We shook hands on it and turned to look at the training ground as we waited eagerly for the battle to begin. It was already a very exciting battle to begin with. The bet had just made it twice as exciting.
I could feel my adrenalin pumping!
BA DUMP! BA DUMP!
The familiar pain surged in my chest.
Okay, make that THREE tis as exciting! My red cha core was reacting to my excitent!
YES!!
Very soon, the countdown for the final few seconds began.
5!
4!
3!
2!
BATTLE!
As soon as the countdown reached zero, the ground began to rumble slightly and many openings began to appear all over the main training area.
Half ruined buildings of every kind began to appear and rise up from those openings.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
Within a few seconds, the flat and open training ground transford into a half-destroyed city.
"Wow." I breathed. "This is excellent! It's exactly like an urban scene!"
"Hmm. Each battleground will be randomly selected by the system. But urban battlegrounds appear more often than all the other types combined. The Whitefrost Clan is probably preparing for a major offensive involving city battles." Emma's eyes shone brightly in excitent as well.
On the far right, I could see the Giant Pegasi Company's heavy chas forming up into six groups of seven and spreading out in a single line until they were approximately two hundred fifty ters away from each other.
After that, the six groups began to advance slowly on the ground. The remaining eight chas split into two groups of four and trailed after the six groups.
I nodded in approval at their formation.
Their six groups were able to occupy almost the entire breadth of the training ground, ensuring that the enemy would not be able to flank them and attack them from the rear.
Having seven in a group also provided each group with enough firepower to resist an engagent with the light chas for a few minutes, long enough for the other groups to converge on their location and crush the enemy with their superior firepower.
The two four-man groups trailing behind them would also serve as a powerful ergency back up in case any individual group t with all of the enemy chas at once.
The only thing I lanted was that they did not have any light chas to serve as scouts. In every battle, having 'eyes' on the enemy is extrely important. Still, they should have no problems wiping out the Black Salamanders.
I turned my head to my left and studied the formation of the Black Salamanders. With all fifty chas being light chas, they had no shortages of scouts. And as such, they had equipped ten of their chas with flight systems and had already taken to the skies to scout out the enemy position and formations.
The rest were standing still in ten groups of four chas.
"The Giant Pegasi are already dood." Emma remarked from my side. "They don't have any scouts. They wouldn't even know what hit them when the Black Salamanders finally make their move."
"I don't really know what light chas are capable of in comparison to heavy chas. But I have confidence in the Giant Pegasi's leader." I replied to her confidently. "Plus, the Giant Pegasi are mobilizing exactly the way I predicted they would."
"Really? Why is that so?" Emma asked curiously.
"Deng Da Jun. Twenty-year old male. RPL 65%. Joined the Whitefrost Clan five years ago. Prior occupation: Junkyard Scrapper. Orphaned since birth." I showed her his profile. "He was a junkyard scrapper!"
"So?" Emma asked again in confusion.
"Emma, I am a junkyard scrapper, and I've only been a junkyard scrapper for a few years. I may not be anything much, but I definitely am one thing. A survivor. That's what I do. I survive.
This Deng Da Jun, however, was a junkyard scrapper from birth all the way till he was fifteen years old. That tells one thing. He's either an incredible survivalist, or a gang mber. And there is no way in hell the Whitefrost Clan would recruit a gang mber."
"So? He may be a good survivor in a junkyard, but that doesn't an anything in a cha battle." Emma refuted stubbornly.
"If he is a new recruit, yes, his ability to survive would not an anything. But he has been training in here for five years now. He would have definitely integrated his survivor instincts into his fighting techniques and as a leader, into his deploynt tactics." I explained. "Plus, the fact that he is a company leader with his less than stellar background tells that he is probably brilliant!"
"I don't see much of this "survivor instinct" in his deploynt tactics." Emma scoffed lightly. "It's just a textbook heavy cha deploynt tactic, and it is even one without the scouts."
"It would be extrely textbook if everything is rely what it seed." I grinned widely at her. "Oh I've lost count how many tis I've tried so hard to make everything look like what they rely seed, only to hide a deadly trap within. Look at his cha and the modifications he had made."
I pointed out the interesting thing which had caught my attention earlier.
"He had removed most of his heavy armor and… replaced them with a flight system?!" Emma gasped in disbelief. "And an additional high powered heavy rifle?!"
"Yes. And look at where he has positioned himself." I said gleefully.
Emma swivelled her head around to her screen and quickly brought out Da Jun's position. "He's trailing behind the main line in the group of four. In fact… he's even beginning to slow down and separate himself from the rest of his team!"
"Yes! I knew it the mont I saw his background and his cha modifications. He is a heavy assassin!" I proclaid triumphantly.
"Uhh. Okay. That might throw a small wrench into the Black Salamander's plans. But I doubt it would be enough to cause them to lose." Emma said. But doubt was already surfacing in her eyes.
