The first battle at Divine Punishment Volcano officially commenced. Amid the chaotic battlefield, a player named Sunshine Fresh Orange Bao raised his arm and shouted, "Charge with me!"
However, he was neither the captain nor a team leader, so most people would not listen to him. Yet, a small group of players nearby, lost and directionless, were unconsciously inspired by his determination and followed him without realizing it!
This small group of followers would witness Sunshineâs rise! Thus, he shouted again, "We absolutely cannot let them cast their spells!"
Then in the next moment, a few Hell Race red-named players appeared in the smoky haze, concentrating on casting great magic. The followers couldnât help but shout excitedly, "Japanese players spotted! Theyâre right in front of us!"
At that moment, the captain hesitated. If he let everyone scatter to evade now, at least half of the players at the edges of the bombardment zone could be saved. But if they turned to charge toward the Japanese players, they would face a direct hit from the Japanese firepower! Perhaps one Meteor Shower isnât frightening, but ten Meteor Showers dropping would certainly wipe out the team!
Therefore, the captain made what he thought was the safest decision: "Leave them for now; letâs prioritize survival!"
At that moment, Ono smiled happily! Ono knew very clearly what a cowardly order meant in the current fervor. Thus, being a captain requires sacrificing oneâs subordinates to establish his own heroic reputation; without this mind of personal gain, it shows heâs unfit for captain.
Getting closer, Sunshineâs team charged resolutely toward the Japanese players casting spells; the Japanese players at this moment had no power to resist! If they resisted, they would have to stop casting, which could save the teamâs crisis. In any case, this was the moment to make a name for oneself! Players in the team eagerly started recording this exciting moment!
But they didnât know that this was a scene directed by the Japanese zone, and they were just extras collecting their lunchboxes!
As the team rushed toward the Japanese players, the Meteor Shower casting by the Japanese players was complete, and meteors crashed down massively, information of team members being killed by Japanese players filled the team channel!
And in the next moment, these 10 Japanese players immediately freed their hands to deal with the team in front of them, causing players to shout furiously, "Damn! A step too late!"
Indeed, they would always be a step too late, as every step was calculated by the professional experts. The final and most spectacular performance was officially beginning!
Fresh Orange Baob clenched his gun tightly: "Brothers, fight!"
"Fight!"
In the next moment, ten fireballs came flying, boom boom boom boom!!! The Fresh Orange Bao team evaporated into light within a sea of fire! Their final contribution was another row of kill information for the team channel! Yetâmiraculously it still happened!
ââTeam Channel: Team member "Sunshine Fresh Orange Bao" killed Japan zone enemy camp player "Kaiâs Tiger"!
ââTeam Channel: Team member "Sunshine Fresh Orange Bao" was killed by Japan zone enemy camp player "Sessho Kanpaku"!
"Wow!" The team channel was in an uproar! Since the start of the National War, China Regionâs first kill was finally born!
However, now wasnât the time to celebrate, the captain first reacted quickly: "Their big moves are done, everyone regroup, charge!"
However, the Japanese players wouldnât give Chinese players the chance to regroup, the remaining 9 Japanese players attacked in 9 directions, killing along the way with fireballsâ the gap between Second-tier Demon Lord and ordinary players was evident! The team channel was filled with continuous surprised curses.
Upon witnessing the huge power gap the captain could only order: "Retreat! Remaining team members scatter!"
And looking at the team channelâs order, back at the Divine Punishment City resurrection point, "Ono Fresh Orange Bao" smiled again. A failed captain issued two cowardly retreat orders in a row, he couldnât mix in anymore unless he had connections. But if he had connections, it was just right to spray thoroughly with his connections.
At this moment, the team members who died and returned to the city before the Fresh Orange Bao happily held on and asked, "How did you manage to kill that Japanese player earlier?"
Fresh Orange Bao laughed, "I have a gunnerâs hidden profession skill of three consecutive stabs, although now I can only stab twice, itâs just enough to kill Japanese players!"
The crowd gasped, "Awesome hidden skill! Then how did you dodge so many fireballs?"
Fresh Orange Bao laughed, "You come to Hell without preparing some fire resistance gear, how can you mix in? The key is I also have an A-grade shield, Mithril Mirror Shield, which can reflect part of the magic damage." After speaking, he didnât mind showing the equipment attributes in the public channel.
Now all the team members at the resurrection point saw it, and couldnât help but be astonished, "Good stuff! If I had known, I would have prepared a set of fire-resistant gear!"
At this moment, a few reporters who had been idling in Divine Punishment City surrounded them immediately. "Excuse me, did you encounter Japanese players?"
Ono rejoiced inwardly, just right they came!
Faced with the reporterâs questions, the complaints of players on the scene immediately found a channel to vent, "Damn it, fought terribly!"
"Estimate itâll be a full wipeout, I couldnât escape but was chased down and killed anyway."
At this moment, a flash of white light appeared at the resurrection point, players couldnât help but laugh, "The captain returned dead as well! Reporters go directly and ask the captain!"
The reporters surrounded immediately, "Excuse me, what are your thoughts on this team wipeout?"
The captain replied irritably, "Sorry, I have nothing to say right now!"
Right then, Ono Fresh Orange Bao spoke calmly, "You failed because of cowardice! I clearly spotted the Japanese players and started alerting everyone, you didnât call others to charge with me, otherwise who wouldâve wiped out whom wasnât certain."
"Right, right!" The team members finally found an appropriate scapegoat for their failure, "Too cowardly!" "A coward!"
The captain was infuriated, "You couldnât even save your own lives, and you still want to die charging!"
The team members cursed out loud, "Now weâre all dead back in the city anyway, being cowardly is useless!"
The captain was furious, "Itâs because youâre all incompetent!"
"Bullshit! Fresh Orange Bao single-handedly killed a Japanese player! If youâre so great, go and try single-handedly killing one!"
At this moment, the entire resurrection point was as noisy as a market, reporters were even more excited, like they were on adrenaline, asking everywhere.
Thus, in the first round first battle of China Regionâs National War, Chinese players finished in complete defeat with a ratio of 1:100 in combat losses, and the contributor to the first kill, Fresh Orange Bao, finally came into the view of the Chinese Teamâs higher-ups from an unknown player.
At this time, applause filled the Mitsubishi Team Command Center.
Tsukamoto laughed, "Everyone worked hard, this battle finally displayed the rightful strength of our Japanâs main force. It will be easier to fight in the following situations; I, Mr. Yamada, Hirata, Mr. Tsujiyama, Oda-kun, will continue to bring the main troops, attracting China Regionâs main force on the front battleground, you 10 continue moving in the mountain areas, specialize in stealth hunting ordinary players, making them dare not venture out and do quests, nor give them a chance to gather troops."
Gunno Yosai smiled, "I think we should give them a chance to gather troops."
Tsukamoto furrowed his brows, "Why?"
Gunno Yosai laughed, "Of course, letting them painstakingly gather two or three troops feeling huge security and accomplishment, then sending them to hell isnât it better?"
The players laughed aloud, "Makes sense!"
Sessho Kanpaku laughed, "Ono-kunâs performance was also perfect, currently heâs already starting to shine, in the subsequent battles we send him a few more kills he might become the captain, right?"
Everyone laughed, "Believe President Igarashi would be very happy hearing this news at the hospital!"
Tsukamoto laughed, "Indeed, everyone must continue working hard, reassuring the President during his rest!"
...
At this time, China Guild Alliance Chatroom.
The first round first battle completely exposed the strength gap between ordinary Chinese players and Japanese professional experts, it was utterly one-sided delivering player heads, not only affecting China Regionâs morale but also adding pressure to large guilds like Bloodrose. However, ordinary players canât be excluded, or thereâll be more trouble.
How are the subsequent battles to be fought? At this moment, all the leaders turned their gaze silently towards Ma Yinglongâs head.
Ma Yinglongâs heart tightened, "Why are you looking at me?"
Zhou Qing sighed, "Brother Ma, you say, Japanâs Hell players entered our China Regionâs Divine Punishment City, canât you, as the leader of the China Regionâs Dark Alliance, send a few Hell players over?"
The leaders scorned angrily, "Exactly! Donât you have a player called Lei Huolong whoâs said to be Chinaâs number one Hell player? Where on earth did he disappear to?"
Ma Yinglong sighed, "They all switched camps to become hidden profession, canât enter. In any case, I already considered this last night, Iâm currently scouting a few folk experts from Hell Race, give me some time."
The leaders cursed, "You sneaky hiding profession, youâve been secretly making a fortune this whole time!" (To be continued.
