Chapter 294 - Main Team Loses at the Star (2/2)

After the draw, all the contestants donned their armor.

Roland and the others followed the main team to the fourth arena.

Soon, the opponents of the main team also came, and when they saw the national emblem on their opponents’ s.h.i.+elds, they sighed inwardly due to their bad luck.

Their opponents were Russians, and it was their country that first organized and popularized full-armor combat. They were a traditionally strong team that often took first place.

Although the main team felt unlucky, they were not discouraged, and after encouraging each other and shouting aloud, they got past the fence and walked to the contestant preparation area and stayed there.

At this moment, Roland and the others saw a pretty good-looking girl not far away from them. She held a smartphone pointed at herself, and said in a rather pleasant voice, “Look, everyone, I’m now at the Chinese team’s section, the players are all ready, and their opponent is… There’s no mistaking that this flag should be Russia’s.”

As she spoke, she angled her phone’s camera to capture the players of the main team inside the arena, as well as the Russian players.

Because of the full-body armor, there was only a slit in the helmet, so naturally, the players’ faces and expressions couldn’t be seen.

“Physically, we Chinese players seem to be a little shorter, so that’s a bit of a disadvantage, I guess.”

The girl spoke in an uncertain tone.

“Seems like a popular streamer,” Roland said softly.

“I’ll go ask what the platform is called, and what her name is,” Schuck said.

Then he walked over.

Although Schuck’s appearance was completely covered by his helmet, his voice was quite attractive and pleasant, and he managed to get the girl’s attention as soon as he struck up a conversation.

Half a minute later, Schuck walked back and said, “A streamer from Mouya, the stream room number is 2255441.

Roland shrugged. “The problem is we can’t look at our phones right now.”

They were wearing full-body armor and also had iron handguards on them, so there was no way they could mess with touchscreen phones.

At this moment, Qi Shaoqiu said, “I have it installed, I’ll open it to show you.”

Because they were subst.i.tutes, neither Qi Shaoqiu nor Husseret were wearing full-body armor.

Soon, the Mouya app opened, and the sweet voice of the female streamer came out. IT seemed to sound a little better than her live voice. “The referee is coming over, and it looks like it’s about to start, do you guys think the Chinese main team has a good chance of winning?”

The female streamer had quite a few followers, almost a million followers, and when she spoke, densely packed bullet-screen comments flew across the screen.

“I think it’s unlikely. In cold weapons combat, the physique is a very important factor.”

“In full-armor combat, the Russians have always been very strong. Our national team has too few partic.i.p.ants and lacks experience, such bad luck to encounter the popular boss team right at the start.”

“I guess it’ll be a single-match trip, how embarra.s.sing that this tournament is still being held in our country.”

“To be able to cut down two of the opposite side would be considered an exceeding performance.”

In short, the netizens were generally not optimistic.

Soon, the match started.

As predicted by the netizens, the first team was no match for the Russians, and they lost two in a row out of three matches.

But the main team did their best, and even when their s.h.i.+elds and weapons were knocked off, they attempted to grapple their opponents and try to make them fall… but the other team was strong and fit, and instead, they were hit by s.h.i.+elds, slashed by swords a dozen times, knocked on the helmet, and shocked to the point of extreme pain. When they couldn’t take it anymore, they fell to the ground, barely conscious.

Most of the nation watched the national team’s match, and when the main team was beaten, it looked so bad that many girls screamed and even begged, “Stop fighting, just admit defeat, there’s no shame.”

There were many comments of that sort.

The livestream had a similar atmosphere.

The first team did try their best.

The female streamer sighed. “The main team lost, but we still have the second team, so maybe a miracle will happen.”

With that, the female streamer pointed her phone at Roland and the others.

Roland and the others were watching the livestream with relish. When suddenly a few of them appeared in the livestream, their expressions became strange.
