Chapter 628: Chapter 285 The Boastful Imperialism_2

At that moment, Phoenix directly told him the probability and then said, "Probability is just probability, but it doesn’t mean you can only draw it in the later stages."

He just happened to draw it now, hitting the mark on the first try.

Theoretically, it was indeed possible.

However, Gao Xin rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, fine, have it your way."

"You don’t need it, right? If you don’t need it, then it’s as good as not having it!"

Phoenix smiled, "Exactly, not using it is as good as not having it. You really think like a veteran of national battles."

"Tai Sui, do you want to join my Black Empire? Yak, you can come too if you want."

"This game, you can completely ignore your own faction and just help the enemy, since factions can be changed."

"Now Black Pearl and Big White Shark have already decided to help the Black Empire win, even though they’re currently White Emperor players."

"If you two join, our Black Empire will become the strongest nation. Plus, with the True Dragon Card as our ace, our chances of winning are very high."

Gao Xin pondered, this game indeed allowed alliances regardless of empire affiliations.

One could entirely be physically in one camp but have their loyalty in another, then switch sides during the second phase of peace.

However, there was risk involved, because if one didn’t switch back in time and lost, death was the outcome.

Unless one became a traitor, who could change factions at the crucial moment when close to losing.

Black Pearl was a White Emperor player, but was kicked out by Sivina; Big White Shark was also a White Emperor player but was kicked out by Sivina as well...

Since these two had decided to help the Black Empire win, the Black Empire’s forces were not weak at all.

Gao Xin immediately said to Yak beside him, "Yak, stay here, I’m going to the main city."

"By the way, do you want an apple or a pear?"

Yak whispered, "I’d like an orange."

Gao Xin nodded and dove into the passage.

An orange is the True Image.

So what Yak meant was, the combat card he drew the third time was a True Image Card.

Lucky him, Young Elephant, Hidden Dragon, True Image, two of which were useful cards.

Even the Young Elephant was a useful card, because he himself was a Young Elephant. He had revealed it earlier, which even helped corroborate his identity as a White Emperor player.

In contrast, Gao Xin’s three cards were useless, two Young Elephant cards and one Young Tiger card.

If one had to speak of their value, it would be that two Young Elephant cards could help corroborate Yak’s identity... proving he was at his own stronghold.

They were still useful cards for Yak!

Could it be that Yak isn’t just a combat god but also a card-drawing god?

Or perhaps, it’s really just good luck that made him a Divine being, as being chosen by a divine fragment itself was also a highly improbable event.

...

Gao Xin rushed back to the White Emperor Main City, wanting to inform Sivina about the situation of other empires.

But as soon as he arrived, he saw Sivina standing outside the main city gate in the wilderness, cursing loudly.

"I’m going to flatten you, Lightning Arrow Lester. You’re finished!"

"Declare war! Declare it now!"

Gao Xin was startled and quickly grabbed Sivina, who was about to charge to the Green Empire, and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Only then did he notice in the wilderness, three Authority Angels of Hidden Dragon level towering in the sky.

And in the Magma Lake below, there lay a huge crocodile corpse, mutilated and bloodless, seemingly incorporating cybernetic structures.

A great battle had taken place here, and even the Authority Angels bore wounds, significantly damaged.

Sivina furiously said, "What else could it be? Monsters were farmed! I barely managed to kill a Hidden Dragon level crocodile, and the card was stolen!"

"It was Lester who stole it. Let’s declare war on the Green Empire directly!"

She glared at the gates of the Green Empire, fuming with rage.

Gao Xin frowned, "Hold on, cool down a bit."

"Are you saying your farmed monster dropped a card, and it was stolen? You had four Authority Angels and you couldn’t outrun a Quasi-Elephant King?"

Sivina angrily said, "This rat, he’s best at lurking and speed. I was already very careful, yet he still got to it."

"The angels can’t touch combat cards; only a player can directly contact them, and during the peace phase, players cannot harm other players."

"He picked the perfect moment to strike, suddenly appearing and crashing into my fist. Instinctively, I dodged, and that allowed him to touch the card," Tai Sui said.

Gao Xin frowned, having not expected such an incident to occur. The left and right wings outpost had one flaw—it was too enclosed, far from the wild areas.

There were only two long passages at the left and right wings outpost, surrounded by walls on all sides.

The only access to the central area was the main gate of the main city.

That meant, the situation in the wild areas could only be known by those stationed in the main city.

Sivina calmly explained what had happened.

After they had split up, she was bored alone in the main city and went out to hunt in the wild.

First, she hunted a Tiger-level crocodile, and during the third drawing of cards, a Hidden Dragon-level crocodile appeared.

Thrilled, Sivina released all three Hidden Dragon cards along with herself, equating to four Hidden Dragons.

The crocodile was no match and was quickly slain.

However, Lester suddenly appeared, bypassed the Authority Angel’s surveillance field, and swiftly reached for the dropped Hidden Dragon combat card.

Whomever touched the dropped cards first owned them, and one-on-one, Sivina couldn’t outmatch Lester.

While it was too soon to judge their combat strength, this guy’s speed and stealth abilities were certainly exceptional.

Coupled with his use of a bow and arrow, he was probably specialized in sneak attacks.

Having played many games, Gao Xin knew that in a game, seemingly weaker players often had their own strengths that led the field.

For instance, in the game ’Do or Die,’ Iron Hand had the strongest firepower and could self-destruct. Lin An was the fastest and had an active exoskeleton.

Even the Black Knight, a border SR, was the first to break into Elephant Level.

He was also skilled at using modules like the Human Body Insect Nest; if operated well, the Black Knight could use insects to secretly observe others’ data in the rooms, but he was restricted right from the start by Gao Xin’s made-up rule of ’not opening doors with people,’ and later, he was critically injured too early and targeted until his demise.

In light of all this, though Lightning Arrow Lester was only a Quasi-Elephant King, how could someone who had slain a Hidden Dragon be just another character?

Having snatched the card in front of four Hidden Dragons, he certainly had a formidable trick up his sleeve.

In this game, Gao Xin didn’t dare underestimate any of the Quasi-Elephant Kings, whereas Sivina and Black Pearl, the two female Hidden Dragons who clashed right at the start, might truly be naïve...

Contemplating, Gao Xin said, "In that case, Lester now has a Hidden Dragon card as well."

"Who else is a Hidden Dragon in this game? Do you know?"

Gao Xin wanted to thoroughly understand these people.

Sivina immediately responded, "I think it’s just Black Pearl and me? Just the two of us as Hidden Dragons."

Gao Xin pressed, "Are you sure? In this game, levels are very important!"

Sivina affirmed, "It should be fine. Mandala is a Viscount from the Evil Dragon Castle. If he were a Hidden Dragon, he would have ascended to Earl by now."

"Li Fengqing is the Pervert from Tangren City, and a good brother to the Drunkard Luo Yi."

"Big White Shark is part of our Sea King Port, ranking alongside the Tiger Shark Fujihara Tomohiro."

"In short, they are all renowned Quasi-Elephant Kings."

"The only uncertainty is Phoenix. His reputation paints him as a strong True Elephant Level, but he lacks any record of killing a Hidden Dragon, so he’s not even a Quasi-Elephant King... Plus, he is SSR."

"But I remember last month he was at True Elephant Level. He couldn’t have transformed into a dragon just this month, right? And no major incidents were reported from Milan’s order either."

Gao Xin’s pupils narrowed. What? Phoenix is SSR?

So, Phoenix could also potentially be a Hidden Dragon?

The fact that he was True Elephant was last month’s news; it was possible he had just stepped into Hidden Dragon territory.

Concealing this would be extremely advantageous for him.

Reflecting, Gao Xin recalled Phoenix saying at the beginning: He had drawn two True Image cards and couldn’t keep up with Sivina’s development.

Could that be a diversion?

Was his first statement a lie meant to reinforce the impression that he was still at True Elephant Level?

Gao Xin took a deep breath. Everyone in this round was talented indeed.

"We can’t keep developing like this. Get ready for battle, Sivina."

Sivina was thrilled, "Great, I declare war on Green Empire!"

However, Gao Xin shook his head, "No, it’s Black Emperor’s empire we are declaring war on."
