Chapter 243: God of War vs God of Trickster (1/2)
”The first round is won by Italy Team,” Sheira announced out loud after Diego's verdict, so everyone could hear.
As one would expect, some sang the National Anthem while some cheered to the top of their lungs.
The same euphoria could be felt from Italy Team. When Agata and the others returned to the waiting room, they all shouted cheerfully.
”Yeay!”
”We did it!”
”Thanks to Ignazio's plan, we won!”
However, Ignazio couldn't share the same sentiment. His face was dead serious despite Agata's cheerful expression. He simply felt threatened when he watched the entire battle.
Enrica noticed his expression and called his name. ”Ignazio?”
”…” Ignazio shook his head helplessly and sighed. ”We're in trouble. To think they are this good…”
The cheers stopped as Alys asked, ”What do you mean? Wasn't your plan working?”
”Of course, but it's only working because of the difference in our strategy.”
”The difference in our strategy?” Enrica furrowed her eyebrows.
”Yes. Assuming the plan they used came from Theodore… His entire plan was a short term one while mine was building up before one big explosion.”
”What is the difference?”
”My plan was for all of you to adapt and adjust as time goes on. It's a dull strategy, but there's no need for a big change of plan. Meanwhile, Theodore's plan was like a general who commands the army that can change its formation in a short time, creating one commotion after another, making a perfect commotion to destroy our team if we're not careful.”
”Hmm?” Agata tilted her head and asked, ”Doesn't that mean your plan worked better?”
”In the previous fight? Yes. But in the second fight… We are going to face Theodore directly. During that time, he will have time to reorganize the entire plan and create a commotion according to his observation. This kind of short term plan will work effectively if the commander is on the field.”
”…” Agata fell silent and noticed that the entire fight became dull as time passed on. She thought it was due to Ignazio's plan, but it turned out because they had no leader that commanded them to a changing situation. With Theo coming up on the second battle, the way they moved might be far sharper than the previous one and it would keep at that pace to the end of the battle unless they defeated Theo.
Agata couldn't help but smile and said, ”Hmm… That guy is more amazing than I thought, making me want to possess him even more. What do you think about inviting him to Italy after this competition?”
”Well, he seems to be interesting enough, but we can't give any guarantee. If you want to do it, better tell Sir Diego after the competition, so he can get the proposal to the government.” Ignazio shrugged. ”But with what he has shown until now, the country won't make a move yet.”
Agata nodded with a calm expression and changed the topic, ”So, what are you planning for the second battle?”
