Verse 246: Maya (1)
"Is your brother really coming?" Maya's companion looked at her mentor's seat, where there was an empty seat.
"It's coming." Maya replied as she manipulated her animated branches around her armsโnot twigs of the World Tree, but they protected their owners.
The first day was a battle between the lower grades, and the junior apprentices between the churches would fight from the opening battle in the morning into the evening - and maybe a play-off if the team was really close before.
Compared with the poor performances between the middle grades, although the lower grades are less enjoyable, who makes the average age of the lower grades not more than ten years old?
Twelve years old, like Maya, is already overage here.
"What are those guys fighting in the opening battle, why did the junior team commander of the Church of the Night Goddess scatter the two giants on both sides, and put them on the left side to break through the small man on the opposite side in one go, and rush in and ravage the opponent's back row." His captain whispered to the team about the situation on the field: "Remember, when you meet this team, Maya, you call those two big men to death and turn them over, and the other guys are not a problem." โ
Maya nodded, the captain is the conductor, and my brother always said that a team only needs one voice, so she said it...... Always right.
"It's an ugly game." Looking at the field, Maya's teammates also expressed dissatisfaction.
In Maya's opinion, it is true, the team of the Church of Arts and Beauty on the other side is also an idiot, and the only caster has escaped the protection of the shield hand in order to attack the giant, ah, the arrow!
Although the arrow was removed, the white ash of the arrow still hurt very much when it hit the face.
After the only caster fell, the junior ranks of the Church of Arts and Beauty soon collapsed.
"It's some waste, it's not good to fight against each other, and it's distorted and distorted first." The captain cursed, a slang term used by many churches to mock the Church of Arts and Beauty, and then he asked, "Who's going to fight in the second game?" โ
"It's still these two churches, but the first one is a confrontation between the eastern provinces, and this one is between the northern provinces." Her assistant replied.
"After all, it is a northern province, and it should be better than the eastern Yankees." The captain and his assistants were muttering.
Maya looked at the field, different from the last game, even between the lower grades, the two teams in the northern provinces also showed a completely different rhythm, the front row and the back row did both the connection and cover, and the projectile weapons of both sides failed to cause damage - in this kind of junior game, cold weapons are the main theme of Ha, and shields are each other's best guardians.
It's a tough opponent to deal with, Maya gave this assessment, and according to what her brother told her, how to find their weaknesses when facing such a team.
Both sides have armor, although it is only wooden armor, but it also has good protection coverage, and there is basically no conductivity, and low-level lightning arrows cannot effectively penetrate it.
However, they can seem to make the user bulky and slow down the front rows of both sides.
Fossils are mud, and throwing them to both sides can effectively cut the front row of the opponent; After expanding, throw it in the middle, and directly destroy the front row of the opponent.
Or use the lightning chain, open the overload super and the piercing super, Maya's current lightning chain can jump seventeen times, nine people in the front row of the opponent, each person can jump twice on the head, although there is a certain danger to the other party, but considering that they should have more or less blessing spells to reduce damage...... From my brother's point of view, electricity is enough.
The game between the northern provinces was extremely dull, and Maya's captain and assistant quickly turned their attention to which little brother was handsome.
Maya thinks that there should be something wrong with them, and their faces are swollen now, how handsome can they be.
Eventually, the battle between the northern provinces ended with the exhaustion of the ranks of the Church of the Night Goddess.
"No, the guys of the Night Goddess haven't eaten enough."
"It's just a shame."
The captain and assistant seemed a little unbelievable, but Maya remembered her brother saying that sometimes don't rush to make a decision on the other party's coffin, there are winners and losers in the lower divisions, and according to the format, the winners of the two northern provinces of the church will face each other...... Maya looked at the schedule in her hand.
It will be played against the winner of the southern provinces between the Harvest Goddess Church and the Church of the God of War.
Both the Church of the Lord of Justice and the Church of the God of War are first-class powerhouses, and in Maya's opinion, humans can sometimes become very cunning.
What followed was the battle between the teams of the Western Provinces, and compared to their northern parishioners, the battle between the two teams using light armor went on very quickly, and the first projection of both sides resulted in seven dead and five wounded - the Church of the Night Goddess fell a third of its personnel, two were shot in the chest, and the other three were in the waist and abdomen, which was a fatal wound in actual combat, but the shot in the chest was judged to be a kill, and the waist and abdomen were judged to be seriously injured, so the three had to fall to the ground and pray that no one would step on them.
However, the loss of the Church of Arts and Beauty was even greater - the five dead and one wounded, basically all in the front row, one of whom was hit in the face and had been pulled out of the field by the first aid team.
Then the two sides lost their rules completely, as the captains and assistants of both sides received exit tickets in the first round of projection, and finally the Church of the Night Goddess had the last laugh in the chaos.
"What kind of mess is this, why are they so gathered together, what's the use of wearing that thin leather armor like underwear, and even the case where the shield is pierced by a spear that wraps around the head, and their shield doesn't even use a plank?" The captain and his assistants routinely complained, and at the same time issued a rearmament order - as soon as the last southern province group of the two churches was finished, it would be a match between them and the God of War Church.
"Why hasn't your brother come yet?" Maya's friend screamed, "I would have liked to behave in front of Mr. Marin. โ
Looking at the freckled face, Maya smiled formulaically.
The hymn of mankind is really a hymn of courage, as my brother said.
With this in mind, Maya saw a rout, and the two casters of the Southern Province of the Church of the Night Goddess pierced through their opponents, and even though it was only a few fireballs, it was enough to burn their peers on the other side.
"We're on!" The captain clapped his hands.
Everyone was getting up, and Maya was standing up, holding her friends at the same time.
"Why hasn't your brother come yet?" She muttered.
"He's coming." Maya said with a smile as she looked at the field.
"You talk nonsense!" Her friend glanced at the mentor's seat, which was still empty.
"I kid you not, I smell it." With that, Maya stretched out her hand, and her living branches formed a shamanic staff.
Pulling up her hood and putting down her mask, Maya began to cast protective spells on her teammates.
"Left-hand tactics." The captain arranges tactics in the back row of the team.
So the three giant hybrids stood together on the left side of the line, and they came together with a giant shield, which was very oppressive.
Maya swapped places with her teammate on the left in the back row, and the seeds she sowed grew behind her, eventually pulling the two-meter-tall Treant out of the ground.
This made the team of the God of War Church who drove the two wolves to the field hesitate.
"I still haven't seen your brother." A friend's voice came from beside her, holding a shield that looked like a wounded young beast.
Maya smiled, and she turned to look at the high entrance to the tournament venue, just in time for her vision to see her brother there.
The game began, someone on the opposite side turned on the stealth technique, Maya turned her head, the long staff studied, and the element in her hand turned into a long whip and swung into the air, sweeping the halfling out of the invisible state, and the protection technique that fell in time blocked the elemental damage of the long whip, but failed to prevent the halfling from being taken out of the arena.
What the spell caster on the opposite side was preparing, Maya didn't recognize anything, because this is what a spell hunter as a teammate should do, Maya just raised her forearm, and then raised it high, and the electric whip turned into a spear in the process and then threw it, and finally pierced through the stone wall that suddenly erected, and brought the caster behind to the ground - the electric spear was scattered by Maya at the last moment, so it turned into an element** opponent, and was naturally electrocuted.
The front row of the Church of the God of War had been pressed at this time, and the highlanders were mainly fighting against the giant hybrids on the left and the right side of the front row of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest.
Maya asked her Treant to head to the right to relieve stress.
The two wolves circled to the left and charged towards Maya, then were tied up by rattans that suddenly burst out of the ground.
Maya didn't care about the two wolves, the vampire vine would solve all this for her, she began to prepare lightning arrows - the staff had turned into a longbow, the elements were strings, Maya raised the bow, moved two steps sideways, and drew the bow at the elven half-breed in the distance, because the shooting boundary was blocked by the giant half-blood, and the pressure in front made the half-breed have to choose another target, so when Maya appeared, he immediately made a choice between evasion and shooting.
Elemental arrows have their own guidance, and it is useless to escape, based on this reality, he can only shoot at them, but the arrows formed by the elemental condensation hit him at a speed far exceeding that of the physical arrows.
At this time, her friend blocked an arrow for her: "I did it!" When she finished happily, she was struck by a spear on her helmet, and the girl fell screaming.
Maya once again moved sideways, passing the second pursuing arrow, and raised her bow at the same time, the elemental strings were full, and the arrow took shape on the bow, and it ended in the desperate face of the opposing archer.
As he fell to the ground from the electric shock, Maya shook his longbow, and the elemental strings began to resonate, and the next arrow killed the elemental damage that spread by itself, and the chill of frost replaced the rushing lightning, ready to sweep through everything.
At the same time, she heard the whistle, saw the referee in the audience raise the flag of surrender of the other party, and noticed the helplessness on the face of the other party's mentor.
Maya then lowered her longbow, and the bow made of activated branches began to disintegrate.
"I'll just say it, hit the left, haha, those idiots in the Night Goddess Church wouldn't have thought that we would send the opponent they wanted to avoid in front of them." The captain smiled happily in the middle of the team.
Maya turned around, looked at the figure sitting on the mentor's seat, lifted her skirt and smiled slightly.
Brother, see, this is how I fight.
"Mr. Marlin is looking at me! I'm so happy! The friend's voice rang out a little out of place.
Maya let go of her hand, she tilted her head, her thick tail curled up, and the not very happy cat girl thought of what her brother often said - human beings are really a freewheeling race, obviously a civilized race, but sometimes they don't have to empty their brains and want to make themselves stupid to death, and they live very chic.
