Ping ping ping …
Light, rhythmic knocks. The door opened, and a tall, cool female Aslan officer walked in.
"Your Highness."
"Lacus, arrange for the best treatment. And I'm going to see the injured," Aina said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Lacus said respectfully. "The qualifier results are out. Saruman Snake is in first place."
Aina nodded. "I know. Go arrange it."
This result might surprise her aunt, but given her understanding of her aunt, she would not let it go so easily. The most important thing now was to buy time, to give Wang Zheng enough time to recover. They could not let the battle be brought forward. The only way was to strike first, a classic example. After all, Wang Zheng was not the only one injured.
This round's victory had given Aina the prerequisites for a counterattack. Most importantly, she wanted to see Wang Zheng.
Prime Minister's residence.
Seeing the battle report, Kashawen started. "You mean Saruman Snake is in first place?"
"Yes, Your Highness. I've already checked. There's no problem. Wang Zheng's performance has caused some controversy among the generals. Lya Sphinx's Qiqin Nacchai is dead. This is a huge blow to Lya Sphinx."
Kashawen's brows furrowed. "That Qiqin Nacchai you told me to watch out for?"
"Yes. Qiqin Nacchai is a battle power that Lya Sphinx has focused on grooming. Who would have thought that he would die before even entering the main competition. Lya Sphinx is making a big fuss. They think it's our Aslan's doing."
Kashawen smiled slightly. "Ignore the cries of the weak. What I want to know is, is Wang Zheng too strong, or is Qiqin Nacchai not living up to his name?"
The secretary paused. "Your Highness, I'm not an expert in military matters. Combining the opinions of the generals from various countries, Wang Zheng's potential is immeasurable. Manalasuo's General Bolet has high hopes for him."
Kashawen glanced at Mitchell indifferently. "Since when did you lose your own judgment and start relying on other people's opinions?"
Mitchell looked at Kashawen. "This person … is very scary. If possible, either rope him in, or deal with him early!"
Kashawen nodded. "Since the qualifiers have ended early, then let the main competition be brought forward as well."
"Sir, Her Royal Highness has already sent a press spokesperson to personally confer with the injured warriors of the various countries. This is to show our Aslan's care and humanity." Mitchell was huge.
Kashawen was silent for a while. She smiled and did not say anything else. She waved her hand, and Mitchell bowed and left.
This girl had matured. She actually knew how to retaliate. That was good. Let's see how far she could go. Wang Zheng's incident could be used as an opportunity to sharpen Aina, allowing her to grow faster and understand this world faster.
At the end of the qualifiers, sixty-four teams were ranked according to their results. The top ten teams in the qualifiers were:
1. Saruman Snake (Elite Academy X)
Soulless battle team. (Arbiter Republic)
3. Asura battle team (Elite Academy X)
4. Radiant Battle Squad (Versailles Empire)
5. Dynasty battle team (Elite Academy X)
6. Sword Shield Rose Knight battle team (Aslan Empire)
Dark Knight Battle Team (Darkness Empire)
8. Sea Queen (Maya Empire)
9. Golden Wheel battle team (Manalasuo)
10. Zero Degrees battle team (Hail Cloud Alliance)
Other traditionally strong teams like Astina and Gemini also entered the main competition without any suspense. Of course, the qualifiers did not mean anything. Some teams had maintained their strength and stamina. It was just that no one had expected the results to be out so quickly. Actually, the most unpopular team was the Lya Sphinx battle team. They were ambitious, and indeed had the strength. But their leader had been eliminated directly, causing the team members' efforts to go to waste.
And the team that eliminated Lya Sphinx was the strongest team, the Saruman Snake battle team.
The various doubts before the battle, as well as the team leader Wang Zheng's hatred before the battle, did not seem to stop the progress of Saruman Snake.
The main competition was considered a small scale. Besides Aslan, only the relevant military departments would pay attention to it. The media organizations of various countries would also control their reports appropriately. This was the rule. For overly cruel battles and training, most of the time, just giving the people a result was enough.
But in Aslan, this result still caused a huge stir. Almost everyone who knew the inside story thought that Saruman Snake would definitely be eliminated. But not only had Saruman Snake not been eliminated, they had actually taken first place in the qualifiers. This was simply unimaginable.
If Wang Zheng, this mysterious Earthling, had heaven-defying abilities, then what about the team members?
The standards of the Saruman Snake team members could only be considered average in the SIG!
Achilles, Lie Xin, and the rest were also dumbfounded. Although Mu Zhen had many injuries, he had actually obtained eight tags. The Tita people had demonstrated their tyrannical ability to fight in the jungle. His skill and speed in making traps were as fast as a human eating. This was something every Tita person had to learn from a young age. It could be called instinct.
Mu Zhen could be forgiven. It could only be said that he had encountered a suitable environment. But Zhang Shan?
This guy had no Ability X, and had actually obtained nine tags that defied the natural order. This was like seeing a ghost. Under the gaze of the crowd, even the thick-skinned Zhang Shan could not hold it in.
"Picked it up???" Lie Xin shouted. "You don't have a fever, do you?"
Zhang Shan smiled bitterly. "I really picked it up. I just ate and slept, and then picked it up when I woke up. I thought it was an airdrop, but in the end, I still picked up nine tags. If not for the fact that my mind was still clear, I would have thought that I had a new ability."
"What ability?" Ao Ziwei asked curiously.
"Wishes come true."
The crowd looked at each other, and then laughed.
"Looks like someone is helping us behind the scenes. That means that we still have friends," Vincent said.
Achilles shook his head slightly. "Can't think of who did it. One must have absolute ability and confidence. Does anyone know such a person?" The crowd was stunned.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Everyone had been eliminated. One could only imagine how intense the competition had been. This person had killed many. Just for Zhang Shan alone, he had killed nine. What about himself?
This ability was definitely at the captain level. But the only captain-level character on island B was Olivios. But Olivios could not possibly have helped them. Most importantly, this was definitely not something Olivios would do.
At the same time, this person had completely evaded Zhang Shan's perception. This ability …
The crowd had an inexplicable feeling. Could it be that there was such a hidden master beside them?
"Don't be so serious. It's a good thing after all. We've entered the main competition, and can go see Wang Zheng tomorrow. I heard that guy went on a killing spree, beating a bunch of people on island A silly."
"Haha, it's already spread outside."
"I'm hungry. Let's go to the canteen to eat!" Zhang Shan said.
"I'm hungry too." Mu Zhen said, rubbing his belly. Mu Zhen had killed more than just those few. But even if he had killed them, he might not have gotten the tag.
Although Takumi and Oli had been eliminated, but overall, the Saruman Snake battle team's battle power was still intact. Mu Zhen and the rest were only lightly injured. Only Wang Zheng was seriously injured. But looking at the time, he should be able to recover.
The canteen was bustling as well. Representatives from various countries were all present. Having just experienced such a cruel qualifier, they definitely had a lot to say. Those who remained were full of anticipation for the battles ahead.
Zhang Shan and the rest were also chatting and laughing as they entered the canteen. But the moment they entered, the entire hall fell silent.
Everyone was looking at them. The Greatest King from Elite Academy X, the first in the qualifiers. And they had a legendary captain, one who had dared to challenge the world alone. He had consecutively defeated Mars, González, Qiankun Zadeh, and Qiqin Nacchai. He was practically a legend.
If the Greatest King was distant, then this time it was happening right before their eyes!
