Chapter 269 - Retreat
Chapter 269: Retreat
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Abstain.
Someone abstained!
Caesar stood quietly on the huge platform that was built on a football field.
His opponent made the decision to abstain immediately when he found out that he was going to play against Caesar.
The girls in the audience screamed in excitement. Compared to Golden Lion Pat, who defeated his opponent with his strength, Caesar did not even show his strength. He merely stood there and won without even fighting.
Caesar, just like his nickname, “the Great Emperor”, made people surrender the moment they heard his name.
“Caesar! Caesar! Caesar! Caesar...”
Under the sky in the competition venue, the rhythmic screams broke through the clouds. With this uproar, Caesar looked like an emperor.
Xue Tian crossed his legs and said, “Seriously? The fighting competition just started and everyone is already showing their strengths? I wonder if anyone wants to keep a low profile? Isn’t it better to hide your strength to win the competition?”
“It’s Lin Ling’s turn,” said Qin Fen. Xue Tian immediately stopped complaining and paid attention to Lin Ling, who was walking into the venue.
She was one of the few female soldiers in this fighting competition. With her perfect figure, the attention she gained was no less than Caesar’s.
The crowd who was still screaming became quiet for a while, but there were still many male audiences whistling excitedly.
Lin Ling, as usual, was unconcerned with all these cheers.
Her opponent, a European recruit, nodded his head gently. “Beautiful lady, can I have the honor to treat you to a drink after this battle?”
The venue was surrounded by microphones. His words were heard by everyone, which made a racket again.
With the great unity, European men have the former British gentlemanly demeanor, as well as the former French romance.
A man who had the advantages of various ethnicities was full of charisma when it came to attracting the opposite sex.
“No.” Lin Ling rejected firmly. Everyone was stunned.
“Why?”
The European recruit was a bit puzzled. It was not the first time he received a rejection, but it was usually a very polite refusal. This was the first time he encountered such a straightforward refusal.
“You are going to be hospitalized, so you can’t drink alcohol.”
Lin Ling’s expression was as usual. However, in the eyes of others, it came off as another: arrogance, a shivering cold arrogance.
“I will be injured......?”
The European recruit smiled in disbelief. The bell rang at this moment.
Lin Ling’s shadow disappeared on the spot. It felt as if there was a huge firecracker under the concrete floor. Several small pieces of concretes flew with the sound of the explosion.
The European recruit’s pupils contracted. The body reacted in a speed that the brain had yet to catch up. He bent like a frightened monkey and jumped backward.
Boom!
Lin Ling kicked the European recruit’s belly. The strong force caused him to fly out like a lump of shrimps.
Lin Ling’s speed was too fast. Many people were not able to see clearly — they did not know whether the European recruit took the initiative or if it was Lin Ling’s kick that made him bend over.
The recruit fell two feet away and rolled on the ground several times. He curled himself on the ground and spat yellow liquid.
The playful whistles and the cheers stopped at this moment.
No one would ever thought that Lin Ling could cause her opponent to become hospitalized in the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint. That was right. Although there were no broken bones, the internal injury was inevitable.
Yang Lie and Caesar looked at the stadium quietly. Their eyes suddenly lit up. This woman’s energy?
Qin Fen’s eyebrows frowned subconsciously. This woman is still so strong, and her attack is still unnoticeable as before. No one is able to predict her star-class strength. It is even more difficult to predict when and how she will attack.
“An amazing and beautiful woman.” Zeus stared at Lin Ling, who was walking down the stage. “I couldn’t predict her attack just now. No! It should be said that I didn’t even predict the time she would start the attack.”
Yang Lie nodded his head solemnly. This woman may be more dangerous than Qin Fen! She did not hide her attack intentionally just now, her attack was truly invisible.
“Yang Lie.” Brooks, who was wearing a military cap, woke up from his sleep, “Is that woman in the first semi-final? Are you able to win and join me in the final? My last opponent wouldn’t be this woman right?”
“Brooks.” Yang Lie leaned his back on the seat, “You should worry about yourself. The roaring Xue Tian is also in the second semi-final. It is also not easy to deal with Caesar.”
“Wow, General Zhao. It seems that Qin Fen was not only the ace for East Asia this time.”
In the huge VIP room, Major General Will of the American Military Region looked at Zhao Huzi with a strange look.
The generals from West Asia, Africa, and Europe also looked at Zhao Huzi with amazement. They did not expect that Du Zhanpeng’s accidental death to not affect the strength of the East Asian recruits.
“General Will.” Zhao Huzi imitated Will’s elegance, “I’m sure you have three insurances too, right?”
“Haha...” Will raised his wine glass and smiled calmly, “I thought that the European military region would be the most threatening to our American military region as usual. I didn’t expect...haha...”
General Okosa from Europe had a slight anger in his eyes, but he calmed himself down in just two deep breaths.
Okosa slowly evoked a proud smile and gently shook the red wine in his glass, “General Will, you are right. I have always believed that our aerial combat team and mobile armor troops can defeat the American Military Region in this competition. Even though our two teams are no longer able to compete, I am still convinced.”
Wilhelgen gently twitched his ears. He was about to laugh. He quickly drank the red wine in his hand to prevent laughing.
“Our team in the European military region is defeated this time.” Okosa’s voice was calm. He said without resentment and unwillingness, “I can speak with my military’s glory that no matter who won this recruit’s aerial combat or mobile armor competition. Be it America or Africa or West Asia, none of you deserve it!”
The hands of the generals from the three major military regions stiffened. Okosa continued to say, “The champion for these two competitions is an unqualified recruit called Qin Fen. So, you don’t have to taunt our European military region. Because when you meet Qin Fen, you will also be defeated. Of course, you can say that he is not qualified for the competition.”
“Ha...ha...” Will sneered, the wine in the glass shook faster.
The two generals from West Asia and Africa silently watched the red wine in their wine glasses.
Will stopped shaking his wine glass. He stared at Okosa admirably. It was unexpected to hear someone say that their skills were not as good as other people.
The two generals from West Asia and Africa put down their wine glasses.
The aerial combat team and mobile armor troops from the European military region withdrew from the competition. Everyone had learned the inside story from different channels.
Will gave a long sigh and looked at Okosa admirably. The fact that this general from Europe admitted it so calmly gave a problem to all the generals from other military regions.
Of course, they could continue the competition by avoiding a fight with Qin Fen and decide the champion for the aerial combat and mobile armor competition.
But then, they would be a joke to Okosa. At that time, Okosa could proudly say that only their European soldiers were not afraid of Qin Fen. Other soldiers from other military regions did not even have the courage to face Qin Fen.
The recruit competition didn’t only serve the purpose of learning and exchanging skills, but also to fight for the glory of the military.
Avoiding war? That would be too shameful. There wouldn’t be any glory even if they won the championship for a competition. They would only leave the impression that they won because they avoided war.
The general from West Asian and African Military Region, looked at Will with anger. They were forced to challenge Qin Fen privately because of the ridiculous words from this European Military Region.
Will looked up and drank all the red wine in his wine glass. He breathed out a sullen smile and shook his head. No one could imagine the European military region, who had always maintained their reputation, would be so frank in admitting that they were less skillful.
“Since General Okosa said this, then...” Will clenched his fists and looked at Zhao Huzi, who had never spoken. “General Zhao, I wonder if your recruit Qin Fen, is free tonight?”
“Oh?” Zhao Huzi smiled and looked at Will, “What? General Will, don’t tell me you want to...?”
“Haha...” Will poured himself another glass of red wine, “The recruit competition serves to promote everyone’s progress between the military regions. Since General Okosa gave such high appraisal to this recruit from East Asia, our American military region would also like to exchange skills.”
“Of course. That would be great.” Zhao Huzi placed his wine glass somewhere, “I am not sure what would General Will want to exchange first?”
“What about...” Will put the wine glass near his lips and smiled, “Mobile armor?”
