The Lobbyist
"Montsbarton has its eye on Old Luo and Old Zuo!"
No rush!
"Mount Montesbottom has no say in what kind of opponents Old Luo and Old Zuo will face!"
"Montsbotton can put up a tough fight for many games!"
"Mountsbotton has pulled the steel mill in; he's going for a winning streak!"
"Damn it, without Zhou Xin to wage a war of attrition, who can withstand their attacks like this!"
Without Zhou Xin to oversee the overall situation, the Aomeijia Alliance began to repeat the tactics Zhou Xin had used in many battles.
The difference is that Zhou Xin relied on personal combat to wear down his opponents from other countries as much as possible, while Montes Barton sought the assistance of Montes Steel, aiming to quickly defeat his opponents.
No sooner had Zhang Xuezhou mocked Changkong Luo for seeking help than Montespatton made the same arrangement, which was quite in line with Zhang Xuezhou Xuezhou's past perception of Montespatton.
The emergence of this top-tier combination, capable of both offense and defense, has caused quite a stir.
Without Zhou Xin, many people did not expect that this number one player in the world would also put aside his pride and start pursuing a winning streak.
The combination of Emonts Steel's formidable defensive capabilities and Montes Barton's powerful strikes is enough to sweep away most opponents; some contenders can't even wear down their opponents' stamina.
Regardless of how other countries schedule the matches, this game will inevitably clash with the Montesstorton duo.
If Montesbatton goes all out in the tiebreakers, anyone wanting to compete in the second and third innings will have little chance.
If luck is bad, even a major power can be eliminated in the first round.
The Scarlet Alliance State was filled with hushed discussions, while the British Alliance State stood solemnly awaiting Nagos's command. The Thousand Islands Alliance, on the other hand, had already turned their attention to the various smaller competing nations, no longer considering trying to squeeze in.
"Come on, stop with the formalities, let's get started!"
In the center of the arena, Montespatton stretched out his hand, pointing to the seat of the Scarlet Alliance State.
"Let's go first!"
"No, Zuo Lianguang and I will go first. Let's have a head-on fight and see if an opportunity arises!"
Changkong Yinghao and Changkong Kong Yinglian were the first to stand up, but Changkong Luo persuaded them to go back.
But Changkong Luo couldn't help but glance at Li Yingbo as well.
The Aomeijia Alliance started by throwing down their trump card, and the combination of him and Zuo Lianguang will undoubtedly be used as consumables, but there is no answer as to what extent Changkong Luo should be used as a consumable.
"Steel is a bit slow, so we can focus on attacking Barton and try to get him out of the game in three to five innings!"
International disputes are not about life and death; few people will stand firm after being injured or wounded. If Montesbatton is hit and injured, Montesbatton will most likely be eliminated.
Li Yingbo glanced at the communicator and then made a hand gesture, which made Changkong Luo's heart sink slightly.
"Old Zuo, forget about Steel, let's keep an eye on that old bastard Patton!"
Changkong Luo whispered something, which caused Zuo Lianguang's expression to change slightly.
The leap between the Sixth Sequence and Eighth Sequence is too great, involving completely different levels of offensive, defensive, and speed abilities. If one's body is not resilient, even just holding on will be difficult.
"Does that matter still count?" Zuo Lianguang asked nervously in a low voice.
"I don't know if it counts, but Wang Haoran is healthy and has even entered the Sixth Sequence," Changkong Luo said, frowning.
"Fine, I'll just have to recover. As long as I can heal, that's all that matters!"
Zuo Lianguang pursed his lips.
Their willingness to help out on the field is one thing, but how much effort they put in is another.
It's extremely difficult to get them to participate and contribute.
Changkong Luo and the others didn't have many options. With Ren Yisheng and others repeatedly vouching for them, the group of elderly people had no choice but to bite the bullet and try.
For the elderly, betting usually involves going all in; if they win, they win everything; if they lose, they turn off the lights and eat noodles.
This is almost a life-or-death situation, with no middle ground.
After a brief exchange, the two slowly walked into the center of the field.
Having been singled out by Montespatton, Changkong Luo and Zuo Lianguang didn't hold back and let others take the lead; instead, they chose to fight directly.
"He's gone mad! Changkong Luo is using him like Zhou Xin!"
Contracts were being drawn up on the field, and the competition would begin shortly afterward. This made Nagos, with a solemn expression, mutter to himself, feeling that the Scarlet Alliance State's arrangements were utterly terrible.
"So, Lineage Nags, how about joining forces with Pasteur to put pressure on Barton?"
As Naggus whispered, a thin, middle-aged or elderly man approached.
"Who are you?" Naggus asked suspiciously.
"Ren Yisheng, a lobbyist!"
The middle-aged or elderly man pointed to himself and briefly introduced himself.
The identity was so simple that it couldn't be explained further, and it directly revealed the purpose of the visit.
Apart from logistics personnel, no one who can enter Alliance Island is mediocre, and those who can act as lobbyists must belong to the higher-ups.
However, Naggs really didn't have much of an impression of Ren Yisheng.
How do I put pressure on Patton?
Naggs glanced at Changkong Luo and Zuo Lianguang, who were rushing towards Montesbatton, then turned his gaze back to Ren Yisheng.
Nags was familiar with Changkong Luo and Zuo Lianguang, and knew their abilities. He was certain that the two were doomed to defeat.
"Our team consists of fifteen people. If you agree to cooperate, we will send five groups to pressure Barton at any cost. You will then take over the rest of the operation!"
"Regardless of the cost, how much reckless?"
"You'll see when you see it!"
Ren Yisheng pointed to the center of the field.
Changkong Luo and Zuo Lianguang were indeed fighting Montesbatton head-on, with Changkong Luo charging back and forth like a whirlwind, while Zuo Lianguang would occasionally leap into the air, swooping down on Montesbatton like an eagle, seeking an opportunity to strike.
The two attacked without any regard for Steel Hair, who was protecting Montesbatton. Even if they had to take two heavy punches from Steel Hair, they would still rush towards Montesbatton.
The fight started quickly and escalated rapidly.
In just twenty seconds, Changkong Luo had already taken eight blows, Zuo Lianguang had taken three, and Montespatton had been hit twice by heavy blows.
In sparring, if someone's body isn't the type to withstand a beating, one or two hits are enough to knock them out.
The battle in the center of the arena continues.
Nagos narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You seem to have a strong desire to win this battle," Naggs asked.
"The strong will always get stronger, and the Nags Lineage is probably not happy with the current mode of conflict," Ren Yisheng said. "Only by changing the model where international conflicts only involve the top Sequence Holder can we avoid being hurt and have a chance to benefit!"
"Oh?"
"The number of high- Sequence Holder in the British Alliance State is limited. Every one we remove is one less. Why not seek downward compatibility, thus using space to buy time for the number of Sequence Holder to grow?" Ren Yisheng said in a low voice.
"That makes some sense, but..."
"No one can guarantee that their country has an absolute advantage in sequencers, First Sequence, Second Sequence, Third Sequence, Fourth Sequence, Fifth Sequence," Ren Yisheng said. "If Lineage believes that our Scarlet Alliance State has outstanding talents at a certain sequence level, the competition at these sequence levels can be increased to include more matches. Each sequence stage can be divided into upper, middle, and lower rounds. Even if someone wins one match, there are always two more chances for a comeback!"
"I think your suggestion is alright, but Omega..."
"Let's join forces and crush Patton at any cost, leaving them with nothing in this international conflict!"
Ren Yisheng whispered.
Almost everything changed as expected. The Aomeijia Alliance wanted the Scarlet Alliance State to be eliminated in the first round, so they targeted them in the first ten rounds.
But the Heaven and Earth is still undecided, and it's uncertain who will be eliminated.
"I agree!"
In the center of the arena, Zuo Lianguang stood with a look of shock, anger, and fear. His hands had been twisted into pretzels by Montespatton, and the cracking sound of his bones almost shook the hearts of many.
Montespatton's face was filled with anger.
He touched the cut on his forehead, looked at the blood on his fingertips, and then slammed his head forward.
Although they appeared to be several meters apart, Montespatton's head rammed into Zuo Lianguang's body as if it had directly impacted him.
A cracking sound came from Zuo Lianguang's chest, and his face contorted in pain.
When Montess grabbed him into his hand, Zuo Lianguang's face turned ashen.
Moo!
A roar came from Changkong Luo's throat.
This sound wasn't simply loud; it was filled with a deep, muffled murmur.
At a distance of nearly two hundred meters, Nags felt a ringing in his ears, as if he had been slapped twice, causing the echoing sound to vibrate back and forth in his ears.
If this is the case for people so far apart, it goes without saying that it's even more true for those who are close by.
Upon hearing the sound, Montes Steel, who was on guard duty, covered his ears with both hands and then rolled on the ground uncontrollably.
Zuo Lianguang rolled his eyes without saying a word and fell to the ground. Montespatton's expression changed drastically, and a blue light emanated from his body.
Even so, his body swayed uncontrollably, like a banana tree battered by a typhoon.
It wasn't until he kicked out, Changkong Luo the roaring creature several meters away flying, and the shockwave subsided, that Montespatton regained his balance, his body swaying and dissipating the force of the impact.
He touched his ear and then his nose, and saw blood seeping from both areas.
This made Montesbarton look a little embarrassed. He was about to chase after Changkong Luo, who was rolling on the ground clutching his stomach, when he saw the black card of surrender raised high on the Scarlet Alliance State seat.
"I agree, we can cooperate!"
Seeing that Montesbatton had suffered a setback in the first inning, Naggs quickly nodded and reiterated the point.
The first round of the Scarlet Alliance State was a model example; whenever the British Alliance State cooperated, the opposing side would send ten people to fight to the death.
This is undoubtedly a desperate gamble, and it will most likely force the Scarlet Alliance State to lay off ten top experts, and even Seventh Sequence expert like Changkong Luo will not be spared.
Nagos's expression changed slightly.
Even if it weren't just to eliminate Montesbatton, he felt it would all be worth it to severely injure ten experts from the Scarlet Alliance State.
