As the cheering came to an end kirean turned his gaze to the fleets under the play form right now the fleets were all stationed in the void with the soldiers and crew neatly standing in the void with their respective captains at the front kirean looked at Adam who knew what to do stood up and faced the fleets and said "this is your opportunity to show off your hard work so don't waste it" short and sharp words but these words made the soldiers and captains resolute as they wanted to show their all in battle "yes admiral" said all the soldiers and crew neatly Adam nodded his head as he sat back down kirean nodded looking at this as it was his turn to motivate his people and show his support he got up and looked at the fleets and said "some of you have worked hard for hundreds of years others for thousands now it's time to show your determination as Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts" as kirean said this he released a little bit of his bloodline to put weight on his words and it went into effect instantly the soldiers and crew aswell as the three captains were extremely excited as the words of forefather reassured them that even if they fail he will never look lesser of them as long as they get back up the civilians were also excited as they began to shout their favorite fleet boasting moral as they knew they weren't fighting alone kirean looking at these events was happy as the soldiers will go in with determination and will to fight he knew some soldiers were afraid of failure and how it will impact the view of their forefather towards them now that he has reassured them they can fight without worries
As kirean sat down on his throne Gaia sat up as it's time for her to explain the rules and start the tournament as Gaia waved her hand the cheering instantly stopped as all Ultimas respected Gaia as to them she is just a Ultima highly favored by forefather they don't even acknowledge her being a machine Gaia smiled as she said "Hello everyone welcome to the boundless void, a virtual world created by me to hold the fleet tournament, now I will talk about the format of the tournament" pauses Gaia as everyone becomes focused "the first round will have unlimited amount of pirate fleets of the same size the goal is to destroy as many fleets as possible every fleet is a single point this round will test the strategy of each fleets" as everyone was taking in the first round Gaia said "the second and last round will be your three fleets against the dreadnought ofcourse it will not be as powerful as the trailer this will test unity and cohesion of the united fleets" as Gaia ended explaining everyone was shocked at how short the tournament and even more shocked by the dreadnought everyone knows the story of the dreadnought even the avars a ship so powerful it could blast a system apart easily but then hearing that it was heavily nerfed made them breath a sigh of relief but deep down they swore to take down the full powered dreadnought "good I like your determination now get ready for the tournament it will start in 10 seconds" as Gaia said this the soldiers calmed down and got ready soon 10 seconds passed as white light flashed on all participants and the ships as they disappeared
Screens instantly appeared around the sitting area of the people and kirean showing the three fleets fully crewed in space with a score under all of them that was currently at zero seeing this the spectators began to cheer wildly as the tournament began, Alex at this moment was on his super carrier giving orders "prepare for combat and have the soldiers ready at any time check the ammunition" as Alex was giving order constant pings were going off in the command center "captain we detect an uncountable number of fleets all the same size as us some are closer together and others are spread apart" said a crew infront of a screen that constantly ping red dots as Alex gave orders "get in formation and go to the closest fleet with one or more other fleets in reinforcement distance" said Alex as he and his fleet was all about offense he was confident in his fleet taking on 3 similar size of fleets by themselves as the crew starting spreading Alex's orders the fleet of 33 ships started to get into formation as the three fleets got into formation and finished checking their ammunition's and combat readiness kirean was on the plat form looking through the screen as he asks "who do you think will take away this round?" Asked kirean the question directed at the 6 Adam was the first to answer as he said "I think Jared is going to win he is calm and collected and very adaptable in combat alex on the other hand is a pure offensive captain he may have the advantage early on but that will tire them out quicker and deplete their ammunition faster as for Sophia I think her still is too slow for this round unless she forsakes her defensive style which is almost impossible as this is aimed at showing strategy or if she shows of a new defense that can compete with the 2" said Adam extremely sure about his answer as Gaia added "although Alex's fleet is very powerful it is not suitable for this round as his only option is to push and the more he pushes the more enemy reinforcements will arrive overwhelming him eventually but in the second round is where his fleet will really shine as the self proclaimed front liners their offense is undoubtedly the best and in the 2nd round they don't have to worry about defense as Sophia can make up for their defects allowing alex to run rampant"
