Lords: From Civilization to the Stars

The Antarctic Expedition Team is the last team to arrive in the Negative Star Realm Exploration Team. Although it has the largest number of players, it has the least number of Negative Stars. The main leader is Li Ang, who claims to be lucky among the players. And Li Ang is a notorious iron beast among the players.

Because Norsca did not rescue him in time when he was rescued, and even after the war, no team was organized to rescue him, so Li Ang became a bridge between the Negative Stars and the player team, but it was a very unstable bridge.

For example, now, although the Antarctic Expedition Team has the largest player scale, it is because of card drawing and various strange benefits. Otherwise, who would stay on the ship for a month.

The shipwreck research team, which has made faster progress, has now begun to establish an exploration base in the ocean and began to explore news about ancient shipwrecks and some ancient city marks. Some lucky players have even dug out a large box of gold coins. In this case, it is really difficult to expect the Antarctic Expedition Team to have any good mood.

But in contrast, the reason why the Antarctic Expedition Team has such rich player resources is not only because of Li Ang, the beastly player leader. Because the Negative Star promised that players in each realm can apply to become the leader of the local stationed faction.

And to be honest, other areas are not places where people can stay.

They are the Frozen Realm Wall with a thousand-foot ice wall, the Thousand Sails Deep Dive in the sea, the crater deep in the Norsca Hell Peaks, the Chaos Fortress in the north, and some teams that went to the Elf Outpost and the Dark Elf Islands. This does not seem to give players a little land.

So after comprehensive consideration, plus the background story that the Negative Stars once transformed the Arctic, the players decided to invest some teams and forces in Antarctica while developing Albion Island.

It can make money and give the Negative Stars a little face, so that the last Antarctic team can strengthen its momentum. Why not?

And many speculators also believe that Antarctica, as a place where chaos is rampant, must be watched by many chaos gods. As long as they perform well enough, they don't have to have the guaranteed 10,000 gold coins to compete with those rich people for destiny.

In addition, the leader of the Antarctic expedition is Li Ang. No matter how dissatisfied or beastly Li Ang is, he is also a player. A player must live in real life, and everyone knows him well.

If there is any big thing or discussion, he can also bring it up. Those players who assassinated him were generously beheaded instead of having their souls sucked away.

This is enough to prove that Li Ang does maintain a certain degree of goodwill and is not a traitor.

It is better to say that Li Ang has operated a lot of things. At least in the eyes of the players, although this guy hugged the elf sisters and shot guns in the captain's room every day, he still did some practical things.

For example, persuade the negative stars to let the player team take the right to land on the Antarctic coast for the first time, so that these people can get the first wave of credits. Another thing is to let the players play a role. After building basic facilities and camps, let the negative stars build a protective barrier about the landing site.

Although it seems to be just a small change, in fact, everyone knows that this is a good thing for everyone.

Each person gets one credit point, and the starting price is one silver coin. Isn't this enough?

Although I know that the first person to rush to the Antarctic beach must be in danger, but in this old world, even if you survive, there is a certain risk. Not to mention that you are paid?

The players immediately summed up some experiences and events happily, and finally decided to choose a player who has considerable experience advantages for the players and is familiar with various chaos events. He is considered an authoritative player among the players and decided to preside over the current landing operation plan.

Edward, with long purple hair and a completely cute and soft appearance, is standing at the bow, staring blankly at the continent covered in black.

"This seems a bit too much..."

Edward, the leader of the first group of players heading to the Antarctic region, took a breath, looked at the lavender smoke he exhaled, and shook his head helplessly.

And this brilliant image greatly boosted the morale of the players who followed the army. Although the players now feel a burning sensation in their lungs just by inhaling some air from the Antarctic territory. However, out of trust in their own immortality and the tasks they are carrying, the players did not shout.

But watching the dark continent gradually approaching, facing the land that is almost the same color as the ocean, Edward still sighed in his heart.

She is not very optimistic about this operation, and even feels very pessimistic.

The players' tasks are numerous and complicated, and they seem to be very repetitive.

Basically, they go to XX coordinates to explore, and then XX team will review. If the review is consistent, they will anchor. If the review is inconsistent, a third player team will be sent to inquire. If all three teams have problems, they will be checked by the negative star, and a bounty will be given after confirming that it is a chaotic zone.

Even if no special landforms are found, there will be a normal record of bounties and performance points. And these performance points can be exchanged for the right to choose the gold seal-this is the name of the golden rune by the players.

Everything was in order and full of temptation, even making people feel excited.

However, Edward felt a sense of weirdness.

Ever since she was blessed by the Chaos Gods, she often had such a weird feeling.

Sometimes she could even feel a strong torture, a pain, an unspeakable despair and fatigue in the real world. Tell her that she is a man, not a woman.

In reality and in the other world, Edward, who has grown into an unimaginable beauty, enjoys the pursuit of countless people. Almost every player and every person in the other world who meets her will be shocked by her beauty and purity. Because it is really a kind of innocent sweetness, as pure as if it has not been tainted by anyone.

However, Edward's inner self is a man. The more he feels the convenience of his life, the more he feels a kind of panic.

It's as if the previous Edward has never existed, and the current Edward is the real existence. She is already the most prestigious player. Apart from Leon, the iron beast who used card drawing and gambling to give gold coins to the negative star players, Edward was already the highest one in terms of reputation.

The crystal-clear eyes under the purple long hair, the trembling nasal sound in the breath. There is also the habit of staring straight at the other party when talking, and the bright smile and the habit of shaking hands and hugging after confirming the cooperation.

These personalities and actions on a man are generous, casual, and look very friendly. But for such a cute girl, it is like putting a bomb on people's hearts.

Edward has received confessions from men countless times, as well as some passionate letters.

They all believe that Edward's soul is a gentle and timid woman, vowing to bring Edward out of purgatory and present Edward's beauty to everyone in the world, as if exhibiting some unparalleled treasure. Such actions instead made Edward's dry heart rise with a trace of rebellion.

She wanted to prove herself, to prove that she was still the legendary admiral, the commander of the player's fleet. So she volunteered to join the Antarctic Expedition Team, and together with Li Ang, she became the first and second leader of the player team.

She worked hard to complete each of her tasks, coordinate conflicts between player unions, and even organized many team-building activities in this month, and even real team-building.

However, she never invited Li Ang.

Because, when she saw the golden rune on Li Ang, she felt a little...fear.

This was impossible.

After accepting the blessing from Prince Joy, Edward felt that he would never be afraid in his life.

She just had a higher threshold for happiness, and required more from the surrounding environment. She looked like a woman, and began to be sentimental and emotional.

But what's the matter? She has become an extraordinary existence, and no one has restricted her anymore. However, when she saw the golden rune and those players who were glowing with golden light and talking about something, she still felt a little fear.

That fear was like the embodiment of the ugliest thing in her that she least wanted people to see.

He felt that the players in Hope City were whispering. Those players with golden lines on their skin are now fighting against demons and war gangs in Hope City, fighting to support the war.

Those golden lunatics seem to have separated themselves from the official, established a closed organization in private, and are secretly planning something famous. When they looked at Edward with their bright eyes, their expressions were not like looking at their compatriots, but like looking at a fat prey that has gradually matured and can be harvested gradually.

Even Edward wanted to leave Hope City partly because he didn't want to see these extremely scary players again.

But now, Leon also showed such performance.

Although he looked greedy and lustful, always talked about his past resume, and was very angry, fully reflecting the diversity of the human population, but Edward always had a voice in his heart telling himself.

That was not his true appearance, that was not the true appearance of that guy. He was a monster lurking very deep. Even, it was a bit worrying whether the thing under that layer of human skin was human or not. What kind of terrible and terrifying thoughts are hidden behind the seemingly greedy and lustful person?

Although she was blessed by the God of Pleasure, allowing her to travel between the two worlds with her current appearance, Edward always felt that there seemed to be a huge void in his heart, and a hungry crack seemed to spread silently in his heart, making him pursue fame and stronger stimulation. Then, as Leon, who was eroded by the Negative Star, what was he pursuing in his mind?

Could he also feel the tiredness and numbness from his heart? Was he also pursuing a certain destiny? Perhaps it was because of this idea that he would abandon everything and pursue the first place in this landing ship?

Watching the black coast approaching, Edward was confused and just watched the ship begin to be lowered in an orderly manner and began to move towards the beach little by little.

The players' boats, carrying all kinds of materials, began to march towards the Antarctic continent like ants in the dark ocean.

As the leader of the landing plan, Edward put away his sentimental emotions, stood up and prepared to follow into the boat, driving some wood for building a temporary dock, and approached the dark continent.

But just as Edward was about to go down, a pair of players looked at each other, stretched out their palms, and blocked Edward's way.

"Miss Edward..."

"Just call me Edward."

Looking at the two players blocking him, Edward raised his eyebrows.

"What do you want to stop me for? Now is a very important time. If you want autographs, please wait until the specific things are done. I will sign for you, okay?"

"That's not necessary, Miss Edward. We are paid to pass on Leon's message."

"Leon? What does that guy want to say?"

"'The Negative Stars told me that the first player team is about to die, and it's all your fault. Can't you use your Prince of Joy's aura to protect those players' ships? Or do you have to scold you before you are willing to use your brain?' That's what he said."

"What——"

Edward's beautiful eyes were full of anger, but before she could say anything, something strange happened.

The players' ships that were gradually advancing had even reached the continental shelf area. When they were heading towards the beach, a layer of dark waves suddenly rolled up from the ocean.

The strange waves were not big, but they were cruel enough, with a unique cunning characteristic that seemed not to belong to the human world. It instantly jumped out from the bottom of the sea, like a predator, tearing the players' fleets to pieces in the blink of an eye. The first beach fleet was wiped out without even making a sound.

Edward was just stunned at what happened in just a few seconds, not realizing that this would happen.

"Why, why is this happening? This is unscientific. Why are there such big waves in such a shallow place?!"

'You live in this world and don't realize what's happening? The wrath of God, my Lord Chosen One. You received God's grace before me, and you don't know what's happening? '

In front of the stunned Edward, a projection instantly appeared.

Under the service of the two elf sisters, Leon, who was wearing a bathrobe and wiping his hair, was shaking a red wine glass, looking at the shocked Edward with disdain.

The relationship between the two of them has never been very good. Edward promised to draw a pie in the sky, and almost tricked Leon into working for everyone in the peaks of hell for nothing. So a greedy and lustful man like Leon was not fooled by Edward's slightly open mouth, which looked so good, but started to insult him directly.

'Is your head there for show? The superiors asked us to cooperate with you, but you just cooperated with me like this? ? '

'I have emphasized that the Antarctic continent is deeply polluted by chaos. You either bring the anti-chaos gold talisman or the chaos talisman, otherwise something will happen sooner or later. Did you ignore my words? '

'I patted my chest and promised the big brothers of the Negative Stars that I brought you here because the players are not bad. But you came up and gave us all a hard time. Do you think our status as players is too high and want to suppress it to avoid shocking the superiors? If you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, go back and be a vase. Anyway, you can't do anything. ’

“…”

Many players around looked at each other, looking at Edward who was shaking with anger, and shrugged their shoulders tacitly.

The discord between Leon and Edward was well-known among all players. After all, Edward claimed to be the number one player, and he was always making empty promises. Now that he was awakened by the PUA and started to scold him, it was understandable.

But many people felt pity for Edward, especially when Leon seemed to be hated by everyone and hated by everyone. Many people made statements about this, and they all thought that it was a bit too much for a man like Leon to be so extreme towards a girl. However, Leon’s response was also very simple.

The surrounding players faced this situation with their eyes and noses, and pretended not to see anything.

Edward was silent, just lowering his head and keeping silent. But the surrounding player fleets found that a lavender mist seemed to be emanating from the player ship where Edward was.

The originally bad sea conditions, which were like children, even seemed to be frightened, and suddenly converged in front of the lavender mist. The invisible curtain covering the Antarctic region seemed confused after coming into contact with the lavender mist, wondering whether to let these people in.

Edward was the only one who knew nothing. This pure man took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

"...What is the Negative Star doing now?"

"He and that guy Leon seem to be planning to build a landing position. We just heard it."

A player who looked very honest whispered:

"It is said that they want to purify the wind of magic and then rebuild a landing point city... If the wizard king does not come, they say the situation is not optimistic. It may take two or three months to build a preliminary position. The entire Antarctic island is covered with the wind of chaos, and it takes time to break it by force."

"Really? That's easy. Let's build our docks and infrastructure in two or three days! I want to see what that loser who relies on good luck to show off his power can do to me! "

Edward, whose eyes were red with anger, slapped the cabin.

As the chosen one of the God of Pleasure, the girl's angry and twisted face contained unimaginable strange power, and she could punch through the wood of the cabin with just one slap. But there was no time for mercy, Edward just glared at everyone around him and screamed his fierce thoughts.

"Isn't it the so-called barrier! Who is not a Chosen God! I don't believe that the ship chosen by the God of Joy can't even reach the South Pole!"

"He, Li Ang, is a former student and a Norscan slave who has been deprived of his personal freedom. Why is he showing off his power here!"

"When I went to surrender to the Star Negatives, he was still hiding in the peaks of hell!"

"Follow me! I'll take you away!"

Isn't it just a naturally occurring barrier of chaos? Watch me break it with the power of my inner ghost!

Edward looked at the people around him and let out a cute roar, and then the lavender mist around him became thicker and thicker.

Some invisible will seemed to have seen this scene, and was very dissatisfied and planned to stretch out its branches to do something. But at the moment when the invisible will was about to descend on the fleet, the golden battleship suddenly glowed with golden light, and the runes representing the brand of destruction shone brightly for no apparent reason in an instant.

Sitting on a chair and looking at the ocean that was gradually enveloped in lavender mist, Li Ang shrugged.

"The Antarctic landing operation was successful."

"You are really full of bad taste, my lord."

"Just call me Leon, Oliver."

"Yes, Lord Li Ang."

As one of Leon's guards, Oliver stood calmly in the cabin, looking at Edward, whose body had begun to change due to anger and unusually strong emotions, without any change in the expression on his face.

Whether she showed a sweet and pure expression like that of an innocent girl, or whether she now burst out with the aura of her chosen god of Slaanesh in such an angry way, the shocking surrounding environment began to change, or whether it was In the near future, whether this skin will be completely torn apart by the evil god's joke, Oliver will not change at all.

Because in front of him, the master shrouded in brilliance was admiring everything in front of him.

"Look, how great this is. Before attacking our team, they must kill all the demons of the God of Joy internally. Even if they know that I brought people in, they still have to make a choice and Confrontation. So many times the devil only needs an appearance, and we can easily enter."

Look, there are cracks in their monolithic witchcraft.

Looking at the player fleet organized again on the sea level, the smile on Li Ang's face became even happier.

I've reached my limit... Ten thousand is my limit today... I still write too slowly... I even fell asleep for a few hours halfway through. I'm so sorry. I feel like my biological clock is a bit messed up. I'll try to make adjustments and start updating at 6pm. It’s Saturday and I have nothing to do, so I should be able to do it... Sigh, I don’t feel confident at all. I can only write 10,000 words at most in the past few days. I'm so sorry.
