Chapter 632 7. Two or Three Things About the Draenor Champions Cup

Tyrion Dawnblade and his Darkblade Legion will not protect the Commonwealth forever...

This was something that the great lord personally told Chairman Edwin Van Cleef when the federation was established. In the thinking of the great lord, whether a civilization can survive for a long time or not, its ability to deal with wars by itself is a very important factor. standard line.

And now, all aspects of Dark Blade's system are beginning to be separated from the Federation, which means that perhaps in the near future, Dark Blade will no longer serve as the protector of the Federation's civilization... In the Federation system, some visionary Smart people realize this too.

The existence of the federation is still very short, it is a very young civilization, and the system in all aspects is still gradually maturing, but it cannot be ignored that although the federation has accepted many racial civilizations, the main body of this civilization is still the number that accounts for the total Two-thirds of the population are humans, and the empire across the endless sea is also dominated by humans.

The same race may oppose each other because of different civilization systems, but the connection in the blood determines that they will not fight to the death forever. The two civilizations will always be in contact, and the various thoughts brought about by the contact will continue to pull people together. Closer to the relationship between the two parties, this is what Tyrion hopes to see...two civilization systems that represent different development futures and compete with each other benignly.

But if the dark blade has always existed before the federation, then this kind of civilization contact will never be possible... The dark blade will "separate" from the federal system at a certain point, and at that time, the federation and the empire will truly Stand on the same position and talk on an equal footing.

Yes, Hesuo, the great arms dealer, has a very correct saying...

The dark blade's army does not exist to fight against the empire. The two are no longer opponents of the same level.

There is only one future opponent of the Empire... and that is the Federation! As for the dark blade, the dark blade will be in a higher position to watch this kind of competition and prevent the competition between the two sides from entering the stupid internal friction link. ", the dark blade father who has been watching the world will fall from the sky and beat up that naughty brat.

The Great Lord and Dark Blade have even more lofty ambitions. He will not focus on the empire that is struggling to catch up, and forget that the original intention of the Council of Kings was to supervise all civilizations in Azeroth...that is, The federal civilization will eventually be included in the ranks of the Forgotten Kings.

Once the civilization supported by Tyrion begins to degenerate, the Federation's "biological father" will also mercilessly attack the "son" awake.

But that's for the future... The Lord of Darkblade, who had always wanted to establish a new order in Azeroth, is now taking his "vacation".

Wait, why are you showing that look?

Could it be that the big devil can't take a vacation?

Although as an undead, Tyrion seldom feels mentally exhausted, and it is difficult to feel the pressure that will overwhelm him, but occasionally, he will want to put everything aside and let I spend a few days of leisurely vacation lazily, probably because what I come into contact with every day is always some conspiracy theories, which will make Tyrion, who is an undead, feel bored.

In short, at the turn of the spring and summer, the high lord finally started his first vacation trip after his death... He returned to Draenor, his real home, suspended in the shadow moon In the dark temple above the sea, after a night of tenderness with his wife, the great lord sat on the edge of the temple's roof, emptying everything in his mind, as if he had entered a state of meditation.

For the undead with weak emotions, this state is the most relaxing moment. Of course, this is also the moment closest to death, which can make Tyrion feel the tranquility from the bottom of his heart... He likes this kind of uneasiness. The tranquility of being disturbed, even though it is a mere waste of time.

But who can demand that he must make good use of every minute of his long and peaceful life? It may be a different kind of experience to waste time once in a while.

Of course, for the great lord, the quiet time is always short...

"Quick! Come and chase me~"

The screams of the children soon sounded outside the platform, on the shore of the distant Shadowmoon Sea. Tyrion, who has extremely powerful senses, can clearly hear the screams of his crazy girl, which means that The group of brats living in the dark temple started to make trouble again.

The roar of machinery sounded on the coast of the blue Shadowmoon Sea, and several "knights" galloped along the gentle road along the coast to the direction of the Dark Temple. The leader was Dornan wearing a blue helmet. A small steel locomotive specially made for children, with long white hair fluttering in the wind behind the helmet, probably because the speed is not fast enough, the genius shaman summoned a strong wind to push her to speed up.

The silly girl slammed the accelerator, while laughing out loud and heartless.

"Dornan, we agreed not to use magic! You cheated!"

And behind her, there are two children chasing each other and yelling. Taelia, who has developed a healthy wheat-colored skin during the gladiatorial training, simply does not wear a helmet and drives her black motorcycle all the way Running wildly, full of a sense of wild beauty, Vanessa, who was training as an assassin, grabbed the handle and followed closely behind on a white motorcycle.

Even Sarantia, a high elf girl who has always been withdrawn, joined the carnival of crazy kids, but this girl did not race with the three kids, on the contrary, she maintained the speed of the little motorcycle at a slow speed. Going forward, beside her is Anduin, who is wearing a golden helmet and driving clumsily. The two little ones are talking and laughing with each other.

In Tyrion's field of vision, these two children who are similar in size seem to be close to each other, like childhood sweethearts.

After a few minutes, the children were getting closer and closer to the Dark Temple, and as they approached the finish line, the proud silly girl Dornan finally paid the "price" for her cheating.

This is the first time for her to ride this cool "steel war horse". After accelerating several times with strong winds, her speed has entered a very crazy speed for beginners. , the handling of the motorcycle became very unstable, which was even worse for a novice like Dornan.

She tried her best to control the direction, but when she was going through a bend, she made a slight mistake, which directly caused her to fall towards the side of the road with both her and her car.

The quality of the locomotive made by the master craftsman Overspark is outstanding, and there is no damage under the beating. After all, it is for children to play, and the weight does not reach the terrifying level of 2 tons of the original version, but Dornan is still spinning. She was dizzy from being thrown down, but this child is a Draenei, and she has shown extremely good physical fitness since she was a child, and she is still wearing a helmet. Fortunately, she did not fall with a broken head .

"Aha! Looks like someone is going to bring me tea and water tomorrow!"

"Dornan, hahaha, your pocket money for next month is mine!"

When Dornan struggled to push the motorcycle back up, the two chasing companions had already sped away, and even made a mockery that made Dornan angry, but no matter how hard she tried to catch up, she still lost in the end. Lost this competition between children.

And the penalty for losing the game is...

Not only did she lose the best stand position in the "Champions Cup" competition, but she also lost her pocket money for the next month, which made Dornan shrug his head and tail all day long, with an unmotivated expression However, early the next morning, she returned to her previous heartless attitude, because today is definitely a happy day.

Today, Lord Darkblade, that is, her father, is going to take them to watch the most famous gladiatorial match in Draenor world!

Draenor "Champion Cup" Gladiator Competition... This name was established a few years ago. After the dark blade ruled the entire small world of Draenor, the environment and order of this world have undergone great changes, but Some traditions survived in this precarious environment.

Like... Gladiatorial!

Gladiatorial competitions have a long history in the world of Draenor. As early as the time when ogres ruled the world, these rough guys liked to capture slaves of other races and put them in their arena to perform bloody gladiatorial fights to please them. The nobles of the ogre empire, even after the ogre empire was almost destroyed by the orc attack, and the ogre left only a territory of the overhanging castle, they did not give up the custom of holding gladiatorial competitions.

After the rise of the orc civilization, the gladiatorial competition also changed its form, becoming another way for tribes to show off their strength besides war. Under the mountain, there are large-scale gladiatorial competitions. The orc gladiators regard victory as glory, and use this fierce way to express their respect for their ancestors and to maintain the martial style among the tribes.

There are many famous gladiators in the orc world...For example, Kargath, the chief of the Shattered Hand clan. He has been a gladiator champion for several years in the arena of the ogre, so that he can gather the huge prestige of the entire clan. Another example is the current Great Chief Orgrim. When the orcs invaded Azeroth, this guy passed the "Mak'Gora" gladiatorial ceremony, killed the War Chief Blackhand, and became the Great Chief.

In short, orcs love gladiatorial combat, and gladiatorial combat is even part of their civilization.

What's even more coincidental is that the Draenei exiles who fell into the world of Draenor 200 years ago also had records of gladiatorial fighting in their ancient culture. The Draenei people called it "Jed". Lin Ritual", the strong Draenei men don't wear armor, don't use weapons, and only fight with bare hands to show their bravery.

Before the fall of the distant world of Argus, every year on the day of the summer solstice, the Eredar would hold a grand gladiatorial contest to celebrate the big day of the year.

You see, in this small world, the three major civilized races all have the custom of fighting. It is hard to describe it as a coincidence. This is probably due to fate.

In short, in this case, even after being ruled by the Dark Blade, the gladiatorial competition still has not disappeared from this world. The "Champions Cup" event started in the Nagrand Grassland.

This is the grandest gladiatorial competition in Draenor. Warriors from all races in the world will gather here to fight for the honor of the king of gladiators. At the beginning, it was to make the living in Draenor Unity, but after a few years of development, this competition has become the biggest festival in the whole world every 2 years.

During the Champions Cup, the Dark Blade Legion will temporarily loosen control over the Nagrand Grassland until the end of the game and resume normal patrolling. That is to say, during the 15 days of the game, the entire Nagrand Grassland is absolutely free Yes, this game is really of great significance to the exiles trapped in Shattrath City.

This will remind them of the time when they were free... Although now, as long as they want to, as long as they submit to the Dark Blade system, they can live freely, but not everyone is willing to make such a choice.

And today's Champions Cup Gladiator Competition is special... because this year, more than 20 gladiator teams from Azeroth came to Nagrand to participate in the competition, most of them were mercenaries who licked their blood. They are coveting the reward of nearly one million gold coins that the gladiator king of the Champions Cup will get, and some guys sign up purely out of curiosity, wanting to see the scenery of another world.

Now, at the moment when the Champions Cup Gladiator Competition is about to kick off, Tyrion in casual clothes, escorted by several guards, led the jumping children along the flow of people and walked into the Nagrand Grassland. The central square, this huge and primitive arena, was specially built for the gladiatorial competition by the shamans of Throne of Elements who spent half a month.

As Tyrion and the children, it is naturally impossible to sit with unidentified civilians and exiles. They have their own boxes, right in front of the arena, on a large platform, where they can clearly overlook The whole venue, and there are several large platforms like this one, are prepared for the local and Azeroth big merchants and big slave owners who come to hear the news.

While the great lord and the children were seated, in the dim preparation room below the arena, a human man with short black hair and a few scars on his face was silently cleaning his fists , that fist was covered with ferocious blood, and on the ground behind this wolf-like man, were three dead tiger assassins.

Judging from the uneven chests of these guys, they should have been punched to break the sternum, or even... crushed the heart.

"Head, we're playing at No. 14..."

This silent human fighter moved his shoulders, as if he was warming up, and behind him, a strong figure said respectfully:

"Our opponent is..."

"No!"

The wolf-like man flicked his fingers, and stroked the hideous knife marks on his eyelids:

"Don't tell me! I'm not in the mood or interested in knowing who my opponent is... All I know is, I'm going to win! Keep winning! Until..."

"Until I stand before him, until I kill him, or be killed by him..."
