"Cassius, please wait for my good news."
The silver dragon spreads its wings and soars in the sky, its streamlined body is particularly graceful, and its silver-like wings shimmer in the sunlight.
"Finally, she was fooled into lameness."
"The next step is to wait for assistance from the good camp. I believe that old guy Oszedro still has some conscience."
Looking at the silver dragon going away, Cassius nodded slightly, and then looked at the panel where the information was refreshed again.
[The comprehensive strength level of the NPC force camp [Burning Empire] you created reaches: 3]
[Unlock new section: camp activities]
This was not beyond Cassius's expectation. Level 3 forces were already ranked among the top in Fianso Continent.
You must know that the Holy Fadelan, which was at its peak for a while, was only a level 5 force in the system's evaluation.
After a year of development, the empire's politics, economy and even culture have made great progress.
The Matera Farm has been fully operational, supplying food to the whole country. The empire's military-industrial system has also been initially established and prosperous. The parliamentary system has gradually become a common practice, and the political system has become more and more complete.
The progress of productivity, the prosperity of people's lives, and the influence of players have also brought about the rapid development of social culture, and countless new trends of thought have emerged.
The confident and martial spirit spread throughout the country.
In just a few years, the people in the remote and barren land of Anzeta Wilderness have reached both material and spiritual peaks.
Although behind this momentum of prosperity lies the sweat of countless workers and the blood and tears of the people of the south, this is also hidden under the glorious appearance of the empire.
"The camp activities are also coming."
Cassius smiled.
Faction activities can allow him to occupy a place in the player panel and completely integrate the empire's activities into the player's life.
After the 2.0 version is launched, camp activities will also attract more players to it, making the Ember Empire the "main camp" in the minds of more players.
You must know that the next version will open up many ancient teleportation circles-the so-called "rebirth points".
The current Ember Empire can also rely on its home court advantage to win over almost all players.
But that won’t be the case in the next version: the Elf Kingdom in the High Forest, the Free Trade Federation in Silvermoon Bay, the three kingdoms of Fadland at war, and the orc clan in the Rosa Desert will all become extremely attractive birth points. .
Cassius recalled various points in time in his memory.
"It is now May 2, 1789, in the Third Era. There are still two months left before the end of the Northland Storm version and the first server shutdown after the open beta."
"Then, let the Burning Ember Empire host the first official PVP event on a server-wide scale."
In Cassius’ plan in his previous life, the first full-server PVP event appeared in the [Clash of Kings] version, and was jointly held by dozens of wealthy guilds.
But now, the event is being brought forward.
This is Cassius's plan - to prepare a large-scale PVP event before the server is closed, and to drain the players' experience and gold coins for the last time in the [Northland Storm] version.
At the same time, this can also highlight the status of the "official camp" of the Ember Empire and attract more players in the future.
Two years ago, Cassius personally proposed the plan for the "Imperial Coliseum" and allowed this majestic building to appear in Isdalia just for this day to come.
About three months ago, Cassius handed over this matter to Trump to prepare. Now all the matters are almost ready, just waiting for the official announcement to be issued.
"Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind."
Cassius called out the panel again. He blew out a puff of thin white smoke, and the golden vertical pupils flashed with light.
[Will a large-scale camp event be announced to players? ]
[yes. ]
[Please name this camp activity. ]
Cassius thought for a moment and couldn't think of a nice name, so he could only give it the name "Empire" perfunctorily - just like he had named the Imperial Arena.
[Named: [The First Gladiator Tournament of the Ember Empire]]
[Faction activities have been released! ]
On May 3, 1789, in the Third Age, nearly 400,000 "Erezegai" players simultaneously received notifications of camp activities.
The announcement ignited everyone's enthusiasm.
The players are excited!
Suddenly, posts about the "Imperial Gladiator Conference" became popular on the forum, and soon, almost everyone was discussing this upcoming event.
"What the hell?"
"The rewards are so generous! There are also titles and costumes!"
"Do dogs officially want to be humans?"
"I want to participate too!"
"I originally wanted to remain anonymous and become a Buddhist player, but now I have to reveal my identity as a peerless master!"
"Come on, it's just a toy for wealthy families and professional bosses. It's just for the fun of mere mortals like us."
"Is this the last big event in this version?"
The reason is simple. The rewards in this competition are extremely generous and unprecedented.
For example, players who win the individual competition will not only receive generous gold coins and experience rewards, but also the special title of "Dragon Flame Champion" and costumes.
[Dragon Flame Champion] can turn the player's nickname into golden red, and at the same time can increase a little precious charm.
And that piece of clothing is even more eye-catching, with a gold-plated luxurious shell, exquisite claw and claw carvings, domineering dragon head and shoulder armor, and even two slowly flapping flame wings on the back
It can be called full of special effects!
It can only be said that it fully meets the fantasies of all wealthy players.
In fact, this is just a piece of equipment casually crafted by Cassius with his strong control over the fire element, and it can barely reach rare quality.
Cassius could make seven or eight pieces of equipment like this in a day, but only released one piece to ensure its scarcity.
The spiritual robes and armors prepared for the top four and top eight players were by-products of Cassius's experiments with elements, and were originally meant to be thrown out as garbage.
The equipment effect is not very strong, but the appearance is indeed full.
Some people also broke the news, saying that they were mid-level officials of the empire and were also involved in the preparations for this game.
Indeed, not only the empire officials were involved in the preparations for this competition, but also various player guilds and clubs were involved, and they even issued a joint statement.
"The first gladiatorial conference of the Ember Empire officially opens! This is a grand event for players! This is the biggest stage of "Erezegai"!"
"Swords, fists, magic, beasts, you can use dazzling means to fight heartily, bringing the ultimate visual and auditory enjoyment to this event!"
"The camp leader [Ember Emperor-Cassius] will personally come to the knockout site. He will witness your performance and bestow upon the final winner generous rewards and supreme glory!"
As soon as the statement was issued, the players were excited again.
In the past two years, Cassius rarely appeared in public, spending most of his time in the palace.
In the minds of players, compared to ordinary NPCs, the emperor has become more like a "background board" and has become an omnipotent existence in legendary stories.
Many Dragonsworn Paladin players use "Casius Bless" as their mantra - because after actual testing by several big players, this can indeed increase the success rate of Holy Oath spells.
Every time Cassius appears, veteran players know that they have to start watching the cutscenes. The red dragon is like a plug-in that belongs exclusively to the Ember Empire camp. Every time it appears, it can mercilessly destroy the enemy.
To be personally appreciated by the emperor is like "a mythical character coming into reality."
How can this not be exciting?
The members of special guilds such as the "Dragon Control Club" and "His Majesty Cassius's Support Club" were even more excited. The reasons for this need not be explained.
I'm greedy for Your Majesty's body!
The competition system of the [Imperial Gladiator Tournament] is relatively simple and easy to understand. Due to time constraints and the imminent server closure, they did not engage in playoffs or points competitions.
There are three types of competitive atmosphere: individual competition, team competition, and guild competition. The individual competition is a one-on-one duel between two players in a specified venue. If one party surrenders or is killed, it will be deemed a failure.
The team competition is a classic four-person team fighting. One party surrenders or is destroyed by the team as a failure.
The number of people in the guild competition is the largest. Each guild is limited to fifty people. They compete on the prescribed battlefield. If one party surrenders or the team is destroyed, it will be considered a failure.
Due to the tight schedule of the competition, there are only two stages: the group stage and the knockout stage.
In the group stage, registered players or teams are divided into different groups to compete against each other. Victory is awarded 3 points, a draw is 1 point, and failure is 0 points. The individual or team with the highest points will be selected into the knockout round.
In the knockout stage, it is a brutal fight, from the top 100 to the final battle, the winner will advance to the next round, and the loser will leave sadly - until the final winner is chosen.
And this is also the last large-scale event before the end of the [Northland Storm] version. Almost all players are coveting the championship.
Of course, there are also some professional players and strategy masters who have received support from their respective fans, so various combat posts began to appear on the forum.
The most hotly discussed hot post is undoubtedly [Who will be the individual champion? 】, this post has already received thousands of replies, and the number continues to increase. The number of commenters in it is complex.
"S University must be the champion!"
"He's pretty much a fan. This is a professional league. He's just an independent player with no resources and only the same skills. What kind of trouble can he cause?"
"I'm still optimistic about Overlord, the King Power Guild's family is too strong."
"Who is better than the Mechanicus? Who knows how far their technology tree has climbed. It is said that the big guys inside have developed powered armor. They might throw a can to scare you to death!"
"Isn't Charlotte worthy? The PVP intensity of a prepared mage is quite high."
"But he is so wrong."
"My wife is the best in summer night and autumn rain!"
"This is a gladiatorial competition, not a beauty contest, just a show of beauty."
"Everyone, I have something to say. I think Langli Baitiao is the one with the strongest hard power and the most likely to win the championship."
"The prodigal beast takes the big horn."
"It's so disgusting, the prodigal beast is talking about his subordinates again."
"???"
"Putting aside character, just relying on the three Yu family, Rain City has a chance to win the championship."
"Where are the steamed buns? Didn't anyone say steamed buns?"
"To cook, just practice more."
"Liao Man should update the video. He is not suitable for participating in this kind of activity."
"Brother Zhan Kuang is the invincible! Cut off all the teeth!"
"I don't pay attention to the game, I just want to touch His Majesty Cassius's tail, hey hey. qwq Your Majesty Cassius."
"What unknown creature is upstairs?"
"Does this need to be said? Those perverts like to show pictures of dragons."
"."
"In the original history, the champion of the first PVP event should have been the president of the Royal Guild. I wonder what changes will happen now?"
Cassius thought as he browsed the popular forum and deliberately ignored a few unusual comments.
"Xin Gou, I will not lose! I will decide the title of Dragon Flame Champion!"
"Crack!"
In the tavern, Steamed Bun slammed the table and made an aggressive declaration.
The people around him suddenly looked at him with crazy eyes, which made Mantou shrink back.
"Ouch——"
Noodles, who was tied to a pillar outside the tavern, seemed to feel the owner's movements and let out a howl.
"Oh."
Singo didn't even raise his head, he just looked at the paper in his hand and responded perfunctorily.
Seeing that the other party did not respond to his declaration of war, Mantou felt as if he had been punched on cotton, feeling particularly aggrieved.
All the heroic spirit in Mantou's chest was released like air from a punctured balloon.
He walked up and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Singo continued to look through the pages and said casually: "Study your opponents in advance and be fully prepared, but just look at the stronger players."
Mantou looked over curiously and saw familiar names written on those papers: Charlotte, Overlord, Steel Frenzy, Dawei Tianlong, Rain City.
Behind those names are also written details about their professional abilities, equipment attributes, weakness analysis, etc. It seems that they have been compiled with a lot of effort.
"Damn, it's so detailed. Did you make this now?"
"Of course not. I have been collecting information on various players two months ago. Haven't you received internal information? Oh, by the way, you are not considered a middle-level official and have no authority."
"."
Steamed Bun suddenly fell silent.
After a moment, he asked with some anticipation: "By the way, what about me?"
"Did you also collect my information? Show it to me quickly! Oh, I didn't expect that as a teammate, we get along day and night, and you would steal my information. It's really..."
Singo then raised his head, gave him a strange look, and said calmly: "I said, I only collect valuable information."
"Uh"
Steamed Bun smiled awkwardly and turned around: "Brother Zhan Kuang, you should also participate."
The born warrior touched his bald head with swelling and smiled: "Of course, I'm the best at this kind of activity. Maybe I'll be the one to cut off Singo in the end?"
"I will not show mercy. If you meet me, I will split you in half."
Steamed Bun glanced at the blood-stained giant ax in the opponent's hand, then looked at the smile on the opponent's face, and couldn't help but swallow.
Ming was saying the cruelest words, but he had the most honest smile on his face. Maybe this is the unique charm of Brother Zhan Kuang.
"Sister Qiu Yu is still gentle——"
Steamed Bun looked at Xia Ye Qiu Yu again.
A soft smile appeared on Xia Ye Qiuyu's delicate face.
But then, along with the sound of the air tearing, violent tongues of fire poured out from those golden eyes, which was difficult to contain.
"."
There was another moment of silence.
Mantou feels that his road to competition may become bumpy.
