Just after he completed his fourth match since facing True, Zhou Zhou received a message from Ray and Rex.
Summoning the both of them into the war room, he asked.
"Is it time to act?"
"We might have to execute Plan C, my lord."
Rex said to his lord.
"That's the plan to sit back and do nothing."
"What happened?"
Zhou Zhou frowned.
"The third scenario I predicted indeed happened."
"The Titan Kingdom attacked the Aurora Kingdom, inciting the ire of the Tahan Kingdom which has almost conquered the century old kingdom."
"The forces of both kingdoms are now facing each other."
Ray relayed to his lord.
Contemplating Ray's words, Zhou Zhou was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Rising from his seat, Lu Chong went to check who that was.
"I have something for the lord."
Behind the door was Dai Lui.
"Let him in."
With Dai Lui in charge of communicating with the Tahan Kingdom, Zhou Zhou figured he must be here in regards to the war.
"My lord, commander."
Entering the war room, Dai Lui bowed to Zhou Zhou before saluting Bai Yung.
Reciprocating the salute, Bai Yung watched as the corpse summoner handed a spatial ring to the lord.
Inspecting the spatial ring after Dai Lui handed it to him, Zhou Zhou counted exactly 50 Diamond-tier corpses.
"We might just have to execute Plan C after all."
His eyes sparkled as a smile appeared on his face.
Glancing at each other, Ray and Rex shook their heads in confusion.
"Dai Lui, head to the Anvil of Dawn building in three hours."
"You and your team will make contact with the Titan Kingdom using the weapons given to you by Carter."
Zhou Zhou said to Dai Lui.
Understanding the words of his lord, Dai Lui bowed before taking his leave.
Turning to Ray and Rex, Zhou Zhou said.
"Deduce the strength of the Tahan Kingdom and the Titan Kingdom, and formulate a strategy that would weaken the both of them and lure in the Nether Bark Kingdom."
"I want a never ending war between the kingdoms around us and we'll be in charge of making it more bloody."
"That will be way better than doing it ourselves."
"Understood, my lord."
Ray and Rex said before taking his leave.
"It seems you're both curious about what just occurred."
Zhou Zhou stared at Bai Yung and Lu Chong before bringing them up to speed.
"We could've taken them down in less time."
Lu Chong said after hearing Zhou Zhou's story.
"I have a feeling we should hide as much of our strength as possible."
"This myriad race's lord battlefield event might be the last time we stand at the forefront of the limelight."
Zhou Zhou said to his soldiers.
Staying silent at the words of their lord, Bai Yung and Lu Chong engraved them deep in their hearts.
Focused on the Aurora corpses, Zhou Zhou smiled after reading through its information.
"I can have lord talent spheres and lord talent crystal fragments by just arming warring kingdoms."
He mumbled as he looted the corpses.
Replacing the 50 corpses were:
380 Extraordinary-tier mist cores!
109 Origin crystals!
380 Extraordinary-tier aurora crystals!
178 Lord talent crystal fragments! (102 Green bronze-tier, 45 White silver-tier, 22 Yellow gold-tier, 9 White platinum-tier)
"Sweet."
A smile rested on his face as he held off upgrading his lord talents.
"First, I should contact Carter."
Picking his priorities, he sent a message to his lead blacksmith through the communication tool created by Ashburn.
He made known the qualities he needed in the weapons as well as information on the fighting style of the titans.
*I will give my best, my lord.*
He received a response a few seconds later.
"Let's continue."
Speaking to his soldiers, Zhou Zhou began matching up.

Aurora Kingdom's Capital
"You need to leave, Li Ya."
"Head to Blazing Sun City and seek refuge with Blazing Sun."
"Your chances of surviving will be higher there than here."
Li Yuangan wiped off the blood on his cheek as he said to his daughter.
"I won't leave you, father."
"If you die today, then so will I!"
Li Ya stood her ground as she said.
"This isn't a conversation, Li Ya!"
"As your king, I'm commanding you to leave the kingdom immediately and head to Blazing Sun City!"
"If you don't heed my command, I'll have no choice but to exile you and have you taken away from the kingdom!!"
Li Yuangan yelled as his Extraordinary-tier aura bore down on Li Ya.
"You can't do this father!"
"I can't live alone in this world! I can't lose you too!"
Tears welled down Li Ya's eyes as she pleaded with her father.
"You've neglected your desires ever since you were young, Li Ya."
"With the kingdom gone, you can live for yourself."
Li Yuangan held Li Ya's head to his chest as he wiped her tears.
"I-I don't want to."
"Not i-if I have to lose you."
Li Ya sobbed on her father's chest.
