The detachment from the left side of the First Thousand-Person Team, upon seeing the enemy's change in formation, adjusted their plans and directly joined forces with the 400-man team, totaling 650 men to encircle the 250 foes.
At this moment, all the warriors on the battlefield engaged in close combat. On the right, Zhong Hongke led 100 men to confront 250 enemies; in the center, the First Thousand-Person Team's 650 men surrounded another group of 250; and on the left, 250 men faced off against 500!
As everyone witnessed the rapid adjustments between the two battle teams, they felt somewhat dazzled. Yet, there was no denying that the several changes in formation were quite spectacular. The ultimate situation that developed was likely not what either team had anticipated.
"Who do you think will win?" Pao Bai asked Commander Cheng Liujin beside him.
Without hesitation, Cheng Liujin replied, "Naturally, it's the First Thousand-Person Team."
"You see, Zhong Hongke is leading the most elite force in the entire Thousand-Person Team. Although they only have 100 men, they can definitely take on three; with Zhong Hongke's advanced combat ability, despite being outnumbered, they will achieve a complete victory."
Cheng Liujin was one of the top experts in the Star-Eye Clan, and he could see a lot at a glance.
"In the middle, the 650 against 250 will also turn into a one-sided battle. Speaking of strength, the Seventh Thousand-Person Team falls short, and without a numerical advantage, they naturally cannot resist. As for the left side, while they are at a disadvantage in numbers, it is only a one-fold difference, which is enough to hold on until the other two battlefields are resolved. It’s just uncertain how many people will remain after the First Thousand-Person Team finishes. In terms of response, the Seventh Thousand-Person Team is actually doing quite well."
Others agreed; indeed, as Cheng Liujin had predicted, the first to finish was Zhong Hongke's side. The elite 100 men annihilated their opponents with overwhelming ease and quickly rushed to the center, where the previously besieged 250 were swiftly crushed.
Although the Seventh Thousand-Person Team still held the upper hand on the left side, the tide had turned, and they were annihilated after the First Thousand-Person Team arrived.
After a brief wait, the terminal calculated the results, announcing that the Seventh Thousand-Person Team had been completely wiped out, with 782 survivors from the First Thousand-Person Team.
When the Seventh Thousand-Person Team came off the field, they were all downcast. They had high hopes for this battle, believing that with the right tactics, they still had a slim chance of victory. However, the final outcome left them feeling unable to lift their heads.
They knew they would likely lose, but they never expected to lose so disastrously. With their entire army wiped out, they had only managed to take down over 200 enemies. They couldn't help but question if the disparity in strength was really that great.
Ye Zhongming had been watching intently, after all, these were his subordinates. Now that the battle was over, he relaxed slightly.
"What did you observe?" Lord Yan asked with a smile.
"I was just thinking, if the Seventh Team had chosen a direct confrontation, would they have taken down more than 200 enemies by the end?"
After saying this, Ye Zhongming smiled and added, "Actually, discussing these matters is pointless. Before the fight, the weaker side must surely find ways to secure victory, and their choices are understandable."
The King of Cloud Summit was simply accustomed to considering issues from the perspective of winning. He wondered what he would do if he were on the weaker side or how as a commander, he could lead his troops to take down the First Thousand-Person Team.
As the first match concluded, the second began immediately, with the Second Thousand-Person Team facing the Tenth Thousand-Person Team.
This was also a battle characterized by a significant power gap. The Tenth Thousand-Person Team was formed most recently, and its members' quality naturally varied. Even with years of development, they still couldn't compare with the earlier teams.
