Chapter 08: Four Sided Back Stroke

Chapter 08

Four Sided Back Stroke

Ratings sky rocketed on every Terroa cable channels the moment the Flash News on every basic TV channel around the world indicated that the War Of The Two Powers had officially began.

And through them, Terroa Day Today, as Panorama Corp’s exclusively owned Terroa game channel, had the highest viewing ratings of 48.9%, a world record.

RPG: Terroa’s official website also came up with an idea of a simultaneous video broadcast so as to cater and actually know the people’s reactions impromptu.

Of course, thanks to Kathleen Brew who came first on the scene since she had decided to never log out and actually sleep inside the game that day. 

The first movie she had posted earned the ratings, picturing how vast the Two Powers’ forces really are.

[The war had started!]

[Hoorah! Look at those battleships!]

[That’s a large sized army they got there…]

[Check out the monster riders!]

[Dude those Cyclones are way too cool!]

After going through much preparation, flying in the dark skies, into the Valley of Buendia from the line of dark brown and greenish blue fields, the fight the whole world has been waiting for had officially started! 

[That’s the Hydra!]

[Wow! It looks more dangerous than the pictures.]

Ships hit by the missiles from the Hydra warship is taking down one after another. Though there are still those excellent pilots with real abilities to maneuver their Cyclones and dodge the missiles, those that aren’t able to do so are still many and they fall, burning, towards the ground.

Even so, despite the Hydra having overwhelming superiority in terms of fire power, the defense forces of the Sylphs are still taking in a bind.

Monsters, ships, Cyclones, soldiers, NPCs, users, the battle royal was happening in real time and sparked the viewers’ excitement. They don’t care about who wins and who doesn’t, what they’re after was the amusement of seeing a movie-like war in real time. The fact that it was happening in real time means that they are seeing it live, as the war progresses.

[Where’s the infantry?]

[I want to see PVP actions!]

[The TV program is a little late than the internet.]

[It’s wiser if you open many windows on different sites so you could watch from different angles.]

[Good idea!]

[Yeah. Let’s try that.]

Some got bored of the sky fighting and so did what was said. The internet traffic clogged up, slowing down the browsing and pixelized the images of the video. It’s expected since multiple open window of live streaming can cause the other site to battle out for the connection data. 

And as such, Terroa.com immediately followed the flow of the viewers’ demands and changed their site’s live video broadcast into multiple angled ones, like a CCTV screen, only, those with the Real@D on their houses could actually enjoy its 3d experience. 

They uploaded Kathleen’s videos without editing it, only improving the quality of her voice as she reported.

But then, as the sky battles of the warships became more and more dramatic, down below, the fights of the strongest players took the spotlight and turned Netizens to be glued on their seats.
