The King for Half a Year (End of This Volume)

The Blackrock Duchy has won!

The Rhine City has fallen.

For the next two weeks, the Blackrock Army continued its advance, sweeping through everything in the Legion path. Cities and fortresses were either surrendered or swiftly captured!

Another month has passed.

As Black Rock attacked the Steel King City, Kelnote personally beheaded the senile Late King and opened the city gates to welcome the Black Rock Legion.

Black Rock thus definitively declared victory in the conquest war.

From that day forward.

In the Southeastern Corner, only the Blackrock Duchy remains. Or rather, if Black Rock produces three more High-Class Professional, it can become Grand Duchy!

Of course, there is also the Dawn City, which seems to be an ally, in the Southeastern Corner.

What many people don't understand is why their victory was so easy.

This has led many to believe that the Steel Principality is nothing special, far less powerful than the Black Rock Steel Duchy.

But they didn't know how much William paid for it.

What they didn't know was that it was William who had annihilated four potentially fatal Legion and killed Augustine, sacrificing far more than Black Rock to allow Black Rock to gradually move towards victory!

He has slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Black Rock King seems to have turned against them and begun to reduce the influence of the Dawn Mercenary Group, while also trying to spread the message that the Black Rock Legion had personally won the battles, and that the Dawn Mercenary Group had not contributed much to the victory.

But that's exactly what William wanted them to see.

He doesn't want to be too flamboyant or attract too much attention right now, so he'll keep a low profile, lay low, and develop slowly.

But this also reflects the capabilities of those in power.

In fact, it's the same in every world.

Those in power are the ones who know the most truth.

Ordinary Commoners are seen as fools by the Grand Nobles and those who know the secret.

It's not that they're short-sighted.

It's not that they're not smart enough.

It's not that they lack vision.

Instead, Commoners, soldiers, and some so-called Nobles, both high and low, could only see what they were supposed to see.

What do Commoners see?

This is what those in power want him to see!

Are some statements, opinions, and intelligence that seem harmful to those in power not deliberately released by them?

Isn't it possible that those in power deliberately let Commoners know, misleading them into believing they know the truth?

It can only be said that the truth seen by Commoners is far from the so-called truth.

Some people may doubt the truth of the matter in the early stages, but they will remain rational and use their brains to think.

But as time went by, as the 'truth' was gradually revealed, and as everyone came to believe that this was the truth...

Except for a few wise and determined individuals, Commoners will lose the ability to think independently and thus become a foolish masses who follow the crowd.

This is the benefit of controlling public opinion and attention.

William understood a principle deeply: in the world of Gods, to rise higher and higher, one must master these two things.

However, the prerequisite for controlling these two things is that you must first possess power and authority.

If William wants the vast majority of Commoners and his Lord!" and be willing to die for him, then he must prevent them from knowing the truth about many things.

He must show his people the bright side of himself!

This approach can also be called "persona".

Unfortunately, this is something everyone experiences. Some people exaggerate it too much, and once the dark side is exposed, it all comes to a head.

His dark side includes plots to secretly control the Blackrock Duchy, but while such a dark side may not seem like much, it cannot be easily exposed.

Therefore, he only selected his most loyal subordinates to carry out the operation.

Make sure they all have a loyalty score of 950+, otherwise, once the truth is exposed, not to mention how the public will view him, the more crucial factor is that the forces behind the Human Duchy will inevitably come to attack him.

Therefore, he had to be discreet enough to prevent anyone from finding any crucial evidence against him.

The Main Quest for Player in the Legendary Continent has ended!

Player in the Dawn and Black Rock phases received enormous rewards.

The huge experience rewards are enough for many people to win 4-5 levels in a row, but most people still level up their Skill first and then their character level.

Another benefit is that Player gain enough Contribution Points to completely upgrade their equipment, allowing the vast majority of Player to equip themselves with a set of Low-Class Blue Gear, or a Silver Weapon and half a set of Blue Gear.

Changli Jiugu, who ranked first in damage output, also received a Low-Class Epic-Class War Saber!

Second place goes to Little Ayin, with Dark-Gold Weapon.

Third place Emperor of Luck's Dream weapon, Dark-Gold Weapon.

The 4th to 10th places are all from Gold Weapon.

Ranks 10-100 are all Silver Weapon.

The Dawn Mercenary Group's incredibly generous rewards have made countless Player grateful to be members of the group.

Although many Player seem to have sensed something is wrong, because ' Black Rock ' seems to be planning to take action against Dawn.

The rewards are truly inspiring.

After the great battle, almost all the Player rushed to Dawn City, with only a Player remaining in Black Rock.

As for the Steel Players who were the losers, they suffered defeat after defeat, their Main Quest ended in failure, and they only received half of the final reward, making their situation extremely miserable.

Led by ' Light of Freedom ', the Player made a drastic decision and embarked on a long migration, leading 20,000 Player on a long journey from the Novice Village to the ' Emerald Grand Duchy ' in the north.

Regardless of whether they can succeed.

I'm definitely not staying here anymore, no matter what.

There's no way around it.

face.

stubborn.

capricious.

You won't die.

This is the source of the Player ' confidence.

This also reflects the freedom offered by virtual games today.

The so-called main storyline is no longer something that binds Player; a high degree of freedom is what makes a true virtual game. Otherwise, what's the point of playing a virtual game where players can only follow the main storyline?

Why play "Gods"? There are so many virtual games out there, why not just pick one?

Of the remaining tens of thousands of Player, only a small number chose to join Dawn City.

Because more and more people seem to see an opportunity, Black Rock is going to make a move against Dawn!

So they all joined the current Blackrock Duchy, hoping to avenge their previous humiliation.

Logically, Black Rock should be the executioner of the Steel Duchy's demise.

If Dawn City is truly going to war with Black Rock, why don't these Player choose to join Dawn and fight Black Rock?

Naturally, those Player didn't want to lose anymore...

They believed that Black Rock was a stronger nation and would definitely be able to defeat Dawn City.

After the Second Prince became King, although he did not change many policies and maintained the Nobles system, he began to accept the allegiance of the ' Chosen Ones ' and issued some missions from the southern grasslands.

In an instant.

Player from Dawn and Black Rock often meet in the grassland area while doing quests.

There's not much communication between Player; they'll start fighting at the drop of a hat.

And so.

The fighting intensified.

What started as small-scale group battles has evolved into major wars between small guilds.

This gradually evolved into faction wars involving large guilds, and even alliances among many large guilds.

And so, the Slaughter Plains was officially born.

This is the battlefield for the Player.

This is the Player's quest location.

This is the free zone, the killing zone, and the practice zone.

As for William, the mastermind behind it all, he simply watched with amusement.

"As long as the Health Bar keeps going, the battle Relentless. Don't be afraid to die. Fight more, practice more. It's better than getting beaten up in future National War and being powerless against the Dark Invasion!" William held his wine glass, gazing intently into the distance.

he.

Within six months.

That's the king here.

But he also needs to focus all his efforts on development to deal with the impending Dark Invasion.

After watching Avengers: Endgame, I have to say... it was freaking good! Out of 10, I'd give it a 9.9.

It's just that it's too tear-jerking, damn it, I really want to curse.
