Most from Romain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The talents would enter either one of the 12 existing foreign Brigades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon had no plans for making other brigades. These ones should be enough, even after signing treaties with the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why the entire District B was for military purposes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of the vast moderate-city sized district would only be for training new arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the other half had the prisons there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though sometimes, the higher-ups did permit some battles to be done on the left side, seeing that they had built quite a few 'abandoned-buildings' for simulations over there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be said that when it came to the matters of those residing out of Baymard, their competitions were more or less different too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was all beneficial for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without guns, explosives, or other weapons, they primarily relied on their hands, as well as a few gadgets of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one, they were given practice bows and arrows, which would stick on its target, refusing to come out without a specific chemical for removal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was thanks to the Weapon manufacturing industry that such a thing was made possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, their swords, blades, and daggers were akin to lightsabers... Except that when it made contact with any object, it would release a paint-like fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like way, they would know if one was killed or hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baymard had done its best to create as many practice weapons as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out on the field, they would have to rely on quick thinking, terrain assessment, hearing, the ability to create ropes from plants, rock-climbing and even how to use their surroundings to their advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The popular assassin skills that all empires had in common were also enhanced and taught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like so, their competitions and tests of strength differed from Baymard's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can also be said that unlike those who had just 1 or 2 competitions a year, the Baymardians had 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was simulated with weapons and every technology Baymard had to offer, while another was simulated similar to how the other barracks operated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was so that in any scenario, whether there was technology or not, the Baymardians would be able to stand on the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also made them not rely on modern weapons too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for the 3rd competition, it could resemble any of the first 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher-ups would pick which one they felt needed more working on, giving the Baymardian soldiers another chance to better themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first competition for the year took place in the early months of January.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And today, the various brigades would send forth their best Companies and units to represent themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This drill was just in time to show how well they've mastered the latest drone technology that came out a month ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How well they used this to their advantage was what he wanted to see!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon and the rest briskly walked into the vast control center, with numerous monitors showing every corner across the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more, there were already official monitoring drones flying around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The official drives were bright camouflage Red to let everyone know they weren't part of the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they shouldn't feel too bothered about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if it were a green camouflage drone flying about, that would be an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was still spring, and the weather was not conducive for Hot air balloon air force unit operations since it would rain mid-competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning the air force units could more or less stay in fixed positions, moving their drones about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drones were waterproof and could even go under the sea if needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So one didn't have to worry about them getting damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon walked in with a stoic expression, taking his seat beside Lucius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're just in time,\" Lucius said, without even looking at Landon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attention was all on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just 2 more minutes and the show would officially begin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon leaned into his seat with an expectant gaze on the many screens before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Poison Lily Brigade, Black Scorpion, Blue Tarantula, and many other brigades were participating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon nodded at another in the room, taking up the communicator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green bottom came on.
