This is the arena of the Rite of Holy Judgment.
Standing on the high platform and looking at the arena in front of him, Fangzheng could not help but sigh. From the looks of it, this arena was similar to the half plane that Fangzheng had climbed the stairway to heaven in the White Tower. But the area was much larger. The arena in front of him looked similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum, but there were no spectator seats. The area was the size of three football fields. Because it was a demiplane, the spectators did not need to have fixed seats like in the real world. They could carefully observe every battle through the projection in front of them.
If Fangzheng had to put it this way, it would be ….
"I didn't expect to see a live version of eSports and broadcasting in this world …."
Looking at the big screen in front of him, Fangzheng was amazed. The technology of this world …. No, the magic tree was too crooked. The industrial revolution was not over yet, and they had already entered the information age?
But these were just minor details.
Thinking of this, Fangzheng tidied up his clothes and stepped on the stone slab in front of him. After Fangzheng stepped on the stone slab, the flat stone slab floating in the air carried him forward. Soon, he arrived at the ritual altar in the center of the arena. At the same time, the representatives of the four countries, including Yast and Bishop Karl, had arrived.
"Next, I will announce the rules."
Bishop Karl glanced at the four of them and said.
"Everyone, are your warriors ready?"
"Of course they are."
Lieutenant General John raised his head and answered confidently. Fangzheng also nodded.
"My lovely children can't wait any longer."
"Very good."
Hearing their answers, Bishop Karl took out a coin and placed it on the table.
"Please guess heads and tails."
"Heads."
This time, Lieutenant General John was the first to make the choice. He gave Fangzheng a provocative look, but Fangzheng just shrugged and did not say anything. Since Lieutenant General Hardedef chose heads, then he would definitely choose tails.
Since he had decided to guess yes or no, Bishop Karl did not hesitate to throw the coin. The coin spun in the air and then landed on the platform in front of everyone.
"It's the front."
Bishop Karl glanced at the coin and said calmly. Then, he nodded to Lieutenant General John.
"You can start choosing the venue."
For the sake of fairness, all the rules of the Sacred Judgement Ritual were set according to the venue. After choosing the venue, the terrain of the arena would change accordingly. At the same time, the rules would also change according to the venue. If the terrain was a city, then it would be a siege. On the other hand, if they were fighting on flat plains, it would most likely be a war of attrition. Just like the maps in many competitive games, each map had a different goal, and only those who reached the goal first would be able to win.
As Bishop Karl spoke, a roulette appeared in front of Lieutenant General John out of thin air, and then the needle began to spin rapidly. Lieutenant General John stared at the rapidly spinning needle and yelled abruptly.
"Stop!"
At that moment, the spinning needle suddenly stopped and pointed at a green square with a pattern of trees. The roulette also slowly disappeared at this moment. With a loud bang, the originally empty arena instantly turned into a verdant canyon filled with trees. On both sides of the canyon were dense forests, and in the middle was a small mountain. At the top of the small mountain, there was a flag that swayed in the wind.
Then, an emotionless voice sounded.
"Capture the flag battle. The time limit is 30 minutes. Get to the location of the flag first and guard it for one minute to win. Failure to capture the flag will be considered a failure. If one side is completely wiped out, it will be considered a failure. After the time limit is up, 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 match begins in five minutes! "
"This … …"
Upon seeing the map, apart from Fangzheng, everyone's expressions changed slightly. Although the map's rules were already very clear, it was still a different story. The rules of this map were already very clear, but the problem was the map itself!
In this "map", the "birthplaces" of both sides were located at the lower left and right corners of the map, while the location of the flag was located at the apex of the map. There was only one bridge that ran straight through the entire map, connecting to the hill where the flag was located. There were only two paths from the birthplace to the bridge. One of them was relatively smooth and closer to the bridge, but it was also more dangerous. The other path was longer. It could bypass the bridge and find another path from the back of the hill.
But no matter which path it was, it would intersect with the path on the opposite side. In other words, if the speed of the two sides was almost the same, then when they reached the target location, a battle would break out between the two sides.
If one of the sides was fast enough, they could set up an ambush at the intersection in advance and wait for the other side.
But in any case, this kind of terrain required not only talent and strength, but also experience.
The people sent by the Country of Fire and the Country of Wealth would definitely be elites. There would definitely be no problems in terms of strength and experience. But on Fangzheng's side ….. Would the children really be fine?
"Get ready to start."
But under everyone's gaze, Fangzheng's expression did not change in the slightest. He just replied indifferently, then left the high platform again. Bishop Karl and Douglas looked at each other, then turned around and left silently. Only Lieutenant General John and the fat representative were left standing on the high platform.
"Pretending to be calm."
Looking at Fangzheng's back, the fat representative chuckled.
"Looks like we're going to win this time, Lieutenant General John."
"It's best not to talk about victory before you get it."
Lieutenant General John glanced at the fat pig beside him.
"I don't want to become a laughing stock again. Just one time is enough …. This time, we absolutely can't afford to fail."
"Don't worry, Lieutenant General John."
The fat representative patted his belly proudly.
"We'll definitely win. We've given them all the support we have. Those boys are strong and experienced warriors. It won't be a problem for them to deal with a bunch of little girls. I just hope that they won't underestimate or sympathize with us just because our opponents are a bunch of little girls. Other than that, I don't see any possibility of us losing. "
"It's better to be cautious."
The corners of Lieutenant General John's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Declaring victory before a battle is a big taboo. That young man isn't as simple as you and I think. Since he's so calm, it must be because he has enough confidence in those children. And … .don't forget, it was Alfred who couldn't defeat that twintailed girl yesterday. This time …. I don't want the same mistake to happen again. "
After saying that, Lieutenant General John turned around and left. The fat representative pursed his lips and struggled to walk back to the platform. Soon, everyone dispersed in all directions. The next moment, the bell rang.
"Clang … Clang … Clang …"
The bell echoed in the canyon. At the same time, a white light flashed. The next moment, five petite figures appeared on a circular platform in the depths of a dense forest.
"As expected …."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xia Shi nodded.
"It's exactly what Brother Fangzheng told us …."
While muttering to himself, Xia Shi turned around and looked at his companions behind him.
