Chapter 249

The rules this time mean that more than half the people will be directly eliminated. Unlike the very relaxed atmosphere of previous Mid-Season Trainings, this time there is clearly a powerful pressure. In the past, the Mid-Season Training was truly just training—a bit of improvement, a bit of gilding, preparing for the S Tournament—but this year, they are drawing a blade internally first.

In the hall, white lines have been drawn; each white line holds exactly six people, seemingly prepared for the major teams, but there are no labels on them. First come, first served—this is very different from the past. Many people present have participated in previous S Tournaments, and in the past, such places had nameplates assigned according to rankings, but this year is different.

Whatever position you think you are in, stand in that position.

The standing space in the hall is fan-shaped, narrow in the front and wide in the back. There are two positions at the very front, then four positions in the second row, ten positions in the third row, and the other teams are crowded together at the very back.

Clearly, those who dare to occupy the first sixteen positions must have sufficient confidence in themselves.

The Mid-Season Training is full of gunpowder from the very beginning. Many people have arrived but are not in a hurry to occupy a position; instead, they are watching, because the big shots always have to pick first. Some things are not just first come, first served; you also have to see if you are worthy.

The first row is undoubtedly occupied by North Caro. As for the other one, currently, the ones qualified to occupy it are either the Round Table Knights, Ockman, or GRU, or perhaps the Dome Royal Military Academy from the Ocean Region, which has been the most fierce lately. Curtis of Qiongdong has been too fierce recently; as the head of the New Five Tigers, he is the king of the new forces.

But who can stand there is really hard to say. All four teams have a chance. The Mid-Season Tournament is full of provocation from the start; nothing is inevitable. If you want it, go take it yourself!

Of course, even if the ones above cannot stand in the first row, the second row is secure.

And the only remaining position in the second row is a contest between more than ten veteran and emerging teams; this is very intense.

But compared to the third row, it is nothing. Although there seem to be ten positions, the remaining dozens of teams are not here to be foils. They are here to enter the S Tournament; who isn't full of confidence and high spirits?

And as long as they aren't compared to North Caro, everyone else has a chance. Since they have come here, no one is made of mud.

In the monitoring room, two men wearing major general shoulder insignias are watching the situation in the hall. This Mid-Season Training, which concerns the face of Earth, is also under their full responsibility: Major General Sazerac and Major General Lu Donglei. The spots for the sixteen teams are also in their hands.

Looking at the situation inside, the expressions of the two are not good. The military department has been ruthless this time. In the past, the Mid-Season Tournament was held within Earth, choosing places with excellent conditions for actual combat mecha sparring, with the best equipment, while equipped with various tactical analyses to maintain a good atmosphere, but in the end, they found that the results were worse every year.

This year, they have completely reformed. The mecha operating system currently used by humans is the Katz Bionic System. All attacks originate from the coordination of the body and the synergy of the brain. While there are some auxiliary functions, the strongest combat power of a mecha comes from the pilot. Moreover, with the use of K23, an unstoppable major trend has emerged: top combat power will have a qualitative leap, and those super warriors who possess the Golden Zone will completely explode with combat power.

This is no longer just a matter of a competition; it concerns the combat power landscape of the Four Great Federations. To put it bluntly, it is a military competition. Whoever falls behind will have their say in the Solar System Alliance weakened.

This Mid-Season Training mainly focuses on excavating the warrior's own power. As for mecha tactics and team coordination, that is the business of the teams; every team has done much more research in this area than they have.

"This year, North Caro is our hope, but this kind of monopoly reduces competitiveness. It is not a good thing for North Caro either," Sazerac said.

"Not this year," Lu Donglei smiled and lit a cigarette.

"Oh, do you have any news? The Round Table Knights or Qiongdong still have a gap compared to North Caro."

"I'm not very sure either, I still have to see," Lu Donglei is really not sure, but he has expectations.

In the hall, people have already started standing in the fourth row because they feel they are not qualified to stand in the first three rows, so they are at least finding a relatively forward position in the fourth row in advance.

In the third row, the Extreme Shadow Way Military Academy and the Black Rock Military Academy have already arrived and occupied two positions in the third row. Both are famous teams. Whether it is Cang Gongtian or Yan Peng, both are hot. The two team leaders looked at each other without communicating. Cang Gongtian is one of the New Five Tigers recognized by the military, while Yan Peng is the First Heavy Armor of the USE. He is a third-year student at Black Rock this year, but Yan Peng has already dominated the heavy armor field for two years; he is a proper senior.

Other lower-ranked teams also gave up watching and started to occupy positions in the fourth row, all discussing and seeing who dares to stand forward; it seems the contest has already begun.

It seems there are no rules, and whoever wants to go up can go up, but if you are truly not qualified, you will be driven away. If you are about the same, you might even have a fight.

Other competitions have rules in this regard, but the Mid-Season Training does not; it has always been that the strong are the kings.

Whoever is awesome is the boss.

With a burst of noise, everyone looked at the door. The heroic Aofei led the Round Table Knights team to arrive. Aofei scanned the audience, saw Yan Peng, nodded, and led the team toward the front.

Everyone stared at Aofei. With Aofei's qualifications and strength, she is definitely the most qualified to occupy the first row besides North Caro. Although the pursuers behind are very fierce, it has not been verified. At any rate, the Round Table Knights were the top eight in the previous session; at this time, the first move is very important.

Long time no see, Senior Sister Aofei's beauty is still so powerful, everyone turned their heads one after another.

But when Aofei walked to the second row, she suddenly stopped. After thinking for a while, she occupied the first position on the left of the second row.

Suddenly, there was a discussion in the whole hall. What is the situation???

Are the Round Table Knights so cowardly?

Afraid before the battle?

In fact, before the competition, the North Carolina Alliance had long been buzzing. North Caro leads the five top teams. It can be said that in this part of the USE, no one dares to resist, even Aofei. Could this be Aofei's way of submitting to Chao Qinglong?

You know, many people admire Aofei because Aofei does not care for the number one person in the USE, Chao Qinglong, and in past competitions, she fought extra hard when playing against North Caro, which can be considered tit-for-tat.

What is going on?

In the observation room, Sazerac and Lu Donglei were obviously quite dissatisfied. What is the most criticized thing about the USE?

Weakness, lack of killing intent, lack of fighting spirit. A young person is not a young person without being crazy. They actually hope that they will fight inside first to at least stir up fighting spirit. North Caro is pinned with high hopes, but without opponents, it will only weaken. The Round Table Knights are whetstones. Now that the whetstone is cowardly, what should they do?

Greg was also a little surprised, and his face was a little ugly. That first-row position, besides North Caro, should be their Round Table Knights, but he would not question the team leader at this time. Once entering the Mid-Season Tournament, the team leaders of each team are the Supreme Leader. However, Chen Ang and Mo Yu realized something.

Amidst everyone's discussion, the Sea Shark Military Academy arrived. Luo Dongsheng took the lead, and the Sea Shark team members were in high spirits. Under the envious eyes of everyone, they walked to the third row and stood with Black Rock and Extreme Shadow Way.

In fact, the higher the level, the less aggressive they usually are, waiting for opportunities instead.

Luo Dongsheng and Cang Gongtian looked at each other, their eyes full of irrepressible confidence. They glanced at the people from Black Rock. This time, the new and old forces will definitely have a replacement, even within the North Carolina Alliance, competition exists.

The big shots arrived one after another. With golden curly hair, full of wildness, and a self-contained light buff, Mad Lion Robbie arrived.

Before coming, I don't know how many people were staring at the "weakest" one among the Six Dragons, but when Robbie actually appeared, the whole audience felt huge pressure.

Robbie brought Mil Sannan and others to the scene. The Cougar Team's iconic lion battle robe looked exceptionally domineering at this time.

Robbie glanced at the group of people in the third row and walked toward Aofei. The Cougar Team occupied a position in the second row.

Everyone was not too surprised. With Mad Lion's personality, not grabbing the first row was already quite low-key, but his second row has hidden dangers. There are a total of six positions in the first two rows, and it is not enough to arrange between the Five Tigers and the Six Dragons.

Solomon also brought the Udier Team. He also watched for a while, but soon found a position in the fourth row and stood there. The position was not very good, but Solomon did not intend to fight for it, although standing like this looked a bit silly.

Solomon discovered a problem, which is that the white lines are clearer the further forward they are, and more blurred the further back they go. And it is not a straight line, but dense, short, single-person lines. While everyone was focusing on the dazzling positions in the front, this situation was naturally ignored, but Solomon soon counted clearly that there were only twenty-eight team positions in the short lines at the back, missing two teams.

After Solomon led the team members to stand still, he began to look around. Brother Li hasn't arrived yet, which is a bit of a headache. The Skycom of the team members entering the venue have all been confiscated, and they cannot contact the outside world during the entire Mid-Season Tournament.

In turn, Solomon smiled again; it seems there is no need to worry too much about this.

The GRU Military Academy arrived. The super team led by Lomachenko and the Dilacenzo brothers, GRU is really the veteran among veterans, always maintaining a powerful level. In countless replacements, they have never fallen from the top level. They have a special status in the USE.

Lomachenko led the team through the crowd, went straight to the second row, saw Aofei and Robbie, and nodded slightly.

Robbie laughed, "Lomachenko, when did you go bald?"

Lomachenko is the kind of fierce face with distinct edges and corners, the kind that is creepy even when smiling, "I shaved it, little curly hair."

This counts as a greeting between the Six Dragons. At this moment, feeling the style of the big shots, the members of other teams were truly envious.
