( The next day, Terra Nova Online )
The next day within the world of Terra Nova Online was a wild one.
Leo was nearly paralyzed from the mental exhaustion he had suffered the previous day, and mostly slept throughout the gaming hours, where he and Ben traveled back to the Eastern Barony in silence.
The only productive thing that they did that day was to write an imperial letter addressed to the Emperor where the explained the situation that took place within the Southern Duchy and their role in taking down three Demon Counts total.
With Leo's probation now in effect. He was not allowed to make any waves, hence he returned to Crest-Hill Barony obediently and did not even bother peeking out of his carriage window once.
However, while Leo was washed out and mentally exhausted. His previous commands to 'The Uprising' caused the organization to gain their single biggest victory in a day.
Three counties were annexed under their rule one after another, as for some inexplicably odd reason, the defense of the three counties had been reduced to bare minimum, with there being barely any soldiers to oppose their charge.
Wherever the rebels attacked, they won with ease, as within 6 short hours, they managed to quadruple the size of land they controlled within the Southern Duchy, annexing a full three Counties.
On one hand, ChaosBringer could almost not believe it, as he could not fathom how their inexperienced forces won such a big fight so easily, however, it wasn't until the end of the day when he realized why things had been so easy.
Apparently, The Elves had rebelled against the Emperor after finding out that Thumba City had been leveled, and in panic, the Count surrounding the Elven territory whose land was under attack sent a letter begging for help to all surrounding lords.
Honor bound and driven by a sense of duty, all the southern nobles responded to the call for help, and rode at once towards the Elven borders, trying to contain the rebellion.
Unfortunately for them however, their march towards the Elven borders left their own territories defenseless, giving 'The Uprising' their single easiest win in history.
Of-course Leo had not planned any of this. He did not carefully calculate, nor did he orchestrate these chain of events, however, in ChaosBringer's mind he did.
After this win, ChaosBringer was convinced that 'TheBoss' was some higher dimensional being.
Some 4D chess master who saw moves that the common man could never, and felt his devotion towards his new master surge tenfold.

( Within The Uprising Guild Chat )
The atmosphere within The Uprising's guild chat was electric after the victory, with all members praising upper management wholeheartedly for their decision to attack with haste.
"I finally get why the bosses are the bosses and why we should just do as we are told.
I was a bit hesitant to respond to this all hands on deck call, however, it proved to be a great decision–"
"Today's a party! If we continue winning like this we can probably conquer the entire Southern Duchy by the end of this year!"
"Praise ChaosBringer! His foresightedness is legendary!"
The comments overall in the chat were all praises for the upper management and their decision to attack, however, as ChaosBringer read them, he felt this compulsion inside him to tell his guild members the truth.
"Attention all Uprising Members….. Today's a monumental day for our guild, and I would just like to take a moment and tell you some behind the scenes that went behind this attack.
I see many of you praising me for this win, but actually, it wasn't my decision to mobilize the guild on an urgent basis at all.
The decision was solely made by 'TheBoss' and I was merely the messenger.
Lord Boss sees this game in a way that our mortal brains can't even comprehend and that's why he's the best player around.
If you ask a common player on how they can reach level 300? Probably they would not be able to give you an answer.
If you asked me, how to win three Counties in one day. Even I would not be able to answer, however, nothing is impossible for Lord Boss!
With him in our Upper Management, miracles like these will become regular.
All Hail Lord Boss!"
As soon as ChaosBringer dropped this message, it ignited the chat like wildfire.
Players who had been casually scrolling through now found themselves typing frantically, their excitement and reverence for 'The Boss' reaching new heights.
What began as a simple victory celebration quickly evolved into something far more intense.
"We're witnessing history! TheBoss isn't just a player; he's a legend in the making!"
"Miracles like these only happen when you're led by someone who's more than human. TheBoss must have divine insight!"
"This is only the beginning! With Lord Boss leading us, we can conquer the entire game world!"
As the fervor grew, some members began to speak in more extreme tones, suggesting that 'The Boss' was not merely a skilled player but a messianic figure destined to guide them to ultimate victory.
A few even began to refer to themselves as "Disciples of The Boss," pledging their unwavering loyalty to him.
"From now on, I follow TheBoss wherever he leads, no questions asked."
"We should form a special group, dedicated to spreading the word of TheBoss's greatness. Imagine what we could accomplish if everyone understood his vision!"
ChaosBringer watched the chat with a mix of astonishment and concern. What had started as simple praise was quickly morphing into something akin to a cult of personality.
Yet, as he saw the energy and commitment in his guildmates' words, he couldn't help but think that maybe, just maybe, this was what they needed to improve as a group—a unifying belief in something greater than themselves.
"The Church of The Boss… it has a nice ring to it," someone joked, but the idea stuck. As the chat continued to buzz, the seeds of a new movement were sown, one that might change the face of Terra Nova Online forever.
