Battle Fills Us with Glory

"I never expected we would end up here."

"Yes, we really didn't expect it. Thanks to the 'Sain's Glory Lightning Transport Line' opened by the Golden Lion Merchant Guild, we were able to get here so quickly."

Sai Ke two adventurers, who were no longer really passersby, followed the bustling crowd and stepped off the manned transportation creature—the earth dragon—while sighing with Qiao Ke La.

A massive city, adorned with countless flags bearing various symbols and even its walls covered in colorful markings, stood before the crowd, and a wave of intense fighting spirit swept over them.

Earth Dragon is a creature unique to the Warrior Country. Although it is called an Earth Dragon, it actually looks more like a super-giant earthworm.

Its body has undergone special magical modifications and selection by generations of beast tamers, eventually becoming a vehicle with a natural safe space inside its body. With slight modifications, it can be transformed into a comfortable passenger transport vehicle. Assuming that a passageway is laid in advance, its speed is only slightly slower than that of a griffin!

Due to the difficulty of cultivating earth dragons and the need to pave roads in advance for human transportation, these creatures are all under the control of the state and are generally used as a means of transportation between cities. However, not every city is fortunate enough to have earth dragons.

At least, there was originally no connection between Black Rock City Hero City, where the Zane Dungeon and the Boulder Dungeon are located, and the City of Heroes, where the Glory Dungeon is located.

However, after news of the anomaly in the Glory Dungeon spread, based on a now widely known fact, with Prince Lan Le's special approval, the Golden Lion Merchant Guild invested heavily in cooperation with local nobles to open up the Earth Dragon Road as quickly as possible.

Sai Ke and Qiao Ke La were among the first to experience this route.

"When I was a child, I lived in the countryside, and all the important people I met came from Hero City," said Sai Ke, feeling both excited and nostalgic. "Coming here has been my dream since I was a child."

"Really?" Qiao Ke La glanced at him, then turned her gaze to the intricate array of colorful symbols on the city wall. Each symbol was beautifully designed, dazzling the eye. "Is this your first time here?"

"Of course, because I heard that even guild commissions are dangerous here. How could I have dared to come here to make a living before?" Saying this, Sai Ke n't help but smile, rolled up his sleeves and showed off his increasingly muscular physique, and said, "But now I have confidence, because of Sai En."

Qiao Ke La suddenly had the idea to tease him, and said expressionlessly, "If you grow too much muscle, you won't grow tall."

"Eh!?" Sai Ke was struck Raigeki and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Alright, let's hurry to the Glory Dungeon while we still have time." Qiao Ke La pulled him along and they started running.

However, before they even reached the entrance to the Glory Dungeon, their steps were blocked by a bustling crowd.

Looking out, it seemed to stretch on forever; the six portals of the Glory Dungeon were constantly sending people in without stopping.

"Wow, there were so many people all along?"

"No, look closely, most of them came with us from the Earth Dragon."

Qiao Ke La also somewhat surprised and asked, "Just how many people who were supposed to be in the Zane Dungeon have ended up here?"

"So many!" The people in front of her all turned around and said.

"That's really something."

The two, who had never seen much of a grand occasion, were deeply shocked.

Glory Dungeon, a dungeon that every young person in the Warrior Country has heard of.

It could even be said that many people's childhood dream was to win the championship in the [Glory Battlefield] of the Glory Dungeon and become a supernova in the spotlight.

If the Zane Dungeon is a "sudden arrival" for the young people of the Warrior Country, then the Glory Dungeon is a "childhood sweetheart" experience.

While the "sudden arrival" relationship has many advantages, people tend to view childhood sweethearts through a more romantic lens, and the emotional connection they have with them might even surpass that of the "sudden arrival" relationship.

Of course, the little fairy who falls from the sky will definitely use all sorts of tricks to successfully steal people away from Qingmei!

If you want to introduce an underground city, you would usually start from three aspects.

First, its backstory; second, its unique areas; and third, its various rewards.

The Glory Dungeon possesses all the qualities that the Warrior Country would love in these three aspects.

It tells the story of heroes fighting against evil gods.

In a distant era, a Brave fought a demon king to the death, but the demon king's remnants awakened a terrifying evil god. With a wave of his hand, the evil god summoned thousands of troops, whose Iron Hoof, burning with Spirit Fire, wantonly trampled the human world.

Countless heroes emerged from the Warrior Country on the front lines of the disaster. Undeterred by death, they threw themselves into the battle against the evil god with their indomitable Warrior spirit. Even though the human body shattered at the touch of the evil god's power, they did not stop their advance.

That long battle nearly destroyed the Warrior Country.

In the most desperate moment, the God of War, who had gradually stopped responding to human prayers, suddenly appeared and bestowed his blessing upon the Warrior Country once more. The Warrior who received the blessing became much stronger, and heroes who could be adapted into legendary ballads and sung for a long time emerged one after another during that period. In the end, they successfully drove away the evil god's minions, and the God of War also stepped in to reseal them, and peace was restored to the human world.

That battle cemented the Warrior Country, and the spirit of Warrior became synonymous with that era.

Every Warrior who distinguished himself in the war was later called a hero, which is the origin of the name of the Hero City. Each symbol carved on its city walls corresponds to a hero.

The story of Glory Dungeon tells the tales of countless heroes.

For the people of the Warrior Country, this place is not just an underground city, but also a major base for patriotic education, holding a special status.

Coincidentally, the various areas of the Glory Dungeon were also created around the heroes.

It divided that long war into countless small regions, each containing the story of a hero's brilliance. By exploring those regions, challenging elites and bosses, and finally battling the hero's avatar, adventurers may obtain the hero's legacy.

These regions are named after the corresponding heroes and are collectively referred to as the Heroic Regions.

To date, the Glory Dungeon has presented twelve hero zones, and new zones and hero stories will be created from time to time due to unforeseen changes.

According to the Gladiator himself, he currently has at least a hundred stories of heroes, but he's too lazy to release them.

Besides the Heroic Zone and Heritage Zone, the Glory Dungeon also has a very important special area: the Glory Battlefield.

After entering the Glory Battlefield, adventurers will randomly encounter a corner of the war from that year. The more monsters they kill in the war, the higher their ranking on the [Glory Stone Tablet]. At the end of each cycle when the stele is settled, the higher the ranking, the better the rewards. The first place is called the Glory Champion.

Within each cycle, adventurers can challenge the Glory Battlefield an unlimited number of times, but the ranking on the Glory Stone Tablet will only record the adventurer's record of the most kills and rank them accordingly.

The Glory Battlefield and the area of heroes are the main attractions of the Glory Dungeon.

"I really want to experience it all, but unfortunately I have to go back to Sien to continue training." Sai Ke looked at the Glory Dungeon with eyes full of admiration.

"It's been a long time since I've seen it so popular," an elderly local resident remarked from the crowd.

"Huh? What happened here?" Sai Ke asked.

"You don't know, do you, young man?" The old man looked at him, his eyes flashing with Remembrance, and told him what he knew.

However, in recent years, the once-popular Glory Dungeon has suddenly lost its appeal due to certain reasons, resulting in a sharp decline in player traffic.

Ultimately, it's the impact of the "Warrior Reform".

More and more people with magical talent are switching to magic, and while their Weapon Skill remain strong, people can no longer understand them.

The main reward of the Glory Dungeon is the Heroic Legacy, which includes replicas of weapons, equipment, talents, and most importantly, Weapon Skill. As heroes blessed by the God of War, very few of them know magic!

Therefore, the young people who were swept up in the wave of Warrior Reform no longer come here.

In addition, the influence of historical nihilism promoted by those with ulterior motives has gradually diminished the area's status as a former patriotic education base.

Of all the changes sweeping through the Warrior Country, the Glory Dungeon is undoubtedly the most affected.

"Just a bunch of guys who can't understand the benefits of Weapon Skill," Sai Ke commented indignantly. He glanced at the bustling crowd, then smiled and said with relief:

"Fortunately, its new mutation and the Zane Dungeon are compatible."

The old man nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, thanks to Sain, and also thanks to the mutation of Glory."

"The new anomaly allows us adventurers to temporarily transform into the heroes themselves, experience their life's work, and witness their legendary Weapon Skill up close."

"After receiving instruction from Beinal in the Zane Dungeon, he was able to be in a state of constant inspiration when learning the Weapon Skill of the heroes, and his learning speed far exceeded that of the past."

Sai Ke glanced at the silver coin in his hand engraved with the image of a hero and said:

"It's wonderful that these two underground cities can produce such a strange reaction."

"Young man, what was the name of that new area that was created by the mutation?" the old man asked suddenly, his memory failing him.

Sai Ke thought for a moment and said:

"I think it's called something like 'Three, Three'."

"Thirty Heroes?"
