Chapter 998: The Brave's Game

Meng Chao was stunned for a long time before he said: "That is to say, cruel fighting will happen anytime and anywhere?"

"Yes, on the street, in a pub, in a casino, the more crowded and lively places, the more likely there is to fight."

Ice Storm explained, "The process and rules of gladiatorial battles have been greatly simplified. A clan warrior swayed on the road, seeing members of an opposing family, an enemy with a grudge, or just looking at the ugly appearance of the opposite samurai. In general, the other party will never and cannot refuse the invitation to fight. If anyone refuses this invitation, everyone will be ridiculed. Don’t think that in the next war, command the troops and **** valuable trophies. .

"Similarly, they can also continue to increase their bets under the full view of everyone—resources, armor, and even the affiliation between the two parties can be used to bet. For example, two clan warriors have a hundred-man servant team. After they fight and decide the victory or defeat, the victor has the right to command the loser's team, and the loser will become the victor's lieutenant and follow the victor's command in the war, which is roughly what it means.

"Of course, it's okay to play the black hand and sap, but if you don't fight squarely in full view, you can't get the opponent's surrender and promote your own reputation.

"As for deaths and injuries, there will definitely be. Although high-ranking orcs have thick skin and are beaten to death in gladiatorial fights, it is not a common occurrence, but it does happen and it is not a major event. It is just a response to the call of the ancestor spirit.

"According to the Turan tradition, this kind of unrestricted fighting is called a'game of the brave', but in my opinion, it is more like the last madness before the blood is the alliance. It is a game that will continue to be full. The half-month carnival is also the most generous sacrifice to the ancestor spirit before the expedition, using blood and death as sacrifices, hoping that the ancestor spirit will bestow good luck on the entire clan."

Meng Chao was stunned.

Have a deeper understanding of the martial arts of the higher orcs.

"Every time the Glory Era begins, is there a'game of the brave'?" he asked.

"That's not the case. If the two Glory Era are close enough, the heroes of the last war have not fallen, and can rely on prestige to effectively dominate the clan army, then there is no need to play the'Game of the Brave'."

Ice Storm said, "If a certain family is particularly strong, and the strongest people with absolute dominance emerge, then under the orders of the strongest, there is no need to play the'game of the brave.'

"But like this time, the heroes of the past have fallen one after another, and the major families have recharged and expanded wildly in the long and prosperous era, and there have been countless arrogant and arrogant soldiers. A'game of the brave', convinced them, is more conducive to the next combat command-this is thousands of years of war experience and tells us the truth."

"and so…"

Meng Chao was still in disbelief, "Those who die in the'Game of the Brave' are... dead for nothing?"

"If you die in the'Game of the Brave', it means that the dead are not strong enough."

Ice Storm naturally said, "Since it is not strong enough, dying in the'Game of the Brave' is the best ending.

"After all, it is better for a weak person to die in Pointe Noire than to let him lead thousands of troops and die on the battlefield, killing himself, but also killing countless subordinates and colleagues, leading to the collapse of the front and losing the war. ,right?"

"It seems reasonable, what about the totem armor?"

Meng Chao still cares more about this question, "The winner can grab the totem armor of the loser at will?"

"Theoretically yes, as long as the winner is confident, he can eat the totem armor of the loser."

Ice Storm said, "In practice, every totem warrior can absorb the totem armor of a limit. This is easy to understand. A warrior wearing one layer of armor is definitely better than a warrior without armor, but wearing ten layers. A warrior in heavy armor is not necessarily better than a warrior wearing two or three layers of heavy armor, because the former may have been crushed to death by ten layers of heavy armor. Even if it is not crushed to death, it is probably impossible to walk. You understand me. Mean?"

"understand."

Meng Chao nodded, "It's not enough to pass, any power is a double-edged sword."

The same is true for the training system of Longcheng Civilization.

The higher the realm, the better.

The higher the realm, the more psychic energy will flow into the brain and stimulate the brain, making people hear more chaotic sounds, see more weird pictures, and be more susceptible to the influence of the "primordial call". As for the madness, it becomes a deformed and distorted monster.

The first Heavenly Peak powerhouse Meng Chao knew, "Soul Broken Blade" Luo Wu, according to him, had already possessed the power to attack the God Realm, but he had not dared to take this step for a long time because he was worried about the God Realm. The backlash of the power.

The former Dragon City master, Lei Zongchao, the "War God", can only curl up in the "War God Temple" that is isolated from the interference of the psychic and magnetism in his twilight years. The flesh and blood body is in a state of entanglement that is neither life nor death. It is also a manifestation of this backlash.

Totem Battle Armor, just to show this backlash more concretely.

"The victor usually does not deprive the loser of the full set of totem armors, but only a symbolic capture of a little bit, so that the loser will swear to the ancestral spirits in full view that he will obey the victor's orders throughout the Glory Era. , The winner can be considered indirectly possessing all the fighting power of the loser."

Ice Storm further explained, "Of course, many clan warriors of humble origins, before the start of the "Game of the Brave", are far from reaching the upper limit of their totem armor, so they will often start more fiercely, regardless of the three or seven. Twenty-one, let's take enough pieces of the battle armor first.

"And such a person is also the most likely to be backlashed by the fierce soul hidden in the fragments of the battle armor, and transformed into a poor worm of the'origin warrior'.

"But no matter how the Totem Battle Armor goes, it is actually not a loss for the entire Bloodhoof clan.

"Because the totem armor can store the master's combat experience and kill skills, and transfer these experience and skills to the next owner's mind. The masters fight and kill, life and death, but the totem armor will always exist, and Becoming stronger and stronger.

"So, every time the'Game of the Brave' is played more fiercely, the deaths and injuries of the major families seem to be heavier. In fact, they have received a large number of warriors with actual combat experience and more powerful totem armors. In real wars, even more terrifying combat power erupts."

"I understand. It's like a rusty war machine. It needs a lot of blood and lubrication of internal organs to start rumble and...run to its limit in the shortest time."

Meng Chao murmured, "Should everyone participate in the'Game of the Brave'?"

"Of course not. If you are afraid of death, just hide in the Blood Skull Arena. Even the elite warriors of the Ironhide family can't break into the Blood Skull Arena to die, right?"

Ice Storm said, "However, in this way, there is no way to promote their bravery. Instead, people will be ridiculed as cowards who only dare to fight'regularly' on the arena, and even the servants under his command will be distracted from their morals. Think of yourself as following a cowardly master.

"What's more, each major family will allocate forces, resources and combat tasks based on the results of the next half month. Those guys who have found nothing in the'Game of the Brave' will be sent to defend the city or the heavy team. Only the real Only those who are brave can enjoy the glory of siege, destroy and destroy—and glory is everything about the Turan warriors.”

Meng Chao nodded and stared at the Snow Leopard female warrior: "So, Lord Ice Storm will also participate in the'Game of the Brave', right?"

"Yes, I am definitely going to participate."

Ice Storm said frankly, "Since you killed Big Buck, I don't have to hide it from you. My purpose is not to promote my name, to seize a higher position and more troops in the bloodhoof army, and such boring things.

"My purpose is only one, and that is more fragments of totem battle armor.

"Although the'Mythril Ripper' is already very strong, I feel that it has not evolved to the limit that I can bear.

"In other words, what I am going to do in Chijin City requires me to have a stronger totem armor, preferably ten times stronger than the current Mythril Ripper.

"Even if tomorrow will become the'origin warrior', today, I will devour more fragments of totem armor!

"If I want to stabilize the totem power in my body and reduce the probability of becoming an'origin warrior', I must simultaneously devour a large amount of golden fruit, totem beast flesh and blood, and core, feed this monster hidden in my body, and pass Fight more and vent its ferocity.

"This is the reason why I have to master a team of hundreds of people. Only in this way can I get enough resources and capital to bet against other powerful bloodhoofs-if I even have half a mixed soldier under my hand. If not, even if others are willing to compete with me, they will not be able to use a lot of resources as a bet.

"According to the practice of the'game of the brave' several times over the past hundreds of years, when the carnival in Pointe-Noire reached its peak, small-scale street fighting was not enough. There were hundreds or even thousands of servants under his command. The powerhouses often mobilize their own soldiers and horses to go to the open ground outside Pointe Noire to conduct larger-scale battles, exercises, and wars..."

"Practical exercises?"

Meng Chao thought of a suitable vocabulary.

"Yes, it's actual combat exercises to prepare for the next real war."

Ice Storm said, "On the day when the blood is the alliance, almost all families will pull their main force out of the city and conduct the largest actual combat exercise. While pleasing the ancestor spirits with blood, gunpowder and screams of killing, In the past half month, the famous powerhouses appeared gorgeously in front of all the bloodhoof people.

"Then, it is the sacrifice to the ancestor spirit, the signing of the covenant, the swearing ceremony, and the army marching.

"As long as I have enough servants under my command, when the actual combat exercise comes, I will be able to obtain a larger space for movement and move to the edge of the exercise range without knowing it.

"Then, while everyone's attention is concentrated in the middle of the exercise field, escape from this ghost place!"
