"Sorry, I don't need Cangtian Guild's...friendship!"

Zhao Hao knew that no matter how nice he said it, he was just trying to recruit him. Did he really think he couldn't see through this trick?

It's true that joining a guild gives you the support of powerful people, but it also means you have to obey.

Therefore, let alone the Cangtian Guild, even Furong, the overlord of the Xia Kingdom, would not be able to join.

Although it was better to lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade, he made this choice before his rebirth, and the result...

This time, how could he make the same mistake again?

Therefore, it is natural to reject the 'friendship' of the Cangtian Guild.

"you you!"

Mr. Long was surprised.

Before coming, he felt that it was completely impossible for Zhao Hao to refuse this offer. If they belonged to the same force in the future, he would have little chance of revenge.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Hao would refuse so simply.

This situation is just like an ordinary academic in reality rejecting a certain high-paying invitation.

Although Tianzhi was equally surprised, he didn't show it like Young Master Long. He just reminded lightly:

"No one will ever refuse the friendship of Cangtian Guild!"

This means that if you reject friendship, you choose to be an enemy.

"Isn't there the first one now?"

Zhao Hao seemed not to hear the threat in the other party's words.

The Cangtian Guild will indeed be very strong in the future, but it is no more than that now. Coupled with such a condescending attitude, do you really think that you are a weakling and can be manipulated as you please?

"You ungrateful animal!"

Young Master Long shouted in ecstasy.

Once the two sides are enemies, it will be easy for him to seek revenge, so he said this specifically to cut off Zhao Hao's chance to change his tune.

As for his little thoughts, several people in the private room saw it, but no one stopped him.

Cold Moon Rose can't stop it, she doesn't want to get involved.

Long Ting is not qualified to stop it, he is not the one making the decision now.

The Heavenly Blade didn't want to stop him. If Zhao Hao agreed to join or had a slight change of attitude, he would stop him. But not only did the other party not do it, but his attitude was cold, so naturally he didn't want to speak.

"You brought people to trouble me and I taught you a lesson. Now tell me, are you trying to give me face by reconciling the two parties?"

Zhao Hao's tone improved a little.

What bothers him the most is the way these forces are aloof and superior. The same is true for the Tianhai Group who forcibly demolished their own houses, and the same is true for the Cangtian Guild.

Before his rebirth, he was powerless and had no way to resist such a thing.

But he didn't want to go on like that in this life, he just faced it and it was over.

"You don't think that by entering the group stage of the Hero Competition and using the special terrain of goblins and jungles to defeat the Dragon Court Guild, you are qualified to fight against the Cangtian Guild, right?"

Young Master Long showed a proud smile.

"Of course not, but Thirty Years River...But nothing is eternal in the world of heroes. If I had this strength that day, it wouldn't be certain, right?"

Zhao Hao almost said that famous saying, switching directly from online games to fantasy.

Well, the Cangtian Guild is very strong, he admits this, but with the Storm Territory and Broken Star Islands in hand, in terms of potential, he is far superior to the other party, how could he be timid.

"I hope you won't regret it in the future!"

Heavenly Blade got up and took Long Ting away.

"I really want to see you begging me for mercy. Are you so brave?"

Mr. Long left with a harsh word.

He has never been angry like this since he was a child. Now that revenge is expected, he is in a good mood.

After the three people left, Hanyue Rose reminded them.

"Actually, you don't have to accept the other party's friendship!"

"I know!"

Of course Zhao Hao understood that if he spoke tactfully, he could reconcile with Mr. Long, but he still said the same thing.

Why?

The other party has always been condescending, as if reconciliation is a gift to themselves.

Therefore, this negotiation was doomed to failure from the beginning.

"I see…!"

Hanyue Rose saw the confident light in Zhao Hao's eyes, so she stopped talking about it and turned to other aspects.

I have to say that there are indeed reasons why people are successful.

Chatting with him is extremely pleasant, and inadvertently looking into his charming eyes can even make your heart beat faster involuntarily.

Goblin!

No wonder Baihuahui has some problems and countless big bosses have jumped out. This rank is indeed high.

Anyway, Zhao Hao left the Dragon and Beauty Tavern after receiving a system reminder that the group stage was about to begin.

Come to the arena.

Buzz!

After passing through the light curtain, the field of vision begins to change.

Player channel!

What appeared in front of him was a lane of players with only himself.

"System prompt: The group stage adopts a 1vs1 competition system within the group, and two winners will be selected to enter the top 16. The detailed rules are..."

Perhaps in order not to give players a chance to prepare in advance, the rules were not given until the beginning of the group stage.

1vs1 intra-group battle!

16 players are selected from eight groups, and the group leader who advances will play against the second place player outside this group.

The rules are extremely detailed, the game map has been greatly reduced, and the available arms at the start have been increased.

In general, the time given to players to snowball is reduced, and the probability of winning or losing from the beginning is increased.

There is also a hero mode and a personal battle mode available.

Hero mode means that players are prohibited from participating in battles in any form, and victory or defeat is determined by military types. In individual battles, soldiers are not allowed to appear, and victory is determined by individual combat.

This way there will be more points to look at.

'More of a personal mode?'

After Zhao Hao thought about it for a while, he understood that the rules were more beneficial to players in the individual route.

In one-on-one situations, there is no way to use other players to help. At the same time, the map becomes smaller, which also means that the time to scan the map is reduced, and the chance of encountering an opponent is greatly increased.

If you only take the heroic route, you will have a high chance of failure if you encounter a reckless opponent at the beginning.

As for operational ability, we have already done it in the qualifiers, and now we have to show other aspects.

Tactical command, personal combat effectiveness, attribute bonuses, etc.

The good news is that there are rewards starting from the group stage. Even if you are eventually eliminated in the group stage, you can still get a part of the prize pool and system rewards. It is not like leaving empty-handed.

Beep!

The troop interface and treasure interface appear.

At the beginning, the contestants are given 1,000 military points, which can be redeemed from the nine major camp arms.

The first level of troops requires 1 point of military strength, and the strength of each level is doubled.

In other words, the tenth-level unit requires 512 troops.

Note that 1 point of military strength refers to the exchange of first-level troops such as spearmen and centaurs.

If you exchange for weak first-level troops such as goblins, big ears, and little monsters, you may be able to exchange for a few units for 1 point of military strength.

The purpose of not fixing the types of troops is to allow players to use their own strengths or special tactics.

"good chance!"

A tactic came to Zhao Hao's mind and he quickly made a choice.

32 units of level 6 royal griffins, level 1 treasure counterattack horn.

After selecting the troops and treasures, a group of snow-white and golden raptors with eagle wings and lion bodies appeared in the passage behind Zhao Hao.

Royal gryphon!

Phew!

A low cry came from the raptors, which were more than two meters tall at the shoulders. They were also eager to fight next.

"Hero Contest, here I come!"
Chapter completed!
