The dungeon lord's dormitory.
"Agent, are you really going to let me participate in this competition?"
Thorne returned to the dungeon lord's dormitory, wiped the scarred wooden sword in his hand, and looked at Jiang Qiao who was waiting for him in the lord's dormitory.
"You do want to participate in the competition, but I think the opponent you will face next is not the Holy Spirit." Jiang Qiao has been waiting for Thorn here for a long time, "nor are they the guardians of the Ascension Road."
"Who is that?"
"The Legion of Annihilation."
Jiang Qiao pointed out the only "unfair" factor that might be criticized by players in this Holy Spirit League, which is that players may be invaded by the Annihilation Legion when challenging the Ascension Road copy.
The Holy Spirit Forum recently opened a special section called Path of Ascension to discuss various strategies for the Path of Ascension. In this section, more and more players have posted messages complaining about encountering invasions by the Annihilation Legion when they were playing dungeons.
These posts alerted Jiang Qiao. Since Jiang Qiao had Thorn, the ruler of the Sanctuary of Creation, to open a backdoor, the Annihilation Legion must have joined forces with another ruler to challenge the path of ascension!
To put it in the most straightforward way, the Annihilation Legion is now competing with the Holy Spirit for control of the Sanctuary of Creation, and it may not be a fight for just one department.
But the Annihilation Legion's attitude towards the Holy Spirit and Blue Star is absolutely hostile! Once they master the power of the Creation Sanctuary, it will be bad news for Jiang Qiao.
"Looks like I have to help with this..." Thorne knew what Jiang Qiao wanted him to do, which was to use the privileges of the Ruler to snipe those members of the Annihilation Legion who challenged the Path of Ascension.
This may seem like a drop in the bucket, but it would be bad news for Jiang Qiao if any member of the Annihilation Legion obtained the qualification of a ruler.
The worst outcome is that the Annihilation Legion and the Sanctuary of Creation join forces to encircle and suppress the Holy Spirit.
"Who are my teammates?" Thorn glanced behind Jiang Qiao. At this moment, there was no one in the dungeon lord's dormitory. "If you want me to participate alone, I don't mind."
"I'm your teammate."
A hoarse voice came from behind Jiang Qiao, and a large amount of dark liquid suddenly gathered in the pancake box behind Jiang Qiao.
These liquids gradually gathered into a human shape, but the liquids still spread around, like hundreds of tiny arms sticking to the armor parts placed in the dormitory garden, and finally pieced together one by one into a complete knight's armor.
All the sticky liquid retracted into the armor. When the skull visor was pulled down, a deep blue flame burned in the eye sockets. A character who looked more like the Annihilation Legion than the Annihilation Legion appeared beside Jiang Qiao.
"Black Ash Knight, Level 69, Lord-level Construct, HP 1340000/1340000."
The Black Cinder Knight ate almost six hundred boxes of pancakes in the dungeon lord's dormitory. These pancakes allowed him to barely restore some of his combat power. One million health points were definitely not his limit, but he had no problem going with Thorne to cause trouble for the Annihilation Legion in the Path of Ascension.
"You are more like the enemy of the Holy Spirit than their teammate, Black Embers Knight? On the star map, you are indeed a more dangerous figure than the soldiers of the Annihilation Legion." Thorne complained about the Black Embers Knight's past reputation on the star map.
But now those horrific legends have nothing to do with the Black Ash Knight. He is just a coal lump who likes to eat pancakes.
"Now that one person has been found, do you have any other candidates for the agent?" Thorne was not satisfied or dissatisfied with the joining of the Black Ash Knight. He was now being forced to do business, so it would be a good thing for him to find a few capable helpers.
"I still have many candidates. As for the next candidate..."
When Jiang Qiao thought of this, a portal appeared beside him, and Jiang Qiao's Freya walked out of the portal.
Since the Holy Spirit Challenge was declared over, Jiang Qiao's Freya prototype has not given up the idea of becoming stronger. Her level has begun to rise steadily under the guidance of the Wasp Knight.
"She? Agent, I'm not good at taking care of children. If we are going to fight the Annihilation Legion, this puppet lady is not a qualified teammate."
Thorne spoke without any mercy. Jiangqiao Freya's prototype was indeed too weak compared to the Five Knights. But before Jiangqiao could speak... Freya's mentor Wasp Knight appeared behind Thorne and put a dagger against Thorne's throat.
"Even a child can be deadly with a dagger." Wasp Knight said in Thorne's ear.
"I won't send my Freya to carry out such a dangerous mission. They are your guides. She will accept the training missions from the Creation Sanctuary for you. Is she a substitute?"
Jiang Qiao didn't dare to let his Freya go to fight the Annihilation Legion. Even though Freya now had the combat power of a Grandmaster-level player, Jiang Qiao would still feel distressed if she was really injured.
After Freya's battle with Lady Disaster, Jiang Qiao spent a lot of effort repairing Freya's injuries bit by bit to ensure that no wounds were left.
The Holy Spirit Challenge is a competition only for players and friendly NPCs, but this time there is a high probability of encountering the Annihilation Legion. No matter how much Jiang Qiao's Freya says "I can fight alone", it is still difficult for Jiang Qiao to let her go to the battlefield.
"Substitute? What about the regular players?" Thorne used his fingertips to move the dagger that the Wasp Knight was holding against his neck.
At Jiang Qiao's signal, the Wolf Knight and the Axeman, who were holding a paper bag of daily necessities, returned to the dungeon lord's dormitory from the Holy Spirit City.
After noticing the gazes of Jiang Qiao and Thorne, the two of them quickly put down the paper bags in their hands, took off their hoods and put on their helmets used on the battlefield again.
"Agent, we are ready." Wolf Knight's voice sounded a little stiff, especially under the gaze of Wasp Knight.
The Wasp Knight was just training Freya from Jiangqiao, while the Wolf Knight took some time out to go to the Holy Spirit City with his "good friend" the Axeman to buy some daily necessities.
Recently, the five knights under Queen May have been living a very leisurely life, which can be seen from the recent life trajectories of the Wolf Knight and the Swordsman in the Holy Spirit City.
It's time for Jiangqiao to let them work!
Finally, the candidates for the Holy Spirit official team were successfully finalized, namely Thorne, Black Cinder Knight, Axeman, Wolf Knight, and Wasp Knight. The substitute is Freya from Jiangqiao. The name familiar to the players should be the incarnation of Freya.
The registered name of this team is the Holy Spirit Team, but the team's initial goal was not so much to win the game as to fight against the Annihilation Legion in the Path of Ascension.
"There are four hours left before the Holy Spirit League begins. If you have anything you want to ask or say, please do so now," Jiang Qiao said.
"Agent, what if we win?" The Axeman raised his hand and asked, "Should we give up if we encounter the Holy Spirit team?"
"You can let it go in the play-in round, but it's not certain whether you can really win the quarterfinals."
Jiang Qiao checked out the various news on the Internet. When the Holy Spirit Team officially appeared in the list of participating teams, within less than an hour, there were people questioning the official internal data cheating. This trend even occurred after Thorne announced that he would set up his own team to participate in the competition.
As soon as the Holy Spirit Team was announced, not only those guys who wanted to lead the pace, but even the cloud players who stood on the side of the Holy Spirit and the old brothers in the forum couldn't remain calm.
This is the case when Jiang Qiao weakened the data of the Five Knights by one tenth and put it above. If players encounter the Five Knights, they only need to reduce the health of the Black Ash Knight by one tenth to be judged as victorious.
Jiang Qiao did not pay attention to these rhythms and news, but launched a new way of watching the game before the launch of the Holy Spirit League!
That is cloud players watching the game.
Users who have downloaded the Holy Spirit Cloud Player APP client can choose their favorite team and follow the team into the dungeon in the form of a light ball when these teams participate in the competition.
At the same time, Holy Spirit’s live broadcast room on the Raccoon Live official website will also broadcast the live performance of some well-known teams.
When the cloud player viewing function was launched, it was officially announced that the first Holy Spirit League had officially kicked off!
