In the future, the Assassin Family would become one of the 10 Great Families, while Wang Zhong would become a 5 star general of the Federation. Ma Dong clenched his fists tightly as he fantasized about the future.
Only after everyone had taken their seats did the opening ceremony officially begin at 10 in the morning.
All of a sudden, a hundred metal platforms popped out from the domed roof of the venue. On each of these metal platforms was a gigantic rune cannon of the latest model. As the sounds of 'cannons firing and music playing' rang out from the rostrum, the hundred runic cannons suddenly started to move their muzzles in an incomparably orderly manner, aiming towards the sky.
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang …
The loud and shocking sounds of cannons instantly drowned out the clamor in the venue. The Federation's technology and military strength had always been something that caused the great empires to fear. The sound of over a hundred of the latest model runic cannons firing at the same time was even more frightening, akin to a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting apart. This caused quite a few of the visitors and important figures from the empires to jump in fright. However, the changes that occurred next caused quite a few of their friends from the empires to feel somewhat at a loss.
Not only did the sounds of the hundred runic cannons explode out, gigantic clumps of energy exploded in the air, transforming into a bright and resplendent multi-coloured river of stars. Akin to heavenly maidens scattering flower petals, they illuminated the entire bright sky with a myriad of colours.
This was closely followed by the second round, the third round …
At the same time as this vast scene unfolded, the 5 star general of the Freedom Federation, Carlos, who was in charge of hosting the opening ceremony, took the stage!
"Everyone rise!" General Carlos, who was over fifty years old, was brimming with energy, not losing the slightest bit of the awe-inspiring aura he had when he was in his prime. "Play!"
Everyone present stood up at the same time. Amidst the sounds of the cannons, the 'Freedom March' of the Federation started to ring out in the plaza. Regardless of the participants, the host on the rostrum, or the commoners in the surroundings, everyone placed their fists on their chests and started to sing along with the high-spirited music.
The sound of cannons ringing in the air continued to ring out, a total of 25 rounds. When the 'Freedom March' came to an end, the multicolored lights of the rune cannons formed the words' Long live the Freedom Federation 'in the sky.
The shocking sounds of the cannons, the strange and flourishing scene in the sky, as well as the cohesiveness of everyone spontaneously singing the 'Freedom March', caused the people from the empires to be shocked. Perhaps, there were a few diehards who felt that the Federation's usage of rune cannons in such a place was a symbol of decadence and degeneration. However, the majority of them were still shocked by the direct impact. Such a magnificent man-made spectacle, as well as such a vast momentum, was something that absolutely could not be seen in any of the empires. Furthermore, the unity of the people as they sang the 'Freedom March' in unison, as well as the rumours that the people of the Federation were not united and loved to bite each other, were also destroyed by this scene.
This was undoubtedly a grand display of the Freedom Federation's strength and cohesiveness to the entire world!
Countless balloons were released the instant the music ended, causing the entire stadium to be filled with jubilation. Only then did General Carlos slowly start his speech for the opening ceremony.
Other than the standard official speech at the start, Carlos did not deliberately use any words that were aimed at the international level. Instead, he focused his attention and attention on the participants below him. While speaking in a serious manner, there were also some traces of relaxation present within his words. Although this opening ceremony was definitely a show to the few great empires, it wasn't to the extent of having no bottom line. This was especially true for this iron-blooded general who had always been unyielding!
"… This world is currently ours. However, it's destined to be yours in the future! On this special stage, I hope that every single soldier will be able to display their own brilliance in battle! The great Freedom Federation needs all of you to possess the courage and wisdom to become heroes. Naturally, what I hope the most is for you all to allow me to retire early! "
As Carlos' humorous speech came to an end, the entire stadium erupted into a wave of enthusiastic applause and cheers.
With a smile, he handed over the hosting rights to the next person. "Next up, let's invite the chairman of the CHF organizing committee, Dell, to announce the situation of the divisions and the names of the 10 great seeded squadrons!"
A bald old man dressed in a black suit quickly walked up to the stage with a stack of information in his hands and started to make his announcement.
Just like the previously announced information, the 4 divisions were the Grozny City Division, Heaven's Fate Division, Bella Dean Division and Martial Emperor City Division. Adding on the host city of this year's Stuart City, they were the cities where the 5 upper families of the Federation were located.
These 5 upper families were located in the 'core region' of the hundred cities Federation, which was also the central region. They shared a common boundary, forming the safest region within the Freedom Federation. Seemingly a fifth of the Federation's population was concentrated within these 5 great territories, with the transportation between them being rather convenient. The distance between them wasn't too far. Due to the great efforts of the Federation and the great families, the wilderness they occupied was also the safest, with the armored railway basically not suffering from the attacks of mutated beasts. This region was the one that was truly dominated by humans. In fact, it was common to see humans travelling through the wilderness in this region. Naturally, the 5 great cities were also divided into the Federation's East, South, West and North regions according to their geographical orientation.
Dell was the first to announce the distribution of the ordinary squadrons, while a balloting machine was being displayed on the large screen.
Upon reporting to Stuart City, every squadron had already been allocated a number. Over 400 numbers were randomly matched up by the machine. Within a short span of a few minutes, all of the ordinary squadrons had already been allocated to their respective regions. At the same time, the Skylinks of all the squadron members immediately received the results of the match.
Low buzzing noises immediately rang out across the stadium, as everyone hurriedly looked at the results.
The Tianjing squadron had been allocated to the Grozny City Division. Coincidentally, the Giant God Peak Academy beside them had also been allocated to this division. Seeing this, Dicaprio's eyes lit up. "See? What did I say? We're fated! Relax, we'll definitely pass through the elimination rounds."
At this moment, Wang Zhong was already speechless towards this friendly brother of his.
Chairman Dell's voice continued to ring out from the stage. "Next up, the 10 seeded squadrons, as well as the division they will be allocated to."
Clearing his throat, the buzzing noises in the stadium instantly turned much softer.
"Stuart Academy! Martial Emperor City Division! "
As Dell's voice rang out, a group of people seated in the front row stood up, before bowing slightly towards their surroundings. Carolyn, who exuded an air of nobility, the loli Wu Li, who had a slightly unyielding look in her eyes, the prodigal son Rennes, as well as the terrifying woman that appeared to be even heavier than a heavy soldier, Yi Luo. They were the 10 man squadron from the Stuart Academy, led by Carolyn. A gigantic 3D projection immediately appeared on the Skylink, accompanied by a data introduction, allowing everyone to see them. This was a great honour and glory.
Enthusiastic applause and cheers immediately rang out from all directions, with quite a few people shouting out the names of their idols.
Be it Carolyn or Rennes, these people were the eternal idols in the hearts of too many people. Just these few people alone were already more than enough to earn the heartfelt respect from everyone. What's more, they were the organisers, as well as the oldest powerhouse in the history of the CHF, Stuart!
"Martial Ghosts and Divine Emperor Academy! Bella Dean Division! "Before the people from Stuart could return to their seats, Dell had already called out the next name.
Martial Ghosts Divine Emperor was the representative squadron of the Gui Family, consisting of the confident sword hero Gui Hao, the ice-cold princess Gui Xinying, as well as the murderous Gui Lie. A group of people were dressed in the Gui Family's unique black cloaks, with a dark-red ghost head imprinted on them. Standing ramrod straight, they gave a uniform salute to their surroundings.
Martial Ghosts Divine Emperor was the representative squadron of the Gui Family, consisting of the confident sword hero Gui Hao, the ice-cold princess Gui Xinying, as well as the murderous Gui Lie. A group of people were dressed in the unique black cloaks of the Gui Family, with a dark-red ghost head imprinted on them. Standing ramrod straight, they gave a uniform salute to their surroundings.
"What everyone is looking at now are the squadron members of the Martial Ghosts Divine Emperor Academy." Unlike the chaotic cheers and cheers coming from the stadium, Ruo Zhi's voice was rather clear in the Skylink broadcast. "The Martial Emperor City is the headquarters of the Gui Family, while the Martial Ghosts Divine Emperor Academy is also the most unique academy within the Federation. The academy is centered around the family, with the Gui Family pouring their heart and soul into nurturing the outstanding talents within the academy. This year, there are 2 people within their squadron that have been ranked as the top 10 experts on the Mo's List. However, the most frightening aspect of the Martial Ghosts Divine Emperor Academy is their teamwork and discipline, as well as their tenacity.
"Grozny Academy! Heaven's Fate City Competition Zone! "Dell's voice continued to ring out across the stadium.
This time, the squadron that stood up was the Vasilyevich Family Academy, with Vladimir as their leader. 1 of the top 10 experts, and 2 of the super heavy soldiers. The strength of the Vasilyevich Academy was also widely regarded by the masses this year, with them occupying 3 spots on the Mo's List, just like the Gui Family. Furthermore, Grozny City was located towards the northern regions of the Federation, with their intrepid and valiant character. Due to the climate and conditions of the northern regions, the bones of the soldiers were much tougher and tougher than those of other regions, resulting in astonishing combat prowess. The Ice Prince Vladimir possessed absolute rallying power in the northern regions. Without a doubt, the Vasilyevich Academy was one of the hottest favourites for this year's CHF. Coupled with the Stuart Family and the Gui Family, these 3 great academies possessed strength that far surpassed the other academies. Therefore, the evaluation given by the CHF was the highest'S + '.
The audience and participants in the stadium responded with enthusiastic applause and cheers. Faced against other squadrons, ordinary squadrons might still have the desire to win. However, for squadrons like the Gui Family and Stuart Family, all that was left was worship and admiration. They didn't even have the qualifications to feel jealousy. In reality, the 3 strongest families only had each other as their opponents. It was said that the Gui Family's Gui Hao and the Ice Prince Vladimir both admired and admired Carolyn very much. No one knew if the 3 most outstanding youths of the Federation would spark any different sparks.
"Seer Academy! Heaven's Fate City Competition Zone! "
With Divian and Jormungar in their ranks, the Seer Academy was undoubtedly a super first class squadron. However, they still felt slightly inferior when compared to the 3 freakish academies before them, with their evaluation being S +.
"Heaven's Fate Academy! Grozny City Competition Zone! "
Mo Wen, Mo Ling, Napier and the rest received the fervent cheers from the entire stadium. In fact, within the Federation, the ones with the most imposing aura were undoubtedly the Stuart Family, the Gui Family and Vasilyevich. However, in terms of numbers and perception, the Mo Family undoubtedly took the lead. All along, the Mo Family had never participated in the internal disputes within the Federation. This was a rule that the various great families had tacitly agreed to. Furthermore, due to the Mo Family possessing the bloodline of a Heaven's Fate Master, the Mo Family's status was extremely important. The Heaven's Fate Academy's evaluation of them as S rank was due to the Mo Family's strongest person, as well as the successor of the Heaven's Fate Master, Mo Xingchen, not participating in the CHF. Amongst the younger generation, Carolyn, Gui Xinying and Divian undoubtedly had countless pursuers. Any young elite with a bit of self-confidence would hope to obtain the favour of their goddess with a good performance in this CHF. However, no one dared to covet Mo Xingchen, as Heaven's Fate Masters were not allowed to get married.
Although she wasn't able to participate in the CHF, Mo Xingchen had still arrived at the arena. When she stood up, she immediately received even more fervent cheers from the entire arena. That's because everyone knew that when the Federation encountered a crisis, the Heaven's Fate Master's judgement would point out the direction for humanity. To put it simply, the most popular person was, without a doubt, All Mouthy King. Mo Xingchen had predicted that All Mouthy King would participate in the CHF, causing the entire CHF to receive even more attention. Although a single All Mouthy King wasn't able to change the situation, he had indeed added many variables to the entire CHF.
"Divine Dragon Academy! Heaven's Fate City Competition Zone! "
"Torres Academy! Grozny City Competition Zone! "
"Copperfield Academy! Bella Dean Competition Zone! "
"Bella Dean Academy! Martial Imperial City Division! "
"Fiery Arrow Academy! Martial Imperial City Division! "
Every time Dell called out the name of an academy, the academy would stand up to welcome the fervent cheers and cheers from the audience. Ruo Zhi and Little Yu 'er's commentary on the Skylink were considerably brilliant. The 10 Great Families were extremely famous throughout the entire world, especially in a place like the Tutankhamun Empire. The fame and deterrence of the Federation's great families had, to a certain extent, surpassed the Tutankhamun Empire's regime! With Ruo Zhi's eloquence, a few words of advice from him would always cause people's blood to boil with excitement.
However, what caused quite a few of the participants to feel slightly regretful was that the 10 great seeded squadrons had indeed been completely split up by the 10 Great Families. At the very least, there was a person from each of these families that was ranked on the Mo Family's List, with the majority having 2 people on it.
Taking advantage of the glory of the great families, it was only natural for the other cities that belonged to those families to be their territories. However, for the Copperfield Academy, Divine Dragon Academy and Fire Arrow Academy, be it the Potter Family, the Zhao Family or the Musk Family, all of them did not rely on their territories to develop their family's influence. Instead, their existences were the ones that made up the cities they were in. The few academies that were ranked S- had, in fact, given a certain chance to the A ranked academies. Naturally, the 10 great academies would do their utmost to protect their honour and dignity. If they were to be trampled on in such an important competition, they would have to give up their place in the top 10 rankings.
After the 10 great seeded squadrons had enjoyed countless amounts of glory and cheers, the entire opening ceremony gradually came to an end. What caused people to be surprised was that Dell did not directly announce the specifics of the first elimination round. Although the laymen in the audience might not have noticed this problem, it caused many of the participating squadrons to feel slightly perturbed and confused.
