Chapter 1979: Battle Trials in the Dawn (14)
"Are you alright?" Seeing Albert fall to the ground after being flanked, the cat-man boy Mutt came over to check on the tiger's condition with concern.
"It's okay, don't be nosy. There wasn't much pain in his body, but Albert felt so angry that he got up from the ground and involuntarily vented his anger on Mutter in words.
Mutt frowned, didn't speak, and was probably angry.
It's really annoying. Albert looked at the elves in the distance. The elves are really impeccable, and their hearing and vision are many times more agile than ordinary people, which means that every elf on the field has a way to easily grasp the actions of every player on the field. Of course, it is impossible to deceive the elves with all kinds of noise, and no matter which side Albert and they attack from, the elves have been monitoring their movements, and the attacks will be intercepted by the elves at the beginning.
Of course, this is not a great ability------ compared to the monsters that Albert and they have encountered in previous events------ but it is precisely because the elves' abilities are ordinary but real, so there is no way to crack it.
Especially the guy from Thor. Although this is not a battlefield, just a stadium, Thor, the elven prince of the Round Table, is still indescribably powerful. It is not the strength of the warriors who simply dance with swords and swords, but the superior physical fitness, amazing agility, amazing reflexes, and even extraordinary perception ability that they possess as a strong man.
Damn it. Are the Knights of the Round Table all such monsters?!
On the field, Thor, who is wearing a demon bracelet, may not even show one percent of his true strength, but he can still suppress Albert on the field so far, and even everyone in the Sphynx team so far. In this game, does the Sphynx team still have a chance to win?!
"Don't you use that trick?" asked Albert before he could walk back into his camp, and the elven prince Thor and the tiger passed by, "What is that trick called...... [Sandstorm Divine Walk]?"
The young tiger man gave Thor the Knight of the Round Table a blank look and did not answer.
"Hurry up and use it. Thor advised, "If you don't use it, you're going to lose the game." "
"Bothering you. Albert replied viciously, though he knew that what he said was not provocative------ elegant elves would never make such a provocative faux pas as provocative.
"What the hell should I do next?" Albert questioned Captain Shiloma once more as the team assembled.
"Just act when you have the opportunity. Shilomar still didn't answer any of Albert's questions.
"We only have two offensive opportunities left, and if we can't advance ten yards, the offensive will be in their hands!" Albert asked, a little urgently.
"In short, act on the opportunistic. Shiloma repeated again and again.
Albert muttered and didn't say anything more. Although it was his fault that he didn't memorize the code, Captain Shiloma gave him some hints that he would die? There were no hints, and he blindly "acted on the opportunity", so that Albert, who was in charge of attacking with the ball, would be under a lot of pressure!
Still, keep the game going. The young tiger man only hopes that Captain Xiloma really has a way to reverse the situation of the battle, and he can't be suppressed by those elves all the time, right?!
Kickoff. The remaining two offensive opportunities must not be wasted, and the Sphinx team here has obviously adopted a more prudent strategy, relying on a slight advantage in offensive and defensive strength to force a breakthrough. As soon as the kick-off was kick-off, center Gusta passed the ball to Hiloma, and he pressed forward with the entire offensive line, relying on the brute force unique to the orcs to advance two yards!
"Very good!" Xiloma followed closely behind Gusta, using his own strength to resist Gusta's back, strengthening the advance of the offensive line: "Advance like this!"
This time, the Sphinx's human wall was arranged in an extraordinarily tight line, like a strong shield to protect Shiloma with the ball. Although they were also blocked by the elves with all their might, and it was extremely difficult to advance, they also saved a lot of trouble because of the tight defense, at least they didn't have to worry about the elven prince Thor attacking from the flanks and coming to snatch the ball from Shiloma's hands.
But the muddy progress is too ugly. Albert watched from the sidelines, expecting Hiloma to find an opportunity to pass him to the flank. Hiloma, however, marched and retreated with the entire offensive and defensive line, and refused to pass the ball until the entire human wall collapsed weakly after the stalemate!
"Third gear!" The moment Shiloma landed with the ball, the referee blew the whistle: "Sphinx, three yards forward!"
It's a tedious and tedious push, and it's extremely strenuous. But it managed to advance three yards. The Sphinx used up the first three gears for a total of eight yards, and the two more yards were needed to get another four offensive chances. If you use the same tactics to advance steadily, it shouldn't be difficult to advance a few more yards in the next attack.
But is this really good? Albert looked at the bottom line deep in the enemy line. The game started for so long, but the speed of the Sphynx team's advance can only be described as turtle speed, so slowly advancing, how long will it take for a touchdown?
He turned his eyes to look at the Sphinx's offensive defense. The seven orcs who were mainly responsible for forming the human wall were already sweating profusely and panting. Of course, relying on brute force to force forward is a very physically exhausting act.
But why did the elves look so calm and nonchalant? Albert wondered. Then he figured it out right away. Although the strength of each of the elves is not as good as that of the orcs of the Sphinx team, the elves have an absolute advantage in numbers with their strength against the orcs just now.
On the Sphinx's side, the offensive defense of the six plus quarterback Hiloma, a total of seven, is pushing forward with brute force. Neither Albert nor Mutter were involved in the attack and stood by;
On the elves' side, there are many guards who are responsible for defense, and there are at least nine people who formed a human wall to defend against the attack. The numerical superiority was an absolute benefit to them, and the strength of seven men could not outweigh nine men in any case, unless it took extra physical effort.
But...... Since the Sultan Arrows are defending with nine men, isn't their defense line weak?
No, not really. Because the elves have the advantage of vision and hearing, they still have a lot of spare strength to defend against sneak attacks on the flanks while assigning extra men to attack the Sphinx frontally. Although the number of people in charge of defense seemed to be small for a while, they could easily know the every move of Albert and the others on the other side of the wall. If Albert sneaks in from the flank with the ball, all the elves have to do is give up the defense of the human wall in an instant and scatter to block the tiger youth.
So the elves of the Sultan's arrows are invulnerable. They clearly know the actions of everyone on the court, and they have a lot of room for adaptation. Whether it's defending head-on or guarding against sneak attacks, the elves can handle it with ease.
On the other hand, the Sphinx team can only rely on the "stupid method" that they are using now to consume their huge physical strength and fight each other hard. Sooner or later, the players in the offensive and defensive line will be drained of their physical strength. Especially in the center of the offensive line, the center of the line, Gusta.
Albert couldn't help but look at Gusta's appearance with concern again. I don't know if it's a delusion or a real thing, he seems to be able to see a faint blood red oozing from Gusta's armored chest, and the blood red is almost mixed with the bright red jersey of the Sphinx team today, shrouded in an ominous atmosphere.
The Sphinx took advantage of the opportunity in fourth gear to push forward another three yards, and finally managed to get eleven yards and get another fourth offensive opportunity.
However, they are still a long, far way from the bottom line of the enemy line. Fools know that if you advance little by little like this, you will definitely not be able to persevere.
It's about fifty yards. If only Albert could use [Divine Concealment] for a long time and run these fifty yards in one sitting. Unfortunately, [Divine Concealment] is not such a convenient and easy-to-use move, and Albert still finds it difficult to use it freely with his own consciousness.
At least a dozen yards closer should be closer...... Or, find an opportunity for Albert to get the ball around for a while, and there's still a good chance of winning.
But the tiger man also noticed a gaze that had been watching him. Thor, the Knight of the Round Table, never left Albert with his eyes, and had been staring at the tiger from the beginning of the game. I'm afraid Thor won't let Albert activate [Shen Yin] at all, once the ball is handed to the Tiger Youth, before Albert successfully launches [Shen Yin], Thor will rush over like a falcon and take the ball away in an instant. Unless someone diverts Thor's attention------ even a thousandth of a second------ Albert won't even have a chance to activate [Divine Concealment]!
The cat-man boy Mutter frowned on the sidelines.
"When will the [starry sky] tactics be executed?" he asked Shilomar.
"Bear with me, and you'll do it when you have the chance. The quarterback replied.
This was obviously a code, and it was a battle that Shilomar and Mutter had agreed to before. It's a pity that Albert doesn't know the content of the battle at all, and what they say is afraid that the elves will overhear it.
Albert could only continue to "act as an opportunity" and was effectively excluded from the Sphinx's tactics like an outsider.
As soon as the ball passed from Gusta's hand to Xiloma's hand, the Sphinx team immediately followed the tactic just now, forcing a breakthrough with a dense human wall.
No, on the surface, it seems that this is so, but Mutter suddenly ran out, as if he had made a move!
The elves ignore the cat-man boy and send only a catcher to keep an eye on Mutter. The elves still have the advantage of height, and it is estimated that they will not lose to Mutt in one-on-one, and they can grab a long pass in the air, so they did not use more than two people to deal with Mutt!
"Whew. Shiloma saw this, and suddenly jumped up from the dense human wall: "Catch me!!"
The ------! ball flew out like a cannonball, with a strong spin, and stabbed at high speed into the depths of the enemy line! This kind of difficult long-range pass is probably only able to catch by Mutter!
Then came the most crucial moment! The outcome was all up to the cat boy and the elf who was marking the ball, who had the better catching skills! The elf was slender and dexterous, and because of his powerful auditory vision, he had already jumped high and reached out to catch the ball before Mutter. And Mutt, who was originally a dwarf, didn't jump up for a long time, I don't know why!
The ------ ball fell into the hands of the elf, and the pass was about to be snatched by the elves of the Sultan Arrows!
!------The elven catcher didn't expect this pass to have such a powerful spinning ability, the crazy spinning ball was not something that people could easily control, it broke free from the elven catcher's control like a wild horse, and flew away from his hand with a bang!
As if anticipating that the elf catcher would not be able to catch this special pass that spins at a very high speed, Mutter hurried over to check for the leak and pounced on the ball before it hit the ground!
"Beep------" The referee whistled hard: "First gear!
