Chapter 361: A Contest of Empty-Hand Fighting
The location of the Achia barracks is to the southwest of the Giant Rock Castle, and from the architectural layout of the castle, it is strictly divided into military areas, residential areas and commercial areas, so although a large number of people have poured in, it has not caused much chaos, especially the orderly neighborhood of the barracks, and there are no homeless beggars and homeless people to be seen.
When Bolton and Zhao Xi came to the Akia military camp, it was already dark, and a large number of lights were lit in the camp, and you could see groups of heavily armed warriors and archers inside, who were obviously ready to fight at any time.
The military system of the Terran Alliance of the Plane of Destiny is divided into squads, squadrons, wings, brigades, divisions and regiments, a standard squad including the captain is 10 fighters or archers, 10 squads form a squadron, 10 squadrons form a wing, and then 3 wings form a brigade, 3 brigades are divisions, and 3 divisions are regiments!
The establishment of the Giant Rock City Guard is a brigade with 3,000 soldiers, subordinate to the three wings of heavy rain, wind, and thunder, because many soldiers were sacrificed in the previous city defense battle, so at least half of the city guards are now recruits, and the situation is not optimistic.
Bolton placed Zhao Xi in the first squad of the Ninth Squadron of the Thunder Wing, this squad had lost almost all of its strength in the last battle and had just been reorganized, so the team was full of recruits, only the captain was a level 17 veteran soldier.
The captain named David was surprised by Zhao Xi's joining, because Zhao Xi was personally sent by Bolton, and Bolton was the captain of Viscount Golia's personal guard. At the same time, he also served as the deputy brigade commander of the City Guard, and was a top boss in the entire Boulder Castle.
It was because of this big signboard that after Bolton left, David appointed Zhao Xi as the vice captain of the squad in front of all the other soldiers, so that he could take over the position of captain after he died in battle.
Although Zhao Xi's rank was considered low among the recruits, because of this position, he was assigned to a small room in his own room, and he did not have to squeeze in a large barracks with the other soldiers.
It's just that this special treatment made the soldiers of the first squad feel indignant.
And this jealousy and unhappiness erupted when the first team gathered around the campfire at night.
"Hey! The new vice-captain. My name is Road Bear. How about a spar? ”
A burly warrior wiped his mouth, suddenly stood up and said to Zhao Xi, who was drinking soup: "Eating enough to move your muscles and bones is conducive to your health!" ”
System Prompt: Do you want to accept the Road Bear Challenge?
Easter egg missions?
Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, this kind of random trigger task that has nothing to do with the side plot has nothing to do with it. In the game, it is called an Easter egg mission. There may be a small reward after the break. Maybe you'll be smashed on the head and make a little embarrassed, but it won't do much harm to yourself.
"Good!"
The soldiers next to him immediately followed suit and shouted, "Learn, learn." Let's see if our vice-captain is good, or if Lu Xiong is more capable of fighting! ”
Since Zhao Xi had only activated one skill of the Holy Healing Technique, he couldn't see the other party's level without insight, but just looking at the size of this warrior called Lu Xiong, the level must be higher than him.
Zhao Xi speculated that the other party should have been the most powerful candidate for the vice captain, but he didn't expect to be taken away by his "relational household", and he must be unconvinced.
He couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart that the mission system of "Radiance" was powerful and exquisite, and a small NPC character that could be said to be insignificant was actually endowed with such a high AI and character setting.
This gave Zhao Xi a certain illusion that he was not playing a game, but had crossed into a strange world and became a little person who struggled to survive.
"What, Vice Captain, you can't be scared, right?"
Zhao Xi's hesitation made Lu Xiong think that he was scared, and he became more and more proud: "If you admit defeat, then forget it!" ”
Everyone laughed.
David frowned, although he could scold Lu Xiong, but in this way, Zhao Xi would no longer have any prestige in the team, which would go against his original intention.
And just when the captain doubted whether his decision was wrong, Zhao Xi determined the task, and then stood up unhurriedly and asked, "How do you want to compare?" ”
Lu Xiong didn't expect Zhao Xi to really get up to fight, but he was even more excited, pinched his fist and clattered his knuckles, and said, "Let's fight empty-handed, it's not good to hurt people with weapons." ”
Fighting empty-handed?
Zhao Xi suddenly laughed, he walked two steps around the bonfire, stood in the open space next to him, and said to Lu Xiong: "Okay, then let's play empty-handed fighting, but it's not interesting to just fight, how about some color?" ”
At this time, of course, Lu Xiong will not back down: "How to bet?" ”
Zhao Xi looked at his empty backpack and said, "Let's bet on 1 silver and 5 bronze!" ”
He only had so much money on him, and he staked it all.
"Bet!"
Lu Xiong roared, he took off his leather armor and weapons, and at the same time took out the coin and handed it to David: "Captain, please be a witness!" ”
Zhao Xi did the same, removed his armor and staked his money with David.
David said a little helplessly: "This is the barracks, you have to pay attention to proportion, don't go too far!" ”
His words were actually said to Lu Xiong, which was a subtle warning.
Because whether it is size, body type or level, it is Lu Xiong who has the upper hand steadily, his height is nearly a head taller than Zhao Xi, his naked upper body muscles are knotted, and there is strong power hidden under his dark skin.
On the other hand, Zhao Xi, although he is not the kind of waste material character who can't help but be weak, is also dwarfed by the bear on the road.
At this time, many soldiers from other squads who were having dinner nearby gathered around to watch the excitement, and when they heard that Lu Xiong and Zhao Xi were going to have an empty-handed combat competition, they all laughed.
In their opinion, there is no suspense at all about winning or losing this competition.
"How do you compare level 2 and level 5?"
"This vice-captain of the first squad, no!"
"I think he will definitely lose, and he will be ashamed!"
At this time, a cold voice suddenly sounded next to him: "Will you lose?" I'm optimistic about this new vice-captain, do any of you dare to bet with me? ”
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a young archer walking in from the crowd of onlookers.
"It turned out to be the hunter Xiaode, how do you say to bet, I bet with you!"
"I'm going to bet too!"
The archer named Xiaode pulled a sneering look at the corner of his lips, and said lightly: "I bet on the vice captain of Kaos to win, and you bet on Lu Xiong to win, I will lose as much as I bet!" ”
"Fuck, I'm afraid you can't do it!"
Someone immediately jumped out: "I bet 3 silver, Lu Xiong wins!" ”
"I want 2 silver, Lu Xiong wins!"
"I'll also bet 3 silver, lose to you!"
"Then I'll join in the fun, and I'll have 1 silver for a little fun!"
These soldiers are obviously not rich, but you put together 1 silver and I 2 silver, and the archers actually bet at least 5 gold in their hands, which is a huge amount of money!
Pinching the bet in his hand, Xiao De said to Zhao Xi: "Vice Captain Kaos, if you win, I will share half of this money!" ”
When they were betting just now, Zhao Xi was watching all the time, feeling very interesting, I didn't expect that this archer named Xiaode actually took out dividends to bet on himself to win, which can be regarded as an incentive, right?
He laughed: "Then I'm welcome!" ”
Lu Xiong was so angry that his eyes widened: "You're welcome, wait a minute, let him lose all his underwear!" ”
"Come, let's duel!"
With his roar, the surrounding onlookers retreated, freeing up a large area for the two to compete, and their movements were very skillful, and it was obvious that similar situations often appeared.
Zhao Xi and Lu Xiong were almost ten paces apart to form a confrontation, only waiting for the arbiter's order.
Bite!
A silver coin popped out of David's hand and tumbled and landed in the center of the field.
"Let's go!"
Just as it fell to the dust, the showdown began! ――
