Before the campaign
The Chosen of the Gods Camp.
This is a military camp built by the players themselves.
Other players are enthusiastically building various weapons of war; if time weren't limited, they could even build a steam engine.
Everyone is very enthusiastic about this faction war, not only because of the generous rewards, but also because they can get equipment, skills (class inheritance), gold coins, and more.
And because this is a main quest, there's a lot of experience to be gained.
Furthermore, since this is the main quest before the guild system is launched, many people with real-life wealth or game streamers have begun to prepare to establish game guilds. As the chosen one of the God of Judgment and Saintess Candidate, Jiang Weiyang and others are highly sought after by players, who have all extended invitations to them.
Who wouldn't like a girl who's both beautiful and talented?
However, Jiang Weiyang refused without hesitation. She wanted to wait until after the war to ask her brother if he wanted to establish a guild.
Strangely enough, ever since her older brother helped her become Saintess Candidate, he hasn't Meeting her in the game.
The only proof of this older brother's existence was the occasional notification from his in-game friends.
"They're so mysterious, I have no idea what they're doing."
Jiang Weiyang pouted.
The day after receiving the game notification.
Princess Anthea arrived at the Chosen of the Gods' camp. When she entered, she found that, just as "Ma Lou Is Not a Monkey" had said, the players were very self-reliant. As long as they were given a piece of land, they could build their own barracks and provide for their own food.
This is simply a chosen beast of burden!
She had come to boost morale, and had even deliberately worn that shameful dress.
When she arrived, she discovered that the players were all highly motivated and didn't need her encouragement.
The male players let out wolf howls and declared that they had won the battle of subjugation.
Anthea stood on the high platform, looking at the Chosen of the Gods soldiers, took a deep breath, and spoke.
"My Chosen of the Gods warriors, I originally came to inspire your morale and encourage you to fight bravely, but now I realize that I don't need to do so. You are all the bravest people; it's just a matter of whether you are willing to be."
"Thank you for your help, Chosen of the Gods. Is there anything else you need? Please tell me, and I will certainly fulfill it!"
"Princess, we need a resounding slogan!"
From the group of players closest to the platform, someone named "Hehe I'm Just Handsome" shouted.
"Slogan?"
Anthea was puzzled.
Wasn't her slogan "Restore the Kingdom"?
But before she could even speak, the room erupted in chaos. The players first discussed the situation, then started arguing, and finally began fighting.
She was completely stunned.
"This is so chaotic, are they really capable?"
After a while, a guy named "Applaud My Brother" ran over and said to her.
"Princess, let's cast our vote on the official website first, and then we'll shout it out when we set off tomorrow."
"Ha?"
The faction war has begun, and there's a lot of discussion about it on the official website.
Players from the princess faction posted a video of Anthea wearing that outfit online, and the opposing faction players collapsed without a fight!
"Damn it, why is our faction leader such a decrepit old man!"
"No, I don't want war, I want peace, I want a princess!"
"Why did I choose this place in the first place? And now I can't even change sides!"
Voting on the "slogan" also began and was successfully completed.
Day three.
The army assembled Prolaine City.
This time, the mysterious and reclusive Knight King Artoria also appeared beside Anthea with his personal Knight.
On the city wall.
She gripped her longsword, her gaze sweeping over the chaotic, ocean-like army of Chosen of the Gods below the city, finally settling on Jiang Weiyang in a corner.
(I need to sort out the plot these next couple of days and speed things up.)
