Lakfania is an artificial island with an area of 15,000 square kilometers, with valleys, dense forests, and even a ruined ruins. In the lower part of Lakfania are underwater thrusters made up of four huge ionic energy engines, which allow the island to sail in the sea at a speed of forty kilometers per hour.

Originally developed as an island by the Coral Group for the main purpose of tourism, it was once thriving in the early days of its opening.

But like most of the tourism industry, as time went on, the equipment deteriorated, and the business in Lakfania deteriorated until it finally entered a loss-making phase.

Soon after, it was sold to the Inmoon Corporation, which failed to flourish and declined. Since then, it has changed hands several times, and the price has dropped from 11 billion all the way to 3.2 billion. From a city to a crowd, it even became a paradise for criminals and a purgatory on earth.

One hundred and twelve years ago, the Storm Consortium bought this island for nearly four billion and invested heavily in renovating the island, making it the mecha training ground of the Storm Consortium and the Storm League.

Over the next hundred years, the island of Lacfania re-entered the Commonwealth through the Storm League, where the Mecha League was known for its brutality and high mortality rate.

In this way, Lakfania exchanged other people's lives for his own glorious rebirth, and at the same time earned the name of Dead Island, so the Storm League had an alias, called the Dead Island League.

In order to get a high enough viewing experience, the Storm Consortium has built an extra-long grandstand around the island, like a halo belt, surrounding the entire island. The grandstand around the island can theoretically accommodate tens of millions of spectators. There is a special floating passage inside the stands, and spectators can follow the players in the floating car, or they can choose to watch it through the camera.

More than 100,000 cameras are placed over Lakfania to observe the island from all angles.

The entire island is separated by an ion containment hood, like a large transparent bowl, so that the mech's fire will not accidentally injure the spectators due to misfire - the contest can kill the players, but it must not kill the spectators.

At this moment, Renault is standing in the small gate next to the diamond-shaped square of Death Island, wearing a mecha, like a gladiator in ancient times, looking out through the gate, you can see the audience shouting above the mountain and tsunami.

Renault didn't know how many spectators came to watch the game, but he knew that there were tens of thousands of mechs participating in the competition alone.

This is a very terrifying number, where tens of thousands of mech pilots will stage a death fight, delighting the audience with their lives and blood for money. Some people become famous and rich overnight, while others lose their lives.

According to the information collected by Xiao Budian and Li Zonghan, no less than 100 drivers die in the Dead Island League every year due to competitions. This may seem like a mortality rate of less than one percent, but in reality it is unbearably high – if a man knew that he would die once a hundred times on the street, he would be so frightened that he would not even dare to go out of the gate.

It is for this reason that before the start of each tournament, the Storm Consortium will sign a life and death contract with the players who sign up for the competition. If a player dies during the race, the consortium will pay death compensation according to the agreement, depending on the value of the player. As a newcomer, Renault's death compensation is 100,000, and the designated beneficiary is Claire.

To be honest, Renault's equipment consumption in the academy is more than this - the death agreement is ostensibly a compensation agreement, but in fact it is a waiver agreement.

In the grandstand around the island, the cheers continued, and a sexyly dressed host stood on the floating platform and shouted: "My dearest audience friends, welcome to Lakfania, the 108th Storm League will start today, I am the host Lilith, here for the more than three million live viewers and more than two billion TV viewers of Lakfania, the universe will be broadcast live!" Now, let's invite the players to appear!! ”

With the host's loud shout, the atmosphere of the scene boiled to the top, the door opened, and rows of heavily loaded mecha began to stream out from the back/platform.

The sound of rushing to the sky came in waves, making Renault feel a huge pressure even in the mecha, which made him feel a little nervous, and the operating system made a little mistake, so the Silverwinged Angel accidentally bent his knee during the process, and as a result, it fell to his knees.

Although Renault quickly straightened the Silverwing, this scene was still seen by the sharp-eyed host.

She shouted, "Oh, what did I see? It seems that one of the mechs made a mistake and it fell! ”

All the cameras are on the Silverwing.

The host's shrill voice rang in the ears of every viewer: "Let's see who this unlucky mecha pilot is?" Bring up his information......"

Renault appears in the Shadow Robes, with information about him next to him.

"Mr. Shadow? Participated in Edgar's TV interviews and claimed that a good mech pilot does not mean a good fighter...... What an arrogant young man. The sexy hostess laughed: "But obviously, he just has a big talk, and he has weak legs before he even plays." ”

There was a chorus of boos at the scene.

If boos could determine a person's future, Renault was doomed to be bleak.

It was the first time Renault had officially faced the public, but it was met with unprecedented fierce opposition, ridicule, and even abuse.

Standing there, feeling the malice of countless people, Renault trembled slightly.

This tremor was embodied on the mecha through neurons, and it fell in everyone's eyes, which became evidence of his fear.

People continue to curse wildly, and if it weren't for the ion isolation cover, countless garbage might have been thrown down a long time ago.

A good presenter is always good at mobilizing the emotions of others.

After feeling this public emotion, Lilith exclaimed, "There is no doubt that our Mr. Shadow has been scared out of his mind. I guess he's regretting coming here now, and I bet he won't even make it past the preliminary round. ”

"And what if you lose?" Countless spectators shouted.

Lilith spun around the field with a wink, then smiled and said, "Then I'll go and give him a beautiful night." ”

"Roar!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"This slut!" Sitting in the audience, Nora gritted her teeth and said, "If Renault dares to accept it, I will castrate him." ”

"Maybe he could consider transferring." Sfield replied in a serious way.

Anyway, because of this little episode, the audience instantly high/climaxed.

The host got what he wanted, as for winning or losing?

It doesn't matter.

"Then I'm going to announce the preliminary round." With the entry of the mechs, Lilith announced loudly: "In this preliminary round, we have arranged a unique welcome party for all the mechs, that is...... Expedition! ”

With this shout, the ion isolation cover above the square opened, and a huge starship fell from the sky.

Seeing the starship, all the spectators screamed loudly. The dense barrels on the hull of the ship are like the spikes of war beasts, and they are awe-inspiring to see.

At the same time, all the mech pilots heard an alert at the same time:

"The fire system is programmed to lock, and the mech cannot use any weapons at this time."

"Damn, how do you fight this?" Everyone scolded.

All mechs must be tested by the organizer before the competition, remove some weapons that exceed the power limit, and install a program control chip on them, so that the mechs can accept commands, and even forcibly control or take over if necessary.

What no one expected was that as soon as they came on the field, everyone's mecha was disarmed.

At the same time, the hostess's voice had once again sounded in the sky above: "The rules of the event, all mechs must start fleeing with the fire system locked. While on the run, the Expedition will be free to attack all mechs indiscriminately. Mech pilots must use their speed, reflexes, and evasive abilities to evade the Expedition, and those who are destroyed are considered out. Every time you hold out for a while, your mechs will be unlocked with a weapon. You can use this weapon to fight back against the Expedition's pursuit, and you can use it against other mechs. If you make sure you don't lose and destroy the other three mechs during your escape, you can get through the level directly! ”

"Now, the Storm League tryouts, begin!"
