Overgeared

There were still only two player kings—Overgeared God Grid and God of War Ares. The quality and quality of talent, the size of the force, capital, technology, strength, etc.

On all indicators, the Overgeared Kingdom was superior to Valhalla and Grid was superior to Ares. It was rare for the world to easily see Ares. Yet even Grid recognized and respected Ares' skill and resourcefulness. He had to do so. Looking down on Ares meant looking down on most players except for Grid himself.

-I was impressed by your performance in the National Competition.

Grid's voice was full of joy. They had been interacting for quite a long time. In the few times the two people had met directly, their personal feelings were pretty good. There was a special rapport because they were in similar positions. Of course, it wasn't like that from the beginning. The military cooperation between the Overgeared Kingdom and Valhalla was still ongoing.

Most of the soldiers of the Overgeared Kingdom's 1st Corps returned from military training in Valhalla after gaining enlightenment and experiencing partial breakthroughs. Artificially improving the characteristics of soldiers and breaking through their stats limit—it was something that Piaro and Asmophel couldn't do despite training many soldiers so far.

It was originally a miracle that had a low probability of occurring when the soldiers received enlightenment or went beyond their limitations. There was only one person in the world who could artificially do it and it was God of War Ares. It was just like only Grid could exercise the miracle of creating myth rated items.

-My performance?Compared to your activity of recording a new history, it is just a small trick like a slug rolling over.By the way, it is good to hear your voice after a long time.There is a refreshing feeling like drinking Coke.Uhaha!

The military cooperation between the two kingdoms wasn't a unilateral, favorable agreement. The Overgeared Kingdom also helped Valhalla. Valhalla's elites were armed with the Overgeared Kingdom's items. Of course, the two kingdoms maintained appropriate boundaries. They didn't cooperate with each other wholeheartedly.

Valhalla trained the Overgeared soldiers in 'moderation' and the Overgeared Kingdom only sold a 'moderate' amount of battle gear to Valhalla's soldiers at a 'fair' price. At one time, Ares dreamed of becoming a true ally of the Overgeared Kingdom, but the wall of reality wasn't so easy. There were many interests in diplomacy. The arbitrary decisions of his mind couldn't determine his political line.

Furthermore, Ares paid a great price for his effort in collecting NPCs as subordinates. Among the contents of the price paid was an agreement to achieve the 'dream' of the subordinate and this complicated things. Most of Ares' named NPCs held grudges against the Saharan Empire. It couldn't be helped. Most of the named NPCs were affiliated with the empire or lost something due to the empire.

-I often wanted to contact you...I refrained from it because I thought you might feel uncomfortable.

-Um, I've also been careful out of fear of your discomfort.

The Overgeared Kingdom and Valhalla cooperated, but they were wary of each other. There were two decisive occasions where the kingdoms didn't trust each other and the relationship started to crack. The Valhalla Kingdom found the 'blacksmith monopoly' of the Overgeared Kingdom annoying, while Valhalla's hostile relationship to the Saharan Empire was a problem for the Overgeared Kingdom.

It was just that both kingdoms didn't openly express their intentions. The reason why blacksmiths all over the continent flocked to the Overgeared Kingdom wasn't because the Overgeared deliberately lured them. The blacksmiths just wanted to join Grid. How could the Overgeared Kingdom be blamed for that? The Overgeared Kingdom who monopolized the blacksmiths manipulated item prices and ripped off other kingdoms, but they didn't do so for Valhalla. As mentioned earlier, they dealt fairly with Valhalla.

The Overgeared Kingdom also had no justification to deter Valhalla, who opposed the Saharan Empire and continued to wage war at the border. At the time of 4th Imperial Prince Edan's rebellion, Valhalla was used by Grandmaster Zikfrector to invade the empire. They failed and suffered massive damage. The grudge was deep. Additionally, Valhalla was a kingdom that developed by absorbing the forces hostile to the empire. By nature, it was inevitable that they would be on bad terms with the empire.

It was impossible to impose a relationship on Valhalla just because Basara, the new empress after Edan's rebellion, had formed a friendship.
