Inside the labyrinth, several teams fought hotly, and on the periphery, the competition for supplies was much more fierce than imagined.

Because the church has a fixed position for each airdrop.

100 airdrops are 100 fixed points, and whoever can occupy the points for a long time means that there will never be a shortage of supplies.

So far, there are nearly 4,000 teams left, 80% of which have come to the periphery of the maze, making a huge area feel overcrowded.

The scene here is very similar to the morning wet market, and many of the teams that have received the airdrop have already set up their stalls.

For them, it is impossible to enter the maze, and the dog's life is at stake, so they can only sell battle potions to make a living.

Rankings in melee competitions are important, but it's better to get some real benefits from the competition.

The actual benefits here can probably be summed up by the word "money".

Sounds cheesy, but it can't be helped.

The world is bustling, all for profit, every day is bustling, all for profit.

After all, not everyone is as big a dog as the Dawn Society.

Most of these teams are divided into three teams, one team is the old players, responsible for grabbing points or guarding points, the second team is a slightly stronger newcomer, responsible for fighting monsters near the periphery and brushing points, and the third team is the logistics of soy sauce and responsible for setting up stalls to buy.

Of course, there are also teams that do nothing and specialize in robbery.

That's right, it's robbery.

They don't go to the drop point, they don't go to the "market", but stay on the road to the drop point, the market, and the monster farm, laying traps and waiting for the rabbits.

At the beginning, many teams suffered their losses, and in order to avoid attrition, they had to hand over all the loot.

These "bandit teams" are also very witty, and they will change places when they grab a wave, and by the time those "victims" gather people to come and take revenge, they have long since slipped away.

As a result, in such a "harsh" environment, some of the stronger teams have developed a new business - bodyguards!

Specialize in escorting a team back to camp from various locations!

Generally speaking, the strength of the team that dares to compete for the airdrop is not weak, and it will not be worse than the bandit team, but after grabbing the airdrop, they are basically exhausted, and if they are ambushed on the way back, they may not be able to get out safely.

As a result, some teams choose to rest and wait until they are back in shape, but they soon find that they are still too young and have too good ideas.

The church drops an airdrop every two hours, and it takes half an hour just to confront each other and test each other, another half an hour for the official start of the fight, and half an hour for the cruel words or something after the fight...... After coming and going, the rest time left at the end is only about 20 minutes, and before you can adjust your condition, recover your strength and injury, the second round of airdrops will come again.

At this time, another wave of people will rush this way - they will not let go of a team with supplies and no longer able to fight, so the first round of airdrops you have worked so hard to grab will make a wedding dress for someone else.

It's better to try your luck and go straight back to the camp, so that at least there is a chance that you can keep the airdrop, and meditating on the spot is 100% of the time that the team that comes after you will be robbed.

In a sense, these teams that are not bandits are more bandits than those who are bandits.

It is precisely because of this that the "dart team", which only receives 20% of the loot as a reward, has become a sweet and sweet spot.

Whether it's airdropping supplies or hunting food, they are willing to exchange this 20% price for 80% of the stable income.

Lady Luck won't always be on her side, once she wasn't robbed, twice she wasn't robbed, what about three or four times?

As long as you run into a bandit team on any of the five occasions, the dart deal is not a loss!

These naïve students don't know that in fact, as early as the "Dart Alliance" was established, the bandit team was almost wiped out, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is there, and the justice messengers of the dart game are not used to these chickens and dogs and thieves, and they are beaten to the death when they meet, and more than 100 teams eliminated in one day, 95% of them are bandits.

So the question is, since the bandit team has been defeated, why are there so many people blocking the road and robbing them?

This is the story of a dragon slayer warrior who eventually becomes an evil dragon.

It is estimated that the regent himself did not expect that under his creative rules, this melee match would evolve into a small river and lake, although there are not many people, a total of seventy or eighty thousand, but it shows a complete "small town style".

Yes, the area outside the labyrinth is like a small town, those tents are buildings, and the students are the people living in the town, they have good people and evil people, some work tirelessly, set up stalls and hunt, and some are deceitful, and the soldiers and bandits collude, the so-called market is all kinds of things, probably that's the case, if you insist on saying that there is something missing, it is one less green building...

Ahem.

In short, those viewers who were originally going to leave the venue temporarily and come back to watch the live broadcast after the maze was broken were all dispelled.

Under the super-level performance of the gold medal director Zhou Shangshan, the live broadcast content in the past few days has been unprecedentedly coherent, like a movie.

The most important thing is that this guy understands the audience's preferences very well, and can always find those shots that are easy to mobilize emotions, and then use this as a base point for tracking and shooting, and then beautify it a little, get some more literate narration and subtitles, and finally match it with background music, just shoot an ordinary live broadcast with the feeling of "small people also have big feelings", tears and laughter are all-encompassing, and the audience is fragrant and sweet.

For now, the tournament was undoubtedly a great success.

The highest ratings broke the historical record, the highest approval rating broke the record, and the ratings viscosity also broke the record.

Gilmer was in a good mood, and the smile on his face had barely disappeared in recent times.

Originally, he thought that after the Dawn Society entered the labyrinth, the ratings of the Knights Contest would plummet, but Zhou Shangshan gave him a big surprise, as long as he continued to keep it up, in a few days, this political achievement could be a certainty!

Gilmer's joy directly left all the affairs of the Tingye Church behind.

However, this cannot be said to be a dereliction of duty, after all, the regent is in charge of internal affairs, and it is all about life, and about exploration and war, it is a matter of another department.

……

……

White Kite Castle.

The banquet hall, which is rarely open once, is having a serious meeting.

There were a total of 128 people at the scene, and everyone was dressed in black robes.

They are engaged in a variety of professions in society, including teachers who teach and educate people, bosses who run their own companies, first- and second-tier stars in the entertainment industry, and workers in restaurants or cafes... And they are sitting here today because they have a common identity, that is, the black deacon of the Council of the Holy Ones.

These 128 black-clad deacons, who control nearly 70% of the Knights of the Mara Church, are one of the most important forces to resist foreign invasions.

At this moment, they were looking solemnly ahead.

There's a big screen there.

In the middle of the screen, there is an old round table, and 15 people are sitting next to it.

They are the twelve cardinal deacons, the president of the council, Hesse, the vice-president, Gosmap, and...

Old Speaker Dirk!

In fact, only these 15 people have the right to speak in the so-called round table that all deacons must attend, while the other black-clad deacons can only sit in the banquet room.

Of course, they also have the right to vote on the outcome of the meeting in the end – if they need to.

"Teacher, I want to hear your opinion." Hesse said, putting down the folder in his hand.

The Speaker of the Council, who had always been stern, spoke in a tone that was rarely soft at this time, with a hint of obvious respect.

Old Dirk smiled and waved his hand: "This is your Holy Council's own business, I won't interfere." ”

"Old Speaker, we have never treated you as an outsider." Hesse changed his name this time.

It is true that although some of the black-clad deacons of the Holy Council are transferred from old to new every year, but only the black-clad deacons, some of whom may not know Dirk and do not understand why such an important meeting would allow a stranger to attend, but the cardinal deacons do not have this problem at all, because they all follow Dirk all the way.

Dirk was not only their leader, but also their comrade-in-arms, and if he had not personally experienced those years of counter-invasion, he would never have understood the depth of this feeling of being a teacher and a friend, fighting side by side.

For the former president of the council, they all respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Even though Dirk has been out of office for twenty years, and he has never even taken the initiative to contact them again, this respect has never faded.

At this time, Dirk can sit at this ancient round table as an "outsider", which is the best proof of this feeling.

In particular, Old Dirk had come this time with some purpose against the will of the Holy Council.

The current situation in Blue Star is even more unoptimistic than many people imagined.

After the Tingye Church was taken over by Hedlin's Imperial Army, other cats and dogs jumped out - the cats and dogs here did not refer to the Qingdi, but to the aliens who had been hiding in various small cities all year round.

Everyone present understood that the aliens had never been completely wiped out.

It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't.

The tragic battle of order three hundred years ago set back the entire Blue Star civilization by at least two centuries, countless dome-level powerhouses fell as a result, and there were only three countries left.

In this case, the other world is still descending on the Blue Star one after another, and the church is really powerless, and the so-called ruthless policy of "seeing a foreigner and killing one" can only play a deterrent role more often.

It's a simple reason, just after the Blue Star War at that time, the vitality was greatly damaged, whether it was manpower or technology, it was not enough to support the church to check out all the aliens, especially those who looked almost exactly the same as the Blue Star people, and entered the city with the homeless people.

The biggest difference between these aliens and the Blue Star people is the language, but at that time, so many countries were destroyed, and the high-level talents were almost killed and injured, and the church focused on post-disaster reconstruction, and there was no energy or way to verify whether their language belonged to the Blue Star or an alien.

What's even more terrifying is that some aliens even speak the same language as the Blue Star people!

Like the Ember Star, like the Earth, like the mountains, like Heidlin...

If it's a coincidence, it's too much of a coincidence to make the scalp tingle.

Of course, that's not the point, the mysteries of the universe are endless, and no one pays much attention to these things.

The problem for Bluestar now is that these aliens who had infiltrated the city many years ago had become ready to move with the invasion of the Imperial Army, and they seemed to be looking forward to the war.

Some people have even begun to secretly engage in small actions to add fuel to the fire.

Sha'er's intuition is not wrong, and the current Blue Star is really at a critical moment of life and death.

Once the war breaks out, the Church will have to face not only the Imperial Army with the Demon God Mecha, but also the many unknown forces lurking in the territory - these forces may not be strong overall, but they are enough to stir up the rear of the battle line.

Therefore, knowing that Hanashi High School was using this knight competition and awakening potion to recruit soldiers, Hesse also resolutely chose to support it.

It is undoubtedly illegal to recruit soldiers privately, but in comparison, ordinary people need awakening potions more.

Only when all the people are soldiers can the Blue Star people live more stably in this land that is about to be chaotic.

At least in the face of ordinary aliens, they will not be powerless to resist.

However, Hesse did not expect that the news of the war would come so suddenly.

The awakening potion has only been released for less than a month, and the overseas sales channels have not yet been opened, and the Tingye Church has already fallen entirely.

Not only that, but those aliens who have been lurking for a long time and whose ambitions are immortal are also gradually becoming active.

It disrupted all his plans.

Hesse has always been a man with brains and patterns, otherwise Old Dirk would not have chosen him to take over his position.

After learning about the relevant history, Hesse expected that sooner or later the church would have internal and external troubles erupting at the same time, and he had made a lot of preparations for this, and even had mastered the movements of dozens of alien forces, and the next step was to think about how to quietly uproot these restless aliens without causing panic among the masses.

But now there is no chance.

The A-level security some time ago undoubtedly announced that Blue Star had officially entered a sensitive period.

Cities are by far the safest places for citizens.

At this time, if you rashly start a war in the city, the consequences are absolutely unpredictable.

Hesse was really a little overwhelmed.

It's just that Old Dirk still doesn't mean to help.

It doesn't matter if the Council of the Holy Representatives treats him as an outsider or not, the important thing is that he once said that he will never do anything for the Church again in this life.

"Hesse, do you remember what happened to Hoshino Fire?" Old Dirk asked softly, his eyes flashing with memory, his thoughts seemed to drift to twenty years ago, and his voice became a little hoarse: "At that time, I went a step too late, and the child of Hib died in front of my eyes......"
