The Death List Novel - Chapter 254
Chapter 254 Wheel Of Heaven
This time, there were three apostle cities, namely, the Corner of the Devil, the Kingdom of the Sword, and Tyrant City. Apart from that, there were five or six small floating cities participating in the battle, and seventeen of them were intelligent races.
The death list didn’t contain any details about the battle between mid-level and above apostles. All that Qin Lun knew was about the battle between junior apostles. There were more than 800 junior apostles participating in this battle. Each of the three apostolic cities had about 200 spots, and the remaining 200 spots were divided among the five or six small and medium-sized floating cities.
Not all of the 800-odd beginner apostles were gathered together, but they were divided into four isolated battlefields, each with about 200 people. Once the battle began, unless the apostles died or they voluntarily abandoned the soul binding of the invitation, they could only stay in isolated areas until the battle was over.
The duration of the battle was limited to two weeks. Apart from their own equipment and a small amount of healing treasures, the 800 Elementary Apostles were not allowed to bring any healing items, as well as food and water into the battlefield.
During the battle, the apostles’ storage space, guild warehouses, and guild channels were all sealed off, and even communication equipment was temporarily sealed off. The apostles of the same city and group would be scattered as far as possible in different areas of the shattered starry sky.
In other words, unless you’re lucky enough to find a code in the same area as your companion. Otherwise, the apostles would not be able to communicate with each other and form organized warring groups.
Because the battle lasted for a long time and was held within the Broken Star System, the Broken Star System treated this battle as a mission world. After the Battle of Hegemony was over, the apostles would be evaluated based on their battle performance and resource harvest.
When Qin Lun saw that the rules forbade him from bringing food and drinking water, he was immediately shocked. He rubbed his waist and smiled bitterly. He had all the equipment on him, and even the short Adith staff he had just obtained was in his arms. However, a small parcel that was originally tied around his waist had disappeared without a trace.
Inside this package were some ordinary food and water bags. They were not recovery items, they were only food for the stomach.
Even though the apostles had a nomological body, their daily activities still consumed energy. This energy consumption also required food supplementation, and if the apostles did not eat or drink for a long time, their HP and Vitality would slowly decrease. To a certain extent, even the basic attributes of the body would shrink, and they would die of hunger and thirst like ordinary people.
“Looks like our first challenge here is to fill our stomachs!” Qin Lun’s expression was somewhat solemn. He hadn’t expected that the battle for survival mentioned in the Broken Star Sky would actually include this content.
Actually, he wasn’t entirely to blame. He hadn’t worried about food in all four mission worlds that Qin Lun had crossed. Even in the Nars World, they still had a map of plants and animals in their hands. After hunting, they could exchange for food in the shelter camp. Besides, they also had a true expert in wilderness survival, Disciple Hansen, who didn’t have to worry about camping outside occasionally.
The Holy City of Atlantis had been abandoned for some time, and it was unknown if there was any food left in the city that could be eaten. Although there were wildlife everywhere, hunting during the War of Tyranny would obviously cause great trouble for the apostles.
Whether it was searching for Atlantis food reserves or hunting down these animals and plants, it would give hidden enemies an opportunity to take advantage of them. Due to the scarcity of recovery items, Qin Lun had originally planned to find a place to hide and watch the battle as soon as he entered the battlefield. Wait until the last few days before coming out to clean up the mess.
But now that he had to come out from time to time to search for food and hunt, this easiest plan would naturally fail. At the same time, in order to avoid being discovered by some apostles and ambushed, he had to constantly change his resting place during the hunt.
“Truly troublesome!” Qin Lun pinched his nose in frustration and turned around to search the apartment again, hoping to find some food.
Unfortunately, when the original owner left, he took away most of the food. There was only a small amount of raw meat left in the refrigerator in the kitchen, and it had long rotted away.
“Boom!” Just as Qin Lun was about to leave the apartment, a loud explosion came from afar.
Qin Lun rushed to the window and opened the curtains to look out. He immediately saw a black smoke in the distance.
“It’s about two hundred meters away from here. It should be caused by fire magic!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up, and a trace of mockery quickly appeared on his face. “Arrogant idiot!”
No matter how many invitations he received, he would still have to wait for the battle to end before he could obtain the collateral inside. The battle for supremacy would last for an entire two weeks. Even if they won all the battles at the beginning, there was no point other than exhausting their magic power and magic scroll reserves.
Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and said, “Right now, the battle has just begun. Someone is going to fight. That place should attract a group of warlike apostles. Perhaps this is the best chance for me to carry out that plan!”
Thinking of this, Qin Lun no longer hesitated. Instead of being cautious and careful, he pushed open the window with a “bang” and jumped out of the apartment.
The apartment was located on the fourth floor of the residential building. After Qin Lun jumped out of the window, he happened to be in the air. Seeing that he was about to fall, a black figure shot out from the youth’s left hand. With a “ding” sound, it clasped onto the balcony railing of the apartment above.
Using the convenience of the claw chain, Qin Lun quickly climbed onto the rooftop of the apartment building. He used his Heavenly Spirit Eye to scan the surroundings, and immediately rushed in the opposite direction of the battle …
“Hu!” A figure fell from the sky and landed in a messy alley. The alley is at the back door of a restaurant that used to dump slop in drains and is now full of lush weeds.
The silhouette carried a package that seemed to be tied up with a tablecloth around his waist, and he held a wine bottle in his hand. Looking at his tiptoeing appearance, he almost had the word thief carved on his face. However, the silhouette clearly did not feel that he was stealing something. Taking it without complaint was considered stealing. Taking something that did not have a master, how could it be considered stealing?
“There are only three bottles of wine left in such a big restaurant!” Qin Lun sighed, raised his head and gulped down a mouthful.
“It’s still strong liquor!” Qin Lun gritted his teeth and stuffed the wine bottle into his arms. He looked around and muttered to himself, “We’ve already been shopping around. The environment is almost familiar. We should be able to find the exact location from the map now!”
Qin Lun walked to the side of the alley and sat down against the wall, sinking his mind into the list of the dead. Very quickly, a 3D projection of the city map appeared in front of him. If any living Atlanteans saw this projection of the city, they would definitely be able to recognize that this was a stereoscopic image of the Holy City of Atlantis.
Qin Lun had made all kinds of preparations before the battle for supremacy in the city. These preparations are not only related to equipment and items, but also to battle plans in various situations, and city maps are the basic parts of all battle plans.
This map came from the Abyss Devils. Although Atlantis Holy City was not destroyed by an outsider, the intelligent races that invaded the Atlantis Continent were also unable to enter the city because they were held hostage by many forces. However, after so many years of fighting with the Atlanteans, it wasn’t difficult for them to obtain a map of the Holy City.
Qin Lun spent three whole nights carving the projection of the entire city map into the list of the dead through memories and calculations. And now, he was going to use what he had seen and heard in the Battle of Hegemony area in the past ten minutes to find this Battle of Hegemony area from the city map.
“I found it! Eh, this big restaurant behind me seems to be quite famous in the past!” Qin Lun smiled and fell back into deep thought.
He was in the northern city of Atlantis, where there used to be a large apostolic team called the Wheel of Heaven.
Due to their unique historical origins, Atlantis formed a different apostolic team from the large apostolic teams in the traditional apostolic cities. The large apostle guild in Atlantis was not actually called a guild, but rather a complete legion of warriors.
At its peak, the Wheel of Heaven had more than 4,000 apostles, ranging from preparatory apostles to legendary apostles.
There were only five large legions of apostles in the Holy City of Atlantis. All apostles, be they beginner, middle, or high-level, were included in this system.
These five disciplined legions of apostles were not only Atlantis’ magic treasures of victory, but also the culprit of Atlantis’ eventual destruction.
The legion system allowed Atlantis to gather a large amount of resources and apostolic combat power, and the large apostolic teams at the Horn of Devils were like children and adults before these apostolic legions. Individual teams were no match for them at all. They could not work together because of their own interests.
The problem, however, is that this highly binding legion of apostles is not sustainable. The high-ranking apostles in the legion weren’t much. They had passed through the most difficult stage of creation with the Atlanteans, and they knew very well that they could only protect their homeland if they were united.
The new apostles who entered Atlantis later would not be able to accept it. Not only would they have to face the dangerous mission world, they would also have to go to the battlefield as cannon fodder after returning to Atlantis. Not only was his personal freedom restricted, he also had to hand over some of the mission profits to the legion.
How could the apostles, who had been struggling to the brink of death, accept such an abduction willingly? It would be good if ordinary people didn’t have the ability to resist, but once the apostles entered the mission world, no one would be able to control them.
As a result, the new apostles who entered Atlantis in the later stages began to cross the seas in the Eight Immortals Mission World, displaying their divine abilities. Some of them joined other continents’ apostle groups and were taken away. Some people tried their best to obtain invisible items in the mission world, and after returning to Atlantis, they quietly fled the Holy City.
In just a few decades, the large apostolic army of the Holy City of Atlantis had fallen into disarray and eventually led to the destruction of the Atlantis civilization.
“Half of the headquarters of the Wheel of Heaven might not be in our junior battle zone!” “However, they should have a legion branch in this area. The sooner they find this branch, the higher the success rate of that plan!” Qin Lun’s eyes shone brightly as he swept his fingers across the city’s projection. “But, they should have a legion branch in this area. The sooner they find this branch, the higher the success rate of that plan!”
