Quadruple split

The War League is a large-scale event that is held every few years. It is an influential event both inside and outside Academy City. Although it is not as famous as the [Comprehensive Knight Fighting Competition], it is still popular among In the eyes of industry insiders, it is definitely an event not to be missed.

Its main purpose is not to fight with real swords and guns like a fighting competition, but to carry out large-scale deductions and confrontations under various random conditions through simulation. In other words, it is an activity specifically for commanders to compare their skills.

At first glance, it may seem unpopular. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, contestants from both sides talk to their own advisers in a small room, and then use a series of complex methods to copy their ideas onto the magic sandbox. After a long and boring wait, proceed to the next step of deduction based on intelligence until the end of the battle.

For a commander, the importance of deduction ability is self-evident, especially for those young people who have no chance to fight and cannot achieve results. If they can achieve good results in various deduction and confrontation activities , then there will be all kinds of high-quality 'opportunities' lining up to come to your door. After all, for most forces, an excellent commander is very important.

As for the mainstream deduction hardware in Innocence, there are various types of magic sandboxes. This is a rare luxury item that is not monopolized by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce or the Steam Consortium and is always controlled by the Alchemist Association and the Mage Guild. In view of the The difference between the technology tree and the modern technology outside the game and the engineering inside the game cannot be applied to it. If you want to compare it, this thing is similar to the real-world RTS (Real-Time Strategy: Real-Time Strategy) in the early 21st century. The games are quite similar.

The reason why it is 'similar' rather than 'the same' is naturally because even the top magic sandboxes cannot truly achieve 'real-time', even those who have been implanted with things like 'Book Spirit' and 'Tower Spirit' Magic sandboxes with artificial minds also have quite high delays. Of course, when both sides of the deduction will be affected by the delay, it will not affect fairness too much.

All in all, this thing is not very entertaining, but it is a required course for a qualified commander, at least for indigenous NPCs and most players who want to dispatch troops and generals to repel Fang Qiu.

There are simply too few commanders like Mo Tan and La Morlock who have barely dabbled in deductions in the early stages of games, but are recognized by others due to various encounters. To say they are rare is to say they are cheap.

Just like the Comprehensive Knight Fighting Competition, although the War League has always been hosted by several large military academies in Academy City in turn, the requirements for participants are actually quite broad, even broader than the former, with regard to strength, age, There are no requirements for origin, resume, or race. You just need to register to participate.

Of course, the registration fee still has to be paid, and two gold coins are not cheap. In addition to the seed players, even current students have to pay.

However, as long as you can pass the audition, the organizer will refund the money, so it is nothing to those who are confident in their own strength.

The audition method for the War League is also quite simple. First, each applicant must conduct a deduction battle with teachers or student representatives sent by the organizer, and then get a more specific score. That night, they will know whether they have advanced to the next level. One round of auditions.

This step is not difficult. After all, the military academies that can participate in the event are quite powerful. No matter how many people sign up, there will not be any problems with manpower and equipment.

Then, those who advance to the next round will continue to repeat the deduction with the official staff and get points again. As before, if they get the top results, they will be able to advance to the third round of auditions.

When the number of auditions is reduced to 256 people, the main competition can begin.

The main competition will be held at the host academy, that is, the [Danu Military Academy] where Foster Ward is located. The method is similar to the single competition of the comprehensive knight fighting competition. Simply put, the opponent is drawn by lot and eliminated one-on-one. system.

Different from the fighting competition, because the theme is war deduction, and the concept of "win or lose" in military deduction is quite ambiguous, so the basis for promotion is "score", and these scores are the combination of the referee and the jury's execution ability of the players. It is based on a series of factors such as , reaction capacity, execution of strategic objectives, and effective killing of enemy units. It can stand up in most cases.

In addition, although the speed of a game of war is much slower than that of a one-on-one match, with a large amount of equipment, the schedule of the War League is actually quite compact. As far as Mo Tan knows, it is the fastest in history. The whole process was completed in just two days.

In that competition, the advantages and disadvantages of the players were very different. On the first day, 256 went into 128, 128 went into 64, 64 went into 32, and 32 went into 16.

In the second day of the game, from 16 to 8 to the finals, it only took one morning.

However, perhaps because the league organizers felt that they couldn't stand it anymore, the scale of the finals battle was frantically set by the officials to be a large-scale legion-level melee with tens of thousands of people. The two championship candidates continued to deduce it from noon to the next day. The winner was decided at dawn. After walking out of his single room, he was almost exhausted. The champion even suffered from something similar to a heart attack and almost fell cold.

Since then, similar large-scale wars have rarely occurred in the League of War. Even if there were, the strategic goals of the players on both sides would be relatively simple and straightforward, and there would never be such an outrageous condition as "wiping out the enemy's entire army."

Anyway——

"Today is the first day of the main competition. We will accompany you there."

Yu Chen leaned over to smooth out the wrinkles on Mo Tan's clothes. He held his chin and walked around the latter, looking left and right for a long time. He then took out the adsorption cross he bought from his luggage when he and Mo Tan were walking together. She put the earrings on for him, narrowed her clear black eyes and murmured: "Well... I knew this would be good. Oh, I wish I had bought that bracelet before."

Mo Tan's astonished face turned slightly red: "Huh?"

"do not move."

Yu Chen walked around Mo Tan's back again, and then carefully held a few strands of his hair in his hands. After gesticulating for a long time, he sighed sadly: "Oh...it's too short, I can't comb it." "

Mo Tan was shocked. His body was trembling because of the girl's breath brushing the back of his neck when she spoke. He asked tremblingly: "What... why can't you comb your hair?"

"Hair."

Yuchen, who had walked around to Mo Tan's left side, bit his lower lip lightly and tried to pick up a few strands of hair around Mo Tan's ears. He wrinkled his nose and said, "I want to give you a ponytail... Well, a side ponytail will do, too. It goes perfectly with your earrings!”

Ink Tan: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"What's your expression~"

Yuchen tugged Mo Tan's hair gently and gently, and after gesticulating for a while, she finally lowered her slender shoulders in frustration and muttered: "No, it's still too short... Mo Tan, why are you pulling your hair?" Make it so short?"

"Hey Hey hey!"

Mo Tan, who finally came back to his senses, tried his best to suppress his desire to stay in the fragrance beside the girl for a few more seconds. He jumped back half a meter and looked at Yu Chen with vigilance mixed with horror. To be more precise, he was looking at the curling iron in Yuchen's hand (full name [Portable Dawn Hair Curling Cross], very popular among the ladies of the Battle Sisters): "What are you going to do?!"

"Eh?"

The girl tilted her head and blinked cutely and confusedly: "What are you doing?"

"Earrings!"

Mo Tan pointed at the black cross on his earlobe, rubbed his hair twice more, stared cautiously at the approaching girl in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "And the ponytail... what are you going to do? "

"Dress you up."

Yuchen smiled matter-of-factly and took another step forward: "Come on, hurry up and let me curl your head..."

"stop!"

Mo Tan took another step back, but found that he had bumped into a cabinet by the wall. He immediately stopped Yu Chen nervously and said in shock: "You... don't come over!"

Yuchen wrinkled his nose and glanced at the curling iron in his hand with some confusion: "Don't like it? But I think it should look pretty."

Mo Tan twitched the corner of his mouth and said dryly: "I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about... that... that or something... Oh, yes, Yu Chen, why are you dressing me up!"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Didn't you say this yourself?"

Everyone in Motan was dumbfounded: "Did I say that myself? What did I say?"

"Say~"

As Yu Chen spoke, he walked up to Mo Tan, raised the curling iron in his hand, and said with firm eyes, "You also want to be cool sometimes."

Snapped!

Mo Tan gently held the girl's delicate wrist and looked like he was about to cry: "That's not what I meant!"

"You said you wanted to be handsome!"

Although Yu Chen has absolutely no chance of being as strong as Mo Tan in reality, the character [Chen Wangyu] is no less powerful than [Hei Fan] even in terms of strength attributes, so she is working hard to suppress the unyielding person in front of her. The man's face was a little red because he was exerting force: "Let me... roll it up for you..."

"Yuchen, you... uh! You misunderstood, that's what I said, I didn't mean it that way!"

"Don't make trouble, that's what you think."

"I don't... want others to think... why are you so strong!"

"Didn't you want others to think anything?"

"You think I'm handsome."

"I know, but do you want me to think you're handsome?"

"..."

Mo Tan, who was speechless for a moment, finally lost to Yu Chen in a trance, and was forced to sit on the floor by that white and slender little hand.

The girl smiled sweetly. She knelt down in front of Mo Tan and gently pinched a strand of Mo Tan's hair. The curve of her mouth looked a little naughty: "Don't move~"

"No, um... we have something to talk about, I think..."

Mo Tan was unwilling to give up and tried to make a final resistance.

However--

"After finishing the roll, I think he will be very handsome."

Pushing away Mo Tan's weak right hand, the saintly girl smiled as clear as morning light.

…

ten minutes later

"Yo! Hafan, you finally did it...fuck!"

The Saint of Wealth, who was guarding the stairs with her arms folded, let out a scream and then lost her voice.

"Brother Hei Fan is so handsome today."

The beautiful boy Sun Seiko, who has not yet left the category of 'shota', nodded vigorously and complimented from the bottom of his heart.

"The earrings are beautiful."

The second princess of the Griffin Empire, Elisa Logan, put her arm around the shoulders of His Royal Highness the Holy Son and said with a smile: "But it's a bit too early for Brother Black."

The ascetic Tom, who was wearing a hood and covering his face with linen, smiled gently, nodded and said: "You are indeed very elegant. I will apply for a set of high-level priest uniforms for you when you go back. It suits you well." With this hairstyle.”

"Mighty and majestic."

Archbishop Sprada Whaling of the Justice Sect gave a concise and concise evaluation.

"Thank you... thank you all."

Mo Tan, who had a rather handsome look, beautiful earrings, temperament, and majestic air. Damn it, Mo Tan laughed weakly and walked down the stairs weakly. Yu Chen followed him with a smile.

In fact, Mo Tan's appearance has not changed much. Apart from the addition of a pair of earrings, his outfit is still the priest's robe he usually wears. However, after Yu Chen carefully trimmed his eyebrows, he also removed his messy black hair. After perming the texture and turning it into fluffy and curly hair, the overall energy of the person has indeed been significantly improved. To put it simply, it means that the person becomes handsome in an objective sense.

Of course, the 'handsome' here refers to the comparison between Mo Tan and himself. If we look at it purely from the perspective of appearance, there is still a gap between him and handsome guys of Yi Dong's level.

"Look, look~"

Yu Chen, who was walking behind, pursed his lips and smiled, leaned over and said in Mo Tan's ear, "Everyone praises you for being handsome."

"No."

Mo Tan shook his head with a dull expression and glanced at Feiyali: "She said 'f*ck'."

"But I'm uneducated, so I can tell the world with just one word!"

Feiyali, who had sharp ears, immediately put her hands on her hips and smiled, and said proudly: "Just think that I am complimenting you!"

Mo Tan tried his best to recall how Feiyali almost vomited blood because of 'himself' at [Black Mary] yesterday afternoon, and he felt a little better: "Well, I just thought you were complimenting me."

"[Danu Military Academy] is not far from here. We can have a quick bite before going."

Tom, who was sitting at the table, waved to everyone and smiled at Mo Tan: "And it doesn't matter if you go a little late. You are a special guest and will only appear in the top 32. If nothing else, you won't be able to play today. Arrived."

Archbishop Sprada laughed, patted the chair next to him and motioned for Mo Tan to sit down: "But we think it's better to accompany you to see the atmosphere first. I heard Her Royal Highness Fiyali say, Hei Fan, you were in the fighting competition before. I don’t take myself very seriously when I’m a judge.”

"Ah, this..."

"This time, he is a specially invited contestant, and he is a member of our Holy Religion Joint Delegation. You understand what I mean."

"Uh... um."

"Watch the game carefully in a while, familiarize yourself with the rules and so on. We don't ask you to be shameless, but you can't be embarrassed when the time comes."

"yes……"

"Oh, by the way, I heard that classmate Richard Lane from Tianhui Theological Seminary also seemed to have signed up, right, His Highness Yuchen? I remember his friend told you about this when he came here."

"ah!?"

"Um……?
