Counterattack the Dark Tide?
Completely eradicate the entire Dark World?
How grand!
If the entire world could be freed from the threat of Dark Creatures, allowing the entire universe to achieve complete peace...
If such a grand wish could be fulfilled.
Then not only would the Lord World be liberated, but the Adventurer World would also be liberated.
The beautiful world described in the storyteller's books might truly come to pass.
However...
At this thought, the Commander's gaze immediately darkened.
The problem lies in the fact that such a world might be too beautiful, but if too many people achieve such beauty, then some will lose the power they originally held.
For example, the Lords of their Lord World!
Just as the Commander had previously thought, not everyone might be willing to see this happen.
The common people of the Lord World would certainly be happy.
Even if they couldn't go to the Dark World or live a rich and prosperous life, one thing was certain: the era of Lord rule would end, the system might disappear, and in the Lord World, Lords and common people would become equal.
So...
In this situation, who would suffer the most significant loss of benefits?
Of course, it would be the Lords!
Imagine, as a Lord, you possess extraordinary status, able to command troops from another world as your most loyal subordinates.
You can gallop through the Dark World, slaughtering and plundering at will, becoming a hegemon.
But suddenly, one day...
Something will happen that will strip you of everything you currently possess!
You will lose the loyalty of all your troops.
You will become an ordinary human.
You will lose all the benefits that come with the identity of a Lord.
What would you do?
The Commander knew without thinking that 99% of Lords would do everything in their power to prevent this from happening.
Especially those deeply entrenched Lords.
For example, the Angel Clan, the Behemoth Clan, or other inherited families; they have very deep roots in the Dark World, possessing immensely vast territories, they are the emperors of that world, existing above tens of thousands of people.
At this time.
You ask them to give up all their power and become ordinary people? How is that possible?
Although so far, there is no definite information or data indicating that the system would disappear after counterattacking the Dark Tide and completely eliminating the Dark World.
But one thing is certain: the emergence of the system was originally to suppress these Dark Creatures.
If the Dark Creatures were gone, what would the system suppress?
What would be its purpose?
Even if the possibility of its disappearance is only 1%, as beneficiaries, those powerful families would not be willing to gamble.
Although the schools have always promoted the spirit of counterattack and praised those Dungeon Lords who bravely counterattacked, promotion and praise are one thing, but actually doing it is another.
Currently.
The Dark Creatures have not shown any potential to threaten themselves; they are all suppressed beneath the world's surface, only coming out during the Dark Tide to wander around, and then they still have to obediently return underground.
It has been like this for hundreds of years.
It has never changed for hundreds of years.
In this situation, on one hand, there are 'their own people' who might threaten their power and status; on the other hand, there are targets suppressed in the Dark World, ostensibly to be eliminated and potentially threatening, but in reality, they haven't caused much danger for hundreds of years.
At this time, how the War Lord would choose, the Commander truly couldn't say or guarantee.
Based on these reasons, what the Commander is currently worried about is...
Once those powerful families realize this, they might act unfavorably towards this Dungeon Lord.
In fact, including the Commander himself, he had just fallen into a dilemma.
His identity is not that of a Lord.
Otherwise, he wouldn't hold these positions in the Lord World.
But he also has a family behind him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be in this position as an ordinary person.
So, in some respects, the Commander is also a beneficiary, a member who enjoys the class benefits brought by the identity of a Lord.
His hesitation and indecision shown earlier.
Ultimately...
He was also afraid and worried, afraid of losing his own interests, afraid of losing his family's interests, afraid of being targeted by other powerful families due to his series of actions.
He is different from his assistant.
As an ordinary person, his assistant had heard slogans about counterattacking the Dark Tide since childhood, and what was instilled in them was the theory that the enemy was the Dark Creatures of the Dark World.
And whether it was a Lord or a common person.
Everyone's actions were striving for this goal, with no distinction of high or low status.
This is the core of the Lord World's propaganda.
So, upon hearing that a Dungeon Lord could counterattack the Dark Tide, the assistant's first reaction was excitement.
He had no idea...
Those so-called slogans were merely to create a common enemy, to better control them.
As for whether to counterattack?
Whether to completely eliminate the Dark Creatures of the Dark World, this matter is actually still open for discussion!
Or rather...
Even if they wanted to counterattack before, they didn't have the conditions, so the question of 'whether to' didn't exist.
And now, this question has arisen.
After much consideration, the Commander chose 'yes.' At this moment, he couldn't help but be impressed by his own noble character; he himself hadn't expected that between family interests and the greater good of the world, he would choose the latter.
"I hope future generations will remember me favorably..."
After leaving the main gate, the Commander smiled helplessly and quickly walked towards the teleportation array in Awakening Square.
This is also one of the only 'magical' substances in the Lord World; through this teleportation array, one can quickly travel to the most central city of the Lord World and find Lord Liu Yuanxuan, one of the Seven Chieftains.
In this current world, he is the only one who has shown an absolute willingness to counterattack the Dark Tide.
Liu Yuanxuan has repeatedly emphasized in the Chieftain's Council that the Dark Creatures of the Dark World cannot always be content with being suppressed by the system and will inevitably seek various ways to break through the seal.
If they don't find a way now and deal with these Dark Creatures as soon as possible.
Until that day...
If these Dark Creatures escape, they will face a great catastrophe!
