The morale and energy displayed by the guards pleased Rocky, so he stepped forward to the crowd, nodded at Monte, and turned his gaze to the guards.

At such a time, as the lord of the city, he naturally had to say two sentences, and it was precisely because of this that Rocky was also very nervous, because he had never spoken in front of hundreds of people, and this was the first time for him.

So while looking at the guards, he was also thinking about what he was going to say, but he performed very well in the process, although his heart was constantly drumming, but the expression on his face was full of majesty, which gave the guards a feeling that the city lord was looking at everyone.

After a while, Rocky spoke:

"Guards, do you know what I'm here for today?"

"Yes!"

As soon as Rocky said this, the guards lined up in front of him replied in unison.

"Good. ”

Hearing the answer, Rocky nodded, and at the same time waved his hand, Lilia next to him immediately understood, and then took out a rune shield from the row of boxes behind him, no, it should be said to be a 'magic energy shield'.

Holding the shield in her hand, Lilia looked at Rocky and activated the shield's magic when she saw him nod slightly at her.

In an instant, a faint halo appeared on the shield held by Lilia in her hand, making the originally ordinary shield suddenly extraordinary.

Seeing such a scene, the guards immediately came to their senses, and a wave of excitement appeared in their eyes.

For these guards, magic weapons are already considered treasures, not to mention that they have used them before, they have never even seen what real magic equipment looks like, and they have never thought that they can use such high-level equipment.

So when Lilia took out the rune shield, no, the magic shield, and activated the magic energy, how could the guards in front of them not be excited?

However, everyone is excited, but they also know that not everyone can get these equipment, only the best among them can get it, which makes everyone even more energetic, and they are all gearing up.

And the excitement that everyone showed was exactly what Rocky wanted to see.

He felt that it was more effective to say anything at this time than to show the real guy directly, and as he thought, the guards were mobilized at once.

So he then cleared his throat and said loudly to the crowd, "Today, I will conduct a test on you! ”

"And those who perform well in the assessment will be rewarded with a one-star magic shield and a one-star magic armor, do you understand?"

"Understood!"

When Rocky's words were over, the guards in front of him raised their heads one by one and roared with great momentum.

"Very good, keep up your current momentum, let me see your real performance in the assessment!"

After saying this, Rocky went directly to Monte, and then Monte stepped forward and said to the guards: "All stand up! Now announce the content of the assessment......

Regarding this assessment, Rocky has already discussed with Monte, the content is the simplest actual combat, let the guards be divided into pairs, and then have a one-on-one battle, and evaluate them by their specific performance in the battle, and only those who perform well in the actual combat process can get equipment.

This may seem simple, but it is the best way to test the strength of the guards, after all, these people will soon follow Rocky on the mission of the mercenary guild, and it is absolutely impossible to fight without strong combat ability.

It didn't take long for Monte to explain the rules of the assessment to the guards, and although everyone had expected this, when they learned that they needed to fight one-on-one, and that they could only get magic equipment if they performed well enough in battle, everyone's expressions changed somewhat.

Some of the guards became even more nervous after this, some of them even turned white, but others were also full of confidence, not only not nervous at all, but unconsciously curled the corners of their mouths, as if they were determined to win.

After that, Monte brought a box, which he specially prepared for this assessment, and the box was full of notes with the names of the guards, and it was all decided by drawing lots to ensure the fairness of this assessment.

"Your Excellency, please. ”

Bringing the box to Rocky, Monte apparently asked him to conduct the first draw for the assessment.

At this time, Rocky was also a little excited, so he directly reached into the box and scratched inside for a while before taking out two notes.

"Ramero, Mario. ”

Glancing at the notes, he read the names on both notes.

With his voice, the guards' eyes shifted and fell on the two people in the group, naturally Ramilo and Mario, who were named by name.

Both of them were around thirty years old, but probably didn't expect to be so lucky, or so unlucky to be the first to appear, both of them seemed a little overwhelmed, and it wasn't until a long time passed that they nervously walked out of the team.

"Cheer up! Play at the level you were training with, don't disgrace me!"

Perhaps sensing their nervousness, Monte yelled as Ramilo and Mario stepped out of the group and stood facing each other.

His voice sounded fierce, but perhaps he had become accustomed to this kind of loud voice in training, and Ramiro and Mario relaxed a lot.

And then, with Monte's order, the battle between the two began.

The battle lasted more than ten minutes before Mario defeated Ramiro to emerge victorious.

However, the victorious Mario did not get the magic shield and magic armor, because although he won, the performance of both him and his opponent was very average, and it is no exaggeration to say that the battle between the two was not brilliant except that the strength was relatively strong, and this performance was not recognized by either Rocky, Lilia, or Monte.

And whether it was Mario who won or Ramilo who lost, they obviously knew that they were performing badly, they were too nervous to play well in the battle just now, and they didn't even play half of their strength in training.

This is actually their problem, you must know that Rocky can't bite, if you can't play your true level nervously in front of him, then what should you do when you face the demon?

In the face of real demons, even a long play may not be able to save your life, if you play abnormally, it is not a dead end?

So in this case, neither Ramiro nor Mario got the coveted magical equipment, and the two had to return to the team in despair.

And with the return of the two of them, many people in the team also understood, they finally understood that this assessment could not be completed casually, and it was not enough for them to get magic equipment just by winning, they had to perform well enough, and this undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of the assessment.

As a result, the atmosphere becomes more solemn and tense......
