The father of the Conqueror, the former ruler of Macedonia, created a new legionary tactic, known as the Macedonian phalanx: warriors clad in heavy armor, wielding long spears, formed an unstoppable phalanx and advanced. The Conqueror further elevated this legionary tactic to its pinnacle: he commissioned the creation of spears longer than people of that time could imagine. When warriors equipped with these long spears formed their lines and pointed their spearheads towards the enemy, the very nature of war was fundamentally altered. War ceased to be a game of individual valor and became a unified front of thousands. The clash transformed, inexorably consuming and dispersing the enemy like scattered troops and mercenaries. Stirring battle cries turned into subdued commands, as even the most skilled and valiant warriors found attacking such a formation akin to striking a mountain or the vast sea.
This highly effective strategy aided the Conqueror in vanquishing all his foes. On the battlefield, his units stood like a silent mountain, steadily advancing towards the enemy. As the figure of the emperor stood before the formation gradually became towering, bowing seems to be the only choice to this great monarch.

Wearing the iconic style helmets, linen cuirasses, and leather kilts, the finest warriors of Macedonia wielded spears of extraordinary length, their arms secured by large round shields, advancing in an indomitable phalanx formation. Shielded by their round shields, they stood fearless against attacks from afar. Following the king's command, moving steadily back and forth with their long spears, continuously compressing the enemy's lines. Through skillful manipulation of the distance from the enemy, Macedonia could evade harm while seizing the opportune moment and launch a lethal strike on the ever-changing battlefield!

Unbeatable like a mountain, march alongside the Sunward Phalanx, sweeping across the world in "Conqueror's Blade"!
It's the ultimate battle, the pursuit of ideals! For more information about the new season and new units, please follow our official community.

• 2、If the registration period overlaps with the point race period, players are allowed to switch between teams freely. However, the final list of participants will be based on the team composition at the registration deadline.
  
  
• 3、At the start of the point race, players who have not joined a team but have any score changes from participating in [Ranked Battles] will also be included in the point race calculation. For example, if "CN-Leon" does not choose a team at the start of the point race on June 20 but continues to participate in the [Ranked Battles] and joins a team on June 29, the points earned from participating in the [Ranked Battles] from June 20 to July 19 will still be calculated for "CN-Leon."
  
  
• 4、At the end of the point race, only the total [Ranked Battles] scores of the top 15 players in the team will be considered as the team's score.
  
  
• 5、Points Race Notices:
  
  
  • 1）If a team leader has characters on multiple servers or multiple characters on the same server, the point calculation will be based on the server where the character with the highest [Ranked Battles] score is located. If team members have characters on multiple servers or multiple characters on the same server, the server where the team leader is located will be used to calculate the point race.
    
    
  • 2）Duplicate registrations are prohibited in the CBL. If a player is found to have created multiple characters and joined multiple teams on the CBL server during calculations, the player's eligibility will be revoked, and the teams will not be allowed to add replacement members.
    
    
  • 3）Forming teams across different server sequences, such as Jiulongzhuri and Kaijiangtuoyu, is not allowed. Members belonging to different server sequences will be considered invalid registrations, and their teams will not be allowed to add replacement members. The server sequence of the team will be based on the character registered by the team leader, and team members must confirm the server sequence of the team with the leader.
    
    
  • 4）Teams that do not provide contact information (Discord/QQ) or cannot be contacted by the official team will be considered invalid registrations.
    
    
  • 5）The final list of the team and [Ranked Battles] scores used in calculation are all based on the status at the registration deadline of July 19.
    
    
  • 6）The seasonal rank or [Ranked Battles] score of promoted team members will be publicly displayed.
    

Because the promotion for the 2024 CBL Regional Tournaments is primarily based on the total points in "Ranked Battles" of the registered team members. So, don't miss the "Ranked Battles" when the new season starts on June 20th. Warlords, make sure to call your brothers for ranking matches together.

Wishing all our warlord good luck and great success!

On June 20th, raise a toast to ideals with the new season's Companion Cavalry!

[h2]Unit Inspirations[/h2]
By the side of the kings of Macedonia often stand guards known as "Companions," They are noble-born and fiercely loyal. The king regarded them as brothers and sisters, not as mere subordinates. Each "Companion" will follow their king anywhere, until the king passes or the very last drop of blood is shed.
The majority of the "Companion" cavalry are born of nobility; hence they often bear the finest equipment: riding swift steeds, wielding the lethal lance, and resorting to sharp swords once their lances are broken in combat. Under the banner of the conquering king, these units become an unparalleled elite force, playing a pivotal role on the battlefield. Poets have likened the king's tactics to a "hammer and anvil": if the infantry units holding the line in a tug-of-war with the enemy are the "anvil," the Companion cavalry are the "hammer," Searching for any opportunity to exploit the enemies' weaknesses and shattering them with a single decisive charge. After several rounds of hammer strikes, even the mightiest of foes will crumble. In the grand Eastern conquest, this legion has accompanied the conquering king all the way to the ends of the world.



[h2]Featured Gameplay[/h2]
They are the most loyal companions of Alexander, playing a crucial role in his tactics. Often launching flank attacks on enemy formations with the king, they draw immense inspiration simply by being by his side, enhancing their combat abilities significantly.
Companions Cavalry are also highly skilled in guerrilla tactics, utilizing dual weapons to adapt to various battle scenarios. Their exceptional flexibility allows them to engage at the right moment, creating significant advantages for their side with their high burst damage.

Fearless in facing any obstacles, march alongside the Companions Cavalry to the end of the sea in "Conqueror's Blade"!
It's the ultimate battle, the pursuit of ideals! For more information about the new season and new units, please follow our official community.

[h2]Unit Inspirations[/h2]
The island of Rhodes, located on the Aegean Sea, with its important strategic position, has always been the object of ambition for aspiring nations. Throughout its long history of resisting foreign invasions, the resilient and intelligent residents of Rhodes have developed a unique form of warfare, the art of stone throwing: with just a pile of rocks and a roughly made sling, farmers, craftsmen, and even frail shepherds can transform into powerful warriors capable of killing enemies from hundreds of feet away in wars.
Initially, the noble generals and kings looked down upon this "peasant" strategy. Only the Conqueror recognized the potential of this tactic. He incorporated the stone-throwers of Rhodes into his army. The great battle that took place in Chaeronea proved the wisdom of the king. In this ultimate battle between Macedonia and Persia, the stone-throwers invoked the name of the sun god, hurling a myriad of stones towards the enemy. The proud elite Immortals of the Persian Empire found themselves cornered and ultimately defeated by this army composed of commoners. After the war, the Conqueror collectively bestowed upon this legion the title of heroes. In an era where lineage meant everything, they, with humble origins, became the heroes of a great conquering age.



[h2]Featured Gameplay[/h2]
They are the stone-throwers from Rhodes, dressed simply in coarse cloth and straw hats, carrying a bag of stones, wielding shields and slingshots. Their primary attack method is stone-throwing, using slingshots to hurl stones with force. This technique allows them to inflict significant armor-piercing damage at close to medium range, with a chance to stun enemy units. Moreover, the resilient and clever stone-throwers of Rhodes are well-versed in the art of stone-throwing, able to turn nearby pebbles into weapons at any moment to replenish their ammunition.


The song of conquest is about to resound, join forces with the stone-throwers from Rhodes, and share victory in "Conqueror’s Blade"!
It's the ultimate battle, the pursuit of ideals! For more information about the new season and new units, please follow our official community.
