Chapter 4: Arena

Chapter 4: Arena

[Online Forum: Area T09]

"In Arena No. 79, the armies of Lucas and He Rui have been matched up again. Anyone interested, go watch!"

"Those two again. I remember their legions just reached the elite level not long ago. They're considered the best among the novices in our district this year, right?"

"I've watched their legion battles several times before, and they always ended in a draw. I don't think there's much to watch."

"This time might be a little different. I heard He Rui participated in the conquest of a demi-plane last time, and a job transfer card that's very suitable for half-dragons dropped. It should have greatly improved their combat effectiveness."

"Oh? That's quite interesting, let's take a look..."

"Count me in!"

"+1..."

Watching the conversation on the forum, Ethan also became interested and quickly arrived at Arena No. 79.

At this moment, the arena was already packed with people, and the cheers of hundreds of thousands of spectators completely energized the atmosphere.

These spectators are certainly not gods, and the duel between the legions of two novice gods wouldn't attract the attention of so many gods.

In fact, the largest number of people in the entire Pantheon City are not gods, but rather followers of gods.

After all, whether it's a commercial area or a residential area, the operation of any area requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

As gods, they can't do everything themselves, nor is there a need to do so.

Many things can be directly handed over to the followers; they are fully capable of handling them.

Most civilizations under the gods also know of the existence of the Pantheon City, and they only need to meet certain standards to qualify to go to the Pantheon City.

This is also one of the reasons why Ethan didn't come to the City of Ten Thousand Gods too early. Here, countless followers of gods have gathered to form a diverse and special world.

Before the Winged People grow up, they will easily be affected by premature contact with the Pantheon City, which will be detrimental to the formation of their own cultural ideas and systems, and pose a hidden danger to the development of civilization.

A civilization without a "self" cannot go far.

This is what Ethan didn't want to see. The Cradle of Life was a divine domain he created with the help of the rules of the Land of Origin and by consuming part of his own origin, and the Winged People were the first intelligent race born in the divine domain.

In Ethan's heart, the status of the Winged People is already special, not to mention that they are also linked to the civilization achievement system. Only by maintaining independent development can they activate more civilization achievements.

At that moment, in the arena, the cheers of hundreds of thousands of spectators gradually subsided, and then two huge beams of light descended from the sky.

When the light beams disappeared, both armies appeared in the arena.

The arena in the Pantheon City is actually a type of virtual battle platform. The arena is not fixed, and each match is randomly generated.

In this competition between the Orc Legion and the Half-Dragon Legion, the randomly generated terrain is a plain.

Both sides are ground troops and can exert their full strength on flat terrain.

The area of the entire arena is not that large, and the Orc Legion and the Half-Dragon Legion are just some kind of virtual projections, so even if they die, it won't cause any damage to the original body.

Therefore, the two sides didn't make any attempts at the beginning and directly assumed the posture of fighting to the death, and soon collided with each other.

There are six levels of legions, divided into common, elite, guard, epic, legendary, and mythical, according to their comprehensive strength.

Both the Orc Legion and the Half-Dragon Legion are elite legions. It's already very good for a novice god to train such a legion.

The visual effect of tens of thousands of orcs and half-dragons fighting on the vast plains is shocking enough.

Both sides are races known for their strength and are very good at fighting. They also have many experiences of fighting each other, so it's hard to tell the winner for a while.

There are only two criteria for winning or losing in the arena: one is to completely eliminate the opponent, and the other is to defeat the opponent until they lose the will to fight.

Generally speaking, unless there are special circumstances, the fight will end with one side completely destroyed.

After all, there are gods behind each of these legions, and no legion wants to disappoint the gods. Mainly, real death won't occur in the arena.

Just as the battle between orcs and half-dragons reached a stalemate, extraordinary beings from both sides began to enter the battlefield.

Orc warriors and half-dragon warriors who were obviously larger than their peers joined the battlefield. These extraordinary individuals demonstrated powerful dominance on the battlefield.

They can tear the enemy to pieces with just a casual strike, and they don't react much when cut by swords. Ordinary cold weapons can no longer pose any threat to them.

After extraordinary individuals entered the battlefield, the situation on the entire battlefield was immediately affected, and independent battle circles began to form with the extraordinary individuals at the center.

What decided the final outcome of this competition were the caster teams on both sides.

The shaman on the Orc side can cast boiling blood and curses. The former can greatly increase the explosive power of the Orc warriors, while the latter can inflict various negative states on the opponent.

This tactic of gaining while the opponent loses is quite useful. As long as there are enough Shamans, we can rely on this tactic to directly decide the outcome.

However, the Orc Legion only has a little over a hundred shamans, and most of them are only first-level shamans, which is not enough to influence the entire battlefield situation.

Moreover, the caster team of the half-dragons is even more powerful.

More than 300 Dragon Vein Warlocks cast "Dragon Power" simultaneously, which directly eliminated the negative effects of the curse and also boosted the morale of the half-dragon army and lowered the morale of the orc army.

That's not all, the Dragon Vein Warlock can also cast different spells based on the characteristics of their own bloodline.

In an instant, the entire battlefield was engulfed in fireballs, strong winds, and lightning, leaving the orc army with no chance to fight back.

"No doubt about it. More than 300 Dragon Vein Warlocks are beyond the Orc Legion's ability to handle."

"He Rui's luck is very good. The job transfer cards that exploded can provide at least 200 half-dragons with job transfers. I just don't know if there are any more that he has hidden."

"Lucas's half-orc army barely meets the standard of an elite army, but He Rui's half-dragon army can be ranked in the lower-middle position among elite armies. The gap is too big."

As time passed, the battle gradually came to an end, until the last orc warrior was killed and the half-dragon army finally won.

No longer paying attention to the discussions on the Pantheon Forum, Ethan's figure gradually disappeared and left the Pantheon City.
