At this level, it would be too childish to believe that the loss was a coincidence. He had not even forced Wang Zhong into a predicament. While receiving treatment, Bobo was in fact pondering over the matter. Although he was arrogant, he wasn't an impulsive person. What's more, Alasi was still in control of the overall situation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, it's now 11 am Federation time! The 5th duel of the CHF round-of-16, the group battle between Tianjing and Torres, is about to begin! I'm your host, Ruo Zhi! "
The resting time for both sides quickly arrived, causing countless gazes to converge onto the stage. At this moment, thunderous cheers rang out across the stadium. Although the earlier duels had been spectacular, the winner was the king, while the loser was the bandit. This group battle was the deciding factor.
"I'm your host, Chen Yu 'er. Having reached this stage, I believe that everyone is already impatient to see the highest level of competition between both sides. The group battle is the best way to test one's overall combat prowess."
Said Ruo Zhi with a smile. "The number of people watching this group battle has broken 15 million on Skylink, creating a new record. In terms of support, Tianjing and Torres are still evenly matched!"
Although there were many supporters for Tianjing, there were also quite a few for Torres. After all, they were a veteran aristocratic family of the Federation. Furthermore, they weren't as weak as Bella Dean, nor were they as overbearing as the Zhao Family. Torres's popularity was still extremely high, and the supporters of both sides were extremely supportive during crucial moments.
The members of both squadrons walked out from their resting rooms at the same time.
Although they had fallen behind 2: 3 in the earlier duel, the Torres squadron members had already completely recovered their confidence and calmness. This was the temperament that a strong squadron should possess.
A genuine expert needed to learn how to erupt in the face of adversity. Furthermore, those who had never experienced adversity would never become experts.
"Torres's 5-man group has appeared. It's a rather interesting formation." Ruo Zhi was the first to notice the problem with their formation. "The squadron's 2 mainstay assassins, as well as Caliban Crowe, who had obtained the crucial point for Torres, have unexpectedly not taken the stage!
"Captain Alasi, vice-captain Bobo, mainstay warrior Cabel, and the other two are actually the squadron's substitute ranged soldiers. Are they preparing to launch a three-ranged soldier strategy?" Chen Yu 'er said with a dumbfounded expression.
Hearing those words, Ruo Zhi could not help but nod his head in agreement. "Frankly speaking, this strategy is too flashy. It's definitely something that Alasi has come up with. From the earlier matches, we can already feel that the Tianjing squadron's defensive and counterattack capabilities are rather valiant. However, what about their offensive capabilities?"
It could be said that other than Wang Zhong, no one else had the ability to break through the defenses of the CHF.
Barron? Definitely not. A group battle wasn't the style of a heavy soldier like him. Emily? It was far from enough!
Scarlett, a smart ranged warrior, but clearly not enough.
As for the others, they couldn't even see it!
"It's rather regrettable that Grai wasn't able to make it in time for the match." Said Ruo Zhi as he held onto the information he had just received. "Compared to Torres's three-ranged soldier strategy, Tianjing's lineup appears to be more conservative. Wang Zhong, Barron, Scarlett and Emily, the four mainstays, have not missed a single one. Tianjing's third year student, Lily, has filled Grai's empty spot. Just like Barron, she's wielding a heavy shield. Their tactical intent is already rather clear. They have also realised their own problems, and have chosen to use their substitute heavy soldier to increase their defensive capabilities in group battles. However, is Tianjing's substitute, Lily, really up to the task in a match of this level? "
The greatest problem for Tianjing was that the standard of their bench wasn't just one or two levels lower than their mainstays. Even if they were to go up, they would only be there for show.
However, that wasn't the problem. No one paid too much attention to Ruo Zhi's analysis, as everyone's gazes were focused on the cross wheels in Wang Zhong's hands.
Without any warning, the entire audience of over a hundred thousand people in the stadium instantly went into an uproar. As for the Skylink, it had instantly exploded, with the enthusiasm rising to an unimaginable level. The number of people watching this match had unexpectedly risen by over 200,000!
That's right! This was the charm of the Laforgue Infinite Slash Cross Wheels!
This was a type of feeling. The Federation worshipped heroes, worshipped the legendary Laforgue, and the miraculous combat achievements he had created with the cross wheels. However, after Laforgue, there were no more cross wheels. Despite being one of the 10 great Divine Weapons, it was viewed as a useless weapon by countless people of the Federation. This had provided Wang Zhong with too many topics to talk about during his rise to power.
"Laforgue the Second!"
"He's clearly the King of the Era! Although senior Laforgue is very cool, he's a lone hero! How can he be as all-rounded as Wang Zhong! "
"I hereby announce that Torres can surrender! So what if they have 3 ranged soldiers? Even if they were added together, they wouldn't be as formidable as brother King's cross wheels! "
The Skylink and stadium were filled with joy. However, the faces of everyone from the Tianjing squadron weren't looking good. Their opponent's arrangements were completely different from Tianjing's predictions. This time, even the king of theory, Wang Zhong, had miscalculated.
Perhaps, it wasn't a miscalculation, as Tianjing had too little room to choose from. There were many points that their opponent could target, as well as the depth of their lineup and bench. As of now, Tianjing was only facing the most difficult situation.
"Those fellows from Torres sure are steady." Finally, a rare smile appeared on Gui Hao's face. Upon seeing the lineup of both sides, he felt relieved.
Gui Hao couldn't be bothered to praise Wang Zhong's cross wheels. However, he could confirm that the range of the cross wheels was definitely not as far as the 3 ranged soldiers from Torres!
Take a look at the 3 ranged soldiers from Torres. There was no need to talk about Alasi, as his Mogren's Guns were famous for their long range. As for the other 2, they were actually using a heavy cannon and a Gauss sniper rifle!
There was no need to talk about the superiority or inferiority of their firepower. Just their firing range alone was far from what Wang Zhong's cross wheels and Scarlet's pistols could compare to!
Giving up on their mainstay assassins in order to increase their ranged firepower. Torres was clearly bullying Tianjing for not having a genuine defensive type heavy soldier, as well as a lack of firing range. Being an S ranked aristocratic family squadron, it was a little degrading for them to display such a defensive and counterattack formation against a commoner squadron like Tianjing. However, only by winning would they have the qualifications to evaluate their opponents. If they were to lose, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to be degraded.
"If Tianjing wants to win, Wang Zhong can't waste his energy on defence. He has to attack. It all depends on that Barran and his substitute heavy soldier. If they're unable to block Torres' firepower … "
"Ha ha. If they're unable to block Torres, we'll just have to wait and see All Mouthy King's 1 VS 5 performance." said Gui Hao with a smile. "I believe that it'll be a unique performance!"
That was simply too obvious a sarcastic remark.
1 VS 5? With Bobo wielding his Golden Trident, Alasi wielding his Mogren's Guns, as well as the support of his 3 other squadron members, no one would be able to take on 5 VS 1. At the very least, no one in this CHF would be able to do so. All Mouthy King was no exception.
