Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

After launching the Soul Coins Transaction Center, Lu Wu continued designing the game’s content again.

The number of players had reached 600,000 and the 100 fortresses he prepared within the Artifact Channel were completed.

Lu Wu decided to officially put them to use by establishing the first Guild Hegemony Tournament.

Regarding this, Lu Wu phoned An Manman to tell her about his thoughts.

After some discussion between the two, An Manman stated that the Shark Streaming Platform would launch the tournament’s preparation stage immediately and Lu Wu would be informed once everything was ready.

While An Manman kept herself busy preparing for the tournament, Lu Wu also started the tournament’s promotion.

After this update, the players discovered a new computer graphic when they went online. ????n????????e????d.＆nbsp;????????????

With the eerily stormy background music playing, the scene slowly unfolded.

The scene showed a brown, earthy desert and 100 mighty fortresses appeared vaguely amidst the sandstorm. The atmosphere was sorrowful and deserted. Then, an old voice could be heard,

“On this land burned by blood and flames, 100 fortresses that symbolized the highest strength and peak of power have once again received the opportunity to awaken…”

The scene then zoomed away. The fortresses became smaller from the players’ point of view and golden thrones appeared above each of these fortresses.

The old voice sounded again, “There is no real invincibility, no forever winner, and the last ruler had already left…”

Right then, black, blurry silhouettes appeared above every throne.

“Only the mightiest can take over the fortresses, rule the armies, and be crowned as the new hero!”

When the voice faded out, the scene transitioned between fortresses of different architectural styles, showing the structure of the fortresses to the players clearly.

“The Battle of the Hundred Fortress City… Who will dictate the living and the dead in this world!?”

Numerous shadows of soldiers appeared instantly. With their battling voices trembling the sky, they charged boldly toward the fortresses that represented the peak of power.

“We were born to achieve and succeed, only with mass murdering on the battlefield with nine million kills can one be the hero of the heroes! Will this supreme throne belong to you?”

The old voice disappeared with flags of different colors waving on each fortress, echoing greatly in the sandstorm.

[The First Annual Hundred Fortresses Hegemony Tournament]:

Tournament requirements: This activity will be held for six hours. Registration must be done in units of guilds with the guild having 300 or more members.

Tournament rules:

This tournament will be adapting the Fortress Obtaining Rule. Every registered guild will be transported to the Hundred Fortresses Hegemony Tournament map after the activity starts. After ten minutes of safety protection, guild players can choose from a hundred different fortresses to challenge. (Note: every fortress has 5 million blood bars for sustainability) After taking over the fortress and the fortress flag, the guild will be the owner of the fortress and receive other guild’s attacks.

The venue of the livestream is set at Dragon Metropolis Sports Center and the tournament onlooker tickets can be bought from their website. You can also watch the real time tournament streaming and commentating on the Shark Streaming Platform!

This announcement evoked an uproar among the players.

The sudden existence of the Hundred Fortresses Hegemony Tournament had every big guild caught off guard. Most of them spontaneously assembled meetings and were immensely accepting new members at the same time.

Many guilds had lowered the threshold for guild entrance for this tournament in order to create history in this momentous battle.

During the players’ preparation period, the health potion had become the bestseller in the game shop and it was manufactured nonstop for sale.

However, the impact of this activity was way more than just these. All the guild players were hungry for the big reward, they were clear as to what it meant to win this tournament.

Even by just the bonus for level-training experience they could see how their own guild could overtake other guilds in no time.

Moreover, they could obtain the priority of purchasing the Guild Station for their guilds. This tournament meant everything to those big guilds.

The price of in-game resources had risen greatly due to this as well. The sales of one-time items in the game shop had allowed Lu Wu to earn a fortune.

But what astonished the players was that Battle Online was collaborating with the Shark Streaming Platform for the livestream of this tournament.

Many players understood that the Shark Streaming Platform had an enormous live-streaming audience, meaning that this tournament was a match anticipated by players on a national level.

Therefore, the methods of showing off their respective guilds in the tournament had also become a hot topic amongst players.

Of course, there were many solo players who couldn’t participate in this activity, so they logged on to the Shark Streaming Platform directly to buy on-site tickets at the Dragon Metropolis Sports Center as support for the first ever tournament of Battle Online.

There were even players who posted analysis and predictions in the forum to dissect the strongest guilds at the current stage and predict the winning possibilities of the guilds.

There were also guilds which were too weak to take down a fortress by themselves merging with other guilds to take down the fortress together. Only after the tournament would they decide on who would be the owner of that fortress.

The ones that were planning ahead for this were not only small guilds, some big guilds were even luring the small ones by giving them benefits, hoping they would become a part of their alliance during The Hundred Fortresses Hegemony Tournament and help them defend their fortresses.

The actual battlefield would not be as easy as they thought it would be. Every player was enthusiastically preparing for the forthcoming war on the battlefield!
