Chapter 1882: Chapter 1882: Epilogue
The agreement reached, the Great Magician, with a face full of bitterness, said to Li Yao, “This time I was not wronged in my defeat. Your guild truly is full of talent, and your intelligence and combat power are unparalleled, while Miss Li here is also astute and capable. Our defeat this time is indeed without any grievance.”
Having won, and after everything was negotiated, naturally, Li Yao wasn’t aggressive, smiling as he said, “The Great Magician truly has a keen eye. The fact that Starfire has reached this point is not something I could achieve alone. Without them, at most, I would be a somewhat skilled brute, and any so-called wisdom is built on a certain level of comprehensive strength; otherwise, it is useless.”
“Is this the taunt of a victor?” The Great Commander sneered.
“No wonder you can’t become a leader.” Li Yao shook his head, “If that’s how you see it, then there’s nothing more to say.”
“Do not be rude.” The Great Magician said with a gloomy face, his greatest annoyance now being the intelligence problem of the Ogres. You could say he is an anomaly; after so many years, he hasn’t found anyone who meets his expectations.
He is also the one who understands Li Yao’s words the most. He wants to change the status quo but can’t. Even though the Ogres are strong, their intellectual shortcomings are something he finds very regrettable.
If it were in a sub-dimension, it would be one thing, but looking at the mainstream races in the main dimension, and then looking at them, it is evident they are inferior.
“I naturally have trust in the Great Magician, but as for your subordinates, really. Let me remind you one last time: when you are preparing to withdraw, we will return three million weapons, but I hope the Great Magician can restrain your subordinates. We agreed not to invade each other for a year.” Li Yao said seriously.
“Thank you for the reminder. That is what I wanted to say as well. Even though you and Miss Li are unparalleled, the new recruits are always rebellious. I also do not wish to reignite the flames of war. That would do neither of us any good.” The Great Magician said, not willing to be outdone.
“In that case, all the better.” Li Yao and the Great Magician exchanged a look, then laughed heartily.
Seeing them leave, the Camp Ambassador smiled and said, “Congratulations to the Great Lord. From now on, our Dark Camp has gained another main city. The Great Lord has become famous from a single battle and is now a leader among the camp’s top leaders. Please take care of your brothers in the future.”
Li Yao waved his hand, “Ambassador, you flatter me. I was merely lucky this time, fortunately fulfilling the expectations of the Great Chief and the various chieftains. Please tell the chieftains that I will report back once I have secured the city and linked with other main cities.”
“The Great Chief has already instructed, so the Great Lord need not worry. They understand everything, and they insist that you prioritize ensuring the safety of the main city.” The ambassador said earnestly.
“In that case, I understand.” Li Yao waved his hand.
Phantom stepped forward, handed over a package, and said with a charming smile, “Thank you, Ambassador, for your efforts. Now you must return to report. This is a small token of our appreciation from Starfire.”
The ambassador’s expression changed, “A Legendary Weapon, this is too much, it is too valuable. I was just a messenger.”
“Having the ambassador witness our Lord’s occupation of the main city is a great joy, and naturally, we should celebrate together. Just a legendary item, are you not impressed? In that case, let me prepare something more valuable.” Sister Li said as she turned to leave.
The ambassador quickly gestured, “How could I think of such a thing? It’s truly too precious. Alright, I accept it. I am glad to count the Great Lord as a friend.”
“That’s more like it. Enjoying alone is not as good as enjoying together.” Li Yao and the rest saw the ambassador off, and the rest were all their own people.
It was then that the Starfire Core Group celebrated, especially the members of the Starfire Core Group, who felt like they were dreaming when they looked at the endless chain of cities from the top of the council hall.
“Tongtong, Fruit, Guardian, please keep an eye on the Great Magician and his people, be careful of any further actions they might take. It’s not the time to celebrate yet.” Li Yao said.
“Understood.” A few people quickly led the others down.
“Sister Li, I need you to be in charge of inventorying the spoils. We need to complete the inventory as soon as possible, while also defending against any sneaky offenders. Yaoji, I’ll temporarily let the Blade Queen assist you, bring the Worm Tribe and Dragonfly Army, and drive off any offenders.”
“OK, we’re on it.” Sister Li and Phantom also stepped down.
“You’re leaving the dirty work to others again.” Yaoji said helplessly.
“I can’t easily make contact. We must set aside some powerful beings. You have quite a burden, not just dealing with army player troops but also hunting the thieves within the city, which is no easy task.” Li Yao said.
“Just make sure you control the Array as soon as possible. How long do you need?” Yaoji asked.
Li Yao smiled wryly, “The core of the Array requires me to infuse it with aura, and it will take at least four hours.”
“Then it’s not a problem. With so many elite Worm Tribe, any number of player troops coming will just be easy pickings.” Yaoji finished speaking and disappeared from the rooftop.
Li Yao looked at the grayish-white Crystal in his hand and shook his head helplessly, as he had damaged the Array considerably before, and now reclaiming control required more time.
“Prairie Fire, your guild has really struck it rich this time.” Sea and Sky said with infinite envy.
“It’s alright.” Li Yao chuckled.
“Alright? Don’t joke. Want me to calculate for you?” Momentary Brilliance said irritably.
“Alright then, calculate it for me.” Li Yao said with a smile.
“To put it simply, the Auction House – at least one-twentieth of the Chaos Camp’s items and equipment fell into your hands, and the quantity is incalculable. Just that alone makes you wealthy enough to rival a nation.” Momentary Brilliance said with a tinge of acidity.
“If we had known, we should have asked for a share of the items instead of taxes when negotiating terms.” Sea and Sky’s eyes were red with envy.
You must know that the Ogre players are a powerful race, with a vast number of players, and the goods and equipment produced in this location are practically all level fifty-five to full level items. Naturally, the players acquire them here and then auction them in their own main city.
Any goods listed in the Auction here, once the city was seized, would become spoils of war. The quantity of goods is absolutely massive.
So to speak, the Auction House has amassed a substantial portion of the Ogre players’ items, combined with the haul from warehouses, it’s safe to say that the Ogre players have practically gone bankrupt.
To enforce military discipline, the Auction and banks were closed at the start of the war, and the listed goods and stored Gold Coin and goods were essentially out of reach.
This is also why the Ogre players are so desperate. Besides the items they carry, all their assets are essentially in the banks and auctions.
Can they not go insane? But they despairingly found that no matter how wildly they resisted, it could not match the increasingly numerous Earth players, and even more disheartening was the realization that their battlefield was not even decisive to the outcome of the war…
