"Good viewers, welcome to the final of the 8th League Cup competition "Rise of Empires" in 2132, which is also the last event in the virtual game of this League Cup. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoWe have been able to see the venue for the finals, huh...... It appears to be a hilly terrain. ”

"Because since the beginning of the playoffs, all the maps have been randomly generated, and both the contestants and the commentators will only see the terrain at the beginning of the game."

"Yes, Coach Zhang, this is also one of the results of the league's continuous improvement of the rules of the game over the years."

"We have been working hard to improve the fairness of the rules of the major competitions in the past few years, and I believe that the future competitions will definitely be ......."

"Oh, Kruhid's team has appeared!"

In the picture of the national live broadcast, several figures gradually climbed to the top of a small hill, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretched their shadows very long, and gusts of mountain wind shook their clothes, making the sound of hunting.

"There were tsunami-like shouts from the audience, they are all supporters of the Broken Sky Blade, and if they can win this final, they will become a myth since the league pioneered the virtual game competition!"

"Yes, if the Sky Breaker team wins, they will be the first team in the history of the league to win all the games, and the Sky Breaker will remain in the top spot for three consecutive years......

At the top of the hill in the picture, five figures sit on the ground, their expressions all looking relaxed, they look at a dirt road that winds at the foot of the mountain, and they talk to each other, led by a man with a big sword in both hands, clapping his hands from time to time, presiding over the discussion.

"They stopped at the top of the mountain, and they didn't seem to be looking for their opponents, and it seemed that they were planning to start a fight here."

"The view of this hillside is still good, they are staying here, they can find the opponent at the first time, and it is difficult for Lanshan's team to sneak attack them, although I think with Han Sanshi's style, it is impossible to formulate such a tactic as a sneak attack......"

"Their expressions were very relaxed - a lot of people thought that the semi-final against Krusheed was already an early final, and they were very calm at the time, so now they have more reason to take it ...... calmly."

"But I'm sure Han Sam-seok won't give up easily, and hopefully they can give us a good final."

The people on the low hillside didn't have much movement. Judging from the live broadcast screen, several people seem to be discussing something with each other. The audience can only see the screen and the sound of commentary, and cannot hear the direct dialogue of the players in the game, which is also set to maintain the fairness of the game.

“...... Looks like we'll need to wait with Kruhid for a while. Director Zhang, about the origin of the name of Duan Tianfeng's team, I don't know if you know some insiders? ”

"This one...... I didn't ask him that question myself, but we know that he gives his team a different name every time. I'll make my own guess, the origin of these names seems to be related to the background of each game......"

"Like the 'Steel Frontline' in "Endless War", the 'Martial God' in "Jianghu", and the 'Sword of Kings' in "Firestone", of course, these names are thunderous now, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that they do have some relationship. Well, Director Zhang has studied these people very deeply......"

"Just guessing, guessing, hahaha...... Maybe it's just his spontaneousness, and there's no pattern......"

"Oh! The director helped us switch to the picture of the people in Arashiyama! Looks like they're about to meet! ”

In a bird's-eye view, a group of five people emerges from the woods at the bottom of the hillside, and then looks up in unison to meet the people on the hill.

The cacophony of discussion gradually subsided in the crowd of spectators. Everyone was quietly looking at the two teams of people in the final battle, and they were also quietly looking at each other.

The cold wind howls and time passes. I don't know how long later, in the team below, a burly strong man in the lead finally took off a large black square metal shield from his back, and then took out another small large shield from it.

He held the shield in both hands, stepped forward in two steps, and then collided with each other twice with the shield, making a "clang" sound. The sound echoed through the mountains, accompanied by the sound of whimpering winds, as if to foreshadow the fierceness of the battle that followed.

But the people on the hill don't think so. In the picture, the leading big sword man waved his hand, then turned around and laughed, and several people slowly got up and walked down the mountain together.

The team on Arashiyama's side invariably walked to the other side, vacating a flat area on the dirt road in front of them, and at the same time, several people scattered back and forth, forming a battle formation.

"The people of Arashiyama are Arashiyama, and they very simply agreed to this place as a battlefield, and this tiled formation...... It looks like this game is coming to an end soon. ”

"Maybe. However, it can't be said that they don't have the possibility of hiding a hand, if there is any killer weapon that Han Sanshi has not used in the previous game, now is the best time......"

"Oh? Director Zhang seems to know some insiders, I remember that you are very familiar with Han Sanshi, didn't you ...... before?"

"No, no, no, even though he's very wooden, he won't tell me anything like that."

"Oh! We saw that the murmuring had stopped, and she stopped on the mountainside, her hands pressed to the ground......"

"I guess that's the trick."

"It should be. When they faced Jianghu in the semifinals before, they used this trick to interrupt the wind and thunder, and they were caught off guard. However, this move has now been exposed, and it is impossible for Han Sanshi not to guard against it......"

"The people of Arashiyama have moved!"

Behind the man with the shield in both hands, a man in black robes was walking to the side, pulling out something that resembled a scroll from his bosom as he went. At the same time, the people walking down the hillside continued to move forward, and on the mountainside behind them, the light of magic suddenly lit up. The black streamer shines in a circular circle, and then takes the center of the circle as the center, and gradually condenses into several thin strips of different lengths, which are of different lengths, scattered, and converged, forming the appearance of a dial.

Black magic light is the representative color of time magic.

"Alright, the 'Time Acceleration' has taken shape, and the members of Kruhid will get a huge speed buff." The narrator said.

The cheers of the audience rang out.

The hands on the dial began to spin, then faster and faster, and finally merged with the entire circle into a cloud of hazy black light, which soaked into the five people nearby. From a distance, it looked like they were shrouded in a dark shadow.

Then, the five black shadows were like substances, elongated in people's vision, extending forward.

A black light behind him suddenly stopped, revealing a delicate figure wrapped in black light. She waved her hands and continued to gallop forward. But in the sky behind her, huge fiery clouds were tumbling, and several flaming meteorites tore through the sky with billowing smoke, drawing a long diagonal line and smashing into the front of the group.

Meteor shower.

"Even the chant of the spell has been shortened to a ...... Yes! ”

In the ears of the audience, the narrator shouted excitedly: "Anti-magic realm! Sure enough, they left a killer feature! ”

The black-robed mage who walked to the middle of the formation tore the scroll in his hand open, and then pressed it to the ground with his backhand. A purple-black light erupted between his hands, expanding, and gradually turning into a huge black shield, enveloping a radius of a hundred meters.

The fiery red meteor smashed against the purple-black shield with a thud and then vanished into thin air, like a pebble entering the water, and nothing happened except for a ripple. Several black streamers also faded rapidly after entering the range of purple-black light. In the smoke cleared, the figures of people gradually appeared—apparently after being filtered by the purple-black realm, their speed also dropped back to the level of "people".

"The Anti-Magic Realm is a large spell with a very high spell level, and no player has been able to learn this skill at this stage, let alone make it into a scroll. I don't know where they got this rare scroll in Arashiyama......"

"But in this way, Zhao Liuan is also equivalent to a wasted person, this is a lose-lose tactic."

"In terms of magical abilities, Whisper Liuyu is definitely stronger than him, so this deal is not a loss for them."

"With Zhao Liuan's proud character, I want him to accept such a tactical ......"

As the two men continued to explain, the black-robed figure slowly stepped back, replaced by two shield guards with swords. They did not hold a shield in both hands, as their captain did, but rather a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.

On the opposite side of them, the five figures did not stop because of the disappearance of the buff, and although their speed dropped to an ordinary level, everyone's pace was not disrupted.

The double-shielded man at the head sneered, and then waved his shield violently. Behind their triangular formation, another figure in a black burqa reached out and pulled the burqa off, revealing the full body armor underneath.

"Han Sanshi really cheated! They don't bring a therapy profession at all! This way the negative impact of the anti-magic realm on them will be minimized! ”

"They put on the ...... of Annihilation in All Directions," muttered the man known as Director Zhang, "Was it all tactically planned......

"It's going to turn into the most brutal hand-to-hand combat! The winner may be decided in a very short time! ”

The auditorium was boiling again. The man in silver armor roared and rounded the hammer in his hand and slammed it down at the two-handed sword player who was rushing forward.

"Holy Light Judgment! The ten directions are annihilated, and the front has just been on the blade of the broken sky! Is this also Arashiyama's arrangement......"

"The silver light on his body...... This is the fifth-level blessing technique......"

"They swapped tricks! All ten sides were wiped out, and only 8% of their HP was lost. It seems that in the competition of strength, the defeat of all sides does not have the upper hand, and he wears heavy armor, so he has an advantage in defense......"

"Tai Dongyue and Fuhua I used their shield barriers at the same time to block Jian Beidong to the side. Oh, the cloud barrier has crossed the front! Han Sanshi's goal is the back row! ”

"It seems that this is their tactical ......"

In the boiling sound of the scene, the battlefield was shaken to dust by the fighting spirit in the sky, and the loess was all over the sky. The two commentators spoke quickly, but they still wished they had a few mouths to be able to explain the whole situation clearly. But these small flaws have lost their due meaning in the hearts of the audience who are already completely excited. They shouted, roared, danced and roared for the people they supported.

"Han Sanshi is already close! Although Mu Xiaoyan has some melee ability, the gap between him and the shield warrior is too great, and now he has lost the strongest reliance on the Holy Word and Blessing......"

"Charge! Shield Slam! Another shield slam! ”

"Mu Xiaoyan didn't dodge the second blow, his professional experience is still too little after all......"

"The whispers rushed up! What is she going to do, she has no combat power now, does she want to attract firepower......"

"Ahh It's a code word! The Cangyun Barrier was stunned, but at the same time he unleashed a seismic slam, and his reaction was quick ......"

In the shock of the double-shield warrior's stamping on the ground, a black shadow appeared behind him, and the black tight-fitting leather armor outlined the graceful figure, and at the same time, the beautiful face was set off with a fair complexion. But at this time, the expression of this beautiful woman revealed a ruthless coldness.

"Cipher's grasp of the situation is really top-notch, and her timely appearance saved Cruzid's two legal professions."

But she has now been exposed from stealth and has lost her biggest hole card as an assassin. And the opponent is Han Sanshi, she can't get any benefits......"

"Yes, the other party is a double-shield warrior, and he is wearing plate armor ......"

"The dragon roars! The code words were shaken away, hey, what is Han Lei doing, now is a great opportunity to deal with the assassins......"

"He used the wrath of the earth! The area of this earthen wall is very wide, and it seems that he may have used his faction skill, the power of the dragon, before......"

A loud earth-shaking sound echoed across the battlefield, and through the shimmering waves of the shield, everyone could still see a tall earthen wall rising on one side of the dirt road. The semi-circular earthen wall divides the chaotic battlefield, and the crowd of people fighting on the field is also divided into two parts. In the falling mud, the towering earthen wall stood on the side of the road, and even in the live broadcast screen, you could not see what was happening on the other side of the earthen wall. The bird's-eye view of the live broadcast began to move forward, lifted, and gradually became a 90-degree top-down perspective.

"The code words can't come over, it seems that Han Sanshi is determined to kill these two people first, after all, the duration of the anti-magic realm is limited......"

"Now it seems...... The choice made before the code word is debatable. She insisted on saving these two legal professions, and she may have fallen into the hands of Han Sanshi......"

"Yes, if she chooses to help the Broken Sky Blade or Sword Beidong, the situation on the field may be different. Now that the Cloud Barrier is still blessed with the power of the dragon, the priest and mage are in a precarious situation...... Oh, what a beautiful tumbling, with a daughter like Lou Yuqing, she can actually roll so beautifully......"

"Look, the code word rushed to the ten directions! Is this giving up on those two people......"

"The power of Furstad! She's going to fight hard, too! Kruhid will be hoping to bring the disadvantage back to the ...... elsewhere"

"No, it's a phantom, she's blocking the Templars! The Blade of the Broken Sky rushed over......"

The man with a two-handed sword strode to the bottom of the earthen wall. He raised his sword above his head with both hands, then held his breath.

A sword is slashed out.

A fine slash appeared in the middle of the earthen wall, and then gradually spread at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the next moment, the seemingly impregnable wall shattered like a piece of glass. As the dust rose from the sky, the battlefield in the southeast became chaotic.

Two figures suddenly flew out of the dust.

"The Sky Breaker threw two of his teammates out!"

"In such a fierce battle, he can still make so many explosive moves, it seems that his 'Yi Sword' is indeed very powerful......

"He's just up to the cloud barrier!"

A huge metal crash sounded, and the gorgeous two-handed greatsword and the ancient shield engraved with intricate patterns finally met.

"A duel of swords and shields! It reminds me of the coat of arms of the Vorstad Empire in "Rise of Empires......"

"The Blade of Heaven has retreated, after all, his opponent still has a shield to attack."

"No, he changed the scene, he took the opportunity to attack and destroy in all directions!"

"The code over there...... It was indeed dangerous, and although he lost some health, he was at least a Templar, and he was ...... as an Assassin on the surface."

"It's ...... Flurry! Oh my God, he's swinging with his two-handed sword......"

The man on the picture has a calm expression and a focused look, but he wields the big sword in his hand vigorously, as if his hand is not a heavy big sword, but a feather. The vivid picture completely ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, and no other sound could be heard outside the venue except for their frantic shouts.

"It's impossible to take all the attacks if you are wiped out in all directions! He's activated Divine Protection, but his health is still going to bottom......"

"This is what happens without healing, although in the anti-magic circle, bringing healing will not help......"

"Glory to the Light! The 20% increase in HP is his last-ditch ......"

"Han Sanshi has caught up! Shield Charge! ”

"This is a crisis that will be extinguished on all sides for the time being...... What the? ”

The screeching sound of metal crashing sounded abruptly through the valley.

The two-handed greatsword was held in the man's hand with one hand, and in the other hand he held a shield that had been conjured out of nowhere, blocking the impact of the double-shield warrior.

Then, with his shield-holding left arm, he raised it and smashed it down with all his might.

"Oh my God...... It's a shield slam! ”

"The power of the god of war! Swept! He's playing with a two-handed greatsword with one hand, and I see everything......"

"The Cangyun Barrier has been forced back, the duration of the dragon's power has passed, and he has no advantage at all......"

"It's a shield rush! Han Sanshi was sent flying......"

"The situation in Arashiyama is dangerous!"

Amid the jubilation of the scene, the man who made a temporary cameo appearance as the shield guard tightened his face and strode towards the retreating double-shield warrior. A familiar roar rang out from behind, and the man looked back to see the Templars struggling to rush up from behind, trying to form a circle with his captain.

Then, a vertigo sign appeared above his head.

"Sneak attack! Ten sides still let down his guard, and he gave the code a chance. Players of this level of code language have seized this only one chance to do so! ”

"The Broken Sky Blade turns back, whirlwind slash! This is a shield-wielding whirlwind slash, which should have a blunt hit attribute in the damage judgment, and it has a miraculous effect on heavy armor......"

"All sides have perished! The first dead man in the final appeared, and victory beckoned to Kruhid! ”

"The code words rushed to the Vanity I, they wanted to turn their advantage into victory......"

The tight leather armor turned into an afterimage, and rushed towards another battlefield. The man with the two-handed sword did not move, as if he was waiting for something.

He knew that the man who was as solid as a rock would not give up easily.

In the picture, the Twin Shield Warriors finally stood in front of him again. The strong man wiped the dust on his head and said something, and in the live broadcast screen, the Broken Sky Blade also responded with two sentences, and then put on a fighting posture.

The Twin Shield Warrior shook his head.

"Tai Dongyue and Vanity I have already declined, and the addition of code words is enough to change the balance of the situation."

"Jian Beidong has been able to support under the attacks of the two for so long, he is already worthy of his title of 'Sky Breaking Sword', we all know that he is good at attacking rather than defending, and he can support the attacks of the two for so long......"

"Lanshan's tactics have been executed very smoothly, they are almost almost successful, if Mu Xiaoyan and Whisper Liuyu are killed at that time, then they can shrink their defense with a bunch of heavy armor, wait for the anti-magic field to be withdrawn, and then win with Zhao Liu'an's magic support......"

"Yes, with the combination of their two shield guards, a double shield warrior, it can support for a long time. Oh, we see the battle on the other side, the results have already been divided. ”

"How did Duan Tianfeng do it, he didn't use a similar method to break the rules of the system in the previous game. If in the game "Rise of Empires", it is possible to wield a two-handed sword, then in other virtual worlds of the same type...... It seems that in the future, the melee system in virtual real games will be turned upside down. ”

"In fact, in this fight, he has already demonstrated one of the changes."

"The realm of anti-magic is gone! Will the whisper be the last straw that crushes Arashiyama......"

"She's casting a spell, what must Zhao Lu'an do......"

"Oh, we see ......" The narrator's voice suddenly rose, and the scene resounded like a mountain and a sea at the same time, "The members of Arashiyama have admitted defeat!" Congratulations...... Team Kruhid! They won this final! ”

"A new history is born! Duan Tianfeng won the championship of all competitions in the 2132 League Cup Virtual Game Competition! This is an unprecedented moment, this is a team without a doubt...... The Master of Kings! ”

The screen cuts to the player's room. Several people walked out of the game cabin one after another, they shouted, danced, and hugged each other, and even the two women who looked cold as frost did not suppress their emotions at this moment.

They pushed each other and walked out of a certain door, only to be overwhelmed by the tsunami outside the door.

"The players from both sides of the game have come out and they are hugging each other. I'm sure the fans of Arashiyama won't be discouraged either, as their team did a great job in today's match as well! ”

"As a young player who wrote such a miraculous history at the age of 23, Duan Tianfeng is worthy of the title of 'Peak of the Sky', he used his strength to lead his team members to defeat all the strong enemies in front of them in many games such as "Jianghu", "Endless War", "Fighting Spear God", and stood at the peak of the peak. They have no guilds, no power, and now they dominate the alliance! This moment belongs to them! ”

"Oh, Han Lei and Duan Tianfeng are shaking hands with each other."

"It's also a moment to remember. We can see the persistence and hard work in this veteran who has been galloping in the professional world for six years, although he did not win the game in the end, I believe that he has done his best, and Arashiyama is still glorious despite defeat! ”

"Yes, let's wish him even better results in future competitions."

"Oh, we see...... The one in the camera is Chen Tianfan, and he also shed tears of excitement. It is believed that the moment Duan Tianfeng slammed Han Sanshi with his shield, the soul of the 'Heavenly Shield' possessed his body. ”

"His juniors have achieved such good results, and now he will not have any regrets in his heart."

"The audience has rushed to the stage and lifted Duan Tianfeng up, and they are cheering for their heroes."

"Of course. This is a mythical era that belongs to them, and hopefully ......"

The screen was turned off.

Here is the twenty-third floor of a skyscraper. In a lavish office, a man in a suit and leather shoes lowered his wine glass and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

In the modern 22nd century, the appearance of cities has changed a lot. At night, several rays of light flow back and forth between the skyscraper buildings, which are the sky passages in the middle of the floors, shining in the dark of the night with a bright modern light. The man looked at the modern picture and suddenly raised his arms in a hugging gesture.

"That's what it is...... The feeling of ownership. ”

He let out a sigh of relief, and a smile gradually appeared on his handsome face.

"That's good." He said.

"Chairman." In the living room at the back, a soft voice was heard.

Gorgeous chandeliers hang above the living room, and below are a variety of furniture full of fluid design shapes, giving the whole living room a modern touch of technology. On one side of the door, there is also an oval bar counter with a white marble countertop that reflects a dazzling white light under the dazzling light. On the shelves behind the bar, all kinds of expensive bottles are scattered and filled with all the compartments. There was a small door at the back of the bar, which had been pushed open, and a hot, scantily clad woman walked out of the door with a transparent light plate in her hand.

"The game is over, Chairman."

The woman's voice was soft, and her expression was even more feminine, she shook her long wavy hair, and then blinked, but the handsome man in the suit was unmoved, just looked at her and nodded.

"They won, didn't they?"

"Yes." The woman knew that he was watching the game as well, but she still gave the answer she deserved.

"So...... Go according to the original plan. ”

"Yes."

Seeing that the man in front of her didn't say anything, the woman had no choice but to nod, then turned around and walked back with a swaying figure.

"Hum hum ......" The man let out a low laugh and sat back in his seat and took a sip from his glass.

"Then, it's harvest time."

In the empty living room, only his voice echoed, like the whisper of a demon.

The next day, on the official announcement of the league, a piece of news was released that shook the professional world.

Skybreaker announced its retirement.

********************

"I think I've made my meaning clear."

On the same night, the same gorgeous office. Unlike the previous living room, the décor of this office is very ancient. The wooden furniture and walls are lined with many green branches, some walls are hung with some unknown calligraphy and paintings, and in the corner of one side of the office, there is also a square table with some pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the whole room is filled with the fragrance of paper and ink.

Judging from the voice, it was a woman who spoke at this time, and her long black hair poured down her head like a waterfall, draped behind her, and contrasted with the long white dress on her body, giving people a sharp sense of contrast.

"I insist...... Withdraw from the engagement. The woman's voice was cold, which also made her words mixed with a cold atmosphere.

"You've seen the conditions, I'm sure ......"

"I wouldn't have agreed." Sitting opposite the woman was a middle-aged man, his loose coat draped over his shoulders, as if trying to dispel the cold of the night, but his meticulously combed hair, coupled with his resolute countenance, made it easy to give a serious first impression to everyone who saw him.

"But......" His serious expression suddenly softened, replaced by a pleasant smile, "You are my most precious daughter, how can I not think of you...... And ......"

He tapped a transparent light plate in his hand, and the information on it was gradually disappearing: "After today, there will be no more Young Master of the Duan family...... So ......"

"I agree with your proposal."

Where the middle-aged man couldn't see, the clenched hands of the woman in the white dress suddenly let go. She took a step back, then bowed, her beautiful long black hair slanting down, obscuring her countenance.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Father. So ......"

The man waved his hand, and the woman turned around, walked out the back door, and then quietly closed the door.

The woman walked out of the door, down the steps, out of the elevator, and out of the building. A hovercar was parked at the door, and as she appeared, two bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses walked out from the side. One of them was holding a trench coat and draped it over the back of the girl in the white dress.

The door opened, and she stepped into the car, the moonlight shining on her white feet, showing a terrifying charm in the dark night. As if thinking of something, she stopped moments before she got into the car.

In the 22nd century, the air quality is obviously worse than the day, but the moonlight tonight is very bright. She looked up at the white disc and suddenly reached out with an equally white hand, trying to hold it in her hand.

"Finally...... Free. She sighed, then weakly lowered her arm and slipped into the car.

The sound of levitation sounded, and the white hovercar started quickly, quickly blending with the nightlife that had just woken up, and disappeared into the night traffic.

On the night of August 25, 2132, a new era began.
