Recently, Earth's CT level had steadily risen to the top in the Solar System. After all, CT was not a real battle. As long as one was willing to put in the effort, there would definitely be improvement. With Prince as the leader, a group of professional players indeed brought out a certain aura.
Before the match, Old Deer and Yao Ailun, as well as Bei Er, could not help but banter. For example, Bei Er's career had shrunk today. Ever since Skeleton's retirement, Old Deer had not opened a milk carton for a long time. Without an opponent, he felt a little lonely.
It had to be said that Manalasuo's standard was indeed astonishing. Prince and the rest had already made ample preparations when they received the challenge, and had seriously studied their opponent's tactics. But in the first three duels, the Royal Team had been completely defeated. The only exciting match was Prince against Eagle's captain APP. Prince's Wind God had some of Wang Zheng's essence, and it could be seen that he had put in a lot of effort in training. But his control of the magnetic source's temporary energy shield was still lacking, and he could not master it. When he was fit, he could use it, but when he was not, or when the opponent was pressuring him too much, he could not use it well. The difference was huge.
Eagle's captain APP had also used Wind God. More accurately, every country was using and studying Wind God, from the military to CT. When Prince's mech had exploded at the last moment, more than five million viewers in the broadcast room had sighed to the heavens.
Actually, it was just a little bit more. The two of them were evenly matched. Of course, the Wind God might not be the mech that the app was best at, but a competition was a competition. Prince was so close to winning, but in the end, he was still lacking in terms of technique.
Prince's proficiency level was higher than APP's, but APP had won faster than Prince's.
The APP had won, but it was clear that Manalasuo's number one player in the CT world was still dissatisfied. He had not come here to win, but to lose. He had not expected his opponent to lose even to his Wind God.
Next up was the team battle, and the intermission.
"Old Deer, Eagle is indeed Manalasuo's number one team. Big Bro and the rest have done their best. We have seen a high level of competition," Bei Er said.
Old Deer nodded. "Now we can only pin our hopes on the next team battle. Prince's leadership in team battles is currently the strongest in the Solar System. Hopefully, he can take the most important victory in the most important team battle."
"Let's interview the captain of the Eagle team, APP." Belle smiled, and the camera cut to APP.
"Captain APP, the three matches are over. The Eagle team is leading 3-0. What do you think of your opponents?" Belle asked.
APP was young, but his eyes were sharp, and it was obvious that he was a very serious person. "This season will be my last with Eagle. I'll be entering military school in a month's time. The reason why I'm making my last stop before retiring is because I heard that this is a land of miracles. I believe that the birthplace of humanity will bring me a different experience."
APP did not continue. The result was that he was disappointed. The person he worshipped the most was Vincent, but the Manalasuo team had failed miserably in IG.
They came to Earth because they were unconvinced.
Bei Er didn't know how to respond to APP's words. She had come to be abused, but she had been abused. No one knew what to say.
But as a professional commentator, Belle quickly adjusted. "Keke, Earth is indeed a wondrous place. If you have the chance, come more often. There are always miracles."
At this moment, Yao Ailun jumped out from the live broadcast. "Wang Zheng, show us what you've got. These guys are here to be abused, and we can't even satisfy such a small request. That's not how we treat our guests!"
Yao Ailun had thrown himself wholeheartedly into this part-time job, and had a deep friendship with Prince and the rest. He knew that Prince and the rest had tried their best, but their ability was limited, and they could not satisfy the audience's demands. But Prince and the rest had persevered, and their determination was admirable. In truth, they could earn more after retiring, and it would be easier. They could abuse the noobs, and casually make money. Besides, with Prince's popularity, but Prince was still holding his ground.
"Captain Prince, Captain APP doesn't seem very satisfied. Will there be any targeted tactics in the upcoming team battles? The audience is looking forward to a victory. Recently, some in the audience have said that they want you to retire."
On the other side, a reporter had used the intermission to interview Prince. This was quite a blow. Because they had been unable to break through the Solar System, many felt that they should change to a more energetic and driven leader.
Prince only smiled faintly, and did not answer the question.
But this smile touched Wang Zheng. It contained too much … reluctance. It was not unwillingness. This was a feeling that only a truly determined person would have. Wang Zheng could be sure that if a new leader emerged, the Prince would definitely let go of the burden easily. But Wang Zheng had also seen the two matches just now. It was obvious that he was a level lower than the Prince's view of the big picture.
"Is it convenient to arrange it now?" Wang Zheng suddenly asked.
Yao Ailun started, then revealed a look of ecstasy. "Leave it to me!"
Prince finished the interview, and quietly closed his eyes to rest. His mind was filled with the opponent's lineup. It was too difficult, and Manalasuo's lineup was still too strong. Sometimes, being famous was not a good thing. Challenges like these were common. High standards could be honed, but their spirits were constantly being ravaged. It had been fine when Skeleton was around, as he could not raise morale. But in this year, the pressure had been immense.
"Captain, how do we fight?"
Many of the members were not confident either. The Imperial battle team was one veteran leading four rookies. The lack of skill among the new members was secondary. What they were most afraid of was a mental breakdown. How could the weak defeat the strong? They had not experienced the era of Skeleton, and had not witnessed the taste of miracles. Hence, they lacked that unyielding spirit.
Prince pulled himself together. Just as he was about to speak, his Skylink rang. Seeing the message, Prince's face changed.
The members beside him felt strange as well. Prince was a veteran, and was known to be as unmovable as a mountain. What was going on?
Yao Ailun had already communicated with Old Deer. Bei Er was speechless. What were these two big men so excited about in the corner?
After a while, the two finished communicating. Bei Er was too embarrassed to ask, and Old Deer had already entered the broadcast room.
"Old Deer, our side's morale is a little low. Why don't you put in a little more effort?" Yao Ailun blinked, his gold-rimmed glasses full of provocation.
Old Deer's eyebrow twitched. "Little Wheel, you're very cocky. Come on."
"Old Deer, I hear that the older you get, the more timid you become. You're not as brave as you were in the past!" Yao Ailun said, shaking his head.
"Little Wheel, if you have something to say, just spit it out!"
"Keke, don't get worked up. What I mean is, although we're commentators, we have to encourage our own people, don't we? In the past, you were always very decisive in opening a milk carton bet. It seems like we haven't appeared in a long time since we became partners. Are you afraid?" Yao Ailun teased.
