Chapter 832 - Enticing (1/2)
“Every single one of your moves will be taken into account, and the influence on the campaign will be calculated. The points aren’t ‘whoever kills more gets more’.”
After Harren explained, the one that originally raised the question slightly bowed towards Harren and expressed that he had no further concerns.
“Sir Harren, if we don’t charge at the forefront, won’t we obtain fewer points?”
Harren shook his head.
“This crystal ball’s ability is unfathomable… Even I can’t understand it, but it definitely wouldn’t make a mistake. It seems that you still don’t understand. This crystal ball doesn’t score kills, it scores how much of an impact you had on the military campaign.
“For example, if you killed one enemy in the entire military campaign, and that enemy was an ordinary Shaman of the Raging Flame Beastmen, you might still obtain a few hundred thousand points.
“It’s because that small action might have brought about a huge effect on the entire military campaign.
“Maybe that ordinary Shaman was the disciple of the strongest Shaman of the Raging Flame Beastmen and carried many medicines to treat injuries, but because of his death, the medicines couldn’t be delivered were lost. And the best Shaman in their Tribe might have also received a serious injury and was waiting for the medicine, but that ordinary Shaman’s death led to the death of that best Shaman.
“And then, the battlefield had reached a critical point and their Tribal Chief might have escaped with serious injuries, but their Tribe’s best Shaman had died, and no one left could treat the Tribal Chief, leading to his death.
“And this Tribal Chief’s death would lead to the Raging Flame Beastmen completely collapsing, which would then lead to the victory of our military campaign.
“Normally, no one would know about this process, but with this crystal ball, it’s possible that a small action on your part influencing the military campaign could make you a hero that led us to victory.
“Your contribution would be the greatest. Although you just killed an ordinary Shaman, you directly tipped the scales and created the conditions for victory.
“Thus, it’s not just ‘kills for points’ or anything like that. This thing is absolutely fair, it cannot be counterfeited. The butterfly effect you started would never be overlooked.”
Harren stopped there. He had clearly explained everything, and everyone now understood how it worked. Every single small force was eager to give it a try.
And with the blood oath, even if they had great losses, they wouldn’t need to worry too much about not getting their rewards.
But at this time, Harren splashed cold water onto their faces.
“In this bet, the Odin Kingdom is also using this point system.”
Suddenly, all those who had suddenly become excited as the fruits of victory seemed to be just in front of them went pale.
Odin Kingdom.
These two words felt like a huge mountain pressuring everyone. Even Jouyi, Harren, and the Azure Wave Sword Saint didn’t look great.
The Odin Kingdom occupied Noscent’s best piece of land. Most of the terrain was flat and fertile, and it was also rich in resources. Apart from the hinterland, the other directions were completely filled with natural strongholds, which facilitated entering and exiting while also being easily defendable.
The many ruins and the rich heritage made the Odin Kingdom’s strength far surpass the other Kingdoms.
They originally thought that this point system would make everyone’s harvest fairer, and with the oath, no one would cause trouble.
But they had neglected the biggest issue, which was that the gains of this victory weren’t in their possession yet.
It could even be said that everything they had discussed, the oath, the gains from victory, the conquest of the Raging Flame Plane, everything would have meaning only if they could win against the Odin Kingdom.
If they couldn’t defeat the Raging Flame Beastmen and couldn’t win against the Odin Kingdom, then their discussion would only be idle chatter.
This battle was very fair. None of the forces could find any faults with that, but now, everyone started feeling a hint of despair.
In an absolutely fair competition, could they still win against the Odin Kingdom?
The enemies this time weren’t just the Raging Flame Beastmen, who were bound to be defeated… There was also the Odin Kingdom.
After all, in the current circumstances, the Beastmen’s defeat was already a foregone conclusion. But nothing had happened yet, and no one could know for certain what would come next. Maybe those Raging Flame Beastmen still had a trump card they had yet to use.
Who knew if the general attack would go smoothly? They might even be defeated… It wasn’t an insignificant possibility.
Most importantly, with this point system, the Odin Kingdom felt even more threatening. They were stronger and would inevitably rack up more points.
And although the first-rate forces of the Odin Kingdom hadn’t come, there were a few famous powerhouses that were joining the general attack on the Raging Flame Plane.
The Andlusa Kingdom was facing an enemy and a competitor, greatly increasing the pressure.
