"The lord has finally done it!"
"The strongest lord in the lord of all races competition is my lord!"
Huang Sai laughed as he raised his wine-filled cup in the air.
"To the lord!"
Remiel cheered before drinking from his cup.
"To the lord!"
Sun Can, Monica, Zhang Xiang and the others responded in kind.
Gathered in the canteen of the base, the reserve soldiers celebrated the achievement of Zhou Zhou with a feast.
.
Not stopping after acquiring first place, Zhou Zhou continued matching up with the Mythical-tier advanced grade lords.
"I must obtain as many supreme treasure chests from the battlefield shop as possible before the battlefield event comes to an end."
He muttered while waiting for his next match up.
Still having 60+ ranking tries left, he wasn't too concerned about getting surpassed by True.
"If it comes to that, I can just have Feng Huo conquer the territories and regions used by the neighboring kingdoms for war."
"I only need the tokens and the ranking tries, occupying them isn't necessary."
Having a plan in place, he focused on his next match.

Dai Lui sat cross-legged on a massive mat, dwarfed by the Titan Kingdom hero across from him.*
"I've heard the reports."
The Titan said.
"You're the one who killed the Aurora Kingdom's Princess. And now you've come offering to aid us against the Tahans?"
His eyes narrowed.
"Is that true?"
"It is."
"However, it comes with a price."
Dai Lui responded.
"As all things do."
Iron-Fang King, Saifen said.
"What aid are you offering and what's the price?"
He inquired.
Taking out the weapons crafted by Carter, ten of them in total, Dai Lui placed them before Saifen.
Gazing at the weapons on the floor, particularly the five radiating Extraordinary-tier auras, Saifen was shocked.
'Someone actually crafted weapons for us?'
'Including Extraordinary-tier weapons?'
'Which kingdom is he from?'
He mused as several questions popped up in his mind.
The Titan Kingdom has never gotten suitable tier ranked weapons ever since its creation.
One of the main reasons for that was the titans had never birthed a blacksmith amongst them.
The other was that no neighbouring kingdom dared trade any weapon with them.
Already aware of what they were capable of using just crude weapons, they couldn't imagine what they could accomplish using tier ranked weapons.
"Why?"
The Iron-Fang King of Titan Kingdom asked.
"I did say we're friends, didn't I?"
Dai Lui smiled as he responded to Saifen's question.
Saifen became vigilant at the cloaked human's words.
"What will they cost?"
He inquired.
"Here."
Dai Lui handed a scroll filled with a list of goods to the titan.
10 Regions! (2 White platinum-tier, 3 Yellow gold-tier, 2 White silver-tier, 3 Green bronze-tier)
50 Fusion Certificates! (10 White platinum-tier, 10 Yellow gold-tier, 15 White silver-tier, 15 Green bronze-tier)
18 Territory Tokens! (6 Diamond-tier, 6 White platinum-tier, 6 Yellow gold-tier)
2,000,000 Basic Elemental Gems!
90,000 High-level Elemental Gems! (30,000 Thunder Gems, 30,000 Life Gems, 30,000 Death Gems)
1,000 Lord Corpses! (100 Diamond-tier, 300 White platinum-tier, 400 Yellow gold-tier, 200 White silver-tier)
Reading through the list, Saifen was bewildered by the goods written down.
'They're all related to territory advancement, aside from the lord corpses.'
He thought to himself.
'Compared to what we'll gain from defeating the Tahan Kingdom and annexing the Aurora Kingdom, they aren't so expensive.'
'His majesty would definitely agree to it.'
He ended his thought process as he lifted his gaze from the scroll.
"I will give you a response in an hour, what do you say?"
He said to Dai Lui.
"That's alright."
Dai Lui responded.
Receiving the cloaked human's response, Saifen stood up to complete his task.

Inside the Blazing Sun City embassy in Sunshine City, Erkan paced back and forth in his office while two Aurora Kingdom soldiers sat on the guest chairs, watching in silence.
Halting his steps, he inquired from the soldiers.
"It should be time to send a report back to my city now, shouldn't it?"
"There hasn't been an order authorizing that."
"So, stay put and hope for the best."
One of the soldiers said to Erkan.
"Don't tell me I have to remain here until I'm taken prisoner? Or worse, killed?"
Erkan questioned furiously.
"We've been at war with the Tahan Kingdom for months now, we aren't going to fall anytime soon."
"So, stay calm and get back to your duty."
The soldier said to Blazing Sun City's ambassador to Aurora Kingdom.
"Fine!"
Staring at the faces of the soldiers, Erkan uttered, irritatedly.
.
"Aurora Kingdom is definitely going to fall today."
"I can't believe it's happening after all these years."
Staring at the war in the distance, Floyd muttered.
"Pope Cronin was right, we would've bore the ire of the Tahans just like the Titans are doing now."
"However, different from the Titans, we wouldn't have clashed head on with them."
"This is good too. With the Tahans and the Titans weakened, we can take action to conquer their regions at the periphery of their kingdoms."
He smiled as he thought up a plan of attack.
