Chapter 34: The Great War
Olin City, the Grand Arena on the top floor.
The military tournament held by the Spartans here attracted a large number of mercenaries to participate.
After all, the bounty for first place is as high as 1000 pounds.
In addition, mercenaries who perform well in the tournament will also be recruited into the Spartan mercenary team and participate in the defense of Olin City.
For mercenaries whose heads are pinned to their belts and are easy to be cheated by their employers when they do a task, a 9-to-5 profession like the city garrison and a fixed payment is simply their dream job.
As a result, more than 20,000 people signed up for the first time.
As the saying goes, there are thousands of people, and there is no boundary, and the arena will definitely not be able to accommodate so many people.
The Olin City Mage Association solved this problem: they found the demigod boss of the Dream School and arranged a large-scale dream realm, the kind that can accommodate tens of thousands of people to fight together.
In the dream world, anyone is free to kill without actually causing harm to others. The consciousness of the slain will only be expelled by the dream, and they will return to their original body unharmed.
"It's an amazing miracle." Standing on the top of the mountain of dreams, the lord of the city, Apperius, exclaimed.
In his field of vision, the land below included rivers and forests, fields and wildernesses, swamps and hills, which arguably covered most of the terrain of the Balkan Peninsula.
A virtual arena for battle competitions that couldn't be better.
"It's modeled after the legendary Heavenly Mountain." The demigod of the Dream School said, "Heavenly Mountain is the eternal paradise of all things in this world, and any biological race can find a suitable environment for themselves to live in Heavenly Mountain. ”
"It's a pity that most of the 25 ancient books that sealed the fragments of Heavenly Mountain have been lost." He sighed regretfully and said.
"Your missing East Asia branch personnel should have been found, right?" Aperius asked.
"Found it." The demigod said, "By searching the subconscious ocean, we can probably locate them at the bottom of the Black Sea. ”
"After the body was recovered, it could probably be seen that the wounds were caused by the long sword and the bullet, but it had been soaked in the sea water for too long to discern more information."
"From the analysis of the only fragments of consciousness, these people should have found the fragments of Heavenly Mountain, but they did not immediately report to headquarters."
"Their selfishness killed them, and when the headquarters found out about the abnormality, these people had been dead for a long time, and it was almost impossible to extract any clues about the murderer from the deceased's consciousness."
Apperius nodded solemnly and did not speak.
At the time of death, the superego sinks into the sea of the collective subconscious, and in a short time it is assimilated, leaving only the deepest memory with obsession.
If it is a high-level spiritual powerhouse, then it may be possible to move in this memory, pretending to be alive.
Listening to the demigod's account, it is obvious that the deepest memory of those dead Eastern Branch personnel is not the incident of "being killed", but the fact of "getting the fragment of Heavenly Mountain".
Therefore, the Dream Heaven Headquarters only knew that they had been killed by the fragments of Heavenly Mountain, but it was completely unable to find out who the murderer was.
This matter is destined to become a headless unsolved case.
"Oh, the game is on." He said, looking at the scattered crowd of people below.
——————
Asker is teleported in.
As a fighter who was selected by the Spartans in advance, he participated in this tournament not to advance, but to snipe the strong.
In this kind of chaotic battle, although it can test the actual level of the participants, it also reduces the fairness of the competition.
For example, the combat power of the "ordinary person" is 5, and the combat power of the "strong" is 50, but unfortunately, when the "strong" is just teleported in, the "strong" encounters the "super strong" with a combat power of 100.
As a result, they were seconded when they met, and this kind of second kill could not see the strength level of the loser, so the "strong" with a combat power of 50 was eliminated first, while those who were lucky and had a combat power of 5 "ordinary people" could survive to the back.
In addition, in order to compete for the top few, the "super strong" will inevitably kill mercilessly, whether the "strong" with a combat strength of 50 or 5 "ordinary people" will be killed, so that most of the "strong" will be eliminated, which goes against the original intention of this game - large-scale selection of excellent fighters.
Asker's role is to kill someone in this battle when the number of kills exceeds 10, and then go over and kill the opponent, so as to prevent any "super power" from forming a crushing advantage in the chaos of the battle, and massacre a large number of "strong men" who might otherwise be selected.
Of course, these people who were killed in advance, whether they were "super strong" or "strong", Asker would score the opponent according to the opponent's response and performance, as well as the time he had survived under his own hands.
As for the unfortunate guy who didn't make it to Asker's hunting list and was killed in advance, there may be a "strong man" who accidentally ran into a "super strong", so there is no way.
The final ranking is also based on a point system, rather than the rule of "whoever survives to the end eats the chicken" that strongly relies on luck.
The contestants unanimously agreed with this rule - otherwise, if any guy drilled into the hole and waited until the end of the chaos to come out to pick up the bargain, wouldn't it be disgusting to everyone?
Asker, with his sword in his hand, had just walked to a hillside when he saw two contestants talking at the bottom of the hillside.
"Listen, it's said that if the number of kills exceeds 10, there will be a special Spartan who will snipe you."
"The sniper time is 1 minute, as long as you can survive this 1 minute, the Spartans will retreat, and then your kill count will be 20 before the next round of sniping."
"Let's raise the kill count to 9 first, then find a suitable place to defend or escape, until we meet the enemy, raise the kill count to 10, and then immediately prepare to concentrate on sniping."
"Huh? I came up with a great idea. Another said, "If your kill count reaches 10 and I don't, then the Spartans will only attack you, not me, according to the rules?" Then I will be able to help you cut down the Spartans. ”
"Spartans don't take the initiative to shoot at people who don't have the right kill value." A voice came from the hill, and when the two contestants looked up, they saw Aske with one hand pressing his sword, looking at them condescendingly.
"But if it's attacked, then of course it's okay to strike." He said.
"Our kill value is still 0!" The two contestants hurriedly raised their hands.
"Of course, I'm just reminding you of the rules." Asker nodded.
The two contestants fled in a panic as if they had been granted amnesty.
Aske looked into the distance, thinking that this set of chaos caused by Olin City was a bit like the arena mode in the previous game.
Just as he was thinking this, a communication sound came from the headset.
"Coordinates X32530, Y21215, target appears."
Oh, and is there anyone with a kill value of 10 so soon?
