Chapter 1493 - 1494: The Battle Is Decided Here
Although it is widely accepted that Blue Sword has already claimed the championship, a few still believe that the Golden Tri-Leaf Special Forces might stage an unexpected comeback during the final Counter-Terrorism integrated operations.
After all, the soldiers of the Golden Tri-Leaf Special Forces are Genetic Warriors, possessing an absolute advantage in Counter-Terrorism operations.
All competitions for Special Forces are ultimately geared towards preparing for the Special Counter-Terrorism operation.
Therefore, the score of the Counter-Terrorism integrated operation accounts for forty percent of the total score.
If the Golden Tri-Leaf achieves a high score in the Counter-Terrorism Special Operations, they could possibly surpass others to become the champion of this Special Forces competition.
The Counter-Terrorism Special Operations competition has always been the most thrilling, and everyone can witness the complete scene under aerial camera surveillance.
This real confrontation competition is more exciting than many so-called blockbuster movies.
Many second-tier Special Forces from smaller nations have already become mere spectators.
Especially after witnessing the combat power of top King Special Forces like Blue Sword and Golden Tri-Leaf, some second and third-tier Special Forces voluntarily withdrew from contesting for the top three positions.
Everyone is watching eagerly, waiting to see the ultimate showdown between Blue Sword and Golden Tri-Leaf.
Some soldiers have even set up private bets.
Smith's Genetic Warriors, including himself, number only eight, yet each one is a Special Combat expert proficient in battling against overwhelming odds.
On the Blue Sword Special Combat Brigade side, the Evil Dragon Soldier King has already shown his prowess, and this time, it's up to the Evil Dragon Soldier King to take on the Genetic Warriors of Golden Tri-Leaf.
Since that night when Smith met with Hades, he reset up his command post, designating Hades' camp as a prohibited area, and he hasn't met with Hades these days.
However, tomorrow is the final battle, and tonight, Smith feels it's necessary to meet with Hades.
He stands outside Hades' camp, smoking three cigarettes, but he doesn't have the courage to unveil the tent and enter. Smith and Hades were both once members of the Navy SEALs Special Forces, sharing the life-and-death bond of comrades who shielded each other from bullets.
However, after encountering Hades this time, Smith can no longer retrieve their former close relationship.
Confronting Hades' cold aura, Smith feels a heavy pressure.
Even if Hades is sitting and talking to Smith, Smith feels an urge to worship, as if only by kneeling before Hades can he feel a bit more at ease.
Smith knows that this is the oppression of a High-order Being over a lesser being, like a cat to a mouse or a lion to an antelope.
The instinct of living creatures is naturally to seek advantage and avoid harm.
For creatures that are far more powerful and could threaten their existence, all living beings subconsciously avoid them.
Smith is no different.
Having integrated the combined genes of a chameleon and an eagle, Smith was once a King himself.
But in front of Hades, he has to admit that he feels as fragile as an infant.
The scorching and choking scent of tobacco makes Smith's throat very uncomfortable, yet it relaxes his tense nerves somewhat.
Smith relaxed his nerves a bit and stepped into the camp with as calm and steady steps as possible.
However, to his surprise, the tent was empty inside, seemingly like a deserted tomb.
He glanced around and tried shouting twice when suddenly a faint voice came from outside the tent.
"Smith, what are you here for?"
The tent flap was lifted, and the icy, handsome figure of Hades walked in.
He held a golden-brown roasted wild rabbit in his hand, exuding a tantalizing fragrance.
Smith let out a sigh of relief and spoke with slight restraint.
"Tomorrow is the Special Counter-Terrorism integrated competition, and we need to eliminate the Evil Dragon Soldier King. This is a great opportunity."
Hades smiled slightly, seeming to respond to Smith yet also speaking to himself.
"Yes, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Smith earnestly recounted the basic details of the Special Counter-Terrorism competition, and also conveyed his plans to Hades.
Hades nodded: "Not bad, your plan is thorough. Let's proceed according to your plan."
"Heh heh, the Evil Dragon Yang Fei indeed has skills, having killed Apollo and Poseidon."
"But I, Hades, am the underworld King who sends people to hell. This time, let me personally end his life."
"Giggle, since the King of the Underworld is taking action, of course, there is also me, Persephone."
As Hades finished speaking, a beautiful woman, with golden hair cascading down like a waterfall, approached gracefully from a distance.
A red gemstone was embedded on her forehead band, exuding the beauty of ancient Greece.
"And I, Ares!"
The Bald Strong Man followed Persephone, holding a large golden rod in his hand.
The rod was as thick as an average person's thigh, with the tip sharpened into a spade-like shape, revealing that this rod was actually an intimidating long spear.
Hades said indifferently: "My Divine Crystal is already a Golden Divine Power, and it has granted me power enough to break through the True Martial Realm."
"And Persephone's Divine Crystal is also a Golden Divine Power, having entered the True Martial Realm even before me."
"Besides, Ares, though his Divine Crystal is only Black Iron Godhood, it grants him immense strength."
At this moment, Hades raised his brows and said coolly, "The three of us can fully represent the power of All Gods."
"If even this can't resolve the Evil Dragon Yang Fei, then we'll have to ask Father Zeus to take action."
Smith solemnly saluted Hades.
"The dignity of the American Nation military personnel, the honor of the nation, rests on this battle. Please take it on."
Hades nodded, taking down the golden-brown rabbit and asked Smith, "Do you want some?"
Smith shook his head and gave a bitter smile.
"I don't have the mood right now. After we eliminate the Evil Dragon and return to our country, I'll celebrate with everyone."
Hades said blandly, "We'll see then."
"Now that the Evil Dragon Yang Fei has already grown into an unparalleled powerhouse, the cost of eliminating him will not be small."
"It's hard to say how many of your comrades will survive."
A chill ran through Smith's heart, yet he still straightened his back: "To fight for the country, I accept the risk of death without regret."
Hades nodded, his eyes showing a bit more respect: "It seems you still have not changed your original intention; congratulations."
Watching Hades' cold demeanor, Smith felt a bit uneasy.
They were once intimate comrades, yet Smith no longer dared to jest freely with him and felt a bit of melancholy.
The next day, however, was a rare pleasant day.
On the wilderness of Kuchen, where cold weather had persisted for many days, the sun barely peeked out today, still chilly but warming the spirits a little.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the competition officially began.
