“Lord Su Wan, do you know those Lords?” asked Angel.
Su Wan shook her head.
“Then why are they so excited to see you?” Angel was puzzled.
“It’s because of Ferula.”
“I heard that Lords can communicate with each other from thousands of miles away in the mysterious domain built by the gods. Is this true?” asked Angel curiously.
‘Is she talking about the forum?’ thought Su Wan.
“That’s right.” Su Wan chuckled.
“I heard that the mysterious domain allows free trade and can instantly teleport items ten thousand miles away. Moreover, everyone can have a new identity?”
The higher officials of Lion City who overheard Su Wan and Angel talking decided to ask the other Lords if this was true.
“Don’t be nervous. It’s not that easy to get close to her.”
The Lords were nervous. They hadn’t expected to meet Su Wan here.
“She is so powerful. Why don’t we tell them the location of the obelisk?”
“It’s a heavily guarded place with legendary heroes. They have no chance at all.”
“True, but we can exchange that information with Su Wan for her support on this plane. She might reward us!”
“We’ll talk about it after we meet Su Wan.”
“Who is she?” asked a new Lord who had recently joined them.
“Don’t you know about Su Wan? She is the top-ranking Lord.”
They looked at each other in shock.
Looking at the backs of the Lords who were leaving, Su Wan was amused.
The guild with only 5,000 member Lords seemed a little insignificant. Some guilds even had around five thousand members.
The Lords were too disjointed.
Moreover, teleportation magic was only available in a few major cities inhabited by the indigenous population, and its usage was expensive. Lords couldn’t find reliable transportation to communicate with each other most of the time.
Furthermore, a large portion of Lords had joined the natives, making it extremely difficult to organize a sizable guild.
After going through half a year of trials and tribulations, a guild that could gather thousands of Lords was definitely a force to be reckoned with.
As for the guilds with larger numbers, most of them were composed of Lords who had lost their territories. While the numbers were big, they lacked strength.
Lords with territories and Lords who had lost their territories were no longer on the same level.
The war between the Lords and the natives had made their differences apparent.
Su Wan collected her thoughts and looked back at the map on the table. Her gaze focused on an inconspicuous area.
The Spire of Fate—the mysterious structure that had been highlighted by the system’s special prompt—increased her determination to occupy the Tasiria Plane.
If she helped the Tasirian princesses regain their kingdom, they could mobilize the army to attack the Spire of Fate.
Before that, Su Wan needed to do everything she could to win this war.
At this moment, she held control of a legion, while the enemy’s forces numbered over 40,000.
If the Blazing Flame Guild was counted, their numbers would increase.
It was extremely difficult even for legendary-level power to sway the course of the battlefield.
Moreover, the opposing side would definitely have corresponding countermeasures, so it was unrealistic to rely on just a few heroes to win.
The soldiers guarding the city suddenly noticed a huge rift opening up in the distance, tearing through the sky.
To their astonishment, the rift cascaded down like a waterfall, crashing forcefully onto the ground and covering the frozen vegetation.
In less than half an hour, it formed massive sand dunes that piled up dozens of meters high. After reaching the boundary, the rifts suddenly started moving.
They surged toward the Lion City like waves. Wherever they passed, vegetation was devoured.
The defending army fell into chaos. They only quietened under the loud berating of their commanding officers.
Wave after wave came rushing in, directly attacking the base of Lion City’s walls.
The gravel dispersed and surrounded the Lion City.
As the rift in the sky gradually healed, the waterfall disappeared without a trace. There was an endless sandstorm outside the Lion City.
Fortunately, this change didn’t extend within a hundred meters of the city walls, or else the high city walls would likely have turned into sludge.
A deafening sound reverberated through the air.
The soldiers on the city walls instinctively turned their heads, only to see a spatial gate open to the north of Lion City.
A thick scent of blood emanated from it, almost choking them.
Outsiders tried to get a clear view of what lay within the spatial rift, but the crimson mist blurred their vision.
There were howls and screams rising from the mist.
The place beyond the rift was unfathomable. Perhaps it was a path to the abyss!
Su Wan took over Lion City and gradually began arranging a new defense system.
Just as she was preparing for battle with sharpened swords, her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a notification.
[Saint of Light leads the army to capture the first Spire of Fate and receive all the benefits. Additionally, there is an extra reward for a rare artifact.]
[To capture the exciting moments and during the exploration of the parallel dimensions, all lords can enter the live broadcast room to start a livestream.] ‘Someone wants to invade the Spire of Fate?’ Su Wan frowned.
The strange thing was that the system was offering additional rewards to players who captured the Spire of Fate. It was… unexpected.
As for the live stream, she didn’t feel much about it.
What she valued more was the Spire of Fate itself. Based on the system prompt, the Spire of Fate seemed to be more important than she had anticipated.
In the capital of the Tasiria Plane, a man in a crimson cloak sat on a throne adorned with gemstones. He was Archduke Blood Fury..
