This Simulated Plane brought Arthur not only with physical changes but also with an increase in his strength equal to the average strength of his Naga Race army. Even though it only lasted until the Simulated Plane mission was completed, it was because of that that Arthur became confident with his plan. His Lord Talent, Persuasion, would have an immense potential in this state, increasing a significantly high Base Chance Rate to instigate his enemy.
Soon, as the 300-man army from the Beast Race stood ready for battle, Arthur knew that the time had come to unleash the power of his Lord Talent. With a deep breath, he focused his mind and channeled the energy of his Lord Talent towards the enemy forces.
~Swoosshh
[Prompt: Group Persuasion has been activated]
There was something new he learned after using his Lord Talent several times, it made him realize how to use Persuasion in a different way.
His eyes glowed with an ethereal blue hue as the aura from his body surged forth. The energy enveloped the entire battlefield, reaching out to the hearts and minds of the Beast Race warriors. One by one, their expressions began to change, a subtle shift in their demeanor as Arthur's influence took hold.
As the seconds passed, Arthur could see the impact of his Lord Talent. The expressions of many Beast Race warriors softened, their eyes gleaming with a newfound sense of loyalty. They looked at Arthur, their once formidable enemy, with admiration and respect.
However, not all of them were affected. Some warriors resisted Arthur's Persuasion, their wills unyielding against his influence. They stood firm, their determination unwavering, ready to defend their Lord Leonidas and their village to the end.
[Prompt: Group Persuasion has successfully taken effect]
[Target: 300-man Beast Race]

[50% of the 300-man Beast Race have become your subjects.]
As the dust settled, it became clear that Arthur's Persuasion had instigated approximately 50% of the Beast Race army. The once 300-man army was now divided, half of them swayed by Arthur's Persuasion and the other half remaining loyal to their lord.
Lord Leonidas, witnessing the unexpected turn of events, felt a chill run down his spine. His fierce expression faltered for a moment as he realized that half of his own army had turned against him. His furrowed brow mirrored the turmoil within his heart.
"Lord of Beast Race," Arthur called out, his voice carrying an air of authority, "I will not bring harm to your people as long you submit and surrender all of your authority."
Lord Leonidas' eyes locked with Arthur's, a mixture of anger and disbelief in his gaze. "You dare to use such manipulative tactics against my warriors?" he growled, his voice trembling with anger.
Arthur remained steadfast, his conviction unwavering. "Lord of Beast Race. I merely offered them a different perspective, and in the end, it was their own decision to be my subject."
The tension on the battlefield was palpable as the two leaders faced off. Their advantage had been crushed instantly by Arthur's move. Half of the Beast Race warriors, now instigated by Arthur's Persuasion, stood silently, awaiting their lord's next command. The other half, loyal to Lord Leonidas, raised their weapons, prepared to defend their leader.
"Lord of Beast Race," Arthur's voice rang out, carrying a warning that echoed with authority. "You have a choice before you. Submit to my rule and spare your people from needless bloodshed, or face the consequences and fight your own brethren."
Silence descended upon the Beast Race army as all eyes turned to their leader, awaiting his response. Lord Leonidas stood tall, his regal mane flowing in the wind. His face was etched with a mix of defiance and uncertainty.
"Lord of Naga Race, you dare challenge my authority?" Leonidas growled, his voice tinged with anger. "These are my people, and I will not bow down to a tyrant!"
Arthur's eyes narrowed, his voice calm yet firm. "I offer you a chance to avoid further bloodshed, Lord of Beast Race. This is your last opportunity. Choose wisely."
The tension in the air was palpable as seconds ticked by, each passing moment like a dagger of anticipation. Arthur slowly began to count, his voice carrying a weight that pierced the hearts of every warrior present. Even Mor'kith his general and the 100-man army from Naga race were astonished by their lord's might.
"One..."
The Beast Race army shifted uneasily, their gazes flickering between their lord and the formidable force that stood under Arthur's command.
"Two..."
A murmur rippled through the Lord Leonidas's army, uncertainty mixing with anxious. The choice was clear, but the consequences loomed heavily.
"Three!"
As Arthur's voice reached its crescendo, a wave of realization washed over the Beast Race army. With a resounding roar, the Beast Race under Arthur's army raised their swords high, pointing them towards the army under Leonidas.
A chorus of conflicting emotions swirled through the Beast Race army under Leonidas. The realization of their own brethren turning against them, their swords aimed not at the enemy, but at their fellow warriors, sent shockwaves through their souls.
Leonidas, once defiant and fierce, now stood with a heavy heart. His noble visage contorted with anguish as he witnessed his people torn apart by internal strife. Howls of sadness and resignation filled the air, a mournful symphony of shattered loyalty.
In that moment, Leonidas's resolve crumbled. His pride, his defiance, all dissolved in the face of the reality before him. The weight of his choices bore down upon him, his gaze shifting from Arthur to his own army.
"I.."
