Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 73 "Challenge of the Dark Dragon" (1)
Did we win? The Tongxin Alliance did win. Although Glory used the "Heaven's Gate" and even the "Book of Seals", which once suppressed us to the point where we had almost no chance to fight back, we managed to hold on thanks to the outstanding performances of Shaman and Wu Ma, as well as the superb performances of other companions. When Glory switched from offense to defense, it had already foreshadowed their fate of failure - only continuous attacks could pose a threat to me, and once I was freed, it would only be increasingly disadvantageous to them.
As I summoned more and more terrifying flying dragon knights, it was our turn to have an absolute advantage in strength. The defeat was inevitable. The stubborn persistence only delayed the time of defeat. Glory did not show enough strength to turn the tide of the battle, and finally had to accept the outcome of defeat helplessly. Although we defeated Glory as we wished and won the team championship, I was still a little surprised besides being happy - the process seemed to be easier than I expected, especially after the failure of the "Book of Seals" against Wu Ma, Glory had no means to turn the tide of the battle. In the end, it took a conservative approach at the critical moment of determining the situation, gave up continuing to attack us, and chose to meet up. Relying on the advantages of the cooperation between the Knights of Light and the Priests of Light, we fought a defensive counterattack. It was really beyond my expectations - wouldn't it be more convenient for me, a necromancer, to play? In such a situation, instead of falling into a passive state and lingering on, it might be better to fight to the death and win. How could the Supreme Honor make such an obvious mistake?
Moreover, as the two trump cards of Glory holding artifacts, if it is said that Holy Heaven fought a little harder in the individual competition and exhausted powerful props, it is reasonable, but Supreme Honor obviously gave up the semi-final with the Fearless Warriors, and it is very likely that something should be retained. Even if it cannot play a decisive role in the battle, it will at least cause us more trouble and add more variables to the game. However, in this extremely critical team final, he only relied on the "Holy Cross" to fight. With his strength and status, he can only be said to have performed mediocrely, without many eye-catching and colorful places. It feels that it is really a bit "disgraceful" to the title of "the first master of the light profession". I worried for so long in vain. I have been paying attention to his every move in the game. Even if Wu Ma tenaciously cracked the "Book of Seals" and summoned Ksitigarbha and Gonzalez, I didn't dare to have any optimistic ideas, for fear that he would suddenly show some "killer" and defeat us in one fell swoop. As a result, Supreme Honor did nothing from beginning to end. In addition to the surprise, it also left a lot of confusion and doubts.
The defeat of Glory was also beyond the expectations of most players. In the general perception of the outside world, although the Tongxin Alliance was a hot favorite to win the "Top Ten", it was almost entirely due to me that it had enough ability to compete with other powerful mercenary groups. The average strength of its members was insufficient, and it was already quite lucky to advance to the finals. In the end, it was able to complete a reversal under extremely unfavorable circumstances and defeat Glory, which was obviously superior in overall strength. This was the biggest upset of this tournament, and the championship lottery tickets in the hands of most players became a piece of waste paper. No wonder that as we finally won, we only heard a few cheers and congratulations, and the entire stadium was filled with uproar and regret.
In another battle for the third and fourth place, Longteng and Yinhe both gathered their strength and made sufficient preparations. After a fierce battle, Longteng was slightly stronger and won the game. The first and third place, against the second and fourth place, similar to the individual competition, the team competition was also dominated by the "Resistance Alliance", which obviously overwhelmed the light profession. Long Xing Tianxia took the opportunity to arrange people to spread the rumor that "Glory lost to the Tongxin Alliance twice in a row, and the future of the light profession is not bright", and promoted the "theory of the decline of the light profession", trying to expand the significance and influence of this victory, and trying to attract more neutral professional players to the "Resistance Alliance". However, the Light Profession seemed unwilling to admit its defeat, and rumors like this also emerged among the players: "The winners were only the Tongxin League and Longteng. Except for a limited number of main forces, most of the participants were not members of the 'Resistance Alliance'. This was equivalent to concentrating the advantages of all professions in 'Tianxia' to confront Glory and Galaxy, which were all composed of players from the Light Profession. Some of the victories were 'unfair' and did not represent the true strength of the 'Resistance Alliance'." Even the Tianmei published an article expressing a similar view. Although it was obviously an excuse for the failure of Glory and Galaxy in an attempt to recover the negative impact of the almost fruitless achievement of this "World Heroes Conference", it was not without reason and to a certain extent suppressed the rising momentum of the "Resistance Alliance". Obviously, the players of the Light profession had prepared emergency plans and took timely measures. It is estimated that this should be the credit of the player council led by the Supreme Honor. Although the Light profession cannot directly absorb neutral professional players to join, and only a small number of players are willing to choose to change their professions, it seems to be at a disadvantage, but they can rely on the powerful Church of Light as a backing to persuade, bribe or even coerce them to stay out of the dispute between light and darkness. For example, the Fearless Warriors, Goryeo Warriors and Lost World, who also hold artifacts, have repeatedly rejected the "recruitment" of Long Xing Tian Xia and Desert Eagle, and declared that they would remain neutral. For such a result, the biggest loss is naturally our "Resistance Alliance". I believe that as the game continues, the struggle between the Dark Council and the Light Council will intensify.
So far, the new "Top Ten Mercenary Groups in the World" have been ranked. The groups that have made it to the top are basically the old and powerful mercenary groups. At most, the rankings have fluctuated to a certain extent, and there has been no "dark horse". In order, they are Tongxin League, Glory, Longteng, Galaxy, Sun Never Sets, Star Moon, Sunset, Hope, Fearless and Jiaoyang. After winning the runner-up in the last group, our Tongxin League has made another breakthrough and won the title of "No. 1 Mercenary Group in the World". In particular, I, the "No. 1 Undead Wizard in the World", after winning the fifth place in the individual competition, almost single-handedly helped Tongxin League defeat powerful enemies, successfully creating a miracle in the nearly impossible. The limelight was so great that it even overshadowed Tongxin League, which won the group championship, and Long Xingtian, who won the title of "No. 2 Master in the World", and became the most prestigious .
With a large amount of championship bonus, Xue Wuxia and Afeng can naturally continue to help me, the biggest contributor, to challenge the last two sacred beasts required to unlock the artifact "Dead Scepter" - the water-based golden dragon and the earth-based black tortoise. After seeing the power of "Dark Night Dragon Fang" and "Thor's Hammer", I am full of expectations for the "Dead Scepter", which is said to be the strongest weapon of the undead wizard. After all, the "rumors" that the Supreme Honor spread wantonly are not without reason - if the Church of Light and the "Resistance Alliance" start the ultimate showdown now, the combination of "Holy Cross", "Angel Robe" and "Eye of Glory" should obviously be able to exert a stronger power than the three artifacts "Poison|Dragon Spear", "Touch of Death" and "Control of Death" that we have, and we don't have much chance of winning. Comprehensively comparing the strength of the top players in both camps, we still need to be further strengthened!
However, in order to participate in the "World Heroes Conference", I have been busy for nearly half a month and invested a lot of energy. Now that I have achieved success, the main members should relax and rest for two days to adjust and recover. It is not good to carry out large-scale actions immediately. At the same time, as a reward for the team championship, I bought a large area of residence at a low price, which also needs to be planned and simply built first. Moreover, the golden dragon and the black tortoise are both sacred beasts with a relatively low success rate in the challenge, and it takes time to buy the appropriate powerful props and make more adequate preparations. Therefore, even if I am eager to act, I still have to wait a few days before starting.
