Chapter 11: The Crimson Girl
The morning after a day's separation. www.biquge.info The second game of Leonard's team is about to start in the Colosseum. When the group entered the arena and took their seats in the players' rest area.
I saw a young man with an unusually strong physique, very muscular muscles, wearing a hard armor vest made of beast leather, bald head, and charcoal-like black skin, holding a steel rod with the same length as his own body in his right hand;
It is a giant longhorned herbivore that resembles a rhinoceros in size and appearance.
The young man could not suppress the resentment in his heart, and continued to look unusually ugly and pointed at Bran's nose excitedly: "You are so disgusting!--what do you think of our Crimson Flame? You're still the president's son!"
When Bran heard this, he stood up and replied loudly, "Parker." Didn't I make it clear before I left? I'm going to join Tina's team for the time being in the Arena's team competition. ”
When Parker heard this, his emotions became more and more excited, and he pointed at Bran's nose and reprimanded him more and more: "What is that!? You know, but we are part of the Crimson Flame!--The strongest mercenary group in Bagram!The champion of the last competition!The Crimson Flame--Our mercenary group, which was formed by the president himself, represents the supreme honor of the Bagram Mercenary Association!--Have you forgotten all this honor?"
Seeing this, Leonard stood up with bad intentions, walked to Bran's side with a smile, and asked in a low voice, "Bran, is this person your teammate?"
Bran's answer left Leonard speechless: "It used to be." Today, he's just an opponent for me. ”
Immediately afterward, Bran told Parker in a loud voice, "That's why I'm leaving Crimson Flame." Crimson Flame, as the strongest mercenary group in our Bagram, has won too many honors as the guild leader's personal establishment. We've been lying asleep in this honor book for far too long. Winning this event becomes a natural burden. When losing the title of champion gradually becomes an unacceptable shame.
When we win championships just for the sake of the championship, and get glory for the sake of glory. All of this is no longer a pleasure and a responsibility, but has unconsciously become a coping and perfunctory. Remember the masters of the First Army of the Republic of Vosfitta who beat us to the ground at the Arena of King Klein (the largest arena in the Republic of Vosfitta)?
Republic of Vosfitta also sent five players to the tournament this time. Are we going to lose to each other?, and in the last final, if it weren't for the fact that the president had joined us in the last match, Crimson Flame was the last to play. Will just a few of us win the championship? Will we have to come forward to help us win the championship this time?" Bula had come to realize that relying on his father's achievements meant nothing to him.
Andy didn't know when he had already paced in front of Bran and the others, and nodded his head, fully agreeing with his son's statement: "That's a good point." Bran, you have indeed grown up. I definitely won't interfere in this tournament again. It's time for Crimson Flame to use the younger generation's own strength to win the competition. ”
When Leonard heard this, he hurriedly asked, "President, you don't represent Crimson Flame in the competition. So how can we challenge you in the final match?" Howling listened to the Great Swordsman's words, and then stood up as well, and set his eyes on Andy.
When Andy heard this, he turned around, faced Leonard and howled and replied, "I promised you that I would not break my promise." No matter which team wins the championship, as long as they win the championship. I will accept their challenge individually. And that's not part of the tournament schedule. ”
Seeing this, Parker continued Leonard's words, "President. Even as Bran puts it. There's no reason for him to leave Crimson Flame. What's more, Crimson Flame is still a team of mercenaries that you have personally assembled. ”
Bran took over the conversation and explained to Parker in detail on Andy's behalf: "That's because Crimson Flame is just a name for me, and it is also an obstacle that represents the glory of my father's generation, which shackles me, blocks me, and must overcome the past. I usually work and train in the Mercenary Guild's arena, and I don't go on missions with you Crimson Flame, but when the tournament comes, I will participate in the tournament with you and serve as your captain.
Don't you think this kind of thing is very unreasonable, and it is very unfair to your captain Angeline, and besides, Tina and Hanks' teams have missed the last tournament and participated in the competition for the first time due to the lack of numbers. In the past, Miss Crotty, who was a member of the Crimson Flame, also did not participate in the team competition in the arena for many times.
This year, there is another team that is unusually difficult to deal with, from the Republic of Vosfeta. So, in order to preserve the honor of the Mercenary Guild and my personal considerations. I decided to participate in the team competition in the arena with Tina and Crotty this year. ”
Parker's face was so ugly that he was speechless, and he raised his rod to Bran's nose and yelled excitedly, "You guy... Do you mean to look down on us Crimson Flame!?-"
Seeing this, Bran's face did not show any emotional fluctuations, his tone was extremely calm, and he replied with a serious attitude: "You can also say the same." I don't think Crimson Flame will be able to come out on top without the help of the President. Parker, if you don't think so, prove it by defeating us with your own strength. ”
When Leonard heard this, he was very dissatisfied with Brand's remarks about cheering Parker, so he leaned over to the president's son and whispered, "Bran, I agree with the first two sentences you said. As for what I'm talking about, we should have defeated them, right? Don't you want to release the water?"
Bran turned around, slapped Leonard on the shoulder, and replied with a smile, "It's just to comfort the opponent." Of course I'm going to do everything I can to beat them. At the same time, he thought to himself, "You kid is really not easy to deal with." The Great Swordsman slapped the leader's son on the shoulder and shrugged the back of his new teammate, his face showing a knowing smile, and he seemed to be a good brother and sister to win people's hearts.
Seeing this, Parker had already put down the steel rod in his hand, but he was still so angry that he couldn't say anything: "You guy-..."
At this time, I saw a woman dressed in an unusually splendid and crimson dress, with a huge, peach-colored bow tied on her chest, a beautiful crimson hairpin on a short hair that was also pink, a pair of sky-blue clear pupils set on a pair of bright big eyes, and a fair-skinned girl stepping on two crimson dancing shoes, walking lightly behind Parker;
patted his teammate on the shoulder, looked at Bran on the other side, and said unhurriedly: "Bran, since you have broken your mind." Then our Crimson Flame will be your opponent from now on. We will defeat you. Use our strength to make you regret betraying Crimson Flame. ”
Bran also looked at Angelie, for fear that he would be caught by Leonard's braid if he said something wrong, so he introduced the great swordsman beside him: "Angelie, this Leonard is our captain." You should challenge him. ”
Angelie paid no attention to what Bran had said, nor did she even glance at Leonard, and said, "Parker, let's go...", and she led Parker back to their half. Seeing this, Leonard, who had been closely watching Captain Crimson's actions, couldn't help but raise his forearms to shoulder height, palms facing up, shaking his head, his eyebrows up, shrugged his shoulders, and pouted in a posture that was completely incomprehensible to the other party.
Seeing this, Tina, who was standing on the sidelines, felt quite embarrassed by the performance of her two men, so she reminded them loudly: "We are also going to enter the game." - "Next, Leonard's team faced off against Crimson Flame, and five players from each side entered the arena. Let's start with Crimson Flame: all the players are in the field. There wasn't even a substitute in the rest area, so no wonder Parker was so angry.
Leonard's side: Both the Great Swordsman and Bran asked to start. Next up were Tina and Hanks. Then he was out of the middle of the last game, and the howl that was not yet enjoyable also strode into the game field. Crotty and Kevin are on the bench. As for Mel, due to his right wrist injury, he was wearing civilian clothes and bandages and sitting in the audience to watch the game.
With the sound of a gong and drum, the game officially began. The two sides opened up positions near the midline. Leonard's side: Howl in front of the head, followed by the Great Swordsman and Bran, and Tina and the Hanks queen who guarded her.
Crimson Flame's side: Parker bursts forward as the vanguard. A tall man, unusually strong, carrying a huge heavy sword on his right shoulder, wearing red leather armor, and a very athletic looking female swordsman with a handsome face, wearing animal skin armor, holding two half-moon scimitars, long black ponytail hair, and a handsome face. Angelie was at the back of the hall with a young mage dressed in brown and black mage robes, wearing a cloak and holding a staff of Aoki.
As he entered, Bran whispered to his teammates about his opponent's characteristics: "Parker is good at one-to-many stick skills, and he specializes in defusing the opponent's siege. The big man was Ryoma, a single warrior of pure strength and hand-to-hand combat. Next to him is Carly, who is extremely fast and agile and is responsible for containing and assassinating. Standing alongside Angelie is the Mage Duodu, who specializes in defensive and trap spells.
The one who needs to pay attention to the most is Angeline. She is a master of illusion, and is good at creating illusions and illusions, confusion and demagogy. You must keep at least 10 meters away from her. ”
Hearing this, Hanks walked up to Bran, drew a dagger from his armband, and whispered in a rather unfriendly tone: "I don't care what my opponent is. If you dare to release the water, I won't spare you. ”
None of his teammates responded positively to what Bran said. Only Leonard approached and patted the president's son on the shoulder and explained, "Bran, we're not the kind of team that will do anything to win the championship. Soldiers and mercenaries have to have their own self-esteem and pride. So we all appreciate your kindness. "It turned out that when the Great Swordsman heard this, he immediately asked Tina to use a spell to temporarily cover everyone's hearing.
Then, as soon as the game began, Howl rushed forward and slammed an axe into Parker's oncoming steel rod. A violent shockwave exploded from where the blades intersected. Howl and Parker each took two steps back before they steadied themselves.
Leonard also ran calmly to Ryoma's approach. Seeing this, the giant man raised his giant sword with both hands and slashed at the great swordsman. Click. Rubble scattered and dust flew out. Leonard dodged the blow with ease. The greatsword in Ryoma's hand shattered a piece of the arena's marble floor with a single blow, digging deep into the soil below. Seeing this, the giant man was extremely nervous, and immediately grasped the hilt of the sword with his own hands, and began to pull it vigorously.
Seeing this, Carly, who was standing side by side with Ryoma, immediately turned her head and reprimanded her teammates harshly: "Ryoma, why are you always like this!? No wonder it's a substitute who has been sitting on the cold bench for a thousand years!" At this moment, Leonard thought that his opportunity had come, and raised his sword with both hands to the giant man in front of him to make a move. Carly quickly pressed the Great Swordsman from the sidelines, trying to contain her opponent's movements.
Suddenly, Bran took an arrow step, sprinted forward to block Carly's way, and asked the other party, "Didn't Angelie formulate your tactics for today?"
When Carly heard this, she was filled with anger and couldn't help herself and jumped into the air, waved the double knife in her hand, aimed at Bran and slashed down, completely forgetting to care about Ma Long: "It's all you, a negative man and a traitor, who caused Lord Angelie to sleep and eat, where is the energy to formulate tactics?"
At this time, Howl and Parker were standing in the center of the arena, going back and forth, axes and sticks, and fighting as if no one else was fighting, desperately venting their extraordinary energy. Bang bang! bang...
Leonard raised the saber in his hand to his face, his eyes fixed intently on Ryoma, who was facing the blade, and said silently: "Just as Miss Crotty taught, hold your breath and concentrate with all your attention..." Several bright, dazzling, twisted and twisted sparks of light blue arcs emerged from the blade wrapped in cotton cloth before the great swordsman's eyes, and wrapped around it.
Faced with such a situation, Leonard, who used this trick for the first time, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, and couldn't help but glance back at Crotty. Seeing this, the elven female swordsman immediately stood up like a stern instructor, stared at the great swordsman with her eyes, stretched out her hand and pointed at Ryoma and reminded loudly: "Don't hesitate, let it go!"
Leonard immediately turned his head, raised his sword in both hands, and aimed at the greatsword that Ryoma was drawing violently, and swung it with all his might, and shouted: "The sword is dragged and thundered!-" Bang Bang! Bang Bang... With one thunderous roar after another.
One after another, light blue thunder light was released from the blade in the great swordsman's hand, passing a distance of several meters, and hitting the target one after another. Since all swords and other weapons release air-based attack moves that are spell energy, they are considered to be lethal spells by the rules of the tournament, and it is forbidden to cast them directly on players.
The five rays of lightning released from Leonard's blade all hit the giant sword held by Ryoma one after another. The giant man immediately screamed miserably: "Uhh Although this person is huge, if he stands still and uses his body to resist the opponent's full strength, he will still be severely damaged.
Seeing this, Leonard rushed forward without the slightest hesitation, flew up and kicked Ryoma's waist as he stood stiffly. The giant man then fell to the ground like an iron tower, foaming at the mouth and fainting.
Then he closed one of his eyes and looked back at Crotty, stretched out his right arm, and gave his right thumb up in thanking him for his teaching. Seeing this, the elven female swordsman who had been standing outside the arena also smiled at Leonard, stretched out her right arm, raised her right thumb with her right hand, and nodded her head to show her approval of the other party's efforts, and then sat back in her seat.
At the same moment, Bran held the sword in his right hand against him, and was knocked to the ground by Carly's twin swords, and hurriedly stepped back twice in succession, defending himself: "What a bad man? Angelie is just my childhood sweetheart's little sister...", but it was obvious that his face turned red unconsciously when he said this.
Seeing this, Tina tells Hanks, "Hanks, go and warn Bran." I look at him like that, there is no way to continue fighting. ”
Hanks received the order as he ran straight at Bran as fast as he could: "Yes." ”
Carly listened to Bran's explanation, but was not moved in the slightest, but once again jumped into the air with a fierce look, raised her knife and slashed the chief's son, and scolded: "You uninteresting and wooden-headed idiot, let me die directly!" Seeing this, Bran panicked and raised the metal composite longbow he was carrying behind him with both hands, and resisted it.
At this moment, Hanks suddenly stood up in front of Bran, held a dagger in his right hand, and struck two lightning blows, blocking the twin blades that Carly had chopped, and in an extremely cold tone he advised the president's son behind him: "Don't release the water, go down quickly." ”
After listening to the advice, Bran also knew that his mind was in turmoil, so he called out a substitution, and retreated to the sidelines: "Pause! substitution!-" Then Crotty came on his own side and walked straight to Tina's side.
Hanks and Carly stared at each other intensely, confronting each other in constant footsteps to the left and right. Then, just as the two were about to make a move. With a shhh, the referee's whistle sounded. On the other side of the arena, Ryoma, who fell to the ground, was declared out. Immediately afterwards, four on-site staff rushed into the venue carrying a huge wooden single frame. They put the giant man on a single rack and carried him out of the arena. Then the game was able to continue.
