Orc Continent, Tianlang Empire.

In the towering palace, there are old and young people playing chess.

"I lost..."

Dean shook his head helplessly, and he never won a game of chess with his father.

Logically speaking, it should be boring to keep winning, right? After all, there is no challenge.

But why did his father like to play chess with him when he was fine, and he would never give up every time he didn't kill him.

This made Dean very depressed, but who made the other party his father? He had to hold back his depression.

"Ha ha!"

White looked very happy after winning another game for his son.

"Father, the ranking battle is almost over."

The chess game is over, so it's time to discuss the main business.

"It's almost over!"

Hearing Dean's words, White's eyes were in a moment of trance.

If I remember correctly, this should be the twelfth ranking battle since he ascended the throne. It has been so many years in a flash!

"Yes, but because of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, the ranking battle of this session is more intense than ever. In the end, there are less than 100 kingdoms left, with only 87 left..."

Dean spoke with a headache.

Although he was talking about the reason for the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, he knew that the ultimate reason was because their Tianlang Empire was pushing behind it.

The intensity of this world is far beyond his imagination.

He vaguely remembered the last ranking war, ten years ago, at the end, there were still 106 kingdoms left. At that time, the Flying Wolf Cavalry was dispatched to clear the remaining six kingdoms.

And this time, there were only eighty-seven kingdoms left, and even one hundred could not be gathered together.

Of course, this does not mean that all the countries were destroyed, but some orcs chose to surrender to other kingdoms.

But no matter what, this ranking battle should be the biggest casualties in the past few hundred years.

It is impossible to say that so many people died in war without any touch, but Dean also knew that this rule passed down from his ancestors must have its own truth. After he took over his father's position, he would know the reason.

"So many people died..."

When White heard Dean's words, hesitated.

He hasn't paid much attention to the outside world these days. He remembered that the last time he learned about it, there were still 110 countries. In just a few days, there were so many missing.

However, compared to Dean, White did not have much pity for these disappeared countries and the dead orcs. After all, he had seen too many such things.

"Have there any changes in the top ten kingdoms?"

White has been slowly leaving Dean to take care of the recent events, so there are many things he has not taken the initiative to understand.

"There are only two left, first and fourth respectively, and the rest... are all replaced!"

Speaking of these, Dean still feels a little unreal.

Which of these top ten kingdoms is not deeply rooted and has accumulated over the years.

Theoretically speaking, as long as they do not have internal conflicts, even if they have a few more ranking wars, it is impossible for the kingdom to shake their status. However, unexpectedly, the emergence of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce instantly broke this balance.

The food, weapons, etc. sold by the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce not only greatly improved the combat power of countries other than ten, but also caused some different ideas to the top ten kingdoms.

After all, I didn’t fight before, because I knew I couldn’t fight. Now I have a chance. Isn’t this a try?

Therefore, these top ten kingdoms not only have to face external challenges, but also have to beware of stabbing their "owners" in the back!

In such an environment, eight of the top ten were eliminated!

The first and fourth places were difficult to defend, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were seriously injured. If they hadn't had their deep foundation and at a critical moment, they had also bought equipment from the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, otherwise they might have been besieged to death by other countries!

I have to say that the kingdom of this ranking war is so united!

There has been almost no cooperation before, and the only few times that have happened, people have been stabbed in the knife.

If you insist on whether there are positive examples of cooperation, there are, for example, the alliance formed by their top ten kingdoms is barely considered.

But they only have one cooperation, that is, not to attack each other, that's all.

But in this ranking battle, the situation was different. Those kingdoms that bought the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, especially those who obtained star members, claimed to be the Red Leaf faction and regarded the king who also obtained star members as their own people.

Since you are your own people, then cooperate!

So, when these "our own people" unite, these top ten kingdoms could not bear it.

In the end, only the first and fourth places in the top ten persisted until the end.

The first place was persisted with a deep foundation, while the fourth place was much smarter. Since you can't beat them, then join them!

After paying a sky-high order to the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, the fourth kingdom got a star member badge as he wished. From now on, he is also "his own person"!

Seeing this, other kingdoms were a little unhappy, but they agreed not to attack their own people, so they had no choice but to give up attacking fourth place.

Of course, there are only ten positions in the top ten, not the first place. There are only seven positions left in the fourth place and the original tenth place.

So some countries merged and established the Kingdom of Republic, which put an unsatisfactory end to this ranking battle.

"This result is pretty good."

White nodded with satisfaction.

With so many people dead, he didn't seem to care at all.

After all, his purpose is to consume part of the population.

"By the way, my father, what do you think of the steam car I gave you?"

Dean asked suddenly.

He bought a lot of things from the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, including many steam cars, one of which was specially made by him.

"Haha, that thing is quite interesting!"

Speaking of steaming cars, White showed an interesting look on his face, as if he had seen a big toy.

Although this thing is much weaker in terms of mobility and combat power than their flying wolf riders, this thing can be bought with gold coins, which is an advantage. After all, their flying wolf is very precious.

"We can buy more, and we can equipment ordinary soldiers, which can increase the speed of travel."

Dean said.

"Well, you can buy it, but you didn't think about imitating it?"

White looked at Dean with interest.

"I'm going to tell you this... I've tried it, but... I can't copy it!"

Dean shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Oh? What's the problem?"

White asked curiously.

"The main problem is a kind of thing called 'spring' in steaming cars. This thing looks very simple, but our blacksmith can't make it anyway. At most, it just looks like it, but its actual effect is far inferior... It is probably why the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce can sell steaming cars with confidence, just like our secret stone equipment, and we are not afraid of imitation at all..."

Dean said helplessly.

"This is normal. After all, those who come out to do business will definitely have a special skill. But it's just a steamer. Just buy it. We're not short of this money."

Huaiti nodded and said with a domineering attitude.

"Father, I always think that this Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is not that simple. There is definitely a huge force behind them, not even weaker than our Tianlang Empire. For example, these steamed cars look simple, but we can't imitate this small spring..."

Since he talked about the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, Dean mentioned again about the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce.

Since returning last time, although Dean has not contacted the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce again, he knew from the great businessman Zhang Feng that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is definitely not simple, and there is definitely a huge hidden force behind them!

But when he told his father about his inferences, his father looked at him like a fool.

Dean knew that his father still didn't believe it, but he saw it with his own eyes. He wouldn't believe it if he had no power behind this mysterious Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, Zhang Feng vaguely said that he was doing business elsewhere and had just come to the Orc Continent for not long. This evidence is not obvious enough!

However, his father, White, the emperor of the Tianlang Empire, still shook his head with a smile.

"Dion, I believe you said that there is power behind the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, but I don't believe you said that the power behind it is comparable to our Tianlang Empire, and even stronger than the Tianlang Empire. This is not arrogant. You will understand after you take over my position."

White looked at Dean with a smile and said, facing Dean who had always wanted to convince him, he showed no sign of being angry.

Because many years ago, he treated his father like this. His father told him that the world is big, but it is very small for the Tianlang Empire.

He didn't believe it until he inherited the throne of emperor that he knew that it was true.

"Okay, the ranking battle is almost over. We are going to send the rewards, right?"

Seeing that his father could not convince him to attach importance to the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, Dean had to give up for the time being, so he had to discuss the matter.

"Well, you will pay the rewards for this session. Can you complete the task?"

King White asked looking at Dean.
