The Triumphal Square of the San Pero Empire is now crowded with people, surrounded by thorn-studded military flags, and under the flags are columns of upright soldiers. In the center of the square there was a high platform, and directly in front of the high platform stood a group of young faces with immature faces, which were none other than the sixteen teams of the Imperial Elite Tryout.

"Why don't you set off yet? It's been in the sun for almost a morning, and the organizer doesn't have a fart, it's really damn his god! No, I can't stand it, third brother, you can help me get the box first. After Roddy handed the square box in his hand to Quinn, he took out the fan from his backpack and fanned the wind desperately, and beads of sweat quickly slid down the fat man's red face.

"I can't hold on so soon, you really can't change the problem of dragging the oil bottle!" Quinn, who was already carrying a box in his hand, still took Roddy's box and complained.

"I'll get it." Caesar, who was standing in front of several people, turned around and took the box, and said without objection.

"Boss, I, I'll just come... Well, alas, I said that the organizers have indeed dragged on for too long, is it deliberately hanging us here in order to suppress our arrogance? ”

"That's not it, the implementation of this competition is the responsibility of the military, and the military should not be bored enough to care about the minds of a few students, you see, the 'reason' is here!"

Silly Xiaogua pointed to the team of the four imperial exchange groups that were walking into the square with the head of the military.

Quinn's expression became serious, he looked at the four participating teams from the other empires, and said, "It seems that what the second brother predicted has come true!" ”

The fat man looked frightened and said, "Wouldn't it become more dangerous if the competition system has changed!" ”

Quinn said flatly: "The change of competition format is both good and bad for us, fortunately, with the increase in the number of teams, our only first-year team can fish in troubled waters, and even if we are lucky, we can also take advantage of the fisherman, but the bad part is that because we are the only first-year students in the final team this time, each of them is naturally willing to pick up soft bones to gnaw, so we are very likely to be targeted." Of course, with our current strength, it has not yet been decided who is the real prey to send the mouth, but the effort should still be saved. But...... No matter what it is, you still can't escape the ending that you will definitely be beaten. In the end, Quinn didn't forget to tease the fat man.

Du Xiaogua nodded and said, "Well, let's first listen to what the specific format of this elite selection competition is, and then plan it in detail." ”

"Yes." Quinn answered, and joined the others in turning their attention to the high platform.

The person in charge of the event dressed in the imperial military uniform first guided the four imperial exchange teams to the designated position, and then walked onto the high platform, and the loud military voice suddenly resounded through the huge square.

"Silence! Quiet! ”

"The elites of the Empire must have been waiting impatiently, you must be curious as to why you are being assembled, some of you may have heard some news, yes! This year's Elite Trials format has changed! Every team present is eligible to participate in the final round, and the specific schedule is as follows, I will only say it once, and if there is anything I don't understand after that, I can only regret to tell you, then leave with regrets. ”

"This year's final is [Field Team Scuffle], where sixteen teams from Imperial College and four exchange teams compete for the only championship spot! This selection competition adopts a token point system, and I will distribute a token to each team team as a starting point, and then, you will have a three-day point competition in the [Field Martial Arts Field] provided by the military in the future, you can get the token on the opponent's team by defeating the opponent, and the token is robbed, and the team with zero tokens can still continue to grab the tokens of other teams, but the time is limited to two days, and on the third day, the team with zero tokens on the body will be automatically eliminated. The remaining teams continued to compete until the sun went down on the third day and the tryouts ended, when the team with the most tokens on them was the winner of this year's Elite Tryouts! That's all there is to the finals, and I would like to remind you that this is only a tryout, and you are allowed to hurt your opponent on the way, but you are not allowed to kill your opponent. Even though you are playing in the wild, you will be monitored throughout the whole process, malicious murderers, and other crimes! He will be judged by the criminal laws of the Dao Empire, but! Some people should not be lucky, they are defeated and stubbornly do not hand over the token, then, we are not responsible for any injuries! All right. After so much rambling, wait for everyone to get the token as soon as possible and get the [Military Magic Armor] and go to the [Field Martial Arts Arena]. ”

After speaking, the head of the military stepped down and ordered the soldiers to hand out the tokens to each team one by one.

Silly Xiaogua took the token in the soldier's hand and looked at it carefully. The token is half the size of a palm, and the texture should be made of a variety of metals, which is very hard.

"Grab your stuff and let's go! Especially Roddy, optimistic about our living materials, that is the key to our victory in these three days. Caesar instructed.

The fat man wanted to pat his chest to promise, but his hands were short and fat, and he finally slapped his round belly, and said with red eyes: "Don't worry, boss, whoever wants to snatch food from me, then step on my corpse first, and then say, he is bright!" Dare to rob my Uncle Luo's things, I don't share the sky with him! ”

At this time, the team in the center of the square began to move slowly, one by one, towards the [Military Magic Energy Armor]. When Caesar, Dumb Melon, Quinn, and Fat were about to enter the car, a thin figure ran through the crowd to Silly Melon.

"Wait for me! Brother Xiaogua. ”

When I looked at it, it turned out to be Catherine.

"Didn't I tell you you you weren't going to use it?! Go back! ”

Catherine grabbed the dumb melon's arm firmly and said, "Don't! I'm also a member of the team, and I'm going to be in the tryouts as well. ”

Quinn turned around and said, "Princess, we are not going to the countryside for fun, we are going to fight, and it is inconvenient for you to be a girl." When the time comes, if there is any injury, Your Majesty will be angry, we can't afford it! You still go back to see the calligraphy and painting, we have the right to participate in it, and when you win the championship, the prize money will not be less than your share, you will stay at home and pray for us. ”

"I'm not in it for the bonus! I'm a member of this team, so I'm naturally eligible for the tryouts, and besides, I'm much more useful than Roddy, so why do you just let him go? You see, I've got even my own rune armor ready. Catherine lifted the case in her hand.

When the fat man heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "That's right! Yes! Princess Catherine is much better than me, or... I change Catherine and pray for everyone at home! ”

At this moment, Caesar glanced at the fat man calmly.

The fat man shook his fat and hurriedly said, "It's still counted... Forget it! I'm the backbone of this team, I can't be absent, Princess Catherine, you can go back, with my Roddy here, I will definitely bring you a championship back! ”

"It's enough for us in the tryouts, godfather will worry about you." Silly melon looked at Catherine and said.

"It's okay, I've already told my father, he... He agreed that I would go to the tryouts with you..."

The little melon didn't speak again, just looked at the maid costume that Catherine was wearing at the moment, and then looked at Catherine's twinkling eyes, as if to say, "You really persuaded your godfather to allow you to participate?" ”

"Oops... No matter! Anyway, I have to go! Catherine lowered her head in embarrassment, but her body was more close to the little melon.

"What are you guys doing here? Don't hurry up and go! A soldier came over and shouted.

"Gone, gone! Aren't we going to fight for the championship, so don't delay here. Catherine nudged the dumb melon.

The little melon had a bitter face, and was about to ask others what they could do, but when he looked up, he saw three cold backs that had nothing to do with him.

——

On the [Military Magic Energy Car Armor], a few people and six or seven teams sat together, and at this moment the air in the car was filled with a tense atmosphere, and many people were sitting in danger on the surface, looking ahead, but in fact, they were secretly looking at the opponents around them, estimating the strength of the opponents. The interior of the car was invariably quiet.

Caesar closed his eyes as soon as he entered, and Quinn, who glanced around the car, fell asleep with a lack of interest, for he was able to memorize the information of his opponents in the car, and there were no teams that threatened him. As for the fat man, you can tell from the saliva on the corner of his mouth that he has already feasted in his dreams.

Catherine was quiet... As soon as she got into the car, Catherine looked around like a curious baby, looking at the roof of the car, looking at the people around her, and listening to the outside of the car for a while. If it weren't for the little melon, it is estimated that this princess would be able to go to the car armor to be dismantled.

In this way, in this strange atmosphere, the car armor kept moving. And there's no end to it as soon as you drive. It wasn't until five or six prayer hours had passed, and everyone was tormented by the bumpy armor that they were dying, and the inside of the car gradually became agitated. Roddy, who was too sleepy by the bumps before he could get enough sleep, was the first to complain loudly.

"him the god of light! Are we here to race or to go to jail? It's not there yet! Where are they pulling us to?! ”

Kui was also slightly uncomfortable at this moment, and said with a frown: "According to the speed of the car armor and the time we have been sitting, it is estimated that we are almost at the border of the imperial capital realm now, and it seems that the martial arts arena prepared by the military for us is large enough." ”

"I don't care where I am, I just want to get out of the car now, hey, my old waist, I don't know how many chicken legs I have to eat to make up for it..."

Kata!

Before the fat man could finish speaking, the chariot that had been praying for five or six hours actually stopped.

After a while, the armor was opened from the outside, and several fierce-looking soldiers glanced inside the car. At this moment, the sky outside was already a little dark, and a soldier at the head pulled a young man sitting closest to the exit out of the car, and then said expressionlessly: "Get out of the car with a team with him!" ”

The four young men on the side looked at each other a few times, and then jumped out of the armor together.

After the group had all gone out, the soldier closed the door again without saying a word, and a moment later the armor began to move again.

"What's going on? Why did you get off a team? ”

"What the hell is the organizer going to do, let us sit for so long, and don't explain anything to us."

"Could it be that there is another mystery in the tryouts, otherwise why would it be so strange if it is just a competition?"

The car began to buzz.

Quinn pondered for a moment, then said to Caesar, "Boss, I think the tryouts may have officially begun, and depending on the format of the finals, I guess the organizers are now putting each team in a different part of the arena so that we have time to prepare." ”

Caesar nodded slightly and said, "Well, you all pack your things and get ready to get off." ”

Then, as Quinn expected, every once in a while, the car armor would stop and let a team get off, and when it was the fifth stop, it was finally Caesar's turn.

When Caesar, Dumbmelon, Catherine, Quinn, and Roddy got out of the car, they found that they were surrounded by trees, and the curtain was drawn on the earth, and all around them were pitch black, which looked terrifying.

Quinn took out a few alchemy fires from the fat man's backpack, twisted them a few times, and saw a glowing rod dispel the darkness around him at once.

Quinn looked around with interest and said with a smile: "The organizer is really bold enough, if you leave the students in such a wilderness at night, aren't you afraid of any accidents?" ”

Caesar looked around for a moment and said, "Let's find a place to light a fire and rest and eat, every team has been in the car for such a long time today, it is estimated that they all need to rest, and there will definitely be no competition tonight." ”

"I think so too." Quinn agreed.

Maybe girls have the natural attribute of being afraid of the dark, Catherine has been pulling the dumb melon tightly since she got out of the car, and her weak eyes are completely on the dumb melon, not daring to look elsewhere.

"Brother Xiaogua, let's quickly find a place to rest."

Silly Xiaogua smiled speechlessly, took an alchemy fire from Quinn's hand and called it to Catherine's palm.

"You take this, don't worry, we're going to go."

Caesar took out another alchemy flame and twisted it, and said: "I will go ahead to open the way, the third brother and the fourth brother will press the two of you, Catherine and the second brother will be in the middle of the team, and the second brother you take care of Catherine." ”

"Okay, big brother!"

Perhaps, because there was a girl in the team, Caesar and his team were lucky enough to find a cave left by the beast, and cleaning it was an ideal resting place.

When he came back he found some wood nearby, and when he came back, he saw Catherine making a fire at the mouth of the cave, and when the flames grew larger and larger until they became a raging flame, Catherine laughed happily as if she had accomplished some great achievement. The fire shone brightly, and Catherine's face was painted with patches of black ash by herself. The little melon sighed in his heart, he could enjoy the care of others and live a comfortable and luxurious life, why did he have to suffer with him.

After the cave was cleared, everyone took out food and began to eat.

"Now I'm going to talk about our plan of action tomorrow, because the finals will be held for three days, we can't do our best at the beginning, otherwise it will be difficult to continue later, so we still implement the strategy of saving as much effort as possible, try to find weaker teams, with the information I have collected, it is not difficult to do this, if I am not wrong, there will be an alliance of two teams or even more teams tomorrow, if we bump into it, we can avoid it or avoid it, of course we can also try to find some team alliances, Especially our team of students at Lannister Higher School, in the first stage, there are no irreconcilable contradictions, they should be considering.

"Well, tomorrow you will do what you said, by the way, have you collected the strength information of the four imperial exchange teams?" Caesar asked.

"Because of the sudden change in the competition system, only the approximate collection was obtained, among them, the most notable is the team of the Targaryen Empire, the captain is the prince of the Targaryen Empire, Abraham, whose strength is extremely strong, it is rumored that three years ago, when he was still fifteen years old, he took a hundred soldiers and horses to destroy a nest of nearly a thousand sand bandits, it is estimated that this team is the most powerful team in this selection competition, and the other three teams, according to the known information, the comprehensive strength assessment I made from strong to weak is Derian of the Onassis Empire Roy's team, Alan Gale's team from the Siber Empire, and Brian Selt from the Roman Empire. I think that apart from the Targaryen Empire's team, we can snatch the other three teams we meet. Quinn analyzed.

"Well, that's it, let's rest early." Hearing Quinn's words, Caesar stared at the firelight for a moment in thought, his eyes flickering, and then suddenly got up and walked towards the improvised bed made deep in the cave.

Quinn glanced at the stupid melons and Catherine sitting around the fire at the entrance of the cave, and then suddenly pulled the fat man up and walked towards Cave 1.

"Let's go, fatty, go to bed."

"Hey, I'm not sleepy, am I?"

"No, no, no, you're sleepy."

"I... Uhh You! Take your hand off my neck, the fat man is about to be strangled by you. ”

After Quinn and Roddy left, there was a sudden silence around the fire at the entrance of the cave, and the chirping of wild insects, the crackling of burning wood, and the breathing of people were amplified to the ears.

Dumb Melon and Catherine stared at the constantly beating flames in embarrassment, and never spoke.

Flutter!

At a certain moment, a chuckle came from the ear of the little melon.

"That's great!"

Looking over in surprise, Catherine's eyes were still on the firelight, but there was a smile on her face.

"It's been a long time since I've stayed with two people like Brother Xiaogua, and I remember a lot of things from the past!"

The little melon turned his head and continued to look at the fire, recalling the past in his mind. With the recollection, the little melon suddenly realized that the little girl who regarded herself as her own sister originally occupied such a large part of her memory, although she tried her best to forget the beautiful memories because of that oath, but some feelings were unconsciously rooted, growing in flesh and blood, and could not be cleaned up again. After discovering this, the eyes of the little melon were much softer.
