Half a month later, the day of the Epoch Day celebration.

The media in the entire Star Region seems to have collectively strung together words. When reporting on Fort Gloria, they all used one description.

"Today's Fort Glory is like a luminous flower blooming in space."

As night fell, the celebration had been going on for a whole day before officially entering the main event.Located in the north of the White Tower, the Imperial Capital Gymnasium, which can accommodate 300 million spectators at the same time, is full of seats tonight!

Even though Ian had made mental preparations, when he passed through the complicated security check and walked out of the VIP passage, he was still speechless for a long time in shock at the magnificent scene before him.

The entire gymnasium is like a giant flower with its petals stretched out layer by layer, and each petal is a grandstand.They are spaced just the right distance to allow everyone to have a clear view of the center stage.The light dots on the petals flicker, as if inlaid with rhinestones, which come from the fluorescent boards in the hands of each audience.

The petals where the VIP seats are located are in an excellent position, neither high nor low, facing the center of the venue.Under the action of the air isolation cover, although the stands are open to the air, they are as warm as spring inside.

"Father Ian!" Sang Xia was wearing the team uniform of the Byron team, with a gaudy paint on the team flag, and a lion head-shaped explosive wig, bouncing around like a witch in a primitive tribe. Pounced on Ian.

Behind her, there was a large group of familiar young people, all wearing the uniform of the Royals and not out of shape, greeting Ian happily.They are all members of the "Lionheart" tour team.

The little media prince who had talked to Ian was the most enthusiastic, and he was holding a luminous board with Leon's head printed on it in his hand.

"Father, look at the support card I made for the boss, is it handsome?"

He demonstrated it to Ian.As soon as the switch was pressed, Leon's eyes shone brightly.And it has its own sound effects, and it sends out an earth-shattering lion's roar, which alarms the neighbors and almost invites the security guards.

Ian: "..."

Sangxia pulled Ian and said, "Leon asked me to come to you. He is already in the preparation room and cannot come out. But I hope you can go over and meet him."

"What happened to him?" Ian immediately asked nervously.

"What else can I do?" Sang Xia laughed, "That kid is going to play, he's so nervous that he's going to pee his pants, I want you to go and coax him, so that he can act like a baby to you, what the heck."

"Touch... what?" The priest, who was very young but basically isolated from the internet, was at a loss.

"That's it..." Sang Xia rolled her eyes and said, "It's a tradition of their team. Before going to the battle, let relatives and friends touch... wherever you like, and then say a word of blessing."

Ian: "That's weird..."

The group of children behind winked and winked, all laughing to and fro.

At this time, there are still 10 minutes before the game, and the cheerleading team is performing on the field.In the preparation room of the team, most of the team members have already put on their combat uniforms and are saying goodbye to relatives and friends who came to visit.

Ian stepped into the room, looked over the figures, and immediately found Leon.

The blond young man was standing by the locker. He was only half wearing his one-piece combat uniform, and was putting a black vest on his body.

Because of Leon's closed-door training, the two of them haven't seen each other for more than half a month.The change in this young man surprised Ian slightly.

The blond hair was trimmed extremely short, almost sticking to the scalp, which made the shape of the head more full, and the facial features were three-dimensional.With a high nose and thin lips, sword eyebrows and star eyes, the profile is handsome and sharp, with a kind of indifference and calmness of cold iron and blood.

I don't know if it's because of the tight vest, but Leon's body is getting stronger and stronger, his chest and shoulders are thick, the muscles of his arms are bulging, and his strength bursts out from under his smooth skin.The line of the back was drawn smoothly, and it was tucked into the tight waist, and then it was covered by the battle uniform.

Something made a small noise in the air.Leon stopped his movements, turned around, and met Ian's gaze.

The young priest was wearing a camel straight woolen coat with a plaid scarf around his neck.His whole body exudes light, handsome and elegant, just like a young scholar.

"Hi!" Ian smiled broadly into those icy blue eyes, "Long time no see."

Leon rubbed the towel in his hand, leaned against the locker, and smiled softly at Ian.

"Which team did you buy to win, Father?"

"The clergy are not allowed to participate in gambling." Ian said, "But Sangxia said that she bought all the pocket money for the Byron team, and if she won, she would treat me to pandan fruit ice cream."

"I heard that because of my joining, the odds of the Byron team have dropped to almost 500."

Yi'an raised his eyebrows lightly: "Then are you going to make those people lose so much that they can't even wear their pants?"

Leon raised his head and laughed loudly, his thick and clear laughter attracted the attention of others in the room.

"It's time." The coach clapped his hands. "Family and friends, please leave. Team members are ready to board the plane!"

Leon put on his battle uniform and said to Ian, "Don't worry, Ian. For those two wishes, I will win no matter what. Look—"

He took out a chain from the collar of his vest, on which hung a golden holy light amulet.

"This is what I gave you..."

"It was the amulet you gave me when I left Fryer that year. I have been wearing it next to my body, and I have never taken it off." Leon said, turning the Holy Light over again, "Whenever I encounter difficulties and setbacks I will read the above words every time, to encourage myself."

"The suffering we endure today will become our laurels in the future." The low words of the two merged into one.

Leon put the Holy Light Talisman into his vest, pressed it against his chest, pressed his hands on it, and said cautiously: "Every day!"

Ian took a deep breath, suddenly raised his hand, and placed it on Leon's heart.

Leon was shaken all over and remained motionless.

"My God," the priest bowed his head, his long eyelashes trembling, and began to pray, "please bless this young warrior for me. May he be strong, brave, and pursue his dream smoothly. Regardless of victory or defeat, May he be safe and come back to me."

Leon only felt that where Ian touched his chest, a scorching heat penetrated the skin, burned to the bone, and rushed to the whole body along the blood vessels.Just one touch of these fair and slender hands is going to blow him up!

Ian looked up.

At this moment, Leon caught Ian's Adam's apple slipping, and quickly slipped under the white and delicate skin.

The faintly lingering grassy fragrance at the nose suddenly becomes stronger, with a provocative sweetness.

Leon opened his mouth, his throat was hot, he stared straight at the face that was close at hand, locked on the warm and light-colored lips.

"Father?" the coach urged politely. "It's time for the kids to get ready. It's time to play."

Yi'an hurriedly bowed his body to apologize, his cheeks were flushed, and he left.

"Ian," Leon called Ian before leaving the door, and smiled brightly, filling the whole room with light.

"That crown is yours!"

In the constellation of Cetus, there are 89 countries in the entire star field, with a population of hundreds of billions, and outstanding talents are like stardust, which is hard to count.

And the chief team of each country is composed of fighters carefully selected from the best professional teams in the country, a well-deserved all-star lineup.

All of them are the youngest and most experienced professional athletes in Alpha, and they are also elites and superstars in this industry. For an all-star team match like "Epoch Day", the excitement of the battles is enough to be recorded in the annals of history.

Today's Mecha Tournament is the first game Ian has ever seen in his life, and it is also the most unforgettable game in his life.

Until many years later, Leon used both hard and soft methods to drive him into a state of confusion and obsession, insisting on telling him when he was moved.Ian bites his mouth like a clam, but he will always recall this arena unconsciously.

The blue sky above the head was as blue as a bucket of paint, the audience was full of deafening cheers, and the stands surrounded by layers of crushed diamond petals...

Somewhat different from Ian's original expectations, he never expected that this game, he did not sit in the stands, but watched it on the battlefield in the space field.

In fact, from saying goodbye to Leon to before the start of the game, everything was normal——

Today, according to the results of the lottery, Byron's opponent is the Turusman national team.

"Team Tu is a strong team." Sangxia explained to Ian very caringly, "They have won three consecutive championships in the Tournament World Cup. This year their team has undergone a major change, and several newcomers are from top clubs. Famous generals and golden boys who are worth tens of millions."

She threw out a floating telescope and pointed to the person on the screen to show Ian.

"Their captain, here, is this old A with dyed blue-gray hair, nicknamed 'Mad Shark'. He plays very violently, and his strikes don't matter. Every time he beats the opponent's mechs to pieces, the soldiers are also seriously injured. Just let it go. And he is a super straight male cancer chauvin pig, who talks about Omega all day, so he should go home to nurse the child to cook, and let the workplace out..."

Ian was listening with great interest.A palace attendant came over from the chief in front and said politely to him: "Father Mitchell, His Majesty the Emperor invites you to come over. Is it convenient for you?"

How dare Ian say that he is inconvenient?

So Ian came to Felix IV under the bewildered gaze of the "Lionheart" team members.

"Is this the young man, Anthony?" The emperor's voice was indescribably sluggish, "The priest who summoned the holy light to save Leon was also the priest who made him suddenly reform himself recently?"

"Yes, uncle." The Duke of Oran sat in the emperor's back row and leaned forward to answer, "Thanks to Father Mitchell, Leon was able to embarrass our country on the court today."

Everyone around laughed.Ian bowed his head and never looked at the emperor.

"To be able to summon the Holy Light, the priest must be considered extremely pious and well versed in the scriptures. It's really rare to be so young." The emperor sighed, "It's also a coincidence that Archbishop Rohan was supposed to preside over our team's pre-match prayers today." Ceremony. But the archbishop is old and accidentally sprained his foot just now. Why don’t you replace the archbishop and pray to the Holy Lord for our soldiers.”

Ian raised his head slightly, and met the eagle-like eyes of the Duke of Oran.

The Duke nodded to him.

"Follow the will, Your Majesty." Ian bent his knees and kissed the ring on the emperor's hand again.

When Ian walked towards the field, players from both sides were entering the field.Along with the host's introduction, bursts of frenzied shouts sounded outside the venue.

But when Leon was introduced, there were boos full of malice and resistance.

Ian's footsteps sank, and he took a deep breath to suppress the uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

Leon has been scolded to pieces by netizens in the past month, and has been abused by his teammates and coaches in the team. The reaction of the audience outside the court is like a fart that only rings but not stinks. When not present.

But no matter how calm he was, when Leon saw Ian being brought into the arena by the staff, he still raised a pair of airplane ears.

Ian gave him a wry smile, picked up the magic weapon that was prepared at the side, and began to pray to the team members.

He blessed them one by one, and when it was Leon's turn to stand at the end of the line, the two stared at each other with an ellipsis floating on their heads.

Leon laughed again, and tapped his fingers on his chest.Ian understood, and his long eyelashes drooped down like a small fan. After finishing the last part of the ceremony, he stood aside.

At this moment, there was a small commotion outside the arena.

"The captain of the Turusman team has requested to speak." The host said in surprise.

"What is this old fish doing?" Lionheart's teammates looked at each other.

The microphone ball floated in front of the blue-haired player codenamed "Mad Shark".

This Alpha has the word "rough guy" written all over him from head to toe, but when he speaks, he is very elegant and moderate, and he should come from a good background.

"My respected Majesty the Emperor, the great host country, and the master of Byron, on behalf of all the team members, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you for your warm hospitality. Before the game starts, we have a small game that does not violate the rules of the game. I hope to get your permission."

The corner of the mad shark's eye swept towards Byron's team and passed Ian's body.

"Since this game is a 'competition' system, I would like to slightly adjust the 'goals' of the two teams to make our game more interesting and realistic."

"He likes fun and practical significance so much, why doesn't he participate in a reality show?" Sang Xia complained.

Mad Shark said: "I hope to replace the original 'target' with these two priests from our side and the opponent's."

The author has something to say: "Competition" is two teams competing for one thing/person of the other.Whoever grabs it first and successfully escorts it back to the base camp within the specified time will win.

Specifically, it will be explained in detail.

After laying the groundwork for so long, the fight is finally about to start!
