Chapter 958
Even though this was the first time Siena and Nalea met Rhode, he couldn’t be more familiar with them. It could also be said that any players who experienced the second phase of the game knew who the twin dragons were.
In the game, they were the only BOSS-level figures who players were afraid to mess with and not even Rhode ever considered attacking the Country of Law. Even though the Country of Law was relatively sealed-off, had a neutral diplomatic stance, and never provoked players and foreign organizations, this didn’t mean that players wouldn’t consider attacking them. For instance, Erin was also like a mascot of the Country of Darkness where she wasn’t involved with anything apart from acting cute for players and assigning missions to them. In the end, she was instantly slaughtered by players after Rhode killed the Dark Dragon and she lost the protection of the moon. This went to show that being harmless definitely wasn’t the reason why players wouldn’t kill someone.
However, the reason why players didn’t attack the Country of Law was really simple.
The Judgment & Ruling Twin Dragons were insanely powerful.
Everyone knew that the Country of Law’s churches were responsible for supervising the signing of contracts. It was due to this that various countries and organizations didn’t need to worry that their signed contracts would become obsolete. The only exception was when the Country of Light and Country of Darkness signed their second truce agreement. Back then, the Country of Light was terribly paranoid, where after they were tortured by the undead army, they treated all non-human races with hostility. As a result, they signed the truce agreement publicly with the Country of Darkness without the supervision from the Country of Law and thereafter… the Country of Darkness tore the agreement because to them, humans were just lowly slaves who were in no position to speak about trust with them.
On the other hand, there were also many fearless organizations formed by players. Everyone knew that players loved to exploit advantages and it went without saying that many of them took advantage of a contract’s loophole. It was especially so after the players’ era arrived and many guilds started to grow. That was when they compelled others to agree and sign their clauses. Occasionally, some guilds didn’t honor their words after their clauses were signed because this was merely a game to them and only fools would be serious enough to talk about trust. It was due to this that some guilds took things further and eventually got caught in a conflict with the Country of Law.
The conflict happened in the initial stages of gaining new territories. Apart from Starlight, there were four other large, powerful guilds. Among the four, two were interested in the same resourceful territory and signed an agreement to jointly develop it. Of course, it was signed under the supervision of the Country of Law.
But in the final juncture of developing the territory, when the tinder was about to be awakened, one of the two guilds suddenly rose in revolt and eradicated the other guild completely, claiming the controlling rights of the new territory.
It went without saying that the guild that was backstabbed reported this matter to the Country of Law immediately. After thorough investigations, the Country of Law dispatched the churches’ guards and pursued the guild that violated the agreement. It went without saying that players weren’t favorable of being under the supervision of NPCs. As a result, the guild that violated the agreement ridiculed the other guild for being ‘a group of trash who clings to NPCs for support’ and sent out their men to destroy the churches’ guards. In fact, it was common for players to go against the rules, but most of the time, they couldn’t defeat the churches’ guards. Therefore, they would either hide in the wilderness of the mountains or wait to be captured since the punishment dealt to them was either having their possessions confiscated or issuing fines.
However, as this guild took things too far, Siena and Nalea showed up and dealt with them personally.
