Chapter 176: Tactic
The battle of the first batch lasted a little over five hours, hundreds of the participants got badly injured and a group of five hundred were selected in the end.
Now it was time for the second batch to go into the arena, but the audience who were cheering loudly even after hours of shouting were surprised when the next batch walked onto the arena.
Most of the participants seemed to be wearing different coloured clothes on their right arms, this was the solution they came up with so they didn’t end up hurting their own group.
Vritra was the leader of Team Red. Out of the sixteen groups, his group stood out a bit more—the members there were selected first, so they were better than the others.
As they climbed onto the arena, sixteen groups took their parts of the stage and stood in a systematic way.
While the group which didn’t choose any side stood on the opposite side, people talked in awe at the strange behaviour of this batch. The previous ones just fought like barbarians; there were small groups, but nothing as systematic as this.
"Hello young people, I am the host and announcer of your battle. My name is ’TK’ and I will make this announcement again.
You are not allowed to kill others, this is not a fight to the death. If you kill others then not only will you be out of this competition but will be arrested as well." TK warned, then he continued in a relaxed tone:
"Now this batch seems much more promising and smart than the previous one, do your best and win.
Every person who wins today will be rewarded with gold and have priority when applying as guards for the castle. Let’s not bore our spectators anymore, and the battle begins!!"
There was complete silence for a few seconds on the arena and the audience seats, then chaos broke out. Vritra had already informed his group about their plan. He divided the members into distant damage dealers, tanks, and direct fighters.
