Chapter 124 Rules of the Competition

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

"The rewards are quite tempting. I didn't expect Ikaloya to be so generous."

"Generous is useless. I don't have much confidence."

Su Mo couldn't help but complain.

Just then, Emperor Isaac stepped forward and announced authoritatively.

"Now I will announce the rules of the competition. First is the selection of the Royal Knights squad leaders. Forty-eight participants will compete for three squad leader positions. The three winning squad leaders can participate in the selection of the Royal Knights' Twelve Knights. The specific rules for the squad leader selection competition are as follows: the use of super-large destructive weapons above the dark matter level is prohibited; everything else is allowed. The criteria for judging victory is a 30% damage threshold to the mecha's body. Reaching a 30% damage level will result in elimination."

"As for the rules of the Royal Knights' Twelve Knights selection competition, the use of all weapons is permitted, without restrictions on large-scale destructive weapons. The criteria for victory is based on the opponent losing mobility or surrendering. A special warning: malicious killing is strictly prohibited."

"Understood?"

"Understood!"

Su Mo and the others responded one after another.

"Dismissed."

After Emperor Isaac finished his announcement, he turned and left with Hai Wen Ni.

At this time, Hillary ran over excitedly and said to Su Mo and the others, "Gentlemen, the opening ceremony is over. Please leave here quickly. All the facilities here will be lowered soon, and we have to do the final inspection. The competition will start tomorrow morning."

"Understood."

Everyone nodded slightly and began to disperse.

Wang Hai and Xiu Lisi walked towards Su Mo.

"Let's go together."

"Okay, by the way, there's something I want to ask you."

Su Mo walked with them, lowering his voice as he inquired.

"What is it?"

Wang Hai asked curiously.

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

Su Mo asked directly.

"It's Lord Zhang Wei. He's leading a logistics team."

Wang Hai didn't hide anything from Su Mo and revealed it directly.

"Tell Lord Zhang Wei that I may need him to help me with logistics and maintenance later. I don't have anyone on my side."

Su Mo said with a wry smile.

"You should have said earlier that you didn't have logistics support, but it should be fine. If it really doesn't work, we can dismantle parts from our mecha to maintain yours."

Wang Hai was surprised, but he replied immediately.

"Ahem, it's not that bad, just a little maintenance will do."

Su Mo replied awkwardly.

"What do you mean it's not that bad? We're all counting on you to win a spot in the Royal Knights. No one knows your strength better than us. Whether the Federation can rise again depends on you!"

Xiu Lisi said in a low voice.

"Okay."

Su Mo didn't say much.

....

The next morning.

Su Mo got up early and took a small aircraft to the viewing platform of the Mecha Empire's arena.

He was going to watch Wang Hai's battle.

To prevent anyone from targeting him before the competition, Su Mo planned to either stay in the hangar or watch the battles from the stands these days.

In short, he would try to appear in public places as much as possible.

After a while, Su Mo arrived at the viewing area of the Mecha Empire's arena.

He was shocked by the scene before him. All he could see was a sea of heads. There were at least a million people gathered here.

Many people held up glow sticks and cheering flags.

"So many people? Didn't they say that mainly officers come to watch?"

Su Mo said in shock.

"What's so strange about that? When superiors are competing, how can the subordinates not come to watch? Besides, the people of the Mecha Empire have always admired the strong and are very obsessed with this kind of event. Naturally, many people come to watch."

The Creator·Devourer said calmly.

"That makes sense. I just don't know how long it will take to enter."

Su Mo stretched.

"Don't worry. I've scanned it. There are more than five thousand entrances here. It won't take long to enter once they open."

"Okay."

......

As expected, the entrances opened soon.

A black tide of people began to enter. All the identification devices here are automated, so the efficiency is extremely high.

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

Inside, he first went to different cloud ladder platforms based on his ticket information.

The cloud ladder platforms would send the audience to different areas of the viewing platform.

Since there were 24 matches starting simultaneously in the first round.

Therefore, the holographic images projected in different areas were different.

Su Mo glanced at the text message on his wrist and went to cloud ladder platform number 7.

He found that the number of people gathered at this cloud ladder platform was relatively small, but that was normal since it wasn't a popular event.

Whoosh!

The cloud ladder platform began to rise rapidly.

......

Ten minutes later, Su Mo successfully entered the viewing platform.

The entire viewing platform was in space, shaped like a flying saucer, with the surface and top made entirely of transparent glass.

Of course, there was no need to worry about safety, as it was protected by energy barriers.

Su Mo glanced around the viewing platform. It was divided into 24 zones, which could accommodate about five million people.

But that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was...

Su Mo noticed a special viewing area in the center of the viewing platform. That area was heavily guarded.

But he didn't see any personnel watching the competition.

Su Mo pondered for a while and thought that if there were no accidents, that should be where City Lord Ikaloya was watching.

Suddenly, the entire arena erupted, and the noisy sound interrupted Su Mo's thoughts.

Su Mo looked up and found that the holographic projection had started operating.

Wang Hai's competition arena was in zone number 17.

At this time, the projection of zone number 17 had already appeared, but the mecha had not yet entered.

Although the entire arena was divided into 24 zones, each zone had an area of millions of square kilometers. They could fight as much as they wanted as long as they didn't use large-scale destructive weapons.

At this moment, the Creator·Devourer reminded Su Mo in a low voice.

"There are only 23 minutes left before the start of the competition. Haven't you placed your bets yet?"

"I won't bet yet. It's not interesting, and I can't earn much money. I'll wait until some people are eliminated and the funds start to concentrate before I start betting."

Su Mo said, stroking his chin.

"Well, that's fine. Anyway, there's only so much money invested by everyone. Just try to extract as much as possible."

"It's not that easy! You think too highly of me."

Su Mo smiled helplessly. It would be funny if he lost all his money.

Soon, more than ten minutes passed.

At this moment, in the projection zone number 17, a mechanical sphere landed.

The mechanical sphere made an impassioned sound.

"Now, please welcome the contestants!"

In an instant, Ahamer piloted a seventy-meter-tall, V generation bio-mecha, the Red Devil, completely covered in red bio-bone armor, with a prism-shaped head, a red metal giant shield in his left hand, and a red blood-blade giant axe in his right hand, exuding a very strong aura.

"Ahamer!"

The spectators of the Milik Kingdom cheered.

"Wow, it's a V generation bio-mecha. We're sure to win this time."

......

Many people who had placed bets were also shouting excitedly.

However, at this moment, Wang Hai elegantly landed in the center of the arena, piloting the flawless V generation pure mechanical mecha, Divine Guard Kai.

Its artistic structure surprised everyone.

"Advanced V-type pure mechanical mecha!"

"How is that possible? Isn't the Federation a third-tier nurturing country? How can they have such a good mecha! It's over, it's over, my money!"

......
