There is no objection to this so-called national observation group competition, in addition to all the representatives to participate, some nearby mercenary groups and even kobold representatives are also invited. The competition is scheduled for three days later, and it has already begun to be advertised, set up and so on.

Judging by the way they look, even this kind of competition is intended to be a business to make a profit. The site is located on the roadside of the main city and the airport, cutting down a small forest. This time, the dragon knights were not idle, and they were naturally extremely efficient in their work.

Several good locations around the site have already been demarcated, and businessmen with vision and strength have begun to set up their own temporary shops, and when the time comes, the flow of people here will increase, and it will be enough to make a lot of money selling snacks and magic swords. As a person who sells imitations, the swingman will not miss it at this time, although there is Bradley Sword Saint in charge, can he still catch the peddler himself?

The three-day preparation is actually very tight, and after registration, you have to go through a test, because you need to be grouped according to your strength. Regarding the strength test, the vindictive spirit directly looks at the color, and the magic is tested with a crystal ball, which is no problem. It's just that the red fighting spirit is actually divided into four stages, and the first-order warriors to the fourth-order warriors are all red fighting spirits, not to mention that the standards of various countries are different, and there are still differences between regions in the same country.

There is no way here, you can only deal with them all as fourth-order warriors, and if you are really not confident, then quit by yourself.

At this point, no one will quit because of this little thing, and they have been preparing for three days. The inn began to be filled with practice sounds such as "drink, ha". Sain and the others were not idle, and in this competition, except for Kevin, they all participated.

Kevin's health has basically improved, although he has a little illness, but he was originally borrowed to shirk it, so he doesn't have to worry too much. I was more worried about the battle situation of the kobolds, the rebels attacked in two directions, although it was still far from besieging the princess's main city and even attacking the capital of the government army, but the momentum was really not good.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the rebels won two more battles, but fortunately they did not capture the new main city, and it seemed that they also needed to slow down a little and consolidate their strength. Here, the grand competition of observer missions from various countries was held on time.

The site has been built, and it is directly a big pit dug on the ground, a square pit of 50 by 50 meters, about ten meters deep, which is used as a competition venue, and the pit is very simple and full of soil, and there are many truncated tree roots coming out. The excavated soil is piled up around the outside of the pit, and when it is slightly leveled, it becomes a stepped shape, which is considered an auditorium.

The outer circle is surrounded by wooden piles, and at first glance it is thought to be an orc-style building. There are a few tents and a few broken cars scattered on the side, as those powerful merchants' shops, and around here are a large number of vendors who set up stalls on the ground.

Kevin could see that their construction level was actually very sloppy, and the strong people were very destructive, but they were not necessarily skilled at building things. Especially the audience seats, if they are not built well, they are easy to collapse, and now they are all digging pits and piling up soil, and they can't collapse if they want to.

This place is obviously also a one-off, although it is simple, but at least the people of the empire have put in the effort. It's just that if you still want to make money by the way, it's not so easy, the businessmen have long been crowded, although the various routines are full, but it's a pity that the wolves are more and less meaty, there are so many people in this city, and there is no fresh blood coming in, so they can only play tricks on each other.

Early in the morning, all the participants began to go one by one, and the kobold guards had already opened the road, and everyone was bustling, because the distance was not far, everyone was walking.

Kevin and the others walked in the middle of the team, Sain and the others surrounded him intentionally or unintentionally, and just a moment, the old General Bradley actually came over in person.

"Mr. Kevin's health is okay today?" As soon as he came over, the eyes of the people on the side naturally attracted him.

"Much better. Kevin replied politely.

"Do you need to add your name?" Bradley asked, "It's a shame not to compete, isn't it?"

"No," Kevin replied, "I'm just recovering from a serious illness, so it's not appropriate to exercise vigorously." ”

"That's a pity," Bradley sighed, "and with my strength, I can still give you some guidance in battle." ”

Kevin just smiled: "Maybe there will be a chance in the future." ”

"Do you remember the last time I met you in Lou Pauler's tavern?" Bradley recounted the past, "and the bards in the tavern at that time were originally talking about routines, but when they saw you coming, they forcibly converted to patriotic education. ”

Kevin nodded: "I remember that day it was just after the old general gave a speech in our legion, and if it weren't for me, the catapult commander, I wouldn't be able to go out at will, and I wouldn't have seen you." ”

"In fact, there are some military exchanges between the Empire and your country, and it is normal for me to give a speech to the Knights of Thunder, we are not enemy countries after all," Bradley replied, and then changed his words, "I remember that you had already proposed the idea of building a network with parrots, but I didn't expect it to come true now." Now that I think about it, I really feel like I'm missing out on a talent. ”

Kevin said modestly: "I didn't come up with the idea, I just read too many books." ”

"I remember you had a crow with you?" Bradley remembered really well. At that time, Kevin used crows to perform in the tavern many times, and the crow's performance had already attracted attention, and Kevin deliberately mentioned the problem of the parrot network in order to change the topic.

It's just that now Kevin simply no longer evases: "Actually, this crow escaped from the laboratory." ”

The surroundings were instantly quiet, and the steps of Sain and the others paused briefly, and now they could understand the imperial Chinese. Bradley was also slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, he began to change Pauler's Chinese communication: "About this matter, maybe I know more than you." ”

"Oh?" Kevin was slightly curious.

"But I won't say much here," Bradley sighed, "In fact, many of the so-called secrets have long been known to the upper echelons, and some grassroots personnel are still in the dark. Aren't you very sorry that the people at the grassroots level are fighting for their lives and deaths, but they don't know anything as a result?

The ambassador was already frowning on the side, but Kevin just smiled: "Regret, of course regret." But how?"

Bradley smiled, "I'm a guy who likes to go on outings, and one day I passed by a hilly area with a small cave in it that caught my attention. I distinctly remember what seemed to be a fierce fight there, and there was a line of writing on the cave wall. ”

Kevin was silent, and just sighed for a long time.

"It seems that you are mentally prepared?" Bradley observed Kevin's face, "Has the domestic high-level already revealed it to you? Or do you see it yourself? I feel that the high-level should not say it." ”

Kevin was silent for a long time, and a trace of sadness passed over his face: "That incident is indeed a big regret for me, after all, I am a weak person, and sometimes I will become some victims." From the current point of view, it may be similar to the Smitta. It's just that the death of the Smecta people doesn't feel much to me, and Gray, I'll remember it for the rest of my life. ”

"Aren't you going to do something?" asked Bradley.

Kevin shook his head: "Each period has tasks that should be done in each period, and there are major and secondary. Every period also has enemies in each period, and it is necessary to distinguish between enemies and friends, and also to distinguish what period of enemies. What do you say?"

Bradley nodded slightly: "Then who is Kevin's enemy at this stage?"

Kevin smiled: "At this stage, there is peace, where are the enemies?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, the atmosphere was harmonious, but the people on the side listened to it in a cold sweat, as if they had gone through a battle.

As he spoke, everyone had already arrived at the competition venue. The kobold guards rushed into the stalls and swept their way out. Everyone rushed in, shouting one after another, but basically no one paid attention, and there were even gambling games that were opened, claiming to have more or less odds. But those who have lived here for a long time know that these are just routines. There seem to be a few vendors fighting for their stalls in the distance, but no one pays attention, who knows if this will also be a routine?

Walking into this humble venue, each looking for a seat to sit down, the seat is just a plank, of course, not very comfortable. Looking around, the number of people here plus kobolds is only a few thousand, and the scale of the competition is already very small.

This seating arrangement is not very particular, because there are far more seats than the number of people. If you get along, you can sit together, and those who like quiet also have a lot of quiet corners. At this time, there are a lot of people who want to squeeze together with the Empire, whether it is Van Meer or Bradley, they are all Imperial allies sitting next to them, and Kevin and the others have found a farther position.

Seeing that the crowd was almost coming, Van Meer jumped into the middle and made an opening remark with a wind megaphone. It's nothing more than thanksgiving, friendship first, competition second, and so on.

Kevin looked around, counted the number of people in the empire, and everyone was there. That is, if the kobold princess starts any war at this time, it should be a good time. But how much of a twist can this moment make them?

On the field, the draw has been completed and the first pair of players has already played. But when everyone looked at it, they didn't know each other. It's probably just a person from a mercenary group, and the empire has also found some to make up the numbers in order to prevent the number of people in the game from being too small.

The two players were armed with wooden knives and shields, and Van Meer announced the start as the intermediate referee. But the battle between the two of them is really invigorating, probably only their own mercenary group is more excited, and the others have already talked about it.

In fact, not many people are interested in low-end battles, the battles between fighters are not as cool as spells, and this is a war zone, and low-end battles are usually all over the streets. At this time, he is still holding a wooden knife and a wooden sword, and even blood will not be splashed, so it is naturally difficult to arouse people's interest, if it is not in the morning, it is estimated that many people will yawn.

Naturally, Sain and the others were not interested in the boring battles, but instead they were all thinking about the conversation between Kevin and Bradley just now. The ambassador has already come over: "What he just said is ......"

"You should know that the Knights of Thunder have experienced a great defeat," Kevin replied, "and in the process of exterminating the bandits, the losses have been great. And the eldest son of the regimental commander, that is, Sain's brother, also died there. I didn't want to mention it, but I didn't expect him to take the initiative to bring it up. ”

The ambassador nodded slightly: "I've been abroad, and I really don't know much about these things." ”

Kevin shook his head: "There was indeed a mastermind behind the scenes, but I believe it won't be him." Otherwise, I would not have been able to smash him with a catapult, and I would not have survived until now. ”

Even if it wasn't him, he now seems to have admitted that most of it was instructed by him. The ambassador speculated.

On the side, Sain's face flashed with embarrassment, and he turned his head to look into the distance. Kevin just waved his hand: "Our main problem at the moment is not this, the reason why he brought this up is to divert my attention. It's best to ignore it. ”

As he spoke, the match in the pit had already come to an end, and one side broke the other's wooden sword, and Van Meer immediately intervened and declared one side the winner.

"In the second game, according to the results of the draw, McGee of the country was invited to play against Lou Pauler national Sain. Van Meer roared, then applauded himself.

Sain stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked nervous. McGee looked happy and flicked his hat at the audience.

"Come on. Kevin and the others spoke together, and Kevin also added, "Friendship first, competition second." "The meaning is obvious, let Sain not take it too seriously, it's just a game.

But judging by Sain's expression, it seems that he doesn't intend to play it as a game. McGee had fooled him, and although it had been a long time since he didn't usually mention it, he still had some ideas whenever he had the chance.

The two jumped into the pit at the same time, and Van Mill smiled at the two of them, and stretched his hand to the side: "Please choose the right weapon for the two of you." ”

There were basic weapons such as wooden knives, wooden guns, and wooden shields all around, and McGee casually picked up a wooden sword and came over, but Sain was extremely serious. Every weapon was touched, tried, and even flicked with his fingers, as if to hear if there was a secret wound.

"Uh...... Time is limited, please hurry. Van Mill couldn't help but urge.

Sain nodded, and finally picked out a wooden gun and stood next to the referee. Van Memeer whispered to him, "Actually, you can't beat him." ”

Sain was startled, and immediately his face was full of disbelief, but he didn't say anything.

"Are you all ready, ready, let's fight!" Van Mill flew back, leaving room for the two of them.

Sain immediately charged with a spear, and at the same time as the red fighting spirit erupted on his body, a white teleportation array appeared out of thin air beside him, and there was a sound of horses' hooves in the array, and he actually summoned a horse at the moment of charging.

Kevin was still very emotional when he saw this trick, he used it on Kevin when he was fighting against the recruits. Sain had something like a magic tattoo on his body, and he used to be mentally weak, and summoning was time-consuming and laborious, but now he is finally proficient.

The charge turned into a run-up, and after two steps he had already turned on his horse, and the wooden gun was pointed at McGee. With this impact, even without a gun, it can knock a person half to death.

There was an instant exclamation from the audience, and Kevin couldn't help but stand up, feeling that Sain was too much for a moment, and it was not appropriate to really hurt the opponent. But when I thought about it, there were so many strong people here, Fan Mill and the others didn't move, and they didn't have to worry about anything at all.

McGee saw the gun in front of him, and in an instant, a white teleportation array appeared. There was an angry roar in the formation, shaking the whole field, and in just a short moment, the white teleportation array had disappeared, but Sain had already fallen off the horse.

"Griffon?" Many people in the field saw that there was a phantom in the teleportation array in front of McGee just now. But because it just disappeared in an instant, it was not real.

However, as a member of the expatriate observation team of the-Nation country, it is completely normal to have the imprint of certain families. Maybe to really summon it, it will require extremely high strength, and I'm afraid that with McGee's ability, it can only summon for a moment. But sometimes a moment is enough.

Sain was frightened by his horse and fell off his horse. In order to defuse the force of the forward rush, he had to roll forward on the spot, and the roll rolled directly to McGee's feet.

McGee reacted almost instinctively, riding directly on Sain, jamming his neck with his sword: "I won!"

Van Memeer trotted over: "Well, McGee!" There was a round of applause from the Empire.

Sain: "......"

Van Mill chuckled: "Just say you can't beat him." ”
