With the accompaniment of the music, pictures begin to appear - towering snow-capped mountains, vast forests full of vitality, endless green grasslands... Several costumes Adventurers of all kinds, carrying heavy luggage and various weapons, walked among the grass that was half a person tall. From time to time, they needed to cut the grass with a knife to clear the way. When the last clump of thatch was separated, a quiet and peaceful small village appeared in the field of vision. Women were washing clothes by the river, children were playing at the entrance of the village, and oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages were coming in and out, while the houses were rising in the sunset. The smoke from the kitchen...
Then, the tune of the music suddenly changed, becoming intense and rapid, and the rhythm became faster and faster... The audience's mood jumped violently.

They were roaring and rushing towards the road ahead, where a group of fully armed and prepared human adventurers appeared. Human archers frequently raised their bows and strings, Goblin scouts swung their slings desperately, human and non-human magic chanters were reciting incantations, and countless arrows, stones and magic light balls were going back and forth in the sky. Shooting.

At the same time, the coalition of ogres and goblins had just started fighting with human adventurers in the wilderness, but the screen suddenly lifted up, crossing the distant sky, and finally landed on a dilapidated castle that was burning with war. Thousands of zombies, skeletons, nightmare horses, bone dragons and other undead creatures are attacking this originally solid-looking giant stone castle from all directions. One fireball after another streaked across the hazy sky, slamming into the city wall or the array of the undead army, but failed to cause much commotion. Looking from between heaven and earth, the entire battlefield is filled with dull dark gray tones, making it look lifeless... and the soundtrack has also turned into a decadent style of heavy metal rock, making it appear noisy and desperate.
Voice-over: In this land, in addition to the various races that have been fighting against each other for thousands of years, there are also countless undead creatures crawling out of the graves, with hatred for all life, threatening all living people. The living and the undead began to roar and fight on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the scene of the undead attacking the city became more and more fierce. Countless skeleton soldiers were as dense as moss and covered the city wall. However, the human soldiers guarding the wall still resisted bravely with spears and bows and arrows. Several magicians kept waving their magic wands, shooting colorful light balls, blowing up and knocking down skeleton soldiers and zombies...

The bigger the figure, only a few heads can be seen The huge bone dragon suddenly appeared above the castle. Then, driven by a lich's flag, it flapped its wings like rags and swooped down from a high altitude like a kamikaze suicide plane. Aimed at the city wall and launched a collision!
In an instant, the background sound was suddenly turned to the maximum at this moment, the passionate and fierce war drums beat loudly, the electronic percussion was deafening, the tall and majestic city walls tilted and collapsed under the violent impact, and the unsteady humans and undead were buried in the smoke and dust. Falling from the wall.
However, after the city wall collapsed and a gap was created, facing the crazy influx of undead creatures, the human defenders not only were not intimidated, but instead shouted more and more excitedly, holding up their spears and swords, stepping on the stumps on the ground, Dead corpses, armors and weapons launched a counterattack against the undead army! Suddenly, there were explosions on the small battlefield in the gap in the city wall. Blood and flesh were flying, broken limbs and bones were flying, fireballs and lightning were rolling, it was like a Shura field! Countless smashed skeletons covered the ground, as if there was a heavy snowfall.
However, just when the fierce battle was in full swing, the screen was greatly zoomed out again, first to the smoke-filled mid-air, and then following the roaring flying bone dragon, it turned to the barren farmland, ruins of villages and towns, and the lush and vast forest in the distance. , and the towering mountains reaching into the clouds... With a final "bang", the entire picture shattered instantly, and only a string of big characters fell from the sky, roaring with a heavy bass——
