[Transportation started. Players, please be ready!]

With the announcement, gamers who were well-prepared at the Mansion of the Dead turned into white lights and disappeared in their spots.

Meanwhile, at the central region of the Hundred Fortresses Hegemony Tournament’s map, white lights flashed and all the players were gathered there.

The hegemony tournament was held on a large scale as there were 881 guilds, with a total of 634,320 players participating in it.

At the current stage, other games would definitely encounter some server failures such as lagging and other similar problems if such a large number of players appeared on the same piece of map at the same time.

However, Battle Online was still performing well and did not let anyone down.

[Event Notice: The ten minute safety protection countdown starts now. During the safe time, gamers are not allowed to leave the central region and kill each other. Please get ready for the upcoming battle!]

After receiving the message, all the guild masters began to call for the members of their guilds and they quickly gathered together.

While Gu Yu, Liu Chai, Lu Zan and Wu Guoyi were waiting for the members to assemble, they opened the built-in map of the game to search for the location of the City of Beiqi.

In the map of the Hundred Fortresses Hegemony, the City of Beiqi was conspicuous as it was the only fortress that was located in the North of the map, whereas East, South, and West each had 33 fortresses.

As the safety countdown began, a white halo appeared on the ground. It gradually shrank as time passed.

When the white halo shrank until the center position, the game message reappeared.

[Safe time is over and the battle officially starts now. Warriors, let’s advance toward the peak of glory!]

“Roar!” the gamers growled excitedly.

At that moment, all the guilds began to run wildly in four directions.

The number of gamers who hit the North was the least. It was totally incomparable to the other three directions. It seemed that everyone who was watching the hegemony tournament clearly knew that the North was the place where all the warlords were vying for supremacy and battle was at its most intense.

To the North, there were 38 guilds in total. The Myth Guild, Demolition Officers, Slayer Alliance, Great Dragon Guild, Ground Shaking Guild, Avengers, and Association of the Guardian Angels were undoubtedly the seven strongest guilds while the other 31 guilds were drawn in before the tournament in order to help one of the guilds win the championship.

They were wary of another as they ran toward the City of Beiqi. However, none of them took the initiative to launch an attack.

“Brothers~ Speed up!”

Suddenly, Liu Chai shouted excitedly and a blue halo which was quickly expanding outward appeared at his feet.

[Sea of War]: By unlocking the ability, members of that faction will receive a five percent increase in speed and two healing points per second for a duration of ten minutes, covering the area within a 100 meter radius.

The forward speed of the entire guild increased as the blue aperture shrouded the members of the Demolition Guild, slowly increasing the distance between them and the other guilds.

“All members, drink the potion!” Gu Yu shouted on the live chat channel as well.

Upon hearing Gu Yu’s order, all the guild members retrieved the Speed Potion which they bought from the shop and chugged it down without hesitation.

All of a sudden the members of the Myth Guild sped up too and were moving forward faster than the Demolition Guild.

“Fucking rich!” Chen Ziyu who saw this was undoubtedly depressed. After all, his guild was the poorest compared to the other guilds.

……

After dashing for about ten minutes, the magnificent City of Beiqi appeared in the sight of the crowd. Gu Yu who first arrived at the City of Beiqi’s fortress gate immediately directed the members of the guild to launch a fierce attack.

After the initial attack, a line of health points numbering 4,942,381 was shown above the fortress gate.

Even though the fortress gate had nearly 5 million health points, it had no defense value. All the damage bore it was real damage. Under the attack of the Myth Guild, the health bar began to drop rapidly.

At this time, the members of the Demolition Guild had also arrived.

Liu Chai immediately roared with rage, “Crash into the place and clear them out!”

Along with Liu Chai’s roaring and under the leadership of dozens of Rune Masters, the berserkers in the front row rammed violently into the Myth Guild’s defensive line that was ready in battle array.

“Boom!”

A war broke out instantly.

The Demolition Guild and Myth Guild had been old adversaries. Thus, encountering each other made their eyes blaze with hatred and they quickly broke into a fight.

“Hold on for another five minutes and we will be able to seize the city! Dog, heal the members!” Gu Yu shouted in rage.

Upon hearing Gu Yu’s order, Sun Qi leaped from the ground. With his body floating in the air, he began to sprinkle green light of healing.

Suddenly, an arrow appeared from the front and struck Sun Qi.

The blow immediately interrupted Sun Qi’s skills. As he was falling, another flaming arrow flew from the distance and hit Sun Qi again.

The power of Annihilation burst out in an instant, killing Sun Qi in the air within seconds. He then turned into a beam of white light and was returned to the central safe point.

“Nice one!” Wu Guoyi shouted excitedly. He then patted the guild member next to him who was retrieving his longbow.

The person who shot the two precise arrows was a player named Li Lin. He had won third place in the Archery Inheritance Trial. Apparently, he was not Ye Chen who mastered the Predestined Archery.

Since the Myth Guild had seized the opportunity in capturing the city and had formed a defensive barrier in front of the fortress gate, the Myth Guild was now their common enemy.

“Brothers, let’s secure the fortress gate to help the Myth Guild get into the city!”

Six guilds who were in the siege team suddenly changed their formations. They collectively turned and attacked the players behind them, sharing the direct pressure with the Myth Guild.

The scale of the battle gradually expanded as the number of players involved increased. The area in front of fortress gate was in chaos. Spells and skills were flying all over the place and gamers were constantly on the brink of death. They were killed even before they managed to drink potions and were sent back to the safe area as a beam of white light.

Liu Chai said, “Brothers who are at the safe area, quickly come to support after being resurrected. As for the others, let’s gather around and make our way through. We will definitely seize the City of Beiqi!”

Upon hearing Liu Chai’s roar, the Demolition Guild began to search for their own members in the chaos with great efficiency. They quickly assembled and charged forward again.

Such a large scale clash broke out at the beginning of the Hundred Fortresses Hegemony Tournament. The viewers who were watching the live broadcast off-site were filled with satisfaction. Everyone’s eyes were staring at the screen, waiting for the fall of the gate!
