Ashen Dragon-Chapter 549 - 18 Preview

The video from the Empire Dueling Contest had gone viral again, this time reaching an unprecedented level of popularity!

Especially the elements like the “Roman Empire” and the “Mechanical God Cult” in the video, which not only made domestic players ecstatic but also attracted widespread attention from players overseas.

Mantou’s commentary video “Mechanical God Cult vs Roman Era” had reached a hundred million views on some platform.

After witnessing the guild wars, players from all regions followed the trail and continued to watch Mantou’s “Elzegai Diary” videos.

These videos brought them even greater shock, comparable to Columbus’s discovery of a new continent, introducing them to a brand-new fantasy world.

Could the freedom be this high?

The intelligence level of the NPCs was indistinguishable from that of real people?

Was the realism so profound that you could even do scientific research and invent things in the game?

As a result, “Erezer” caused a sensation worldwide, with tens of millions of players eagerly anticipating the next time Erezer would go live.

“Haaaah,” Mantou yawned, clicking on a game to give it a try.

But suddenly, his phone started “beeping” with notifications flooding in.

“@I’m Going to Eat Mantou!!”

“Mantou, you old thief!”

“Quick, go check it out! The official has released a promo video!”

“Come quick! Come quick!”

“Damn? It’s not just the Anzeta Great Wilderness this time, the Fianso Continent’s map has been unlocked too!”

Mantou burst into tears of joy, exiting the unknown game without hesitation and rushing to the official homepage.

“It’s coming!”

[Erezer: Version 2.0 – Kings’ Strife, about to launch!]

[In this server opening, we will make available all regions of Fianso Continent: Kingdom of Cassandra, Thrace Kingdom, Kingdom of Seleucis, Silver Moon Bay Free Trade Confederation, Serenia Elven Kingdom, High Mountain Dwarf Kingdom…

New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.

Reading this, Mantou couldn’t help but gape in amazement, his jaw almost dropping.

“Damn?”

“They’re opening so many new regions, this update is going to be earth-shattering!”

During the closed beta and the [Northern Wind and Cloud] version, players had only explored the Anzeta Great Wilderness, following the footsteps of the empire’s expansion, and already, it felt richly rewarding.

—After all, this wasteland covered five or six million square kilometers, exceeding most countries in reality.

And now, with the official opening of so many new areas, their scale was definitely larger than the Anzeta Great Wilderness, making this a true “open-world exploration” game.

Mantou rubbed his hands together excitedly, murmuring to himself.

“Even the message released in advance is this explosive, what will this trailer be like?”

“Come on!”

With trembling fingers, he clicked the mouse, opening the [Watch Video] button.

As soon as he clicked on the video, the familiar black screen appeared, filled with a dense barrage of comments, and this time it was not only in Chinese but also in various languages from around the world.

“Here it comes!”

“Wow, they finally released the trailer!”

“Veteran beta players, to arms!”

“It wasn’t easy!”

“The damn official playing dead every day.”

“I can’t wait any longer! Let me in! I want to play Erezer!”

An ethereal female voice resonated, as if narrating a tragic epic, while the screen suddenly brightened.

What appeared on the screen was a magnificent white wall, with towering high spires hundreds of meters tall, prosperity and beauty within the city, people’s faces brimming with happy smiles.

The Divine Descendant Legion, composed of titans and angels, was imposing, gathering beside the high tower.

At the top of the high spire, on the glorious Sun Disk, appeared a towering figure wearing a crown, with wings on his back, in golden armor.

He stood proud, resting the longsword in his hand on the ground.

Around him, hundreds of arcanists in golden-red robes chanted spell incantations in low voices, the light from the Sun Disk growing ever more dazzling.

Suddenly, the sun hanging in the sky released a blinding light, making the disk glow as if it were the Divine Realm.

A golden majestic figure descended from the heavens, roaring angrily, with eyes filled with endless radiance that glared down at the people on the high tower.

The background music also became sacred and grand with his appearance, like a hymn during prayer.

“HAHAHAHA!”

“Holy Fadlan shall stride towards eternity with me!”

The music abruptly intensified, and a tremendous explosion engulfed everyone, as infinite light and heat surged in the sky.

And the original sun faded in an instant, turning the whole sky into a dark red color like blood.

“BOOM—”

The hundreds of meters tall tower collapsed with a thunderous fall, slowly crashing to the ground, debris and Flowing Flame bursting towards the earth, people in the city panicked, fleeing desperately from the terrifying disaster.

The land was scorched, houses destroyed, smoke and ash swept through the entire city.

Amidst the cries of women and children and the wailing of men, that familiar voice-over appeared again.

“Aragon the First, in his foolish attempt to replace the Sun God, killed himself and brought destruction upon the Empire he had built.

With the thunderous collapse of the Eternal Sun God Tower, the Holy Fardel Empire that had ruled the Fianso Continent for a hundred years declared its end.”

“Holy shit? Big move!”

“The start is this explosive?”

“So looking forward to it!”

“Wasn’t he just fighting the Northern Allied Forces, and now he’s heading straight for the Divine?”

“This must be Sunrise City – Teotihuacan, I’ve heard about it from the Thrace People who come to the Empire for business.”

A desolate, mournful melody rose, giving people an inexplicable sense of desolation.

The scene suddenly changed, it was still the Holy City, but now it was no longer its glorious past, turned into a broken mess with ruins everywhere.

On that once-rich and fertile land, the earth was riddled with holes, bodies piled up like mountains, blood flowed in torrents, gathering into crimson rivers.

The voice-over continued: “On the remains of Holy Fadlan, the Three Great Kingdoms of Thrace, Cassandra, and Seleucis waged the Tri-Emperor Battle, stopping at nothing to seize the Empire’s legacy, brewing countless tragedies on this land…

The former Holy City was destroyed overnight, once brothers and sisters killing each other, it was a sorrowful era, an era filled with blood and death.”
