121: Chapter 121 Why did you provoke him?

If others refuse to listen to advice, Chen Aoyun cannot help it.

Soon, the two sides' [chess piece]s collided with a boom!

The scene map unfolded aggressively; the moment the armies lined up for battle, the disparity in troop numbers brought a suffocating sense of oppression—

Dragon Kingdom: 40,000, VS, France: 200,000!

An absolute disadvantage!

Things had reached this point; further words were useless.

Since the French refused to believe, Chen Aoyun could only let them experience it firsthand!

The Construction Power that had already gathered at his fingertips transformed into a [General Han Xin] exclusive skill and descended onto the Star Chessboard.

This was [General Han Xin]'s thirteenth exclusive skill, and also the first "great gift" for France:

[General Han Xin] exclusive skill—[Invincible in Battle]!

The radiance of the skill burst forth aggressively!

A surge of majestic power poured into the Dragon Kingdom's battle formation!

Not enough!

40,000 vs 200,000; one exclusive skill was definitely not enough!

Chen Aoyun's arm, having just descended, did not pause in the slightest and rose again!

Construction Power flowed, and another exclusive skill descended onto the board:

[General Han Xin] exclusive skill—[Able to Handle Anything Alone]!

Within the battle formation, the eyes of the soldiers at every level instantly became as sharp as eagles'!

Still not enough.

Come again!

[General Han Xin] exclusive skill—[Courage of Many]!

The individual soldiers' strength, speed, and reaction times increased once more!

Still not enough! Far from enough!

Chen Aoyun's eyes were terrifyingly calm; his arm turned into a blur; between its rise and fall, those brilliant beams of light, each with different colors and containing different rule-based powers, poured into the Dragon Kingdom's battle formation like a cascading river from the nine heavens!

[General Han Xin] exclusive skills—[Unparalleled], [Pushing Out the Old to Bring in the New], [Woman's Benevolence], [Sharing Food and Clothing], [Profit Over Righteousness], [A Thousand Gold for a Meal], [Microscopic as a Rod], [Discarding the Bow When Birds Are Gone], [Always Dissatisfied], [Calamity of the Bell Chamber]...

Chen Aoyun's hand rose and fell, rose and fell again, rising and falling 13 times; in the blink of an eye, he had cast 13 [General Han Xin] exclusive skills!

Each skill left a spot of light on the Dragon Kingdom's soldiers; 13 skills meant thirteen spots of light.

Lights of various colors shone, stacked, and resonated!

Every soldier of the Dragon Kingdom on the battlefield, under the buff of multiple skills, shone like a lightbulb—truly 'light pollution'.

Everyone, at this moment...

Completely blown away!

Thirteen exclusive skills, plus the previous thirteen, made twenty-six!

One [Heroic Spirit] has 26 exclusive skills?

This could no longer be described as outrageous; it was simply subverting reality!

And Chen Aoyun didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

At his fingertips, Construction Power was still surging!

[General Han Xin] exclusive skills—[Reckless Courage], [Pulling Flags and Changing Banners], [A Thousand Gold for a Meal], [Asking the Way and Beheading the Woodcutter], [Blood Dripping], [Returning to Simplicity], [Cease Fire], [Accepting Advice Like a Flowing Stream], [Guest of Changting], [Same Merit, Same Body]...

Another ten exclusive skills descended.

On the Star Chessboard, the [Strategist]s of other high-ranking nations could not see the battle scene within the map, but just watching Chen Aoyun's seemingly endless "raising hand, placing piece" movements, they were already completely numb.

Adar, the [Strategist] of the Ottoman, had his mouth agape, counting continuously: "...12, 13, 14...24!"

When Chen Aoyun placed his last piece, casting [General Han Xin]'s exclusive skill [Merit So Great It Overshadows the Master], the number in his mouth stopped at '24'!

24 exclusive skills, enjoyed exclusively by France; Adar was about to burst out laughing,

"Why did you provoke him when you had nothing better to do?

The Dragon Kingdom's occupied territory is certainly tempting, but this guy Chen Aoyun is a freak!

He is strange, and his Dragon Kingdom's [Heroic Spirit] is even stranger!

Twenty-four plus thirteen, thirty-seven!

One [General Han Xin] has, damn it, thirty-seven exclusive skills?!

From now on, whenever this kind of Game of National Destiny with unlimited Construction Power appears, this Heroic Spirit brother will definitely be the most awesome in the whole world!

What compatibility?

When the quantity reaches this level, it's simply an unreasonable existence!"

The French [Strategist] looked completely hopeless; the Dragon Kingdom army, buffed by a total of 24 skills, had already collided with the French army.

Yes, it's true that France has a troop advantage.

Yes, it's true that in this Game of National Destiny, 'soldiers have the highest weight'.

But as Adar said, with skills stacked layer upon layer, once the quantity reaches a certain level, a quantitative change leads to a qualitative change!

Consequently, under the stunned gaze of the whole world, the seemingly invincible 200,000-strong French army was forcefully cut through by the 40,000-strong Dragon Kingdom army, which was buffed by this 'light pollution'!

Convinced; the French [Strategist] was truly convinced.

24+13 = 37

This is the limit of the Construction Power in Chen Aoyun's hands, but surely this is the limit of the Chinese [Heroic Spirit] [General Han Xin]!

God knows if [General Han Xin] has any other exclusive skills.

At this moment, not to mention the French, even Adar put away his smile and looked at Chen Aoyun, saying,

"Give me the bottom line, are there any more [General Han Xin] exclusive skills? How many in total?"

Chen Aoyun grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and answered without thinking,

"There are, plenty enough! At least a hundred!"

Adar 'tsk'ed,

"A hundred? I believe you not! Even if there were a hundred, you wouldn't have that much Construction Power."

It didn't matter whether Adar believed him or not; it was just a bluff.

Repeated skills could not be used again; he did indeed have other allusions he could use to construct exclusive skills for [General Han Xin], but there weren't many constructible exclusive skills left.

One French [chess piece] and 200,000 troops were annihilated, and one-third of the occupied territory was transferred to the Dragon Kingdom's banner.

But France still had two other [chess piece]s, with a total of 400,000 troops available.

Chen Aoyun said this merely to make France retreat in the face of difficulties and stop bothering him; they should save those 400,000 troops for the decisive battle against the Ottomans.

The French [Strategist]'s eyes had never left Chen Aoyun; upon hearing Chen Aoyun's words, he was also weighing his options,

"Should I really bring the other two [chess piece]s over now?"

In the end, the French [Strategist] abandoned this plan.

The other two [chess piece]s were too far away; by the time they were brought over, the Dragon Kingdom would long since have run off somewhere else. Furthermore, there were large areas of blank chess squares in the direction where the other two [chess piece]s were, and abandoning them would only benefit the Ottomans.

Leaving the Dragon Kingdom alone was indeed a threat.

But the Dragon Kingdom didn't have much Construction Power left, and most importantly, they had started too late in terms of governance.

It was a threat, but not as great a threat as the Ottomans; France ultimately chose a strategic retreat.

And France's choice acted like an alarm bell, ringing in Chen Aoyun's heart:

Troops were the key to this Game of National Destiny, especially when Construction Power had been heavily consumed and most of [General Han Xin]'s skills could no longer be used.

Governance!

He must immediately, right now, place a new [Heroic Spirit] piece, govern the chess squares, and make up for this fatal shortcoming!
