Chapter 497: Chapter 411: Empire Duel Tournant Chapter 497: Chapter 411: Empire Duel Tournant “Cassius, please wait for my good news.”
The silver dragon spread its wings and soared into the sky, its streamlined body particularly graceful, and its silver wings glistened faintly in the sunlight.
“Finally managed to bluff her.”
“Next, I’ll wait for assistance from the good alignnt. I believe that old fellow Osedro still has so good left in him.”
Watching the departing silver dragon, Cassius nodded lightly, then glanced at the panel displaying new information again.
[The overall strength level of the NPC faction [Ashen Empire] you created has reached: 3]
[Unlocked new panel: Faction Activities]
This did not co as a surprise to Cassius. A level 3 faction was already notable on the Fianso Continent.
Keep in mind, the once-powerful Holy Fadlan was only a level 5 faction according to the system’s evaluation.
After a year of developnt, the empire had achieved significant progress in politics, economics, and even culture.
The Matra Grand Farm was now fully operational, supplying food nationwide, the empire’s military-industrial system was initially established and thriving, and the parliantary system was gradually becoming a norm, with the political system becoming more complete.
The advancents in productivity, the affluence of the people’s lives, and the influence of the players brought about rapid social and cultural developnt, giving rise to nurous new trends of thought.
A spirit of confidence and valor spread across the nation.
In just a few short years, the once remote and barren land of the Anzeta Great Wilderness saw its people reach the peak of both material and spiritual prosperity.
Despite the fact that this prosperity was built on the sweat of countless workers and the blood and tears of the southern people, it was all hidden beneath the empire’s glamorous exterior.
“The faction activities are here too.”
Cassius revealed a smile.
Faction activities would allow him to secure a place on the player panel, fully integrating the empire’s activities into the players’ lives.
After the 2.0 version launched, faction activities would attract more players, making the Ashen Empire the “main faction” in the minds of more players.
It’s important to note that the next version would unlock many ancient teleportation circles—also known as “respawn points.”
Currently, the Ashen Empire could rely on its ho-field advantage to attract almost all the players.
But in the next version, that might not be the case: the Elf Kingdom of the Supre Forest, the Free Trade Federation of Silvermoon Bay, the three great kingdoms of Fadlan in war, the Orc Tribes of the Rossa Desert, all would beco extrely attractive starting points.
Cassius reminisced about the various key monts in his mory.
“Now it’s the Third Era, May 2, 1789, two months until the end of the Northern Wind and Cloud version, and the first server shutdown since the public beta.”
“So, let the Ashen Empire host the first large-scale server-wide official PvP event.”
In Cassius’ past life plan, the first large-scale server-wide PvP event was originally in the [Kings’ Strife] version, hosted by dozens of powerful guilds combined.
But now, this grand event would be moved up.
This was Cassius’ plan—to organize a large-scale PvP event before the server shutdown, fully extracting the last bit of experience and gold coins from the players during the final monts of the [Northern Wind and Cloud] version.
At the sa ti, this would affirm the Ashen Empire’s status as the “official faction,” attracting even more players in the future.
Two years ago, Cassius personally proposed the “Imperial Grand Colosseum” project, leading to the construction of this magnificent building in Isdalia, all for this day’s arrival.
About three months ago, Cassius had handed this task over to Ramp for preparation, and now everything was almost ready, just awaiting the official announcent.
“Everything is ready except for the final push.”
Cassius once again summoned the panel, exhaling a thin stream of white smoke, the golden vertical pupils flashing with light.
[Do you wish to release the large-scale faction activity to players?]
[Yes.]
[Please na this faction activity.]
Cassius pondered for a mont, unable to think of an appealing na, and resorted to a perfunctory title using “Empire”—just like when he nad the Imperial Grand Colosseum.
[Nad as: [First Ashen Empire Gladiator Tournant]]
[Faction activity released!]
…
On the Third Era, May 3, 1789, nearly 400,000 “Airez” players simultaneously received the faction activity notification.
This announcent ignited everyone’s enthusiasm.
Players were thrilled!
Suddenly, posts about the “Empire Gladiator Tournant” flooded the forums, and soon almost everyone was discussing this upcoming grand event.
“Holy crap?”
“The rewards are so generous! There are even titles and costus!”
“Is the official actually being generous for once?”
“I’m definitely participating!”
“I wanted to stay low-key, be a casual player, but now I have to reveal my top-tier mastery!”
“Yeah right, it’s just a toy for the powerful families and professional bigshots; we commoners will just watch for fun.”
“Is this the final major event of this version?”
The reason was simple: the rewards for this competition were exceptionally generous and unprecedented.
For example, the player who won the individual championship not only would receive substantial gold coin and experience rewards but also would obtain the special [Dragonfla Champion] title and outfit.
[Dragonfla Champion] would turn the player’s nickna golden-red, while also providing a precious point of charisma.
And the outfit was even more eye-catching, with a luxurious gold-plated exterior, intricate claw and fang carvings, a domineering wyvern-head shoulder guard, and even a pair of gently flapping fla wings on the back.
It was a visual spectacle!
