Chapter 1 Thanatos

Ladies! Gentlemen! The match you're looking at now is the 50th race since Team Tanatos was formed. If they win against the Amur Tigers today, they will be the youngest team in the history of the American Warriors Cup Grand Prix. Two months ago, when Team Tanatos was first formed, probably no one would have believed their founding statement. But now, two months later, I don't think anyone can doubt their strength anymore, right? 'Tanatos' is synonymous with the god of death in Greek mythology. With only two months of formation and a total of 49 wins, they truly live up to their team's title of 'Grim Reaper'.

Since the beginning of the one-star team, they have been skipping the level to challenge the high-level team, and they were just promoted to the four-star team the day before yesterday, and today they will start challenging the five-star team again. This thunderous gesture is the first time I've seen it since I've been commentating on underground events, and I'm sure for most of the audience will see it for the first time.

Today's match was the first time Team Thanatos challenged a five-star team, and it was their 50th match. I don't think I need to repeat the importance of the results. As the top 10 'Amur Tigers' of the Russian underground team, will they be able to stop the progress of the 'Tanatos team'? And as the 'Team Thanatos' who have been writing legends, will they be able to continue their glory? ...... Let's wait and see! ”

The emotions of the gamblers in the stands have been inflamed to the extreme by the commentators, who are constantly placing frenzied bets on the terminals next to their seats, constantly shouting the names of the teams they support. Whistles, screams, shouts, and calls mingle to make the whole area look like a chaotic wholesale market, chaotic and smoky.

Located in the northwest of Sokol in the Vologda region of Russia, the "Onega Athletic Center" was taken over by the Russian underground venue ten years ago. As the Grove family's voice in the Russian government has increased in recent years, the influence of the Russian underground arena controlled by their family has also increased, and there has basically been a semi-public trend. Due to the relaxation of the policy, many European professional players who also belong to the "core league" have also joined in, and the high-stakes and high-value prize events have continued, resulting in the continuous improvement of the level of Russian underground events, making the Russian underground events the second largest black market gambling tournament in the world after the American underground events.

Guan Nantian chose this place for Zhou Kai.

In order not to arouse suspicion from others, they chose the name of a team with a strong European mythological atmosphere, "Team Tanatos". And the captain of the team is also a person they are all familiar with, Mo Yuansheng.

Mo Yuansheng used to be a member of the "God Team" established by Guan Nantian in Europe, after Guan Nantian disbanded the "God Team", he has been fighting in the underground arena in Europe, and was later invited by Guan Nantian to Zhou Kai and them as an instructor, this time Guan Nantian re-established the team in order to train Zhou Kai and them, and he became the captain of the "Thanatos Team".

Since Ding Xiaowei and Di Hu still have domestic leagues to participate in, the current fixed Chinese players of the "Tanatos Team" are actually only Mo Yuansheng, Zhou Kai and Wei Chigang. The others are some signed foreign team members and some "freedom fighters" who are the same as Mo Yuansheng before.

The so-called "freedom fighters" are somewhat similar to the mercenaries of the past, these "freedom fighters" do not belong to any one team, and anyone can pay them to hire them to compete. Of course, they are also limited by the level of the underground arena.

As we all know, underground tournaments divide players into ten levels according to the amount of money gambling, which is the so-called level 1 to level 10 players. For example, a one-star team is a first-level and second-level team, a two-star team is a third-level and fourth-level player, and so on.

Like the previous "Shadow Clan" and "Sea Soul Clan" matches, if the high-level players go to the low-level competition, the team needs to pay a fine. There is no restriction on lower-level players participating in high-level competitions. However, this is only for the general team members, and these "general team members" mainly refer to the members of the team to which they belong. "Freedom fighters" who do not have a clan are not included.

In the underground arena, there is a special system for the group of "freedom fighters". The promotion system for the "Freedom Fighters" is very strict, and they do not allow low-level players to participate in high-level competitions across divisions. If the team's boss wishes, he can let the high-level "freedom fighters" participate in low-level tournaments, but the penalty is three times that of the average team member.

The reason for this regulation is mainly because of the identity of these "freedom fighters".

The World WG Sport has a very special rule, which is to restrict people with a service record from participating in regular competitions. In other words, whether it is an active or retired soldier, you cannot become a professional team member. This regulation has only been implemented in the last decade or so, and when it was first implemented, it aroused opposition from many retired servicemen. But the opposition did not last long, and the introduction of a list of priority occupations for alien immigrants made these opposition voices disappear naturally.

Almost all the veterans have become the first preferential people to immigrate to the planet "Noah", and no one can resist the temptation of interstellar immigration for a planet that has been developed and built by humans for decades. What's more, this immigration was actively invited by the Earth Alliance, not only does there be no cost, but the alliance will also be responsible for solving the problem of work and life on the planet "Noah".

Therefore, almost most of the veterans have chosen to emigrate, and in the end, it is a very small number of people who are really left. After that, every year the retired military personnel will be faced with a choice, either the whole family will immigrate to "Planet Noah" for free, and the alliance will solve the problems of life and work; Either you are still living on Earth as before, but if you want to immigrate to "Planet Noah" in the future, you will face high immigration costs, and you will have to solve problems such as work and life in the past.

These two choices are completely heaven and earth, unless it is true that those who cannot leave due to various reasons at home, otherwise, almost all will choose to immigrate to "Noah".

This is also the reason why retired military personnel on the planet are very scarce now. But after all, not all of them chose to emigrate, and some of them remained.

And the "freedom fighters" basically come from these retired soldiers.

For a professional soldier, WG sports can be regarded as a sport back to their profession. In particular, some special types of soldiers, they have begun to contact the "heart training" during their service in the army, although they are not the best in the army, but for the average professional team members, the level they have reached has belonged to the top level of the WG sport. So, even underground competitions have to make certain restrictions on them.

In fact, whether it is restricting veterans from participating in official events, or the original Earth Alliance's vigorous promotion of WG sports around the world, there is a purpose. As for what the purpose is, only the heads of those alliances and the patriarchs of some super families know.

Except for some regular members, the rest of the "Thanatos Team" are all "freedom fighters", and most of these "freedom fighters" are former partners of captain Mo Yuansheng, such as the current vice captain Sandy.

Sandy. Before retiring, Alleyn was a member of an Italian Battleframe Special Service Squadron, and all Warframe Special Service Squadrons like theirs were elite soldiers in the army. Warframes are divided into land warframes and flying warframes, especially the special agents of flying warframes, who are the elite of these elites. Almost none of the soldiers of their special service squadron can stay on Earth after they retire, although the policy is to let the retired soldiers choose their own path, but for them elites, the army always has a way to let him choose according to the will of the army.

As far as Sandy knew, he was the only soldier in their special service squadron who had remained on Earth after retiring for more than a decade. The reason is simple, because he is disabled.

If it was an ordinary disability, the current technology would have been able to take over a long time ago, but Sandy hurt his head. After he was in a coma for half a year, his father made the decision on his behalf to stay on Earth after retiring from the army.

Who would have thought that a year later, Sandy unexpectedly woke up. Moreover, the "Heart Refinement", which had been training in the army without results, actually broke through the third layer, allowing him to have special abilities. So, Sandy started underground WG competitions and became a "freedom fighter".

Today's match was Sandy's first appearance for "Team Tanatos". If it weren't for the fact that the opponent was a five-star team, and the "Thanatos team" was a challenge to skip the class, they would not have been qualified to hire him as a ninth-level player to compete.

Although Sandy represents "Team Tanatos" today, he is not optimistic about this match. Because he knows "Amur Tigers" so well that if the guy he knows is on the court, "Team Tanatos" has a 20% chance of winning the match at best.

"Will he play?" Sandy frowned and thought about it, and felt that it was necessary to give Mo Yuansheng a wake-up call first.
