Chapter 508 -415: Guild Tournament
Compared to individual matches, major guilds and clubs paid more attention to guild battles.
Unlike individual matches where the rewards were more honorary, the prizes for guild battles were much more substantial.
The victorious guild not only claimed the prestigious “Champion Guild” title, but also received priority for various special missions. They might even be given imperial treatment.
Due to the participant requirements, smaller guilds were not qualified to compete in the guild battle.
As a result, the guild competition turned exceptionally brutal from the preliminary rounds, with only ten teams making it to the final showdown.
In this grand event, the most eye-catching were undoubtedly the few powerful families—Royalty, Mechanical God Cult, Magic Coin, and Sword Pavilion.
They were collectively referred to by forum players as the “Four Great Nobles.”
The first three were old guilds that had risen during the closed beta phase, each backed by real-world forces.
Sword Pavilion, however, emerged during the open beta, attracting a large number of local players with its unique “martial arts style” and shining brightly in the Northern War.
Its guild leader, Tian Xingjian, was even granted the title of Earl due to his remarkable achievements.
Any guild unfortunate enough to encounter these powerhouses was naturally doomed.
To this day, the Four Great Nobles maintained a 100% win rate in the preliminary rounds, nearly every match a crushing victory.
The earlier a guild started, the more advantage it had in resource competition, an indisputable truth. But there were also plenty of dark horses rising in the guild battles.
For example, the newly formed guild Rome Era led by the player Augustus, with a scale of over a thousand players, the majority of whom were elite Romans.
It was said their initial guild name was “Roman Empire,” which was changed after consultation with the Empire’s officials.
The red team in the ongoing guild battle was Rome Era.
The commentator’s voice sounded:
“The red team is the familiar guild—Rome Era. As we can see, they have perfectly recreated the image of the Roman Legion…”
On the battlefield, Rome Era’s players wore steel helmets adorned with red horse mane crests, red or white tunics, and sectional armor.
They held short swords, spears, and rectangular shields emblazoned with eagle motifs, and wore military boots.
The golden wreath-adorned eagle flag fluttered in the arena.
“Long live Rome! Long live Caesar!”
“Freedom, equality, law! Glory to Rome!”
At the forefront of the formation, Augustus, the centurion, raised the eagle flag and shouted slogans.
The players behind him held square shields, carrying heavy javelins, short swords, and spears, forming a neat three-row formation, looking quite imposing.
They perfectly recreated the Roman phalanx, even applying it on the battlefield, an ultimate cosplay.
Finishing with Rome Era, the commentator introduced the opposing team:
“The red team is Shushan Immortal Sect, whose motto is ‘A thousand guests drunk on blossoms, a single sword chills fourteen provinces’…”
“They are equally determined to win this match…”
The style of Shushan Immortal Sect could be inferred from the name alone.
Like Rome Era, Shushan Immortal Sect was also a cosplay-oriented guild, focusing on an Eastern cultivation style.
It was another dark horse that rose during the open beta.
However, due to the absence of the cultivator occupation in Erezer, its members were mostly magicians or mages.
They cast Tansen Floating Disk Technique, advanced magical weapons, and Light Spell on their “immortal swords” to present the effect of a Sword Immortal.
Their white-haired, white-robed leader, Taoist Master Taiqing, gazed at the Roman phalanx across and smiled disdainfully: “Hmph, Western barbarians are not worth fearing.”
“Let’s slay them with our immortal swords!”
“Mighty leader!”
“What leader? Taoist Master Taiqing is the sect leader of our Shushan Immortal Sect! You should say ‘mighty sect leader’!”
“Mighty sect leader!”
“Our Shushan Immortal Sect will achieve a grand victory and seize the championship in one fell swoop!”
“A thousand guests drunk on blossoms, a single sword chills fourteen provinces!”
Shushan Immortal Sect players stood on “flying swords,” floating in the air, looking down at the Roman phalanx.
Rome Era players were not to be outdone, holding square shields, looking up at their airborne enemies with fierce determination.
The air was thick with tension, but the sight of a “Sword Immortal” and the “Roman Legion” clashing was bizarre.
It felt like “Guan Yu battling aliens.”

“Three.”
“Two.”
“One.”
“Begin!”
With the referee’s words, the battle erupted.
“Long live Rome!”
“Pierce these fragile foes!”
The first row of the Rome Era phalanx advanced, charging with square shields, casting heavy javelins.
Shushan Sword Sect players quickly cast protective magic, a series of aurora-shielded barriers appeared in the air, blocking the javelins.
No, not magic, according to them it should be called “Taoist Magic.”
“A mere trick!”
Taoist Master Taiqing snorted coldly, reciting spell incantations pretentiously, casting Tansen Floating Disk Technique, Acceleration Spell, and advanced magical weapons.
No, it should be called sword-control technique.
Several gleaming flying swords descended from the sky, transforming into sword beams, slashing straight at Rome Era players.
“Swish—”
Square shields were sliced open, and the Roman players behind were decapitated.
