Chapter 111

Ibro looked at Mamor and asked:

"What about your list, have you finished it?"

"Yes my lord, but it's bigger than the Hoden list."

Ibro smiled. He was ready for this list specifically. He knew that his biggest interest would be on war. All internal stability and growth would be for supporting war.

He gestured for him to deliver his list. Mamor's list was really huge. What caught Ibro's attention was that he divided this list into two sections. He asked in confusion:

"Why are there two sections in your list?"

"That's because there are some special units with a time limit that will expire in just one to two days from now.

The other section is for the regular units. We can have these units anytime in the future."

Ibro revised this list carefully. He read some familiar names and many other unknown names. He asked trying to understand:

"Who is this grand magus in the first section?"

"Grandmagus is a very strong natural powers warrior. You can consider him like me, a commander in chief too in his civilization."

Ibro looked again and exclaimed pointing to the specific section in the list:

"You want 5 commanders in chiefs, 5 grandmagus, 5 airlords, 5 immortals, 5 mechaZ and 5 supreme commanders?"

"Yes my lord. They are expensive. Each one of them costs 5 million gold coins at least."

"Hoden said that many saints is not a healthy thing in the nation."

Mamor understood Ibro's true meaning so he answered:

"Situation is very different in the army. Here we needed competition and rivalry.

Each commander in chief will have his own army in the future. The presence of all those unique generals will be a healthy thing indeed."

Ibro understood what he meant, but he wanted to understand another matter as he asked:

"In the beginning of my village, my army can't be huge.

Even if I bought many tokens, I won't use them at the current time. If we have all these strong guys, will they work efficiently with each other at this stage?"

"They will work and won't cause many troubles. That's my responsibility."

"What about these strange units then?"

"I have chosen the best units in the whole civilizations."

Ibro looked at the list again. His eyes met strange names like sword cultivators, shield Mechas and five-element magus. He really didn't know what these units were or their nature or specifics.

But what caught his attention was that all of them were level0. Ibro looked towards Mamor and said with confidence:

"You don't need to choose the weakest units out there. I can afford buying units in level 40 or even 50."

Mamor exchanged looks with Hoden. They seemed to precipitate this comment from Ibro.

"My lord, having high-level units isn't a healthy thing for our army."

"I agree with Hoden. These high-level units came from different civilizations. Human empires aren't the same for example. Each unit had its own training, had its own beliefs and its own way to battle and follow orders.

Mixing such high-level units together will create chaos and disunity. The best option is to have these units fresh at level0. Although it will cause us much trouble, it will take more time and effort to make them reach higher levels, it is worth it indeed."

Ibro didn't think about such issues before. That was the benefit of having such high-level commanders like them. Ibro looked at the two final lists he had.

The civilian part had many names but Ibro felt that the total cost of this list would be cheaper by a huge margin than the military list. Ibro opened the market and said:

"Display the grandmaster list."

"List has been created. Player can view it now."

Ibro checked the long list that appeared in front of him. In the Hoden list, there were 2 grandmasters in each field. Ibro only searched for some names and was astonished to see their values.

Each grandmaster has a higher value than he expected. He thought that the most expensive one wouldn't exceed 2 million mark. In front of him, the cheapest one was over 5 million.

That meant if he wanted to obtain all the 30 grandmasters from the Hoden list, he would need over 200 million gold coins. He didn't hesitate and bought 30 grandmasters ownership proofs.

His wealth had lost a big amount, but he wasn't worried. At once he took out 1000 Even runes from his Inventory and put them, group, after group in the market interface. He knew selling this big amount suddenly would affect the market prices.

When he finished putting all 1000 in the market interface, he was surprised to see the prices of these runes to be higher than before. Last time he sold each one with 4 million, but now he sold each one with 6 million. That gave him instantly 6 billion gold coins.

"Don't be surprised, my lord. Your runes are really extraordinary. They are consumables. With consideration for the huge universes and worlds related to the game, your amount is nothing more than a tiny drop in a huge ocean."

"I agree with Mamor. In the future, each rune you sell will be no less than 10 million gold coins. It's perfectly safe to say that these runes can become one of our top specialties."

Ibro felt relieved. He was afraid to decrease the price of his runes if he kept selling them in high quantities. He can now make and sell as much as he liked.

After refilling his treasury he started a wide range shopping process that lasted for a few hours. He bought 100 city magistrates that cost 1 million each. He bought 20 planners, at least one cost 4 million. These 20 planners cost him 125 million gold coins.

He paid over 400 million gold coins for this civilian list. He then looked for the heavier military list. He had over 5.5 billion gold coins now. He wanted to buy everything in this list without exception.

Although Mamor had divided this list into two halves, he wanted to buy everything in it. The second section wasn't less important than the first section.

Although these units were present there without time limits, their quantities were fixed and would decrease day after day. In addition to that, these units needed massive training.

He wanted to buy them all and train them at the same time if that was possible. Even if he couldn't use them in the time being, he had acquired the needed amount.

He wouldn't be threatened by other lords then. He started with those 30 top-class generals. Each one of them cost at least 6 million gold and the highest was 9 million coins.

Ibro bought all the 30 in one breath paying over 200 million coins. Ibro then noticed a small list of strategists. He looked at Mamor in question who said immediately:

"These strategists are like planners for civilians. Unfortunately, they are really rare and they have a very high demand on them. There are only 5 strategists who came from different civilizations."

Ibro then checked this list. It was exactly as Mamor just said. This list only contained five names, each worth 20 million gold coins. Ibro bought them at once while saying:

"They have the same prices."

"That's because they are rank 3 strategists."

"What do you mean by rank 3 strategists?"

"Strategists are ranked into 10 ranks. The highest is rank 0 strategists. The lowest is rank 9 strategists."

"You mean they are not the best type strategists?"

"They are the best in this game now. But sure, there are a lot stronger strategists than them."

Ibro didn't say anything. He had the money but money couldn't buy everything he needed. The next on this list was the different rank generals.

Generals were organized from basic generals who were tagged by price of 10k gold coins to grand generals with a price of 1 million coins. Ibro spent over 1 billion gold coins to gain more than 2000 generals.

These generals were a mix of different civilizations. When he finished this, Ibro had reached the end of the first half of the list. The second half was made of many units from different civilizations. Ibro checked these units rapidly then he asked:

"Why can't I find any heavy shield warrior units here?"

"That's because there are better options than them. Like this shield Gornat units. They are one of the best shield units in the whole game worlds."

"I know Gornat warriors; I actually came here from there."

Mamor exchanged worried looks with Hoden. Ibro noticed their worries so he said immediately:

"Don't be like that. I'm actually not from Gornat. But I want to know the news you got."

Hoden started telling the story as he said:

"Gornat Empire was lost a couple of hundreds of millions of years ago. It was destroyed after the destruction of another big Empire before it called Hilonar Empire.

Both and many other great empires were destroyed to our common enemy. Sector 568 was completely lost after that."

Ibro felt shocked. He just came from a very lively empire. How could such an empire be killed in just a few days? He looked in doubt towards Hoden and asked:

"Are we in the future?"

"I can't really answer your question now. The reality of this world is way above your perceptions now. In the future, I will give you detailed answers."

Ibro didn't know how to reply to him. He was very serious. What was this game exactly? What was the civilization behind it? He then asked another question:

"Who is our common enemy?"

"This enemy is way stronger than you. I hope he doesn't notice you now or in the future. Uncountable old civilizations were destroyed under his armies. You need to avoid even asking about his info. He had strange abilities that no one can defend against."

Ibro felt even weirder. That vague answer was like no answer at all. What he gained from Hoden's words was that this enemy is a super giant enemy that he must avoid at all costs.
