206: Chapter 206 I'll try this feeling too.

Sakura Country has 20 Towers built up with massive resources, with a total combat power nearing 52,000. Even though two have been destroyed at this moment, the combat power is still maintained at around 44,000, far exceeding the 36,000 combat power of Russia after it also lost one Tower!

"You're using the [red token] just like that? Don't you have a brilliant advisor by your side? What's wrong? Can't that never-give-up advisor come up with any good moves anymore?"

After Saku Kenichi used the token to give an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, he appeared to be speaking to Toslev, but his eyes were provocatively looking at Chen Aoyun on the side.

It couldn't be said that using the token was a bad move; it could only be said that this move was completely meaningless.

After the combat power of Sakura Country's Towers dropped from 52,000 to 44,000, they could still barely cope with the elite monsters that spawned every minute, and could still keep their Crystal from being invaded.

On the other hand, for Russia, after being countered by the Sakura people using the token, whereas they could previously kill the elite monsters until they were at a sliver of health, now that they were missing a Tower, killing the elite monsters was even more hopeless.

In short, after this back-and-forth, those who weren't letting monsters through continued not to, and Russia, which was letting monsters through, continued to do so. If this isn't meaningless, what is?

Saku Kenichi stopped beating around the bush and instead turned his head, examining Chen Aoyun with the smug posture of a victor. He spoke with a half-smile,

"You wouldn't be thinking of using the token to stop me from taking first place in this scene, would you? Actually, there's no need for such trouble. My Sakura Country and the USA are firm allies. We have already discussed the rankings for this scene. Even if you didn't use the token to destroy my Towers here, my Sakura Country wouldn't fight the USA for first place in this scene."

Brown from the USA also suddenly spoke up at this moment to Chen Aoyun, "That's right, even if Russia doesn't use the token, first place will still be my USA's. Your attempts to curry favor with my USA are useless. In the future, when the [National War] begins, I will still stand on the side of Sakura Country. Besides, aren't you close with this guy? Could it be that after spending some time together, you, this rising star of the Game of National Destiny, also look down on Russia?"

Saku Kenichi targeted Chen Aoyun. Brown berated Toslev. They both knew that Chen Aoyun and Toslev using the [red token] was just a perfectly normal choice under the current situation.

Russia's Crystal was going to break before long; leaving the token unused was a waste, so using it to destroy Towers, one at a time, was better than nothing. Destroying two of Sakura Country's Towers, while it couldn't change the outcome of Russia finishing third, could increase the gap between Sakura Country and the USA after Russia left the scene.

Compared to the USA taking first place in this scene, Chen Aoyun was even less willing to see Sakura Country take first. Therefore, the use of the token had absolutely nothing to do with currying favor with anyone; it was simply a choice made after weighing the pros and cons.

Brown from the USA knew this, yet he deliberately said it this way. Apart from showing that the hostility between the USA and Russia was no less than that between Dragon Country and Sakura Country, it was also another way of sowing discord.

Regarding this, Chen Aoyun's face remained expressionless. However, the corners of Toslev's mouth, standing beside him, began to be hard to suppress.

Toslev exaggeratedly turned his head to look at Chen Aoyun, "Clearly my Russia and the USA are tied for first in total points, and the USA is my Russia's biggest threat. Yet you insisted that I use the token to attack Sakura Country. Sakura Country not getting first place is beneficial to your Dragon Country, but it can't be considered a good thing for my Russia. You, you, you... you guy are simply too selfish!"

Toslev's acting was exaggerated, and he still held a smile at the corner of his mouth. Saku Kenichi and Brown were not fools; they could tell at a glance that this guy was acting.

Toslev, who was acting, broke character as he acted, and burst into laughter, "You were expecting me to say that, right? Unfortunately, I'll say it again: sowing discord is useless! I know how many enemies my Russia has. With the ten-fold reward for first place in this Game of National Destiny, those countries hostile to my Russia will spontaneously stop my Russia from taking first place once they realize they have no hope of getting a ranking. My Russia never even thought about taking first place. Even if we could, I would be willing to give this opportunity to Dragon Country!"

Toslev was actually able to say the words about giving first place to Dragon Country. Regardless of whether these words were true or false, it was enough to make everyone present, and even the whole world, feel surprised!

"What kind of love potion did Chen Aoyun feed Toslev that Toslev is willing to help Dragon Country like this?" "Could it be that Russia's Toslev has taken a fancy to Dragon Country's Chen Aoyun? Two men, just thinking about it is exciting!" "Damn, could my Russia's Strategist be a spy for Dragon Country?" "..."

The live stream chat room was buzzing with discussion, with people saying all sorts of things. The popular science about Russia's heroic spirits took place under the cover of night and was not broadcasted. Only Saku Kenichi, who had 'eavesdropped' under the cover of night, could understand why Toslev would say that.

His mouth twitched. Russia completely leaning towards Dragon Country made Saku Kenichi very dissatisfied. Turning the conversation to Toslev, Saku Kenichi said, "The premise of giving up first place is that you maintain first place yourself. You, a country whose Crystal is about to break, have the nerve to say this?"

Toslev didn't put away his smile, nor did he refute, but instead followed Saku Kenichi's words and said, "That's right, my Russia's Crystal won't last much longer. But so what? As long as your Sakura Country's Crystal breaks before my Russia's Crystal, won't that be enough!"

Brown from the USA looked at Toslev as if he were looking at a fool, "What kind of daydream are you having? How could Sakura Country's Crystal break before your Russia's Crystal? What you're saying is really interesting."

Toslev looked at Brown. Before Chen Aoyun, the rising star of the Game of National Destiny, appeared, and before Sakura Country and Dragon Country had fallen out, the countries that looked at each other the most unfavorably globally were the USA and Russia. Toslev and Brown were also old rivals in the Game of National Destiny.

Toslev shook his head with a smile, his laughter growing from small to loud. While laughing, he pointed at Chen Aoyun beside him, "Hahaha, it is interesting. But the interesting person is not me, it's my advisor! This advisor of mine is really too interesting. If you don't believe it, take a look..."

Toslev drew out the sound, suddenly raised one arm, and then clenched his palm tightly! No one knew what this action of Toslev's was. But the next second, as Toslev's palm clenched tightly, in the direction of Russia's Tower formation, suddenly, one Tower glowed with red light!

That was the red light that would only appear when launching an attack on another country's Tower! Brown was stunned. Saku Kenichi was stunned. All the [Strategists] of the countries present were also stunned. The audience watching the live stream around the world were also confused at this moment, staring blankly at the glowing Tower, not knowing what was going on.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! You have already destroyed two of my Sakura Country's Towers, and the two [red tokens] in your hand have already been used. How can it still glow with red light? No! This is not the red light for launching a Tower attack, it absolutely cannot be! You used up the [red tokens], and all the 'casus belli' were occupied in advance by my Sakura Country. This red light absolutely cannot be..."

Saku Kenichi's words hadn't finished. That red-glowing Russian Tower shot out a ray of light. This ray of light streaked across the sky, drew an arc, and then landed straight on one of Sakura Country's Towers. The Tower, without any defensive power, collapsed instantly. Saku Kenichi's voice stopped abruptly, his face full of nothing but shock.

"How is this possible?! How did you do it?" Saku Kenichi didn't ask Toslev, but Chen Aoyun. He knew that the only person who could make such a thing that subverted his judgment happen could only be Chen Aoyun.

Meanwhile, Brown on the side also recovered from the shock. The face-slapping came too fast, especially being slapped by his old rival Toslev, which made Brown lose his composure. "Toslev, don't get cocky. Even if Sakura Country lost one more defensive Tower, what I just said is still not wrong! Your Russia's Crystal is still the one that will be the first to be broken by the demons."

Toslev said, "Look at you, what's the rush? Losing one more Tower, Sakura Country can indeed still 'stand its ground'... What if they lose two?" The raised arm clenched into a fist again. In the 'Tower formation' behind Toslev, the same Tower glowed with red light again. It glowed for the second time.

Without [red tokens], without 'casus belli', one red light was already incomprehensible enough, and it came again? No matter how incomprehensible, it still came! The same light, the same arc, only the target was changed to another Sakura Country Tower. Boom—the fired trajectory accurately hit the Tower, and this Sakura Country Tower also collapsed in response.

This was already the fourth Tower of Sakura Country to collapse since the final wave began! Even though they consciously tried to distribute resources as evenly as possible to strengthen the Towers, the strengthened Towers still had differences in strength. He specifically picked those Towers with high combat power ratings to attack. Sakura Country's Tower combat power had dropped from the initial 52,000 to less than 40,000 after Toslev's four rounds of attacks. The loss of nearly 10,000 combat power caused heavy losses for the Sakura people.

However, at this time, Sakura Country's Tower combat power was still higher than Russia's, and they could still cope with the 'elite monsters' that appeared every once in a while. The [Strategists] of the countries that had already been eliminated stared intently at everything happening before them. After some calculations, some viewers in the live stream chat room also posted comments: "Is there more? If it stops here, it still can't change the order in which the Crystals are broken; Sakura Country's Crystal will still break later than Russia's Crystal."

Various comments followed: - "Two inexplicable attacks were already incomprehensible enough, there won't be any more, right?" - "You said it yourself that it was incomprehensible, so what's wrong with a third or fourth one?"

On the chessboard. Saku Kenichi and Brown had already shut their mouths; they were now only doing one thing, and that was staring fixedly at Toslev's raised arm. After waiting for a moment, Toslev did not clench his single arm into a fist again. The two of them had just let out a sigh of relief, but they didn't expect that Toslev wasn't just stopping the single-arm fist. Instead, he had changed to clenching both hands into fists at the same time! This guy Toslev, he really knows how to put on a show!

Seeing that, after Toslev deliberately paused for a moment, and when he saw the slightly relaxed expressions of the two, the previously raised arm didn't come down, but he raised another one! Both arms were raised at the same time, making the viewers in the live stream chat room twitch their eyelids. "This guy, could it be..."

Sure enough, just as everyone expected. Clenching one arm represented one Tower glowing with red light; when Toslev raised both arms at the same time, it meant that two Towers glowed with red light. "Do you really have to raise your arms?" Chen Aoyun glanced at Toslev beside him.

"You don't understand, you, someone who often shows off in the Game of National Destiny, don't understand. Winning and losing in the Game of National Destiny are common, but opportunities to look cool are not! You have to be surprising enough, to make everyone present and everyone watching the live stream feel shocked. You've done this kind of thing too many times, you don't feel anything. I've never had this experience, so I have to carefully experience it, feel it..."

The red light of the Towers had nothing to do with whether Toslev clenched his fists or not. This action was just extra drama Toslev added for himself. But honestly, this added drama was really damn satisfying! Look at the astonishment of Brown and Saku Kenichi, look at the shocked gazes cast by the Strategists of other countries. Toslev was also someone who had won the Game of National Destiny many times, but this feeling of 'I am going to turn the tables, but you don't understand how I am turning the tables' was something Toslev was experiencing for the first time.

Two more trajectories fired at Sakura Country's Towers. Sakura Country's Tower combat power had already dropped by 32,000! It was even lower than Russia's Towers! Toslev's arms hadn't come down yet. Just when everyone didn't know if Russia had another trajectory to fire at Sakura Country, the attacking demons changed first!

The elite demons changed from appearing one at a time to spawning two at the same time. Fortunately, the number of elite demons increased by one, but the strength of each one was slightly weaker. This change was very favorable for Russia. Previously, after Russia activated against one demon, the opponent was left with only a sliver of health. Now, the number of elite demons was higher, but the defense and health of a single demon were slightly less. It was just enough for Russia to kill one of the two elite monsters!

And for Sakura Country, this change in the elite demon spawn was a desperate one! With severe damage to combat power, even if they focused fire on only one of the two elite demons, they couldn't kill it. As a result, although Russia leaked three monsters before Sakura Country, in the following five minutes, every time elite monsters attacked, Russia would only leak one elite demon, while Sakura Country would leak two at once! Wouldn't that catch up! If this continues, Sakura Country's Crystal will definitely break before Russia's Crystal!

Toslev silently lowered his raised arms. Seeing this, Saku Kenichi looked coldly at Chen Aoyun, "Can you still use unknown means to attack my Sakura Country's Towers?" Chen Aoyun spread his hands and said truthfully, "I can't. But it's already enough, isn't it?"

Saku Kenichi let out a long sigh, and a smile appeared on his gloomy face, "Then it is very regrettable. Although my Sakura Country's Towers have been destroyed, and there are no extra resources in the Crystal to rebuild, my Sakura Country can borrow Towers from elsewhere!"
