Soldier City

Soldier City’s name was just as it sounded. The city was to garrison many ace mecha clans defending the main capital. Although these clans did not appear in the eyes of the public and silently protecting high-ranking officers, there was no doubt the ace operators within these clans were considered one of the strongest groups. These clans were of similar levels to the special forces of all the divisions.

## Information

These clans defending the capital would have ace operators nicknamed ‘Guardians of South Sea’. After guarding the capital for five years, these operators would be able to leave the main capital and take up a position in one of the many divisions. At that time, these ace operators would become commodities for the divisions to fight for. Every time, these individuals would make divisions fight fiercely for them, causing dents in their relationships with each other.

Inside Soldier City, once any clan had any disputes or problems with another clan, they were not allowed to resolve it by fighting privately. If they wanted to resolve these disputes, they must fight in the arena. These people could choose to fight solo or in group in the arena. Once an individual or group demanded a battle in the arena, their opponents would not be able to refuse the challenge.

In order to make sure there wasn’t anyone with malicious intent, those who were challenged could invite comrades similar capabilities to their opponents to stand in for them or join the battle. Inside the arena, any injuries or deaths were considered legal and reasonable.

Almost every year, there would be soldiers who perish in the arena by mistake. Although every year there was such a gruesome scene, the battle arenas were legit and not frowned upon because it was the only place for soldiers to resolve personal vendettas. No one denied this fact.

Although the mission of protecting the capital seemed to be a waste of time and somewhat dangerous, it was still a highly-valued mission. Once these operators finish the three year guarding period, they would return to their divisions, receiving promotions and increasing the chance of becoming a high-ranking officer.

Many capable and ambitious mecha operators could not refuse such a good opportunity for a promotion. In other words, in order to advance to a higher rank, one needed to have the connections or be very capable while wasting three years of their life.

The division higher-ups must also think carefully on who to select to provide the connections for. If a dispute was to happen and a battle in the arena was set up, but those who participated were only second-rate individuals who got in through connections, wouldn’t they be brutally beaten up? It would humiliate the entire division. No high-ranking officer dared to spread their connections too freely, but every three years they would put in a few people by going through connections in Soldier City.

## History

the Soldier City also had clans from all 23 divisions. They would also protect the division representative from their own division. However, the capabilities of these clans were incomparable to the ‘Guardians of the South Sea’. The clans guarding their division’s representative would change every three years. Currently, it was right at the end of a three year period. The entire Soldier City had mecha operators coming in and out, and was very busy. The chaotic scene increased the number of disputes in the Soldier City. The battle arenas in Soldier City hadn’t closed since then.

## Extra Information

The Statue of Heroes was located at the Planet General Plaza. There were many military museums built there too. One trip to the plaza and one would know all the disclosed history of the military of the Huaxia Federation. The glory gained by the military, the humiliations that were avenged, the legendary battle teams of the past, all of these were recorded to remind the citizens of how Huaxia Federation rose to its current position.
