Chapter 13 This is how the game should be played
"Now I'm going to read out the rules of the game." The referee is a mage in charge of the maintenance of the training grounds, and the gray robe has a silver dragon ornament representing the instructors of the military academy.
The huge crystal screen was horizontally in the air, perfectly displaying the referee's bare head, and seeing the six teams of soldiers from both sides entering the field, the crowd around cheered like a carnival. In contrast to the first time the Charles first visited, the Roman columns that rose around were lit with magical flames, and the surrounding scene was like a wet market.
Charles looked around, and the rising auditorium made him feel like he was in the arena right now. It was full of people, and there were vendors selling popcorn through the crowd, and when Charles just squeezed in, someone even grinned and asked him if he wanted to buy a lottery ticket...... The small competitions of the military academy were completely regarded as entertainment by the masses.
What he didn't expect was that this kind of small competition would attract so many people to watch, is there anything special about it?
A few apprentices were drawing magic circles on the field and didn't know what to throw on the ground, Charles was not a spellcaster, so he naturally couldn't understand the doorways inside, but the style was very similar to the one in the alchemist Siso's shop yesterday, this is also an alchemy array?
Spellcasters who serve in the Academy are not all Lichs, as long as they have earned valid achievements in the field of research, they are eligible to serve. Like the mage on the referee's bench, an expert in geological exploration, his discovery of the Ruhr mine changed the situation of low steel production in the empire in one fell swoop. And there is no doubt that these apprentices must have been his students.
"First of all! Today our race terrain is rainforest! The mage on the screen snapped his fingers, and then Charles watched the vegetation on the ground grow upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye, the brown earth was quickly covered with meadows, the flowers bloomed and quickly withered, and the saplings that had just broken through the soil quickly sprouted, obscuring the sky above Charles in just a dozen seconds.
The vegetation that stimulated life was frantically covered with bare soil, and Charles even heard a thunderclap in the sky and a torrential rain falling in response.
It doesn't have to be like this...... Charles touched his soaked underwear, which was a little uncomfortable......
"It's not easy to survive in this environment, your flesh will quickly rot and grow maggots, and there will be flies flying around you." Well, our comrade referee seems to be a part-time commentator, "To get back to the point, all participating teams must try their best to capture the opponent's battle flag, and their own side cannot move the battle flag, once the battle flag is moved to the enemy base by the enemy team, the team will be considered a failure." Two points for defeating the Vanguard, three points for the Adjutant General, five points for the Commander, and five points for getting a Battle Flag. The game will be played until the sun sets, and the remaining teams will be ranked according to their points. ”
A green flag suddenly appears behind Charles, with a smiling Bomberman painted on it.
"Gil Najit." The young knight standing to the right of Charles stretched out his right hand, his greasy black hair pressed against his head, and his tired eyes were completely devoid. Placing the heavy shield on the ground, Jill kept complaining about the troublesome mentor.
Why is such an unmotivated guy the main general...... Charles shook hands with the brother a little painfully, and then turned his attention to the red-haired beauty next to him.
With her long red hair like flames, the female knight smiled brightly at Charles, the youngest member of the group, and looked quite friendly.
"My name is Rhona Karan, and you are Mentor Uther's personal student." The female knight enthusiastically stretched out her left hand.
Is it left-handed...... Charles didn't see this woman during the actual combat training the day before yesterday, and it is estimated that she is also an honor student who hangs outside every day. As long as you can play, you can graduate, and the Academy of Imperial Affairs doesn't care about the attendance rate of students at all, so many good students are not in school all year round.
This senior sister is much more reliable than the lazy worm over there, but Charles still thinks Uther's arrangement is a bit strange. Since the guy gave himself the order to get the first place, there is no reason to find such a second teammate for himself, unless he is ready to pit himself...... But the other two teams were even weaker than they could see, and Charles, who had fought against those scumbags, knew it very well.
Jill was already sitting on the ground by this time, lazily leaning against the stone, and his unmotivated appearance made Charles wonder if the thing was ready to surrender...... "Ah, Rhona, I'm so jealous, you never greet me." Or do you prefer small fresh meat...... I remember when you first entered the school, your hobby was an uncle, and you told me every day that Uther was so handsome, and the tutor was so handsome, and you wanted to marry a mentor or something......"
The smiling Rhona stiffened her face, and without warning, she pulled up her long sword and stabbed it horizontally at Jill who was sitting on the ground. With its rapid speed and strong force, the person who is attacked in such a sneak attack situation will definitely not be able to react.
Charles didn't expect his game to start with attrition...... Obviously, he hasn't even encountered the enemy yet, so the mentor's arrangement is really a pit......
But when Rhona stopped, the heavy shield covered Jill's body, completely blocking Rhona's sword.
"Cut, actually use 'Defense Expert'...... Idiot, be careful next time you speak, beware of me hacking you to death. The red-haired beauty threatened viciously, and Jill didn't mind retracting the big shield, and the two of them looked very used to it.
Great...... Charles somewhat understood his mentor's intentions.
Rhona's armor covers a small amount of space, and is only thickened in important areas, and the overall weight is probably less than half that of the Charr, but the weapon used is a lighter stabbing type. Judging from the action just now, the ** strength is also very high, that is, a melee that specializes in damage. Having such a man forward is undoubtedly the best option, with a strong attack but a thin skin, but even if they are beaten by local teams, they are only two points.
And Jill who can use the "Defense Expert" is the number one meat shield player, using his own strength and the agility of the attacker to force judgment and reverse the attack result, so this lazy-looking guy can block Rhona's attack. If Jill is the main general, it can also absorb the firepower to the greatest extent and increase the difficulty of the enemy to obtain points.
According to the referee, the six teams seem to be fighting separately, and even if they are from the same school, they still have to find ways to defeat the other teams.
So what does it look like...... Mentor Uther's other two teams are the send-off team.
The result of Charles' analysis of the information is to find the other two allies first, and then kill each other. This way, even if one of the opposing teams achieves the highest score, they will only have to draw with the Charles.
But now there's a problem......
He had to get the other two to listen to him......
Boom, boom, the crowd outside the stadium began to cheer again. The situation of several teams on the battlefield is projected onto the crystal screen, so just listening to the sound will tell that there is a fight somewhere.
I didn't expect someone to engage in the battle so soon...... Time is a little tight......
"I'm against it!" Gil was the first to oppose Charles's attack strategy, "Whether one person stays behind or all the men attack, as long as we leave the battle flag, we may fail!" None of the people on Thor's side eat dry food, and if the three of them can't handle me, we won't lose for four years in a row! ”
Have you lost so many times...... Is Uther's reliable or not?
It's really a bit difficult to make a decision, although Jill is too lazy to think, and Rhona is casual about anything, but Charles, who only thinks of strategy, can't come up with reliable tactics.
Unless another enemy comes to the door first......
The sound of something falling on the grass......
Rona grabbed her sword and charged instantly, but before the hapless dead rider could react, she was slashed to the ground.
"How can you even ...... a warrior's charge," Charles felt that the skills in this world were a bit chaotic.
"When I was alive, I was a warrior." Rhona picked up the unlucky ghost who had already died in one hand, "What about this guy?" ”
it, is this a live-action battle royale...... Charles glanced at the guy who was stabbed to death with a sword, wasn't he the man who complained about him with the rogue female knight on the day of actual combat training......
Is it possible to be saved if you are killed like this?
"Rest assured, all defeated knights will be teleported to the off-site for healing, and those who are already dead will be transformed into undead, and those who are already undead will be replaced. You won't die anyway, don't worry. "It's clear that Rhona has been brainwashed by the Empire's strange view of life and death......
Charles didn't think he was an undead or a living man, "It's still useful to cut off his arm." ”
With a sigh, Rhona chopped off the knight's right hand and threw the other party's corpse on the ground, "Here you go." ”
Charles glanced at the number above Rhona's head, it was actually 2, and the guy who was killed was a pioneer, but the number on the top of his head was set to two.
Pulling the flag, Charles was sure that he couldn't pull out the flag according to the rules. But he thought of a plan to circumvent the rules, when the mage arranged the spell, it was likely that the owner of the flag could not grab the battle flag, but the owner of the flag could pull it up.
If you grasp it with someone else's hand, can you pull it out......
Smack...... I really pulled it out. He took the severed arm and tried to grab the flag himself, trying to see if the effect of the flag not being able to be moved would disappear once it was pulled up.
But once again, the battle flag was firmly planted on the ground, quite stubborn spells...... But this is not difficult for the witty Charles.
He tore a strip of cloth from his body, then attached his arm to the flag, and finally called out to Jill and tied the flag to his back.
"Done!" Charles looked at Jill with satisfaction, and the mobile battle flag system was completed!
The question of whether to keep someone to watch the flag was successfully solved!
Follow the road where the unlucky dead rider just came, look back, and it is estimated that you can find two other team members.
Comrades for your hard work! Uncle Charles will send you to reincarnation right away!
