Ark of the Immortal

This can be regarded as creating income for Minos.

The priests have already been prepared near the altar of the Temple of Heroes.

Everyone was dressed in the most solemn sacrificial robes and washed clean, just to welcome this day.

Pallas is no exception, but as the high priest of the Akroti village, she has to maintain order at the heroes' resting place on the Akroti side.

Seeing the undead and Rhode Island's group approaching, Pallas quickly pulled them over.

It's almost too late. Hurry up and sit down. I'll explain it when everyone is gathered!

The immortal, Melanza, and Fen found a seat and sat down.

The surrounding soldiers also greeted the three, and the three responded one by one.

By the time the last two warriors arrived, the area around the Temple of Heroes was already surrounded and they could no longer walk.

Pallas glanced at the Temple of Heroes and seemed to have received some confirmation, so he turned his head and cleared his throat.

Everyone should have had a rest in the past two or three days. I will tell you first about the process of the game.

The immortal competition is divided into three stages. The first stage is a team competition, the second stage is an individual competition, and the third stage, which will not be announced for the time being, is a simulated trial venue based on the sacred objects enshrined in the temple.

So, the competition in the first two days is the team competition.

Until this sentence, although there was some commotion, the soldiers still held back and did not say much.

Pallas looked around at the warriors. She knew that these future heroes were not used to fighting with others.

she continued.

However, the team competition is not conducted as a village. Instead, everyone shuffles the order, reorders, and fights in groups of five.

As soon as Pallas finished speaking, the soldiers could not sit still.

This is not to question the decision of the Temple of Heroes, but what they are most uncomfortable with is the team competition.

And he was still fighting with unfamiliar strangers.

Pallas looked at the whispering warriors, everyone's face was a little ugly.

Only Melanza, the undead man and Fen's expressions remained unchanged.

The undead are because they can't see their faces, while Melanza and Fen have learned to cooperate a long time ago.

The Temple of Heroes naturally made this decision based on their considerations.

Even the undead can roughly guess it.

The priests wanted to use this immortal competition to lay the foundation for future cooperation between the heroes of Minos.

354.Team battle

Team competition, as the name suggests, means that soldiers no longer participate in battles as individuals, but form teams and fight as a team.

This was an attempt by the priests to prepare for the future Minoan struggle, and it was also a hint to the Minoan life.

We should unite as one, and individual bravery is certainly worthy of praise. But only by uniting can we have greater power.

This was definitely a very trendy thinking for Minos, who always advocated personal power, but it was also a hurdle that Minos had to overcome.

It must be said that, except for Pallas's idol plan, which sounded unreliable, the priests were indeed sincerely thinking about Minos.

If you want these heroes to be willing to put aside the mood of competition and fight together, it is natural to make them understand their personal shortcomings.

However, this time the team competition did not seem to completely let go of the display of personal strength.

Of course, in the five-person competition, as long as one person can stand at the end, the team will win.

Pallas said this, he glanced at the undead subconsciously, and then cleared his throat.

In other words, although it is a five-person team battle, the final result may still be led to victory by a brave warrior.

In this way, that is to say, on the basis of team combat, the individual performance of the warriors is not blocked.

But only members like Melanza and Fen know. If this is the rule, then the more team spirit a team has, the easier it will be to win.

After all, if only one person can win, it depends on how many people in the team are willing to be the backbone of the team members.

Maybe five people can't make it to the end together. But if the other four contribute to one's breakthrough, there's a greater chance of preserving the win.

That is, although it seems to encourage individual strength to lead the entire team. In fact, no one can really resist five people attacking at the same time.

The final result must still be based on teamwork.

However, this seemingly false rule of personal heroism still excited the soldiers present.

The warriors of Minos themselves were not good at team fighting. If such rules were released, even if someone lost.

It can also make them realize where the real gap lies.

Minoan warriors were not afraid of failure, but they were sure to let failure bring them something.

However, in such a battle, some people are exceptions.

These people may have the ability to fight one against five, or even be able to defeat the game by themselves, and not just one person.

For example, among the immortals present, there was also Shirter, who could instantly kill his opponent using only Originium skills or spells.

In the competition in Akroti Village, Shirter's combat power was obviously much higher than the average, and no one had ever seen the undead take action. They only knew that he was a guest at the Akroti Warriors Conference.

In this way, no one knows how terrifying the strength of the undead has reached.

However, no one seems to care about the state of the undead.

Instead, there were many warriors eagerly looking at the undead, and the air was filled with a lot of fighting spirit.

Even the most famous warriors will have a strong intention to fight. This is the mental state that the priests of Minos have cultivated for a long time.

The undead man was a little surprised, but it also ignited a desire to fight in him.

If it was a battle like this, he might be able to enjoy a pure battle for the first time in a long time.

Okay, now that everyone understands and there are no objections, let's adjust ourselves. After the opening ceremony, we will group them.

Pallas saw that no one objected, so she clapped her hands.

After the grouping ends, everyone will meet with their teammates in a fixed area. Then you will have half an hour to get familiar with each other, and then the game will start.

...

The so-called opening ceremony actually involves lighting the flame located in the Temple of Heroes, then using firewood to take out the flame and place it in the royal vessels surrounding the entire altar.

It's just a symbol of inheriting the heroic spirit.

While watching the opening ceremony, Pallas quietly came to the side of the undead and whispered to him.

It is said that during Sargon's occupation, the twelve heroes each belonged to different fields. Some of them were just ordinary people, and some were just soldiers on the border. But they all awakened their will at a certain moment and understood the meaning of one’s own existence.”

Then they persisted in their ideals and worked together to drive out Sargon's invaders.

Because of the existence of sacred objects, we have always been accustomed to compare this spirit to a flame, and it is really warm.

It's like passing on a hero's last wish and opening the way to the future, isn't it?

Which is a coincidence, because it wasn't just in Minoan.

Great Flame, Iberia, these countries seem to support their spirits with items related to fire.

Whether it is the so-called holy fire of Minos, the true fire of Great Flame, or even the fire of judgment in Iberia.

They all use flames to support the most critical logic of this country.

The undead man also noticed this, and he increasingly believed that the birth of these countries might be inextricably related to himself and the fire girl.

Therefore, he will definitely win this game.

Become the hero you are destined to be.

I'm very curious about how much the team competition will change because of your participation.

Pallas sighed, she could already imagine the undead's teammates being wiped out. But he stood in the middle of the court, facing pressure from many sides, and managed to break through the game alone.

However, she also has full confidence in her country's warriors.

But, I believe that this game will be very exciting.

While the two were talking, the torch relay was completed.

The priests threw the last lit firewood in their hands into the royal vessel, and then returned to the top of the altar near the Temple of Heroes.

Among the priests, a tall old man walked out slowly. He was wearing a gray-black gilt robe, with a solemn figure and a scepter decorated with flowing flames in his hand.

With his gray beard and all-white hair neatly tied together, he came to the front of the altar. Facing the tens of thousands of people in the square and the heroes who looked at him from various lounges, he raised his hand. He raised the scepter in his hand.

The holy fire has been lit, and the god lowered his head to listen to our roar.

The old man's arms were very thick and his height reached an astonishing two meters.

His eyes were as bright as lightning, and he didn't look old at all.

Warriors, offer your skills, burn your fighting spirit, dance with the heroic spirits, and offer a wonderful fight to the gods!

The old man's voice was also very loud, and the undead man vaguely saw in him the appearance of Gwen, the former King of Wuxin.

He also looks noble, but he is a warrior who has experienced battles in terms of body and mental will.

Even Onstein lowered his eyes. They were indeed similar, but there were still some differences after all.

Fight, fight! Only fighting can make us feel the meaning of life. This is a gift given to us by God. It is to allow us to continue to strengthen ourselves and think about why we fight without having to face death!

The old man standing on the high platform waved his arms. His body was like a rock, his eyes were like lightning, and his passionate speech aroused everyone's emotions.

In the lounge near the altar, many people had different reactions.

Blood Thorn lowered his head and looked at the two daggers at his waist, clenching his hands into fists.

The purple-haired kitten clenched the straight knife at his waist, as if to draw strength from it.

Kuranta, who was wearing armor, lightly tapped the shield in his left hand with his fingertips, his eyes as firm as the rising sun.

The deep sea hunter just held the big sword in his hand without any emotion.

Instead, it was Shirter. The Levantine in her hand seemed to hear something, and it trembled slightly in Shirter's hand.

Shirter calmly held Lewontin in his hand to calm it down.

Even if Lewontin has his own thoughts and emotions. But it is also a sword after all. As long as it is a sword, it will be eager to fight.

But no matter what the reactions of these heroes were, they were not of concern to the old man on the high platform.

He seemed to be transported back in time to a time when Minos had prospered.

Warriors all over the world regard Minos as a paradise for warriors, where they fight, dance and sing.

Enjoy the wine together and sing the victory together.

No matter the past, present, or future. Only the blood of warriors is shed here, and even time cannot stop the footsteps of heroic souls!

He just raised his hands and shouted with his passion for fighting.

Therefore, warriors, go to the arena of the ancient gods. It is a road woven with blood and wine, step on the ashes of kings, and use your unparalleled fighting skills to win the honor that belongs to you!

As the speech ended, the soldiers couldn't help but get excited and raised their arms and shouted.

The emotions of the people in the square were aroused, looking forward to this grand Minoan battle celebration.

But just when everyone's emotions were aroused, Pallas told the immortal with a solemn expression.

It is very likely that heroic spirits will participate in this battle celebration.

Heroic Spirit?

When the immortal heard this word, he thought a lot.

The undead who fought with him, and the warriors who fought alongside him.

And Pallas also clearly responded to the immortal and what a heroic spirit is.

There have been obvious changes in the sacred objects over the past few decades. Many priests responsible for taking care of the sacred objects said that they sometimes saw scenes of warriors fighting near the sacred objects.

After conducting a several-month investigation, the high priest finally determined that there were heroic spirits in the sacred object, and then chose to seal off the location of the sacred object, temporarily not allowing any priests to approach it.

This immortal competition is also an outlet prepared for those heroic spirits.

Pallas said this to the undead, of course not because she had a good impression of the undead.
