"Besides, regardless of whether Mei Yuan has been parasitized, his current points aren't enough to get him on the leaderboard anyway."
"That's because his powerful heroes and soldiers have all been parasitized. The Combat Points from their battles don't go to him—they all go to the Eye Demon."
"So, Mei Yuan, who is doomed to fail the second stage, doesn't care about his soldiers at all."
...
Hearing Li Hua's resolute voice, the lords fell silent.
A battle like this was completely outside their calculations.
They just wanted to earn some points and try to get on the leaderboard. But if their soldiers suffered too many casualties, even if they made the leaderboard, they'd just get taught a harsh lesson in the third stage. In that case, it would be better to just take their points and retire for the season.
(The third stage is a confrontation stage, featuring constant combat.)
"Lord Li, if that's the case, I think..."
"Hehehe, you want to quit, don't you?"
