Chapter 1266 The day of the main game
The War League is a large-scale event that is held every few years. It is a very influential event both inside and outside Academy City. Although there is no [Integrated Knight] Fighting Competition】that level of popularity, but among people in the industry In the eyes of scholars, it is definitely an event not to be missed
The main purpose is not to fight with real swords and guns like a fighting competition, but to carry out large-scale deductions and confrontations under various random conditions through simulation. In other words, it is an activity specifically for commanders to compete in skills.
At first glance, it may seem unpopular. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, contestants from both sides talk to their own advisers in a small room, and then use a series of complex methods to repeat their ideas. Engraved on the magic sand table, after a long and boring wait, proceed to the next step of deduction based on the intelligence until the end of the battle.
For a commander, the importance of deduction ability is self-evident, especially for those young people who have no chance to fight and cannot achieve results. If they can perform various deductions If you achieve good results in confrontation activities, then there will be various high-quality 'opportunities' lining up to come to your door. After all, for most forces, an excellent commander is very important.
As for the mainstream deduction hardware in the Innocence Realm, they are various types of magic sandboxes. This is a rare luxury item that is not monopolized by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce or the Steam Consortium and is always controlled by the Alchemist Association and the Mage Guild. In view of the The difference between the technology tree and the modern technology outside the game and the engineering inside the game cannot be applied to it. If you want to compare it, this thing is similar to the RTS (Real-Time Strategy: Real-Time Strategy) game in the early 21st century in the real world. Quite similar.
The reason why it is 'similar' rather than 'the same' is naturally because no matter how top-notch the magic sandbox is, it is difficult to truly achieve 'real-time'. Even those who have been implanted with something similar to 'Book Spirit' ', 'Tower Spirit' and other artificial mind magic sandboxes also have quite high delays. Of course, when both sides of the deduction will be affected by the delay, it will not affect fairness too much.
All in all, this thing is not very entertaining, but it is a required course for a qualified commander, at least for indigenous NPCs and most players who want to deploy troops and generals to repel Fang Qiu. class.
There are simply too few commanders like Mo Tan and La Morlock who have barely dabbled in deductions in the early stages of games, but are recognized by others due to various circumstances. It seems cheap to say that they are rare.
Just like the comprehensive knight fighting competition, although the War League has always been hosted by several large military academies in Academy City in turn, the requirements for the participants are actually quite broad, even broader than the former , there are no requirements for strength, age, origin, resume, or race. You can participate as long as you register.
Of course, the registration fee still has to be paid, and two gold coins are not cheap. In addition to the seed players, even current students have to pay.
However, as long as you can pass the audition, the organizer will refund the money, so it is nothing to those who are confident in their own strength.
The audition method for the War League is also quite simple. First, each applicant must conduct a battle with a teacher or student representative sent by the organizer, and then get a more specific score, which will be announced that night. Know whether you have advanced to the next round of auditions.
This step is not difficult. After all, the military academies that can participate in the event are quite powerful. No matter how many people sign up, there will be no problems with manpower and equipment.
Then, those who advance to the next round will continue to repeat the deduction with the official staff and get points again. As before, if they get the top results, they will be able to advance to the third round of auditions.
When the number of auditions is reduced to 256 people, the main competition can begin.
The main competition will be held at the host academy, that is, the [Danu Military Academy] where Foster Ward is located. The method is similar to the single competition of the comprehensive knight fighting competition. Simply put, the opponent is determined by drawing lots. , carry out a one-to-one elimination system.
It is different from the fighting competition, because the theme is war deduction, and the concept of "win or lose" in military deduction is quite ambiguous, so the basis for promotion is "score", and these scores are judged and reviewed Teamwork combines a series of factors such as players' execution, reaction, execution of strategic goals, and effective killing of enemy units. It can stand up in most situations.
In addition, although the speed of a game of war is much slower than that of a one-on-one duel, with a large amount of equipment, the schedule of the War League is actually quite compact. As far as Mo Tan knows, historically The fastest race was completed in just two days.
In that competition, the strengths and weaknesses of the players were very different. On the first day, 256 entered 128, 128 advanced 64, 64 advanced 32, and 32 advanced 16.
In the second day of the game, from 16 to 8 to the finals, it only took one morning.
However, perhaps the league organizers felt that they could not stand it anymore. The scale of the finals battle was frantically set by the officials as a large-scale legion-level melee with tens of thousands of people. The two championship candidates have been The winner was decided at dawn of the next day after the noon deduction. After walking out of his private room, he was almost exhausted. The champion even suffered from something similar to a heart attack and almost fell cold.
Since then, similar large-scale wars have rarely occurred in the League of War. Even if there have been, the strategic goals of the players on both sides will be relatively simple and direct, and it will never be something like 'wiping out the enemy's entire army' Outrageous conditions.
In short——
“Today is the first day of the race, we will accompany you there.”
Yu Chen leaned over to smooth out the wrinkles on Mo Tan's clothes. He held his chin and walked around the latter, looking left and right for a long time. He then took out the absorbent cross he bought from his luggage when he and Mo Tan were walking together. She put on the earrings for him and narrowed her clear pair of eyes. Che's black eyes murmured: "Well... I knew this would be good. Oh, I wish I had bought that bracelet before."
Mo Tan's astonished face was slightly frightened. Hong: "Huh?"
"Don't move."
Yu Chen walked around Mo Tan's back again, then carefully held a few strands of his hair in his hands, and after gesticulating for a long time, he sighed sadly. : "Ugh...it's too short, I can't comb it." Get up."
Mo Tan was shocked, and his body became a little trembling because of the girl's breath brushing directly on the back of his neck when she spoke. He asked tremblingly: "What... why can't you comb your hair? ?”
"Hair."
Yu Chen, who had walked around to Mo Tan's left side, bit his lower lip and tried to pinch a few strands of hair around Mo Tan's ears. He wrinkled his nose and said, "I want to give you a prick." A ponytail... Well, a side ponytail is also fine, it just matches your earrings!"
Motan: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
"What's your expression~"
Yu Chen tugged Mo Tan's hair gently, and after gesticulating for a while, she finally lowered her delicate shoulders in frustration. He muttered: "No, it's still too short... Why did you make your hair so short, Mo Tan?"
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Mo Tan, who finally came back to his senses, desperately suppressed his desire to stay in the fragrance beside the girl for a few more seconds, jumped back half a meter with vigilance, and He stared at Yuchen with eyes mixed with horror, or more precisely at the curling iron in Yuchen's hand (full name [Portable A small cross with hair wrapped around the dawn], very popular among the ladies of the Battle Sisters): "What are you doing?!"
"Eh?"
The girl tilted her head , blinked cutely and confusedly: "What for?"
"Earrings!"
Mo Tan pointed at the black cross on his earlobe, rubbed his hair twice more, stared cautiously at the approaching girl in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "And the ponytail... what are you going to do? "
"Dress you up."
Yu Chen smiled as he should, and took another step forward: "Come on, hurry up and let me roll it up for you. Head..."
"Stop!"
Mo Tan took another step back, but found that he hit the cabinet next to the wall, and immediately stopped Yu Chen nervously, saying in surprise : "You...don't come over!"
Yu Chen wrinkled his nose and glanced at the curling iron in his hand with some confusion: "Don't like it? But I think it should look pretty."
Mo Tan twitched the corner of his mouth and said dryly: "I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about...that...that something...oh yes, Yu Chen, why are you dressing me up?”
The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled: “Didn’t you say this yourself?”
Mo Tan was dumbfounded: “ Did I say it myself? "
"You said~"
As he spoke, Yuchen walked up to Mo Tan, raised the curling iron in his hand, and said with firm eyes: "You also want to be cool sometimes."
Pa!
Mo Tan gently held the girl's delicate wrist and looked like he was about to cry: "That's not what I meant!"
"You said, you want to be handsome!" Yu Chen Although it is absolutely impossible for Mo Tan to be as powerful as Mo Tan in reality, the character [Chen Wangyu] is no less powerful than [Hei Fan] even in terms of strength attributes, so she is trying hard to suppress the man in front of her who refuses to obey. Her little face was a little red because she was exerting strength: "Let me... roll it up for you..."
"Yuchen, you... ugh! You misunderstood, that's what I said, I didn't think that way!"
"Don't make trouble, that's what you thought."
" I didn't...want others to think...why are you so strong?"
"Don't want others to think anything?"
"You think I'm handsome."
"I know, but do you want me to think you are handsome?"
"..."
Mo Tan, who was speechless for a moment, was in a daze and finally lost to Yu Chen in a wrestling match. , was forced to sit on the floor by that white and slender little hand.
The girl smiled sweetly. She knelt down in front of Mo Tan and gently pinched a strand of his hair. The curve of her mouth looked a little naughty: "Don't move~"
"No, um...we have something to talk about, I think..."
Mo Tan was unwilling to give up and tried to make a final resistance.
However——
“I think he will be very handsome after finishing the roll”
Pushing away Mo Tan’s weak right hand, the saintly girl, who was as clear as morning light, smiled like a flower. .
……
Ten minutes later
“Yo! Hafan, you finally did it...f*ck!”
The Saint of Fortune, who was guarding the stairs with her arms folded, let out a scream, and then disappeared. sound.
“Brother Hei Fan is so handsome today.”
The beautiful boy Sun Seiko, who has not yet left the category of ‘shota’, nodded vigorously and complimented from the bottom of his heart.
"The earrings are very beautiful."
The second princess of the Griffin Empire, Eliza Logan, put her arm around Her Royal Highness the Son's shoulders and said with a smile: "But for Brother Black, It’s a little too early.”
The ascetic wore a hood and covered his face with linen. Tom smiled gently, nodded and said: "You are indeed very elegant. When you go back, I will apply for a high-level priest uniform for you. It goes well with this hairstyle."
"Awesome."
Archbishop Sprada Whaling of the Justice Sect gave a concise and concise evaluation.
"Thank you... thank you all."
Mo Tan, who looked quite handsome, had beautiful earrings, had a temperament, was majestic, and what the hell, gave a dry laugh and weakly walked down the stairs. Yu Chen was behind with a smile. Follow him.
Actually, Mo Tan's appearance has not changed much. Apart from the addition of an extra pair of earrings, his outfit is still the priest's robe he usually wears. However, after Yu Chen carefully trimmed his eyebrows, he added After the messy black hair was permed and turned into fluffy curls, the overall energy of the person was indeed significantly improved. To put it simply, he became handsome in an objective sense.
Of course, the 'handsome' here refers to the comparison between Mo Tan and himself. If we look at it purely from the perspective of appearance, there is still a gap between him and handsome guys of Yi Dong's level.
“Look, look~”
Yu Chen, who was walking behind, pursed his lips and smiled, leaned over Mo Tan's ear and said, "Everyone praises you for being handsome."
"No."
Mo Tan's expression was numb. He shook his head and glanced at Fiyali: "She said' Damn it'."
"But I'm uneducated, so I can tell you the world!"
Fiyali, who had sharp ears, immediately put her hands on her hips and smiled, and said proudly: "Just think of me. I’m praising you!”
Mo Tan tried his best to recall how Feiyali almost vomited blood because of 'himself' at [Black Mary] yesterday afternoon, and he felt a little better: "Well, I just thought you were complimenting me."
< br>"[Danu Military Academy] is not far from here. We can have something to eat before we go."
Tom, who was sitting at the table, waved to everyone and smiled at Mo Tan: "And it doesn't matter even if you go a little later. You are a specially invited player and will only appear in the top 32. If nothing else happens, you won't be able to play today."
Archbishop Sprada laughed and patted him. The chair next to him motioned for Mo Tan to sit down: "But we think it's better to accompany you to see the atmosphere first. I heard Her Royal Highness Fiyali say, Hei Fan, you were not very serious when you were a judge in the fighting competition. ."
"Ah, this..."
"This time he is a specially invited player, and he is a member of our Holy Church United Delegation. You know what I mean."
"Uh... um."
"Watch the game carefully later. , you are familiar with the rules and so on. We don’t ask you to have a long face, but when the time comes, you won’t It's embarrassing."
"Yes..."
"Oh, by the way, I heard that classmate Richard Lane from Tianhui Seminary also signed up, right? Your Highness Yuchen? I remember his friend came to tell you about this, right?”
"Ah!?"
"Hmm...?
