Chapter 372 Star Of A New Era (2)
[Calculating Comprehensive Score... 100,049...]
[Star Lord Ranking:
Ranked 87,000th: Nova Island... ]
"We\'ve finally reached the Chaotic Star Zone," Leo muttered, looking at his rank.
Seeing that he was ranked 87,000th, he couldn\'t help but frown.
The Star Lord Ranking is very important.
Not only does it show the strength of an island being a deterrent to others, but it also comes with various perks.
At the 87,000th rank, he was given 13 percent more star points every year based on his comprehensive development.
Entering the thousands ranking, there are even certain discounts in the Star Exchange Hall.
"We need to hurry..."
The Chaotic Star Zone was specifically designated by the Holy Emperor.
Not only were there no natural disasters and tier 9 chaotic beasts here, but it was also a treasure trove with the most abundant resources near the Curse Continent.
With the blessing of Nova Island, the chaotic energy in the surrounding area weakened, allowing even tier 4 ships to roam.
Mobilizing his family and the people on the island, they began treasure hunting.
...
After a few months of treasure hunting, Leo counted their harvest without stop.
"The sea is truly a treasure trove!"
Forget about the star points; just the resources they obtained in the chaotic sea were already too profitable.
As long as he went back to the Moonlight Empire to sell it, they would earn a fortune.
Sadly, it\'s not so easy to go back.
After leaving the Beginners Area, they were not allowed to return.
The only way is to exchange a teleportation portal in the star exchange list.
This is a specialized teleportation portal for a Star Lord that could go directly to the Moonlight Empire.
The only problem was, that even the cheapest single-person teleportation portal cost a staggering 10 million star points.
If Nova Island didn\'t make any progress, it would take a hundred years just to afford one.
While he was deliberating their follow-up plan, the Island\'s array sounded a warning.
"What happened?" Leo muttered.
Controlling the Island\'s array, he saw an island fast approaching them.
[Island War initiated...]
[Enemy: Water Behemoth Island
Island Ranking: 45,183]
[Whether to fight or surrender?]
"Water Behemoth!"
Water Behemoths are from the Beast Continent, resembling buffaloes.
They have a large and impervious body that could easily defeat individuals on the same tier.
Seeing the enemy, Leo frowned.
In the Star Code War rule, an island can either fight or surrender.
Fighting means an all-out war between both island combatants.
According to the island\'s comprehensive assessment, the Star Lord can appoint a limited number of combatants who could protect the island in times of war.
These combatants are the only individuals allowed to fight and could be killed in the war.
Civilians are protected by the Star Code and are not allowed to be killed.
Anyone doing so, even accidentally, would be punished with a lower comprehensive assessment and star points.
Consequently, the winner of the island war could dispose of the Star Lord and Combatants as they see fit.
Furthermore, the loser\'s island, star points, resources, and civilians could be merged or sold in the Star Exchange List according to the winner\'s will.
It can be said that fighting is an all-or-nothing move.
Surrendering, on the other hand, is divided into two methods.
The first one is to become a subordinate of the island and relinquish the rights of a Star Lord.
From the island, people, and resources, it would be up to the winner to dispose of.
However, due to active surrender, the former Star Lords and Combatants would be converted to civilians and be protected by the Star Code.
The second method is to pay; the Star Code would calculate the corresponding star points needed to pay.
If the Star Lord didn\'t have enough star points, they could only wait for their fate and pray.
Being a Star Lord is not all glory.
It\'s a dangerous venture where one could get killed or worse, enslaved.
Maximus couldn\'t do anything about it; to increase the attractiveness of the Chaotic Star Sea Plan, he could only be cruel.
Protecting the civilians was already the limit.
If he added more restrictions, then what\'s the difference between living on the continent and the island?
They came here to build their dream territory, not to be restricted everywhere.
Even because of this, the protection he had for civilians is limited.
Besides basic living rights, the civilians could only depend on their Star Lords.
Furthermore, even if the Star Lord violates these basic living rights, except for demerits in the comprehensive score, Maximus couldn\'t directly interfere.
Of course, if it\'s too much, Maximus would directly kill them.
In the chaotic sea, it\'s normal for one of the two Star Lords to vanish without a trace.
Everything had to have a degree; Maximus started the Chaotic Star Sea Plan to generate more Amalgamation of Will, not to let his people suffer.
While Leo was deliberating whether to fight or surrender, the Water Behemoth Island arrived near them.
"Screw this! Fight!" Leo muttered forcefully.
[Initiating the War...
Water Behemoth Island Combatants: 5,500
Nova Island Combatants: 1,500]
Soon, a number appeared above them, designating the countdown before the fight.
The civilians on both islands also retreated inside the protective barrier, waiting for the fight to end.
"Hmph, the people of the Moonlight Empire are not to be defeated!"
Seeing they were outnumbered, Leo cheered for his combatants.
"Soldiers of Nova Island, bring forth your swords; we have cows to butcher today..." Leo said coldly.
...
In the Moonlight Empire:
"Huh, is that the Nova Family?"
"Finally, someone from the Moonlight Empire is fighting!"
"Hahaha, this is going to be fun."
The Island war was being broadcasted throughout the entire Etherium Realm.
This not only increase the popularity of the Chaotic Star Sea Era but also generate revenue.
Over the months, individuals from all over the Etherium Realm eagerly watched this event.
Watching powerhouses tear each other apart was exhilarating.
This was incomparable to fights in the virtual world.
Everything they saw was real and bloodthirsty.
With miniature wars featuring thousands of individuals, it was a visual feast for the eyes.
"However, the Nova Family seems to be outnumbered. Do you still want to bet?"
With the popularity of the Island wars, sharks all over the Etherium realm seemed to smell blood.
Betting platforms were set up everywhere, making gambling easier.
Banks were also allied with each other, making the transfer of money was just a movement of fingers.
"With the current odds, the Nova family had no chance of winning."
"Damn! Are you doubting the people of the Moonlight Empire?!"
"Hmph! Ignorance! The Water Behemoth is one of the battle tribe in the Beast Continent; an unknown family is nothing," a goat beastman said.
"That\'s right. Don\'t be too confident. No matter what, you are outnumbered," a person from the Arcane Continent added.
"Hmph! No matter who our enemy is, the people of the Moonlight Empire are invincible!"
The Curse Continent was a former battle continent.
When they faced a strong enemy, instead of fear, they faced excitement.
This was inscribed in their genes that couldn\'t be erased even after countless epochs.
With their blood boiling from excitement, they didn\'t care about the numerical difference and bet all their wealth on Nova Island.
While they were arguing, the fight between Nova Island and Water Behemoth Island started.
In the beginning, the Water Behemoth was confident.
Activating their bloodthirsty instincts and bloodline skills, they lunged at the enemy without regard to danger.
The Nova Island combatants also had no fear and attacked the enemy head-on.
Seeing the mindless fight, most individuals who betted their money on Water Behemoth Island smiled.
Initially, they were worried that Nova Island would fight the Water Behemoth in guerrilla warfare, wearing the enemy down to exhaustion.
Now, seeing that the Star Lord of Nova Island was foolish, they heaved a sigh of relief.
The Water Behemoth tribe specializes in close combat.
A few months ago, they even watched the Water Behemoth destroy an Island from the Divine Continent with just brute force.
"Hehe, wealth is about to pour on us!"
As fire and blood filled the sea, the people watching the island war noticed something different from their expectations.
"W-what is that?!"
In the sea lay the corpses of the Water Behemoths.
Meanwhile, the people of Nova Family were blood-red, emitting a heat that boiled the sea.
"What kind of forbidden technique is this?!"
Unfortunately, no one answered them.
Before they knew it, the fight ended.
[Winner: Nova Island]
With the announcement, a carnival ensued in the Moonlight Empire.
On the other hand, various gambling organizations were wailing.
"Who! Who bet such an insane amount? Who allowed this!"
Under his fury, he couldn\'t help but kneel down, thinking all his wealth had gone to drain.
Meanwhile, Asha watched her nephews count her harvest.
"Tsk, tsk. I wonder how much food I could buy with this," Maxime muttered, seeing how much her auntie won.
"Hehe, I have been eyeing a dress for a while. This is so timely," Lila\'s eyes lit up.
"I only needed a change of weapon, Auntie," Maya silently said.
"Hahaha, there is too much money here. Don\'t worry!" Asha laughed heartily.
"I can\'t believe these stupid gambling organizations still exist."
"How can the people selected by Dad be simple?"
