Chapter 786 The war game begins!

Three days passed in a flash. Because of the war game between Hestia and Apollo, the whole of Orario was as lively as a festival.

In order to watch this game, almost all the adventurers in the entire labyrinth city chose to take a vacation today.

In order to make this game more interesting, the gods even spent a lot of effort to create a different space that was a one-to-one restoration of Orario.

The participants of Hestia and Apollo entered the different space to play the game. Once they were seriously injured or judged to be unable to continue fighting, they would be forcibly kicked out of the different space.

In order to let everyone see this grand ceremony, the gods also prepared projection magic in various places in the labyrinth city, and even let the gods who were best at stirring up the atmosphere be the hosts, which can be said to be the ultimate way of playing.

"Hey, Hestia, I really didn't expect that you could find so many helpers in such an overwhelming disadvantageous situation.

In addition to that child, it seems that you have found a lot of good stuff to help, and I want to thank you for this.

Because these helpers you found will soon become my things."

Before the game started, when Apollo saw Hestia bringing Wood and others into the venue, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed an extremely excited expression. He looked at Ais and others, laughed and licked his lips with his tongue.

"Hey, Apollo, please don't look at my Ais and others with such disgusting eyes!"

For Apollo's disgusting expression, Hestia hadn't spoken yet, and Loki on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

A perverted guy like Apollo, what's in his head, anyone can guess.

And Ais and others are all beautiful girls among his followers. When Loki thought about being fantasized by a bastard like Apollo, he couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"Your Ais-chan? No, no, no, it won't be soon, because after this "war game", Sword Princess will become mine.

Loki, I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to choose to help Hestia. Is it because she has caught you?

You clearly knew that it was a losing situation, but you still sent Sword Princess and the Amazon sisters to help Hestia's followers. I think you are eager to give me benefits."

To be honest, Apollo was a little nervous and surprised when he saw "Sword Princess" and others appear in the team behind Hestia at first.

After all, everyone in Orario knew the relationship between Hestia and Loki.

Loki would help Hestia, which was undoubtedly as unbelievable as the sun rising from the west.

And when he saw clearly that the people from Loki's followers who came to help Hestia's followers were only four people including "Sword Princess", Apollo instantly calmed down.

To be honest, if Loki's followers really helped Hestia, Apollo would be afraid.

After all, Loki's followers are one of the strongest followers in Orario, and their followers are the best in Orario in terms of quality and quantity.

If Loki's followers really helped Hestia's followers, then Apollo's followers would be in real danger this time.

And now Loki actually chose to help Hestia, but he only sent four "Sword Princesses", so there is only one possibility, that is, Loki has a handle in Hestia's hands, so he has to choose to compromise.

"Humph, wait until you beat the poor god dwarf!"

Seeing Loki walking away with a face, Apollo felt more confident in his heart. He was sure that Loki was just angry.

However, he didn't know that Loki just didn't want to waste time with idiots, so as not to be dragged down by the other party.

"Sword Princess, Great Severing, Angry Snake, and Thousand Spirits?

Hestia, you are lucky. In this situation, you can still find a few guys who are more capable.

But that's all. My victory will not be shaken by this. I even have to thank you for dragging Sword Princess and others into the water and making them my property."

"And I didn't expect that you were so hungry that you even dragged the waitress of the Orario Tavern to help you?

Well, except for that old lady, the other girls looked quite delicious, so I took them all."

The adventurers of Loki's followers are quite famous. Whether it is Aisi, the Amazon sisters, or even Lefiya, who is only LV3, they were all recognized by Apollo at a glance.

But except for Aisi and the others, Apollo didn't take the others seriously.

Welf and Yamato, just low-level adventurers, characters like little Karami.

As for Ryu and Anya, there is no need to say more. Adventurers who often visit the "Hostes of Abundance" naturally know that they are just "ordinary" shop assistants and tavern owners.

"Apollo, stop talking nonsense. You will soon find out how ridiculous your confidence is.

Just like you vowed to launch the "War Game" before, and then you were scared when Wood suddenly came back."

Faced with Hestia's retort, Apollo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the guild staff.

Aegina, the notary of this event, also stepped forward to the middle of the two followers, and looked at Hestia and Apollo and said: "Lady Hestia, Lord Apollo, the time is almost up. If you are ready, the "War Game" can officially begin.

First of all, in addition to the list of participants, the two of you must decide in advance the roles of both parties as "ghosts."

Because of the rules of the game, both followers must be selected to play the key role of "ghosts."

And as expected, both sides also chose the leaders of their respective followers, Wood Arando and Hyacinthus.

After selecting the candidates for the war game, the people of Hestia's followers and Apollo's followers were all thrown into the maze city that was restored one to one.

And it was at this time that everyone realized why Apollo was so confident before.

Because compared to the 15 people that Hestia's followers had finally gathered, the number of participants on Apollo's side actually reached an astonishing 500!

You should know that the original Apollo family had only more than a hundred people, but this time the number of people participating in the game was three times the original number.

When seeing the number of Apollo's family members participating, the gods present looked at Apollo with a hint of contempt.

Although the game rules did not explicitly prohibit the game loophole of seeking external aid, facing the game rules that were originally very favorable to him, Apollo still did this, which was really a bit of bullying.

Of course, contempt is contempt, but the gods have to admire Apollo's communication skills and means.

Although most of the combat forces temporarily joined by Apollo's family are some LV1 and LV2 adventurers, there is basically no high-end combat power.

But the so-called ants bite the elephant to death, and the rules of this war game are very favorable to the advantage of numbers, so in the eyes of the gods, the chances of Apollo's family winning this time have increased a lot again.

In fact, it is not just the gods who think so, because of the war game between Hestia's followers and Apollo's followers, many casinos in the labyrinth city have opened and become bankers.

When the projection magic saw the mighty adventurer team of Apollo's followers, the odds of winning for Apollo's followers and Hestia's followers were also extremely different.

The odds of Apollo's winning were 0.5 to 1, while the odds of winning for Hestia's followers were as high as 2 to 1.

"Hestia, you can't blame me for this. Everyone knew that my followers would win, and I didn't say much, but they lent me the people.

Or you should just admit defeat directly, after all, there is not much point in struggling to the death."

Looking at the discussions around him and the huge difference in the odds, Apollo felt that he had already won, so he looked proud at the moment.

"Hmph, other followers are rushing to lend you people, but I don't think so. With your character, Apollo, the characters you can borrow are just guys whose names you can't remember.

What's the use of having more people? After all, they are just a mob and can never be opponents of Wood and his team."

Hestia's sneer hit Apollo's sore spot directly, and even made his whole face cold instantly.

Apollo was naturally aware of the weaknesses of his team, but he had no choice. If he could find stronger adventurers, who would find some shoddy ones to fill the numbers?

Thinking of this, Apollo looked at Freya who was watching from the sidelines with great anger.

Originally, Freya's followers, in addition to the "brave" Ota, had promised to send a few LV6 and LV5 to make up for their lack of top combat power.

But who knew that just before the war game started, Freya's followers actually went back on their word, preferring to pay a large amount of liquidated damages and calling all the people back.

Apollo didn't know the reason for Freya's change of attitude, but he didn't think it was Hestia's work, after all, the loli god didn't have such a brain.

If someone really tripped him up, it would be either Wood's child, or Loki who stood on Hestia's side this time.

Of course, although the situation was not as good as he expected, the current situation was still overwhelmingly favorable to them.

No matter how strong the "Great Sage" and "Sword Princess" were, they were only a few people after all.

They had as many as 500 people on their side, and even if they used the method of piling up the number of people, they could directly tire Wood and the others to death.

As for the female clerks of the "Mistress of Abundance" and Bell and the others? I'm sorry, from the beginning, Apollo didn't take these small characters seriously.

How strong can a few LV2s who just got out of the novice hat be? Not to mention the girls who work as waitresses in the tavern, they probably don't even know how to use weapons.

At the beginning of the "War Game", two projection magics like water mirrors appeared in front of the gods, which made it convenient for the gods to watch the situation of both sides and to monitor whether there was any cheating on both sides.

In the two water mirrors, the dependents of both sides also gathered together at this moment, and they were not in a hurry to attack each other, but were in a meeting.

After all, the so-called "ghost hunting game" lasted for a whole week. Now it was not a 1V1 duel, but a battle between two teams, which naturally required strategy and layout.

On the side of Apollo's followers, Hyacinthus, who was chosen as the "ghost", spread out the map of Orario and calmly issued orders.

First of all, he, who was chosen as the "ghost" this time, did not intend to appear on the battlefield in person, because once the "ghost" was caught or defeated by the opponent, no matter how many people there were, it would be instantly judged as a failure.

So Hyacinthus's strategy was to hide in a safe place in the rear, and let a trusted person pass on his orders for him.

Out of caution, Hyacinthus did not even intend to tell his own people present where his hiding place would be.

After all, if the "ghost" hides well, it is also one of the keys to winning this game.

If everyone knew where Hyacinthus was hiding, then if the "Sword Princess" tortured him, or someone mastered the ability of mental control or even hypnosis, wouldn't he be exposed?

In addition to hiding himself as a "ghost", Hyacinthus also chose another fifteen trusted people to hide in various corners of Orario.

As for why there are fifteen people, the reason is actually very simple, that is, Hyacinthus has not forgotten another condition in the winning rules of the game.

Once the game time is over, if the "ghosts" of both sides are still alive, the winner will be determined by the remaining number of people.

There are only fifteen people in Hestia's followers plus the "Great Sage" who was selected as a ghost.

This means that even if the Apollo followers fail to find a way to defeat Wood after a week, or even cannot eliminate a single person from Hestia's followers, they can still grasp the most basic victory.

Because Hyacinthus plus the other fifteen people who are hiding, there are a total of sixteen people. No matter how unfavorable the battle situation is, they can basically be invincible.

As for the remaining more than four hundred people, Hyacinthus divided them into ten groups and conducted a carpet search of the entire Orario from all directions.

It would be best if the "Great Sage" who is a "ghost" could be eliminated directly, but if it is not possible, Hyacinthus will not force it.

As long as they can reduce the number of opponents as much as possible before the time is up, making their victory more unshakable, it will be a good thing.

In terms of individual combat power, perhaps no one on their side is a match for the "Great Sage" or even the "Sword Princess".

But if more than 400 people are divided into ten groups, there will be at least more than 40 people in each group.

Even for LV4 and LV5 adventurers, it is not an easy task to defeat them when they encounter so many people alone.
