1455 Fiery Locust Swarm
"Surely, they are not going to give up the chance to defeat the famous Demon Sealing Faction, right? After all, we're only twelve people." Yuan chuckled through the phone, leaving Chairman Lee utterly speechless.
"Are you seriously going to challenge the Fiery Locust Swarm to a Faction War? You might have to go against hundreds if not thousands of them with just twelve of you." Chairman Lee asked, his voice filled with disbelief.
"Yes, I am serious," Yuan replied, his voice filled with determination.
"..."
A moment of silence later, Chairman Lee sighed, "Very well, I will send your challenge request to the Fiery Locust Swarm, but before I can do that, I need to know the details of the challenge. As the challenger, you may set your terms for the match, such as limiting the amount of participants and the suggested challenge mode."
"Since this is my first time participating in a Faction War, much less challenging another faction, can you run me through it?"
"Of course."
"First thing's first: What mode do you want to fight them in? We have siege mode, tower defense mode, war mode, capture the flag mode, scavenger mode, and tournament mode. Since you only have twelve members, I suggest doing tournament or scavenger mode, but most factions tend to avoid these two modes because they won't be able to take advantage of their member counts. The Fiery Locust Swarm will definitely reject your challenge if you request either of these modes."
"I thought we couldn't select our match conditions?" Yuan asked.
"That's only true if you're within ten ranks of your opponent and you're aiming for their rank. Since the Demon Sealing Faction is currently unranked, the Fiery Locust Swarm can refuse your challenge without any consequences, so the rules are much more relaxed. Of course, they can still lose their rank if they are defeated."
"I see… can you give me a brief explanation of the available modes?"
Chairman Lee nodded and explained, "In siege mode, each faction will possess a castle, and the objective is to conquer the opposing castle and kill their 'ruler' for victory. The 'ruler' can not join any battles or fight back, only run. There is no player limit for this mode, but there must be at least 1,000 total players on the field."
"In tower defense mode, each faction controls five towers. The first one to control all five towers or the most towers before time runs out will win. There is no player limit for this mode, but there must be at least 100 total players on the field."
"In war mode, it mirrors a conflict with equitable conditions, with both factions engaging in battle on a field with evenly matched soldiers of comparable cultivation levels. The first faction to lose all soldiers will lose. However, you won't be able to participate in this unless you can match your opponent's soldiers' prowess and number and vice versa. You need at least 100 players from each faction to participate, but there is no player limit."
"Capture the flag is similar to siege mode, but you must steal the enemy's flag and bring it back to your base before they can do the same to your flag. Each faction is limited to 300 players in this mode."
"In scavenger mode, both factions will scavenge items scattered across a spacious field and bring them back to base, with each retrieved item granting points. As long as the item hasn't been retrieved, the opponent can steal it. The one with the highest point in the end wins. Each faction is limited to 30 players in this mode."
"Last but not least, tournament mode. In this mode, both factions will select their strongest members to fight against each other on a traditional stage. The fights will be one-on-
one, and the winner of the match may continue fighting in the second match until they lose. The first one to defeat all of their opponent's fighters will win. Each faction is limited to 10 players."
"For all of these modes except tournament mode, each participant will wear a badge that represents their life. If one's badge is destroyed, they are considered dead, can no longer participate in the match, and will be removed from the battlefield. This keeps the participants from purposefully aiming at each other's necks, keeping them safe. Also, the weapons provided cannot slice flesh but can break bones."
"I'm impressed. This is pretty well thought out. It sounded dangerous at first, but it turned out to be quite safe." Yuan said.
"Of course. Faction War is akin to sports nowadays, after all. While we have had some casualties, some accidents cannot be avoided when everyone is a cultivator."
"Alright, give me a moment to think now," Yuan said.
A few minutes later, he spoke, "Let's do sige mode."
"What about the number of players? You need at least 1,000 total players to participate, so with 12 members on your side, your enemy needs to have at least 988 players."
Yuan smiled and said, "No limit. They can bring all 40,000 of their members if they want."
"What…? But that's…" Chairman Lee was left speechless by Yuan's arrogance.
Even Bai Lianhua and Yu Rou couldn't help but stare at him with wide eyes, as if they were looking at a madman.
"I'm serious. I want them to attack us with full force."
"If that's truly what you want…"
"It is," Yuan confirmed.
"I understand…"
"Any cultivation limit?"
"Nope."
"What about martial techniques? Do you want to allow the usage of martial techniques?"
ƈοm
"Of course.""When would you like to challenge them?"
"Right now, and give them until tomorrow midnight to respond. If they accept, can you schedule the match to start within a few days?"
"A few days? That's quite the rush, but it's possible if we push all scheduled matches back a day. It will probably upset the other factions, though—actually, probably not. I'm sure they'll understand. This is the famous Demon Sealing Faction's debut, after all!"
"Alright, I have all the information I need. I will notify the Fiery Locust Swarm of your challenge right away."
"Thank you, Chairman Lee. To show my gratitude, I'll donate some techniques to the Cultivators' Association later," said Yuan.
