The Royal City Competition is a tradition of the Kingdom of Pontos and is held every year on the occasion of the King's birthday.
The mercenary group that has won the title of the private competition area in the past three years is the Tie Ya Mercenary Group. With its excellent performance in the Royal City Competition, the Tie Ya Mercenary Group has also become the number one mercenary group in the Kingdom of Pontos.
.
The one that has won the most championships in the official competition area is the Bloody Lion Corps under the First Prince. This army can be called the first iron army of Pontos. It has killed countless beasts and barbarians with its strong strength and serious military discipline.
, won a total of 4 championships.
As the private army of Herod, the Storm Army is naturally unable to participate in the civilian competition area. Therefore, the representatives of various corps in the official competition area are the Storm Army's biggest opponents.
Although Shiloh was very confident in his Stormtroopers, he still had to deal with them carefully.
Since you follow Roddy's orders to participate in the competition, there is no need to lose miserably to hide your clumsiness. You must do a good job in studying your opponents.
Shiloh's goal is to win the battles that should be won and lose the battles that everyone thinks are very different in terms of strength.
The performance does not need to be too dazzling or eye-catching, nor does it need to be too embarrassing or ridiculed.
There were 200 Storm Army soldiers who came to Pontos with Hilo. Except for 50 knights, the other 150 were basically system soldiers.
Although most of the system soldiers have not been upgraded, they are still a force that cannot be underestimated.
After all, the system comes with not only the physique of a warrior, but also valuable combat experience. Even if such a team cannot defeat some elite regiments, it can easily defeat the private armies of the emperor's relatives.
The rules of the competition are very simple. There can be a maximum of 100 soldiers and 1 commander in the corps. The rules of victory and defeat are to capture the opponent's commander or capture the opponent's battle flag.
As long as you complete one of them, you will be judged to be successfully promoted.
After figuring out the rules of the competition, Shiloh immediately found Connor as soon as he returned to the mansion.
Connor stayed at home for a while, and his spirits were obviously higher after he came back. When he heard Shiloh saying that the Storm Army would participate in the King City Competition, he immediately nodded.
"Your Highness, rest assured. With the strength of the Storm Army, I am confident that I will bring the Storm Army into the top 24."
Shiloh's face froze, and he asked with some embarrassment: "Is this... the King City Competition so difficult? Connor, you can lead the team yourself to reach the top 24?"
Connor nodded and said seriously: "The Royal City Competition is a battle of honor for each legion. The Pontos soldiers regard honor as life and will definitely go all out.
There are now a hundred legions in Pontos, and none of them will miss this competition. Together with some noble private armies, there will be at least more than 200 teams participating in this competition."
"The top 24 are enough to prove His Highness's strength and dignity."
Shiloh suddenly realized it and was about to speak when a long-lost system prompt suddenly sounded in his ears.
After not hearing any dings from the system for such a long time, Shiloh almost forgot about the system. With a stern look on his face, he immediately opened the system panel.
[Ding...temporary mission released]
[Temporary mission: The victorious army
Participate in the Royal City Competition and become famous in the Western Continent (please win at least the top 12 seats in the competition)]
[Task description: "We don't ask how many enemies there are, or how powerful they are...we only ask, where are they!!!"]
[Task reward: Primary legion formation!]
[Evaluation: Gentlemen - I like war!]
Shiloh licked his lips lightly when he saw this temporary task.
"Connor, if I want you to lead the Storm Army into the top 12, is there any chance?"
Connor hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Highness, the Royal City Competition is extremely difficult. The Storm Army has just been established. Compared with some long-established legions, there is no chance of winning. The top 24 is already the limit of what my subordinates can do.
Already."
Shiloh hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Connor, actually the Storm Army still has a secret... Well, please come here and don't make this matter public."
Connor immediately lowered his head, and Shiloh leaned over and whispered a few words. The look on Connor's face slowly changed from indifferent at the beginning to surprise, and finally nodded.
"The soldiers of the Storm Army actually have such special abilities... Your Highness, if we are lucky, among the top 12, we should be able to give it a try."
Shiloh nodded, a sharp light finally flashed in his eyes.
He has been pretending to be a grandson since arriving in the royal capital, and now it is his turn to feel proud.
"Then the whole responsibility will be left to you, Connor."
----------------------------------------
The process of arranging the participating team is very simple. Before the trip, we newly exchanged 25 sword and shield soldiers, archers, spear soldiers, and armored guards, which can be enough to form a team of 100 people.
Connor also has some small calculations of his own. The 50 Royal Knights are now part of the Storm Army and can serve as a trump card. If they suddenly appear, there may be miraculous effects.
After reporting the formation of the Storm Army overnight, the next day, Shiloh received the lottery for the Storm Army to participate in the competition.
The Storm Army is ranked 22nd and will fight against a noble private army ranked 21st. The winner will advance to the top 96.
Although he wanted to participate in the competition with the Storm Army, as a prince, Shiloh needed to accompany Roddy to watch the competition, so he could only let Connor lead the team.
The venue of the competition is the Colosseum in the Royal City. The entire Colosseum is made up of huge stone pillars. There are dozens of layers of spectator seats, which can accommodate thousands of people. It is quite grand and full of the feeling of ancient Roman fighting.
The smell of the zoo.
The terrain here is flat and vast, and the central area is covered with a layer of fine sand dyed pink, exuding a faint smell of blood.
The competition in the private competition area in the morning has ended, and it is the turn of the official competition area in the afternoon. At this time, nobles of all sizes are sitting around in the spectator seats, discussing the winner of this competition.
"The winner of this competition is definitely the Bloody Lion Corps led by the eldest prince, there is no doubt about it!"
"The eldest prince can naturally win the championship, but I heard that Prince Hilo also sent his private army to participate this time. I don't know how this team will perform."
"Hey, I hope you won't be as ridiculous as His Highness Hilo before."
On the high platform of the Colosseum, Rody sat at the front, watching with interest the two troops fighting each other in the arena. He nodded and ordered his attendants to reward those with outstanding performance.
This time Shiloh was personally appointed by Roddy to accompany him to watch the game.
The weapons used by the two fighting regiments were genuine iron weapons and were completely made according to the kingdom's standard armaments, so it was extremely common for blood to be spilled on the battlefield.
Although the scene was a bit bloody, the crowds who were sitting around and watching would occasionally shout excitedly, which showed that the people of Pontos were martial and tough.
