However, this was the first time someone had reported that they had 'lost contact'.
There were only two possibilities. The badge had been destroyed, or the badge had been snatched away by someone else and the badge's signal had been turned off. Regardless of which scenario it was, it meant that there were definitely other squadrons involved, as mutated beasts would not destroy their badges.
Wang Zhong and Grai exchanged glances.
"There's finally people taking action. I had thought that this day would come even earlier."
"During the first half of the journey, everyone's distribution was rather spread out. I believe that this path is the choice of the majority. Regardless of how many forks there are, they will eventually converge together."
"A portion of it is due to them feeling that they are unable to complete this competition. There might be more C and D ranked squadrons participating in this competition. The truly powerful squadrons should have complete confidence in passing this test by themselves."
"That's not necessarily the case." Wang Zhong shook his head. "This is only the first elimination round. There are only a few squadrons that can enter the finals. Other than the two ace squadrons from the Heaven's Fate Academy and Torres Academy, the other A ranked squadrons might be trying their best to reduce the number of competitors. If there's a chance, I'm afraid that it'll be very hard for them to resist the temptation."
Frankly speaking, the stronger one was, the greater their ambitions would be.
"In the end, it's just that they don't have confidence in themselves." said Grai with a smile. "Such a squadron isn't worthy of being assessed as an A rank."
"Ha ha, it can only be used as a reference. There will be many inaccurate factors." Said Wang Zhong with a smile as he handed a piece of roasted meat over to Grai. "Have a taste. My culinary skills are definitely the kind that everyone underestimates!"
"Oh?" Grai took a bite in anticipation, before a slightly strange expression appeared on his face. "Senior Wang Zhong."
"How's the taste?"
"The fishy smell is too strong. It's not cooked thoroughly." Grai did not give any face to Wang Zhong. Cooking with various seasonings at home was completely different from roasting meat in the wilderness without any salt. Senior Wang Zhong wasn't omnipotent.
Casually taking the roasting fork from the slightly embarrassed Wang Zhong, he said with a smile, "Senior, let me handle such a small matter!"
… …
Divine Wood Academy, forfeited, eliminated!
Belondo Academy, lost contact, eliminated!
Kamar Academy, lost contact, eliminated!
… …
A large number of teams were gathering and clashing. The real battle had finally begun.
On the icy plains, over forty people were currently ganging up on a ten-man squadron. From the looks of it, the combat strength of each and every one of the ten-man squadron wasn't out of the ordinary. Soldiers from the northern regions had considerably valiant combat prowess in the icy plains. This was especially true for Lei Bing, who was a freshman this year. Although he had lost to All-Mouthy King in the OP, he had improved at a godly pace. This time, the Extreme Light Academy had been evaluated as a B +.
Lei Bing condensed an ice shield that flickered with the radiance of his special ability. Gathering at the entrance of the cave, he managed to withstand a few rounds of concentrated fire. If not for his ice shield's defense, the entire Aurora Battle Squadron would have long since been routed.
"Hehe, everyone from the Extreme Light Academy, hand over your badges. Don't waste your time like a cornered beast. You'll only suffer more injuries!" The people outside also didn't want to waste time. While attacking, they were also persuading them to surrender.
"Dream on!" The warrior in the col gritted his teeth and replied, "Take it from my dead body if you dare!"
Extreme Light Academy!
The ones encircling and attacking them were precisely the students from the Lightning Dragon Academy led by Casio. In fact, Casio's people didn't even need to take any action, as the endless firepower of the dozen or so long ranged soldiers from the various squadrons had already completely suppressed the group of students from the Extreme Light Academy, causing them to curl up in a corner of the mountain to defend themselves. Despite Lei Bing's rather tyrannical ice shield, the Soul Power of a single person was still unable to contend against the concentrated firepower of a dozen or so long ranged soldiers. Furthermore, the close combat soldiers from the Lightning Dragon Academy and the other squadrons were already rubbing their palms together, as the suppression of firepower and numbers was too obvious. Despite the high fighting spirit of the students from the Extreme Light Academy, from the looks of it, it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
Even a random barrage of attacks would be able to blast them to death. This was the genius of Casio. Regardless of whether it was a cheap trick or not, his strategy of forming an alliance was the most effective in such a situation. As long as they didn't bump into the S and A ranked squadrons, the rest were just noobs. In fact, it wasn't impossible for the A- ranked squadrons to have no hope, as they would at most suffer some casualties.
Coincidentally, a battle had just ended within the Dalashe Snow Forest. Being a B + ranked squadron, the Campbell Academy, there were already 7 to 8 people lying on the ground. The entire battle had lasted for over 5 minutes. Their opponents were too strong, and had occupied an advantageous terrain to wait for the enemy to exhaust themselves. With the sudden attack, they were completely unable to retaliate. Captain Bei Beiqi looked in despair at the 10 black figures walking over. Their uniforms were embroidered with a white wolf's head. Bei Beiqi had seen the introduction of this academy before: Stowe Luge Academy, a squadron with an overall evaluation of A- rank.
"Why?!" Clenching his teeth fiercely, Bei Beiqi clutched onto the precious badge in his hand and roared loudly, "You guys are an A rank squadron! Furthermore, you've long gathered enough badges! Why do you still want to analyse us?!"
"Haha, I can only say that this is a problem with your intelligence." From within the shadows, a burly man with a height of nearly 2 metres stood out. Although he had a massive build, his steps were exceedingly light and graceful. Extending his hand towards Bei Beiqi, he said, "Since there's nothing to do, isn't it pretty good to use you guys for practice? Hand over your badges and scram."
"Dream on!" Bei Beiqi spat out, before Soul Power suddenly gushed out from his hand. With a 'pa' sound, he crushed the badge into pieces. "Even if I'm eliminated, I won't let you guys off easily!"
With the badge in his hand, with Bei Beiqi's strength, no one was able to stop him in time. With a sigh, the burly man replied, "Why do you have to do this? I haven't finished speaking. Angering us won't do you any good."
The captain of the Stowe Luge Academy, Bopa, was also famous for being tyrannical. His hobby was to find pleasure from the bodies of weaklings, regardless of whether it was a squadron or a woman.
"What, you want to bite me?" Bei Beiqi sneered. He had always been a vicious person. "If you have the ability, then kill me. Let's perish together."
The people from the Stowe Luge Academy roared with laughter. The B + rank squadron was already a threat to them. However, their sneak attack was extremely successful, allowing them to eliminate their opponents without shedding a single drop of blood. Birds of a feather flock together. Bopa and the others were extremely fond of the feeling of being victorious, especially when their opponents were struggling on their deathbed.
"Haha, what a fool." Another voice rang out, as Reeves sneered. "There's no need for us to personally take action if we want to kill you guys."
With a kick, he trampled an injured squadron member onto the ground, before casually ripping off his tactical backpack. "Strip them naked!"
Bei Beiqi's expression instantly changed. In this world of ice and snow, 7 to 8 of his squadron members were injured, without any coordinates or assistance. Even their tactical backpack, which was their only means of protection against the cold, had been snatched away. This was no different from taking their lives. "This is murder! How dare you guys! "
"Tsk tsk. You guys really are childish. You guys can't survive without clothes. How does your academy teach you guys about survival? It's a good opportunity for you guys to learn from it." Said Reeves with a smile, causing everyone to burst into laughter once again. Bopa was extremely fond of Reeves, not only because of his background, but also because he was always able to come up with new tricks to prank people.
