Chapter 53: Chapter 53 The Sacrificial Lamb

"Something’s off. I don’t recognize many of those players across from us," Kun Sha said, furrowing his brows as he noticed the issue.

Kun Sha had spent a long time in the Southern Cross Federation, so if there were any renowned players, he would’ve known them.

The fact that he didn’t recognize these players only meant that they were nobodies before.

But in such a trial, using one or two unknown players might be understandable. How could Guyue City use so many no-name players?

"Could it be that Guyue City has given up on the final trial and just wants to win the match, so they found some strong Trial Takers who aren’t football players to participate?" Pa Shan pondered out loud.

Kun Sha was about to say something more, but the screen on the field had already lit up.

"The S-Class trial is about to begin. Participants, please choose your teams. Pressing the red button automatically makes you part of one team, pressing the white button makes you part of another team. The trial rules are as follows... Countdown begins..."

A 600-second countdown appeared on the screen. The captain of Guyue City’s team walked up to the red button and pressed it directly.

Even though he still had suspicions, having reached this point, Kun Sha could only walk up to the white button and press it.

All the team members went up one by one to press the buttons, with Pa Shan and Li Xiu following Kun Sha, pressing the white button in turn.

But when it was the next player’s turn, the player behind suddenly said sorry to Kun Sha, then walked straight over to the red button.

The captain of Guyue City’s team watched this unfold with a smile, showing no intention to stop it, as he watched the Tyrone City player press the red button.

Kun Sha and Pa Shan’s expressions turned ugly, and Shale angrily shouted, "Zheng Xin, what the hell are you doing? Are you planning to betray Tyrone City?"

Zheng Xin said nothing, stepping behind the Guyue City captain, demonstrating his stance through his actions.

Shale still wanted to curse but found that others from his side were moving towards the red button too, and not just one.

In no time, except for Kun Sha, Li Xiu, Pa Shan, and Shale, all the players went over to the Guyue City side and pressed the red button.

The opposing eleven-member team was already complete, and the few original Guyue City players remained bewildered, their eyes full of panic.

"Captain, what’s going on?" a player who couldn’t press the red button rushed toward the Guyue City captain to question him.

"Scram!" a burly man beside the Guyue captain kicked him hard, sending him flying far away.

"I’m truly sorry, my team is full. You can choose to join the other team or stay here." The Guyue captain said indifferently.

Li Xiu already understood what had happened, no wonder only Shale opposed when he was appointed as a winger before, while the other players remained indifferent. They knew they wouldn’t be on the same team with Li Xiu, the weaker Li Xiu was, the better for them.

It was all premeditated, and it must have something to do with the City Lord of Tyrone City, otherwise, so many players couldn’t have been bought off without the City Lord knowing.

The only explanation was that the City Lord of Tyrone City was definitely one of the planners, perhaps even the mastermind behind it.

All of this was likely targeted at Kun Sha; otherwise, how could the City Lord not inform Kun Sha of the plan? Kun Sha was Tyrone City’s top Magic Armor Master; how could the City Lord sacrifice him?

Li Xiu and Pa Shan both had connections with Kun Sha, and Li Xiu was even recommended by Kun Sha to join the team, which is why they were similarly targeted.

Perhaps the only one who was ignorant and suffering unwarranted disaster was Shale.

"Sorry for dragging you into this," Kun Sha sighed, apologizing to Li Xiu and Pa Shan.

He apparently understood what was going on; he knew Zheng De better than Li Xiu and naturally thought things through more clearly.

"Damn it, I’m screwed because of you people," Shale cursed, his face turning dark.

But he had no other options. Seeing the countdown time running low, he could only press the red button.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get over here," Shale shouted at the remaining Guyue City team members after pressing the red button.

Those people suddenly snapped out of their daze, rushing over to press the white button one by one.

"What position do you play?" Shale grabbed a man’s collar, glaring ferociously as he asked.

"I... I... don’t play football..." Although this outcome was expected, hearing it still left Shale in despair.

He yelled questions at the other few people, but got the same answers. Not only did they not play football, but they hadn’t participated in trials before and weren’t even Trial Takers.

"Damn Zheng De’s ancestors!" Shale pushed the person he grabbed to the ground, roaring in anger.

"Getting angry won’t help now, let’s think about how to win the match," Li Xiu said.

"Win, my ass. Just us four plus these useless ones, how can we win?" Shale cursed.

"Do you want to survive, or do you want to stay here and wait to die?" Li Xiu said calmly.

Shale fell silent instantly. At this point, nothing could be said that would help, but given such circumstances, how was it possible to still win?

Looking at those trembling guys like chickens, Shale felt a surge of anger.

"Kun Sha, if you want to blame anyone, blame yourself for not reading the situation. Being a good Magic Armor Master, why come to a place like this to die? You gave others a chance to kill you yourself, can’t blame anyone else," the Guyue captain said lightly, seemingly confident in his victory.

The fact was, indeed, that among Kun Sha’s side, only he, Pa Shan, and Shale could fight, Li Xiu was at best half a player, not even one at that.

Any of the opposing players were as strong as Pa Shan and Shale. They might win one-on-one, but two-on-one was surely a loss.

The remaining ordinary people were just liabilities, utterly useless here.

Kun Sha’s strength was formidable, but the Guyue team’s captain would not be much weaker, likely entangling him until the end.

Li Xiu swiftly analyzed the current situation, and indeed the gap in strength was too vast.

As the countdown ended, everyone was transported to the field, with the Red Team on the left side and the White Team on the right.

The Red Team was strong and aggressive, staring down the White Team like wolves, while the White Team trembled like lambs to the slaughter.

"Pa Shan, could you tie down Dong Qiu? I’ll try to take some of them out first," Kun Sha said in a low voice to Pa Shan, eyes full of killing intent, "If we make it out alive, Zheng De will face a bloody price."

"I’ll do my best to hold him," Pa Shan nodded, his gaze solemnly fixed on the captain of the Guyue team.

He had also heard of Dong Qiu’s name, whose physical enhancement was very high, not much inferior to Kun Sha’s, and Pa Shan was probably not his match. But this was the only possible way for a slim chance of survival.
