118: Chapter 118 An Opportunity for Langbo?

Some of the vassal states participating in the siege against the Dragon Country had volunteered under the coercion and inducement of Sakura Country, while others had been randomly selected and then forcibly conscripted by Sakura Country.

At this moment.

Sakura Country had withdrawn.

From Jiaozhi Country, Angkor Country, Nalan Country, to Wanxiang Country, one after another, they had all been eliminated by the Dragon Country.

The original multinational coalition forces were now reduced to just Luang Prabang Kingdom.

A single [Heroic Spirit] capable of constructing seven exclusive skills!

The information revealed by the Wanxiang Country [Strategist] before being eliminated shocked the people of Luang Prabang.

But upon second thought, this seemed to be an opportunity.

An unprecedented opportunity to achieve a good ranking!

The powerful nations were all gone; even the strong nations, including Sakura Country, had been drawn away by two special plot points.

It was unknown what was inside these special plot points that had attracted the attention of almost all the powerful nations; these nations didn't even care about their rankings, focusing solely on clearing the plot points.

What was inside the plot points didn't matter.

What mattered was that without these powerful nations, Luang Prabang Kingdom could secure an unprecedentedly good ranking as long as they defeated the Dragon Country!

Defeating a country meant gaining the territory occupied by that country.

The Dragon Country itself occupied many regions and had successively defeated Jiaozhi Country, Angkor Country, Nalan Country, and Wanxiang Country, obtaining their occupied territories.

Occupied territory meant military resources, and that was the key to winning the Game of National Destiny!

If they could defeat the Dragon Country, wouldn't all those regions occupied by the Dragon Country become theirs?

Thinking of this, the Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist] became excited.

Currently, Luang Prabang Kingdom also had 40,000 troops, on par with the Dragon Country.

The reason they hadn't used these 40,000 troops to join forces with the previous Wanxiang Country to attack the Dragon Country was the fear that the Dragon Country still had exclusive skills available.

Facts proved that this worry was correct.

Following [The More The Better] and [Burning Bridges], the Dragon Country could actually still release exclusive skills, and it released five at once!

Five exclusive skills—good heavens, it was terrifying.

It was fortunate they hadn't chosen to join forces, otherwise Luang Prabang Kingdom would have been finished too.

Now it was fine; the Dragon Country had used a single [Heroic Spirit] to release a total of seven exclusive skills, surely there couldn't be any more, right?

Thinking of this, the Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist] felt excited inside.

They did not immediately decide to fight a decisive battle with the Dragon Country.

The Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist] was in no hurry; the time advantage was on their side. The Dragon Country dared not divert [Heroic Spirits] to govern the chessboard squares. If they kept dragging it out like this, the troops of Luang Prabang Kingdom would only continue to increase!

...

There were fewer and fewer empty squares on the chessboard, and demons had long since appeared in the squares.

Although low-level demons were easy to handle, dealing with them still resulted in a reduction of troops.

The Dragon Country was not governing the squares, so once there was a reduction, it could not be replenished.

Moreover, as the number of empty squares decreased, the probability and strength of randomly appearing demons would also increase.

The most fatal thing was that there was a Luang Prabang Kingdom behind them.

With Luang Prabang Kingdom constantly following behind, Chen Aoyun dared not place new [Heroic Spirits] to govern the squares, whereas the troop limit of Luang Prabang Kingdom was rising steadily.

Chen Aoyun knew he couldn't let this continue.

If this continued, the Dragon Country's two [chess pieces] would either be exhausted by the randomly appearing demons or finished off by the Luang Prabang Kingdom behind them.

"I must first deal with the Luang Prabang Kingdom behind me!

Only after resolving Luang Prabang Kingdom and removing the threat behind me can I place other [Heroic Spirits] to govern the squares!"

After reformulating his strategy, Chen Aoyun immediately took the initiative to seek a decisive battle with Luang Prabang Kingdom.

The Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist] was low-level and lacked the ability [Vertical and Horizontal Chessboard] to increase the movement speed of [chess pieces] on the board, so the Dragon Country's two [chess pieces] quickly arrived in front of Luang Prabang Kingdom.

The map scene unfolded.

After being depleted by the demons on the map, the Dragon Country's troops were left with only 40,000.

They hadn't left Luang Prabang Kingdom alone for too long; at this moment, Luang Prabang Kingdom's troops were just around 50,000.

Troops were the combat power in this Game of National Destiny.

Dragon Country 40,000 vs. Luang Prabang Kingdom 50,000.

Luang Prabang Kingdom had the advantage.

The two armies deployed their formations in the scene map. On the Star Chessboard, the Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist] looked at Chen Aoyun and smiled,

"Isn't it too late to think about a decisive battle with my Luang Prabang Kingdom now?

My Luang Prabang Kingdom has the troop advantage, and we also have [Heroic Spirit] exclusive skills available.

I don't believe that after releasing seven exclusive skills, you, the Dragon Country, still have exclusive skills available without placing new [Heroic Spirits]!"

Without placing new [Heroic Spirits], there were no [Heroic Spirit] skills available.

If they placed new [Heroic Spirits], the Dragon Country's existing 40,000 troops would be immediately halved.

In the eyes of the Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist], the Dragon Country daring to take the initiative to choose a decisive battle was simply seeking death!

Raising his arm high, the Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist] still chose to place a [Heroic Spirit] despite having the troop advantage, activating the [Heroic Spirit]'s exclusive skill.

It emphasized the word 'steady'.

Glancing provocatively at Chen Aoyun again, this Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist] was about to continue his mockery when he saw Chen Aoyun also silently raise his arm.

"This movement..."

The Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist] had a bad premonition in his heart.

The Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist] gathered his energy and placed his piece.

Chen Aoyun also gathered his energy and placed his piece.

The difference was that the Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist] had first placed the [Heroic Spirit] and then cast an exclusive skill for the placed [Heroic Spirit].

As for Chen Aoyun, he directly placed the piece and cast the skill!

"No way? No way?

He isn't placing a new [Heroic Spirit], is the Dragon Country [Strategist] still constructing skills for the previous [Heroic Spirit]?

One [Heroic Spirit] having seven exclusive skills is already ridiculous enough; is an eighth one about to appear?"

That's right, Chen Aoyun was indeed placing the eighth exclusive skill for [General Han Xin]!

General Han Xin's exclusive skill — [Devouring Mountains and Rivers]!

The skill surged forth, and the morale of all the Dragon Country soldiers suddenly skyrocketed, as if the majestic energy of all the mountains and rivers in the scene map had gathered within these soldiers!

This was not a skill released by a diluted [Heroic Spirit].

The Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist] had also released a [Heroic Spirit]'s exclusive skill, but the Luang Prabang Kingdom's exclusive skill couldn't even be compared to [General Han Xin]'s exclusive skill!

The Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist]'s expression turned gloomy, but the gloominess quickly faded,

"In this Game of National Destiny, 'the weight of soldiers is the highest', and a 10,000 troop gap cannot be erased by a single exclusive skill!

What's more, I have exclusive skills on my side too."

The Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist] was right; one skill was not enough to bridge the gap in troops.

What to do?

Very simple.

With abundant Construction Power, if one wasn't enough, then two!

If two weren't enough, then four!

The Dragon Country [Heroic Spirit] was just one, but this [Heroic Spirit] was [General Han Xin]!

Chen Aoyun's hand was raised once again.

This action made the chattering Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist] immediately shut his mouth, his eyes staring fixedly at Chen Aoyun's fingertips.

It wasn't just the Luang Prabang Kingdom [Strategist]; all the [Strategists] of the countries on the Star Chessboard were attracted by this action of Chen Aoyun, casting looks of concern, shock, or resentment.

As for the live broadcast room, after seeing Chen Aoyun raise his hand again, it completely exploded.

"It's already eight exclusive skills, don't tell me there are more!"
