Chapter 48: Mockery!

  At 9:00 am, the first match began, with Eagle Light Team competing against Kone Team. The match lasted for two hours. If after two hours both teams still had people on the field, then it would depend on which team had more "survivors".

  Just as a female voice was introducing the rules of the competition and the players on both sides, the huge steel arena in front of them suddenly began to turn over, revealing an artificial forest.

  In just a short span of ten or so minutes, an artificial forest slowly appeared before people's eyes, and the gigantic protective magic seals at its four corners also slowly activated.

  The armor-clad members of both teams also appeared in the corners, with Bai Jun, the captain of the Eagle Light Team, setting up tactics.

  And the armor they wear can withstand most of the damage and convert it into corresponding data. Once the damage received is determined to be fatal to the wearer, the armor will automatically lock down, declare defeat, and the protective runes in the four corners will also release a protective shield to protect the team member inside.

  Soon, as the game officially began, the Eagle Light Team members were like arrows flying off a bowstring, moving in an orderly and coordinated manner, dividing into three routes, attacking from three directions towards the opponent's position.

  On the other hand, the Ke Sound team, although seemingly well-organized in their actions, still has a noticeable gap compared to Eagle Light.

  A few minutes later, as both sides encountered each other, the intense confrontation also began. In an instant, standing on the viewing platform, all that could be seen was the flashing of magical auras everywhere.

  All that could be heard on the radio was: "Koan 1 has been shot down, Koan 5 has been shot down..."

  Just ten minutes later, almost before everyone could react to what was happening, the entire battle had ended. The Eagle Light Squadron emerged victorious without a single casualty.

  Those who saw this scene, such as Huang Mao, had expressions that were more or less shocked. Previously, when they fought against the Ke Yin team, they used all their strength and still suffered a crushing defeat. They just didn't expect that today, Ying Guang team would win so easily.

  In this way, the scene underwent a subtle change again, that is to say, as long as the team on the other side could win two more people, they could advance from the group.

  But this is easier said than done.

  However, although the battle just passed quickly, Xiao Hong still saw many things, how to strangle the opponent, how to kill the opponent's flagship character first, and how to use more to defeat less.

  In Xiao Hong's mind, he was also frantically thinking about how to win. Of course, if this idea were to be known by others, it would be absolutely unrealistic and even ridiculed as overestimating his abilities.

  Just about then, members of the Eagle Light Squadron emerged from within, removing their transparent protective helmets and walking over at a leisurely pace.

  Each one looks incredibly proud, already reaching the seventh level of White Army, with a hint of relaxation in their expressions, fully demonstrating absolute pride.

  "Congratulations, I didn't expect you to win so easily." As the Eagle Light Squadron approached, Chen Chi, the captain of the North Dragon Squadron, greeted them in a somewhat friendly manner, giving off an air of admiration for a fellow master.

  "It's just a trash team, I reckon next time you'll win even more easily than us." White Army responded, his gaze not even bothering to look at Xiao Honglin's temporarily led Shore War Team, which was also understandable. Even the trashy Ke Yin couldn't be beaten by them, in White Army's eyes, they weren't even as good as trash.

  "This is natural, I just didn't think that we would be robbed of the first place in the group. It seems that Mei Longyu's tactics are good after all." Chen Qi continued to laugh and say.

  "If you're interested, you can come. I'll introduce you." With that, Bai Jun slightly waved his hand at Chen Chi and said lightly, "I won't disturb you anymore, see you in the finals."

  "Alright, see you in the final match. We'll have another game if there's a chance." Chen Qi responded, thinking that making it to the final match was already a sure thing.

  "Remember, when we fight next time, don't show any mercy. Strive for a swift and complete victory, we can't lose face in front of the Eagle Light Squadron." Chen Chi said with a stern expression as he watched the White Army's figure slowly disappear into the passageway.

  The whole conversation process can be heard by the members of the opposing team, with a pale face, both ashamed and annoyed, this feeling of being treated as a "vegetable" is simply terrible.

  "The next match is North Dragon Team versus Shoreline Team, please have both teams prepare to enter the arena, the match will begin in fifteen minutes." The broadcast voice came again.

  As the voice rose, the members of the North Dragon War Team stood up one after another, their expressions relaxed and carefree. In their opinion, it was only natural that they would win against the opposing team that couldn't even beat Long Xiaoyu.

  Even if unexpected things happen, at most it will be an incomplete victory, and going out is a certainty.

  "Wait a minute, everyone come over." Seeing the members of the opposing team also following behind the North Dragon Team to board the inspection platform, Xiao Hong, who was sitting in his seat, suddenly spoke up with a serious expression.

  Although Xiao Hong didn't have much contact with strategic and tactical aspects, he still read a few books on strategic command during his leisure time. Even without in-depth research, Xiao Hong knew that this kind of competition had already started following the opponent's rhythm before it even began, which was absolutely not a good phenomenon.

  Everyone gathered around, Xiao Hong lowered his voice to the lowest and began to deploy tactics.

  "Understood?" Xiao Hong asked in a low voice after finishing the tactical deployment.

  "This... will work?" Huang Mao suddenly asked, his expression filled with a hint of surprise.

  "I don't know, but this is our only chance." Xiao Hong responded, then gestured to Li Le to put on an extra layer of defensive armor.

  On the inspection platform, members of the Northern Dragon team have successfully debugged their armor under the judges' scrutiny and confirmed that there are no problems.

  "Captain, what are they doing? Why haven't they shown up yet?" one of the team members asked Chen Bing.

  "Probably studying tactics." Chen Chi replied with a slightly disdainful expression.

  "Study tactics? What's the use of studying again? It's still not our dish. Wait to be abused, remember, this battle, don't show mercy, go all out, and wipe out the trash team on the other side, let the members of Eagle Light War Team see our strength." Jiang Sheng, with a big belly and a round waist, said disdainfully.

  Look again at the stage, a large number of spectators have already begun to leave one after another. Although the North Dragon War Team is very strong, they had also seen the playing style and record of the Other Shore War Team before, and it can almost be said that they are no longer weak, but rather trash.

  This kind of trash-talking and bullying match, they really can't be bothered to watch.

  Those who stay behind are mostly idle and bored, just killing time.

  "What's wrong with that team on the other side? Can't they just forfeit directly? Waiting to be abused, are you addicted?"

  "Ten gold coins for the whole game."

  "For ten gold coins, being trampled on and serving as a clown under the feet of a master, it's really pitiful."

  Such discussions among the audience have already begun to be heard without end.

  Similarly, Ren Xiang and Zhang Shan sitting in the stands could naturally hear the discussions of people around them. Ren Xiang's expression was unpleasant, while Zhang Shan simply covered his face with his hand, afraid of being recognized. Unexpectedly, after two battles, the reputation of the Pihuan War Team had become so notorious.

  Especially the Kao team that defeated them, was abused by Eagle Light and North Dragon, and even more so, the Bi'an team was recognized as a rookie team, a fill-in team, and a scam team.

  Even the referees and match supervisors seem a bit impatient at this point, because a game with no suspense is simply a waste of time.

  Soon, with Xiao Hong's tactical arrangement completed, the Riverside team boarded the inspection platform at Xiao Hong's behest, where the referee inspected their equipment to ensure everything was in order. Meanwhile, the broadcast began introducing each member of the Riverside team.

  The first was Li Le. When the second place was announced, the whole venue suddenly fell silent, followed by a deafening roar of laughter.

  A second-rate jockey, unable to control his horse in consecutive battles, still dares to participate in the competition. This can be said to be an unprecedented event. It's unbelievable that even a mere participant has been reduced to this level.

  Even the members of the Northern Dragon Team couldn't help but reveal a smile.

  "Unbelievable, I didn't think your team was so pathetic that you couldn't even gather three members of the lowest rank. What's going to happen now? For a moment, I don't even have the heart to make a move." A member of the North Dragon Team looked at the two people in front of him, his gaze constantly shifting between Xiao Hong and Li Lejian, only these two were new, so one of them must be Li Le.

  The next program is to shake hands with each other, showing politeness.

  However, just as others were shaking hands in a friendly manner, Li Le glanced at Jiang Sheng in front of him with a slightly disdainful expression, stretched out one big hand, and pretended to show a hint of concern. He then quickly and lightly touched the tip of Jiang Sheng's finger, looked at his own hand, and furrowed his brow.

  "Ptoo, disgusting to death." Li Le casually spat a mouthful of saliva on his fingertips, then quickly wiped it on his thigh and sniffed it again, making a vomiting gesture.

  Jiang Sheng, standing opposite him, saw Li Le's extremely rude and even insulting behavior, his originally smiling expression with a hint of disdain slightly darkened.

  "Hey kid, watch it! You looking for a fight?" A hot-tempered Jiang Sheng, who couldn't take this, glared and spoke up.

  "Wow, shut up, I didn't expect you to be so stinky, it's really disgusting. Your voice is also very unpleasant." Li Le said, and then made a vomiting gesture.

  Jiang Sheng's face didn't look good, and Li Le's sarcastic words had clearly hit his weak spot. For a moment, his face turned iron-green, especially with Li Le's infuriating expression, which made Jiang Sheng extremely angry.

  "You're looking for death!" As he spoke, Jiang Sheng took out a battle emblem from his magic bag.

  As a result, Chen Cheng stretched out his hand to stop him, indicating that Jiang Sheng should calm down and glanced slightly at the people opposite him. In his opinion, the other side was obviously trying to trick Jiang Sheng into committing a foul, and fighting outside the court would lead to disqualification from the competition.
