Chapter 50: Temporary Substitution

Battle of the Guardians, Group 3, Round 1.

Branco Town vs. Docklands.

The two boats entered their designated positions on the canal, and the boats in the dock area had their backs to the inner wall, taking advantage of the water, and the 12 oarsmen were ready to go, and the conductor Lynch was waiting for the order to start the race with two drumsticks in hand.

Eyes on both sides of the strait were focused on the big men standing at the bow of their respective ships, wearing regimental helmets, shirtless, knee-length leather leg guards around their waists, and metal boots on their feet. This outfit was the equipment of the early Legionnaires of the Empire, and now it looks a bit retro. The two men were armed with a five-meter-long riding spear, which was made of whole wood and was thin at the front and thick at the back, with a body of four meters in front of the handle. In the other hand, he holds a tower shield, which is used to defend against the opponent's cavalry spear stabbing fire.

The referee gave an order, Lynch's drum beat, 12 long oars fell neatly into the water, and the splash pushed the rowing boat forward at high speed, the two racing boats were 250 meters apart, according to the rowing speed of both sides, it only took more than ten seconds for the guardian on the platform to attack each other with a spear or attack the statue of the Virgin behind the guardian.

Ahsan stared at the rowing boat of Bronco Town coming from the left front, the other party's guardian Moya is also a veteran of many competitions like him, the awakened one is at the peak, tall and leg, and the strength is amazing, and most of the spectators on both sides of the strait are chanting Noah's name, which invisibly puts a lot of pressure on Ahsan.

As the two boats got closer and closer, Asang raised his spear, bowed his left leg forward and bent his right leg back, blocked his body with a tower shield, and stared at Moya with both eyes, calculating the best distance to shoot.

Jacques in the first row of the oarsmen paddled non-stop, looking up nervously at Ahsan on the platform. Suddenly, Jacques heard a slight change in the frequency of the conductor's drumming on the opposing ship, and at that moment, Ahsan stretched out his right arm and stabbed his rifle at Moya's helmet, which was slightly peeking from behind the tower shield.

Jacques, who heard the change in the drums of the Bronco, did not have time to warn Ahsan, only to see Ahsan stab his rifle at the same time as Bronco's oarsmen collectively stopped the oars and rowed back.

The speed of the opponent's ship decreased sharply, Ahsan stabbed the air with a shot, the tip of the spear slid along the edge of Moya's tower shield, Moya swung the shield square, Ahsan opened the door to reveal the flaw, Moya seized the opportunity, rode the spear forward, and hit Ahsan's ribs.

Ahsan was pushed out by a huge force and fell backwards into the water.

Team Bronku, win!

Lynch hurriedly beat the drum to order a slowdown, and the lifeguards on the referee boat jumped into the water and quickly picked up the unconscious Ahsan.

The rowing boats in the dock area docked to the shore, and everyone flocked to Ahsan, who was being treated by a doctor.

Moistened by the doctor's healing technique, Ahsan soon woke up.

"I broke three ribs and injured my lungs, and I can only treat them briefly here, and I need to be sent to the hospital for a senior doctor to reset the broken bones. He still needs to recuperate after the broken bones are replaced, and he is now unable to play. The doctor said.

The players looked at each other, there are at least four more games to be played in the group stage of the single round-robin, and now the most important guardian is injured and can't play, can they all admit defeat in the next four games?

Vice Captain Lynch also ran out of ideas, and a boatload of new Ding, who couldn't find a replacement for the Guardian.

"Either we'll throw in the towel in the next few games. Lynch said.

"Ahem!" Ahsan coughed for a while, and finally adjusted, and said: "It's too embarrassing to admit defeat! Ahem, you have to be laughed at by the sissies in the trade zone for a whole year! Ahem, we still have several awakened people, just go on any one, just use a shield to protect yourself, you can't admit defeat in vain! Ahem......

The other Awoke, old and young, Lynch had to look at the red-haired Harrison.

Unexpectedly, Harrison immediately said: "I can't! I've never fought, you know, I eat by mouth, it's better to let Jacques this kid, he's a top student of Eve Academy! You can see his body, it's quite strong!"

Jacques wanted to refuse, but he couldn't find a reason, but he had some expectation and excitement in his heart.

The others didn't have any opinions, and hurriedly helped Ahsan take off his protective gear and hand it to Jacques. In order to maintain the balance of the left and right paddles, the big fat Luz did not need to get on the boat, and the oarsmen became 10 people.

Jacques took off his yellow waistcoat, fastened his leather legs, and put on metal boots, but when it came time to put on the helmet, he found that Ahsan's helmet was too big, and Jacques not only shook it, but also covered his eyes. The referee informed the docks that the rows were in place as soon as possible for the next round. Jacques didn't have time to find a suitable helmet, so he simply didn't bring it anymore, grabbed his riding gun, grabbed his tower shield, and hurried aboard.

As he walked past the first row of oarsmen, Jacques had taken his place in Sammy's place, and Sammy patted Jacques on the shoulder to cheer him on. Harrison grabbed Jacques and whispered to him, "I know you can open the Eight Winds Refining Body, don't worry about it, don't violate the rules, it doesn't count as a source energy skill." If you want the chicks on the high platform to like you, do your best to win against them! The chicks like the winner!" Harrison also pouted Alyssa and Emma's positions.

Jacques didn't have time to explain, so he could only hurriedly jump onto the platform and prepare.

In the second round against the town of Ripol, the docklands are still in a good position.

The rowing boat slowly sailed towards the preparation area.

Lily, who sat at the top of the stands in the VIP area, had actually been absent-minded about the Battle of the Guardians.

Recently, there are always people who remind her of her marriage engagement with Robert, whether she participates in any event, will be arranged next to Robert, and everyone's topic is always about the two of them. Lily didn't like it, so she and her best friend went to the northern Rand to escape the summer, and it was not until the Guardian Virgin's Day that they had to return to Port Mousse, and when they returned, they were arranged to sit with Robert again.

If it was Lily three years ago, she would be very excited to think of marrying someone and marrying Robert, and she would feel that everything should be like this, and she would be happy in the future if she married him.

However, since breaking through to become a shaper, Lily has become more and more unwilling to marry like this, she is still young, there are still many things to do, there are still many places that have not been visited, and countless landscapes, countless adventures, countless possibilities, are waiting for her.

Will you marry like this? Husband and child, will she become a countess in the future, and she will become the object of envy and envy of those women in the audience?

She hasn't figured it out yet, so how should she choose?

Lily's mind was messy, and she didn't care about Robert about what inventions were going to be showcased.

Until a back appeared in her empty eyes, unkempt blonde hair, well-proportioned physique, holding a riding spear, propping up a tower shield, and standing on the platform at the bow of the ship with his back to her.

She leaned forward, trying to see if the figure was the person she thought it was.

The man turned his head and said something to the oarsmen, then he looked up at the podium.

The eyes are facing each other.

It's him!

My stupid apprentice, how could he be there?
