This is the arena for the Holy Judgment Ceremony.
Standing on the high platform, looking at the arena in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. From the outside, this arena is similar to the demiplane where Fang Zheng used to play the ladder in the White Tower. It's just that the area is larger. The arena in front of him looks similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum, but there is no audience seat. At the same time, the area is as large as three football fields. Because it is a demiplane space, everyone does not need to have fixed seats like in the real world, but can carefully observe every battle through the projection on the screen in front of them.
If I were to say it, it would be...
"I never thought that I could actually see real-life e-sports and live broadcasts in another world..."
Looking at the big screen in front of him, Fang Zheng was also amazed. The technology of this alien world... No, the magic tree was too wrong. The Industrial Revolution hasn't even ended yet, but we have already entered the Information Age?
However, these are just minor details.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng straightened his clothes and stepped onto the stone slab in front of him. After Fang Zheng stepped onto the stone slab, the stone slab floating in the air took him forward and soon arrived at the ritual altar in the center of the arena. At the same time, representatives from the four countries, including Astor and Bishop Karl, had also arrived.
"I will announce the rules next."
Bishop Karl glanced at the four people and then spoke.
"Everyone, are your warriors ready?"
"Of course I am ready."
Lieutenant General John raised his head and answered confidently, and Fang Zheng nodded.
"My lovely children can't wait."
"very good."
After hearing the two people's answers, Bishop Karl took out a coin and placed it on the table.
"Please guess heads or tails."
"front."
This time, it was Lieutenant General John who made the first choice. He then looked at Fang Zheng provocatively, but Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said nothing. Since Lieutenant General John chose the front side, then he must have chosen the back side.
Since the heads and tails had been decided, Bishop Karl threw the coin without hesitation. The coin spun in the air and landed on the platform in front of everyone.
“It’s positive.”
Bishop Karl glanced at the coin and said calmly, then he nodded to Lieutenant General John.
"It's time to start choosing a venue."
For the sake of fairness, all the rules of the Holy Judgment Ceremony are based on the venue. After the venue is selected, the terrain in the arena will also change accordingly, and the rules will also change according to the venue. If the terrain is a city, then it will be a siege. If it is a plain, it is likely to be a war of attrition. Just like the maps of many competitive games, each map has different goals, and only those who achieve the goal first can win.
As Bishop Karl spoke, a roulette wheel appeared out of thin air in front of Lieutenant General John, and then the pointer on it began to spin rapidly. Lieutenant General John stared at the spinning pointer intently, and then suddenly shouted.
"stop!"
At this moment, the spinning pointer suddenly stopped and pointed to a green square with a tree pattern. The roulette wheel also slowly disappeared at this moment. There was a loud "boom" and the originally empty arena instantly turned into a lush valley full of trees. There were dense forests on both sides of it and a hill in the middle. On the top of the hill, there was a flag swaying in the wind.
Then, a voice without any emotion sounded.
"Flag capture battle, time limit 30 minutes. The first person to reach the flag location and guard it for one minute will win. Failure to capture the flag will be considered a failure. The annihilation of one side will be considered a failure. After the time limit is over, the side with fewer people will be considered a failure. If the number of people is equal, the side closest to the flag will be considered the winner. The game will begin in five minutes!"
"this……"
Seeing this map, except for Fang Zheng, everyone else's expressions changed slightly. Although the rules of this map were very clear, the problem was the map itself!
In this "map", the "birthplaces" of both sides are at the left and right lower corners of the map, and the flag is located at the center of the map. There is only one bridge that runs straight through the entire map and connects to the hill where the flag is located. There are only two roads from the birthplace to the bridge, one of which is relatively flat and closer to the bridge, but also more dangerous. The other road is farther away, and it can bypass the bridge and then find another trail from the back of the hill.
But no matter which road you take, it will intersect with the opposite road. That is to say, if the speeds of both sides are almost the same, then when they reach the target location, the battle will break out between the two sides.
If one of the parties is fast enough, they can set up an ambush at the intersection in advance and wait for the enemy to attack.
But no matter what, this kind of terrain requires not only talent and strength, but also a test of experience.
The people sent by the Fire Nation and the Wealth Nation must be elites, and there must be no problems with their strength and experience. But on Fang Zheng's side...are those children really okay?
"Let's get started."
However, under the gaze of the crowd, Fang Zheng's expression did not change at all. He just replied calmly and then left the platform again. Bishop Karl and Douglas looked at each other and also turned around and left silently. Only Lieutenant General John and the fat representative were still standing on the platform.
"Pretend to be calm."
Looking at Fang Zheng's back, the fat representative chuckled.
"It seems that we are sure to win this time, Lieutenant General John."
“It’s best not to talk about victory before you win it.”
Lieutenant General John glanced at the fat pig beside him.
"I don't want to become a laughing stock again. Just once is enough... This time, we absolutely cannot afford to fail."
"Don't worry, Lieutenant General John."
The fat representative patted his belly proudly.
"We will definitely win. We gave them all the support we had, and those guys are strong and experienced fighters. It's no problem for them to deal with a group of little girls. I just hope they don't underestimate us or show sympathy just because they are facing a group of little girls. Other than that, I don't see any possibility of us losing."
"It's better to be cautious."
Hearing this, Lieutenant General John couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Declaring victory before a battle is a big taboo. That young man is not as simple as you and I thought. Since he is so calm, it must be because he has enough confidence in those children. And... don't forget, Alfred was unable to defeat the girl with twin ponytails yesterday. This time... I don't want the same mistake to happen again."
After saying this, Lieutenant General John also turned and left, while the fat representative curled his lips and walked back to the platform with difficulty. Soon, everyone dispersed, and the next moment, the bell rang.
“Ding…ding…ding…”
The sound of the bell echoed in the canyon. At the same time, a white light flashed, and the next moment, five petite figures appeared on a circular platform deep in the dense forest.
"really……"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xia Shi nodded.
"It's just like what Brother Fangzheng told us..."
While talking to himself, Xia Shi turned his head and looked at his companions behind him.
"Then, let's follow Brother Fang Zheng's previous battle plan and start the action."
