There are two situations that will make people feel cool about the draw of the match - they draw the upper draw, or the opponent draws the lower lot.

Prince Salvin looked at the grouping with satisfaction - it was good, Samuel's team was very evenly distributed, one in each group, and there was no "confrontation" with the school.

And the final goal of the group stage is to qualify, according to the rules, as long as you win any of the teams you can advance, so I don't care if the strongest team in the group is much stronger than you, but care about the weakest team, whether it is easier to beat.

Of the six groups in which Samuel's team is located, except for the team in the branch school, which has a more difficult opponent, the other five teams are in the group, and all of them have at least one relatively weak team, and there is no difficulty in theory.

This means that as long as Samuel's team plays normally, it is almost guaranteed that five teams will qualify for the group stage - this will break the record for the number of teams that have qualified for Samuel in the first stage of the previous seven-school competition!

However, if it is just like this, the teachers and students outside will not be so excited, in fact, many people are still quite excited without knowing the strength ranking of the teams of each school, that is because in this year's Seven Schools Competition, Feng Shui finally took turns - it was no longer Samuel who was drawn, but the Carter Empire.

First of all, Carter actually had three teams drawn to the same group, the so-called "roommate", which means that they have eliminated one of their own teams before the game has even started.

But that's not the saddest part.

Because after a round of group stage, except for the element of luck, it is generally the weaker team that is eliminated. Therefore, as long as the seeded team can advance smoothly, it can still shine in the later matches.

Carter's second-ranked seeded team in the school unfortunately won the legendary "Group of Death" this time - it will face the team led by His Royal Highness Kyle from Samuel and Chen Xu from the Federation!

As a result, in the draw alone, the Carter Empire has already lost one team, and will soon lose another very important seeded team!

As host, Prince Salvin felt compelled to comfort the petrified Minister Carter.

He pondered for a moment and said gently: "No one can predict this kind of thing until the last moment, there have been countless dark horses in history that have stood out and successfully counterattacked, so you don't have to worry too much." ”

Minister Carter raised his head with difficulty, glanced at the polite Prince Salvin, and grinded his teeth in his heart: "You said it lightly, if our second seed wants to counterattack, we have to defeat your son's team, or Chen Xu's team!" Still stand out? If you don't splash blood in five steps, you are already blessed by your ancestors! ”

Standing next to them and watching the bustle, Prince Akes quietly glanced at Chen Xu not far away, and his eyes clearly flashed with a little smugness - look, I'll just say that the kid is a wangfu!

After communicating with Chen Xu remotely for a while, Akers turned his gaze to Allen again, and thought regretfully: "It's a pity that I'm about to get married, otherwise it would be nice to leave us Ah Xu!" ”

Samuel, who also saw the results, was in a different mood.

Alan had just kept up with the battle, his whole body was tense, and now he was finally able to relax, and he glanced at Kyle, and saw trust and ...... in the other party's eyes Filled with love, Alan embarrassedly twisted his head towards the big screen.

Heller wanted to step forward and give Alan a hug, but he couldn't resist the atmosphere around the two, so he decided to stay away from this husband who exudes "love" anytime and anywhere, and can brighten up his blind eyes!

Tang Haichao looked at this "lost and regained" cousin, and his interaction with His Royal Highness Kyle, thoughtfully.

And Tang Haiwen, who was standing behind him, whispered to his sister Tang Haiyin: "Make sure the video is being recorded, Alan appeared in the competition, grandpa must want to watch it." ”

Haiyin clicked on the terminal and replied to him: "Don't worry, the three cameras are all operating, and no picture has been missed." ”

Otis on the other side was secretly observing them, and when he saw Tang Haichao's eyes lingering on that Allen, he sneered in his heart.

- Ran to the Emperor Star to hug Hereward's thigh, but it turned out that there was not only Arthur Atfield, but now there was an old minister Adrington inexplicably, the Tang family should always be sober, it's time to find another master!

- Alan Adrington, it seems interesting, but I don't know if it can be so interesting when it comes to bed......

Licking his lips, Otis retracted his arbitrary gaze and waited to sign and confirm the grouping results.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Early in the morning, when Alan and Kyle arrived at the castle, Prince Salvin was having "breakfast" with the little tiger.

The little guy was sitting on the sofa domineeringly, holding a bottle and drinking, when he saw Alan walk in, he immediately called out to him.

So Alan walked over and held it in his arms. The little tiger found the best position to sit down, then pushed the bottle with his little paws, and looked at Alan expectantly with his round eyes shiny.

- Is my Ellen going to milk with me?!

Alan happily looked at the pacifier that was bitten by the little tiger and was full of saliva, touched its little head and refused: "Good boy, we can't eat your breakfast, you eat it yourself, okay?" ”

This bottle contains the little tiger's nutrients, and the amount is just right, and Alan is reluctant to let the little tiger go hungry.

"Whew!" The little one was disappointed for a second, then was soothed by a kiss on the top of his head, and he continued to happily hold his bottle and make a sucking sound. The fluffy little tail gently patted Alan's thigh, and it was very pleasant!

Prince Salvin was eating breakfast while watching his youngest son interact with his prospective "daughter-in-law", and he was in a very happy mood.

After a while, he turned to Kyle and said, "Today's opponent is Carter's second-ranked team, even if you are somewhat sure, you can't take it lightly. ”

The opponent was able to rank second in Carter, also because there were two S-class quasi-mecha warriors. And in terms of staffing, the combination of the four mechfighters is the same as Kyle's, but according to the convention of the game, only three people on both sides can play.

"This team can only break the cauldron and fight against the water, and the possibility of being stimulated in a desperate situation is very high."

Salvin continued: "And in this round of the group stage, they will definitely not retain their strength, and they will definitely send those two S-class players directly on the field, but we can't arrange for you and Arthur to play at the same time in the first game." ”

The group stage is naturally "long live" for the teams that are lower in the rankings, but for the teams that have the strength to compete for the final victory, it requires strategy.

When to send who to play, very knowledgeable.

On the premise of ensuring promotion, try to retain their strength in the preliminary round, but at the same time, they must also test the strength of other opponents, which is the purpose of their hard work in the preliminary round.

However, it is not easy to achieve this goal - because if you want to hide, everyone will hide!

At present, they and Chen Xu's team are facing a big challenge, that is, how to maintain the final victory in front of a team that has completely released energy, and at the same time hide their true strength as much as possible, so as to avoid letting other potential opponents study their own advantages and flaws.

That's the whole point of this game!

"In this round, we won't let Arthur play." Kyle said lightly: "Chen Xu's side, I'm afraid he won't let another S-class mecha warrior play." ”

Prince Salvin nodded in agreement: "That's right, I am very relieved that you cooperate with Heller and Philos, but one thing to pay special attention to is the opponent's self-detonation attack." ”

Kyle glanced up at Prince Salvin, puzzled.

Self-exposed? This is a completely different concept from when Allen participated in the duel, Kyle asked Heller to attack Allen and make him passively "die".

Although the virtual self-detonation of the simulation cabin is not life-threatening, it is extremely devastating to the driver's psychology.

Yan zhòng's may even cause a deep psychological barrier, and he will no longer be able to fly a mecha - because of that kind of tragic death, no matter how powerful a person is, he may not be able to withstand it a second time!

Is it possible to ruin the career of a promising would-be mech warrior just for the sake of a competition?

As if he knew what Kyle was suspicious, Salvin took a sip of his coffee and said something else: "The emperor who has just succeeded Carter is said to be a man of great joy. ”

Because of the great joy, so will do whatever it takes!

In such an unfavorable grouping situation, if he wants to pursue victory, he will not take the psychology of a teenager as heavy - just a pawn in the pursuit of fame, and if one is broken, there will always be another to make up.

Kyle understood what Prince Salvin meant, and replied softly, "We'll take care of it." ”

……

When Alan and Kyle were about to leave the castle for the playing field, the little tiger didn't want to get down in Alan's arms, pretending to be sleepy, and the little chubby squinted his eyes and snored.

Alan nodded his little nose lightly and said with a smile: "Brother is going to compete today, cub encourage brother!" ”

As he spoke, he hugged the little chubby dun to Kyle's side and motioned for the little guy to give his brother a mo-da.

The amber eyes and the dark blue eyes looked at each other for a while, and the little tiger suddenly twisted his little body, and with lightning speed, he quickly approached Allen's face, "Haw" and "Haw" chirped twice!

"......" Kyle.

The little one snuggled triumphantly into Alan's arms, his little paws grasping the buttons of his placket.

Seeing this, Prince Salvin was happy in his heart, and at the same time reached out to take the little thing of "Fox Fake Tiger Might", and said to Kyle: "Okay, it's not too early, you guys go!" ”
