Chapter 391: Chapter 86: Global Targeting (Part 2)

The "Hymn of Hope" skill, which provided group-wide mana regeneration.

The "Mjolnir" skill, which provided area-of-effect crowd control.

Additionally, there were various other skills, like group-wide rapid healing, dispels, Purification, and the Summoning of Undead Soldiers.

Once these skills were refreshed by the "Highland Bloodline" Big Move, the strategic value they provided was immeasurable.

"Not bad!"

"This was a massive score!"

"Two more Divine Gift skills with an Invincible effect!"

"Another broken hero who can hold a lane all by himself!"

"And on top of that, an insane Big Move with maxed-out strategic value!"

"Now, all I have to do is wait for the Eight Realms Alliance Army to enter the field and give them a huge surprise!"

...

「Meanwhile, in the real world...」

Information flew rapidly through an exclusive, encrypted channel on the international "Lord Game" forums. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Elevator: "Friends, I feel this decision was too hasty... We’re spending so much effort to go after a genius rookie from the Hua Country Lord Players. Isn’t that basically like taking a dump on the faces of all the Hua Country players? They’ll definitely retaliate with everything they’ve got afterward! (The website has automatically translated this message into the local language of the recipient’s IP address.)"

Beetle King: "What’s there to be afraid of? We’re here to beat up Hua Country players! I can’t stand those guys! A bunch of stupid pigs! They act so high and mighty all day, but they’re not even worth one of my leg hairs! They’re even worse than those black niggers!"

Issac: "Ignore the racist retard in the post above. This operation is worth it. Our mole in Hua Country has already reported that the new player named ’Tingfeng’ has an absurd level of combat power. If we can’t disrupt his development in the third stage, he’ll likely start helping other Hua Country players in the fourth stage and, in turn, invade our Lord Planes."

Daisy: "Exactly. His growth rate is absurd. He even managed to get the ’Heaven’s Chosen Ruler’ title and cleared the ’Void Realm’ in the second stage. He’s an unprecedented, top-tier genius. We have to completely crush him in the third stage. We can’t let him lead the other Hua Country Lord Players to wipe the floor with us in the nation-level Plane Wars that start in the fourth stage!"

misoreul_ttuin_sonyeo: "Ah, fuck! Isn’t this guy an Evil God Player? How can he pull off something so ridiculous? From what I remember, it should be impossible for anyone to accomplish either of those things!"

haneureul_georeo: "He can’t be an Evil God Player. If he were, it wouldn’t be up to us foreigners to deal with him. The big Player Alliances in Hua Country would have already sent their third-stage elite players to hunt him down with full force."

bulmyeonjeung: "Fuck! Who cares if he’s an Evil God Player! I just want to know how we’re supposed to fight! Are the Divine Chosen Armies from all eight Planes just going to charge in at once and wreck that Tingfeng guy?"

tabako_no_nioi_ga: "Hmm, that brings up a good point. I’m curious. In past Plane Wars, we only had to kill the Heaven’s Chosen Ruler once to win. But Tingfeng is a Lord Player with Infinite Resurrection. Does just killing him once not count as a victory? Do we have to destroy his Lord’s Hall to completely cut off his ability to resurrect before this Plane War can truly end?"

57Pixels: "I’m guessing we have to destroy his Lord’s Hall. But that seems difficult. Tingfeng is a King of War and has buffs from two titles, ’Heaven’s Chosen Ruler’ and ’Void Realm Annihilator.’ To destroy his Lord’s Hall, we’d have to find a King of War player who can take him on one-on-one. And even that’s not enough. We’d have to take out his Alliance Headquarters first. Otherwise, the Ability Value and Attributes bonuses from the Alliance Headquarters are just too terrifying. We have almost no chance of beating that new genius, Tingfeng, in a straight-up fight."

The_Air_Is_Sweeter_Abroad: "It doesn’t matter. We just need to use our numerical advantage to wipe out his main body and his army, then we can take our time destroying his Alliance Headquarters and Lord’s Hall. If he turtles up in his Lord’s Hall and refuses to come out, we’ll just go destroy other players’ Lord’s Halls and slaughter all the Native Creatures and cities in their world. That’ll force him out."

Hoboken Nightingale: "Impressive. Say what you will about you Hua Country people, your talent for fighting each other is no joke. However, while your idea sounds good, have you considered that he isn’t fighting alone? The major Hua Country Player Alliances will definitely send their third-stage branch members to support him. They absolutely won’t sit back and watch us slaughter the Lord Players and Native Creatures in Lord Tingfeng’s world."

emodare: "Heh! So what if they send reinforcements? Don’t forget, they only have the Hua Country Realm! We have the Sakura Country Realm! The Eagle Country Realm! The Cosmic Country Realm! The Romantic Country Realm, and so on! We have the support of Lord Players from almost every country in the world! Even if we can’t take him down in this wave, countless more allies will charge in after us! We’ll keep going until this rookie, ’Tingfeng,’ is dealt with! Does Hua Country have enough people to stop us? Even if their real-world population is the largest, the number of players in each country’s realm is fixed! There’s no way they can handle an army tens of times their size!"

bamhaneurui_byeol: "It’s true. This new player, Tingfeng, is so terrifying that all our countries have been forced to unite against Hua Country. Otherwise, if we let this monster survive until the fourth stage, he’d likely lead the Hua Country Lord Players and easily crush us in the nation-level Plane Wars. Our losses then would be far greater than the cost of ’sniping’ him now in the third stage!"

ujureul_julge: "So? What’s the battle plan? Nobody’s answered that question yet! It can’t be that they expect the Lord Players from the eight Planes to just fight on their own, can it?"

Beginner: "No! You guessed it! We *are* fighting on our own! Our eight Lord Planes will attack from eight different directions! This will prevent that ’Tingfeng’ player from using his ’King of War’ Imperial Expedition effect! It’ll make it easier for us to either annihilate him completely or at least wear down his military strength beforehand, laying the foundation for our allies who will come after!"

Im_A_Banana_And_I_Love_Foreigners: "Splitting our forces? Won’t our losses be huge then? Is that really viable?"

Poison: "It doesn’t matter. We’re the Attackers, so our Lord’s Halls won’t enter their Lord Plane. We have the privilege of Infinite Resurrection. Yes, we’ll lose a lot of Divine Chosen Soldiers, and it will slow down our development, but it’s a necessary sacrifice for the prosperity of our nations! It’s all worth it! We must eliminate this massive threat! Tingfeng!"

"Oh! So you’re a defector from Hua Country!"

"That would explain why you can’t understand the mindset of those of us willing to go through hell and high water for our countries!"

Im_A_Banana_And_I_Love_Foreigners: "..."

The_Air_Is_Sweeter_Abroad: "Dumbass, I’m not from Hua Country. I’m a noble citizen of the Eagle Country now. If you can’t understand that, then don’t talk to your grandpa!"

Beetle King: "See! I told you all Hua Country people are a bunch of stupid pigs! And you insisted I was being racist! Is this racism? I’m just stating the facts!"

The_Air_Is_Sweeter_Abroad: "Fucking idiot!"
