Chapter 146: The competition starts

The morning in August was bright and sunny, a rare good weather.

The arena was full of people, and almost all the residents of the Hope Territory sat here. Among them were the relatives and friends of the contestants, and there were also people who simply came to watch the excitement.

No matter who it is, everyone is looking forward to the upcoming game.

In the circular stepped auditorium, there is a raised platform that is most noticeable.

This is the referee's bench and has the best view of the audience.

At this time, the commanders of the major corps who jointly held this game all sat here with their deputies, including some high-level leaders in the territory, including the most respected lord.

Gu Mi didn't sit at the front of the referee's bench.

The real referee of this game is not her, she is just a spectator, sitting in a later position, but also with a good view.

Even so, as the person with the highest status in the audience, she still got the attention of almost everyone, so Gu Mi was already accustomed to this, and could calmly respond to the attention of the majority of the people with a smile.

It is already 7:25 in the morning, and the official game starts at 7:30.

The game will last three days.

No one will be eliminated in the arena. After all, its essence is selection. Soldiers participating in the competition need to participate in every small competition, including archery, riding, fighting, defensive skills, skill pairing, and even set up Team battles, etc.

It fully tested each soldier's ability to master the situation.

This is also a comprehensive exercise demonstration of their first three months of training.

On the first day, the main competitions are archery, horse riding, and fighting, the second day is the remaining single-player events, and the last day is team battles.

At that time, Gu Mi will start a team simulation battle with the authority of the lord.

In fact, after the arena has been upgraded to a high-level building, it can accommodate more people to participate in simulated battles and more spectators to watch the game at one time, and it also has an additional ability.

"5, Battlefield. (Only opened by lords) You

can spend a lot of copper coins to put individuals or groups into a random battlefield with a real degree of 99.9% for training. After the training, you can get a certain experience value reward, and you can choose whether to open the training to watch, If you open it for viewing, you can get a part of the viewing harvest as a bonus."

Gu Mi once considered whether to enable this feature, but was finally discouraged by Avery and others.

Their reasons are also simple.

This is just a selection competition for recruits, there is no need to make it so cruel.

Although no one will really die in the arena, the reason why the battlefield is different from the team simulation battle is because its realism is too high. If a person dies in it, not only will he think he is real. is dead, even his teammates would think so.

Even after the 'battlefield' training, people who should have died can still be alive and well, but the psychological trauma suffered in the training room is not so easy.

In Cheng Ke's words: "The world is already cruel enough, we don't want to artificially create pain."

Because of this sentence, she successfully persuaded Gu Mi, so she gave up her previous idea.

The sudden burst of noise from the crowd pulled back Gu Mi's consciousness.

She looked down subconsciously, and sure enough, there was already a group of soldiers wearing uniform fine iron armor lined up in two teams and ran out neatly.

There are a total of 3,500 recruits recruited in this territory. These 3,500 people are arranged in a square team to stand in the arena, and they only occupy a small open space.

But the high-spirited and solemn aura on them made people unconsciously become serious and stop making noise.

Quiet in the venue.

The old village chief who was sitting next to Gu Mi gently touched her, reminding her that it was time to go up and give a leadership speech.

Gu Mi: "..."

She remembered the long speech prepared for her by her subordinates. She didn't really want to read it out without emotion and waste everyone's time. She simply cut down her words on the spot.

"All fighters, I believe you all understand the meaning of this selection competition. I will not talk nonsense. I hope you will work hard in the next competition and show your strongest strength, so that you can live up to your three months. The hard training in here!"

"Yes, Lord Lord!" The

uniform response was like a rainbow, making people's eardrums and hearts tremble together.

Gu Mi raised his lips, nodded in satisfaction, and then sat back in his seat.

"Boss, that's the speech I wrote..."

As soon as he sat firmly, a faint voice floated over from the front.

Gu Mi looked up and met Shang Cheng Ke's sad little eyes: "It's well written, don't write it next time." It

's too long-winded.

She actually wrote a 30,000-word long novel for her, as for?

However, in order to coax someone who worked so hard to write a speech and the result was not read out, Gu Mi still took a packet of spicy sticks from the card book and gave it to her.

This is her treasure, and she has never been willing to eat it.

"Hey, thank you boss!"

Cheng Ke, who got the spicy stick, immediately smiled and hugged him tightly, like a mouse that fell into a rice bowl.

This made Gu Mi very suspicious.

Wouldn't this person just fix this one just to deceive her about the spicy sticks?

Judging from Cheng Ke's character, it doesn't seem impossible?

After Gu Mi, several legion commanders who hosted the game also went up to talk one after another, to the effect of encouraging the recruits to play hard and fight hard.

And I don't know if Gu Mi was misled by them. The group of people spoke shorter and shorter each other. When it was Lakat's turn, the strong shield soldier of the dwarf race only held two simple and rough out of his mouth. The word: "Come on!" is

gone?

This must not be my pan.

Thinking of this, Gu Mi almost couldn't wait to announce: "The game starts."

Let's skip this one.

"Ah ah ah... Come on..." At the beginning of the game, the audience who had been quiet began to make noise again, but at this time no one cared about them, because everyone's attention was on the first team. On the recruits in the game.

In order to allow everyone to show their abilities, and to speed up the process of the competition, the competition below is like an assembly line, which continues smoothly and orderly.

All recruits were divided into teams of ten.

The first team first competed in archery. Each person shoots three arrows. After one person shoots, they immediately return to the next person, and then those who have finished shooting immediately run to the next venue to test Qiyu.

The test of riding is more complicated.

The recruits need to first select one of the hundreds of riding beasts, and then successfully ride on the back of the riding beast, control it, run around the field twice quickly, and then pick it up at the designated place and place it on the shelf. The bow and arrow are used for mobile archery, and after shooting, they have to be replaced with long-range skills to conduct precise skill attacks on the target.

Recruits without long-range skills have to take up weapons and ride a horse to fight against another Griffin knight who acts as a sparring player, requiring at least three moves under the Griffin knight. This round will have special personnel to rate their performance, and the previous round is simpler, and there is no need to arrange any recording personnel. A virtual screen hanging above the arena will automatically record everyone's shooting arrows. The scores are presented clearly.

This is the auxiliary function of the arena.

Originally used to display the player information of both sides and the final winner, it was transformed into a scoreboard after being slightly modified by Gu Mi using the authority.

In this way, the audience, including the players themselves, can see their scores and avoid the occurrence of shady scenes to the greatest extent.

It just costs money to remodel.

For this, Gu Mi lost 10,000 copper coins, which was painful at first, but now that he saw the effect, he felt that it was worth it.

The existence of the scoreboard also aroused the emotions of the audience to a certain extent, and stimulated the fighting spirit of the participating soldiers, because it will rank each person according to their score.

This is equivalent to a ranking list, it is clear at a glance who is first and who is second.

Those who have already played but fell behind are determined to try their best to catch up with the next small project, and those who are at the top are also afraid of being caught up by others and desperately want to maintain their advantage. Those who have not yet played are eager to hit the front row in one fell swoop.

The atmosphere of the whole place was too warm.

Even Gu Mi was infected, and couldn't help applauding when he saw every wonderful moment.

Ever since the riding test, Avery has been watching intently.

This is no wonder, because this level is to test whether recruits are suitable to become knights, from whether they can communicate with the beast smoothly, to successfully riding on the back of the beast, and then driving the beast to run around the field, letting them Cooperate with yourself to make various actions, including fighting together.

Many soldiers were unable to complete the full set of tests in this level.

Even if a small part is completed, many of them seem to be reluctant, and there are very few people who can take it easy, and these very few people happen to be the talents most wanted by Avery's Griffin Knight Legion.

Like him, Fury was watching everyone's archery skills very seriously.

In fact, after three months of training, even if you don't practice archery every day, with a good physical foundation and professional guidance, in fact, every soldier's archery level is decent.

But just because of this, it is not easy to pick out good seedlings that are really suitable for their archer corps.

After experiencing the riding competition.

No matter how well they perform in this round, the soldiers participating in the competition have to rush to the next fight without stopping.

It's not like a normal fighting game.

Because the purpose is to demonstrate the fighting ability of each soldier, their fighting objects are not each other, but soldiers specially selected from the three legions of shield soldiers, infantry, and assault troops.

That is to say, a soldier participating in the competition needs to go through three battles, fighting against three seniors from different branches of the army.

Shield soldiers are good at defense, infantry are good at melee combat, and assault troops are good at onslaught.

Three different combat styles can fully allow recruits to experience their differences and gain more experience.

In the same way, none of these three battles required them to be victorious, they only needed to be under the hands of the seniors for a minute.

In order to save time, there are many battle arenas in the arena.

can be done synchronously.

This round of rounds is dazzling, but it is really wonderful.

Especially on the fighting arena, the fist-to-meat fight made people very excited. "

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly _ _ _ Ah wife!" …

Gu Mi: "..."

Was there anything strange mixed in the audience's voice?

Come on, come on, how come you still have a confession?

I don't know either.

Shaking his head, Gu Mi retracted his attention from the overly enthusiastic shouts of the audience and continued to watch the underground game.

I have to say, there are a lot of really good people out there.

For example, which half-elf boy.

With one bow and three arrows, the arrows hit the bull's-eye, but he still shot blindfolded, and he also performed well in the rear riding.

Seeing this scene alone, Gu Mi knew that Fury would probably take her under her command, but she just had to prevent Avery from robbing her.

However, Fuli, who has the advantage of the same family, may have an advantage.

Another example is a fox orc girl.

She is light and agile, and performs very well in fighting competitions. She even relies on super flexibility and agility, plus a little cleverness, to defeat the shield soldiers who are relatively slow in action because of their focus on defense.

When she won, the whole audience gave her warm applause. Gu Mi was also a member of the applause. She also noticed that Tu Xiaosi clapped very enthusiastically, and she immediately understood that this girl was beaten by her. I took a fancy to.

Before the game even started, each legion commander was assigned a roster.

Above is the name of each soldier.

They will tick each soldier's name according to their performance in the arena. Those who are ticked are those who are favored by them and intend to be included in their own legion.

After the competition is over, these rosters will be integrated and sent to Gu Mi's desk, and she will decide who will be assigned to which legion.
