Overgeared

They were many players who opposed the Saharan Empire. No, most players would feel negatively toward the Saharan Empire. How many modern people could be sympathetic to the image of the empire that discriminated and repressed other species and cultures, calling themselves the only right answer? There might be many players who joined the empire to enjoy their infrastructure, but it was hard to find those who devoted themselves to the empire.

There was just one strange thing. The poisonous Chinese players often favored the Saharan Empire. The empire couldn’t be seen negatively because the appearance of the Saharan Empire wasn’t that different from China’s, who put pressure on the surrounding countries. In their eyes, the ideals of the empire were worthy and the attitude of the empire was natural. Rather, they thought the empire was intrepid.

Of course, not all Chinese were the same, but it was true that many Chinese supported the empire by describing the Saharan Empire as Satisfy’s China. The same was true for the Chinese rankers gathered here now. For them, the empire was another version of China, and the nobles of the empire who exerted ‘appropriate authority’ were the objects of envy. The dukes were the best among the empire’s nobles.

“Why Grid...”

Yet they were defending Grid, the king of a small nation. No, it wasn’t just at the level of defending.

“Your Majesty, you must be very upset that these puny bastards pointed their weapons at you. Govern your heart. We will take care of them.”

Unlike the saber tiger that easily climbed the rocks, the two-headed hippo barely managed to climb the mountain because of its lack of agility. Duke Grenhal descended from it with rough breathing and treated Grid like a superior. His attitude made it out like Grid was the emperor.

“What? What the hell is this?”

It was true that Grid dominated among the players, but he was normal when compared to NPCs. Additionally, academic circles stated that the Seven Dukes of the empire were some of the most powerful people on the West Continent. Compared to the Seven Dukes, Grid was lacking in every aspect. Moreover, not long ago, the Overgeared Kingdom was fighting against the empire. Grid’s knight had even killed Sky King Rigal. The relationship between the empire and Grid could never be good. It was normal for the Seven Dukes to be hostile or to despise Grid.

‘Then why are the dukes treating Grid so well? I can’t understand it.’

The Chinese rankers who had been ordered to go to the historical site were all veterans. They could recall many cases, but no matter how many they looked through, it was impossible to guess how the relationship between Grid and the Seven Dukes had formed.

The dumbfounded Zhang Jian muttered, “Perhaps he has a brainwashing skill...”

It was rumored that there was someone among the hidden classes who could use brainwashing skills. This skill only applied to NPCs, and it was said that the person could acquire quests favorable to them by manipulating the NPC. The most important thing was that the higher the level or quality of the NPC, the more the success and effectiveness of the brainwashing skill would drop exponentially. It meant that brainwashing skills didn’t work on named NPCs. In particular, it couldn’t work on the dukes who were the best among the named NPCs.

Additionally, the probability that Grid was the user with the brainwashing skill was remarkably low. The relationship between Grid and the Seven Dukes couldn’t be formed using such tricks. Consequently, the Chinese rankers were greatly confused.

“I will discipline you with the strict laws of the Saharan Empire. It is an immediate death penalty for those who block the way of the empire’s dukes,” Duke Grenhal said one-sided and harsh words casually and then drew his sword.
