"No...no way! How could this be?"

Redbeard, Nikita Pandoko, stared in disbelief as the head of the Tier 3 elite, the dwarf long-bearded hammer-wielder, rose into the sky before the White Horse Lord! His expression was one of shock.

"Lord's Log: Your subordinate, Tier 3 Dwarf Longbeard Hammerhand, has fallen in battle."

"!!!"

"That's impossible!"

Henriette von Goldwin and Donsf Oleg, who were just in a state of joy and morale recovery, have both gone mad.

"Nikita Pandoko, watch out!"

The White Horse Lord's white horse raised its iron hooves, the horseshoes gleaming coldly before Nikita Pandoko!

Immediately afterwards, Henriette von Godwin looked at the regional war communications in shock.

"Regional battle broadcast: Dwarf player lord Nikita Pandoko has been killed in action. The morale of his 7 dwarf warriors has collapsed, and the overall morale is -3."

"how so?!"

"Nikita Pandoko is dead?"

They stared in utter shock at the scene before them. The warrior Nikita Pandoko, who had broken through the enemy cavemen's encirclement, along with his elite Tier 3 troops and the dwarven long-bearded hammer-wielder, also clad in armor, had been killed by that white-horse lord?

Who exactly is he?

This change caused the morale of the dwarven troops who broke through the encirclement to collapse, and the scales of victory began to tip completely in favor of the human lord player.

On the hillside, a dwarf scout captain lamented, "We've lost."

Abbott Bodu said, "It's confirmed. It must be a noble lord from the Human Empire."

Should we make a move?

Abbott Bodu shook his head and said, "The overseer has a duty. All those dwarf soldiers who retreated and raised white flags must be brought back to me..." In a real battle, the overseer would execute deserters, but a chosen one would not die permanently after one battle.

Therefore, these remaining soldiers, as instructed by General "Red Hammer" Bodun, could be returned to the resurrected Chosen Ones as a favor.

"retreat!!"

Loire Jéke reluctantly issued the order to retreat.

Six dwarf lord players died in battle; they were all elite player lords from the European region.

Donsuf Oleg had been stabbed in the abdomen by the werewolf warrior. The wound was now bandaged and no longer bleeding, but even so, blood still stained the bandage. His beard twitched, but he ultimately said nothing.

Loire Bragg said, "We have the Dwarven Empire behind us, and we will definitely benefit from their conflict with the human dynasties."

"This guy must be an NPC noble lord from some human empire."

Donsuf Oleg found a small measure of comfort in Loire's words: the enemy was like an impenetrable fortress, without any weaknesses. Even when the final charge occurred, and Donsuf Oleg witnessed the scene of a Tier 3 elite soldier, a fully armed hammer-wielding warrior in bronze armor, being casually executed with a single sword strike, he was still deeply shaken.

"Not being a player makes me feel a bit better. After all, we, as the chosen ones, have only been in this game for less than two days!"

"That's right, he is, after all, a human noble lord, and could not possibly be a lord player from our world of Ling."

"Failure is normal."

With less than a hundred men remaining in the retreat, Donsuf Oleg watched helplessly as the human lord completed the encirclement in the distance. The remaining dwarven troops, along with two lord players, were already doomed. But they had to retreat; continuing the fight would only give the white horse lord more spoils.

What disgusted them even more was that the ones who died on the other side were all low-level Tier 1 cave dwellers.

Tier 1 Big-eared Monster, Tier 1 Thief and Farmer!

That's right... their roster is incredibly cheap and garbage!!!

But this is just a bunch of trashy ragtag soldiers!

However, they had defeated the elite players of their dwarf empire, which made Donsuf Oleg feel extremely ashamed and indignant, but he could not express it.

...

...

"You have achieved a glorious victory, defeating 438 enemy troops (Dwarf Zounds (large): 500-999), 120 dead soldiers, and gaining: gold x units, wood x522, Tier 1 armor x97, and Tier 1 weapon x45."

"You have gained 7500 Lord Experience".

A flash of light appeared before Su Yue's eyes, and he leveled up instantly.

"Lord's Log: Due to the influence of the Divine Lord's divine profession, your free attribute points per level are increased by 5."

Lord level is very difficult to increase!

Su Yue already had 60 unallocated attribute points, and he wasn't in a hurry to add them. Too much power could easily become uncontrollable and disjointed. So Su Yue was still getting used to the feeling of having 20+ attribute points.

However, as his level continues to increase, his unused free attribute points have increased from 60 to 65.

Name: Su Yue, Occupation: Divine Lord (S-level Divine Lord - Unique)

Alignment: Great Old Ones, Blessing: Yellow Seal of the Conch (Unique, SSS-level Blessing of an Evil God), Cthulhu's Familiar, Blood of the Great Old Ones (Mark).

Health: 485, Mana: 310.

Strength: 29, Agility: 23, Constitution: 20, Intelligence: 19, Cognition: 10, Charisma: 22.

"Free attribute points: 65 points."

Treasure: Life Amulet.

Unit health +15, health regeneration speed 10%.

It's important to understand that currently, most world lord players in Turin don't have a single attribute exceeding 10 points. Su Yue's attribute is unimaginable even for top-tier players from countries like the US, Russia, and China.

In addition, his intelligence level is almost 20.

Su Yue immediately increased his Intelligence to 20 points, his Spiritual Awareness to 20 points, and then increased his Strength to 30 points.

It cost a total of 13 free attribute points.

"Due to your Intelligence exceeding 20, you have gained the Lord Talent: Chart Wanderer: Your movement speed at sea +20%, action points +30%."

"This talent is quite good!"

Action capacity is linked to the physical strength of soldiers and subordinates. What many lords lack most is not ambition, but action capacity... Once action capacity is insufficient, they must rest and sleep, or go to bed at night, otherwise soldiers may rebel and desert.

"Due to your Intelligence exceeding 20, you have gained the Lord Talent: Eye of Detection: Your detection range on the map +10%."

"That's interesting."

Su Yue could sense the fog-shrouded area on his map. The fog of war suddenly expanded by one-tenth. Don't underestimate this one-tenth; at crucial moments, his ability to locate enemies is superior to theirs, allowing him to detect enemy ambushes outside this 10% area in advance and prepare accordingly.

Of course, a lord's map control and intelligence capabilities are more related to the scouts' reconnaissance.

All attributes have reached the watershed of 20 points.

Su Yue felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"We still have 52 free attribute points. Let's raise all the attribute points to 30." Su Yue smiled knowingly.
