The power of Middle-earth is actually composed of three major civilizations, the first is naturally the various races and forces on the surface of Middle-earth, which have bred brilliant and colorful civilizations; The second is the Abyssal Hell, located in the lava layer below the surface of Middle-earth, they rely on their unique fire creatures to breed their own unique hellfire civilization; The third is that in the depths below the Abyssal Hell Clan, there is another realm that makes the other two civilizations very uneasy—the Undead Clan.

In fact, the realm of the dead is not as desolate and barbaric as the people of the other two civilizations think, they also have their own civilizations, and even some civilizations are no less developed than the other two civilizations. It's just that the undead of the country of the dead are all formed by the gathering of resentful spirits of death, and life and death are inherently opposed, so this country is strongly rejected by the other two civilizations.

The mutual exclusion and mutual annexation between civilizations is extremely fierce in the first place, not to mention the contest between civilizations and between life and death.

But the civilization created by the realm of the dead is just as wonderful, there are no living beings here, only the undead, they have their own way of life, and they have their own rules of survival that are most suitable for them (sorry, they can't be called the laws of death). What can the two civilizations of Middle-earth look down on them? He is not a fish, the joy of knowing fish? Why does any civilization want to force other civilizations to reproduce according to its own survival laws, or even interfere with other people's civilizations and destroy other people's civilizations? This is * naked hegemonism.

The surface civilization and the abyssal hell civilization of Middle-earth despise the civilization of the undead realm, and the civilization of the undead realm has ever been cold to them? They always believe that death is the true destination, and their civilization is the civilization that Middle-earth should eventually enjoy, and the other two forms of civilization are just transitional civilizations in Middle-earth, and the ultimate civilization in Middle-earth should be the realm of the dead.

For tens of thousands of years, since the emergence of civilization in Middle-earth, the struggle between civilizations has never stopped, and there may have been many prehistoric civilizations, which may not be known, but eventually developed into the current three major forms of civilization, and have never been peaceful, at least every thousand years or so, between civilizations and civilizations, there will always be violent collisions and conflicts, the strength of the surface civilization, the forbearance of the undead country, and the first end of the abyss civilization, left and right, the three major civilizations stand on three legs, and they are bright for a while. No one can help anyone, the strong and the weak are often exchanged, and together they have written the wonderful and splendid history of the entire Middle-earth world!

Who would dare to say that the kingdom of the dead must be evil? Mortal civilization must be just? Different positions, different values, different civilizational orientations, of course, they have different understandings of justice and evil, and they all have their own narrowness, who dares to say that justice must be justice, and evil must be evil? In addition to the position, let's jump out of the game, jump out of the three civilizations, who finally unified the civilization of Middle-earth, it is not the business of outsiders, in the eyes of outsiders, all justice and evil, is completely meaningless. Therefore, the understanding of good and evil will not be the same if the height of the standing is different!

The kingdom of the dead has the pride of the kingdom of the undead, and in their eyes, of course, it also has its own standards for judging justice and evil.

The scene of the country of the undead is also very different from the surface civilization, here is full of white bones, everywhere, this is the foundation of the entire country of the dead, just like the flowers and trees of Middle-earth are so ordinary and ordinary, but it is the most basic and fundamental source of maintaining the entire country, because these white dry bones will produce resentful spirits, and undead creatures need to collect resentful spirits to obtain their own survival materials, so the entire undead country is actually a sea of skeletons.

The buildings here are also diverse, such as markets, town halls, workshops, military camps, castles, etc., but the styles are very different from those of other civilizations. Even more abundant than these are the dwellings of the creatures of the realm of the dead, which is an eye-opener. There are graveyards everywhere, and there are mourning halls everywhere, which are the places where the skeletons and zombies of the lowest undead creatures live; Spirit tombs, ghost mansions, these are the dwellings of ghosts and vampires of mid-level undead creatures; Mausoleums, halls of the dead, this is the residence of high-level undead creatures such as witch corpses and dark knights, and of course, there is also the existence of a special building, that is, the residence of top undead creatures such as dragon mounds, bone dragons or ghost dragons. But these buildings are not common, otherwise, the ghost dragon would not be called the top.

The selection of the decennial Death Knight has begun in the realm of the dead. Death knight is the existence of the commander level of the dark knight, the general undead knight is selected from the dark knight, as the general of the dark knight legion, but maybe it is to show fairness, maybe it is for the supremacy of the current dark knight in the undead empire, so that all the undead creatures can feel the horror and pride of the dark knight, the selection of the undead knight is not limited to signing up for the election in the dark knight, all the undead creatures and even slave skeletons can also sign up, It's just that no undead creature other than a Dark Knight has ever been able to be selected.

The first round of selection is naturally an audition, and the first round of selection is conducted between the cities of the Empire of the Undead. The entire Empire of the Dead has thirty-six large cities, each city will select a hundred contestants after auditions, and go to the capital of the Empire of the Dead, Rabel, for the final competition, and finally determine the ten winners, obtain the title of Death Knight, and become a temple-level existence of the Empire of the Dead, which is equivalent to the status of the Necromancer.

Rabel City is the royal city of the Empire of the Undead, and representatives selected by major cities gather under the dark sky to prepare for the final selection of undead knights. The representatives selected by the major cities are also varied, among which the representatives of the Dark Knights actually account for less than one-third of the seats, which is already more than half of the existing number of Dark Knights in the Undead Empire, and the other more than two-thirds of the places, there are witch corpses, vampires, ghosts, and even a very small number of skeleton monsters and zombies, most of which are sent to fill up the number and support the scene to go through the process, in order to demonstrate the civilized etiquette of fairness, justice and openness in the Undead Empire.

Under the dark canopy, no light can penetrate it, and there are many dangers inside, and the 3,600 contestants participating in the selection need to stay in the dark canopy for a whole day, killing each other inside, no matter what form the last contestant survives, they can qualify for the final ring knockout round, of course, the contestants can exit the dark canopy halfway, representing themselves to give up the supremacy of the title of Death Knight Mark.

It seems that the fittest is the survival of the fittest, but there are very few other undead creatures that can survive the competition with the Dark Knights, not to mention the one-on-one ring competition in the later stage, which seems fair, but this is actually just a feast for the Dark Knights to slaughter.

In fact, the Dark Knights also fought fiercely, and the battle of group behavior forced many Dark Knights who were unwilling to throw their lives into the dark canopy to withdraw from the arena and end their competition journey early. Therefore, this kind of selection is not only a contest of force between life and death, but also a comprehensive embodiment of wisdom, courage, command, and leadership.

A day later, there were nearly 300 people in the final decision, of which there were only 21 people who were not dark knights, the most conspicuous was a skeleton soldier, and the others were witch corpses or vampires, no one knew how this skeleton soldier was forgotten in the dark sky, and he walked out of the dark sky alive and entered the knockout round, all the contestants and all the spectators and judges all regarded this skeleton soldier as a joke to adjust the tense selection competition and talk about it, relieving the atmosphere.

The format of the ring competition is very simple, that is, two people compete against each other, the winner advances, and the loser is eliminated! In order to ensure that the Death Knights selected in each session are the best, and to avoid several of the strongest players meeting in advance, the fight is not random, but the organizers select some seeded players according to the prestige, record and local recommendation of each contestant, and the opponents faced by the seeded players are generally considered to be the weakest players, and some seeded players may even have byes to advance directly.

The first two rounds of knockout rounds will be played at the same time because there are too many people, otherwise it will be too time-consuming to compete and adjudicate one by one, and there will be 30 pairs of players at the same time at the beginning of the first game.

It was a huge arena large enough to accommodate more than 100,000 spectators, and there were thirty competition platforms in the center of the arena, so each platform was not too large to reflect the power of the Dark Knight.

The first thirty games were mostly Dark Knight against other miscellaneous cards, vampires, witch corpses, and a maverick skeleton. These Dark Knights are all seeded players, and they are the Dark Knights who are most likely to win the title of Death Knight this year, and they are playing against the weakest motley army, especially the skeleton soldier, who is directly facing the most popular Horror Knight, the No. 1 seeded player.

The first 30 games, for the audience, there is little to see, there is no suspense, most of the situation will be seen as a warm-up for the seeded players, to spice up the atmosphere for the audience.

"Boom-" A dull but extremely powerful gong sounded, and the game officially began.

The No. 1 seed horror knight looked at the obscene skeleton soldier in front of him who could be smashed with a wave of his hand, and felt extremely funny, and even thought that arranging such an opponent to him was simply an insult to him, so without saying a word, he carried a machete and ordered the war horse under him to rush towards the skeleton soldier, and cut it with a swing of the knife, as if his huge machete could tear this weak guy apart and reduce it to a pile of skeletons as long as his huge machete touched the skeleton soldier slightly.

Seeing the Terror Knight rushing towards him, he saw that he was about to reach him, but the skeleton soldier remained motionless, as if he was completely frightened.

The Terror Knight slashed his sword and slashed expertly into the skeleton's head, but the skeleton suddenly vanished, gone, gone......

Almost no one paid attention to this game without suspense, so almost no one saw the skeleton soldier jump up instantly, the long sword in his right hand pierced the throat of the horror knight, and then with the knight's body as the center of the circle, he turned around and flashed behind the knight, holding the sword body with his left hand, pulling the long sword out from behind the knight, and then landed firmly on the platform behind the horror knight, and the hilt of the long sword at this time had reached the right hand of the skeleton soldier......

In one go, without any superfluous movements, the horror knight didn't know what was happening, he only saw his body slowly blur, black smoke rising, and he knew that he was "dead...... Slowly, his body, including the dark war horse under him, completely turned into a puff of black smoke, a thick black smoke, until the end, along with the frightened face that was still dead and unbelievable, also turned into black smoke and became a part of the dark sky......
