A world announcement resounds, shocking everyone.
The second kingdom in the game has finally appeared. Unlike the First Dynasty, which casually killed an elite Earth Dragon to establish the kingdom, the Dragon Soaring Knights defeated a real BOSS-level White Dragon and even effortlessly defeated another powerful guild, the Azure Dragon Association.
They killed hundreds.
This nation-establishment event can be said to have far-reaching impacts. In the history of the game, Old Soil, it is definitely a milestone event.
No sooner had the announcement ended than several more messages appeared on everyone’s screens.
System prompt: Your guild has successfully established a kingdom. You have automatically become a member of this kingdom. You have not been appointed any official position or military rank yet. You can check in the system or apply to the king.
All-server announcement: The First Dynasty congratulates the establishment of Dragon Soaring Country, wishing us to join hands in maintaining game order and building a harmonious paradise.
All-server announcement: Aoao Niubi Empire congratulates the establishment of Dragon Soaring Country. Brothers of Long Xingtianxia, interested in having a chat? How about we cooperate?
All-server announcement: Former Alliance congratulates the establishment of Dragon Soaring Country...
Xiao Jie, looking at the continuously emerging messages, thought to himself, are these guild leaders so generous?
You should know that sending a single all-server announcement costs 100 taels of silver, that’s over a million!
These three guilds are indeed lavish, spending over a million just on congratulatory words.
But what do these three guilds have in mind by congratulating Dragon Soaring on establishing a nation? Xiao Jie was somewhat puzzled, but after thinking briefly, he also considered a possibility.
He had seen information about these three guilds in the Dragon Soaring’s database.
All three guilds are developed in Longhua State; their strengths are quite formidable. Initially, Aoao Niubi Empire was the strongest, but since the First Dynasty established a nation and aggressively expanded, it has now become the largest guild in the game.
It is said that the other two guilds have already united to confront it; they are currently at a stalemate.
Could it be that these three guilds want to pull in external Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free! They probably do not want anyone to intervene in the civil war in Longhua State at all.
Perhaps the First Dynasty has already gained the upper hand, hence sending such placating words to Dragon Soaring...
However, Xiao Jie didn’t spend too much thought on this matter. Such issues are for Long Xingtianxia to consider. At the moment, the nation-establishment ceremony was still ongoing.
The State Governor saw Long Xingtianxia take over the Dragon Flag and nodded slightly.
"Dragon General, in the past, I was the State Governor, and you were the General, our relationship was one of superior and subordinate. Now that you have established your own kingdom, you should be addressed as the king in the future.
Based on our statuses, I shouldn’t be preaching as an elder, but concerning the rise and fall of the human path, I have to give you some advice. If you are willing to listen, listen; if you insist on going your own way, it is your freedom."
Long Xingtianxia respectfully said, "Lord Governor, please speak your guidance."
"Hehe, I dare not call it guidance, it’s just a few suggestions. When the Longhua Empire was established, Ancestor Dragon swept through the lands with Overbearing Ways, conquered Seven States, and integrated the Eight Wildernesses, founding the thousands of years foundation of Longhua Empire."
However, times have changed. When Longhua Empire was established, it was during an era of warlords’ strife. Ancestor Dragon established the empire with dominance out of necessity, using strong Combat Power to shock the warlords, and unify the world.
However, nowadays the population in the Land of Nine States is dwindling, the Group of Immortals are in hiding, the people are scattered, distressed, and with humanity already declining. If the calamity of war is recklessly initiated again, I fear there won’t be much vitality left in Nine States Human Clan.
In my view, Dragon General should establish the King’s Way straightforwardly. If you can reclaim the lost territories, gather refugees, suppress demons, and purify the world with the King’s Way as your priority, then there can be a brilliant future.
When the masses eventually look up to you, and people willingly submit, wherever the royal army goes, it would just take proclamations to stabilize. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? It would also avoid the smoke of war and the suffering of the living beings."
Long Xingtianxia said solemnly, "Lord Governor’s teachings, I will definitely bear in mind."
The State Governor nodded, "With your words, that’s enough. You may go."
Long Xingtianxia walked back among the people, and everyone immediately gathered around.
"How’s it Guild Leader, what functions does this national system have?"
"Guild Leader, can you appoint me as a General? I just want to lead troops in battle."
"Guild Leader, where do we get our territory from? Isn’t it said that once we establish a nation, we can conquer the world?"
Facing a series of inquiries, Long Xingtianxia was also helpless, "I’m still studying it too. Everyone open up the national system and discuss with each other."
Xiao Jie also opened the national system.
This system is newly introduced, only available to those who have joined a nation.
[Dragon Soaring Country (Commoner Country)
Player Identity: Commoner (No official position).
National Population: 237.
National Capital: Not set.
National Territory: None.
King’s Path Value: 0/100%.
Overbearing Value: 0/100%...]
Xiao Jie studied the national system and discussed with other players, quickly understanding some of the settings of this national system.
First is the Country Level, which has five levels.
Commoner Country — Territory Country — Vassal State — Kingdom — Empire.
To upgrade the nation, certain conditions must be met; the most basic are territory and population. For a Territory Country, at least one town must be owned as a territory.
