"… Team A has won three matches in a row and has advanced to the knockout round. Team B has been eliminated!"
As Min Jian of Second Battalion had no choice but to admit defeat, Second Battalion Second Battalion lost completely and was directly eliminated, bidding farewell to the fighting competition. Qiu Xinggong clenched his fists tightly and stared at Deng Kang who was loudly announcing the results at the side of the arena. His gaze was cold and his face was ashen.
Actually, Qiu Xinggong had already expected that Second Battalion's Second Team would lose this round. However, he didn't expect Second Battalion's Second Team to be defeated so thoroughly. Being defeated by A Battalion's Third Team with a score of 3-0, where would he put his face? Secondly, not only did Team 2 of the Second Battalion lose the competition, there were also three members who were beaten black and blue by Team 3 of the First Battalion. They would need at least three to five days to recover from their injuries. This would directly affect the battle between the Second Battalion and the Fifth Battalion in two days!
Therefore, Qiu Xinggong felt like he had gone for wool and come home shorn!
"… How's Team 4?"
Forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, Qiu Xinggong asked in a deep voice.
Naturally, he was asking Sun Tao who was standing beside him.
Hearing this, Sun Tao's expression changed. After hesitating for a moment, he still cupped his fists and replied, "Reporting to General, Team 4 has won two matches, and Team 2 of Ding Battalion has also won two matches. They should be fighting the last match now, and the results will be out soon …"
"What? They are actually fighting in such a stalemate? "
Qiu Xinggong's hair stood up in anger. He said with a displeased expression, "According to what you said, we might still lose the match against Team D, hmph! What trash! Look at the soldiers you trained! What did you tell me before the match? Weren't you very confident? Where did your confidence go? "
Qiu Xinggong's current mentality had undergone a subtle change. Before today, the old man's greatest hope for today's combat tournament was to let the B Battalion take advantage of the tournament to injure as many experts as possible. However, things didn't go as he wished. They only drew one team from the E Battalion, and that was the E Battalion Fourth Team. Furthermore, during the battle with the E Battalion Fourth Team, the B Battalion only managed to injure one member of the E Battalion Fourth Team — Lu Ming. The rest of the members of the E Battalion almost all escaped unscathed!
Now that the preliminary round was nearing its end, Qiu Xinggong knew that his initial wish could no longer be realized. Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing, which was to hope that as many teams as possible from the B Battalion could advance into the knockout round. On one hand, it would boost the morale of the B Battalion, and on the other hand, the more teams from the B Battalion could advance into the knockout round, the higher the possibility of encountering the E Battalion in the later rounds. At that time, he would have the opportunity to settle all his grudges at once!
However, it seemed that everything was predestined. The heavens had played a huge joke on him. Not only did his first wish not come true, even his second wish was about to be "ruined"!
The B Battalion Fourth Team actually fought the D Battalion Second Team with a score of 2: 2?
If the B Battalion Fourth Team lost in the last round, then they would be directly disqualified, and there would only be one team from the B Battalion advancing into the knockout round!
Actually, such a result might seem inconceivable, but there was a certain degree of inevitability. Although in terms of overall strength, the B Battalion was obviously stronger than the D Battalion due to having more "veterans", but the recruits of the D Battalion were all elites from the various battalions in the capital. Perhaps they might be lacking in the ability to coordinate in battle formations, but in terms of individual combat ability, they were not much weaker than those "veterans" in the B Battalion!
On top of that, the second team of the D battalion was the second strongest team of the four teams of the D battalion, while the fourth team of the B battalion was only the fourth strongest team of the B battalion. Thus, if the two teams were to fight, the chances of victory and defeat would be about 50%. In fact, the second team of the D battalion was slightly stronger than the fourth team of the B battalion!
If the B Battalion Fourth Team lost to the D Battalion Second Team in the end, it would not be an injustice at all!
