Section 201 - Going to war

The dueling ground between the Slan Empire, the Tessi Empire, and the Republic of Portland is located about fifteen miles west of Delan City.

The royal family spared no expense, using magicians and a large number of workers to build a circular dueling arena with a diameter of about 100 meters in just a few days.

If the Li sisters were here, they would have been amazed at the magic and greatness of their magical power, and they had built a duel venue with a scale almost the size of a football field with astonishing efficiency without the use of various modern equipment such as cement and cranes.

In the center, the arena was neatly laid with heavy granite blessed with earth-based spells, and sprinkled with a thick layer of sand and salt powder.

Surrounded by more than 10 stepped viewing platforms, the audience will be composed of royalty, aristocratic and wealthy businessmen who have spent a lot of gold coins to buy tickets, and the venue will be divided separately according to different identities.

The shaded stands were reserved for the royal family, and the envoys and warriors of various countries were seated on the left and right sides of the royal family, and across the duel arena was the aristocratic quarter, and on the left and right were the viewing points of merchants and wealthy families.

Each area is strictly divided, with its own exit and separation zone, and anyone who dares to cross the Thunder Pool will face a relentless attack from the royal guards and enshrined mages.

After the duel arena was built, it was immediately taken over and sealed off by the city guards and royal guards, and even within a radius of five miles, it became a high-martial law zone until today.

As the brigade officially arrived, flags were hoisted around the arena, court attendants ran back and forth, various ornaments and utensils were arranged in every corner, and soft and exquisite cashmere carpets covered the stone brick floor.

The entire magnificent dueling arena was gradually decorated with magnificence from the inside out, and the royal majesty of the Slan Empire was the same everywhere it went, even if it was not as rich as Adrisig.

Under the arch of the royal guards, His Majesty Cyril, the Emperor of the Silan Empire, and the princes and princesses sat in a spacious and bright room. Inside a private room with a great view.

Lin Mo turned around and glanced at the royal box, what the captain of the guard Giles said was right, this is indeed a location with an excellent view, every corner of the duel arena can be seen, and at the same time, it can also take into account the duties of the guards, if the enemy wants to attack the royal box from the duel arena, then his position is a must pass.

To the left and right of the royal box, there are two other boxes, which are not for the guests, but reserved for the royal family's Dharma gods and sharpshooters.

If you look closely. It can be found that these three boxes in the shape of a simple crown resemble three bulging structures of bastions, which can cover the entire interior of the dueling arena with a long-range striking surface, without any dead corners or omissions.

As soon as he stood in his position, Lin Mo immediately sensed that several powerful spiritual forces were sweeping inside and outside the dueling arena, and even swept over his body without stopping, it was the Dharma gods worshiped by the royal family who were conducting on-site security checks to identify whether there were hidden dangers.

Immediately after that, in several corners of the dueling arena, there were suddenly fluctuations of the light element system that Lin Mo was extremely familiar with, and there were also rounds of translucent light mirrors, and someone was releasing the light mirror technique. Probably the monk of the Bright Court who was in charge of the live broadcast.

It was only entry time, and there were still two bells before the duel began, and Lin Mo casually removed the Type 95 automatic assault rifle mounted on his back.

Simply comparing the firing rate, the automatic assault rifle can defeat any sharpshooter-level powerhouse below the third order. Especially in this situation, the role and reaction efficiency of firearms are far more effective than that of swords, guns, bows and crossbows.

According to the usual practice, Lin Mo casually released several rounds of light mirror techniques beside him to expand his perspective. The light mirror floating at his side began to automatically capture the inside and outside of the dueling arena, as if multiple high-precision cameras were monitoring.

I have to say that a warrior who can cast spells will be very eye-catching no matter where he is, and he will also be very stylish. The sudden appearance of a guard who could unleash the Light Mirror Technique under the royal box immediately attracted a lot of attention, especially the monks of the Bright Divine Court.

The vast majority of light elemental affinity owners under the firmament are members of the Bright Divine Court, and the occasional appearance of one or two light elemental fighters or spellcasters who are outside the Divine Court often attracts the attention and curiosity of the Bright Divine Court.

If it weren't for Lin Mo's identity background of royal force, perhaps the Bright Divine Court would have sent someone to woo him to take refuge under the seat of the God of Light and become a paladin who can enjoy the light.

After talking to one of the chamberlains at the door of the box for a while, the chief of the inner palace, Fan Si, suddenly leaned into the ear of Emperor Cyril and whispered: "Your Majesty, Lord Alsop, a diplomat of the Tessie Empire, has sent someone to tell you that in order to ensure fairness, the selection of dueling opponents must be based on the lottery system, and they have already made a lottery box. ”

A flash of anger flashed in the eyes of Cyril, the Emperor of the Slan Empire.

State-to-state diplomacy is full of all kinds of intrigues and shamelessness, and this kind of temporary change of fortune can be regarded as a combination of the Slans on the spot.

"What if we refuse?"

Cyril glanced at his children, who had a look of anticipation and forced themselves to pretend to be calm, and continued in a tone of suppressed anger.

"They will refuse to participate in the duel and join forces to declare the Slans guilty in the duel!"

It was another move to repay the other way, and Fan Si was also sweating behind his back, and the five countries reacted very quickly when they saw the move, and they refused to suffer a loss.

In this way, the strategy of dragging the lower and creating a local advantage to win was useless, and the two sides had to rely on their strength to fight hard without any pretense.

"Okay, it's all at this juncture, and if something happens, it's not good for us, notify them, let them be careful, if they don't fight, just admit defeat, I won't blame them." ”

It has to be said that Emperor Cyril was an emperor who was sympathetic to his subjects, and he knew that he could not do anything, and even if he fought with his life, he could not win the battle, but it was better to be single, so as not to sacrifice the lives of these warriors in vain.

A warrior's fate should be on the battlefield, not on the battlefield in front of him.

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

Grand Manager Van Si quietly slapped his own emperor's ass.

As time passed, the number of people in the dueling arena gradually began to increase, and in addition to the dignitaries and dignitaries in the imperial capital, there were also some wealthy people with amazing financial resources who came to open their eyes.

Just by watching the battle, the royal family of the Slans made a lot of extra money, and the Tessis and Portlanders could only pretend to turn a blind eye, because the Slans would not even give them half a copper.

In a sense, it can be regarded as watching a monkey show, and it is self-evident who the monkey is.

In this diplomatic war between the Slan Empire and the five countries, the five countries tried their best to find any opportunity to hit the morale and popular hearts of the Slan Empire, including this duel is also a very important part.

Once the common people completely lose confidence in their rulers, a country will be like a weak woman who has been stripped naked, and only the share of being ravaged by others will be left to be ravaged, and the royal family of the Silan Empire will do everything possible to prevent this from happening.

In the morning, at nine o'clock, with the sudden sound of a large gong, the buzzing dueling arena immediately fell silent.

At this time, nearly a hundred strong men shouted trumpets and carried six strangely shaped metal pillars to the edge of the dueling arena and set up six top edges.

Each of the metal cylinders, about two people tall and one person can be hugged, glowed with silver runes and spell circles, and implied some mysterious pattern, inlaid with gems of various sizes, resting securely on a special tray on the bottom.

If you connect all the metal columns with a pen, you can easily get a standard hexagonal shape that just encloses the dueling arena.

Six people in alchemist costumes stood beside these metal pillars, just one of them, and a person was standing next to one of them, each holding a few special strange instruments in their hands, measuring something, and from time to time the strong men carefully moved the metal pillars, as if they were calibrating the angle of some together.

A moment later, the six alchemists drove away the strong men, and they stood beside the metal pillar, pressed it with one hand, and shouted three times in unison, as if they had a soul in their hearts.

Airplanes!~

A pale blue glow flashed in the air, and an almost transparent standard hemisphere shrouded the dueling arena upside down.

There was no doubt that the six metal pillars engraved with mysterious runes and magic circles on their surfaces and inlaid with many magic crystals were enchantment-type alchemy weapons, and the six alchemists easily activated the enchantment function of this alchemy weapon, completely isolating the dueling arena from the observation platform.

After all, a seventh-order warrior can release the battle qi to form a faint battle qi flame attached to the body surface, and can even release a more ferocious out-of-body battle qi slash.

Such protection is a must.

As a testimony to this duel, the envoy of Ibiza and a prince of the Adrisig Empire invited by the Slan Empire, plus the envoy of Anstrasser, the envoy of the Republic of Larne, and the envoy of the Malaga Empire jointly invited by the Tessie Empire and the Republic of Portland, as if after rehearsal, you read the meaning behind this duel to everyone in the dueling arena and those in Deland who saw the live broadcast of the magic.

In front of everyone's eyes, the whole people testify, once it is announced, if you want to deny it, your reputation must be stinky.

The information released on the spot was slightly different from the notice that the empire had published in the public area of the city, but it was even more surprising, and it also succeeded in arousing people's hatred and hatred, after all, at this time, the fact that the five countries joined forces to deal with the Silan Empire could not be concealed.

With the sound of another heavy gong, it is a sign that the most brutal duel is about to be staged.

A Slanist and a Tessi each walked up with a chamberlain carrying a wooden chest, and according to the requirements of the Five Kingdoms, the first duelist would be drawn on the spot.

Some people recognized one of them as the Minister of War, Duke Adelaide of Ocassi. (To be continued......)
