However, in reality, there's no such thing as "if," especially in battles. Even the slightest gap is a real gap.

"Suppress the fire, everyone else follow me up to settle the fight!" Xu Xiaofeng shouted and then darted through the hail of bullets, seizing the moment when Wei Shuai and his team dared not reveal themselves, to quickly close in.

After this prolonged engagement, both sides have almost reached their limit of ammunition consumption. With empty ammo, what's next? Hand-to-hand combat?

And within nearly an hour, the distance between the two sides was successfully narrowed to within 500 meters. This distance is enough to overwhelm everyone, wipe out the other side, and then climb up the mountain to capture the flag.

Watching the thick smoke billowing from Wei Shuai's back, Shang Liben chuckled at Xiao Feng, "About half an hour more, and the battle should be over."

"No need, twenty minutes at most," Xiao Feng replied indifferently.

"Seems like you don't have enough confidence in your men. No worries, failure is common; you'll get used to it gradually," Shang Liben laughed, with great satisfaction.

Of course, in the eyes of the little girl and Lu Yao, he was asking for a beating.

Xiao Feng shook his head, "It's not a lack of confidence; on the contrary, I have too much faith in them. That's why I said the match will be over in twenty minutes."

Shang Liben was slightly stunned, suddenly having a bad premonition, because he meant twenty minutes to "end the battle," while the other said twenty minutes to "end the match," which is fundamentally different.

"What do you mean?" Shang Liben asked, looking displeased.

"It's quite obvious." Xiao Feng flashed a radiant smile, "Didn't you notice we've lost a person?"

Shang Liben thought for a while, then his eyes widened, "Are you talking about the one with the previous wolf howls and chicken cries?"

Xiao Feng didn't respond to that but said, "I believe you investigated my team members before, reminded your people to pay special attention to someone. So, if I let someone like Wei Shuai disappear, you'd immediately sense something amiss. Thus, I had to choose someone less conspicuous."

"So you're saying the timing of firing, the frontal engagement, was all your arrangement?" Shang Liben asked in a bit of a panic.

"Smart!" Xiao Feng praised unreservedly, "You're the smartest person I've ever met!"

However, this praise sounded like pure sarcasm.

Shang Liben took a deep breath and clapped his hands, "Good calculation. But, didn't you notice my team is also missing two people?"

"Noticed." Xiao Feng pointed to the big screen, "It's clearly shown there; you started with thirteen. Need to discover that? The missing two should be the ones you stationed to watch the flag, right?"

"..." Shang Liben was somewhat at a loss for words, fearing he might lose his cool and make a move against this irritatingly articulate guy.

As the saying goes, there's no harm without comparison. Suddenly, Shang Liben felt that being berated by the little girl and Lu Yao was quite a "blessing."

After all, they were two stunning beauties. The degree of their sharp words was limited. Unlike the guy in front of him, who might drive people insane with his words.

Currently, Shang Liben only hoped Xu Xiaofeng could quickly realize what's wrong, instead of presuming the missing person was stationed at the mountaintop watching the flag.

Yet it's unavoidable; nobody would have imagined Xiao Feng would be bold enough to pressure everyone, ignoring the crucial flag on the mountaintop that signifies victory.

"You're down to just five, while we have eight left. Still want to resist?" Xu Xiaofeng called out, as he hid behind cover replacing his magazine.

Wei Shuai defiantly responded, "There's a saying, the villain dies by talking too much. Don't you think you're blabbering too much?"

Xu Xiaofeng wasn't offended, and after reloading he smiled, "Who the villain is, isn't decided yet!"

In fact, Xu Xiaofeng wasn't usually talkative; victory was close at hand, making it hard for him not to flaunt a bit. It's a common flaw in everyone.

In the final round of engagement, Xu Xiaofeng straightforwardly adopted a "life-for-life" strategy, sacrificing four of his team members to take out five of theirs, including Wei Shuai.

"Buddy, nice shooting. Let's have a good drink later!" Xu Xiaofeng grinned, addressing Wei Shuai.

Wei Shuai nodded in agreement, then waved his hand, signaling the other party could proceed up the mountain. Though they were just fiercely fighting, now it seemed like they were friends.

Ultimately, there was no personal grievance; just differing stances. As enemies, they must fight.

But on the same side, they might just become good friends.

At this moment, Wei Shuai and others lay on the ground, panting heavily. An hour-long battle drained their energy and spirit immensely.

"Brother, can Old Yao, who is usually unreliable, manage this time?" Someone asked, panting while watching Xu Xiaofeng and others climbing the mountain non-stop.

"It's the only way now." Wei Shuai chuckled reluctantly, "At this point, our only option is to trust him."

Off the field, spectators began to leave their seats, as there's little suspense left in this duel.

Out of 15 people, Jiangcheng Team lost 14, leaving just one behind.

In contrast, New Wen Team, together with the 2 who didn't participate in the fight, still have 6 left.

In a 6 versus 1, unless deliberately losing, there's no way to lose!

Shang Liben also breathed a sigh of relief. Judging by Xu Xiaofeng and his team's speed, climbing the mountain would take five minutes. Besides, no one was guarding the flag at the top. The outcome would be clear in five minutes.

"Do you still think you can win?" Shang Liben asked, half-smirking as he looked at Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng retorted, "That question should be asked of yourself. Which flag do you think will be captured first?"

"Regardless of what we say, it's futile. Let the facts speak for themselves." Shang Liben replied with a relaxed smile.

In fact, Miao Yueqian was also uncertain at this moment. His nickname says it all, Old Yao was usually unreliable. It's hard to say whether he would continue being unreliable with the critical responsibility at hand.

"Now we can see New Wen Team reaching the mountaintop, only fifty meters away from victory, getting closer! Getting closer!" The commentator exclaimed excitedly, "Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters, the referee is ready to blow the whistle, the final winner is about to be revealed, New Wen Team won!"
