Chapter 467: Chapter 125: Surrounded by Enemies_1
“Overturn all cars!”
Jasmine had those words printed on the wall right by the entrance to the base.
Very conspicuous, overly domineering.
But, of course, the effect was quite impressive.
During the one remaining week of preparation time, both the Brotherhood Group and the Social Phobia Group were as energized as if they’d been injected with adrenaline.
None of them would dare rest until they were completely exhausted.
It seemed to be a result of accumulated efforts, or perhaps their heightened motivation, but the team’s combat power shot up suddenly.
While this made Link feel both gratified and speechless.
He was gratified because his efforts had not been wasted.
His speechlessness had to do with the fact that this sudden boost in morale had a much bigger effect than all of his carefully planned trainings.
A week passed by.
Link received two notifications early that day.
The first one informed him of the assembly’s time and location, reminding him not to be late.
The second was about the tournament rules and regulations.
After glancing at the time and place, Link had a clear idea and moved on to read the game rules.
The tournament, a “friendly” competition over the Supreme Council’s “education funding” allocation, is participated by five of the top wizard forces — Ravensmouth College, Shadow City, Flame and Metal Trading Company, Mesopotamia University, and White Tower Alliance from the Mitchell District — only second to the Tower of the Great Sage Mitchell.
On one hand, it was a competition; on the other, there was no concept of friendship.
It was divided into individual matches and team matches. freewebnoveℓ.com
The team matches were to be held first, resembling a large-scale survival game.
Twenty teams would be dispatched from different locations into a competition field transformed from a desolate world.
The survival area would decrease every hour.
Each team would have a special device that would send a location signal to the other nineteen teams every hour.
Once a team lost more than 5 members, it would be disqualified.
The team that eliminates the most teams would rank first;
The first team to reach the final safe circle would rank second;
The following rankings would be calculated based on the combination of the number of teams eliminated and the loss of membership.
As long as they could provide a reasonable source, any equipment was allowed for the 20 teams.
The format of the individual game was straightforward, a knockout stage.
20 to10, 10 to 5, 5 to 2, and the final.
The most special of these was the round from 5 to 2, where the 5 players would take turns to fight, each playing 4 rounds.
The top 2 who would advance to the finals would be decided based on their overall performance.
Of course, these were simply the established tournament formats, and actual situations might cause temporary changes.
For instance, in the round from 5 to 2, if a contestant was killed, not everybody would be able to play 4 rounds.
“Jasmine, inform everyone to gather in 10 minutes, check their equipment, and head to the Central Square in 20 minutes.”
As Link copied the two received notifications to Jasmine, the Brotherhood Group, and the Social Phobia Group, he gave this order.
“Okay, I will do it right away.”
Jasmine, who had been sitting next to Link, responded and immediately started operating on her brain device.
Twenty minutes later.
The Central Square of the Senior Division.
When Link arrived with the “free-to-do-anything” group of nine, they realized they were not the first team to get there.
From a distance, Link spotted a familiar face looking rather unpleasant.
Hawk Lucia!
It was rumored that Hawk Lucia and his close friend Bobby Smith had sent in their job applications to the Palo Sage army, and that Sage Palo himself approved them personally.
He didn’t expect to see Hawk here.
It seemed like Lucia’s family was placing great importance on this competition, even going so far as to forcibly call back Hawk Lucia.
With such a dark history of quitting the army halfway, apart from Lucia’s family’s army, which other army would accept Hawk?
It could be said that the moment Hawk was unable to resist the family pressure and left the Palo Sage army mid-way, his future had become much more constricted.
Among the team that Hawk belonged to, Link spotted several familiar Lucias.
Upon closer examination, Link discovered that they were four of the six First Level Wizards Lucia involved in the ambush at the West District.
He quickly counted and found the presence of five Lucias he knew in that team.
Apparently, this was the team secretly formed by Lucia’s family that Mina had mentioned in her intelligence report, prepared to snipe at Link.
Link pushed his gold-framed glasses slightly up his nose, let out a gentle smile, revealing his eight shiny white teeth.
Under the warm sunlight, a chilling light was reflected.
Even though his face was full of warm smiles, it made people shudder.
The principle of reciprocity applies not only to force but to observation as well.
While Link was observing the Lucias, Hawk was also observing him.
Seeing the smile on Link, Hawk shivered involuntarily.
He had done research on Link and watched some video data. Every time Link made such a move, it meant he had murder on his mind.
Obviously, the fact that their family had put together a team to snipe at Link had been exposed somehow.
Not only was Link Grande prepared, but he had also started to contemplate murder.
And in team matches, attacking your own teams was not prohibited, and there were targets for deaths.
A team with more than 5 members disqualified simply meant it had been eliminated, not that they could only kill 5 people.
If the power was sufficient, even killing all of them was not a problem.
Thinking of this, Hawk suddenly felt very sad.
What exactly were the elders of the family thinking?
Could they readily sacrifice the lives of younger generation members for the sake of the already lost honor?
At this moment, Hawk suddenly thought that his good friend Bobby’s words were very correct when he insisted on obeying the family’s orders and decided to quit the Palo Sage army against Bobby’s advice.
“My good friend Hawk is already dead.”</p
