Qin Hang was originally just an ordinary human, and all the Lords had no direct connection to their troops.
He was not like Qi Lin’s incarnations, who were members of their own race.
As a member of the human race and a top-tier Lord, they were actually quite fragile, which was also the reason why Lords wouldn’t act lightly.
They were too confident.
Of course, even if these Lords didn’t personally join the battle, after this war, they had no chance of turning the tables.
Within the territory, the main body also received a string of messages at this moment.
[Congratulations on your victory in the war, spoils are being calculated…]
[Congratulations to Lord Qi Lin for achieving…]
[Congratulations on successfully defeating the enemy alliance, you have gained the right to choose a Divine Ability.]
[You may choose one of the opponent’s Divine Abilities: War Aura, Foresight, Absolute Command, Avoid the Edge…]
“Divine Abilities can be plundered too?”
A trace of surprise flashed across Qi Lin’s face, and his gaze was drawn in, then he began to check them one by one.
[War Aura: Your troops gain +1% defense, attack, and speed.]
[Absolute Command: Your troops are strictly disciplined and will unconditionally obey your orders on the battlefield.]
[Foresight: Once per day, you can actively predict the fortune or misfortune of an event or object, and receive some information from the void.]
“Foresight?”
Qi Lin paused, giving up the idea of continuing to look.
“This seems to be Qin Hang’s Divine Ability, right?”
As the victor, he could possess everything from the opposing alliance, so these Divine Abilities naturally came from the members of the Redemption Alliance.
“I’ll choose this one, not for any other reason, I just like the feeling of strategizing from behind the scenes.”
He immediately chose Foresight as his Divine Ability.
Once he grasped this ability, its usage method naturally became clear to him.
To put it simply, it was a type of divination ability, usable once per day, and not guaranteed to always provide information—it also depended on the difficulty of the prediction.
For example, if he wanted to predict the origin of the Big Bang, that would be pointless; but if he wanted to predict whether it would rain tomorrow, he might get a result.
It sounded mysterious, but Qi Lin didn’t mind, because Divine Abilities could also be enhanced.
With the incarnations responsible for battle, he could just relax in the back as a support.
Soon, the calculation of spoils was complete.
This time, as a war was normally initiated, he could obtain everything from the opponent.
Gold coins, territory, building resources, and so on—with these, his development speed would increase greatly.
As a Lord, quietly developing was just a small path; real wealth depended on war.
At this moment, the territory displayed on his terminal bloomed like a galaxy, scattered across the island, with more than a hundred territories.
But in the end, these territories didn’t have much effect, because he had already decided to unify the island after this battle.
Qi Lin came outside the Lord’s Hall and immediately upgraded all the buildings within his territory, including the Lord’s Hall itself.
However, this time, the upgrade required more time—a full day was needed to complete.
Even to see his territory reach an intermediate town would take at least until tomorrow, and that was with worker acceleration.
Of course, the construction of the Alliance Hall couldn’t be left behind this time.
Besides the Alliance Hall, Qi Lin also built some auxiliary structures, such as the Alliance Warehouse, Defense Tower, Alliance Quarry, and Alliance Lumberyard.
Strictly speaking, the Alliance Hall was almost identical to the Lord’s Hall, only one was collective and the other was individual.
Correspondingly, the resources required for upgrading the alliance were greater, meant for alliance members to donate resources and develop together.
However, this time, the defeat of the opposing alliance was entirely thanks to Qi Lin’s strength, and all the spoils were with him.
He never expected anything from these allies—if he had to provide upgrade resources himself, so be it.
He had a feeling that the role of the alliance would become more significant later.
“But these guys were loyal to me after all, willing to hold off the Elven army. It seems I can’t treat them poorly.”
Qi Lin rubbed his forehead in thought.
What should he reward them with?
The alliance had five ranks: one Alliance Master, two Deputy Masters, ten Elders, fifty Elite Members, and the rest were regular members.
These forty-plus Lords were all elite members—what more did they want, really!
Gold coins? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Resources? No way, I’m broke myself.
After thinking it over, what did he have the most of?
“Forget it, I’ll give them a few peasants each. Just enough to feel included.”
Qi Lin quickly decided.
Four peasants per Lord, so all together just over a hundred gold coins—a trivial amount compared to his ten thousand in savings.
Mainly, peasants could speed up their development.
Yes, that’s right.
They would definitely marvel at the Alliance Master’s generosity.
Of course, this would have to wait until after the war.
If a few Lords died, he could save a few peasants, right?
What he needed to do now was to open the terminal and declare his sovereignty on the world chat.
“I’m going to unify the entire island. Who agrees and who opposes?”
As soon as he said this, the messages that had been flooding the chat suddenly stopped, and the whole world chat fell into silence.
“Those who agree, pay fifty gold coins to Lu Renjia for registration.”
Qi Lin didn’t care whether anyone responded, and continued posting his own messages.
When it came time to act, he would only look at the names on the list; for those not listed, fifty gold coins wouldn’t be enough.
“You’re freaking insane! Fifty gold coins, why don’t you just rob us?!”
Immediately, a hot-tempered Lord stood up and cursed at Qi Lin.
“Have you gone mad for money? A useless loser trying to unify the island, are you a JQKA or something?!”
“If you have the guts, try to kill us all. Even with a hundred thousand Lords united, we couldn’t beat you alone?”
“Want to collect money? No way!”
“That’s right, do you really think beating Qin Hang makes you invincible?”
“Boss, I have a question. I paid the alliance fee earlier—now that there’s a vacancy, can I join…”
“I want to join the alliance too. I’ve sent you the entry fee!”
There were curses, but also those scrambling to join.
Qi Lin didn’t care; he would deal with them one by one.
“For those who’ve already paid the alliance fee, I’ll give priority consideration.”
He ignored the insults and gave a reply to the previous Lords.
“Oh, by the way, if you want to join the alliance now, the entry fee is five hundred!”
