“The proposal is simple. While we knock out the British team, please don’t step out in Korea. Don’t intervene in battle, just concentrate on occupying empty areas.”
The Russian representative looks at me with serious eyes.
“By the time we face the British team, we should be able to capture 50 territories. And if you focus 50 areas… … .”
“With the 40/40 buff, we become virtually invincible?”
“yes.”
Increases damage dealt by 40%.
Reduces damage received by 40%.
You will receive these two buffs.
“If that happens, Korea’s acceptance will be confirmed.”
If I receive the 50 area focus buff, I won’t lose regardless of whether all the remaining 6 teams come in.
The power of the 40/40 buff is that strong.
“It would be beneficial to us then. What is the benefit of your alliance?”
“Simple. At least one team will be able to stick.”
The Russian representative said with a stern expression.
“I’ll be honest. Our alliance cannot beat the Korean and British alliances. If they do, it will be Korea and England that make it to the 3rd round. We will all be eliminated.”
It was a very cool and objective judgment of the situation.
As the Russian representative said, even if it is 2:6, the alliance cannot beat the alliance between Korea and Britain.
“But if you use this strategy, even if Korea passes, you can unconditionally drop England. Then there will be a spot for the third round.”
“Will the 6 teams compete for that first spot?”
“okay.”
“… … Who do you think?”
It’s a pretty fun trick.
“my thought.”
“… … Hmm.”
Seeing as he came alone to negotiate, he was just in case.
That was the opinion of the Russian representative.
“Certainly not a bad suggestion.”
“yes?”
As long as the proposal of the Russian representative is followed, Korea will be able to step up to the third round without any information being exposed.
The elimination of the formidable enemy of England is a bonus.
It’s not bad.
Definitely a good suggestion.
“Good idea. If we accept this offer, we will not be able to touch your coalition’s camp.”
If we occupy an empty area here, the team is eliminated and goes out of the arena.
Then, of course, the power of the coalition will weaken, and Britain’s chances of survival will increase.
In order for Britain to be eliminated, Korea must not touch other countries’ territories.
This would have been the ‘confidence’ that the coalition side could empty the camp.
‘I’ve prepared a really interesting strategy.’
I was lost in thought as I looked at the Russian representative with trembling eyes.
‘Then what should I do?’
My eyes lit up as I looked at the British team fighting in the distance and the Russian national team in front of me in turn.

area of the British team.
Kyle was in an embarrassing state right now.
‘I didn’t expect it to come out like this.’
I didn’t know that 17 people would attack the British team at the same time.
“Give up! Kyle Ventia!”
The Canadian representative grabbed Kyle from behind and shouted, casting magic.
At the same time, five magics flew towards Kyle from all directions.
The gust of wind that surrounded Kyle’s body blew even stronger.
A torrent of dense whirlpools.
All the magic that collided with that wind was annihilated, and scattered as polygons of mana.
The defense power of ‘Wind God’, which Kyle Ventia and the Green Mage Tower are proud of, is not at a level that can be pierced by 4th circle magic.
Originally, the moment he finished defending, he would have accelerated and knocked down the opponent through a counterattack.
okay.
if it was originally
“Reduce Kyle’s range of motion and shoot the magic! The moment we are careless, the wind sword will aim for our necks!”
But now was not the time to think of a counterattack.
Concentrated fire on 13 people.
Sue’s violence neutralized Kyle’s speed.
‘It’s fortunate that the four of us stuck with Maia and Nape… … .’
It’s the same with 13 or 17 people.
I don’t know what’s going on. They are the best prospects in the world, and they are the boulders who survived until the second round.
No matter how much Kyle was, there was no way he could deal with 13 such promising players at the same time.
‘If this continues, I will be defeated within 10 minutes.’
While concentrating on defense and evasion, he managed to hold on somehow.
This is 10 minutes at most.
With mental exhaustion, Kyle will be defeated.
‘What the hell is Shin Ha-yul doing? Why aren’t you moving yet?’
Kyle bit his lip nervously.
Either by bringing reinforcements or breaking the coalition by capturing the opponent’s territory.
Korea, which should have done one of the two, has not shown any movement so far.
‘Shinha rate. What the hell are you thinking?’
If this continues, it is self-evident that Korea will be the target of the alliance next.
It’s not that Shin Ha-yul doesn’t know that, so why isn’t he showing any action?
“If you are expecting support from Korea, wake up to your dreams.”
The Canadian representative twisted the corner of his mouth slightly and said.
“No matter how long we wait, Korean aid will not come.”
He continued to shoot magic and mock him.
Kyle’s eyes widened.
“What are you talking about?”
“Our union made a great proposal to Korea. A sweet offer you can’t refuse.”
“… … What suggestions?”
“curious?”
The Canadian representative’s smile deepened. It was the smile of a planner.
“If you’re that curious, you should tell me.”
What the Russian representative said to Shin Ha-yul came out of the mouth of the Canadian representative.
As the words continued, Kyle’s expression hardened.
“This is the situation. Therefore, the possibility that Korea will come to help you is 0%.”
“… … .”
“Korea will abandon you and go up to the third round alone to compete with the United States. It’s a pity. British representative.”
The corner of the Canadian representative’s mouth twisted even more.
“So I have a suggestion here.”
The Canadian representative’s smile deepened.
“I’ll be eliminated in 10 minutes anyway. How about retiring now?”
“… … .”
“If the UK gives up now, the time for Korea to concentrate its territory will be greatly reduced, right? Then it is impossible to focus on 50 areas. If so… … .”
“Can the coalition target South Korea?”
“yes!”
The Canadian representative smiled broadly.
“If that happens, the U.S. will win, but isn’t it better than Korea winning?”
Currently, Korea has already won two championships.
The US, on the other hand, has one.
From the standpoint of Britain aiming for the gold medal, it would be better for the United States to win than for Korea to win.
“If it were me, I would give up now even if it was unfair. You will lose anyway, shouldn’t you at least feed the Korea that betrayed you?”
The Canadian representative’s voice was crafty like a snake.
The offer itself is also quite reasonable.
From the UK’s point of view, he clearly saw through the psychology that he could not hand over the championship to Korea.
“think carefully. Kyle Ventia.”
“… … .”
No matter how much you prefer battle, the honor of your country and Olympiad results are important.
Kyle’s expression darkened.
‘It’s definitely right to do what that man says. Even if I die soon, I have to stop Korea from winning.’
Looking at Kyle’s increasingly complex face, the representative from Canada laughed inwardly.
‘good. It’s as planned.’
Make South Korea betray by making an offer they can’t refuse.
By informing Britain of Korea’s betrayal and Korea’s gains, it urged Britain to give up.
After that, take care of Korea leisurely.
This is the alliance’s strategy.
In the first place, the coalition sent only Korea, and had no intention of fighting for one spot.
‘I should be thankful for the insight of the Russian team, who focused on the blind spot that the British team’s hard work is essential for concentrating on 50 areas.’
Give all the credit to the Russian team. Of course, after eliminating these two strong teams, they are enemies.
“Kyle Ventia. Even while thinking so much right now, Korea… … .”
Looking at Kyle’s increasingly distorted expression, it was time for the Canadian representative to put a wedge into it.
“What is Korea?”
I heard a voice I shouldn’t have heard.
“If you thought Korea would be peacefully occupying empty territory now, you were wrong.”
Shin Ha-yul fell down next to Kyle Bentia. Then he spread his magic and blocked all the magic that flew towards Kyle.
“Korea is not a country that betrays trust and loyalty. We have been such a nation since birth.”
Shin Ha-yul smiled mischievously.
“Shin Ha-ryul… … .”
Kyle’s eyes widened.
It is a moving expression, saying, ‘To refuse that good offer and come to keep your loyalty!’
“How do you… … .”
“Oh, by the way, the Russian national team is doing their best to stop both of our teams. Please, I recommend sending support quickly. Otherwise, all of your realms will disappear.”
“… … what?”
The Canadian representative turned his head with a surprised expression.
The Russian national team is having a fierce battle with Ma Jin-seok and Kang Shin-woo.
No, I am completely overwhelmed.
In that state, the Russian national team will retire in less than a minute.
“We are going!”
“… … Please.”
The two remaining members of the Russian team moved to support the Russian team.
With this, only 11 people remain in this position.
“I didn’t know you would turn down that offer.”
Cold sweat broke out on the back of the Canadian representative.
“Well, it was a little bumpy. I thought a lot.”
A strategy that penetrates the ‘blind spot’ of people who say that their view narrows in front of gain.
not bad.
I even fainted for a moment.
“But it was a little clumsy. That kind of ploy doesn’t work for me.”
At least among the participants in this contest, no one can beat me in brain warfare.
“… … Right.”
The Canadian representative smiled bitterly.
“Then let’s end this boring brain war. Because the audience probably didn’t come all the way here to see that.”
Flames raged around Shin Ha-yul.
“2 vs 11. Let’s stick together properly.”
The flames rotated in sync with the gusts created by Kyle’s wind god.
Kyle’s eyes lit up at the scene.
“… … The more I look at you, the more attractive you seem.”
From the timing of his appearance, his lines, and his sense of matching his wind god and magic.
Shin Ha-yul’s actions were enough to ignite Kyle’s desire to fight.
“I’m sorry. I like women.”
Shin Ha-yul smiled, lowered his posture, and narrowed his eyes.
“It doesn’t mean that. I, after all, have a fiancee.”
Kyle also smiled and lowered his stance.
“I’m going crazy wanting to fight. I want to point my sword at you right now. It means that you are such an attractive opponent.”
“Then I’m glad. However, please restrain yourself for now. This is not the time to fight you.”
“know. I will endure it now.”
The corners of Kyle’s mouth twisted wildly like wild animals.
“ah. already looking forward to it When I clash swords with you in the third round.”
Kyle’s wind blew even harder. The wild storm seemed to prove his elation.
“Then it’s a short alliance. Please take good care of me.”
“I am.”
In the silence, only the sound of wind and flames resounded one after another.
and after a while
A mana storm raged in a small area of 100 meters in width and height.
* * *
―The 2nd round of 1 game is over! Territory competition, the teams that advanced to the 3rd round were Korea and England! As expected, these two teams make it to the finals!
After about 30 minutes of fighting, the second round of the first game ended.
Originally, it was only natural that the 1-hour game time had passed and ended in time over.
Korea and England won the match in 30 minutes, putting the other 6 teams out of action.
“Korea is cool!”
“Great Britain!”
“Wow!”
The audience all cheered at the overwhelming performance and majesty.
It was such a wonderful and great game.
There was a surge of heat in the audience seats.
“… … Sarah. what do you think about it?”
On the other hand, the atmosphere in the VIP room was extremely cold.
Dahlia and Sarah
Both are frowning with very serious expressions.
“For more details, you’ll have to look at the analysis results, but… … .”
Sara replied by sending the video data from the Mana Observation Camera, which filmed the match a while ago, to the analysis team in her home country.
“The last magic that Shin Ha-yul used was… … In my eyes, it looked like 6th circle magic.”
