Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Inside the huge banquet hall, when the deer-men nobles, covered in grease and mud, opened their eyes in confusion, they were stunned by the scene before them.

This was no longer a magnificent hall. The dusty crystal tassel chandelier above was dim and even entangled by magical vines growing out of the wall, making it look crooked.

In the dim light, the stunned deer people rubbed their aching heads and continued to look around.

The stained floor was sticky and black, covered with all kinds of moldy and rotten food residues, even to the point of being sticky and stringy. There was no trace of the original shiny and translucent marble floor at all.

On the long dining tables, which were covered with oil stains and dirt, the blackened plates that had not been washed for a long time were covered with fluorescent molds of various colors. On them were thick stove ash, rotten stews, and moldy and spoiled hard bread.

"What is going on? Why are we in such a miserable situation? Weren't we just in a wonderful and magnificent banquet?"

A series of questions and confusions arose from the still drowsy minds of the deer people, and they began to look at each other in confusion.

At this time, many people even had goblets filled with turbid liquid in their hands, and their mouths were stuffed with rotten bread that was hard and sticky.

"vomit!"

The sounds of vomiting began to echo in the banquet hall, adding an indescribable warm smell to the banquet hall, which was already filled with the pungent smell of stench and alcohol.

For a moment, even the deer-man guards guarding the banquet hall and the deer-man maids serving them all looked the same, wiping their mouths with a look of embarrassment.

"Master Patriarch, what on earth is going on?"

The elder who led the way stood up from the ground, holding his dizzy head, and asked Terry who was also stunned.

"Wait, my head is still a little dizzy."

Terry staggered up and was helped up by two deermen guards. He burped so much that even he felt extremely nauseous.

He was seen rubbing his swollen head, and his originally confused eyes suddenly shrank, obviously recalling a series of scenes not long ago.

"Master Patriarch, the famine is getting worse. So far, at least 90% of the cities and villages have sent requests for assistance, and the rest have completely lost contact!"

In the mottled and dim meeting hall of the Deer People, a Deer People elder with a sad face reported to Terry who was sitting at the top seat.

"Master, the people from the throne corridor are asking for this month's tribute again. If we don't provide them with enough food and grass, the Broken Wing King will probably make an example of us, the Moon Shadow Deer People, and start a war with us."

Another deer man elder sighed and added a sentence.

As soon as the two deer people elders finished speaking, the others began to report at once.

"Master Patriarch, there has been no progress in the exploration of new mineral veins that you ordered, and the other magic mineral veins that are being mined in the tribe have been exhausted one after another!"

"Master Patriarch, including Moon Shadow City and this castle, we haven't replaced the magic crystals for the absolute defense barrier and other barriers for half a year. Maintenance has completely come to a standstill. Even the light crystals used for lighting are extremely scarce in most areas!"

"Master Chief, recent heavy rains have caused severe flooding in many areas, which has made our situation even more difficult. Not to mention that the low-level monsters in the forest have already moved their habitats, those hungry tribesmen have even started hunting high-level monsters above level 5, and the result is that they all suffered heavy losses!"

"Master, all the major training grounds in the city have been closed for more than half a year due to the lack of magic crystals for maintenance. This has seriously affected the training progress of the younger generation of deer people!"

"Master, the manager of the Shadow Market has sent a message that if the trading volume of the Moon Shadow Deer People like us is not enough next time, our admission qualification will be revoked and we will no longer be invited."

……

After hearing this series of reports, Terry's face turned pale and looked extremely ugly, because he could hear this news almost every day, and it was getting more serious day by day.

Terry forced himself to calm down and asked with a hint of expectation: "How is the request we sent to the surrounding forces? As long as they can help us overcome this difficulty, we, the Moon Shadow Deer People, will never treat them unfairly in the future!"

"Master Hui, according to the report from the envoys who just returned, all the surrounding forces have rejected our request because they are already busy with their own affairs."

The Great Elder sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly.

"This bunch of ungrateful bastards, when we were at the peak of our power, all of them followed us around and sought benefits. Now they are unwilling to even lend a helping hand!"

Terry slammed the table hard, his face becoming more gloomy.
Hearing this, all the Deer People elders fell silent and lowered their heads helplessly.

After being defeated by the Broken Wing King, the severely damaged Moon Shadow Deer People were no longer as powerful as they used to be. Coupled with the Broken Wing King's increasingly unscrupulous plundering in recent years and the weakness of the newly appointed tribe leader, the situation of the Moon Shadow Deer People has become even more difficult.

Although it is said that a lean camel is bigger than a horse, in the face of natural disasters like today, this is undoubtedly the last straw that breaks the camel's back, releasing all the previous hidden worries.

"Don't you have any good ideas?"

In his impotent rage, Terry asked again with a gloomy look.

Hearing this, all the deer people elders continued to remain silent.

If there was a way, they would have proposed it long ago, but the reality is that the Moon Shadow Deer Man had already walked into his death without knowing it.

"Everyone, go away. If you still don't come up with a solution by tomorrow, I will hold you accountable!"

Terry, who suddenly felt overwhelmed, snorted coldly, then stood up from his seat and left.

As this scene ended, another scene emerged in the mind of the deer man chief.

"Master Patriarch, are you really determined to do this?"

In the dark barrier area that held the core of the Moon Shadow Magic Circle, a group of Deermen elders stood behind Terry with uneasiness on their faces and asked.

"What else can we do? Only by letting the tribe members recall the heyday of the past can they have the motivation to overcome this difficulty!"

Terry stood on the platform with his hands behind his back and said firmly: "This is the only way out for us!"

"But the Moon Shadow Magic Array is our clan's protective array. It is the last resort to use against the enemy in times of crisis. How can it be used on ourselves?"

The Great Elder stepped forward first, his face full of uneasiness.

"Do you have any other better ideas?"

Terry snorted coldly, then said with a gloomy face.

"This……"

The elders looked at each other, all speechless for a moment.

"Or are you questioning the decision of this clan leader?"

The majestic antlers on Terry's head flashed a sharp light and he questioned again.

"...I don't dare to wait."

The Great Elder sighed helplessly and had no choice but to obey.

Soon, under Terry's command, he and a group of deer people elders quickly surrounded the platform and began to chant together.

As the chanting became louder and louder, a pale golden light quickly emerged from the originally dim platform, and soon formed two pale golden discs, one large and one small, like two full moons hanging high in the sky.

After the magic circle was cast, the group left the barrier area with trepidation. When they saw the mottled reception room with peeling walls turned into a magnificent one, both Terry and the other deer elders couldn't help but feel excited.

Faintly, everyone even smelled the long-lost flavor of Starfall Pie. That was a top-notch delicacy that could only be made with rare and precious ingredients!

Even though everyone knew that this was just the effect of the Moon Shadow Magic Circle and that they were still chewing on hard bread, they still couldn't help but salivate and kept swallowing their saliva.

"Notify all places to hold a banquet immediately!"

Terry waved his hand and took action together with the deer people elders.

However, no one noticed at this moment that the core of the Moon Shadow Magic Circle, which was originally shining, suddenly flashed a hint of scarlet and quickly disappeared.

Further on, there is the third picture.

“Everyone, although all this is just a grand scene bestowed upon us by the Moon Shadow Magic Array, this clan leader believes that as long as we work together, we will be able to regain the glory and splendor of the past!”

In the magnificent and luxurious banquet hall, Terry, standing among all kinds of delicacies, held up a goblet, looked shaky, and said drunkenly: "Everyone, raise your glasses with this clan leader! May the Moon Shadow Deer People prosper!"

"May the Moon Shadow Deer People prosper!"

All the deer people made the same movements and said in unison.

After three rounds of drinking, the great elder came to Terry and whispered, "Chief, the banquet has been going on for a whole day. According to the plan, we should end it now."

"Everyone is having a great time, why are you ruining the fun here?"

Terry burped, then glanced at the Great Elder and said, "If we don't satisfy everyone, how can we revive our spirits in reality?"

Hearing this, the Great Elder could only shake his head and sigh, then casually grabbed a plate of the fragrant Xingluo Sect.

After a while, until Terry was already staggering and unable to stand steadily, the great elder came over again and reminded him, "Master Patriarch, it should be time this time, right?"

"Yes, it's time. After all, only I, as the main spellcaster, can easily remove that barrier."

Terry put down the goblet and began to walk towards the reception room with the help of two servants. He nodded vaguely and said, "I will end this illusory dream right away."

However, just when the group was halfway there, the core of the glittering Moon Shadow Magic Circle began to glow scarlet again, and a bewitching energy wave immediately surged out.

Wherever the energy wave reached, Terry and his companions couldn't help but tremble, and then they looked dazed.

"Master, what are we going to do?"

After a while, the great elder who was walking in front turned around in confusion, with a bewildered look on his face.

"We, the Moon Shadow Deer People, stand at the top of the second-rate forces. We are prosperous and powerful, and we have no worries about food and clothing. What else can we do?"

Terry burped again, then waved his hand and laughed, "Of course I'm going back to the party!"

"That's right, I can't wait to have another bite of Starfall Pie!"

The elders quickly followed suit, and the group turned around and walked towards the banquet hall.

"Master Patriarch, Master Elder, please wake up!"

At this moment, a clear female voice sounded, full of urgency: "Quickly end the Moon Shadow Magic Circle, otherwise it will be too late!"

Where the sound came from, the figure of a thin young deer man with broken horns appeared vaguely, but was soon completely blocked by the magic circle.

Needless to say, this is naturally Rosa.

"Hmm? Did you guys just hear anything?"

Terry turned his head slightly, and when he saw nothing, he asked the others.

"I heard the crisp sound of the Xingluo Sect's cooking pot. Go back quickly. I can't wait any longer!"

The Great Elder didn't even stop, he just wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

"How come even you guys are so caught up in this? Wake up!"

Rosa looked helplessly at Terry and his group who turned around and left. Just as she was about to step forward to stop them, a group of violent correctors appeared beside her and attacked her fiercely.

In desperation, knowing she was no match for her opponent, Rosa had to grit her teeth and turn around and run. In the end, she only left behind an extremely embarrassed and thin figure as she disappeared at the end of the corridor.

As this series of images flashed through his mind, Terry suddenly shook off the arms of the two guards who were helping him up, with a look of regret and surprise on his face.

He now realized that as the caster of the spell, he was completely immersed in the illusory dream and could not extricate himself, and had been living in a drunken state until now.

"What time is it now? How long have we been controlled by the Moon Shadow Magic Circle?"

Terry questioned loudly, but no one answered because everyone present was just like him, having just woken up from a false illusion.

At one moment, the other deer people who were either vomiting or confused also reacted one after another and looked at each other.

Everyone knew clearly that if they continued to indulge in the fantasy, the only outcome would be drowning. Their weak bodies and confused thoughts said it all.

“By the way, how was the Moon Shadow Magic Circle removed? Whoever it was, he is the savior of us Moon Shadow Deer People!”

Just when Terry and others were full of confusion, Lei Xiao and his group had already appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall.

"Your Majesty the Human Emperor?"

The Great Elder obviously had not forgotten the former, and blurted out: "Could it be that you saved us, the Moon Shadow Deer People?"

Hearing this, the other deer people also cast their gazes over, with expressions of gratitude that could not be suppressed. (End of this chapter)
