Meng Chao was stunned for a long time and then said: "You mean, cruel fighting can happen anytime and anywhere?"

"That's right. The more people and lively places there are on the streets, in taverns, and casinos, the more likely it is that there will be fights."

Ice Storm explained, "The process and rules of the gladiatorial battle have been greatly simplified. A clan warrior is walking on the road struttingly. When he sees a member of a rival family, an enemy with a grudge, or just sees that the warrior on the opposite side is ugly, he can issue

Generally speaking, the opponent will never and cannot refuse an invitation to a gladiatorial battle. Anyone who refuses such an invitation will be ridiculed by everyone and will never be able to command troops and seize valuable trophies in the next war.

.

"Similarly, they can also continue to increase their bets in full view of the public - resources, armor, and even the affiliations of both parties can all be gambled. For example, two clan warriors each have a team of a hundred servants.

, they engage in a gladiatorial battle, and after the winner is decided, the winner will have the right to command the loser's team, and the loser will become the winner's lieutenant, obeying the winner's orders in the war, which is roughly what it means.

"Of course, it's okay to play dirty tricks and sap, but if you don't fight openly and openly in front of everyone, you won't be able to gain the other party's submission and promote your reputation.

"As for casualties, there will definitely be some. Although high-level orcs are thick-skinned and beaten to death in gladiatorial fights, it does not happen often. But if it does happen, it is not a big deal. They are just responding to the call of the ancestors.

"According to the tradition of the Turan people, this kind of unrestricted gladiatorial battle is called the 'Game of the Brave.' But in my opinion, it is more like the last madness before making an alliance with blood. It is a battle that will last for a long time.

The half-month carnival is also a time to offer the most generous sacrifices to the ancestral spirits before going to war, using blood and death as sacrifices, hoping that the ancestral spirits will bestow good luck to the entire clan."

Meng Chao was speechless when he heard this.

Gained a deeper understanding of the martial prowess of high-level orcs.

"Every time the Era of Glory begins, will there be a 'Game of the Brave'?" he asked.

"That's not true. If the two eras of glory are close enough, the heroes of the last war have not yet fallen, and they can rely on their prestige to effectively control 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 a powerful person with absolute dominance emerges, then there is no need to play the 'Game of the Brave' under the orders of the powerful person.

"But like this situation, the heroes of the past have fallen one after another, and the major families have been recharging their strength and expanding crazily in the long era of prosperity, and countless arrogant and proud generals have emerged. Then we must pass

A 'brave man's game' will convince them, which will be more conducive to the subsequent combat command - this is what thousands of years of war experience tells us."

"so……"

Meng Chao still couldn't believe it, "The people who died in 'Game of the Brave'... died in vain?"

"If you die in 'Game of the Brave', it means the deceased was not strong enough."

Ice Storm said of course, "Since you are 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 Black Corner City than to lead thousands of troops and die on the battlefield. While killing himself, he also killed countless subordinates and comrades, leading to the collapse of the battle line and the defeat of the war.

,right?"

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

Meng Chao was still more concerned about this issue, "Can the winner snatch the loser's totem armor at will?"

"Theoretically, it's possible, as long as the winner has the confidence to eat the loser's totem armor."

Ice Storm said, "In practice, there is a limit to the amount of totem armor that each totem warrior can absorb - this is easy to understand. A warrior wearing one layer of armor is definitely more powerful than a warrior without armor, but wearing ten

A warrior with one layer of heavy armor may not be more powerful than a warrior with two or three layers of heavy armor, because the former may have been crushed to death by ten layers of heavy armor. Even if he was not crushed to death, he probably wouldn't be able to walk. You understand me.

What do you mean?"

"clear."

Meng Chao nodded, "Too much is not enough, any power is a double-edged sword."

The same is true for the cultivation system of Dragon City Civilization.

The higher the realm, the better.

The higher the realm, the more spiritual energy will flow into the brain and stimulate the brain. People will hear more chaotic sounds, see more weird pictures, and will be more susceptible to the influence of the "Ancient Call".

As for being possessed, he became a deformed and twisted monster.

The first person Meng Chao knew who was at the peak of the Heaven Realm, "Soul-Breaking Knife" Luo Wu, according to him, had actually already had the strength to reach the Divine Realm, but he had not dared to take this step because he was worried about the Divine Realm.

The backlash of power.

However, the former top master of Dragon City, "Martial God" Lei Zongchao, in his twilight years as a martyr, can only huddle in the "Martial God Temple" that is isolated from spiritual magnetic interference. His flesh and blood body is in a state of entanglement between life and death.

It is also a manifestation of this backlash.

The totem armor only expresses this backlash in a more concrete way.

"The winner usually does not deprive the loser of the full set of totem armor, but only symbolically takes away a little bit, and makes the loser swear to the ancestral spirit in full view of the public that he will obey the winner's orders throughout the Era of Glory. In this way

, the winner can be regarded as indirectly possessing all the combat power of the loser."

Ice Storm further explained, "Of course, many clan warriors from humble backgrounds are far from reaching the upper limit of their totem armor before the start of 'Game of the Brave', so they will often be more ruthless in their attacks, regardless of Sanqi

Twenty-one, first capture enough armor fragments.

"And such people are the most likely to be backlashed by the evil spirits contained in the fragments of the armor and transform into 'Origin Warriors'.

"But no matter how the totem armor is circulated, it will actually be a loss to the entire Bloodhoof clan.

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

Becoming more and more powerful.

"So, every time the 'Game of the Brave' gets more intense, the casualties of the major families seem to be more severe. In fact, they have obtained a large number of warriors with practical combat experience and more powerful totem armors. They will definitely be able to fight in the battle."

In a real war, more terrifying combat power breaks out."

"I understand, it's like a rusty war machine that requires a lot of blood and internal lubrication before it can start rumbling and... run to the limit in the shortest time."

Meng Chao murmured, "Does everyone want to 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 cannot break into the Blood Skull Arena and die, right?"

Ice Storm said, "However, if you do this, you won't be able to promote your bravery. Instead, you will be ridiculed as a coward who only dares to fight 'properly' on the arena. Even the servants under your command will become alienated.

Thinking that he has followed a cowardly master.

"What's more, each major family will allocate troops, resources and combat tasks based on the results in the next half month. Those guys who have gained nothing in the 'Game of the Brave' will be sent to defend the city or transport troops. Only the real

Only the brave ones can enjoy the glory of conquering a city and destroying it - and glory is everything for the Turan warriors."

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

"Yes, I will definitely participate."

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

"I have only one purpose, and that is to get more totem armor fragments.

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

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

"Even if, even if I become an 'Origin Warrior' tomorrow, I will devour more totem armor fragments today!

"If I want to stabilize the power of the totem in my body and reduce the probability of becoming an 'origin warrior', I must swallow a large amount of golden fruits, totem beast flesh and core at the same time, feed the monster contained in my body, and pass through

More fights to vent its ferocity.

"This is why I must control a team of hundreds of people. Only in this way can I get enough resources and capital to compete with other Bloodhoof warriors - if I have even half a soldier under my command,

If I don't have any, even if others are willing to compete with me, they won't be able to use a lot of resources as a bet.

"According to the practice of several 'Games of the Brave' in the past hundreds of years, when the carnival in Noire City reached its peak, small-scale street fighting was no longer enjoyable enough, and there were hundreds or even thousands of servants under his command.

The strong men often mobilize their own troops and horses to the open areas outside Black Corner City to carry out larger-scale battles between weapons, drills and wars..."

"Practical exercise?"

Meng Chao thought of a suitable word.

"That's right, it's a practical exercise to prepare for the next real war."

Ice Storm said, "On the day of blood alliance, almost all families will pull their main forces outside the city to conduct the largest actual combat exercise, using blood, gunpowder smoke and shouts of death to please their ancestors.

It also allowed the powerful men who had become famous in the past half month to make a grand appearance in front of all the Bloodhoof clan members.

"Then, there are sacrifices to the ancestral spirits, signing of alliances, swearing-in ceremony, and the march of the army.

"As long as I have enough servants under my command, when it comes to actual combat exercises, I will be able to gain more space for movement and move to the edge of the exercise range without anyone noticing.
