Chapter 331: Major Meeting and Meeting Again. Part II

“The roar of warriors is so intense like this, then I, DJ Toei will start the holy crystal war from now on!”

HEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!!

And that was once again when more than five thousand players screamed out cheerfully with their fists held up to the sky, showing how excited everyone was about this event.

“And today is the day that people travel to this town for the same reason, which is to choose and join their army. DJ Toei will start explaining the rules and manner of this war briefly now!”

After speaking, DJ Toei held his palms out wide and the large screens at the stage changed the live image of him into an infographic.

“In this war, we will divide into two armies. And we’ll let those players who are joining the war choose their side.”

Then the large images of Pride’s world map appeared on the screens.

“The first army includes the area of the North Army that had the major towns like Dores here and Ziggard to the west. This army is based under chilly weather and has the advantage of using brutal dungeons like Drago Hild or Blood Moor to block the travelling route as well. This army will rule the northern area and the western. The warriors will be answering the goddess of water Seraria. The blue army.”

After that, the top down to the west side of the map on the screen was highlighted in blue, with the symbol of a golden-haired goddess standing with hands joining, and she had a trident placed by her side.

“And the second army.” DJ Toei shouted again. “This one that will fight against goddess Seraria. When there’s water, there must be fire, the army that answers to the god fire, Raphier. It is the red pirate’s army that owns the eastern area and the southern area, including a major town like Venesia, the biggest port town of the game, and a town in the south like Ramin that is close to the game’s important crystals and minerals mine. There’re also dungeons that are rich in those significant items like the ancestors’ tomb or Nasen as well.”

He finished speaking and the map on the screens was highlighted with red all over the east side, all the way to the south clearly. The symbol was a young god with red hair with the flames blazing out of his two hands, and there were swords placed on each side of him. Seeing that the players who were standing around the clearing turned to talk to each other excitedly.

“And before you guys choose your side, we have to wait for those 5 ace guilds this year to choose it first, so our staff can manage the balance of each army. Of course, for the details of that, GM Thada will explain along with the live meeting that is about to happen in the next few minutes.

Then the map on the screen disappeared before a large text was shown instead.

“About the rule in the war. Each army will get 3 pieces of the holy crystal, which will be the life points of each army. And the crystals you will get look like this.”

After that, the picture of the crystal appeared on the screen. It was a long-shaped crystal, and it was stated clearly on the screen that it was 3 meters in length. So, that was a lot taller than a human.

“Now, a way to win the war is to destroy all three crystals of the enemy army down, and the war will get the winner right away.” DJ Toei said and pointed at the crystal on the screens. “Anyway, these crystals that we’ll give to the armies, have HOP up to 200 million each.”

The picture on the screen changed to a drawing infographic.

“As you can see, these crystals can be used to transform into anything, some large cannon turrets, a strong army base, or even have it stay with a player. And to process the crystals into anything, the players can only do it one time for one crystal. After it’s transformed, the players will not be able to change it at all. Also, after any item made of the crystal or anyone who has it, gets destroyed, we will count that as the crystal is destroyed as well.”

The explanation ended, and the screens showed a live picture of DJ Toei again.

“There’s no time limit to the war. It will keep going on until all crystals of the other get destroyed. That is the only way the war ends. Even if one of the armies can take over all the area on the other’s map, if their crystals are not yet destroyed, the war will continue like that still.”

After that, the players started commenting about it interestedly. They were talking mainly about the longest war which took about two years in real-world time. And the shortest war took only two weeks. That was scary fast, and it just happened 4 years ago.

And how could it not end in two weeks,

When the four gods straightly joined up in the same army like that.

“I’ll remind you again about the qualifications of the players who are going to join the war.” DJ Toei started talking again. “For players who don’t belong to any guild, you can join the war when you have at least level 50, and at least 2 classes only. And for those who are with their guild that is not one of the aces, your guild has to have level 60 on average. And you all know that you will choose the side tomorrow after the staff has balanced out the stats in each army.”

The players around there started chatting with each other again. And of course, these people were those who wanted to join the war but did not join any guild. Or maybe they did, but it was just a small one.

“Alright now, everyone. After those brief details about the war, next is the main event of this meeting now.” DJ Toei said in an excited voice. “As you know, our staff finished ranking the guilds around three weeks ago. And now that we’ve got the list of 100 ace guilds already. Those 6th – 100th aces are already waiting inside the Athenia tower right now.”

The host pointed his hand to his back, drawing every eye of the audience to look at it right away.

“And right now, the 5th ace and up have arrived in Dores now. If you want to meet them, let me hear you make some noise for the warriors!”

After that, the cheering sound was louder than the last time. Because speaking of the 5 aces, they all knew that the first 4 had to be the four gods’ guilds obviously. But this year, there was another guild added on.

It was a new guild that had just been established at the start of the year.

But their reputation right now was rising into the sky.

Honestly, the guild was in the other players’ interest not any less than the four gods at all.

“Well, then, please welcome the 5th ace guild of the war!”
