Chapter 70: Jasmine's Determination
After the Franconians scored, the ball was transferred to the Philes, but the captain and center of the Philian team were still trapped on the Franconian field.
In just ten minutes, the situation on the field turned out to be overwhelmingly unfavorable for the Phil team.
Alston looked at the two ice sculptures on the opposite side with an ugly face, they would not be able to resist the Franconians if they lost Kenneth, so the first priority was to go to the rescue of Kenneth.
In magical soccer matches, the referee is not allowed to intervene unless necessary, such as Kenneth's current situation, which is considered a reasonable tactic for the Franken team, unless the Phil team saves himself, Kenneth will be frozen there until his life is in danger.
In other words, the Phil team can only rely on their own strength to rescue Kenneth, and the Franconian team will undoubtedly do their best to stop it.
Auston looked around, only to feel that his field had become unusually empty, and without Kenneth, who had been standing in front of him, Auston felt a slight panic.
And Kevin, who was standing in front of the goal with a football in his hand, also frowned, without Kenneth, their tactics could not be executed, and whether it was defense or offense, it would become full of flaws.
Kenneth's importance to Team Phil is undeniable.
Kevin looked at the three girls who were also panicked, his eyes met with Jasmine, and he raised his staff and wrote, "One ball for one person." ”
Seeing Kevin's calm face as always, the panic in her heart slowly subsided, and then nodded.
So the Phil team readjusted, Lisa temporarily took the center position, and conveyed Kevin's words to Auston.
As the referee's whistle blows, Auston passes the ball to Lisa, who knowingly leads the ball forward, while Mona and Jasmine follow in the footsteps of the two in front of them.
Meanwhile, the Franconians continued to move forward in their steady formation, while Nigles stayed in place to keep Kenneth and Brandon in check, yawning boredly.
Kenneth was so anxious that he regretted not having a wand with him. At this time, the freezing effect of trapping one's body may be able to be broken through by brute force, but that is also based on the premise that oneself can exert force, but the fact is that he can't move at all, and he can't find the force point at all, so how can he use brute force to break through? But if you can use magic, you only need a fire spell to get out easily.
As for Brandon, he could really only stare dryly, as a beginner in magic, he would only use three spells in total, and the first-order purification technique could not touch the freezing effect of the second-order magic on his body.
The two can only put their hopes in their teammates.
And how could Peter, the captain of the Franconian team, not know the importance of Kenneth to the Phil team, he has watched all four games of the Phil team, and Kenneth is undoubtedly their most central link. After analysing the performances of the rest of the Phil team over four rounds, Peter unmistakably said this to the Franconian players, and without Kenneth, the Phil team would not even be able to make it past the first round.
Therefore, the formation and core tactics of the Franconian team today are developed around Kenneth, with the aim of doing what Anna's team failed to do: completely controlling Kenneth until the end of the game.
So, seeing the three female defenders of the Fer team rushing forward in unison, Peter saw through their plan at a glance, so he stretched out his left fist and then opened it, and then extended a finger.
The Franconian players, who had already completed the run-in, always paid attention to Peter's instructions, and immediately understood Peter's instructions at a glance, and immediately dispersed to abandon the original hexagonal formation and decisively adopt one-on-one marking tactics.
That's how resilient the Franconians are.
Peter and the No. 5 striker were entangled with Auston, while one center and two female defenders each stared at one of the other four, and the other physical No. 4 center was used as a libero to intercept the pass of the Phil team.
At this time, Lisa and the three girls were still more than ten meters away from the center line of the field, and if they were intercepted now, I am afraid that the Franconian team would have scored before they ran to Kenneth's side.
But having said that, in the face of the Franconian team's one-on-one marking, the Phil team was powerless, although Lisa successfully passed the ball to Auston, but Auston was immediately entangled by Peter and the No. 5 striker, and was intercepted by the Franconian team's free man No. 4 center when passing the ball to Mona, and then there was a wave of attack from the Franconian team, Auston and the three defenders were unable to defend, but fortunately, Kevin judged successfully and saved the shot of the opponent's No. 5 striker, so as to keep this point for the Phil team.
"Auston, what are we going to do?" Mona gasped softly and asked Auston for advice.
Auston looked at Jasmine with a slightly gloomy face, and made up his mind: "It seems that there is only one trick to use." Jasmine, please. ”
Jasmine saw Auston looking at herself, pointed at herself and said with a bewildered expression, "Me? ”
Auston nodded, then told Mona the three daughters what he thought.
A look of surprise flashed on the faces of the three girls, Mona and Lisa looked disapproving, while Jasmine had a determined look in her eyes after a moment of hesitation, and whispered a word to Auston, who was shocked after hearing this, but nodded at Jasmine's insistence.
——————
Despite failing to score, many of Franconia's players had a relaxed look on their faces and couldn't help but chuckle as they looked at the two ice sculptures on their field. After all, it didn't matter if they had already taken the initiative and conceded the goal, they still had too many chances to score in the remaining 42 minutes.
Peter and the No. 5 striker stayed on the field of the Phil team, and the No. 5 striker who ran beside Peter looked smug and said to Peter: "Captain, the captain of this Phil team is not difficult to deal with, but you emphasized it so seriously before the game." ”
However, Peter's face was still serious, reminding the striker who felt that he had won the game: "Bob, don't take it lightly, the game is not over yet. ”
Bob saw that the captain was still as strict as ever, and immediately restrained his expression, and nodded, "Understood, captain." This shows Peter's prestige in their hearts.
The referee's whistle blows and Kevin serves. Kevin roughly guessed Auston's idea after seeing the appearance of the four people in front of him getting together, although it was a bit risky, it was already the best way to go.
Kevin threw the ball high and kicked it as far as he could, to the right of the halfway line.
In the face of such a strange behavior of the Phil team, even Peter did not know their intentions for a while, after all, the other players of the Phil team stayed in the midfield on the right side, and it was absolutely impossible for them to run to Kenneth immediately......
Peter's eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately thought of the tactics used by Team Phir when Team Phir played against Team Anna, and he was about to give instructions, but it was too late. I saw that Lisa and Mona were already standing behind Jasmine, and a magic array of "Strong Wind Magic" appeared on the top of the wand in their hands, and each released two strong winds to push Jasmine towards Kenneth's side. Auston had a determined look in his eyes, and a first-order magic array appeared in his hand, and he applied it to Jasmine.
And because of Kevin's serve, both of Franken's centers have run to the right, just enough for Jasmine to fly straight in Kenneth's direction.
Peter hurriedly tried to stop it, but how could Peter be able to capture the speed of the two strong wind spells? I saw Jasmine flying towards Kenneth like a meteor, and a second-order purification magic array had already appeared on the wand in his hand.
There is only one chance, and if they fail, the Phil team will have a hard time rescuing Kenneth.
The only obstacle was Nigelus beside Kenneth.
Can Jasmine, who has always been timid, do it?
Mona, Lisa, Auston, and Kevin all held their breath.
And the most nervous at this time is undoubtedly Jasmine, who implements this strategy. Jasmine, who was pushed forward by two huge strong winds, had reached a speed of about twenty meters per second, and the distance between her and Kenneth was about forty meters, which meant that if Jasmine wanted to use the second-order purification technique to rescue Kenneth, she had to grasp the short moment two seconds later.
Can she really do it?
Yes, she did.
Just as Jasmine brushed Kenneth's side at a very fast speed, the wand in his hand also lit Kenneth's body at the same time, and a huge blue light enveloped Kenneth, and the next moment, all the ice trapped on Kenneth's body faded away, and he finally regained his freedom.
And Negles didn't react at all, only felt as if a gust of wind was blowing past him, and then Kenneth beside him was free.
"This idiot who is always inattentive!" When Peter saw this, he immediately became angry.
Kenneth rushed to Brandon as soon as he lifted the freeze effect, shattering the ice from his body with a punch and bringing him back to his own court, while Jasmine tumbled on the grass and rolled out until the second half of the opponent's court.
Kenneth originally thought that Jasmine must have a first-order flesh-strengthening magic attached to her body, so she would naturally not be injured, so she would give priority to rescuing Brandon. But Kenneth, who was standing at the halfway, found that Jasmine had been lying in place for a long time, but still had no intention of standing up.
Seeing this, the referee immediately blew the silver whistle, temporarily stopped the game, and ran to the fallen Jasmine to inspect her injuries. Seeing this, Kenneth immediately rushed to Jasmine's side, only to see that Jasmine's exposed skin was covered with fine abrasions, and his right hand seemed to have been severely dislocated due to the impact when he landed.
"Jasmine, what's going on?! Didn't Auston add flesh-enhancing magic to you?! Kenneth asked Jasmine, ignoring Jasmine's painful eyes.
"Captain of the Phil, calm down!" But the referee glared at Kenneth, then cast the magic "Body Perception", frowned and asked Jasmine, "Fil II, can you hear me?" If you hear it, please nod. ”
Jasmine nodded painfully, opened her eyes and looked at Kenneth and said, "Captain, I always cause you trouble, and I can finally help you this time......"
Kenneth wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by the referee: "Her right arm has been dislocated, although it can be cured with healing, but due to the rules of the game, I suggest that it is better to let her leave the game." ”
Hearing this, Jasmine said anxiously: "I can still ......"
"Jasmine, you can get out of the game for now," Kenneth interrupted Jasmine, "I'll take care of the rest." ”
The format stipulates that players who are temporarily removed from the field due to injuries during a match can be treated without using magic and returned to the field. Kenneth doesn't seem to mean to let Jasmine leave, but the second half of the sentence clearly doesn't want Jasmine to play again.
Despite Jasmine's reluctance, she obeyed Kenneth's orders and walked into the rest area to receive emergency treatment from the general medical staff assigned to each team by the Athletic Department.
Kenneth walked back to his stadium and saw Auston being questioned by Mona and Lisa, "Why didn't you add protection magic to Jasmine?!" ”
"Auston, big mistake!"
Kenneth approached Auston and frowned, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Auston said helplessly, "It was Jasmine who asked me to do this, and she said that in order to succeed, she asked me to attach a magic 'small perception boost' to her instead of a 'first-order physical enhancement'. And in order not to let the other party notice, I am not allowed to attach a first-order physical enhancement to her in advance. ”
Everything Jasmine did was to rescue Kenneth and win the game.
And Kenneth, who would never allow himself to live up to Jasmine's determination, couldn't help but clench his fists, and his eyes burned with a fierce desire for victory.
At the same time, one person in the audience also frowned because of the situation on the field.
