Strategy game? Then I'll have to control you properly.

With Attila's skillful persuasion and Mista's decisive action, a dramatic agreement was reached at the moment Mista revealed the information he knew to Attila, who had now become his ally.

"There's a man named Theodore who's been trying to plunder and conquer, rapidly expanding his power in this area... I've only heard about it, but he already has over a hundred warriors under his command."

"They're conquerors who plundered around here. I think I know who they are."

Upon hearing Mista mention who the conqueror of this region was, Attila nodded, indicating that he roughly knew the man.

The raiders they recently attacked, including the group with the dark mage mixed in, were clearly Theodore's men.

"Theodore, who has swallowed up countless small tribes and is constantly expanding his power, will not stop. He will definitely continue to extend north and east, and one day he will sweep over this place, and more and more people like us will be driven out."

Mista warned that Theodore, acting as a conqueror, would soon sweep through the area, and Attila, who had actually fought against the remnants of Theodore's forces, did not deny Mista's words.

The conquerors and plunderers rising up in various places will eventually become a huge obstacle that must be faced.

But we must respond to Mista's questions.

At this moment, Mista's question was tantamount to asking: Can you truly protect us from the invasion of foreign enemies?

Attila replied, "Mista, I'll be frank with you, no matter how many warriors they gather or what methods they use to attack, we will prevail."

"How is this possible? Even if the land is incredibly fertile, we..."

Mista couldn't understand Attila's effortless reply at all.

After all, what he saw was only the tip of the iceberg; Attila didn't even mention what kind of favors they had received.

"Like this?"

"What!? What, what is this!?"

At that very moment, just as Mista's people had completed their emergency migration preparations, everyone present suddenly floated into the air.

Attila looked up at Mista, who had floated into the void with the cries of surprise, and laughed heartily: "That great one has accepted you all. Do not be alarmed, surrender your bodies to Him."

"Wait, wait a minute! No one said this would happen!!"

Terrified, Mista, like the other residents, let out a high-pitched scream that was completely out of character for a chieftain and warrior, but the screams quickly dissipated into the distance as they flew eastward toward the village.

"Can it transport around thirty people at a time...?"

As the Mista tribe became an ally, Lin Miao, who had unlocked the mouse control function, kept dragging and clicking on the residents to move between the screen.

Since experiencing the efficiency of mouse control, I have never hesitated to use it again.

Attila, watching all this from his desktop background, looked up at the residents who were being lifted into the air by the scruff of their necks, flailing their limbs, and silently counted their numbers.

Because the number of people transported at one time was limited, Lin Miao had to use the mouse to transport the people in five batches.

◆◆◆

"It saves time, which is great, but it seems to cause motion sickness for some people."

After Attila successfully persuaded Mista and accomplished his goal.

Watching them pack their luggage. Although there were elderly people and children in the group, and it might take a day or even longer to cross multiple screens to reach the village, Lin Miao didn't have the patience to wait that long.

The moment the hostile or neutral relationship ended and the Mista tribe members became allies, Lin Miao immediately activated the mouse control function, grabbed them, and threw them directly into the village.

Although a maximum of thirty people can be transported at a time, it doesn't take long anyway. After repeating the operation a few times, the entire migration was completed in just a few minutes.

"..."

"This, this is..."

The stunned new residents stared blankly at the village that had suddenly appeared before them, many of them dry heaving in pain.

But they'll get used to it soon, just like their predecessors Attila and Lillie, without batting an eye.

Even now, while hanging upside down in mid-air, Attila and Lillie can still chat leisurely.

"Let them figure out how to take care of the residents themselves."

With hundreds of new villagers flooding in at once, chaos was to be expected.

However, Lin Miao didn't care much. In any case, the task of comforting and teaching them could be left to the first group of people who arrived.

Once they've settled down with the help of their seniors, I'll investigate their individual strengths and abilities and assign them to suitable positions.

What Lin Miao is really concerned about right now is how to motivate the villagers to expand their influence more actively, just like today.

Lin Miao was now worrying about the file transfer device, wanting to send a gift to Attila, the like-minded clan leader.

"What should I give as a gift?"

The problem lies in what to send and how to send it.

Actually, Lin Miao was also confused when she received the gold ring from Attila. When they presented the spoils of war, it turned into a document and suddenly popped up on the monitor as soon as Lin Miao selected it.

He foolishly reached out to touch the screen, and of course nothing happened.

"Could it be?"

With a try-it-and-see attitude, Lin Miao used the transmitter to search for files that could be sent on the computer.

The first thing I clicked on was a few photos in the album—strangely, some files could be transferred, while others were locked.

"500P per use is outrageously expensive."

The cost is quite high; misuse could be unbearable.

Points are equivalent to the power required for the system to run programs. Considering that these programs are nothing short of miraculous for desktop users, there is a reason why they are expensive.

"But it's necessary after all, isn't it?"

Lin Miao stared at the bustling residents on the screen for a moment, then finally made up her mind that this expense was absolutely necessary.

Attila's trust and dedication to the other inhabitants.

Although he was not the omnipotent and absolute being they imagined, as a partner sharing an important mission, Lin Miao felt he had to reciprocate their trust.

Extravagant things are superfluous. No matter how exquisite the gift, it's nothing compared to what the program you're using creates.

Symbolic meaning seems to be more important than functionality.

"Will this really work?"

Lin Miao nervously opened the screenshot software and browser at the same time. It wasn't for the residents to use, but just to create an image file.

What Lin Miao found online were all items used by rulers to strengthen their authority: magnificent crowns, bronze mirrors and other jewelry, swords, and so on.

This gift was meant to show Attila his support, so it had to be something helpful to him.

"A sword is more suitable than a crown."

Although they were torn between the crown and the sword, they ultimately chose the sword. After all, it's debatable whether a crown would have any significance for a tribe that lived a semi-nomadic life, but they were certainly very skilled with swords.

Of course, this is a sword to be presented to the recognized leader, and it is by no means an ordinary item. Anyway, iron swords can be obtained easily these days.

Lin Miao found a picture online, took a screenshot, and made it into an image file. It was a sword that was so gorgeous and complicated that it looked like it would appear in a fantasy game.

The straight, snow-white blade is covered with intricate and elaborate gold patterns, and a huge ruby ​​inlaid in the hilt sparkles.

"It's a success!"

The next moment, the guess became a reality. The instant the transfer button was clicked, the sword image downloaded from the internet was indeed sent.

For Lin Miao, it was just an image file, but for those of them living on a computer desktop, it was a completely different story.

Lin Miao witnessed the gift being delivered descending from the sky accompanied by a dazzling flash of light.

"!"

The newlyweds, who were building the castle with square stone bricks, were stunned into silence. Even their experienced mentors, who had been calmly guiding them, were so shocked that they fell to the ground in surprise.

Attila stared wide-eyed at the object that had fallen from the sky and slammed into the ground with a thud.

The response was quite positive. Lin Miao, who had put a lot of thought into preparing the gift, couldn't help but laugh out loud at the sight.

"—!"

Soon, Attila cautiously approached the sword that Lin Miao had given him.

The others also seemed to believe that only their leader Attila was qualified to touch it, and they simply stood back and watched until he stepped forward.

"very good."

Then Attila carefully grasped the hilt and drew the sword. The capable man instantly understood Lin Miao's intention and raised the sword high to declare his identity and source of authority to all the tribesmen, including the new members.

That's enough. Now they understand the significance of this gift and will act accordingly.

Of course, for now they will eventually have to return to the game to continue gathering resources and hunting monsters, but they will definitely be more proactive in the future.
