Chapter 568: Heading to the Sunset
Soon the day will come to set off for the location of the tournament. The annual competition between the Starlight Empire and the Rizhao Empire is in a city called Starsun City in front of the Starsun Mountain Range. Speaking of which, Star Sun City was just a small town a long time ago, with a population of less than 10,000 people, but since the tradition of jousting tournaments was confirmed, it has become prosperous. As the day of the game approaches, hundreds of thousands of people will gather here to watch the game, and because of this, Xingri Town has developed into the current Xingri City.
The city is like the Star-Sun Mountains, located at the junction of the Starlight Empire and the Sunshine Empire, and the way it is managed is also very special. The affairs of Star Sun City are jointly managed by the two empires, and although this management method sounds very fair, it is also because of this fairness that there will be many problems in the management of ordinary affairs.
Jolman and Wang Cheng Sixiu and the five of them set off for Starsun City together, and the five of them could reach Starsun City in two days at the speed of a horse-drawn carriage. Jolman's face was heavy along the way, and the other three Wang Cheng Sixiu also seemed to be under a lot of pressure, and the atmosphere in the carriage was very solemn for a while, although Shirley's expression had always been this kind of ice and snow expression, Li Yunyang didn't seem so nervous because he had made some preparations.
Before leaving, Li Yunyang had already arranged the cultivation task of the two Leo brothers and sisters for half a month, and after explaining the affairs of the Marquis Mansion, he also got into the carriage. Just after Li Yunyang got into the carriage, he suddenly felt a familiar breath and slowly followed the carriage, who the owner of this breath was, Li Yunyang naturally knew very well, but he didn't stop it.
Halfway through the car, the four of them began to discuss who they were fighting against. Because this competition adopts such a selection system: first, a simple game feels a priority, and the person who wins in the small game can let the opponent feel which opponent to send in this game, and then decide who will face it on his side, and the other side will decide who to send to face it in the second game, whether it wins or loses, that is, each side has two chances to face each other in the four games.
This rule sounds simple, but it's actually a lot of work. How to grasp the opportunity to choose your own opponent to choose an opponent that gives your side a higher chance of winning, and then avoid being targeted when the opponent has the right to choose. So theoretically, it's best to send players who are stronger and harder to target when you send people first.
Peter analyzed with everyone: "First of all, Mingyue, Mingyue's strength should be the strongest among the four of them except for Will, and my advice is to try to let Mancaf deal with him, because Shirley and I don't have a good way to deal with him at this speed." Peter paused, then said, "Then there is Agas, Agas originally wanted Alan to deal with it, but now Eren must be in charge of Will, so I want Shirley to compete with Agas, because Agas is more restrained and my spirit sword is easily damaged by him." ”
"And I'm in charge of Sarah, and I've dealt with Sarah before and won, so I'm still more confident. Do you think that's the way it goes?" said Peter, looking very solemn. Mancaf nodded: "This arrangement should be the most beneficial arrangement for our side." Shirley didn't speak, acquiescing. And Li Yunyang sensed something wrong at this time, and said: "Although this is the case, this plan is not 100% executable, isn't it? If the choice is on the other side, the other party chooses another person to deal with our members, then our plan will be messed up." ”
Peter nodded in agreement: "That's true, so this arrangement is just an idealized state, we can only try to achieve this arrangement, and as for the variables, we can only stick to it." Li Yunyang could only nod helplessly, indeed, such a game is so fair that it is very difficult to formulate any tactics.
The next day, the group arrived at Star Sun City. As soon as I got off the carriage, I was stunned by the extraordinary bustle of the city for the first time. The streets here are as wide as the streets of Wangcheng, but at this time, the streets of Xingri City are bustling with people, after all, it is time for the game, and the city has already been filled with spectators. All kinds of vendors can be seen everywhere on the street, and the business is naturally even more lively. This time of year makes the people here make a fortune.
Star Sun City is also known as Martial City, a casino city. Both titles are associated with the annual tournament between the Starlight Empire and the Rizhao Empire. At this time, the wealthy banks and consortia of the two empires returned here to gamble. The number of participants is countless, so every year the victory or defeat of the competition will cause many people to profit, especially this year's competition is held after two years of victory in the Rizhao Empire, and everyone's enthusiasm is extremely high.
But if you are not in the know, you will definitely not know that the security of Star Sun City is even better than that of the two royal cities, and the reason for this is that there is an independent adjudication council stationed here, the Silver Dragon Regiment. The Silver Dragons are not affiliated with any one empire, they are an independent organization, and they also adjudicate the annual tournaments. And the members of the Silver Dragon Regiment are also composed of gifted people from the two empires and many small countries. They don't practice any swordsmanship or magic, because their members are what people call freaks, the Psychics.
The powerful aura of the Star Continent is naturally very beneficial to cultivation, but this powerful aura has also created a lot of anomalies, especially those who live in the deep mountains or close to the gathering place of demonic beasts, and it is especially easy to give birth to babies with supernatural abilities. When these children grow up, they will not be able to cultivate any fighting energy and magic, because the circuits formed by their bodies are completely different from those of normal people, and the only power that can be used to defend themselves is this innate ability.
Since its establishment, the Silver Dragon Regiment has been looking for these children who have been spurned by the world, and raising them as adults, educating them how to control their own abilities, these people often have terrifying powers, but they will never participate in any war, only in this Star Sun City, if someone makes trouble, they will use the terrifying power to drive the troublemakers out.
Even in its heyday, the members of the Silver Dragon Regiment did not exceed a hundred, but even with such a number, no country or organization dared to provoke them. Because a long time ago, the emperor of the Rizhao Empire once wanted the Silver Dragon Regiment to join his empire, but was rejected by the head of the Silver Dragon Regiment, and the emperor became angry and asked a royal magician and a Sword Sect to join forces with tens of thousands of troops to attack Star Sun City.
But the unthinkable happened. The Silver Dragon Regiment dispatched all the members of the group, and in one night, all the attackers were wiped out, and the leading magicians and Sword Sect-level masters were killed, their heads cut off, and they were sent back to the Rizhao Empire. Since then, no force has dared to fight the idea of the Silver Dragon Regiment. It is said that the leader of the current Silver Dragon Regiment has a strength that even a strong person at the level of a sword god cannot shake.
After Li Yunyang and his group arrived in Star Sun City, the Silver Dragon Regiment had already sent people out to greet them and arrange accommodation for them. The envoy of the Silver Dragon Regiment who came out to greet them was now one of the two deputy heads of the Silver Dragon Regiment, Yue. Yue took them to a castle close to the tournament for the members of the two countries to rest, and left. Li Yunyang wanted to ask Peter about the identity of this person, but Peter only knew her name and official position, and he didn't know anything else.
There are two days left until the competition. The four of them went back to their rooms to do their own thing. Jorman, on the other hand, went to the main fort to meet the head of the Silver Dragon Regiment and the diplomatic envoy of the Rizhao Empire. Li Yunyang, as a playful and active person, naturally couldn't be willing to stay in the room all night, so he wanted to beckon the other three to go to the city to play together. Peter and Mancaf were also bold people, so they naturally agreed, but Shirley said that she had something to do and didn't come out with it.
Li Yunyang is still looking for local bars as always, and it seems that going to bars has become a habit that he can't change anywhere. Because Peter had been here several times and knew the things in the city, he took Li Yunyang to the largest bar in Star Sun City. Every time Li Yunyang walked into the bar, it was like returning to the Pierka collar, and he felt very comfortable. After the three men drank a few glasses of wine, they also talked more, so wine is definitely an artifact for making friends between men.
Just when Li Yunyang was drinking happily, a familiar breath broke into his perception range. He still couldn't help sighing, he thought that she would go back after a distance, but he didn't expect her to really follow to Star Sun City. Li Yunyang said to Peter and Mancaf: "I have some personal matters to deal with, and I will come back as soon as I leave for a while." The two of them didn't say anything, after all, they were the best among the youths, could it be that someone followed them from Wang Cheng to Star Sun City, and they wouldn't have noticed it?
Li Yunyang walked out of the bar, turned around sharply in a dark corner, pulled out the figure hiding in the shadows, and took off the hood on his body, who was not Niya. This little girl has been following her since she left her master, but she didn't expect to really follow her to Star Sun City this time.
Li Yunyang looked at Niya with a look of loss and embarrassment that was recognized, and he didn't know what to say about her, so he whispered to her: "Didn't I tell you not to follow me when I was at home?
Niya broke free of Li Yunyang's hand and puffed her cheeks and said, "Hmph, I don't need your protection, I'm just going out to hang out by myself, what's your business." Li Yunyang has always had nothing to do with this girl, so he had to say: "Yes, yes, I don't want to protect you, but these days you can only follow me, you can't run around." As soon as Niya got Li Yunyang's permission, she was happy, running around the street, looking here and there, but fortunately, as long as Li Yunyang's eyes were not good-looking, she would obediently come back and follow Li Yunyang.
