297 Entering Top Eigh (2/2)

At this time, players from both sides took to the field.

The Russian players were tall and sturdy, every one of them one meter eighty or one meter ninety, making Roland's side seem even more delicate.

Especially Raffel, who was only a little over one meter sixty… making him almost seem like a dwarf in contrast.

The spectators around the room sighed in unison at the difference.

The vast majority of people thought it was a lost cause.

But the results were unexpected.

The battle was still over in under a minute.

Previously Roland and the others were all fighting individually, one versus one, but this time they started working together straight away.

Three miaodaos struck almost simultaneously at the Russian players on the front of the line.

This team of Russian players was very cautious; they were prepared to defend themselves from three meters away.

However, it was still useless.

Roland acted the fastest because Lin Zhaotong had told them before the match that they would have to do their best when they met the Russian teams.

So he did his best.

The miaodao in his hand seemed to cut through something again, and then it hit the opponent's small shield with a strange whistling sound.

The Russian player blocked it. It was a strong team, after all, so this reaction speed was to be expected.

But after the clang, he felt as if his shield had been struck by a giant, toothed club, and the strange force shocked his left hand and turned it numb. He almost couldn't hold onto the shield, which was thrown backward all of a sudden.

Then the other two miaodaos cut on his helmet.

Duang-duang. The Russian player was dizzy from the shock and blanked out.

Li Lin then quickly rushed up and the two of them slammed into this Russian player with their shields, toppling him over.

The whole process actually lasted only five seconds.

Li Lin, Brazil, and Raffel then immediately surrounded two people, while Roland and Schuck held the other two back.

They split up the battlefield.

Instead of rushing to knock down their enemies, Roland and Schuck used the range of the miadao to hold them back, slowly retreating as they fought and kicked the opposing players back a few steps out of the blue.

After holding them back for about ten seconds, Li Lin and the other two had put down the two Russian players they had surrounded, and then immediately surrounded the last two enemy players.

After a lot of smacking and banging, the two remaining Russians also fell to the ground and admitted defeat.

The whole process was so quick that the onlookers' perception was that the second team did some dodging, each of them striking a few times, and then the other team went down.

When the referee announced that the second team had won, the crowd, who was still a bit unresponsive, cheered deafeningly.

There was also a flurry of adulations in the livestream.

The female streamer froze and said, ”So impressive.”

The sight of someone with a much smaller body knocking down enemies cleanly and with great speed gave people a strong contrast impact.

The streamer was a woman, after all. She took a deep breath and said, ”Our second team took advantage of their speed advantage and took the opponent by surprise, but this is a best of three. The opponent should carry out defensive measures in the next match, so the second team should not be complacent. They must play steadily.”

The second match soon started.

This time, it was a 2-3 formation, no longer the previous spearhead formation.

But it was still useless.

Three miaodao knocked one into a daze, two shield warriors rammed into and knocked the opponent down, and then the battlefield was split again.

There was no way for the other side to defend themselves.

The second match even took a few seconds less than the first.

Roland and the others of the second team directly advanced to the top eight.
