As one of the most critical settings in "God's Domain", the territory has a very important status, and the same is true for the corresponding or directly related lords. In fact, while the system gives the lords a large amount of authority, it also
Detailed and strict regulations have even been made for some special circumstances.
For example, the previous lord of the Carlton Territory, even if he had a high chance of being re-elected, unexpectedly encountered an accident in reality, there was no postponement of the lord election.
However, the monthly lord election cannot be said to be unstoppable, because in one case it will not be held, nor will it be postponed or otherwise, but will be completely canceled and will not be resumed until next month.
Normally, this situation is a simple phrase with only two words, that is——
war.
"God's Domain" has such a provision regarding lords: each lord has the right to declare war on several other territories including neutral territories during each term of office. If the other party accepts, the two parties will enter a state of war. If the other party refuses, the two parties will enter a state of war.
No lord election will be held under a state of cancellation or unilateral aggression, war or aggression. The term of the current lord will be extended to next month, but the tax reward that should have been received at the end of the term will be cancelled, and used as war funds.
This provision clearly states the relationship between war and lords. As for whether waging war is good or bad for lords, in most cases it is obviously more bad.
It is undeniable that launching a war can indeed allow the lord to directly obtain the equivalent of two terms without going through elections, but don’t forget that the lord can be re-elected easily, not to mention that after launching the war, the lord will lose the tax reward of two terms.
, this is definitely not a loss that can be described as "innocuous" or "not big."
I believe some people will say that once a lord knows that he has lost power, he can just launch a war to temporarily be safe and give him enough time to turn around. That's right, but things are not that simple.
What you must first know is that there is an essential difference between a state of war and a state of aggression. War is a matter between two territories, while aggression will become a matter for all territories. To put it in a little more detail, the territory that launches the invasion will automatically
Enter a state of war with all territories.
It is undoubtedly the stupidest behavior to be outnumbered when the strength is equal. Therefore, a major prerequisite for a lord to launch a war is to have a goal and a target that can be fought.
In addition, and more importantly, the capture of cities is allowed in a state of war. This is also the biggest difference in friction between territories in peacetime. If it enters a state of war, it is not a matter for the lord alone. Players in the entire territory must fight for it.
When it comes to action, it can be defensive, offensive, or sneak attack.
This means that if the lord blindly launches a war and fails to convince the public, it is likely that there will be very few players to respond, which will lead to the loss of the city or even the main city of the territory. Then let alone want to be re-elected, can he continue to be in the army?
Staying in the game is bound to become a problem.
After all, facing a lord who has lost support, no one would mind earning a considerable amount of extra money from him, and there is no limit to the number of rewards for killing a lord.
Therefore, for lords who want to start a war, how to convince the players in the territory is a crucial issue. Ye Shang went offline early after the duel with Bingyu just to verify this matter.
He suspected that the attack by Carlton players tonight was not a mere coincidence. To put it more directly, he suspected that this was a plan by Hellfire, the current lord of Ascart Territory, to launch a war against Carlton Territory.
Ye Shang naturally thought so for no reason. In fact, he felt something was wrong as early as when he heard that there were many special boss-level creatures appearing on the border, and someone revealed a hidden career transfer book.
This is actually not the first time that special boss-level creatures have appeared. When Ye Shang was online at night, he would occasionally hear news about a certain team encountering some powerful boss, and then being wiped out or making some gains.
, but it is completely unprecedented for many special boss-level creatures to appear in one place at the same time, and it is at such a sensitive location along the border.
Taking a step back, Ye Shang doesn't think that special boss-level creatures can reveal the job transfer book of hidden professions. As for why it is the job transfer book of hidden professions instead of the more popular divine weapons or heroic weapons, the reasons can be
As you can imagine, players who have obtained divine weapons or heroic weapons will be forced to appear on the system's list, and hidden professions cannot be verified immediately.
Because of this, Ye Shang felt that something was wrong. He could only say that the rumor was a bit too much and did not have any supporting evidence.
If Ye Shang just felt something was wrong after hearing the news, then he was attacked by players from the Carlton Territory, which made him suspicious. After all, these players from the Carlton Territory came without any warning. At that time, Bingyu's
The team has not really reached the borderline, so there is no reason to encounter an enemy of this size.
In comparison, Ye Shang felt that it was more like these players from the Carlton Territory had figured out the whereabouts of the Ice Whisper team and had deliberately set up an ambush.
In this way, how these players in the Carlton Territory mastered the whereabouts of the Ice Whisper team has become the key to the problem. Ye Shang does not deny the possibility of individual team members betraying them, but it is not big. How can the entire team except him and
Outside of Lan, all the first-line players of the Hellfire Guild have a certain degree of credibility, and how an ordinary player can instigate the Carlton Territory to send out a group of players with high levels of equipment is also a big problem.
If the person who leaked the whereabouts of the Ice Whisper team was the president of the Hellfire Guild and the current Hellfire of the Ascart Territory, then all problems would be solved.
After leaving the game, taking off the headband-like neural connection device, and after the slight dizziness passed, Ye Shang sat down in front of the newly purchased computer, pressed the power button, and entered the desktop screen in less than ten seconds.
, the difference between it and the old computer that was just phased out is as big as the sky and the center of the earth.
"It seems that the ten thousand yuan was well spent." Looking at the computer host that was running silently, Ye Shang said to himself with a slight smile.
By the way, Ye Shang fulfilled his promise and bought a similar computer for his sister Ye Qian. In his impression, it also came with a neural connection device for "God's Domain", which is a popular and popular virtual game as a gift, which can be regarded as a gift.
Very good marketing tool.
But Ye Shang didn't think that Ye Qian knew how to play, not to mention that judging from her usual words and deeds, this sister who wore safety pants probably hated games, and her lack of experience alone was what prevented her from playing games.
It’s a big obstacle. The difficulty of getting started with “God’s Domain” is recognized as quite high.
Ye Shang had no intention of asking Ye Qian to play with him. It was better to just let nature take its course. In fact, personally, his motivation for entering "God's Domain" in the first place could not be said to be pure.
Without thinking too much about whether Ye Qian should play "God's Domain", Ye Shang skillfully opened the page, entered the official website address, clicked on the forum, and then entered the Ascart Territory area. Soon, he
I found what I was looking for in the previous posts——
"Big news! 'Beauty Zero' Bingyu's team was almost wiped out by the players in Carlton Territory!"
A very eye-catching red title, the kind that even if you don’t pay attention to it, Ye Shang casually clicked on the post and found that there was no text content in it, only a video of less than thirty seconds, and the video content was from Surrounding Bingyu Team
The whole process from the appearance of the players in Carlton Territory to the successful breakout, and the second half was shot from the perspective of a corpse.
After watching the video, Ye Shang did not follow the replies and close the page as usual, because he had already verified his suspicion.
Ye Shang is now basically certain that the reason why Bingyu's team was surrounded by players from the Carlton Territory was the work of Hellfire. The reason why he did this is also obvious. It was precisely because he wanted to launch an attack on the Carlton Territory.
War, to be more precise, is about creating reasons to convince players.
The lord's sister and dozens of front-line members of the Hellfire Guild were killed by players in Carlton Territory. There is no doubt that Hellfire can legitimately launch a war against Carlton Territory.
Of course, this is the result of the Hellfire Plan. The real ending is that Bingyu successfully escapes with Lan in Ye Shang's arms. Fortunately, this part was not captured in the video, otherwise all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred would probably have appeared at this time.
There is no need to doubt the popularity of "Beauty Zero" in the Ascart territory, especially among male players.
"Am I being nosy?" Ye Shang, who was sitting in front of the computer, shrugged and raised a smile that didn't know whether to say it didn't matter or didn't care.
It is natural for the Hellfire Society to want to launch a war against Carlton's territory. He has lost a lot of votes after being killed by "Night Dire". If he wants to keep his position as lord, he can only prove it by killing "Night Dire".
There are two ways to automatically extend the term: just an accident or starting a war.
Unfortunately, Hellfire has no way of knowing who the "Night Dire" is, and there is not enough time for him to investigate, so the only way left is to start a war.
Hellfire's intention can be described as Sima Zhao's intention. Anyone who is smart can roughly feel it. At this point, some people may think that he will definitely encounter a lot of resistance when he launches a war. But in fact, he will not. You can guess it.
One thing, saying it or not is another thing. Without evidence, no one will stand up and take the lead, let alone——
