Chapter 1320: The Borick Alliance's Conscription
The war had ended, and all the countries returned to their production recovery.
Of course, regardless of whether it was online or elsewhere, there was a frenzy of propaganda.
No country would publicize its own losses, and everyone worked together to suppress this information. Who doesn't know each other? If one side publicized the other's losses, the other side would do the same.
On the continent connected by the Magic Net, it's simply impossible to hide any information.
Under these circumstances, countries began to cooperate tacitly.
Especially with superpowers like the Xuanwu Empire involved, their losses were also significant. Since the other side did not actively publicize their losses, others helped to hide them.
What everyone is promoting now is victory, heroes, and all sorts of achievements.
These hidden messages, who knows how long it will be until they come out.
Of course, those high-level individuals who died were not truly dead. Because before they set off, Zhao Guang had given them special helmets, which are now connected to the illusionary world.
Before, as long as the soul wasn't captured or destroyed upon death, it was fine.
Even the small-scale space turbulence at the end was both localized and of short duration.
Such a short time was not enough to destroy their souls. Therefore, these deceased strong ones are now living in the virtual world. As long as that plane remains unbroken, their lifespans remain incredibly long.
These individuals are very grateful now for having a place to continue their lives.
Of course, those divine followers did not enter, because they firmly believed that after death they could enter the Divine Country.
No matter how one thinks about it, this matter is pretty much settled like this. The Xuanwu Empire, already at a peak of development, is growing even faster propelled by this momentum, and land development in the North is speeding up as well.
"Is it news from the Borick Continent? This time no one came over."
Zhao Guang looked at the letter in his hand, truly missing that fellow Su Buqi.
Xi Fei covered her mouth and chuckled, "Maybe they're worried about being dealt with by you, Master."
There is no need to think about the nature of the news this time; it seems that things on the Borick Continent are really tough. Opening the letter, Zhao Guang quickly scanned through it line by line.
"These guys really came at the right time, they've been watching me all along, huh."
This is a conscription order; as long as Zhao Guang wants to develop on the Borick Continent, this conscription must be accepted.
Of course, they also offered terms, that was to expand the Land of Faith by ten times for his trio, even though it was still those islands. For other demigods, this condition would undoubtedly be sincere.
At the same time, they acknowledged his status on the Borick Continent, allowing and even assisting him in establishing a nation there.
All this was predicated on the end of this matter, assuming he survives.
"Master, what request did they make this time?"
Zhao Guang smiled, "First, the nest spiders, they need those."
No wonder Master said they've always been watching him. The nest spiders had only been deployed in the final battle. It hasn't even been a month since they joined the fight.
If one counts the time since the large-scale deployment of small spiders in battle, it has only been half a month.
The opposing party is so well-informed about this and has demanded a batch be sent over, which is telling.
Yes, having a military formation capable of exerting legendary level combat power, and not fearing being turned into undead by the other side—that's unbeatable for the Borick Continent now.
But you have to know, conscripting a nest spider is tantamount to recruiting several legendary combat power units.
"Also, they are requiring us to dispatch a demigod combat power."
Since there exist three demigod combat powers, one must be dispatched. Although this isn't directed at him personally, it's obvious the demand is higher than for other forces on Borick Continent.
Because they belong to an outside force, it's not easy to penetrate and become a part of it.
It's a pity; given his current level, this ostensibly sincere offer seems less enticing. Naturally, only Zhao Guang himself knows this, others do not.
Even Xi Fei, seeing these conditions, is very motivated by it.
"Master, should I go instead? With these terms, you can elevate your growth speed quickly."
Zhao Guang shook his head, "No, don't forget we anticipated such a conscription long ago. I've already devised a solution, right?" Zhao Guang referred to his demigod clone.
"But that's just a clone, what if they don't acknowledge it?"
Zhao Guang laughed, "I simply won't tell them it's a clone in the beginning, they wouldn't notice anyway. After achievements on the battlefield, even if they find out, they wouldn't say much."
After all, it truly is demigod combat power, without question, and performs better than theirs.
Even though it's a clone, what does it matter? At most, it would make them more wary.
With this clone as a foundation, they will have to think twice before targeting him in the future. Yes, there will be issues even after this battle concludes.
Without external enemies, targeting him isn't out of the question.
Zhao Guang almost certainly knows the place they would give him, a piece of land in the northeastern corner.
As for its size, it's uncertain, but dealing with the plague and the undead is necessary, and he would have to figure out the population problem. The population either died or fled, making it difficult to bring them back.
In this situation, even if they help establish a nation, so what? Development would take a long time.
Coupled with various overt and covert targeting, Zhao Guang can imagine how challenging it would be.
To counter future troubles, it's imperative to create some hassle for them first. Furthermore, sending the clone to battle allows him to continue researching new Magic, enhancing his power.
Lately, Zhao Guang feels himself getting closer to the late demigod stage.
Once completed, he would be able to inscribe his own Law within and outside of the Illusionary Divine Status. Given his nearly perfected Law, upon completion, even the seasoned peak demigods may not be his match.
As for divine invasions, what could be more vital than reaching the divine level?
Although the opponent ordered it, Zhao Guang can't entirely obey because he isn't a subordinate; negotiating is still necessary.
