The imperial capital, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty. This ancient city with a long history has been a capital city with cultural and economic heritage since before the end of the war, and today it is the pearl of Kyushu.

In the coming month, the imperial capital will be a prosperous and lively scene. Just because the final stage of the New Era Cup will be held in the imperial capital.

The New Era Cup can be called a feast of martial arts competitions in the whole continent, which is not only a stage for martial artists to achieve themselves, but also a window for the whole continent to witness the development of martial arts.

As a result, at this time of year, a large number of spectators flock to the host city of the New Era Cup to witness the event.

This year, it is roughly expected that nearly three million people will pour into the imperial capital to witness the final round.

In the face of this grand occasion, the imperial capital will lift the curfew in the final stage, and even open two secret realms to accommodate the sudden influx of spectators.

…… Although Cailai Inn is just an ordinary restaurant in the imperial capital Jiangling District, it has now arrived when the final of the New Era Cup is approaching

"It's hard to find a room" situation. Because it's just an ordinary small restaurant, you can't even invite a singer and dancer in the hall of the Cailai Inn, after all, the singers and dancers are also in demand now.

But even so, the hall of the Cailai Inn is still full of people, and it is a lively scene.

……

"Outside the nickname, the ranking of the preliminary stage of the New Era Cup is the latest to be released!" Although there was no singing and dancing, the diners were just as tasteless as they were drinking on the hottest New Era Cup match recently.

As soon as the number came out, the attention of most of the people in the hall was immediately attracted. It's just that what everyone hears these days is so-called

There are enough "blockbuster news", and the first thing that comes to mind when I hear such a story is now

"Where did the gossip come from, fooling people." No, someone answered as soon as the voice fell.

"It's the latest release again, you and this is the ninth edition I heard today......"

"yes, you won't have me in this version."

"Haha......" Everyone is not annoyed by such ridicule, such a grand event is already very hot, and it is normal for all kinds of true and false news to come out, and it is common to discuss and ridicule each other.

The person who shouted at the beginning seemed to be confident and not in a hurry, and only after everyone finished laughing did he continue: "I don't know if it's true or not, but it's definitely not gossip......

"Because this is the ranking in the first issue of the battle report that has just come out of the Cup......," the man held a stack of papers in his hand and swung it in the air, and then with a pair

The expression of "it doesn't matter" waited for everyone's surprised eyes. Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the people around who were originally ridiculing immediately changed their expressions.

"What! Ring Cup Line? That's an absolutely authoritative battle report......"

"Is it really a ring cup line? Then what is there to doubt, as long as it is the battle report of the Cup Ring Line, it is absolutely true! The people at the bottom exploded again, and they all wanted to see the battle report in this person's hand.

This person didn't dare to hang everyone's appetite at this time, so he opened the battle report in his hand, especially the general

The big words "Huanbei Special Line" are presented in front of everyone. Everyone was confirmed, and the mood became more eager, and even some of the diners who had originally gotten up to leave ordered a few jugs of wine and sat down.

"Tell me, who's on the list?"

"Don't sell it, talk ......about it quickly," everyone couldn't help but urge in unison.

"Okay, okay, I'll read this battle report to you now......"

"The ranking of the preliminary stage of the Cup special line this time is different from the past, and it is divided into the city defense list and the siege list, with 50 people on the city defense list and 10 people on the siege list."

"Wait a minute, it's easy to say that there are ten people on this siege list, just look at the records of the siegers. What do you think of this list of defenders? How are fifty cities divided among fifty people? "The rankings haven't been released yet, but some people are already interjecting to ask questions.

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately joined the discussion.

"Young man, it's the first time I've watched the New Era Cup, right?" At this time, an older middle-aged man stood up and said.

The young man who raised the question did not dare to be arrogant, and humbly asked: "I also ask this senior for guidance, the junior is indeed the first time to participate in the competition, and I don't know much about this ranking." As soon as everyone heard that the young man was also a contestant, they immediately thought highly of this young man.

If it were placed in normal times, young people could indeed be a little arrogant, but now that the imperial capital is mixed, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, even some powerful sect disciples dare not act in a high-profile manner during this period.

The young man was low-key and saluted the crowd around him with his fists. The middle-aged man saw that the young man had a humble attitude and a good sense, so he said patiently: "This is also defending the city, but the gold content in it cannot be compared......

"My Tang Dynasty is located in the middle of the continent, bordering the border desert in the north, the southern region in the south, the large and small vassal states in the east, and the magic alliance across the Stygian Sea in the west. Although the fifty cities selected in the preliminary round of the New Era Cup are all important imperial towns, the environment determines the quality of the warriors, and the strength of these fifty cities is naturally superior to inferior......"

"For example, the northern part is adjacent to the border desert, and the strength of the city is naturally not as strong as that of the eastern city...... "The middle-aged man said that he had completely forgotten that his words had obvious regional characteristics, and it was easy to cause unnecessary quarrels.

Sure enough, before he finished speaking, someone immediately retorted.

"I don't quite agree with Brother Tai's opinion. How can our northern city not be compared to the east, let's just say that Wangducheng, an important defense town over there, has been in close contact with border desert bandits all the year round. Not to mention the border guards, even the common people dare to do it with the bandits, do you dare to say that those rich towns in the east can have such a fierce folk style? ”

"Let's just say, there is also Ah Ke City, which is a city that has once been out of the realm of mortals......" The spectators, who obviously came from the north, shouted against at this time.

Spectators in the eastern towns were equally unhappy when they heard this.

"What can the people be used for? Who doesn't know that the towns in the north are poor, and the warriors have no resources and strength, so naturally they can't be strong......"

"Yes, yes, the north is notoriously poor, where is there more than the rich towns in the east......"

"What's wrong with being poor, we have backbone, unlike a group of soft-footed shrimp in your east......" Seeing that the topic was about to ferment into prejudice between regions, the person with the war report hurriedly appeared to mediate.

"Okay, okay, don't fight, do you want to look at the rankings......"

"Instead of meaningless infighting, let's take a look at the results of our Tang Dynasty's martial artists in the rankings......" As soon as these words came out, everyone gradually quieted down.

"The ranking basis of the city defense list is indeed as the brother Tai said just now. However, there is more information about the ring cup line......"

"I won't sell it, and I will directly announce the ranking to everyone......" In order to prevent everyone from interjecting again, this person fortunately turned around and came to an empty wall in the hall, and there was prepared pen and ink on the table next to him.

This was prepared by the innkeeper in advance, and the walls were specially set aside for everyone to write about the contest, which was also a great way to attract guests.

After a while, two leaderboards appeared on the wall from top to bottom. Everyone looked at the handwriting on the wall, and they didn't have time to marvel at the skill of this humanistic pen, so they were attracted by the content on the wall.

"On the list of defending the city, Lu Tiancheng ranked 50th; 49th Cao Baojun; The forty-eighth ...... "Take fifty on the list of defending the city, and most of the people in the back are the defenders of the marginal towns, so some of the people in the imperial capital don't know each other."

Until the top 20, everyone gradually began to talk about it. By the time we reached 10th place, everyone was already excited.

"Tenth place, Lu Xiaoran!"

"This person is the sixth son of Luliang Commercial Bank......" As soon as these words came out, many sour people suddenly appeared at the scene.

"No wonder, Luliang Commercial Bank is a rich country, this tenth place is probably smashed with money...... but soon someone refuted him.

"Then you are wrong, Lu Gongzi guards Jianghe City, an important town in the south, which is a transportation hub leading from the south to the middle of the dynasty. It is said that he accepted no less than 30 challenges in the half month he defended the city...... "Someone justified Lu Xiaoran's name, and everyone immediately changed their opinions about this rich kid."

"Lu Gongzi is a Qingivy League student in our Southern Regions......"

"But he is also a ...... who went out from our Liang country", "In such a competition, being able to stand out represents not only personal glory, but also the pride of a region."

Therefore, as it is now, it is fighting

"Claiming" players is not uncommon during this time. The only way to stop this pointless quarrel is to move on to the next topic as soon as possible.

"Ninth, Li Yumin."

"This is a disciple from the Ancient Sect of the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial Sword Sect......"

"Eighth place, Wu Cheng." ……

"Sixth place, Feng Tianxiao."

"It's the ...... of the Ivy League students in the Southern Regions again......

"Fourth place, Zhang Linfeng."

"This is the new star of the Imperial Capital Mansion in these years......"

"Third place, Tang Yuyan."

"The people of the royal family appeared ......"

"But don't forget that she competed as a ...... in the Ivy League," she says......

"No accident, the first place is the disciple Wu Qing at the bottom of the imperial capital mansion pressing the box......"

"It is said that he is guarding the town of Hudu, and no one dares to enter the city to challenge!" The town of Hudu they are talking about is a small town outside the imperial capital, which is regarded as the outpost of the imperial capital.

"That's inevitable, the Imperial Capital Mansion will train Wuqing as the next mansion master...... Although Wuqing didn't make a move in the preliminary stage, it didn't affect everyone's unanimous recognition of his strength.

Everyone shifted their eyes from the defense list to the siege list, which had only ten places on the side.

"This year's siege list should also have a high gold content......

"That's natural, the quality of the siege list is so high, and the siege list is naturally not much worse......"

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and look at the siege list."

"Tenth, Sean."

"Southern Regions, Qingivy League students."

"Ninth, Ninbo."

"Another Ivy League student?"

"This time, there are a lot of Ivy League students on the list......"

"Well, you didn't go to see the Shenwu Cup the year before last, I went to watch the game, and the quality of Qingteng students in recent years is really high......"

"It seems that this year's green ivy should not be underestimated."

"I heard that this Ning Bo is the leader of this year's students, and he only won the ninth place, so it doesn't seem to be good......"

"It's lonely and unheard, Ning Bo only won the second place in the Shenwu Cup."

"Oh? Is there anyone more powerful than Nimbo? Who is it? ”

"I heard that it was a guy named Changsun, but he suddenly disappeared for no reason a few months ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown......"

"What's the point of mentioning people who have already died......"

"yes, let's look at the list." ……

"Look at the genius leader of my Imperial Forest Army, it's on the list......"

"There is also the demon leader of the Southern Regions Crusader Special Operations Group, whose strength is really strong......"

"Yan Gexing is also on the list, so I know that her silence over the years is just to wait for the outbreak of this dynasty......"

"Hey, who's this fifth-place nameless talisman?"

"I haven't heard of it either...... when everyone sees the fifth place position

When the name of the "Nameless Talisman Master" was raised, questions were raised, but no one could tell the details of this person.

The person who wrote the list before saw that everyone was at a loss, so he slowly appeared.

"The identity of this nameless talisman master is still a mystery...... as soon as the list writer said this, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Let's just say that this nameless talisman master is really mysterious, it took a lot of effort to find out his true identity, only that he came from the south a month ago, and the route he chose to challenge was also extremely arrogant......"

"Oh?" Everyone immediately became interested, and grabbed a lot of unusual news from this statement.

First, this is a person whose identity cannot be investigated by the ring cup line, and it can basically be said that this person was born out of thin air.

Second, it only took him a month to rush to the fifth place on the siege list, which can be called a demon.

The writer picked up the pen again and dotted two dots on the wall, and then a straight line connected the two dots.

Everyone was puzzled, and the person who wrote the list had a slight rise and fall in his chest, indicating that he was a little emotional at the moment.

"This is the siege route he chose, pointing directly at the imperial capital, no matter who the opponent is!" Everyone savored it for a moment, instantly understood what he meant, and then gasped.

He meant to ...... This nameless talisman master only has the imperial capital in his eyes, and he doesn't care who the opponent on the route is?! ”

"It's so arrogant, isn't this underestimating the heroes of the world!"

"But people have the strength, and there has been no defeat so far!"

"Such a strong ......"

"This ...... Who the hell is he? ”
