Killing enemies increases your attributes and you rise from cannon fodder!

"Duke Ribot is a duke who owns territory. He's not affiliated with our intelligence organization. How could you possibly have any connection with him? Not to mention, you're dealing with other noble lords within his jurisdiction."

King Tani Huanjia came to his senses a little more and couldn't help but question.

The Duke of the Illusion Armor Tribe explained, "The intelligence organization of the Elk Tribe sent a message saying that within the Elk Tribe's sphere of influence, there are hints of a treasure emerging.

His subordinates who are good at concealment are currently in seclusion and trying to break through. They are unable to go to the Elk Tribe to cooperate with the intelligence organization of the Elk Tribe to collect information about the treasure and seize it.

One of my marquises recommended a marquis in the Duke of Ribot's jurisdiction who was skilled in concealment. However, when I asked my marquis to contact him, he was unable to do so.

I had no choice but to personally travel to Duke Ribot's home planet to inquire about the Marquis's situation. However, none of the high-ranking guard commanders on the home planet, and direct descendants of Duke Ribot, were able to contact him.

I also tried to have the high-level guard commanders of the main planet, the direct descendants of Duke Ribot, try to contact other marquises, earls, viscounts and barons, but strangely found that all the noble lords under the jurisdiction of Duke Ribot had lost contact.

I feel this is a matter of grave importance. I will temporarily arrest all high-ranking guard commanders and the direct descendants of Duke Ribot, forcing them to prevent any external contact, and report this to the King immediately!"

"Is this true?"

King Tani of Phantom Armor frowned.

"Every word is true. I dare not lie in the slightest."

The Duke of the Phantom Armor Clan gave an affirmative answer.

"You did well. Duke Ribot is probably leading a team on some special operations mission. For now, you will continue to control all high-ranking guard commanders and Duke Ribot's descendants who are aware of the situation. Wait for my news and notification."

King Tani's Phantom Armor immediately ended the call. After a little thought, he injected another stream of energy into the communication magic weapon to contact King Cole's Phantom Armor, who was in charge of all internal affairs.

Soon, the virtual image of King Cole's Phantom Armor appeared in front of him.

One of them was in charge of the Illusion Armor Clan's intelligence organization, while the other was in charge of all the internal affairs of the Illusion Armor Clan. In comparison, King Cole of Illusion Armor was of a higher level of strength and had a higher position of authority.

But they are only one level higher, both are at the level of clan kings, and are nominally equal.

Therefore, King Tani Huanjia didn't waste time on small talk and asked directly, "Duke Ribot, are you leading a team on some important secret mission?"

"no!"

King Cole of Phantom Armor gave an affirmative answer.

"Really do not have?"

King Tani Huanjia couldn't help but ask another question.

King Cole of the Phantom Armor clan was suddenly at a loss for words. "You are in charge of the intelligence organization. I don't need to tell you about any major operations involving the Phantom Armor clan, but if you ask, there's no need to hide it either."

The same goes for personal matters. If I really need to mobilize a duke to carry out a secret operation for personal reasons, since you asked, you must know something, and there is no need to hide it.

"That'll be troublesome!"

King Tani's expression darkened. All noble lords within the sphere of influence of the Phantom Armor Tribe were under the jurisdiction of King Kor. The only one who could bypass King Kor and mobilize the Phantom Armor Tribe dukes who held territories was the supreme Phantom Armor Emperor.

But normally speaking, no matter what arrangements the Phantom Armor Emperor has, he will not ignore Phantom Armor King Cole and give orders directly to the Duke of the Phantom Armor Clan.

As a result, Duke Riporte and his noble lords all lost contact, and there seemed to be no other possibility except that they were dead.

Because if Duke Riporte really wanted to take all his noble lords to carry out some action for some personal matter, he would not ignore the communication request from the duke of the same level.

He immediately informed King Cole of the news reported by his duke without missing a word.

"Wait a minute, I'll contact you later."

King Cole Huanjia immediately cut off communication and contacted Duke Ribot.

After more than half a minute without any communication, he quickly contacted a duke under his command who had no territory, and asked him to gather people and contact all the dukes who had territories to ask if anyone knew anything about Duke Riporte.

In just five or six minutes, the duke sent a communication request.

The reported news made King Cole feel like he was falling into an icy cave.

It wasn't just the Duke of Ribot; out of nearly two hundred dukes with territories, ten of them couldn't be contacted. Furthermore, even the marquises and earls under their command couldn't be contacted.

Furthermore, these missing dukes were all low-level dukes. With the exception of one level 162 and one level 161, the rest were all level 160.

The average strength of nobles who owned territories was higher than that of other nobles of the same level. Therefore, there were only eight dukes who owned territories.

This also means that all level 160 dukes who own territories have lost contact.

The weakest duke who owns the territory and his noble lords have all lost contact. It is obvious that the possibility of them being attacked and killed is at least 99%.

King Cole of the Phantom Armor didn't even have time to reply to King Tani of the Phantom Armor. He immediately notified his duke and asked him to gather people to contact all the low-level dukes who owned territories and inform them to temporarily leave their respective main planets.

Holding on to a glimmer of hope, he contacted the Huanjia Emperor and asked him whether he had mobilized these low-ranking dukes who owned territories and the noble lords under their jurisdiction.

After learning that there was none, I had no choice but to report the situation.

After the Phantom Armor Emperor confirmed the matter, he immediately notified all the high-level leaders of the Phantom Armor Clan to discuss the matter, and sent the Phantom Armor King Tani, who was good at concealment, to lead a team to the main planet where the Duke had lost contact to investigate the cause and collect clues.

……

Less than half a minute after King Cole Huanjia ordered his duke to give the order, Li Feng, who was on an ordinary life planet and was heading to the main planet where the next target duke was, received the news through a duke on the puppet list.

Soon, more puppet dukes sent messages through the puppet list.

Li Feng couldn't help but stop. Undoubtedly, this matter had been known by the top leaders of the Huanjia Clan.

This was a much better result than he expected.

Successively killing ten dukes of the Fantasy Armor Clan not only allowed him to gain a huge amount of luck and talent, but also increased his comprehensive attributes to 2.09 trillion.

Although it has not yet broken through to level 162, it is only 0.1 trillion away from the comprehensive attribute value.

Since the top leaders of the Huanjia Clan already knew about this, according to Li Feng’s plan, the first wave of attacks came to an end.

However, this is just a temporary announcement.

The top leaders of the Fantasy Armor Clan are currently in a stage of rapid adjustment. Continuing the attack is likely to lead to unexpected situations. It will not be too late to wait for a few days until the adjustments of the top leaders of the Fantasy Armor Clan stabilize.

He activated his teleportation ability and appeared in a cosmic storm area one light year away with his flying magic weapon.

With another wave of his hand, a space crack appeared, leading directly to the main planet of the Human Federation.

After returning to the main planet, Li Feng turned on his military watch and sent the battle records of the Fantasy Armor Clan over the past half month to the Federal Parliament.

Ten dukes of the Fantasy Armor Clan, and hundreds of thousands of noble lords of various ranks.

The record is brilliant and dazzling.

According to the contract signed with the Underworld, the Underworld needs to pay a reward equivalent to the resources and treasures that a hundred dukes and millions of noble lords of all levels can accumulate in their entire lives.

However, Li Feng doesn't need to worry about the follow-up.

The Federal Parliament has a professional team that has developed corresponding killing plans, processes and related video materials for these murdered Fantasy Armor nobles, and then sent them to the person in charge of the Underworld Clan.

Although all the information, data and video images were fake, the noble lords of the Fantasy Armor Clan who were killed were all real.

The Underworld Clan has always had a grudge against the Illusion Armor Clan. They have stationed an intelligence organization on the Illusion Armor Clan's side and trained a large number of insiders, so it is not difficult to find out.

……

The main planet of the Phantom Armor Emperor, in the main hall.

A group of high-ranking members of the Fantasy Armor Clan gathered together.

Everyone was quietly waiting for news from King Tani of Phantom Armor.

King Tani of Phantom Armor did not make them wait too long and soon sent a communication request to Emperor of Phantom Armor.

As the Phantom Armor King connected the communication, the virtual image of Tani Phantom Armor King appeared in the hall.

"How about it?"

Although all the high-ranking members of the Illusion Armor Clan were beings of extraordinary intelligence, they were all looking at King Tani of the Illusion Armor nervously at this moment.

There's no way, it's too scary.

It would be fine if one or two barons were attacked and killed silently.

Ten dukes and hundreds of thousands of noble lords from all walks of life had simply lost contact. This not only caused heavy losses to the Phantom Armor Clan, but also had an even more terrifying negative impact.

If this news were to spread, the entire Huanjia Clan would be thrown into extreme panic and turmoil.

King Tani Huanjia took a deep breath and shook his head slightly. "I can't find any clues. It's as if... these dukes disappeared into thin air. Even their descendants and close associates haven't noticed anything unusual.

The situation was similar for the marquises, earls, viscounts, and barons. Only a few noble lords, whose hiding places were guarded by guards, had informed the guards that they had important matters to attend to before they lost contact.

The Phantom Armor Emperor and a number of the Phantom Armor clan leaders were stunned.

In other words, these noble lords of the Fantasy Armor Clan most likely left their hiding places on their own initiative?

It sounds more like a collective defection.

But as soon as this idea came into their mind, they rejected it decisively.

Among nobles of the same level, the lord's status is higher than that of nobles without territories. Nobles without territories are further divided into those who hold important positions in various departments and those who do not.

Among those nobles who had no territories and had not obtained important positions, one or two might not be able to resist the temptation of other races and choose to become traitors or defect.

Nobles who own territories do not lack the resources and treasures required for their own level. Unless they can obtain resource materials that can greatly improve their talents, it is impossible for them to betray the Phantom Armor Clan or defect.

Not to mention, ten dukes and hundreds of thousands of noble lords of all levels defected together.

Most likely, they were lured out by some news and then attacked.

A Grand Duke of the Illusionary Armor Clan pondered, "So, not only do we not need to notify the other noble lords to temporarily leave their respective home planets, but we can also have all the dukes return to their respective home planets to minimize the negative impact?"

"no!"

As soon as this idea came out, a Phantom Armor King immediately shook his head in opposition: "From the various known information, it seems that the attackers have controlled a group of the duke's confidants or bloodline descendants, and thus found the hiding places of these attacked dukes, and were even able to follow these confidants or bloodline descendants into the attacked duke's hiding places.

After the attackers took control of the attacked duke in one fell swoop, they must have some ability or means to control the attacked duke's mind, forcing him to find a reasonable reason to order all the marquises, earls and other noble lords within his sphere of influence to quietly leave their respective main planets and gather in a star field where a trap has been set.

If the dukes were to be allowed to return to their respective home planets, there was no guarantee that the same situation would not occur. Currently, not only could these dukes not be allowed to return to their respective home planets, but they must also be instructed not to reveal their hiding places, not even to their most trusted confidants or the descendants of their bloodlines who were being carefully cultivated.

Likewise, it would be best to inform the noble lords of other classes that no matter what happens, they must not leave their hiding places."

The Phantom Armor Emperor and a group of Phantom Armor clan leaders looked thoughtful.

They did not quite agree with the decision of the Phantom Armor King, but they strongly agreed with his analysis.

After much deliberation, the Phantom Armor Emperor decided, "Notify all dukes to return to their respective home planets. Also, tell them to report immediately if any of their confidants or descendants attempt to inquire about their hiding places or even attempt to enter their space magic weapons."

The leaders of the Fantasy Armor Clan were moved and nodded one after another.

They understood what the Phantom Armor Emperor meant.

Sending all the dukes into hiding is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

The most important thing at the moment is not how to protect the dukes and noble lords, nor how to block the news as much as possible, but to find a way to ambush and eliminate the attackers and find out the race behind the attackers.

They had attacked and killed ten Illusion Armor Clan dukes and hundreds of thousands of nobles of all ranks in a single attack. The race behind the attackers must have spent tens, if not hundreds, of millions of years to recruit so many of the dukes' trusted followers and descendants.

The sudden launch of such a large-scale action is most likely intended to severely damage the Huanjia Clan at one time, or even to annex the Huanjia Clan.

The top priority is to eliminate the attackers, find out the race behind the attackers, and then develop a response plan as soon as possible.

"What about the other noble lords of various ranks?"

A Phantom Armor King asked.

After a moment's hesitation, the Phantom Armor Emperor shook his head and said, "We won't notify you for now to prevent the spread of news and panic! Regarding the setup, the Dukes will be the primary focus."

"understand!"

The high-ranking members of the Fantasy Armor Clan nodded in response.

The general direction has been reached, and the follow-up is the relevant details.

In just over ten minutes, orders were quickly issued one after another.
