Chapter 5 Invitation Letter
"In this way, many things can indeed be explained!" Qin Lun nodded slightly, "Then is Atlantis a suspended continent that was teleported into the broken starry sky as a whole?"
"Well!" Mafa seemed to feel that he had deviated from the subject, so he went back and said, "Perhaps because of this continental teleportation that Atlantis maintained the world laws of the original civilization, so the humans on it did not become apostles.
However, due to the space-time storm during the teleportation process and its collision with the laws of the broken starry sky, Atlantis lost more than 90% of its population as soon as it appeared. In the first century, humans on Atlantis had been struggling on the brink of life and death. They not only had to fight against wild creatures and natural disasters, but also endured the invasion of hunger and epidemics!
Atlantis humans during this period showed unimaginable courage and strength. They united together and established a solid base in the continental plains, and slowly reproduced and thrived under the leadership of a few apostles who were teleported into Atlantis.
Because the intelligent races on other hanging continents of the broken starry sky were not known at this period, the star gate coordinates of Atlantis were not known, so they were not invaded by other hanging continents and spent the first hundred years safely.
After Atlantis entered the second century, the humans above also began a period of great development. During this century, they not only cleared the large wild creature nests on Atlantis, but also established many cities. The population gradually returned to its heyday. When it was its strongest, it was said that there were tens of millions of humans on it.
The Holy City of Atlantis in the center of the mainland was built during this period! There are a total of millions of humans and tens of thousands of apostles living there, and their strength is no less than that of any apostle city.
During this century, the surrounding suspended continents have gradually learned about the star gate coordinates of Atlantis and have fought several continental hegemony with Atlantis.
In these continental hegemony battles, Atlantis achieved major victories with an extremely strong population base and the sincere cooperation of tens of thousands of apostles, and successively occupied several nearby suspended continents, stabilizing its position in the broken starry sky.
However, when the Atlantis were full of confidence and entered the third century, the shortcomings of the inexperienced new races appeared! Like all the intelligent races in the ancient times of the Broken Starry Sky, they made the same fatal mistake!
Humans in Atlantis ignored the iron law of the wise race of the broken starry sky and the apostles, or they had not had time to understand the cruelty of this iron law.
They obeyed the orders of higher-level apostles, but were too arrogant to the primary apostles, which led to the higher-level apostles in the holy city often exploiting the primary apostles. As a result, those primary apostles had to go to other suspended continents to find a place to settle down again.
In Atlantis, there are many humans. For their respective group interests, the teams of high-level apostles were driven to fight with each other and internal conflicts were endless.
When most of the high-level apostles fell in the mission world and internal warfare, and the apostle team had no time to replenish new blood, the Atlantis' foreign war began to fail one after another. They soon lost the nearby suspended continent and were gradually invaded by other intelligent races.
What is most regrettable is that the holy city of the Atlantis was not destroyed by foreign wars, but was destroyed in internal strife! More than half of the population and tens of thousands of apostles in the holy city were involved in that civil war, and Atlantis's most dazzling civilization pearl fell!
As a whole civilization, the Atlantis people only lasted for three hundred years in the broken starry sky!" Mafa shook his head with emotion, "They were like a dazzling meteor, which emitted only a brief dazzling light and disappeared into the long river of history!"
"Later, what's next!" Qin Lun's eyes glowed, and he heard with relish. Seeing Mafa stopping his words, he immediately asked hurriedly.
"Later...no later!" Mafa was still a little sad, but when he saw Qin Lun's heartless look, he felt nothing in an instant, and immediately glared at him angrily.
"Oh!" Qin Lun smacked his lips with unsatisfactory intentions, and suddenly frowned and asked, "You have said so much, what does it have to do with this card?"
"As a whole civilization, Atlantis has disappeared. However, the population, minerals, and civilization heritage it has left behind have not disappeared! What's more, although the holy city of the Atlantis was destroyed by civil war, there must be treasures of the Atlantis apostles in every corner of the city that have not been discovered!" Mafa said with a smile.
"You know, after the death of the apostle, most of the equipment items that merged the broken laws will be taken back by the broken starry sky. However, the equipment items that are special treasures will be left in their original place. Moreover, Atlantis had dozens of large apostle teams at its peak, and they must have many semi-plane stations, and there were many good things in those stations..."
"So, the card you issued is... a pass to Atlantis?" Qin Lun asked, pointing to the card.
"Pass?" Mafa was slightly stunned, then smiled, "No, this thing is not a pass, it's just an invitation!"
After Atlantis' decline, it attracted the attention of many intelligent races and the Apostle City. Such a large piece of cake cannot be swallowed by any intelligent race, or even any apostle city.
The intelligent race requires the population, minerals and civilizational heritage of Atlantis, the apostles need special treasures left in the holy city, and the large team of high-level apostles requires a team semi-plane... In short, everyone is salivating about the Atlantis continent, but they do not have enough strength to obtain them all.
Therefore, the intelligent race and the apostle city that had fought with Atlantis could only divide Atlantis and each obtained a part of it by its strength. In order not to cause a great melee in the century, the old apostle city that broke the starry sky launched the most fair form of distribution. They would send apostle representatives in the city to use their strength to determine the proportion of their respective benefits.
This kind of battle between the apostles and cities is called the urban battle!
"The battle for hegemony in the apostles city?" Qin Lun's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he asked cautiously, "This kind of competition should be held among the high-level apostles. Why would someone give me an invitation to the battle for hegemony!"
"No, the urban battle for hegemony is measured by the comprehensive strength of the entire apostle city, including apostles of all levels, legends vs. legends, high-levels vs. high-levels, and low-levels will naturally be dealt with by low-levels!" Mafa said with a smile.
"The resource allocation ratio between cities is determined by the number of apostles who survived in the battle for hegemony. Which city has the largest number of people left, they will win the largest share of the cake. Inside the city, the management of race and large apostolic teams also use this method to obtain the benefits they deserve!"
"Haha, then the only apostles are fighting in the urban battle. Your wise race is just bystanders!" Qin Lun blinked at Mafa jokingly.
"You speak mercilessly!" Mafa said with a wry smile. "A war of urban hegemony may cause hundreds of apostles to be killed or injured, but the apostles who are qualified to participate in the war of urban hegemony. Among them, the intelligent race responsible for managing must have already been sacrificed by hundreds of thousands of people in the war! Do you think we will be relaxed?"
"I'm sorry! But why did the large team send the invitation letter to us outsiders?" Qin Lun pondered for a while, then looked up again and asked.
"Haha, you asked the key point!" Mafa glanced at Qin Lun with admiration.
"If the apostle city wants to maintain continuous prosperity, large teams at the top cannot control all their benefits, and even tilt a considerable number of resources to the apostles at the bottom. They will only give out a part of their people, and other invitations will be sent to small and medium-sized apostles teams in the Apostles Alliance.
However, the invitation letter sent to the small and medium-sized apostle team is different from what you have. The invitation letter is called a wild card. The invitation letter you have should be an internal card within the 'lost' team."
"Is there any difference between an inner card and a wild card?" Qin Lun asked curiously.
"There are two ways to issue wild cards. One is to issue the three Apostles Alliance of Demon Horn to small teams in the alliance, and the other is to issue them by urban mercenaries commissioned by race management, which are basically sent to mercenary apostles with high urban points. The inner card is a large team like "Lost", and the management of race distribution.
The biggest difference between the two is that the apostles who get wild cards have to go through several rounds of selection in the semi-plane arena of the Apostles League. The apostles who get inner cards only need to go through one selection, which is the knockout match between the three Apostles Leagues of Demon Horns." Mafa sighed slightly when he said this.
"I thought it would take at least half a year to a year before you could get involved in these things. I didn't expect that someone has already sent you an invitation to the city war for the city. You have to be careful, that person may not necessarily appreciate you, or may harm you.
You should know that although the Urban Battle against Hegemony is a primary vs. an initial level, the strength gap between the apostles who have just entered the primary level is still very large. Moreover, during the Battle against Hegemony, the apostles with wide connections are different from the apostles who are alone like you. They will form a temporary team, and you have only been in the Demon Horn for two months. Even if you know a few people, they may not be able to help you in the Battle against Hegemony!"
"Haha, Mafa, what benefits would I get if I could survive the battle for hegemony?" Qin Lun's eyes flashed with splendor, and his emotions gradually became excited. He opened his palms and clenched his fists again, and his knuckles turned white by himself.
