Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1598 - 1273: Opening Ceremony 3

At this moment, the voice of Creator·Swallower echoed in Su Mo’s mind.

"The rewards are tempting, I didn’t expect Icaroya to be so generous."

"Generosity is worthless, I don’t have much confidence."

Su Mo couldn’t help but complain.

At this moment, Emperor Isaac stepped forward and announced assertively.

"Now I will declare the competition rules. First is the Royal Order team leader selection. 48 contestants compete for 3 team leader spots. The winning 3 team leaders can participate in the Royal Order of Twelve Knights selection. The specific rules for the team leader selection are as follows: the use of large-scale weapons above the dark matter level is prohibited, all else is unrestricted. Victory is judged by a threshold of thirty percent damage to the mecha; reaching thirty percent damage results in elimination."

"As for the Royal Order of Twelve Knights selection rules, all weapons are permitted, including large-scale weapons. The victory standard is the opponent losing mobility or surrendering, with a specific warning against malicious killing."

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

Su Mo and others responded in unison.

"Dismissed."

Emperor Isaac announced the conclusion and then turned to leave with Haven.

At this time, Hera Li excitedly ran over and said to Su Mo and others, "Officers, the opening ceremony is over. You should leave quickly, they will lower all the facilities soon; we need to do the final inspection, the competition begins tomorrow morning."

"Got it."

Everyone nodded slightly and began to disperse.

Wang Hai and Shiris walked over to Su Mo.

"Let’s go together."

"Sure, by the way, there’s something I want to ask you."

Su Mo said as he lowered his voice while walking with them.

"What is it?"

Wang Hai responded curiously.

"Who did the Federation send to maintain your mecha?"

Su Mo asked directly.

"It’s Lord Zhang Wei; he brought a logistics team."

Wang Hai didn’t hide anything from Su Mo and said frankly.

"Tell Lord Zhang Wei that I’ll probably need his help for logistics maintenance too, no one on my side can do it."

Su Mo said with a bitter smile.

"You should have said earlier if you didn’t have logistics support, but it shouldn’t be a problem. Worst case, we can dismantle pieces from our mechas to maintain yours."

Wang Hai was surprised but responded promptly.

"Ahem, no need; just a slight maintenance is enough."

Su Mo replied awkwardly.

"No way, we’re counting on you to get the Royal Order spot. No one knows your strength better than us, whether the Federation rises or not depends on you!"

Shiris said in a low voice.

"Alright."

Su Mo didn’t say much more.

....

The next morning.

Su Mo got up early and took a small aircraft to the Mechanical Empire’s arena observation deck.

He’s going to watch Wang Hai’s battle.

To prevent anyone targeting him before the match, Su Mo plans to either stay in the hangar or go watch from the stands these days.

The goal is to appear mainly in public places.

Shortly after, Su Mo arrived at the viewing area of the Mechanical Empire arena.

He was shocked by the scene before him; as far as the eye could see, there were nothing but crowded heads, with no less than a million people gathered here.

Many people held up glow signs and shouted with flags.

"So many people? I thought this place was mainly for officers to watch?"

Su Mo said in shock.

"What’s so strange; when officers compete, wouldn’t the people come to watch? Also, people from the Mechanical Empire have always revered the strong and are very obsessed with such events, naturally attracting a huge audience."

Creator·Swallower said lightly.

"Makes sense, but I wonder how long it will take to enter."

Su Mo stretched lazily.

"Don’t worry, I’ve scanned here. There are over five thousand entrances, so it won’t take long once they open."

"Hmm."

...

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for the entrances to open.

The crowd resembling a tide began to enter; all recognition devices here are automated, ensuring high efficiency.

In less than twenty minutes, Su Mo passed through security.

Inside, they first headed to different lift platforms based on ticket information.

The lift platforms transport spectators to different viewing areas.

Since the first round started with 24 matches simultaneously.

The holographic images projected in each area differ.

Su Mo looked at his short message prompt and went to platform number 7.

He found that this lift platform had relatively fewer people, but it was expected since it’s not a popular event.

Whoosh!

The lift platform began to rise quickly.

...

Ten minutes later, Su Mo successfully entered the observation deck.

The entire observation deck was situated in space, shaped like a flying saucer; the surface and top were all transparent glass.

Of course, safety isn’t a concern with energy barriers protecting it.

Su Mo briefly examined the deck, which is divided into 24 zones and can accommodate roughly five million people.

However, that’s not the most important thing.

The most crucial point.

Su Mo discovered a special observation deck at the center, heavily guarded.

Yet, he saw no spectators watching the match.

After a moment of thought, Su Mo guessed, if nothing unexpected, that must be where Icaroya City Lord watches.

Suddenly, the whole space erupted, noisy sounds interrupting Su Mo’s thoughts.

Su Mo looked up and found the holographic projection starting to operate.

Wang Hai’s match was assigned to area number 17.

By this time, the number 17 projection had been displayed, but the mecha hadn’t appeared yet.

Despite the arena being divided into 24 areas, every section covers a staggering area of millions of square kilometers. Without using large-scale weapons, they can fight freely.

Then Creator·Swallower reminded Su Mo solemnly.

"Only 23 minutes left until the match begins, haven’t you placed your bets yet?"

"Not yet, it’s pointless, can’t make much money. I’ll wait till some are eliminated, and funds concentrate, then place bets."

Su Mo said, rubbing his chin.

"Hmm, that works too. As long as the money pool can be maximized, it’s enough."

"You think too highly of me."

Su Mo smiled helplessly. If he ends up losing everything, that would be hilarious.

Soon, ten-plus minutes passed quickly.

At this moment, a mechanical ball descended in the number 17 projection area.

The mechanical ball emitted an enthusiastic voice.

"Now let’s welcome both players to the arena!"

In an instant, Arhael piloting a V-Class Biological Mecha·Red Demon, towering at seventy meters and covered with red biological bone armor, with a rectangular head, a red metal giant shield in the left hand, and a red blood-blade ax in the right hand, exuding a powerful aura, entered.

"Arhael!"

Citizens of the Mirick Kingdom cheered one after another.

"Wow, it’s a V-Class Biological Mecha, sure win this time."

...

Many betting enthusiasts shouted excitedly too.

But at this moment, Wang Hai piloting the pure white V-Class Pure Mechanical Mecha·Divine Guard elegantly landed at the center.

Its structure resembles an art piece, astonishing everyone.

"Advanced V-Class Pure Mechanical Mecha!"

"How is it possible? Isn’t the Federation the third nurturing nation, how can they have such a fine mecha! I’m done for, my money!"

...
