"Uh~ The venison on the orcs is still as unpalatable as ever."

The preliminaries of the shooting class of the Dharmur Conference have ended for more than half an hour. People who had lunch sat together with their friends to discuss their experiences all morning. Many of them were participants. Although they had wins and losses, most of them had a very calm expression. Yue Yulou and Artoria sat in the central square (actually just the flat ground where the orcs held gatherings on weekdays). On the stone bench temporarily built by the orcs, there were sips of tea in their hands. This was what Artoria bought before coming to the Heavenly Father's Grassland.

"After all, the yellow deer on the Heavenly Father's grassland is not as plump as the forest deer, and its flesh is harder. Sousse, don't complain so much."

Seeing the passing pedestrians completely turned a blind eye to the two, Artoria also let go of the cautious tone.

"Oh~ But then again... it will be the last show today, right?"

"Well, Linda and the others should play in the team adjustment match."

Speaking of the name of her subordinate whom she trusted the most, Artoria's tone couldn't help but change slightly, and Yue Yulou immediately noticed her uneasiness and worries.

"Don't worry?"

"Linda and the others have been following me in the past. I don't know how many times I have experienced big and small battles. There is nothing to worry about, just..."

"This is the first time they left your command to fight alone, right?"

"Well, but I believe Linda and Bridget can handle it well, after all, they are both quite mature people."

"Is that right? Then there's no problem. Let them do what they want. This is also a process that a mature leader must go through, believing in his own family... You see, I rarely interfere in their affairs, and rarely force them to do things according to my wishes."

"Hmph! Sousse, don't be so proud, this is the biggest problem!"

Putting down the teacup in her hand, Artoria suddenly pinched Yue Yulou's cheeks and pulled it a little indignantly. Recently, she seemed to like this action more and more, making Yue Yulou feel that her pressure was getting farther and farther away from her...

"Daisy... don't keep doing this, everyone else is watching..."

"Hmph!"

Putting down his hands, Artoria immediately straightened Yue Yulou's head, allowing the two to keep their eyes facing each other.

"Sus, I've always wanted to say this... You're too indulging your subordinates! It would be fine if they were all ordinary players, but you know who they are. A group of people who have no concerns when doing things happen to have such powerful power... Do you know how many troubles they have made recently?"

"Oh, it's not that serious. I can't always lock them up in Xinghui City without any trouble, right?"

"Not that serious? The shark shark under your command has now become the most terrifying wild boss in Aylorland. Almost every day, hundreds of players land on the moon because of him. There is also the Terry William who has to tear down a church every day, Green Ya, Zero... These people are almost all listed on the wild boss rankings, and they don't act like an NPC, they are completely like a boss."

"Daisy, do you still remember what I said to you? When Mu was established, I promised them that they would not interfere with their daily lives. As long as they did not cause harm to the organization, they would be a free person... I cannot break my promise."

Although Yue Yulou's expression was very plain, his tone was so firm that it was unanswerable.

"Sus, this is not a matter of breaking one's promise. You should be clear... If they continue like this, they will only destroy themselves and even destroy the entire Mu. I am not asking you to ban their actions, but they do need some restrictions. This is also something a qualified leader must do!"

"A qualified leader..."

After murmuring in a low voice, Yue Yulou suddenly took out a silver ring without crystal inlaid from his sleeve. Looking at the traces of blood on it, the pale and tired face once again appeared in front of him.

“… Maybe I’m not a qualified leader.”

"Sus, stop blaming yourself for that matter..."

Seeing Yue Yulou's expression a little depressed, Artoria gently pressed the ring in his palm. Although she didn't know what the lost NPC meant to her lover, if she had lost a companion who had been with her day and night, she would definitely not be in a good mood.

"I promised them to let them see the truth of this world, but I did not consider whether they could withstand such truth. The bold words at the time gradually cooled down. Now I don't know whether to continue to take them to that uncertain road..."

Before Artoria could speak, the dark expression on Yue Yulou's face suddenly dissipated, and the originally sunny smile replaced it again.

"...Haha, OK, OK, I will tell them, let them pay attention and don't always mess with those players if you're fine."

Dongdongdongdongdong~~~~~

Suddenly, silent drums floated from a distance, and everyone's spirits were revived with the appearance of the drums. The last program of the first day of the Damu Conference is about to be staged!

Three minutes later

"Sus, it seems that there are more people paying attention to the team competition than the individual competition..."

Standing in the special audience seat that was only two meters above the ground for "high money" purchase, all the time, the originally vibrant grassland has completely turned into a sea of ​​people. With the cheers higher than the waves, waves have also been stirred up in the crowd. The warm atmosphere overwhelmed everything, and carnival has become the theme of the grassland at this moment.

"It's normal, because individual competitions are more often just opportunities for players to entertain, while team competitions are the stage for various major forces to show their own. The excitement of both sides is naturally incomparable, not to mention that there are many players from various major guilds in it."

Looking in the direction of Yue Yulou's finger, groups with clear boundaries appeared in Artoria's vision, and there were also flags waving in the wind. Those groups were composed of players from various guilds, and they were also the ones who shouted the most intensely throughout the entire schedule.

"Whether it is complex or intense, the team competition is far better than the individual competition, not to mention the various conspiracies, transactions, betrayals caused by it... Hehe, I can't help but look forward to it."

"Sus! I've said it so many times!"

"Ahhh, I know, I know..."

The preliminary round of the team competition is not complicated. The group promotion system is adopted. Each 6 teams are divided into one group. Only the first and second place can qualify for promotion. However, this not-complex competition system, coupled with the intrigue between various major guilds, suddenly becomes mysterious.

The initial purpose of the team competition is to allow each team to adapt to the grassland environment, but what really makes people care about is another hidden purpose, to spy on the opponent's strength, or let the opponent see his own strength...

There is no doubt that in team competitions, intelligence is extremely important, and even sufficiently accurate intelligence can make up for a considerable amount of strength shortcomings, especially the intelligence about opponents' spiritual sense, which is enough to turn the tables. However, each guild is hidden deeply from its own elite teams, and it is really difficult to obtain the information of these teams. The appearance of the adjustment competition provides convenience for such a peer.

But on the other hand, if the opponent wants to spy on his own strength, then can he use disguise to confuse the opponent, for example, he uses special methods to show powerful power beyond his own strength at the beginning, so that the party who is stronger than him feels confused, or shows some special skills, making the other party mistakenly think that this is his spiritual consciousness...

Peeping, deceiving and counter-deception are the real themes of the adjustment game. How can we see the opponent's true strength? How can we deceive the opponent? How can we not be deceived by the opponent? This question lingers in the minds of every leader...

Of course, ordinary players don’t think so much. They just want to see the most exciting preview of this team, and showing their strong side in front of everyone is also something that each team must consider.

In the adjustment match, each team cannot use its own weapons, and can only use prepared wooden weapons. At the same time, their opponent will be the orc guards.

The difficulty can be selected in the adjustment match. In the first level difficulty, the player will face the most ordinary beast soldiers. In the second level difficulty, the player will face the assault soldiers in the orc army. In the third level difficulty, the player will encounter the elite warriors in the orc army. In the fourth level difficulty, the player will compete with the orc’s most terrifying chief guard, and most teams choose to challenge at level 2 or above.

Take a look at the take-out, during the challenge, players can choose to ride a war horse or fight on foot, but if they choose to ride a war horse, everyone must get on the horse, and the same is true for walking.

"The team competition adjustment match is about to begin! The first one to play will be the Revenge Squad from the Duchy of the Falcons! They chose the level three difficulty!"

As soon as the sound made by the amplified crystal appeared, the entire field was completely boiling. No one expected that the first game would be so hot. Revenge Squad, a legendary team with a demon-level powerhouse!

"Ah, it was so powerful from the beginning, tsk tsk... I don't know if Thor will appear."

Yue Yulou's expectations for this powerful demon god whom he had never met were also raised to the extreme. Everyone stretched out their necks, looking forward to the start of the game.

"Please invite me below! Revenge team from the Duchy of Falcon!"

"Long live the revenge!"

"Long live the goddess of liberty!"

In an instant, the roar of cheers overwhelmed the referee's roar. In the face of great expectations, a group of people of different figures slowly walked out of the preparation tent. The first adjustment game is about to begin!
Chapter completed!
