Before the game started, every competitor needed to strap on a laser sensor.
Once you got hit or hit someone, the sensor would puff out smoke.
The appearance of smoke meant the player is "out".
The commander was in charge of the whole game from the arsenal command center.
Aaron was the commander of the blue army. Before setting off, she divided fifty soldiers into three squads, telling them to form three squads and take the high ground on the mountain as soon as possible.
Generally speaking, the team that occupied the high ground first usually had the upper hand.
Weapons were also distributed at the same time.
Eileen's squad was formed latest, a six-man team. They had the fewest weapons and the fewest people. If the other two squads were like vanguards, then their team was more like a logistics team.
But it was inevitable because this was a real game, there were winners and losers. It was not just a show.
The commander surely needed to hand over the combat duties to professional soldiers first.
As for the celebrity guests, let them "chill out" at the back as much as possible, just avoid getting hurt.
But because Eileen's physical strength and combat power had always been high, after considering, Aaron decided to let her be the captain of the logistics team.
Eileen was over the moon instantly.
She had never led an army before, although there were only five subordinates, it was still an important position!
Eileen got pumped up immediately.
She even saluted Aaron, promising to complete the mission of capturing the mountain!
Aaron just chuckled and didn't say anything negative, telling them to set off according to the route.
When climbing the mountain, Eileen chose the right side, a path near the stream.
After a while, she looked back and saw two soldiers following closely behind.
Eddie and the other two were lagging behind, having to support each other.
Eileen frowned and said, "You guys have no discipline!"
Eddie, exhausted, said, "Captain, I really can't walk anymore."
Eileen was displeased, "How long have we been walking!"
Colin was also about to give up, he said, "We've been walking for almost an hour, and the clothes are too heavy, so is the backpack, and this gun. All these things add up to about twenty kilograms."
Eileen, with a stern face, said, "Isn't it the same when you're doing weighted training? It's only been an hour, there's a long way to go, you guys need to pull yourselves together and keep walking!"
In the end, the three of them gritted their teeth and continued on.
After more than half an hour of walking, Eileen suddenly heard fighting ahead.
The sound of fighting meant the two armies had met...
How the battle was going is still unknown.
Eileen ordered, "You guys stay on guard here, I'll go scout."
Having said that, she ran ahead.
Unexpectedly, she hadn't gone far when she ran into the squad leader from her dormitory, who was running towards them with two people.
The squad leader was also on the blue army, but she was with the other vanguard team.
The squad leader now looked very ragged, dirty, holding a gun in her hand, the other two were also in the same state.
Seeing Eileen suddenly appear, the squad leader was startled and quickly said, "Go!"
Eileen didn't know what had happened and could only follow her retreat.
When the four of them returned to the logistics team's position, Eileen asked, "What happened?"
The squad leader gritted her teeth and said, "Our army caught five isolated red army soldiers, we took them as prisoners. We thought the situation was in our favor, but it was actually a trap set by the red side! In the hollow of the mountain ahead, the red army ambushed us from inside and out. Our squad of twenty-two was annihilated, now only the three of us are left."
Eileen frowned and asked, "After capturing them, why didn't you just kill them, why did you choose to take them prisoner?"
The squad leader said in some surprise, "Usually out of humanitarian reasons, on the battlefield, after the enemy puts down their weapons, we choose to take them prisoner."
Eileen bit her lower lip, the education she received didn't include this.
What NightKing taught her was that on the battlefield, it's either you live or I die, there's no such thing as humanitarianism.
But regular armies definitely need to show kindness.
Unfortunately, the commander of the other side used the kindness of the regular army.
And the main commander of the other side is Egbert...
Eileen turned to the squad leader and said, "You guys stick with us for now."
The three agreed.
After that, the nine of them continued on.
But half an hour later, they heard the sound of fighting again.
When they arrived at the scene, it was a mess.
All twenty-two soldiers of the other vanguard team were "sacrificed".
Eileen looked at a long line of people puffing smoke uniformly, wanted to ask what happened, but the "dead" can't speak, so she didn't get any information.
Less than two hours after the start of the confrontation, out of the fifty people on the blue side, only nine, including Eileen, were left.
The situation was very bad.
At this time, the squad leader suddenly said, "Look over there."
Eileen looked forward and saw the red army's flag already planted on the high ground ahead.
This meant that if the red side is lucky, they may have already occupied the high ground.
Eddie was stunned and asked in a daze, "Have we...lost?"
The squad leader said, "Not exactly, we still have nine people, don't we?"
Eddie said, "But isn't it said that whoever occupies the high ground first wins?"
The squad leader shook her head, "Occupying the high ground is just a scoring point. At the end of the game, the side that occupies the high ground will get a lot of points, but it's not decisive. If we can wipe out the other side and take the high ground before the game ends at ten o'clock tonight, then we'll be the winners."
