At this time, Ying Ci raised his eyebrows and said in a slightly impatient tone:

"If you think of something, just say it quickly. Don't play charades with us here."

Ling Chen squinted his eyes and smiled: "Shadow Thorn, your experience fills in the last piece of the puzzle. In this way, most things can be corrected."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid, An Ye has long been targeting the moment when Shadow Thorn wins the king's duel. Damn it! He's tricked me."

"So what you're saying is that because Shadow Sting defeated Scorpion Man, An Ye came to find you and deliberately lost?" Nana said with a somewhat surprised tone:

"In other words, Dark Night has probably been monitoring the movements of other teams and learned about Shadow Thorn's victory earlier than us?"

Ling Chen nodded and said, "That should be it. The red team probably has a special way of transmitting information and has already sent people to monitor Shadow Thorn."

"But what is this for?" Shadow Thorn suddenly said: "There seems to be no correlation between my victory and An Ye's deliberate defeat."

"Let's take a look at the current situation first. There is only one person left in the red team and the green team, and our blue team is still one victory short of victory." Ling Chen said:

"Under such circumstances, the premise of everything is that another king must be born, otherwise the basic conditions will not be met at all."

Nana said: "Yes, but the Scorpion Man of the green team was knocked down from the king level once and cannot climb back up. He is not a big threat for the time being."

"Yes, so the key to our final victory lies in the remaining member of the red team." Ling Chen said calmly:

"I haven't had any contact with this guy today, but do any of you know what level he is now?"

Nana said: "The remaining black man in the red team, right? I had a duel with him not long ago, and I lost. In order to transfer levels, he should have turned back into the lowest-level 'slave' to compete with me.

After you win, you will probably be at the 'civilian' level."

"Very good. In other words, the black people in the red team need to upgrade three more levels before they can become the new king." Ling Chen touched his chin and said:

"I only have one chance to lose, and Nana can lose two more times at her current slave level."

"Isn't that enough? There are exactly three opportunities in total. As long as you two deliberately compete with the black people on the red team and lose, this guy can be promoted to the king." Shadow Thorn said:

"Then I will defeat the opponent, and then I can successfully obtain the ticket to enter the Holy Land."

Hearing this, Lingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not speak. Instead, Nana was the first to speak:

"Since An Ye has brought about such a situation, we will definitely not pursue nothing. What you said, Shadow Thorn, can indeed bring things back to the original point, but I don't think it can go smoothly."

"Actually, there is no need to think too complicated. There is only one issue we need to pay attention to." Ling Chen smiled and said:

"That is, after experiencing a king's battle, do you have enough points to win the next one?"

Shadow Thorn was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I only have one point left now. If we compete with the next king right away, the chance of winning is indeed very low."

"That's right. Since you are not sure of winning, it's better to take advantage of this and strive for and maximize the value."

"What's the meaning?"

"In fact, judging from An Ye's behavior of deliberately losing to me, their red team is aiming at this, and they want Shadow Thorn to lose on purpose as well," Ling Chen said:

"Whoever defeats the king will be promoted to two levels in a row. Currently, the black man in the red team is a commoner. So if Nana and Shadow Thorn each lose to him once, they can also make him the king."

Shadow Thorn shook his head violently and said: "I don't agree. It's not easy to be promoted to the king level. There is no need to deliberately lose."

"I know your concerns, but before that, let's analyze the situation we are currently facing." Ling Chen lit a cigarette and said calmly:

"At the expense of Nana and I being disqualified, the black man on the red team can be promoted to king, but in that case, the chance of Shadow Thorn winning is slim..."

"Wait a minute." Shadow Thorn interrupted: "I can seize the time to accumulate points and strive to win."

"The problem now is that I'm afraid we don't have much time left." Ling Chen shook his head and said:

"There is a high possibility that the red team has now set out to our camp, intending to put pressure on us and make demands. It is difficult for you to accumulate points secretly."

Nana raised her hand and said, "Let me explain first, what are your plans next?"

"My current level is a noble, and because I defeated Dark Night, I have the count of defeating the king once." Ling Chen said:

"If Shadow Thorn deliberately loses and makes the black man on the red team become the king, then if I defeat him in the duel later, I can also get the number of victories in the second king's battle while being promoted to the king."

Nana's eyes flashed, and she suddenly realized:

"I see... If we do it this way, we do still have a chance to win. We don't have to stick to whether the king is Shadowthorn or you."

"That's right, and compared to the Shadow Thorn who almost spent all his points in the duel just now, I had been hunting before encountering the dark night, and I gained some points." Ling Chen said:

"Under such a premise, I think it is more beneficial for our blue team to give up the identity of the king and let me have the final showdown."

Ying Ci frowned, thought for a while and then said:

"However, in the situation you mentioned, only the red team has the king. If you win, you will achieve the final victory. On the contrary, if the black man on the red team wins, he will get nothing at all because you are only a noble."

Nana nodded when she heard this and said: "Yes, in that case, we are the ones who gain the greatest benefit. Why would the red team do this?"

"Don't forget that there is still one person in the green team who has not been disqualified. If we compete with this guy, once the black guy in the red team loses, the reset phase will probably be triggered." Ling Chen licked his lips and said:

"This is how I understand it. The biggest purpose of the red team is not to determine the final outcome now, but to create a situation through Dark Night's defeat that forces Shadow Thorn, the king, to lose once."

"Hmm? What happens after that? What's their next plan?"

"If Shadow Thorn loses, the black people on the red team will be promoted to the king and win a king's duel at the same time." Ling Chen said:

"At that time, the Scorpion man on the green team will most likely make a final struggle and try his best to reset the game."

"In this way, the level and victory count will be retained. Although the red team did not pay attention to hunting points from the beginning, they easily obtained the victory count of a king's duel." Nana understood Ling Chen.

After that, his face looked very solemn and he said:

"On the contrary, the green team, which had the greatest advantage before, is actually the team that is lagging behind. How is it possible... How could An Ye have calculated this from the beginning!?"

"No, you got the premise wrong." Ling Chen said:

"He didn't calculate to this point from the beginning, but in order to win, he must take all possible situations into consideration. I believe that Dark Night definitely has more than one preparation, it's just a matter of seeing which one can come in handy."
