"We absolutely cannot get second place in the group."
At 8 p.m., in the virtual combat room, Schneider spoke to his men.
His expression was very serious.
Several comrades nodded in agreement.
The consequences of finishing second in the group are dire; it could very well mean facing off against the Mika Empire.
Because there is still a certain gap between the Mika Empire and the Russell Empire.
In contrast, Carl Misser had it much easier.
"Xia Guo is very powerful, but that doesn't necessarily mean we're afraid of them. Demolition competitions have always been one of our traditional strengths."
So I hope you play freely against Brussels Empire.
Whether we face Xia Guo in the finals or the semifinals, we'll crush them!
...
In a special atmosphere, the third round of the group stage began.
Poulos's pre-match strategy was brilliant, but during the match... it was not executed properly.
They encountered the Xia Kingdom, which was more sophisticated and more talented than the North.
Despite resting Anita, Xia Guo still firmly maintained control of the game in this match.
In the end, they seemingly narrowly defeated Prus with a score of 17-13.
When reviewing the match after it ended, Schneider was astonished to find that the matches Xia Guo lost were all within their expectations.
But Xia Guo won every game they were supposed to win.
As a result, Xia Guo secured first place in the group and advanced to the semifinals tomorrow morning.
In the other group, the Mika Empire continued its winning streak, crushing the Brussel Empire with a score of 17-8.
Brussels finished second in their group, and will have no choice but to face Xia Guo in the semifinals.
The Mika Empire will face the Prus Empire in the semi-finals.
...
The match is over.
Jiang Chu returned to the villa and, together with several comrades, began to study the Mika Empire.
"They didn't play one of their key players."
Jiang Chu said, "Xiao An, your future opponent is this person."
“Okay, I understand! Boss, leave it to me!” Anita said confidently.
Anita hasn't played a single game yet; this is already her Nth game.
Yu Liang's strength is undeniable. Jiang Chu let Yu Liang go on stage early simply to let Yu Liang warm up and experience the atmosphere of the competition in advance.
Anita and Yu Liang are completely different; she is the plug-and-play type.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Chu's tactical deployment only took a dozen minutes, after which he sent them all back to rest.
Before Huo Xiao left, Jiang Chu called out to him, "Did you meet with Yingzhu?"
"Uh, we had lunch together," Huo Xiao said, blushing.
"We can meet up tonight."
Jiang Chu said without hesitation.
Huo Xiao was extremely embarrassed: "Boss, I... I'm afraid of an accidental discharge."
Compared to their useless leader, Huo Xiao is still quite promising.
Under the tutelage of the rogue Cai Wujin, Huo Xiao got together with Jin Yingzhu shortly after she returned to China.
Huo Xiao had no idea that Jiang Chu would give him a day off for the big exam tomorrow!
"Boss, am I not a key player tomorrow? Does that mean I can't play when we play against Mika?" Huo Xiao asked anxiously.
"No, you are the absolute main force."
Jiang Chu said calmly, "Go ahead, you've been under too much pressure lately, let it all out."
"puff!"
Huo Xiao almost spat out blood: "Boss, this works?"
"Listen to me, go ahead. I'm giving all of you an early holiday. If you have friends, you can have some fun tonight. Just don't let it interfere with tomorrow's semi-final."
Huo Xiao didn't understand Jiang Chu's meaning, but he still resolutely carried it out.
As soon as Huo Xiao stepped out of Jiang Chu's villa, he called Jin Yingzhu: "Yingzhu, I miss you."
"Brother, am I... bothering you?"
Kim Young-joo said shyly, "You have a match tomorrow."
"It's alright, I'll come find you," Huo Xiao said.
No one objected to Huo Xiao and Jin Yingzhu's relationship; in fact, it became a popular topic of conversation.
They were a handsome couple, and both were strong members of their respective teams.
A few days ago, the two of them unlocked the fourth layer of their genetic lock without any major incidents, once again becoming the focus of attention.
Kim Young-joo received high praise from Kim Tae-yang.
Huo Xiao went out.
Just as they reached a short distance outside the Xia Kingdom villa area, they saw Kim Young-joo and a female companion approaching.
This female companion was not a member of the Pyongtu Military Academy, but a good friend of Kim Young-joo who had lived in Prussia for a long time.
"Yingzhu, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're being too humble."
Is your boyfriend really that chauvinistic? He actually made you go see him in person? That's incredibly ostentatious! You're going to have a hard time if you marry a guy like that.
Hearing this, Kim Young-joo smiled and shook her head: "My brother would never let me suffer! He's the best to me. Also, I want to give him a surprise."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder Lao Cai and the boss often say, "Beware of fire, theft, and best friends." It seems that it's true!
On the other hand, he felt a warmth in his heart.
Huo Xiao's circle of friends is full of beautiful girls, but very few are gentle, especially those as understanding and gentle as Jin Yingzhu.
This is why Huo Xiao likes Jin Yingzhu.
He even blushed a little when he thought about the first time he was with Kim Young-joo.
"I'm such a jerk, how could I be so rude?" Huo Xiao sighed.
"elder brother!"
As soon as Kim Young-joo saw Huo Xiao, she flew into his arms like a little bird.
