Central Continent team!
Zhao Yingkong held a dagger in her hand.
Zhang Jie wielded two Desert Eagles with infinite bullets.
Zheng Zha carried a short blade.
Alongside them was Alexis from the North Polar Team, holding an ice spear.
The four of them joined forces to face Tanaka Jūsuke, a three-sword-wielding samurai with a strength-focused route!
Tanaka Jūsuke's strength surpassed that of Nakamura Jinta.
Even though he was outnumbered, he surprisingly didn't fall behind in the fight.
Zheng Zha swung his weapon fiercely.
But if Zhao Yingkong hadn't been using her deadly dagger to force Tanaka Jūsuke into a defensive position, Zheng Zha would have already been full of bloody holes.
Behind Tanaka Jūsuke, East Sea Team's mentalist, retired actress Ikumi, and the muscle-bound, spiky-headed Kozumi Masao, were launching attacks on Gonniel, the captain of North Polar Team.
The three-team battle had officially begun.
The East Sea Team's Kozumi Masao was on the Toguro strength route.
He smashed the ice on his left arm with force, swinging his frost-covered arm in a wide arc and punching Gonniel, the ice-fruit user.
"Smack!"
Kozumi Masao felt pain shoot through his fist.
Gonniel's half face had turned into a humanoid ice sculpture, blocking the punch.
The ice was harder than iron and carried freezing cold.
Kozumi Masao quickly pulled back his fist, narrowly avoiding it being frozen.
"Damn it! Why isn't Miyata Kuraki back yet! It's all Nakamura Jinta's fault! He's such an idiot!"
Ikumi blushed as she dodged Gonniel's ice shards, panting.
"Miyata-kun… Miyata-kun will be back soon, very soon!"
All of this had been Chu Xuan's plan.
Just now, when Chu Xuan saw Yujin take to the sky, someone from East Sea Team followed on a Green Demon Skateboard.
He immediately ordered the North Polar Team Team to ambush East Sea Team.
This left Miyata Kuraki with no time to deal with Yujin.
He turned straight toward the main base.
This was a stealth attack on the home base.
Kabutack of Yehui charged into the East Sea Team's rookie squad.
Nova, whose werewolf bloodline had been enhanced, followed closely behind, claws slashing open one of the East Sea rookies' stomachs!
The score difference instantly widened by a point!
Soon after, Yujin took down Nakamura Jinta, adding another point.
The East Sea Team suddenly found themselves in a very passive position.
The East Sea Team consisted of five veterans and three rookies.
With one rookie dead and a veteran injured, the team would need to wipe out all the rookie squads of the Central Continent and North Polar Team just to recover and avoid falling behind in the Lord God Space.
But the difficulty of such a task was far beyond what the East Sea Team could handle easily.
The two rookies turned around and saw the Kabutack robot from their nation's anime, eyes glowing red, charging at them with a massive iron shovel.
They were so scared they nearly wet themselves!
They could only run blindly, not daring to look back.
The two rookies were certain they were about to die at Kabutack's hands.
However…
Gunshots rang out from a distance!
Two 5.56 bullets struck their heads with deadly precision.
Chu Xuan put away his AR-15 in the passenger seat, his eyes calm, as if everything had gone exactly as he calculated. He had known the two would try to escape here.
He started the car, pulled out his communicator, and synchronized all Central Continent team members.
"Target change. East Sea Team's strength reduced. North Polar Team now the strongest."
Zheng Zha, fighting alongside Alexis who wielded an ice spear, immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Chu Xuan! What are you doing?! The East Sea Team is our long-time enemy!"
"Do no harm, but be prepared to defend," Chu Xuan replied calmly.
He contacted the base, speaking to Zhan Lan.
"Did a team go over there on your end?"
Zhan Lan quickly used her psychic powers to scan.
In her view, a werewolf and a frail youth riding a green demon skateboard appeared.
"Yes! I… I think they mean no good!"
Chu Xuan showed no sign of surprise. Calmly speaking into the communicator, he ordered, "Except for Yujin, everyone retreat. Those who insist on fighting do so at their own risk."
As a colonel, Chu Xuan's tone carried an unmistakable authority.
Zheng Zha, Zhao Yingkong, and Zhang Jie, all engaged in combat, immediately ceased their attacks.
Even Alexis, who had just been a frontline fighter, seemed as if he had expected this and slid to the side.
Tanaka Jūsuke, covered in blood after being surrounded and attacked by four people for so long, grew furious as the others stepped back.
He swung his swords wildly.
"Come on! Fight! Why are you running, baka?!"
On the other side, Gonniel also seemed uninterested in continuing.
After narrowly dodging a punch from Masao, who had followed the enhancement path of Toguro, he slipped to the side and regrouped with Alexis.
"What… what just happened?" Ikumi, confused, hid behind Masao.
The East Sea Team lacked a high-level strategist. They had no plan for sudden changes in the battlefield.
Tanaka Jūsuke still wanted to chase Alexis, but Gonniel shouted urgently, "Turn your enemies into friends! The Central Continent Team has zero casualties! We can split their team members first!"
After just a few brief encounters, Gonniel came to a conclusion.
The Central Continent team… might not be a Farming Team!
At the same time, among the Central Continent team members on the field, the strongest was only that little girl wielding a dagger.
Her strength probably wouldn't even be enough to beat Alexis!
The Kabutack robot moved clumsily, and its owner was also a "trash" who hadn't enhanced their own abilities—completely negligible.
The wolf girl Nova was harder to kill due to her enhancements, but she could be left for last without causing much trouble.
Out of the five Central Continent team members on the field, they were no different from free points for Gonniel!
At the very least, these five were much easier to deal with than the three members of the East Sea Team!
From the information he had, all three newcomers of the East Sea Team had been defeated by the Central Continent team.
If he didn't make up for those three points here, Gonniel couldn't be confident about defeating the entire East Sea Team.
Besides the captain, the other fourteen members of the Central Continent team were all delicious rewards and side-story points waiting to be claimed!
So, the North Polar Team turned against them mid-battle!
The situation instantly reversed.
The East Sea Team on the field consisted of:
A reckless three-sword fighter.
A small dog-like warrior with a pointed head, enhanced with the bloodline of Toguro, Masao.
And the psychic controller named Ikumi.
None of the three understood why the captain of the North Polar Team suddenly declared an attack on the Central Continent team, who had just been their partners.
Thoughts flickered in Gonniel's eyes, as if his mind had already calculated a plan to toy with the East Sea Team like dogs.
