Not only that, but the main streets in the Capital of the Silver Alliance are wide and flat. Walking on them, the two felt like salted fish. But then again, even salted fish have their own dreams. They were a pair of dreamers, and it didn't matter what others thought of them.

Although the beautiful women looked at them with scorn, it was understandable. New Humans like Amelia looked at ordinary humans as if they were on a lower level. These New Human brutes had natural advantages that ordinary people couldn't compete with, including their reaction speed, memory, and the percentage of brain development they possessed.

After getting a feel of the grand scale, the two decided to retreat quickly. By the time they returned to the military base, the Normandy fleet was already bustling with activity.

The reason was simple. Though the upcoming Mecha Battle Alliance competition was largely a formality, not all participants were of the Red Robe Level. There were also regular soldiers picked for their exceptional performance, for considerations of maintaining balanced abilities among the alliance members. Footage of this historically significant short competition would be broadcast by the FCA Alliance TV's military channel.

Therefore, each alliance was ramping up their training efforts.

In the Moonlight Fleet at Hell's Gate, the soldiers were not as tense as those in the federation. If Rekart is considered the city of the New Humans, Hell's Gate would be their nation. While it may not have the majority of the population, its second place status has stayed unchallenged for millennia.

Indeed, whether in terms of technological level, cultural quality, or rankings, they were among the world's top. Hell's Gate was not afraid of challenges - particularly when the federation filled the bottom ranks. Moreover, the two young federation soldiers the FCA Alliance feared most did not appear. One was Sky Shadow, slated to be promoted to the twelfth tier. The other was the enigmatic Roland.

Who was stronger among the two wasn't clear. However, what could be said for sure was that no twelve-tier officer would dare to claim a certain victory over Sky Shadow. A survey had suggested that Sky Shadow reached ace strength a long time ago, but he had concealed it.

As for Roland, it was difficult to say as there was very little research material on him. Mirami had only heard rumors that Roland was a national of Hell's Gate for some reason and joined the Federation. His battle record was on par with Sky Shadow's, undefeated.

As for Raymond, yes, his strength was indeed powerful. But his arrogance and indifference to others, his frequent disobedience to military orders, presented no real threat.

As for Reiko, hailing from the Democratic Nation of Weibang, her fighting style was balanced in offense and defense. She had great containment skills and superior defense, with decent attack power. Her performance has been very stable, and among the twelfth-tier officers, she was in the middle. This type of soldier was likely to become like Blue Storm at the peak.

So far, the only opponent Mirami felt confident decisively winning against was the federation's. Of course, she wasn't afraid of Reiko, but Reiko was too stable, which meant Mirami couldn't afford to make any mistakes. However, when hand speed increased to 300 cards, elites of Red Robe Level might drop pins, which meant redundant or useless operations.

The evening came quickly, a time of the prime viewing time. Rekart was no exception. On the eve of the Mecha exercise, the Silver Alliance's supreme speaker personally made a speech, wishing the competition a complete success. This was, of course, a way to imbue the morale of the soldiers before the war.

The best show was naturally reserved for last. Initially, it was just a duel between ordinary mobile soldiers, but it was worth the mobile soldier lovers' viewing.

The first battle was between Yang Yong of the federation and Little Cheng of the Democratic Nation of Weibang.

When the two mobile soldiers stepped onto the battlefield, the audience exploded with cheers as if the Red Robe Level soldiers had appeared.

In the federation grandstand, Amelia could only silently pray for victory in this battle. Because for the subsequent battles, there was no way the federation could win possible. In addition, there would be a confrontation at the ace level today, but it wasn't her concern, as there was no one in the federation for the ace confrontation.

Yang Yong chose the main model of Gun Riders, while his opponent, Little Cheng, chose the main model of demon beast from Weibang.

Gun Riders belonged to the midsize mechas, combining firepower, mobility, and defense.

The Demon Beast model was a light mecha, which emphasized mobility and attack power, but had weak defense and a single method of attack. However, in fair competition, each fight was up to a certain point. Although there was a risk of death, each pilot would take every fight seriously, as alliances were not enemies; injuring anyone was not desirable.

On the field, Yang Yong, a soldier nearing his thirties, also knew clearly the situation the federation faced. Hence, he must give his full strength, and couldn't easily yield even in dire situations.

Luckily, the contest among the regular soldiers was conducted by lot. As a veteran who had served for eight years, Yang Yong was one of the best in his spaceship crew in Mecha fighting.

On the other hand, his opponent was but a soldier who had only been enlisted for three years. Whilst he couldn't be called a novice, his experience was nowhere near that of Yang Yong, which is why Yang Yong couldn't afford to lose. To him, Little Cheng was a greenhorn. If an eight-year veteran was defeated by someone enlisted for three years, he might as well go back to his village and farm.

When Little Cheng from Weibang appeared on the field, as soon as he saw the data about his opponent on the light screen, he couldn't help feeling nervous. Facing an eight-year veteran, his chances of winning were low. But on the contrary, if he lost the battle, it would be reasonable, and if he won, he may get an exceptional promotion. This could be a godsend opportunity for Little Cheng to exchange his musket for a cannon, couldn't it?
