Su Yang quietly watched everyone chatting.

Unlike yesterday, the number of online people on the chat box had become 55.

13 territories were destroyed last night, and along with them, their respective countries had likely been destroyed as well.

World-ending level natural disasters were not something these small countries could withstand.

The Forbidden Area Trial was just like that, extremely cruel and merciless.

What surprised Su Yang was that the Lord of Spain had actually survived.

He had thought the black fog would make him fall into despair, leading to his destruction.

It was good that he survived; he could slowly make contact in the future.

The Insect Hive Forest was very large; perhaps there were some good things around the Spain territory.

While Su Yang was fantasizing, the System prompt sounded.

[First week ended, Lord ranking now begins]
