After entering the competition venue, Darryl said to Parker, “Mister Yohan, please cover me later. I’m not so familiar with this soldiers formation.”
Darryl intentionally raised his voice when he said that. He wanted Quinton and the rest to hear it as he looked sincere, and his eyes showed his desperation.
Darryl said this intentionally so that not only could he hide his real ability, but so he could also trick Quinton and the others to let their guard down.
At that moment, Quinton, Titus, and the rest looked at each other with an arrogant smile. ‘Luca is such a coward. He’s panicking even before the competition starts. Too bad he offended Mister Jefferson; he’ll be the first to be eliminated later.’
Darryl was not bothered by their insulting gazes. Instead, he followed Parker closely, waiting for her reply.
Parker bit her lips and said, “Let’s see how it goes later.”
Although she knew about war strategies, she only learned it on books. It would be the first time she put it into real practice.
Honestly, Parker did not want to agree with Darryl. ‘Luca is just an ordinary person, and his soldiers formation knowledge will definitely not be as good as mine. I don’t gain anything by forming an alliance with him. However, I have no choice; he knows I’m a girl. I have to help him as much as I can.’
When she thought of that, Parker said softly, “When the competition starts, you lead your soldiers and stay closer to me. Don’t get separated.”
“Alright.” Darryl pretended to be really emotional when he heard that as he nodded continuously. “Thank you, Mister Yohan, for taking me under your wing. Whether I can qualify for the next round is solely dependent on you.”
He was trying to impress Parker when he said that. Although Parker was arrogant most of the time and high-maintenance, she was kind-hearted.
At that time, all participants with their soldiers had already gathered in place. The competition was about to start.
The whistle went off, and Quinton roared as he led his soldiers and charged towards Darryl, “Charge!”
There were eight participants in a group of each session. Quinton and the other three were focused solely on Darryl and Parker from the beginning. They had forgotten about the other two participants.
“Sh*t. Let’s eliminate these two first!” Quinton’s face darkened as he shouted.
Then, he led the soldiers to turn and meet the rest! Titus and the other two followed closely behind him. The six groups broke out into a chaotic battle instantly.
As there were not many people in the competition, the battle was not very large scale. However, it was still very intense!
All six teams were battling intensely, with their shouts echoing through the venue. All types of weapons and techniques were everywhere!
Darry sighed to himself when he saw that and said to Parker, “They’re battling intensely now; we should find an opportunity to ambush them!”
