Chapter 1201: Advance or Retreat

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The SIG has already entered its most fervent stage. The Saruman Snake battle team and the Soulless battle team would be battling in three days’ time.

The regular venue had been almost destroyed to bits, and Aslan’s staff were stepping up on repairs. At the same time, the protective energy walls also needed to be repaired. It could only be said that these peoples’ fighting strengths were terrifying.

The Soulless battle team was calm and collected, and Aragorn was the same as well. The outside world had differing opinions, but they were not of Arbiter’s concerns.

“Captain, the Van family’s rank has dropped by thirty-eight seats and our support rate has also increased. If we can successfully clinch the championship, we should be able to hold an invincible position.”

Aragorn nodded his head. There were conflicts externally as well as internally. Aragorn’s Borah family and the Van family had been competing for many years. Previously, it had always been to the Van family’s advantage, and it was only in recent years that the Borah family had grown in grandeur. Incidentally, it had been SIG that dealt the Van family a heavy blow.

The Van brothers were definitely well known figures amongst the younger generation and were very “internationalized”. However, they had both succeeded and failed as well. Their continuous defeats in international competitions had caused Arbiter, originally an extreme nation, to be incredibly dissatisfied. Such emotions exploded through when the Asura battle team suffered a terrible defeat.

This was the Borah family’s chance. They had suffered patiently for so many years, waiting for an opportunity for a fatal attack.

“Captain, I have gathered some intel recently. That guy named Wang Zheng seems to have something going on with Princess Aina. With regards to this, Aslan seems unreliable.”

Aragorn coldly laughed. “Whether it is me, Jondi Lilick, or the people of Aslan, or even that Wang Zheng, we are all just pawns. Kashawen never had plans to marry the Princess off from the start. Can you not see it is clearly based on the Sword Shield Rose battle team’s performance.”

“Haha, they are not our match. But do we have to expose ourselves in just one battle with Saruman Snake?

Aragorn was silent for a moment. “In the entire SIG, only this Wang Zheng could be my match, so we cannot be careless. As for Kashawen, not everything will go as she pleases. Word has already spread that if we win, I will propose to Aina. Whether she agrees to it or not, I would still stand to gain. And of course, Wang Zheng has to die.”

The Arbiters would definitely not allow such rumours to spread, and Aragorn was also not blind. If he were to become Princess Aina’s man, all the more Wang Zheng must die. Aragorn did not have the bad habit that Mars and his brother had: treating each other like brothers. This was a world where the strong feed on the weak. He had a greater ambition and he also lacked a woman. Princess Aina was the crown pearl, and she would, of course, suit him.

Using full force to pressure the Saruman Snake and kill Wang Zheng in front of Aina was how an Arbiter man would prove himself. As for whether Aina liked it or not, he couldn’t care less. Women were meant to be owned and enjoyed.

The Soulless battle team’s members all laughed. This was expected. This was the Arbiters’ methods.

The Saruman Snake battle team would not be able to block the Soulless battle team at full force, and the next step would be to destroy the people of Atlantis. Although that battle would be harder, it was not a problem for the Arbiters.

On Wang Zheng’s side, they were also proactively preparing. Saruman Snake did not have much chance of winning, neither did they have a card up their sleeves. Wang Zheng also did not have many advantages. Based on the strength Aragorn had displayed, the odds of Wang Zheng winning were fifty-fifty. It would be even harder to gauge for the other positions.

At this moment, the Saruman Snake battle team had a special visitor. It was actually Mars.

After his devastating defeat, Mars had been living a secluded life. Although his body had not fully recovered after treatment, it did not affect his viewing of the following matches. His complexion still looked pale; no matter how resolute he was, that defeat had inflicted serious damage on him. However, it seemed that he was still holding on. The Arbiters’ tenacity definitely lived up to their reputation.

“You’ve witnessed a laughable situation.” The two had exchanged a few greetings, and it could be that he had felt it in Wang Zheng’s gaze, so Mars calmly said that.

Wang Zheng slightly shook his head. “It is only in adversity that one’s real depth can be seen.”

Mars bitterly smiled, “A failure is a failure. The Arbiters have always decided a hero based on his results. Luo Fei is definitely strong, I do not feel wronged about losing.”

“You were largely caught off guard. Had you been prepared, he may not have won,” Wang Zheng stated. Mars, having been under the limelight, had already been thoroughly researched by people.

“Let’s not talk about this. I’m here this time to let you know that for the next match, if possible, please give it up,” Mars said.

Wang Zheng was slightly stunned, then he laughed. ” This is not like you. Why have you become the other party’s mouthpiece? You know that I will definitely win.”

Mars faintly sighed. “From the bottom of my heart, I do hope that you can win, but the possibility is close to zero. Aragorn has already reached Earth-rank level three, and because of Aina, he will definitely kill you during the match, based on his personality. The rules will not be able to protect you.”

Wang Zheng smiled. “Why do I feel like you are not here to convince me to give up, but are hoping that I win?”

A hint of smile revealed on Mars’ pale face. “Haha, you’ve seen through me. Then I shall speak openly. I hope that you win. If the Soulless battle team successfully enters the finals, our family’s situation will become even more difficult. You might be wondering why I, a person from Arbiter, would be colluding with outsiders though.”

Wang Zheng did not speak. This was also what he was wondering about as it was not the typical stance of people from Arbiter.

“Arbiter internally is not as peaceful as it seems. Our Van family took initiative to strengthen our attitude towards global cooperation, to cooperate more with the Milky Way Alliance, while the Borah family advocated strongly for aggressive political strategies, having mobilized battles for greater benefits to contend against Aslan. Our loss here has shaken our family’s position. If Aragorn continues forth, Arbiter will be likely be under the Borah family’s political influence,” Mars said.

When Mars and his brother came to Elite Academy X, they showed their stance by interacting with other countries, whilst what Aragorn represented was the aggressive extremist idea of a militarist state, upgrading himself by starting battles. It may be just a small area conflict at the start, but if it escalated?

Wang Zheng wrinkled his brows. He could not care for so much, but at least his goal and Mars’ were the same.

“What I mentioned at the start was not just some hearsay. I have witnessed your capabilities, but with Aragorn, I’m afraid that you will be evenly matched. His physical techniques may not be as good as yours, but his Ability X is above yours by a level. Most importantly, this time round, the Soulless battle team will be bringing in four Earth-rank warriors.”

When Mars finished his words, Wang Zheng was completely stunned.

“It is not just the Soulless battle team, the Sword Shield Rose battle team as well. Actually, it was just a vying game between Aslan and Arbiter from the start.”

Mars laughed bitterly. It was a pity that he could not represent Arbiter, and could only be this battle’s supporting role. This meant that within Arbiter, the Borah faction had already gained the upper hand. From Mars’ view, this would drag Arbiter into a spiral of war. There was no wrong in chasing after great ambitions, but war was not something that every country could stand, especially since such extremist thoughts could bring about world wars. Of course, from a smaller perspective, when the Borah family took control, they would either concede or be cleaned off, with the latter having a greater possibility. At the very least, they would not be a radical group anymore.

Wang Zheng’s brows tightened. This was not good news. He had expected for the opponent to have one or two Earth-rank warriors. If that were the case, the current Saruman Snake battle team would have the capabilities to contend against them, but he never expected that they would be all Earth-rank warriors. This completely messed up their pre-match deployment plan.

Wang Zheng glanced at Mars, but Mars stood up. “Wang Zheng, if you can battle, do battle. If not, please take retreat into consideration.”
