Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

At night, the stadium of the Dragon Metropolis was ablaze with lights.

After five days of waiting, the long-awaited Hundred Fortresses Hegemony Tournament had finally kicked off.

As the lights gradually dimmed down, the faces of the players who were the most loyal fans of Battle Online were filled with excitement as they sat waiting in the gymnasium.

With a beam of light shining at the center of the stage, four figures of the ATC Band slowly appeared. At the same time, music started to play.

‘Legends Never Die’

Legends never die,

When the world is calling you,

Can you hear them screaming out your name?

Legends never die.

They never lose hope,

When everything’s cold and the fighting’s near.

It’s deep in their bones,

They’ll run into smoke when the fire is fierce.

Oh pick yourself up, ’cause

Legends never die.

Legends never die,

They’re written down in eternity,

But you’ll never see the price it costs.

Scars collected all their lives,

When everything’s lost.

They pick up their heart and avenge defeat,

Before it all starts,

Thru suffer through harm just to touch a dream.

Oh pick yourself up, ’cause

Legends never die.

……

As the music played, the lights in the entire Dragon Metropolis stadium gathered and formed the map of the Hundred Fortresses Hegemony above the crowd.

CG scenes in the game were projected in 3D form and at the same time, the gamers below cheered.

“Battles never end, legends never die. Welcome to the stadium of the Dragon Metropolis to watch the first Hundred Fortresses Hegemony Tournament of Battle Online,” the host of the tournament, Fang Ping appeared at the center of the stage.

The surrounding lights came on at this moment, illuminating the sky. Four huge words ‘Hundred Fortresses Hegemony Tournament’ emerged on the big screen in front of the stage.

“I believe that the loyal players of Battle Online have waited a long time for the arrival of this day and tonight, we are going to watch them compete to be one of the one hundred strongest guilds of the year! The horn of war has sounded. In between this battle of blood and fire, who will be the ultimate king? Let’s turn our attention to the big screen…”

As Fang Ping finished his sentences, the fonts on the big screen faded and the scene of the Mansion of the Dead in the game appeared.

……

Meanwhile in the game, all the guilds were ready and waiting for the opening of the event.

[Server Announcement: Attention to all the guild gamers who have registered for the Hundred Fortresses Hegemony Tournament. The transport array will be open in thirty seconds. Please be prepared!]

The message of the game had the entire Mansion of the Dead liven up. All the gamers were shouting in excitement.

Liu Chai of the Demolition Guild said, “Brothers, I wanted to say one thing before the battle. I’m going to take down the City of Beiqi. Do you guys have the confidence!?”

Upon hearing the leader’s bellow, all the members of the Demolition Guild raised their weapons and cheered at the same time.

Gu Yu of the Myth Guild said, “The City of Beiqi is our target. We have always been the strongest guild, from the beginning to the end!”

Chen Ziyu of the Great Dragon Guild said, “Brothers, we are different from the other guilds. Unlike them, we have no money or connections, but this time…”

Chen Ziyu glanced at the guild members and said, “This time… we vow to take over the City of Beiqi!”

Wu Guoyi of the Avengers said, “It’s time for us to prove ourselves. We have been preparing for today. Point your sword at the City of Beiqi and get ready to fight with me. Winner takes all and the loser stands small. We swear to fight till we die!”

Lu Zhan of the Slayer Alliance raised the wine glass in his hand and said, “A toast to those who are going to war with me. We are going to sweep through the battlefield and make contributions to our guild! Cheers!”

With that, all the guild members raised their glasses and downed their wine.

Yue Han of the Ground Shaking Guild said, “Golden swords and iron horses… all my warriors are excellent fighters who can fight like tigers. There is no enemy that can defeat us. If it were not us who will win over Beiqi, who else could it be!?”

……

All the guild masters shouted their goals during the last thirty seconds of the transportation countdown.

The audiences that were watching the live broadcast outside the arena were also influenced by their burning excitement. Enthusiastic cheers broke out in the stadium of the Dragon Metropolis. They felt that lofty ambitions had filled their hearts and they were looking forward to seeing who was going to win the epic battle tonight.

There were also a large number of gamers who were watching the live broadcast of the tournament on the Shark Streaming Platform. Even those who had never played this game before were affected by the passionate pre-battle mobilization. It had even triggered their curiosity about the game, Battle Online.

The battle was about to start. Even Lu Wu did not expect that the City of Beiqi would be the target of all the grand guilds.

Shockingly, these powerful guilds that had established immortal dynasties in other games had the same goal, which was to be the champion.

An epic level battle was slowly beginning…
