Group Showdown
According to the draw results, the boys' group proposed by Kevin was the first to face the girls' group. Because "boys are always physically stronger than girls", the girls' life points were not halved, but remained the same.
Before the simulation training began, the two teams discussed their strategies for the upcoming training session.
"Our strength in close combat is Kosma, so you'll be in charge of holding off Hua in the front Kosma. Kevin, you're good at both close and long-range combat, just like me, so you'll hold off Sakura, and I'll hold off Elysia. As for Pardo, she's more like a guerrilla fighter; after this training, she's not to be underestimated," Zhu Yufeng said. "But we're really short-handed, so... once the battle starts, the three of us shouldn't be too far apart, and we should try to support each other in time."
"If we're talking about opponents, I think I'm better at dealing with Elysia," Kevin said.
Zhu Yufeng squinted at Kevin. "Do you know what you're saying? I'm here to protect you! If you had the Fusion Warrior surgery, it wouldn't be a problem, but the Present you're just a Fire Moth, about the same level as me. What are you going to use to fight Elysia? And are you sure Elysia won't just kill you?"
However, Kevin was right. Zhu Yufeng basically had no experience fighting Elysia, but that didn't stop him from having seen it.
At the same time, as rivals... Zhu Yufeng and Kevin had quite a few dealings. To be precise, Zhu Yufeng and Kevin had fought many times in the previous life. However, Kevin's progress was much faster than everyone else's, which led to Kevin later taking on all the Fallen Angel angels in one-on-one with the Heavenfire.
Later, Zhu Yufeng obtained the right to use the Black Abyss White Flower and joined forces with Lilith to defeat Kevin for the first time.
Elysia has fought Kevin a few times, but Elysia always admits defeat. By the way, Kevin is too rough with girls and not gentlemanly at all.
In reality, it was obvious to everyone that Elysia wasn't fighting seriously, but because Kevin's record was so outstanding, Kevin was ultimately classified as stronger than Elysia.
As for who is stronger between Kevin and Elysia, Zhu Yufeng doesn't know. After all, the last time these two fought was at the "The Final Banquet," where Kevin described being beaten up. This time, Elysia might be serious, but Kevin isn't.
But since Kevin has decided to do this, let him be. A beating is fine too; at least it will make this CP leader behave.
However, there was one thing he found strange: why was Kevin so concerned about his relationship with Lilith?
"Whatever you say." Zhu Yufeng began to think about how to deal with Ying. As for that matter, he would ask Kevin about it later.
The Fire Moth has a dedicated arena for team battles, which even has holographic projections to simulate various environments. However, reservations are required for convenient use.
I was lucky today; my application was approved as soon as I applied. In other words, there were fewer people practicing group matches today.
How big is the Fire Moth's base? It is essentially a super-large military base with more than 300,000 permanent personnel, including Fire Moth soldiers, researchers, leaders and management, as well as the families of soldiers and researchers.
It's basically a small town.
After that, the Fire Moth's base received more and more funding as the damage caused by the Honkai became more and more serious, and the infighting among the higher-ups also became more and more intense.
Zhu Yufeng silently calculated the time in his mind. He figured he would find a way to bring Lilith into the Fire Moth around the time of the Fourth Herrscher incident, and then wipe out "Arc Moon" to bring Xila back for the next step of the plan.
Simulated team combat training begins; the venue requested can simulate the city at dusk.
"So why isn't it daytime?" Kosma asked, looking at the simulated night sky on the ceiling.
"You should be glad Elysia didn't choose Rainy Night," Zhu Yufeng said. "It seems Elysia is going to maximize her team's strengths, while we..."
"Rainy nights? I know there are simulations like this, but I've never tried it," Kosma said.
"As Fallen Angel Squad that frequently fights Honkai Beast Angel Squad has naturally trained in simulations of all sorts of situations." Zhu Yufeng looked at Kevin with some curiosity, "Didn't you guys have any training?"
Kevin paused for a moment, then said, "The Fallen Angel Squad can almost be considered the most elite squad of the Fire Moth, a team that excels in investigation, analysis, and overcoming difficulties. The training you undergo is not the same as ours. At least, some of the simulations were specifically designed for you. Didn't you know?"
Zhu Yufeng: "..."
He really didn't know... He was always wondering why, when he led the training, Lilith always chose either raging mountains and seas of fire or freezing cold.
So Lilith was already thinking about training in this direction back then?
The training ground for the group matches was said to be a twilight area, but the actual size of the ground was not that big; it was about the size of two and a half football fields.
After all, it's too big; if there are too few people, everyone will have trouble finding each other.
Both sides entered the training ground from their respective entrances. One of the more troublesome aspects of the twilight was the changing light and shadow, and unfortunately, Elysia's side had an assassin and a guerrilla soldier.
Zhu Yufeng, on the other hand, has always served as the main attacker in all three of his previous missions or training sessions.
However, if Elysia makes this arrangement...
"Let's launch a direct frontal attack and take down Hua first," Zhu Yufeng said. On Elysia's side, she, Pardo, and Sakura are all mobile personnel, and only Hua is suitable for a frontal assault. Although Sakura can also launch a frontal assault, she wouldn't be able to utilize her strengths if she did so. Therefore, for Zhu Yufeng and his team, the solution to break the deadlock depends entirely on whether they can overcome all obstacles with sheer force.
If that's the case, wouldn't it be the same to send him to Elysia's side or to Hua and Kevin's side?
If it were Disaster, that would be great, since she's also a mobile crew member.
On the other side.
After demonstrating the treatment process, Mobius Disaster said, "Yu Feng that you came here because you were angry with Kosma?"
"I...I just can't accept it, I can't accept that kind of achievement can only be made by sacrificing others," Disaster said.
Mobius glanced at her, then lowered his head to organize the collected data, saying, "What can't you accept? The conventional methods for treating the Present Honkai Energy Corrosion are completely ineffective. If we follow my method, the success rate is still unknown, but it will definitely be higher than the existing methods."
"Then... what method is it?" Disaster asked.
Mobius smiled slightly, "The principle is very simple: it's about enabling humanity to progress. But progress is always accompanied by elimination. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Is there... really no other way?"
"There are no perfect things in this world. If you join the Fire Moth, you must learn to abandon your past naiveté. On the road to fighting the Honkai, there is no room for your the Present naiveté."
