Chapter 1437: Chapter 1437: Level 2

Even though ordinary people are unaware of the true value of a Commanding Flag, the flag itself has already made countless players and spectators green with envy.

The attributes of this War Equipment are simply too heaven-defying. At a time when player War Equipment is still in the green and blue tiers, let alone gold and ancient, even purple War Equipment is enough to make one drool.

Moreover, ordinary War Equipment usually has very few attributes, often just one or two, plus a special effect. The quality of the equipment is also judged by the special effect.

But this piece of War Equipment is almost comparable to Adventure equipment, adding health, defense, and offense, and even increasing movement speed – it’s absolutely heaven-defying.

Merely possessing this Commanding Flag can generally increase the combat effectiveness of one’s Legion by over twenty percent, and it’s a comprehensive enhancement, not just in a single aspect. It’s truly incredible.

What’s more, it has three special effects, which are practically regarded as four.

Firstly, there’s no need to say, aside from certain special troops that aren’t affected by morale, the vast majority of Legions need morale. Without a collapse in morale, it signifies that one will command an army of iron soldiers. It might not guarantee victory in every battle, but it will certainly boost the Legion’s odds of winning.

As for the special effect of increasing speed, it’s even more heaven-defying, incredibly useful whether attacking or retreating.

And as for Military Formations, it’s enough to make anyone envious to the extreme.

Now, almost every player who has a certain understanding of the war mode knows that the strongest point of the Legion lies in Military Formations.

But at the current stage, equipment related to Military Formations has yet to appear. To form a Military Formation, one needs to use the corresponding Military Formation Scrolls.

The issue, however, is that scrolls are single-use, and they are scarce, not to mention lacking a fixed production spot. Therefore, whenever Military Formation Scrolls appear on the market, they can be sold at sky-high prices.

It’s almost impossible to find them for sale; any guild with a bit of ambition would keep the scrolls they find, and if their members find scrolls, they are usually bought by the guild at a high price or sold to friends.

This kind of equipment that can form Military Formations is simply heaven-defying, though it has a cooldown. But once the time is up, it can be constantly unleashed.

“Tong Tong truly lives up to her reputation as a lucky charm; to draw such a heaven-defying item in the lottery.”

“Hehe, there was a guy bragging just now that he snatched a passageway and was showing off in front of me, saying how wonderful the rewards his guild obtained were. But compared to Starfire’s reward, it’s simply trash.”

“How come every good thing seems to happen to Starfire? They must be the favored child of the ancient god GM, right?”

“Character really is too important. It seems that for a guild to have a future, it needs to have a lucky star.”

The spectators’ eyes are reddened with desire, astonishingly tempting. If it weren’t for Starfire’s strong display, who knows how many people and guilds might be tempted to target Starfire.

If it weren’t for the deterrent power that Li Yao and Starfire showed during the Star Chaos incident, many would have taken action long ago.

The people of Starfire are also very pleased with this piece of equipment. It is indeed useful for the competition for the first kill. With this equipment, the chances of Starfire contending for the first kill will increase considerably.

At this moment, the passageway has already appeared, and the members of Starfire directly entered it.

When the members of Starfire could see clearly again, they found themselves in a city of steel.

The city is huge, as if they had shrunk, or as if they were in a giant’s realm. Whether it’s buildings or portals, all are incredibly tall. For example, a gate in front of them is three to four hundred yards high. Compared to the average height of around two yards for the people, such a gate is utterly heaven-defying.

“This is indeed a classic Titan style. Even though Titans have never descended here, they still build according to the standards of the Titans,” Tong Tong sighed.

Li Yao shook his head, “Titans have never actually come to this planet. These buildings were constructed for the Guardians. There are definitely corrupted or imprisoned Guardians in this city.”

“Now it seems we are outside the entrance. As long as we enter the portal, it means the start of the second stage.”

Everyone nodded and carefully read the System’s rule description.

“System: Before entering the second stage, the team will have a preparation time of two to six hours. During the preparation period, the team can open Anywhere Gates to mobilize Legions from the guild’s stronghold.”

“System: The rules of the second stage dictate that from the beginning of the stage, all teams will gain a progress bar. Completing relevant tasks, killing certain monsters, rescuing specific hostages will earn progress values according to the difficulty of the tasks, the strength and number of the monsters, and the importance of the rescued hostages.”

“System: The goal of the second stage is to breach into the central area of the city. To enter the center, one must obtain the required progress value in the outer city. Of course, teams can also choose to continuously sweep the outskirts. All teams that enter the second stage can attack each other. In the second stage, there are no allies between teams, and they can engage in life-and-death battles and duels over tasks, city strongholds, and hostages.”

“System: In integrated mode, life-and-death duels are divided into individual battles, team battles, and Legion battles, with the System randomly determining if both sides cannot decide. The losing side will not only lose the tasks, strongholds, and hostages but will also be eliminated from the second stage.”

“System: In integrated mode, the team can summon an army of two hundred thousand. At the same time, for every team member that exists, there is a quota of five thousand additional troops. The two hundred thousand Legion can be replenished.”

“System: No form of mutual assistance between teams is allowed, nor is it allowed to secretly ally. Even teams from the same guild are not permitted to assist each other. If determined to be aiding one another, they will be eliminated.”

After a long while, everyone looked up one after another, pondering the rules.

Fireworks took a deep breath and said, “It’s more player-friendly this time. We can summon two hundred thousand Legions, and each member can replenish five thousand, indicating in reality we have a quota for four hundred thousand.”

“But only two hundred thousand can be summoned as a permanent force. It seems that team members cannot die easily, otherwise the death of a member means a loss of five thousand troops. The integrated mode is truly more challenging,” Feng Yi frowned.

“Integrated mode, not just adventure and war, will inevitably overlap. It’s needless to think that the elimination rate among teams entering the second stage will be astonishingly high,” Demoness said.

Li Yao nodded, “Regardless of anything else, let’s now discuss the allocation of the two hundred thousand troops and the two hundred thousand reserve Legions. Don’t speak directly, everyone first list out a plan, and then we’ll discuss it together.”

The members of Starfire began to construct their own armies. They all had detailed data on the troops, including Li Yao’s personal army, and were thinking of the best allocation plan.

And just as they had guessed, the elimination rate of the second stage is alarming. A lot of teams have entered before, but most of them have been eliminated. The struggle for the passageway in the outside world remains intense…
