Chapter 224: The World Tournament’s Next Stage
The steel warship carrying the participants of the World Tournament finally arrived at the waters near the so-called 'Island of Ice and Fire'.
In the air, two flying warships transmitted images of the Island of Ice and Fire to viewers in the four worlds.
On the huge virtual screens in all the worlds, one could clearly see an island divided into two halves: one covered with mountains of snow and ice, and the other filled with volcanoes and ash. And in the center, there was a circular lake.
In addition, at the northern and southern ends of the island, an ice castle and a black stone castle were erected respectively. Three main roads led from these castles, and along each were watchtowers with cannons over ten meters high, three in total for each road.
"Attention, all contestants, we have arrived at the semi-final venue, 'Ice and Fire Island'. Now I will give the final introduction to the competition system. Please listen carefully."
"Due to the excessive number of casualties in the previous 'open auditions', the World Government has deliberately added two new regulations."
"First, during this semi-final, you may not intentionally kill the opponent's members. You only need to make them lose their combat ability, such as disability, fainting, etc. If necessary, there will be protection personnel to stop the fatal attack. If the attacker is judged to have malicious behavior, he may be disqualified."
"Second, if one party takes the lead in destroying all the artillery on the other side's turrets, it can also win the final victory. Note that these artillery will automatically attack the opponent's members, and there is a certain risk of death."
...
Spectators from all four worlds were fascinated by the novel format of the competition. Everyone was talking about the Island of Ice and Fire, discussing the harsh conditions and the best strategies to win by the rules.
Of course, the 400 participants on board the warship were no exception either. As they looked at the island in the distance, they discussed quietly with their newly formed teammates.
