Led by the Eight Great Nations, their allied countries around them spread across more than forty countries in the world.
As if to curry favor with the Eight Great Nations, and with the Beacon Nation, which was about to give birth to the second Mythic-Grade professional and permanently occupy the seat of the world's number one strongest Nation, some ally-Nation professionals with no bottom line began deliberately and wantonly slaughtering Dragon Nation professionals in the gladiator arena.
Ignoring the rules of the Arena Level-5, even if it was the same faction, as long as the opponent was from Dragon Nation, they would directly kill.
However, they underestimated the strength of the current world's third-ranked Dragon Nation.
Dragon Nation's overall strength was not low, and those weak-Nation professionals who came to cause trouble mostly ended up lifting a rock only to smash their own feet.
However, this gave the people of Dragon Nation an unprecedented sense of oppression.
They even began to lose some of Dragon Nation's allied countries.

[Arena Level-5, Battlefield 9]
[Eastern Nation, Inoue Amano's Livestream]
Slash!
As Ghost-Blade Dancer Inoue Amano's blade rose and fell, blood splattered on the spot, a Dragon Nation participant was slain into white light.
Inoue Amano raised his head, staring at the other two professionals in front of him. One from [Thracian] and the other from [Maiden Nation], and pointed his bloodstained long blade at them, speaking coldly, "I'll give you two a choice: either be buried with Dragon Nation, or abandon Dragon Nation and join the ranks of our Eight Great Nations."
As the number one powerhouse of Eastern Nation, Inoue Amano's popularity was not low.
At this moment, his livestream room had already gathered a total of 20 million viewers from countries all over the world.
Twenty million people were watching this livestream together.
On the scrolling comments, countless messages appeared.
["Does Dragon Nation still have any comparison with our Eastern Nation now? Now that Dragon Nation's necromancer Zero is dead, and they can't obtain the Resurrection God Stone from the Gate of Immortality, Dragon Nation has already become an empty shell. To stand with Dragon Nation is a dead end."]
["The Eight Great Empires, led by the Beacon Nation, apart from the Cold Nation, our Eastern Nation has the most voice. When Ghost-Sword Elfa breaks through the Hell Gladiator Arena and takes the second Mythic-grade profession for the Beacon Nation, when the Beacon Nation reaches the peak and sweeps away Dragon Nation and Bear Nation, our Eastern Nation will be the world's third greatest power."]
["Switching from darkness to light early is the wisest choice!"]
On the field, under the gaze of all, the assassin [My God Asura] from Thracian fixed a burning gaze on Inoue Amano and said firmly, "Even without Zero, Dragon Nation is not as easily crushed as you think."
"And besides, you are looking down too much on my Thracian Nation."
"I will never betray my motherland, and even more so will never betray Dragon Nation."
As soon as the words fell—
Whoosh!
My God Asura's figure became like an illusion, disappearing from his original place.
In an instant, he appeared right in front of Inoue Amano.
"GO TO HELL!"
Slash!
The sharp dagger stabbed straight toward Inoue Amano.
But at the instant it was about to strike him, Inoue Amano suddenly exploded with a lightning-fast sword-drawing slash.
A flash of blade light swept past.
My God Asura's pupils widened.
The next second, he fell before Inoue Amano and turned into glimmers of starlight.
In the Hell Gladiator Arena, starlight did not signify permanent death, it meant elimination.
Obviously, it was because My God Asura's remaining points were insufficient to pay the cost for revival after death, leading to elimination.
All his efforts before this were completely in vain.
["Ding~ You killed the Thracian participant [My God Asura]. The opponent's faction is different from yours. Congratulations, you plundered 5 points from the opponent."]
Killing My God Asura without any effort, Inoue Amano then shifted his gaze to the Maidan Nation mage [Azu] on the other side.
"How about it, are you the same as him?"
Azu was clearly a little flustered.
Because the Arena Level-5 had only just begun, most participants entering this arena did not yet have many points.
One death meant a loss of 100 points, at least 90% of participants could not afford that.
Obviously, Azu's points were also less than 100, and once he died, he would face direct elimination.
He hesitated.
"I… I…", Just as Inoue Amano was about to swing his blade, Azu shouted, "Can I join you?"
"Yoshi!", Inoue Amano showed a proud smile, "Now that is the wise choice."
But thinking that saying this would be enough was a mistake.
Unexpectedly, Inoue Amano demanded, "Follow me and kill three Dragon Nation people, and you will be officially considered my Eastern Nation's ally."
Azu was extremely conflicted inside.
Because once he truly acted against Dragon Nation people, there would be no turning back.
He didn't want to betray his motherland, nor betray Dragon Nation.
Seeing Azu hesitate, Inoue Amano continued, "Don't worry, you won't need to do all the work. I know your strength is limited. When we encounter Dragon Nation people, I will cripple them, and you just need to deliver the final blow to complete the kill."
"Don't believe in my Inoue Amano's strength?"
"I can tell you this, in the entire Battlefield 9, there is not a single person who can be the opponent of me, the Ghost-Blade Dancer."
At the same time, the people in the livestream chat were also fearmongering.
["Laughable, look at his panicked face, killing a few Dragon Nation monkeys, what's there to be afraid of?"]
["Exactly, how did someone with so little courage even make it into the top 3000 of the Hell Gladiator Arena?"]
["Dragon Nation is about to be crippled, and he still hasn't severed ties with Dragon Nation, what is he thinking?"]
["He can't possibly think there's really someone in this battlefield who can beat Amano-kun, right? When the time comes, following Amano-kun and being defeated, he'll lose both points and reputation."]
["Haha, I've already checked, the few somewhat powerful ones from Dragon Nation and Bear Nation are not in Battlefield 9. In this battlefield, Amano-kun is invincible! Whoever can beat Amano-kun, I'll eat shit live!"]
["Wait! It seems like there's someone over here…"]
Just as the audience in the livestream were in heated discussion, the smug-faced Inoue Amano suddenly seemed to sense something, his brows tightening sharply.
He felt a chill of wind coming from behind.
Inoue Amano quickly shifted and swung his blade to block.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, he successfully blocked the attacker's strike.
Looking up, he saw the attacker was a female assassin.
In her clear eyes was an endless killing intent.
"Invincible in Battlefield 9? Who gave you the courage?"
Looking at the Shadow Dancer [Cappuccino] before him, Inoue Amano said in a low voice, "It's you again!"
Chen Zijin smiled faintly, "Surprised?"
Inoue Amano snorted coldly, "Last time you were just lucky, do you think this time I will still…"
Before he could finish, Chen Zijin's figure suddenly became like a shadow, passing straight through Inoue Amano's body.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
A flurry of lightning-fast piercing strikes perfectly broke through every one of Inoue Amano's blocks.
A sudden combo that caught Inoue Amano off guard instantly emptied the health bar above his head.
With her back to Inoue Amano, Chen Zijin's clear eyes held a trace of coldness.
"You, are not yet QUALIFIED to be my opponent."
