Chapter 293: Preselection Begins!

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianzi's expression froze, not knowing how to respond.

Indeed, it took about three to four years for the gaming scene of the Heroes to take shape, and the competition among the Ten Great Guilds was only finalized in the fifth year of Heroes.

But the Assassin Alliance…

In the first year of Heroes, it already began to take shape.

It can be said that, aside from Universe, the Assassin Alliance appears to be the oldest among the Ten Great Guilds.

"Hehe, I always thought that Kong Lang, the guild leader, would eventually return to Universe."

Jiang Hai Tange laughed and took over the conversation.

Originally, the Assassin Alliance was merely a squad of assassins under Universe; after Universe formed an assassin guild, Su Sheng led everyone to leave Universe and establish the Assassin Alliance.

These 'ancient' game histories are basically known by everyone in the gaming circle.

Although Jiang Hai Tange said that, in fact, nobody really wants to see the Assassin Alliance actually return to Universe.

Originally, as the top of the Ten Great Guilds, Universe is like a great mountain pressing down on the heads of the other nine major companies.

If the Assassin Alliance truly returned to Universe, it would be more than just 1+1>2 can describe.

Now the foundation of the Assassin Alliance has formed a new guild, and a large portion of people are actually quite happy to see that.

"We Assassin Alliance have never said we would return to Universe," Chen Guan rolled his eyes.

Actually, back then it was just Su Sheng, Chen Guan, and a few people from Ten Court Yanluo casually joining a guild.

At most it was just a stopover; the core of the Assassin Alliance was gradually built up later by Su Sheng, Chen Guan, and the members of Ten Court Yanluo.

"I also thought that the chairman of Yanhuang would be Kong Lang, the guild leader."

Ye Tianzi blinked.

"Hehe…"

Chen Guan grinned, directly ignoring Ye Tianzi's words, though the smile carried a hint of mockery.

"Alright, we came here just to get acquainted." Jiang Hai Tange tapped the ground with his staff.

"After all, our opponents this time are the guilds from the other three main cities."

"We need to pool our wisdom and strength."

Jiang Hai Tange looked at everyone and said.

This was also their original intention in coming; although they resisted Yanhuang's rise somewhat, the current situation is that Yanhuang has become utterly impossible to ignore.

Speaking honestly, this Battle for the Cauldron is also unfamiliar to the Ten Great Guilds, after all, the Heroes previously had nothing like this.

Probably only Su Sheng among those present understands that this is preparation for the upcoming National War.

"For now we don't know the exact format; let's first qualify and then talk."

Su Sheng said with a smile.

At the same time, Su Sheng sized up the opposing side's lineup.

Almost the same as Yanhuang, each side has about two to three teams.

"Qualifying won't be easy; I expect afterward it'll just be an internal fight among us." Ye Tianzi said, completely unbothered.

Yanhuang has three teams, except for the peak which only has two teams; Tian Sheng Changge and Imperial Dynasty each have three teams, so even if all of their guild teams qualify,

we still need to eliminate one team.

After all, the Battle for the Cauldron only has ten teams competing.

We still don't know what the specific format of the Battle for the Cauldron is like.

It's quite obvious that their idea is probably the same as Su Sheng's: directly control the qualification for this Battle for the Cauldron in the hands of several major guilds.

As for ordinary players, they just wait to enjoy the spoils.

After all, according to the official announcement, the reward for this Battle for the Cauldron is a city-wide reward for the entire main city.

Even some extremist guild players think that this preliminary round is completely unnecessary.

Those ordinary players should just be given the way to participate in whatever preliminary round; wasting time really is.

Of course, this is just some extremist thinking.

No matter what, there are still quite a few players participating in the preliminary round.

Moreover, as the saying goes, true masters are found among the folk — not just empty talk.

Su Sheng does not believe that among those participating in the preliminary round there are no experts.

In fact, the very fact that they dare to contend with these guild players shows their confidence in their own strength.

Actually, the number of players is not that high — only a couple thousand teams or so.

After all, each of the Four Great Main Cities has players numbered in the hundreds of millions.

According to the latest official statistics, the number of players in the domestic server exceeds nine hundred million…

Although there are still many players in the lower towns who have not yet reached the main city.

But already more than half of the players have reached level 40, which triggers this Battle for the Cauldron.

Of course, there are likely still many participating players who have not gathered in the square.

Furthermore…

Su Sheng saw the Dream Building Squad.

They also came to Zhuque City.

The Dream Building Squad probably wanted to come over to say hello, but seeing a group of guild players together, they didn't come to join the fun.

However, Su Sheng still silently nodded at Zhu Meng Junjie.

Zhu Meng Junjie returned with a smile.

It's quite obvious that the Dream Building Squad also participated in this preliminary round.

At least, according to Su Sheng's knowledge, the Dream Building Squad's level should be about the same as the sister squad led by Huan Jie.

After all, they have a captain with an Innate Mission Holy Body; Su Sheng doesn't know how many benefits the Dream Building Squad members have gained during missions.

"Right, go first." the Peak War God nodded.

Coincidentally at that moment, the system's notification sound also rang.

Ding-dong…

System Notification…

The Cup Seizing War preliminary tournament officially begins.

Player squads participating in the sea selection, after being in the town, the captain applies to teleport to the arena.

Su Sheng did not hesitate and opened the interface directly.

Teleport…

Swish swish~

The tens of thousands of players in the plaza vanished collectively.

At the same time, Zhuque City… or rather among the Four Great Main Cities, many players were teleported away.

……

Su Sheng and the others appeared on a large arena platform.

System Notification: Cup Seizing War preliminary match, round one begins, countdown…20.

Ahead, a light screen blocks the view; the opposite side is unseen, and we don't know which team is opposite.

Countdown: 20 seconds.

"Battle formation!"

Su Sheng whispered.

Although absolutely confident in his own team, the lion fighting a rabbit also gives its all.

Don't wait until the trench capsizes later; that would be troublesome.

Swish~

In fact, before Su Sheng spoke, Chen Guan had already vanished.

Assassin…

Only a vanished assassin is a good assassin.

Or rather, a thief.

Assassins can reclass in two directions: one is a killer that focuses on burst damage, an ultimate damage‑output profession.

One is an agility‑based wind‑chasing thief, and Chen Guan reclassed as a thief.

Compared to killers, thieves have slightly weaker burst capability, but their agility surpasses them by a wide margin, making them more adaptable to various situations.

At the same time, Su Sheng drew a Shield, grasped a long spear, and mounted his mount.

Long spear, Shield, red steed, red cape, the spear tip in his hand faintly glimmered with starlight.

What a handsome sight.

Li Wenwan and Huang Mingxin stepped back simultaneously, Su Ba stood in the center, holding a magic sword and clutching talismans to coordinate…
