In the venue, it seemed like a pin dropping could be heard. Even the dense barrage of comments in the live broadcast room suddenly fell silent when the result of the match came out. A rare blank screen appeared.
Before the match started, no one expected this result.
After all, the mecha master sent by the Interstellar Alliance this time was Major General Creek, the number one member of the Ampsonton garrison troops who had a brilliant record!
The mecha he was driving was also his closest companion, a top mecha that had fought alongside him for many years. Now the mecha with countless military exploits had become a pile of scrap metal. It collapsed with a loud bang after the mecha pilot in the cockpit was ejected.
The pile of metal sizzling with sparks made everyone feel as if they were in a dream.
So shocking!
All the interstellar people watching this match, including the military generals and super soldiers from various nations, were shocked beyond words by this result!
What could be more devastating than being completely defeated in the era they excelled in? All the ridicule and complacency before the start became a joke.
There was a burst of sparse applause at the scene.
Slowly, more and more audience members were drawn in and joined the applause. The scene suddenly became a sea of applause and cheers.
Either way, it was a great fight!
The female mecha pilot from the Roland Empire deserved such respect!
The rescued Major General Creek stood on the sidelines, looking at his beloved mecha with an extremely dejected expression. There was none of the high spirits he had before the start of the match.
But no matter how sad he was, he couldn’t say anything and could only accept defeat.
In actual combat, it was normal for such things to happen, not to mention that this lady had already shown mercy.
At this time, a woman with silver hair and purple eyes jumped out of her mecha. The live camera gave her a close-up at the right time.
In stark contrast to her brutal and violent attacking style, this lady’s appearance and temperament could be gentle as water. Against the backdrop of the abandoned mecha emitting black smoke behind her, she gave people an indescribable feeling.
“I heard that this Miss Val is actually a princess!”
“Oh my god, no wonder she is so beautiful!”
“Obviously, in addition to her beauty, she also possesses immense strength.”
“Am I the only one who thinks that Roland’s mecha is too powerful? I even suspect I’m seeing things. Did that mecha turn into a puddle of water for a moment?”
“That’s right. If it wasn’t for this unexpected move, she wouldn’t have been able to dodge Creek’s powerful firepower!”
There was a lot of discussion in the audience. Dr Ding, who was sitting among them, couldn’t help pushing up his glasses to reveal a smile full of pride and joy.
He was probably the only one who wasn’t surprised by this result.
It was because on that day, the mecha technology that His Majesty handed over to the Imperial Research Institute was at least ten years ahead of other nations in the galaxy!
After his team analyzed this, they couldn’t help wondering whether the Roland Empire possessed time-related magic.
In addition, with the help of the sprite, they successfully applied inscriptions, an extremely magical technique of the magical civilization.
This was an unprecedented innovation!
He was certain that the five mechas they had brought out could definitely rank among the top ten in the universe in terms of performance. This wasn’t an exaggeration.
The pilots who drove these five mechas had all been tested in actual combat with interstellar beasts.
There was no need to mention Brady and the brave called Lin Mu. They were both survivors of hundreds of battles. The other three warriors, including Yu Sen, had been driving mechas in the wild to fight interstellar beasts almost every day during the over three months of training.
Their research institute also sent personnel to follow up and record data at any time, and adjust various parameters as quickly as possible to make the mecha more adaptable to the pilot and achieve a truly perfect coordination.
Under the management of the alliance, the universe had been peaceful for too long.
The defenders of Ampsonton could only engage in small-scale battles with the entrenched forces in the gravel belt. How could the intensity and danger of such a war be compared with the battles against interstellar beasts?
It could be said that every Roland soldier who had fought on the front lines had much more combat experience than the alliance’s mecha pilots.
Therefore, Dr Ding had full confidence in Roland’s army. Even if they couldn’t win a complete victory, the situation definitely wouldn’t be ugly.
Xu Sili’s thoughts were similar to Dr Ding’s. After the initial surprise, he quickly figured out the key point and his mood improved.
What was even more beautiful was—
[Ding! You have won the first bet in the Roland vs. Interstellar Alliance mecha competition. The prize money has been transferred to your Star Network account. Please check it carefully.]
[Ding! Dear His Majesty Roland, your account has received a transfer of 129,300,000 cosmic coins from the Interstellar Alliance. Please confirm.]
Yes, the Interstellar Alliance was obviously very confident about this competition and actually started a betting game before it started.
This type of officially organized betting game had a very complete supervision mechanism. The participation qualifications were open based on personal financial circumstances and Xu Sili had received an invitation.
Before the competition started, Xu Sili was so worked up by the whispers in the venue that he participated without thinking and bet 100,000 cosmic coins on Roland’s victory.
As a result, Aunt val actually won back over 100 million for him!
Xu Sili was no longer short of money but this didn’t prevent him from feeling excited. He directly transferred the over 100 million he received to Aunt Val. Then he looked at the next betting game.
Due to Val Roland’s stunning performance in the first match, this one was no longer as one-sided as before. The ratio remained at around 6:4 and the number of participants was significantly less than the first match.
Xu Sili didn’t hesitate and bet another 100,000 on Roland to win.
In the second match, Yu Sen came on stage.
He couldn’t actively trigger the effect of the inscriptions due to not awakening, meaning he couldn’t exert the maximum power of the inscriptions, but he still had no problem passively exerting the effects of the inscriptions. For example, increasing speed and reducing weight.
This was like adding a permanent buff to the mecha, bringing out the properties of the materials used to make the mecha to the extreme.
These passive bonuses had greatly increased the speed of the mecha, making Yu Sen as fast as the wind.
He and Val took completely different approaches, but their offensives were equally powerful.
Yu Sen had participated in three Genius Competitions and led his nation to achieve a top three result. He was originally a combat genius proficient in mechas.
As long as he didn’t encounter a perverted strong person like Si Sheng, he could beat anyone he met. Now that he had obtained a top mecha like the Flying Wing, he was even more powerful.
After being severely beaten by the interstellar beasts, he also clearly felt the improvement of his strength. Facing the masters sent by the alliance, he was still at east and dominated the battle from the beginning.
In the second match, Roland won!
Now no one could say that the Roland Empire won by luck.
Thunderous applause and screams rang out in the venue. Most of them came from the audience members who had won the bet, while those who lost again couldn’t help cursing.
As for the defenders of the Interstellar Alliance, their expressions were extremely ugly while the next contestants were sweating profusely.
Xu Sili was very happy. The amount won this time was a bit less, but it was still over a million. He transferred it to Yu Sen as an extra reward for his hard work in leading the team.
The next three matches were still a show for the Roland Empire.
This magical civilization, which had established its foothold in the universe with its powerful magic, once again used a unique mecha competition to tell the world that in addition to magic, Roland also had the most advanced technology!
The next three matches were more difficult and weren’t as overwhelming as the first time, but the victory still belonged to Roland.
That was enough. People often only cared about the results and not the process.
As the challenger in the last match, Lin Mu had the most difficult time winning.
After all, he was a player and his health was naturally lower than NPCs. He was more fragile, but he also had advantages that NPCs didn’t have.
In addition to not being afraid of death, he had no side effects from taking medicine!
For this competition, he took out all his treasured medicines. These rare health increasing medicines had been accumulated by him when he was doing various special missions.
He also tried to stack physical defense with his equipment. After all, this match didn’t involve magic and his opponent wasn’t an elementalist.
It was only after making sufficient preparations that he avoided dying in battle from the huge impact.
If he won this match, he would get the right to use this mecha for half a year!
It was only half a year, and it was only the right to use it, but Lin Mu was very satisfied with the reward. This was a top mecha that cost more than 100 million Escher coins. He wouldn’t be able to afford it even if he worked for his entire life.
Being able to pilot it for half a year was already far superior to others. It wasn’t known how many players envied and hated him when this reward was announced on the forum.
Now, he had successfully won this reward!
Once the final results came out, the organizer’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Xu Sili also received Adrian’s message, but Adrian obviously didn’t know what to say.
He expressed his complicated feelings with a string of ellipses. Then this excellent liaison officer made a very wise decision.
[Your Majesty, are you selling your nation’s mechas?]
Xu Sili read this message with amusement. Meanwhile, in the center of the venue, the victorious Roland team was receiving the post-match interview.
Val spoke as the representative, standing in front of the camera with ease and grace. She didn’t give any acceptance speech. Instead, in her gentle voice, she formally extended an invitation to scientists from all over the universe.
Roland not only had various magical benefits that technological civilizations couldn’t provide, but was also a hotbed for realizing dreams and ambitions. So what were they waiting for?
The interstellar watching the live broadcast couldn’t help thinking, ‘This advertising formula seems a bit familiar?’
