"My lord, I have a favor to ask."
Bai Yung said aloud.
"That's a first."
"What is it?"
Zhou Zhou replied as he stood up.
"My lord, please drop the others from the First Army."
"Their minds will crumble if they keep experiencing death over and over again."
The commander of the First Army spoke out for his subordinates.
"Alright."
"From henceforth, only the top 5 strongest fighters in the city would form the First Army."
Zhou Zhou accepted Bai Yung's request.
With the other soldiers barely hanging on, he wasn't opposed to leaving them out of the First Army.
"Thank you, my lord."
Bai Yung bowed, his eyes no longer containing its usual light.
"Return."
Reciting the exit word, Zhou Zhou and his soldiers vanished from the battlefield.

Nether Bark Kingdom
"So, the human is off limits, then?"
Floyd asked Pope Cronin.
"That's right."
"However, if he ever attacks our kingdom, we'll have no choice but to take action."
Pope Cronin said to his successor.
"Well, if we can't attack the human lord, we just have to make someone else do it."
"Give the order, I'll lead an attack on the Aurora Kingdom."
Floyd tapped the armrest of his chair.
"What would that achieve? Other than receiving the ire of the Tahan Kingdom for meddling in their affair."
Pope Cronin questioned.
"The territory of the human lord is just beside the Auro Kingdom, once it falls, the Tahan Kingdom would ensure the lord on the side of the Supreme Will dies."
"Quickening the process is the least of what I can offer."
Floyd answered with a smile.
"We can't gamble the lives of our people for something so petty. The human lord will refrain from attacking us, and we'll do the same."
"What we should be focusing on is assisting the young one acquire a better position in the myriad races' lord battlefield event."
Pope Cronin said, concluding the discussion.
"Fine."
"You're the Pope."
Floyd stood up as he clicked his tongue.

Dark Night Town
Reading the message sent from his lord, Dai Lui looked up at the delegate sent by King Tahan.
"The price of the weapon has now been specified. It will be traded for 50 Diamond-tier corpses of Aurora Kingdom's lords."
He said to the delegate.
Hearing the words of the Sraol after over twenty minutes of negotiations, the delegate frowned.
'The deal is beneficial to the kingdom, but providing the corpses is the difficult part.'
"We don't have that many corpses of the Aurora Kingdom. Can the price specifics be changed?"
He asked.
"Won't you have them once you take down the Aurora Kingdom?"
Dai Lui asked.
"You're willing to give it to us in advance?"
The delegate was now shocked.
"We're confident we can make the Tahan Kingdom spit out a much bigger compensation for defaulting on its promise."
Dai Lui stared straight at the delegate as he uttered.
"…We'll complete our part of the bargain, I promise."
Swallowing hard, the delegate gave his word.
"That's good to know."
Dai Lui nodded before placing the spatial ring carrying the Aurora Tower on the table and walking out of the tent set up for his negotiation with the delegate.
"With this, we can eliminate the heroes of the Aurora Kingdom."
"The Aurora Kingdom will be ours!"
The delegate clenched his fists in excitement.
With his designated time of five hours almost up, Dai Lui left the Dark Night Town with Lu Sheng and Loth.
.
With 3 hours remaining until his meeting with the medical geniuses, Zhou Zhou remained in the war room with just Lu Chong, Bai Yung and Feng Huo.
The other soldiers have all been sent back to the base as reserves.
Although the First Army is now structured to contain only the five strongest combatants in the city, the minimum requirement is for them to have a law skill.
So, for now the First Army only contained three combatants.
"Still short of 500,000 battlefield points to acquire the entire goods in the battlefield shop."
Zhou Zhou muttered as he went through the myriad races' lord battlefield functions in his lord interface.
Concluding his business on the battlefield shop, he returned to the myriad lord races battlefield function.
Having a clue of how the matchup algorithm works, he was certain he wouldn't be facing True in his next match.
"If the algorithm only works using the opponents previously encountered, then there's a chance of matching up against True."
"However, the algorithm also uses rank placement to match opponents."
"Although, there's also the number of lords in a matchup poll. If there's only True and I selecting an opponent, we'll definitely encounter each other."
Hitting on the matchup option with a thought, he began waiting for his opponent while reading the ninth volume of the Index of All Races.
[Matching with your opponent...]
.
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Zhou still hasn't been paired with an opponent.
"Are the lords avoiding battle? Or does the algorithm think none in the poll are qualified to face me?"
Staring at the notification in front of him, he muttered.
Refocusing on his book, he continued waiting for the selection of his opponent.
Stabilizing his breakthrough, Bai Yung sat cross-legged on the ground while Lu Chong and Feng Huo discussed the godhood path.
