120: Chapter 120 Are you sure you want to fight to the death with the Dragon Kingdom?

Be it hints about foundational items or the revelation of some hidden rules, most of the powerful nations in this Game of National Destiny were attracted by two special plot points.

In fact, France had also discovered a few hidden rules regarding the special plot points. The general content of the rules stated:

Countries that successfully complete the plot missions not only have a chance to obtain 'Heroic Spirit assistance' from outside their own civilization, but even the [Heroic Spirits] of their own civilization have a probability of receiving some form of ability enhancement. Furthermore, whether it is 'Heroic Spirit assistance' or 'ability enhancement', it is permanently lasting, and these powers will accompany them in all future Games of National Destiny!

It was indeed very attractive, but too many countries were competing for it, and they were all powerful nations.

After much consideration, the France [Strategist] believed that rather than betting on an uncertain future under unknown circumstances, it was safer and more cost-effective to play steadily and firmly grasp the fruits of victory in the current Game of National Destiny.

France is a powerful nation in the Game of National Destiny, possessing various types of powerful [Heroic Spirits], and the levels of its [Strategist] and [Roleplayer] are not something ordinary countries can rival.

When other powerful nations went to compete for the power within the plot points, France's strength became very apparent.

With ten thousand chess squares occupied, and the governance level of most squares reaching 60%, calculating it out, France had a total military force of nearly 600,000 at this time!

The total force of 600,000 was distributed among three [chess pieces], continuing to expand their territory from three directions.

The [chess piece] that appeared stealthily near the Dragon Kingdom was one of them.

Moreover, this stealth skill of the France [Strategist] was also very special. Unlike the stealth ability Chen Aoyun had already encountered, the stealth ability of this France [Strategist], to be precise, was not stealth, but 'Phase Shift'.

The advantage of 'Phase Shift' is that it can move in a special state without being detected, while the disadvantage is that [chess pieces] moving in this way cannot occupy areas or 'illuminate' the surrounding field of vision.

However, this Game of National Destiny did not have 'fog of war', and there was no need for [chess pieces] to reveal the map, so the biggest disadvantage of 'Phase Shift' immediately became insignificant.

As for the issue of not being able to occupy areas, it wasn't a problem either. The Game of National Destiny had already reached its second half, and there were few empty chess squares left on the board. The tactical intention of this France [chess piece] using 'Phase Shift' was never to occupy squares, but to annex them!

Defeating another country's [chess piece] would allow one to annex the opponent's occupied territory.

This France [chess piece] was here to 'capture pieces'!

Poor Chen Aoyun, having just dealt with the tail behind him, now had to face an even more powerful enemy!

In fact, the France [Strategist] also felt some lingering fear. Although the Dragon Kingdom's military force was small, only around 40,000, that [Heroic Spirit] of the Dragon Kingdom was extremely strange.

One [Heroic Spirit] had 12 exclusive skills. If they were to directly oppose it... defeat was out of the question, after all, this 'Phase Shift' [chess piece] had nearly 200,000 troops.

Defeat was impossible, but there would definitely be heavy casualties!

Among the powerful nations, there was also the Ottoman, who didn't join in the excitement of the plot points. If France suffered heavy casualties here at the Dragon Kingdom, the strong enemy that was the Ottoman would be difficult to deal with.

On the Star Chessboard, after the France [Strategist] smiled slightly awkwardly due to the exposure of the [chess piece], he no longer hid his intention to consume the Dragon Kingdom and manipulated that [chess piece] with a force of 200,000 to kill towards the Dragon Kingdom.

In this Game of National Destiny, 'soldier weight is highest', and a [chess piece] with 200,000 troops was clearly not something the Dragon Kingdom could face.

However, Chen Aoyun did not control the Dragon Kingdom [chess pieces] to flee; instead, he kept the two [chess pieces] in one chess square.

"Run separately, brother! If one of the two [chess pieces] is captured, you will only lose half of your occupied territory. Most importantly, as long as there is still a [chess piece] on the board, the Dragon Kingdom is not eliminated! What do you mean by just standing there? The Dragon Kingdom has quite a lot of occupied territory. If France eats it all up, what am I, the Ottoman, supposed to do?"

The one speaking was an old acquaintance, the Ottoman [Strategist] Adar.

The Ottoman starting point was at the other end of the board. He did not want the Dragon Kingdom to be consumed just like that, but he was too far away to help and could only offer advice to Chen Aoyun.

It wasn't a bad idea, but Chen Aoyun knew that running away wouldn't solve the problem.

The [Strategist] level was not as high as France's, and the [chess pieces'] movement speed on the board was inferior to France's. No matter how they split up to flee, both [chess pieces] would be caught up by France. Running away could indeed buy some time.

Time is ranking; the later one is eliminated, the higher the ranking.

But splitting up to flee would also disperse the Dragon Kingdom's already disadvantageous military force, which was tantamount to surrendering.

Chen Aoyun did not think the Dragon Kingdom had reached the point of surrendering!

Thus, on the Star Chessboard, Chen Aoyun raised his arm, and the Construction Power, like a docile galaxy, surged and gathered towards his fingertips, which were held in a pinching gesture.

Chen Aoyun was expressionless, his gaze like an ancient deep pool, locking onto the France [Strategist], his voice calm but carrying a trace of oppression:

"The Dragon Kingdom is not a soft persimmon! Are you sure you want to fight me to the death?"

Chen Aoyun's actions stunned the France [Strategist].

Not only the France [Strategist], but all the [Strategists] on the Star Chessboard who had not yet been eliminated involuntarily swept their gazes over.

Silence.

"Are you kidding me? [General Han Xin] has already unleashed 12 exclusive skills, and you're raising your hand again? What does that mean? You don't mean to say that [General Han Xin] still has more exclusive skills, do you?"

Narrowing his eyes, the France [Strategist]'s eye corner twitched slightly. He stared fixedly at Chen Aoyun, as if trying to find a trace of bluffing on the other's face.

For a long time, he took a deep breath, suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and said decisively:

"It's already 12 exclusive skills; I don't believe you can construct more for [General Han Xin]. Even if you can, I am determined to consume your Dragon Kingdom. Your Dragon Kingdom's occupied territory is too much, too tempting!"

Chen Aoyun's expression remained unchanged, only his speaking speed slowed down slightly, and every word seemed to carry ice shards:

"I still advise you to stay calm. With enough Construction Power, the number of [General Han Xin]'s exclusive skills might far exceed your imagination! Now, only you and the Ottoman remain as powerful nations on the map. If this [chess piece] of yours stumbles here at my place, first place will be almost out of your reach!"

The France [Strategist] still shook his head, "I admit that the Heroic Spirit [General Han Xin] is extraordinary, but no matter how extraordinary, there must be a limit, right? It's already 12 exclusive skills. Even if you can continue to construct exclusive skills for [General Han Xin], how many more can you construct? Two? Three? Or five? Let's say five. Even if [General Han Xin] can still construct five more skills, it cannot bridge the military chasm of 200,000 against 40,000!"

When the snipe and the clam fight, only the fisherman benefits. It wasn't cowardice; Chen Aoyun just didn't want to fight too fiercely with France at this time. Not only would it waste his trump cards, but it might also benefit someone else.

Chen Aoyun finally advised the other party, "Do not use inherent cognition to judge the Heroic Spirits of my Huaxia! The Soldier Immortal [General Han Xin], what kind of existence he is, and how many exclusive skills he has... I guarantee that the number will definitely exceed the boundaries of your imagination."

The Game of National Destiny is full of deceit.

To the France [Strategist], Chen Aoyun's words sounded more like a threat from someone at the end of their rope.

"Speaking so mysteriously..." The France [Strategist] sneered, his hand manipulating the [chess piece] without the slightest pause, "Then let me see with my own eyes, what other capabilities this 'Soldier Immortal' of yours has!"
