The next day. Three days remained until the end of the month!
After an afternoon and a full night of debate, compounded by the failure of last night's raid, the peripheral lords finally made up their minds and split into two factions.
About two-thirds of the lords chose to relinquish control of their armies. Most of these lords were poorly developed, with scores far too low to make the leaderboard, destining them to return to Cuiwei Star after this phase.
They didn't care about troop casualties; their greatest desire was to earn more points so they could return to Cuiwei Star and live a life of leisure.
As for the remaining one-third, they consisted of a few lords whose scores were just shy of the leaderboard, and a handful of opportunistic leaderboard-ranked lords like the four Xiong Family brothers, who were just there to fish in troubled waters.
