3003 Heavy Blow
Fortunately, Lieutenant Colonel Saluk learned his lesson and avoided the awkwardness that followed.
He was very confident. But after the first two teams finished throwing their daggers, Lieutenant Colonel Saluk couldn’t maintain his smile anymore. Two teams, four SFS border defense soldiers… None of them hit their targets with their daggers!
When the third group went over, a total of two daggers. .h.i.t the targets. The judge and the military officer applauded and praised them. Lieutenant Colonel Saluk’s smile became a little more normal as he understood that the difficulty this time was really high.
In that case, the four daggers that the referee brought him to see just now… Which country and which partic.i.p.ant did it?
The Headgear Commando team from Italy?
The American amphibious a.s.sault team?
The commando team from Estonia?
Special Boat Squad from Great Britain?
Lieutenant Colonel Saluk, who was holding a dagger in his hand, jogged to the starting point of 50 meters. The thoughts in his mind were uncontrollable. As he thought about it, he thought of the Chinese partic.i.p.ants.
The Chinese soldiers that they looked down on had always been ahead of the SFS border defense army. No matter how hard he led his team, they were unable to surpa.s.s them.
They always thought that they would be able to surpa.s.s the Chinese soldiers in the next round. However, reality always told them that… the Chinese soldiers were ahead of them again.
THey thought that they would definitely surpa.s.s the Chinese again and again. In the end, they would learn from the referee and the military officer that the Chinese soldiers had already left.
Could it be… a Chinese partic.i.p.ant?
A guess flashed past his mind. Lieutenant Colonel Saluk shook his head violently. “No, that’s impossible. I shouldn’t think too much about it. I shouldn’t think that the Chinese soldiers are very powerful!”
He spoke in a low voice to convince himself.
Everyone knew that the SFS border defense soldiers were much stronger than the Chinese soldiers. He shouldn’t think that the Chinese soldiers had the ability to beat the SFS border defense soldiers. This was an insult to every soldier in the SFS border defense army!
So what if the Chinese soldiers surpa.s.sed them in terms of time?
The time did account for the scores, but the real victory lay in the actual number of points!
It didn’t matter if they were a little late. As long as they could beat the Chinese soldiers in actual points, it was fine.
As Lieutenant Colonel Saluk thought about this, he calmed down a lot. Very soon, he completed the Flying Daggers course. He successfully scored one point alone and won even more applause from the judges and military officials. They congratulated Lieutenant Colonel Saluk for his good results.
As compared to his off-target results, Lieutenant Colonel Saluk’s two daggers. .h.i.t the target. It was indeed not bad.
The members of the SFS border defense team also applauded Lieutenant Colonel Saluk. They looked at their team leader proudly. Their captain was a ‘sharpshooter.’ Although he didn’t score two points, it was already impressive.
However, they weren’t happy for long. Lieutenant Colonel Saluk asked which country’s partic.i.p.ant scored two points. After receiving the referee’s answer, the smile on Lieutenant Colonel Saluk’s face froze on the spot, and his face… turned green.
“The female soldier from China. She’s quite impressive. She’s the only partic.i.p.ant that got two points. She’s better than any male soldier.”
This was the referee’s reply to Lieutenant Colonel Saluk.
It was equivalent to an invisible and sharp dagger stabbing into Lieutenant Colonel Saluk’s chest. It stabbed until Lieutenant Colonel Saluk’s vision turned black.
The partic.i.p.ant was the female soldier from China. She was the only partic.i.p.ant who scored two points.
Why was it the Chinese soldiers?
How could these be the Chinese soldiers he looked down on?
If this continued, he couldn’t help but suspect that they weren’t as good as the Chinese soldiers…
