Entering the Arena
Note: The Guardian Tower is the respawn hub. Players will respawn at their own Guardian Tower after being defeated. If a server's Guardian Tower is destroyed, all defeated players on that server will be forcibly returned to their original server and will be disqualified from participating in this competition.
Hiss~
The crowd gasped in disbelief.
This team competition rule was unexpected and almost completely eliminated all possibilities of cooperation between the four servers.
With a Guardian Tower score as high as 1000 points and Guardian Tower resurrection mechanism, players on all servers dare not abandon their own Guardian Tower, but want to destroy the Guardian Tower of other servers.
The White Nation and Black Nation knew they were no match for the other two servers, and they had originally planned to cooperate.
But when the rules of the competition were announced, both countries were completely dumbfounded.
How malicious! How can we cooperate like this?
Even if one side is willing to give up the 1000 points for Guardian Tower and cooperate with another server, doing so means they only have one life, and if they die, they will be teleported back to the server.
How do you play?
They realized that Guardian Tower was key to this team match! Guardian Tower was destroyed, the game was basically over!
Putting aside other factors, this team competition is designed to be quite fair.
But then again...
Is it really necessary to make a competition this fair?
The World Channel on all servers exploded instantly, with all players discussing the competition rules.
Just then, the system voice sounded again.
"Team participants have been selected; prepare to teleport."
As the system voice sounded, a golden five-pointed star suddenly appeared on the chests of dozens of players among all the contestants.
Without a doubt, they were all selected to participate in the competition.
Unfortunately, neither Jian Qingfeng nor Zhou He were selected for this team competition.
Zhou He quickly counted them.
A total of thirty-six players were selected on their side.
The remaining fourteen contestants will be selected from players in City of Kings and other factions.
These ratios are somewhat dangerous.
However, Zhou He felt a little relieved when he remembered the message from Falling Leaf that most of the candidates in the City of Kings had chosen to side with them.
Watching the chosen player disappear from the spot, Zhou He sighed.
"I wonder what the actual competition was like?"
Zhou He was thinking this, suddenly, a curtain slowly unfolded above everyone's heads, and a line of words appeared on it: Team Match Live Footage.
"Is this... a live broadcast of the match?"
Cloud Sea is so thoughtful.
The appearance of the curtain instantly attracted everyone's attention; as long as one wasn't in the secret realm, they could see the live broadcast of the match just by looking up.
At that moment, all the players stopped what they were doing and looked up at the curtain.
The text above suddenly burst into flames, until the entire screen became a burning fire.
A moment later, the flames disappeared, and a square map appeared on the screen.
The entire map is predominantly blue and purple, with a small golden tower symbol standing at each of the four corners, corresponding to the Guardian Tower of the four major servers.
Four side roads extend from the periphery of the map, and cross the main cross road in the middle. The road network is staggered and spliced to form a regular "field" pattern.
Apart from the road area, the rest of the territory was shrouded in layers of hazy Nebula, with swirling mists obscuring the view inside.
"This is the Interstellar Canyon map? It looks kind of fun!"
The fresh maps and brand-new game rules have piqued the curiosity of all players.
The system notification sounded again.
"The Eastern Guardian Tower is Dragon Nation Server. The participants are..."
"The Western Guardian Tower is the server for the White Nation, and the participants are..."
"The Southern Guardian Tower is a server for the Black Nation, and the participants are..."
"The Northern Guardian Tower is hosted on the Mirror City Server. The participants are..."
After the system announcement ended, the map of the Interstellar Canyon above the screen began to expand.
At the same time, four small screens appeared at the four corners of the large map, projecting the situation of the players on the four servers respectively.
Each server immediately focused its view on its own server's small screen, and Zhou He was no exception.
The minimap clearly showed the participants, and seeing that Shen Long and Quan Zhong were also not selected, Zhou He finally felt relieved.
"My senior brother was chosen. In addition, 10 other players from the Land of Four Extremes were also chosen from the City of Kings. One of them is Shen Long's confidant, and the remaining two should be from the Bai Family."
Jian Qingfeng looked at the map and spoke.
On the Interstellar Canyon map, each player has a server abbreviation and their own ID above their head.
The abbreviation for Dragon Nation is "Dragon," while the White Nation and Black Nation are "White" and "Black," and the abbreviation for Mirror City is "Mirror."
Players can easily identify which server they are on, so there's no need to worry about getting confused.
This situation is slightly better than Zhou He had anticipated.
Whether they can get a ranking depends on how they do it.
I hope everything goes well.
Zhou He looked at the small screen of the Dragon Nation Server again.
Interstellar Canyon.
After a dizzying spin, a blue metal platform appeared before them. In the center of the platform stood a tall tower, estimated to be over twelve meters high, with a translucent, icy Blue Gem set atop it, its surface shimmering with light.
Everyone instantly understood that this was the Guardian Tower of their Dragon Nation Server.
There is a road on each side of the platform leading into the distance, with blue-purple Nebula on both sides, obscuring the actual situation.
Where are they now? Where are the Guardian Tower on the other servers? And where are the monsters mentioned in the rules?
Aside from the three-day countdown overhead, they knew nothing about the Interstellar Canyon.
What should I do? I have no idea where to start!
Everyone fell silent.
A moment later, a voice rang out.
"Everyone knows the rules of this Interstellar Canyon competition, right?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
The player who spoke was tall and imposing, standing at least 1.9 meters tall, with a robust and muscular physique. Above his head was the ID: [Dragon] Iron Blood Blade.
Iron Blood Blade?
He's ranked eighteenth on the Combat Power Leaderboard, the captain of the first team in the Military District, and also the most powerful official player selected this time.
He was also a player who came from the <Land of Four Extremes>.
Among the people from the Dragon Nation who had entered, Iron Blood Blade saw that he was the strongest, and he had no choice but to step forward and take charge.
"Captain One-Sword, we understand the rules, but we've never seen this Interstellar Canyon map before, so we have no idea where to go."
One player responded.
Iron Blood Blade nodded.
"We'll definitely explore the map later; right now, the most important thing is to determine a commander-in-chief."
"Although we come from different factions, we are all fighting for the Dragon Nation Server here. I hope that we can unite and fight hard to preserve our Dragon Nation Server."
"As you've all seen the competition rules, this competition involves attacking and defending towers, killing players and monsters, and now we're adding map exploration as a new element."
"Going it alone is definitely not going to work, so I suggest that we determine the team's overall commander and basic tactics before we begin. What do you think?"
No sooner had Iron Blood Blade finished speaking than a Military player eagerly chimed in.
"Is there even a choice? Captain Yidao, you're the strongest, of course we'll choose you."
