Chapter 1121: This is Deterrence!

Peng peng peng…

Light, rhythming knocking. The door opened, and a tall, grim Aslan officer walked in.

“Your Highness.”

“Lacus. Arrange for the best treatments, and take me to see the wounded,” Aina said.

“Yes, Your Highness,” Lacus respectfully said. “The qualifier results are over, and Saruman Snake battle team is in first place.”

Aina nodded. “I know. Go arrange it.”

This result would surprise her aunt, but given her understanding of her aunt, she would not be so charitable to let him rest. The most important thing was to cherish the time now and give Wang Zheng sufficient time to recover. The battle could not be pushed forward, and her only solution now would be to act first and set the tone. After all, it would not be Wang Zheng alone who was hurt.

This win had given Aina the resolution to fight back. But most importantly, she wanted to see Wang Zheng.

Prime Minister’s Office.

Seeing the battle report, Kashawen was taken aback. “You’re saying that the Saruman Snake battle team is in first place?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. I’ve checked it, and there are no problems. Wang Zheng’s performance has caused quite a stir with the generals. Lya Sphinx’s Qiqin Nacchai is dead, and this is a great blow to Lya Sphinx.”

Kashawen’s brows creased. “That Qiqin Nacchai whom you told me to watch previously?”

“Yes, Qiqin Nacchai was Lya Sphinx’s ace weapon which they groomed heavily. Who would have thought that he would die even before entering the main competition? Lya Sphinx is in an uproar, thinking that Aslan had other intentions.”

Kashawen smiled slightly. “No need to be bothered by the yappings of the weak. What I want to know is if Wang Zheng is too strong, or if it was Qiqin Nacchai who was less than made out to be.”

The secretary paused for a while. “Your Excellency, I am no expert in military matters. But the opinion of the various generals is that Wang Zheng has immeasurable potential, and Manalasuo’s General Bolet favors him greatly.”

Kashawen looked at Mitchell. “Since when did you lose an opinion and adopted others?”

Mitchell looked at Kashawen. “That person… is very frightening. If possible, either rope him in, or deal with him as soon as possible!”

Kashawen nodded. “Since the qualifiers ended early, then the main competition should begin earlier as well.”

“Your Highness, the Princess has already put out the news that she will personally visit the wounded of each nation, in order to demonstrate the care and civility of Aslan.”

Kashawen pondered for a moment. She smiled and did not speak, waving her hand. Mitchell bowed and left.

That wench was growing up, and was actually biting back now. Very well, see how far she could push it. This business with Wang Zheng could be a good chance to sharpen Aina, and speed her growth and understanding of the world.

The final qualifier tally was displayed by result. The final 64 teams had entered the main competition, and the top 10 in the qualifiers were:

1. Saruman Snake (Elite Academy X)

9. Golden Wheel battle team (Manalasuo)

10. Zero Degrees battle team (Hail Cloud Alliance)

The rest, like Astina Federation, Gemini Star, etc, who were traditionally strong teams, had also entered the main competition. Of course, the qualifiers did not mean anything. Some teams were conserving ability and strength, only they had not expected the result to be out this quickly. The poorest showing was Lya Sphinx’s team. They had come full of ambition and had brought the ability to back it up, but their leader had been eliminated, and the supporting members’ efforts were for naught.

And the one that had eliminated Lya Sphinx’s was the Greatest – King Saruman Snake battle team.

All kinds of doubts, and the grudges against Wang Zheng before the competition – none of them had slowed Saruman Snake’s pace down.

The main competition was smaller in scale. Besides Aslan, perhaps only a few military departments would be watching. The various national medias would be subject to appropriate control in their reporting. This was a rule. Due to the overly savage battles and process, often reporting a result to the masses would be sufficient.

But Aslan’s result had still stirred waves. Almost everybody that knew anything about the goings on regarded Saruman Snake as a goner. But not only had Saruman Snake not been eliminated, but they were actually first in the qualifiers. It was unimaginable.

Even given that Wang Zheng was a mysterious earthling whose powers were godlike, what about his members?

Saruman Snake’s members were average at best within SIG!

Achilles, Lie Xin, and the rest were stunned as well. Although Mu Zhen was wounded all over, but he had actually secured eight tags. The Tita member had displayed his mighty affinity for jungle warfare, and his ability and speed in making traps was second nature. It was a basic skill that every Tita person learned from young.

Mu Zhen’s result could be expected. He had a favorable environment. But Zhang Shan?

That guy had no Ability X, but had actually taken a godlike nine tags. This was ridiculous. Under their stares, even the usually cheeky Zhang Shan caved.

“PICKED UP???” Lie Xin yelled. “ARE YOU HAVING A FEVER?”

Zhang Shan winced. “I really did pick it up. I was just sleeping after a meal. Then I woke up and picked it up. I thought it was supplies, but there were nine tags inside. If I weren’t so aware, I would have thought I had a new ability.”

“What ability?” Ao Ziwei asked curiously.

“Making wishes come true.”

They looked at each other, then burst out laughing.

“Looks like someone’s helping us secretly. That means we still have friends,” Vincent said.

Achilles shook his head slightly. “I can’t think of who it is. Who has such extreme ability and confidence? Anyone know someone like that?”

They were stunned. That made sense. The elimination rates were high, and competition intense. Who knew how many this person had finished off? They had given Zhang Shan nine, but what about himself?

Such power was leader level. But the only leader level person on island B was Olivios. But it was unthinkable that Olivios would help them. More importantly, this was not something that was in character for Olivios.

At the same time, this person had completely avoided Zhang Shan’s senses. Such power…

All of them felt thrown off. Could there be such pros still hidden amongst them?

“No need to be so serious. It’s a good thing, and we’re in the main competition. We can go see Wang Zheng tomorrow. I heard that guy conducted a massacre, and beat island A silly.”

“Haha, news is spreading outside already.”

“I’m hungry. Let’s go to the canteen!” Zhang Shan said.

“I’m hungry too.” Mu Zhen rubbed his stomach. Mu Zhen had finished off more than the number of tags indicated, as not every elimination translated to a tag.

Although Takumi and Aoli had been eliminated, but Saruman Snake battle team’s overall battle power was still rather complete. Mu Zhen and the rest were only lightly wounded, and the only one in a serious state was Wang Zheng. But given the time, he should be able to recover.

The canteen was full of people. Various representatives of different countries were present. After such a savage qualifier, there had to be much to talk about, and those that remained were filled with anticipation for the coming battles.

Zhang Shan and the rest entered the canteen laughing and chatting. But the moment they entered, the entire hall quietened down.

Everyone was looking at them. The Greatest King from Elite Academy X, and no. 1 at the qualifiers. Plus, they were rumored to have a legendary captain, one who dared to take on the world, and had defeated Mars, González, Qiankun Zadeh, and Qiqin Nacchai, the four pros, in succession. He was really a legend.

If the Greatest King Competition had happened too far away, then this was a live experience!
