Chapter 746: Two Dark Horses

With the second game between the Red and Blue Nations, the Tour of the Island Race came to an end with a victory for the Red Country. The battle for the crown between the Red and Blue Nation has also been officially decided.

The Reds advance to the second round with a two-game winning streak, while the Blues will enter the repechage and the three other losing teams that emerged after the first round will snatch the only place in the second round.

Because of the continuous defeats, coupled with the fact that even the best naval battles were lost to the Red Country, the people of the Blue Country no longer dared to underestimate the Red Country. With the winners and losers of the match between the Red and Blue Nations, the attitude of the Blue Nation towards the Red Nation is no longer as arrogant as it was at the beginning.

The strong are always respected, and originally because of the lack of the number of brave people in the red country, this will make the people of the blue country look down on the red country. At this time, the brave man of the Red Country showed his strength, and the two consecutive victories also made the Blue Country put away his contempt and began to treat the Red Country seriously.

After the people of the Blue Country lost their initial pride, the two sides seemed to get along more harmoniously. However, after the easing of relations, the red country and the blue country have no intention of continuing in-depth exchanges on this issue.

Instead, they simply said hello, and the Red Country and the Blue Country each led their teams out of the island area. After all, the battle for the crown isn't over yet, and their opponents aren't just the other side.

After leaving the island area, the Red and Blue Regions also began to travel to different areas according to their own interests and concerns, taking advantage of the early end of the competition between each other to start scouting the combat power of other countries.

Because of the victory, the Red Nation needs to focus on the opponents who have shown their strength in the first round, as well as the strong teams that have always been able to make it to the end every year.

On the other hand, the first focus of the Blue Nation is on those countries that have been eliminated in the first round of the competition. These defeated teams will later become rivals in the Blue Nation for the only place in the repechage for the rest of the tournament.

The clock ticked by as the red and blue sides scouted each other, and after visiting a few competitive matches between other countries, the first day of the crown battle came to an end.

With the end of the first day, the winners of the first round of the crown battle have all been decided.

They are: Red Country with a win over Blue Country, Orange Country with a win over Green Country, Green Country with a win over Black Country, and Purple Country with a surprise 2-0 win over last year's winning team White Country with a very surprise 2-0 winning streak.

The four victorious national teams plus the lucky bye of Huang Zhiguo will play the second round of the crown battle on the third day of the tournament. The second day of the tournament was a repechage match between the four losing teams for the last place in the second round.

The day passed quickly in the first round of matches, and after the first day of competition, the various countries also received information about the victory and defeat of the game, and they had a certain understanding of which countries advanced and which countries entered the repechage.

And the result of the first round of this year's crown race was very surprising to almost all countries. And what surprised them were the two dark horses that stood out in the first round, the country of red and the country of purple.

Because Karina's sneak attack a few days ago has become the target of attention of all countries, it has also made all concerned countries clearly understand the predicament of the Red Country.

Compared to other countries, the Red Nation has only one-third of the summoned braves of other countries. After this unexpected information was known to various countries, the Red Country was completely ignored by them.

In the eyes of these countries, the Red Nation, which has only three brave men, has completely lost its hope of winning the championship. He has three times the number of brave warriors in the Red Country, and no matter what kind of game he encounters, it is impossible to lose to the Red Country.

However, just when these countries didn't take the red country in their eyes at all, the red country actually strangely relied on two brave men to sweep the blue country and advanced to the second round of the game with a strong advantage of two consecutive wins.

Although the Blue Country is also the bottom of the nine major countries, the Blue Country is indeed a veritable powerhouse at sea.

And now, the already doomed Red Country has defeated the Blue Country strongly, and according to rumors, they have defeated them in the naval battle that the Blue Country is best at. This makes other countries have to look at the Red Country a little more differently.

However, it was a surprise that the Red Country defeated the Blue Country, which was three times its size. But the Blue Country is a weak team after all, maybe it's just that the Blue Country is careless, or maybe the Red Country happens to have a brave man who is particularly good at naval warfare.

Therefore, after receiving the news of the victory of the Red Country over the Blue Country, although the other countries were a little surprised, this surprise did not last long. I was only slightly surprised by the strength of the Red Country, and then I put it down.

After all, there are only three people in the Red Country, and if there is a real chance to face each other, his side will not lose no matter what. Each national team believes that their country is not a weak team like the blue nation.

This is exactly how other countries feel after hearing about the victory of the Red Nation over the Blue Nation. They didn't feel that the strength of the Red Country would threaten them at all, and the number of people in the Red Country was there, so only the weakest Blue Country would lose to a fish belly team like the Red Country.

The victory over the Red Nation surprised them slightly, and then didn't care about it as a joke. The fact that the Purple Country defeated the White Country surprised these countries even more.

The White Country is not a weak team like the Blue Country, and the White Country is definitely one of the strongest title candidates in the crown race. However, such a strong white country, which has won the championship for several years in a row, actually failed.

Moreover, this defeat was not to the country of orange, which is also a powerful country, nor to the country of yellow, which has shown extraordinary momentum from the beginning, and not to the country of black, which has always been an old enemy, but to the country of purple, which is not well known.

The Purple Country does not have the momentum of a strong country like the White Country and the Orange Country, nor is it as weak as the Blue Country and the Red Country. Even the Purple Country has not achieved much in the past, and the Purple Country is the kind of mediocre country that is not up or down.

Since the start of the crown race, the Purple Country has not won the Crystal Crown once, and even the second round has rarely been won. Every time the battle for the crown is basically won, the first round is lost, and the second round is lost.

But this time, such a mediocre Purple Country actually defeated the consistent powerhouse White Country with two consecutive victories after facing the White Country in the first round. That's what surprised other countries the most.

Even the White Country can be defeated, so there must be a very powerful brave existence in this year's Purple Country. Could it be that this year will be the first year that the Purple Country has won the championship?

I can't say for sure for the time being, but at least the strength of the Purple Country has been noticed by other countries, and we must be vigilant when dealing with the Purple Country. Unconsciously, with the victory of the Purple Country, the attention of all countries was focused on the Purple Country, and instead ignored the Red Country, which was also victorious.
