Chapter 155: Entering the Quarterfinals
The attacks of the two Great Swordsman-level archers were simply not something that the opponent's fifth-level defensive magic could resist. The magic defense shield www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion is constantly being breached, and the four warriors have to constantly use their fighting energy to dial the sharp arrows that attack in, and at the same time, they also have to get rid of the interference of the fifth-level restrictive magic, and when they are about to get closer, their energy and physical strength are greatly consumed, and the other party's dwarven warriors are waiting for their arrival.
At this point, except for the two dwarven warriors who did not move, the two archers and the archmage began to retreat, steadily retreating and closing the distance while continuing the attack just now. Seeing this situation, all the high-ranking martial artists watching the battle frowned, how can such a tactic be cracked?
Sure enough, the two energetic dwarven warriors and the four great swordsmen who had consumed a lot of money on the other side began a hand-to-hand engagement, but they were overwhelmed by the sneak attack of the two archers beside them. First, the Great Mage, who had been defending all along, was defeated by the opponent's archers and lost his ability to fight. Subsequently, with the help of the Great Magician's Restriction Magic, the four warriors were defeated one after another.
The battle was over, and the Elven Kingdom team without Princess Aslia easily defeated the Light Kingdom team, which was the fourth place in the previous session. Although I don't know if the Bright Kingdom team has hidden strength, this result still makes many people ponder.
This match allowed the Freemasons to finally see the role of archers in team fights. The archer may not be the most powerful class, but in this head-on confrontation, the archer's ranged attacks are too powerful. Everyone invariably thought of the current Assassins, who could be a profession that could limit or threaten archers. Then there are the knights, and the knights with the Warcraft mount are not afraid of the archers, but the premise is to have a full set of knight equipment, and this kind of knight equipment can only be created by the dwarves. Thinking about the relationship between the dwarves and the elves, everyone understands the difficulty.
Tumen and Rafel regretted it a little. They felt that they should not have stopped studying the bow and arrow-making techniques taught by the Empire in the first place, although the production efficiency was very low, but it was better than nothing. It is not necessary to stiffen the relationship with the elves, although the cost is very high, but at least it can retain a channel for purchasing bows and arrows.
The two of them talked again and studied countermeasures, because if there was no accident, in the quarterfinals, the Bright Kingdom Academy team would encounter the Detulai Imperial Demon Martial Arts Academy team led by Sun Xiang, and they would also encounter the threat of archers.
Then everyone rested for a day, and with two days of rest, the injuries of those wounded would recover.
The second round began. The two swordsman-level figures, Sun Xiang and Princess Aslia, did not appear again, and the competition finally started at the Great Swordsman level. Xiaoling is only in the early stage of the Great Magician, and she is also a wood and water magician, and her restrictions are stronger than those in attack, so she didn't play.
When the second round of the competition ended, the situation was half clear, and the strength of the five academies of the Tetulai Imperial Demon Martial Academy, the Elven Kingdom Academy, the Fatrasi Imperial Demon Martial Academy, the Incalan Imperial Demon Martial Academy, and the Bright Kingdom Academy was significantly stronger, and there was no problem in entering the top eight. The competition for the remaining three spots is fierce.
Another few days passed, and the vigorous group stage finally came to an end.
In the third group, the Turat Imperial Demon Academy team and the Danrith Kingdom Academy team entered the quarterfinals as the top two teams in the group, the former will face the second place in the fourth group, the Bright Kingdom Academy team, and the latter sadly met the Elven Kingdom Academy team. The Fatrasi Imperial Magic Academy team and the Incaran Imperial Magic Academy team also won the first place in the group unsurprisingly.
After two more days of rest, the knockout rounds of the quarterfinals kicked off in a large martial arts arena, while the qualifying rounds for the ninth to sixteenth place were moved to other martial arts venues in the academy. Win or lose, not many people care about their game anymore.
All four quarterfinals will be played today, the match between the Detulai Imperial Demon Martial Academy team and the Elven Kingdom Academy team will be played in the afternoon, and Sun Xiang will play the first game of the afternoon with the Guangming Kingdom team.
There was no suspense in the morning match, and the Academy teams of the Fatrasi Empire and the Ingkaran Empire all won the game comfortably and made it to the semi-finals.
Before the start of the afternoon game, all the high-ranking Freemasons came to the VIP seats, and they all wanted to see what role a team with only one archer could play in this team battle.
This match caused a sensation in the capital, because it was the most interesting game among the four games today, and it was also the closest match. Due to the excellent publicity work of this competition, everyone has an understanding of the last competition, and knows that the team of the Turai Imperial Demon Martial Arts Academy narrowly defeated the team of the Bright Kingdom Academy to win the third place.
This time the old rivals met again, and everyone was looking forward to it. In order to satisfy the wishes of those who could not enter the stadium, the Imperial Magic Academy of the Testulato erected a huge magical curtain wall outside the large arena to broadcast the matches inside.
This move of the Imperial Demon Academy was immediately applauded, and a large number of spectators gathered under the magic curtain wall, who were always watching the progress of the game inside.
Sun Xiang played in person, and except for Xiaoling, the other three who played with him were different from the first game. There was John Xia, as well as another great mage and a great swordsman, which was arranged by Macaron, and it was said that he would strive to give each member of the team a chance to fight alongside Sun Xiang.
The lineup of the representative team of the Bright Kingdom Academy was adjusted again, sending a lineup of three great magicians and two great swordsmen. Their captain is called Cannao, and he has the strength of the late Great Swordsman.
At this time, his eyes were full of murderous aura when he looked at the team of the Etullai Imperial Demon Martial Academy, which made Sun Xiang vigilant. He can't let his teammates be hurt, not because he is afraid of attrition in the following games, but mainly because he is afraid that the team of the Bright Kingdom Academy will be ruthless and abolish his teammates.
In those competitions between the Kingdom Academy teams, in order to compete for a place or a good ranking, the battle was very fierce, and serious injuries had already occurred, and I heard that the injuries of two people had affected their cultivation in the future. Although there will be many referees on hand to protect those participants in every game, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is inevitable that the first aid will not be timely.
The race is on. Sun Xiang didn't take out his bow and arrows, but casually released a sixth-level defensive magic to protect everyone, and then led the team to start approaching each other. Neither Xiaoling nor the great magician released their magic, but everyone saw that the two of them were also preparing.
Sun Xiang's magic was released too fast, his magic had already been completed, and the magic prepared by the three great magicians of the Bright Kingdom Academy team had only just reached two-thirds of the time. This made all the high-ranking members of the Freemasons look surprised, and even the sages of the Tetulai Empire were equally surprised when they saw Sun Xiang use magic for the first time.
You must know that Sun Xiang released a sixth-level magic, while the opponent released a fifth-level magic, so theoretically it should be faster than Sun Xiang.
The two mages on the team of the Kingdom of Light Academy finally released their defensive magic, stacking their defensive shields, and another mage was also preparing.
Soon the two sides entered the range of the magic attack, and the magic bombardment began, and the other party's magician released a fifth-level magic fire dragon. He is the mid-stage strength of the Great Magician, and the magical energy contained in the fire dragon is relatively strong. Xiao Ling released a fifth-level water magic, and met the fire dragon in mid-air, due to a small step in strength, Xiao Ling's magic did not consume all the fire dragons, and a small part of the fire dragons hit Sun Xiang's protective shield, which was easily blocked by the protective shield.
Another great magician of Sun Xiang's clan also unleashed a fire dragon that struck the magic shield of the Bright Kingdom clan without any hindrance. This mage is also the strength of the middle stage of the Great Mage, and the two mages on the other side are both in the early stage of the Great Mage, but their shields are superimposed. Therefore, although the fire dragon's attack was not blocked, it did not break through this superimposed protective shield, but only weakened one-third of the protective shield's energy.
This one-third of the consumption was enough for Sun Xiang, and his four sharp arrows had already arrived, and they immediately broke through the opponent's protective shield.
The sixth-level magic was already long-lasting, and releasing it a third earlier was enough for Sun Xiang's team to take the lead.
At this time, the effect of Sun Xiang's clan's sixth-level defensive magic had not disappeared. Sun Xiang immediately unleashed a level 6 meteorite rain to attack the opposing team without the protection of the magic shield, and Xiaoling and her fellow magicians began to prepare for defensive magic, while Sun Xiang also stopped the team from continuing and stopped. He has to use magic and a bow and arrow to defeat the opponent and not give them a chance to get closer, lest his teammates have an accident.
Seeing that the sixth-level magic meteorite rain had formed, the three great magicians of the Bright Kingdom Academy immediately sped up the time for magic preparation. When a large number of stones fell on their heads like rain, their magic defense shield had just formed, not only was it not stable enough, but it also did not form a superposition, and the "boom" and "bang" magic defense cover was broken in an instant, and a small amount of rubble smashed towards the five opponents.
