Overlord Gadar saw that the Fallen Angel was still chatting with the White Dragon Saint.
He shouted in anger. "Let’s go, Lufasi!"
Gadar really couldn’t stand it anymore. The back of his head still hurt. Su Wan also appeared embarrassed.
She reminded herself that they were enemies, and she couldn’t appear soft-hearted. However, the hero of the Overlord before her seemed to know Xu Yuan and got along with the White Dragon Saint. So, Su Wan felt embarrassed that she had hit the Overlord on the head just a few moments ago.
When Gadar saw that Su Wan was embarrassed, his attitude became even more domineering.
Even though their heroes knew each other, Gadar wasn’t having any of it. He wouldn’t agree to form an alliance until Su Wan and her hero apologized to him!
However, Gadar found that his hero was still talking to the White Dragon Saint. "Lufasi!"
Gadar was furious. ’Does he think that the white dragon is his long-lost father?!’
When Su Wan saw this, she was disheartened. ’D*mn it! It’s all White’s fault. If he hadn’t come up with the stupid plan, we could have been allies! Maybe there is still hope of an alliance...’
Su Wan sighed regretfully. Unfortunately, there was no turning back.
Even if the Fallen Angel knew Xu Yuan and got along well with the White Dragon Saint, Lord Gadar didn’t want to cooperate with Su Wan.
At this time, the Fallen Angel finally turned to Gadar. He didn’t leave with his Lord as everyone expected. Instead, he hovered cross-legged in the air and waved lazily at Gadar.
"Lord, go do whatever you want for now," he said. "Don’t interfere with the grand plan of the Dark-Types."
"You should know as a Lord that the Dark-Type heroes don’t have an efficient system right now. Maybe in the future, it will be different. We can only hope..."
It was true. Light-Types and Dark-Types didn’t just have different attributes. They also had different sorts of systems by which they functioned. The Light-Types were more orderly and efficient, while the Dark-Types were absolutely chaotic.
The Light-Types had an order in place. They had the Light Council, the Twelve war generals, and other offshoot groups to handle different matters.
The Dark-Types didn’t have anything like that. They were too chaotic. They didn’t care about a system or an order. The only thing they ever did was fight each other on things they didn’t agree with.
Nobody could control them enough to keep order. Therefore, the Dark-Types had a long way to go until they learned to govern themselves and form an efficient system.
And now, to fight and resist the Light-Types, the Fallen Angel and the White Dragon Saint felt that they needed a specific system in place with the Dark demon Dragon as their core and supreme ruler.
Their abilities weren’t as strong as some of the Dark-Type heroes, but they were strong enough to be one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness in the future.
Lord Gadar was perplexed. His own hero was shamelessly joining the enemy and abandoning him!
Gadar’s face kept changing from shock to anger to disappointment.
Su Wan, after having dealt with the White Dragon Saint for a while, understood his thought process. Although he was a white dragon, he was still a Dark-Type hero. No matter how much "white" he had in his name, his heart was as black as night.
The Fallen Angel and the White Dragon Saint probably weren’t as simple as they seemed.
Gadar reluctantly accepted his fate. Although he had a huge army, he knew he had no chance of winning without the Fallen Angel by his side. His Competition Gem had been stolen too!
"In short, that’s our plan!" said the White Dragon Saint to the Fallen Angel as he finished explaining their plan for the competition.
"Alright!" said the Fallen Angel.
Lord Gadar was stumped. ’So, they plan to rob the gems of all the other Lords. That way they would have 0 points. But there is still a chance to make it to the Top Three!’
According to the White Dragon Saint’s plan, everyone’s gems would be snatched away.
In the end, only Su Wan would have a gem. She would gain one point while the others would be at zero.
’Then, how will the top three people be decided?’ Gadar wondered.
Su Wan would definitely bag the first place because she would be the only one with the gem. The rest would be at zero. So, who would be in second and third place?
"There’s still a chance!" Gadar muttered softly.
He was determined. He clenched his fists in anticipation. If everyone had zero points, Gadar would still get the chance to rob a gem from someone and gain a point!
Thus, in this way, Gadar was tricked by the White Dragon Saint into joining them. Their robber party had two more new members.
...
In Su Wan’s territory, the dwarves had already smelted the gem and reforged it according to Xu Yuan’s instructions.
It was remade into a building upgrade stone.
[Building Upgrade Stone: It can directly upgrade all buildings except the Territory Core by one level.]
After Su Wan and Xu Yuan saw the panel, they knew they had succeeded.
"That’s great!" Su Wan carried Xu Yuan in her arms and twirled around. "Xu Yuan, how should we use this building upgrade stone?"
Su Wan was already fantasizing about which building she wanted to upgrade. "Should we upgrade the city walls first?"
Su Wan thought that, on the attack front, her troops were already strong enough. She had Dark Dragon Knights and Black Gold behemoths. She even had someone as powerful as the White Dragon Saint. Also, Xu Yuan’s Demonic Dragon’s Blessing always came in handy!
She wanted to focus on defense now. If the enemies stormed her territory in her absence and destroyed the Territory Core, it would be bad.
Su Wan earnestly explained the benefits of fortifying the city walls to convince Xu Yuan. "If we upgrade the city walls, we might get cannons too! If an enemy approaches, we can always fire at them! It might also be possible that the city walls will be upgraded into real iron walls!"
Xu Yuan thought that her reasoning was nonsensical. Xu Yuan never planned to have important things like the Territory Core on the surface. He wanted to securely move it to the underground. He still had the eighteen-leveled territory blueprint in mind.
He would continue expanding the territory downward. How cool would it be to have a territory like the eighteen levels of hell?!
Therefore, Su Wan’s worries about the enemies storming and raiding the territory were foolish. Xu Yuan’s heart wasn’t in it.
Su Wan was unaware of Xu Yuan’s plan. Seeing that he didn’t respond, she took it to mean that he agreed with her.
So, Su Wan upgraded the city walls.
