Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Game Begins
Alan struggled through the crowd to find Felicia's figure, and finally spotted her behind a tall figure. Felicia was dressed in light green, and in order to facilitate her activities in the forest, the magic students all changed out of their magic robes and put on tighter clothes. On this fresh morning, Felicia's sassy posture was the most eye-catching among all the participants. Because it was a little far away, Alan couldn't greet Felicia, but at this moment, Felicia turned her head with some feeling, and the two made eye contact, full of concern for each other, and their hearts warmed when they saw each other. The team set off separately, and Alan looked at the pale green in the distance, slowly disappearing into the edge of the forest.
Alan was a little depressed and walked with his head down, when Elvis tugged at Alan and said with a worried face:
"Alan, start your spirits, I took a look just now, five squads are lined up on the north slope in turn, each team should be a few miles apart from the way up the mountain, our team is on the westernmost side, Felicia's side is on the easternmost side, Kelly and Elton's team are next to us, Arman is in the middle, as the game progresses, when the closest to the top of the hill is also the closest time for each team to be next to each team, we must be prepared in advance to beware of what may happen. ”
Alan nodded and looked up at the towering South Mountain, although the northern slope was gentle, but there was no end in sight, and he knew that this race was not so easy.
Finding a few small flags in this large mountain forest is not easy to say, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and Alan carefully observes his surroundings for clues and clues. The forest at the foot of the mountain is extremely lush, and there are almost no roads that allow people to go up the mountain smoothly, so the knights can only rely on the wooden sword to infuse some fighting spirit and open up a path.
"I really don't know how to choose such a place for the competition venue, where are there any pennants here, don't run out of some beasts and eat us. Alan listened to Elvis yelling again, but it was true, there was no trace of anyone coming to this kind of place, and it was less likely that the flag would be hidden.
Alan shouted to the front of the line:
"Everyone pay more attention to their surroundings, maybe they can find any clues, the possibility of hiding a flag at the foot of the mountain is not high, but we must also observe carefully, and we can't let go of every corner. ”
Robert is at the front of the line, captain, he always has to take on a little more. However, he was not very happy all the way, his body was cut by rattan in a few places, not to mention, he was tired and sweaty, and he walked less than three miles.
Robert threw away the wooden sword in his hand, sat down on the place, and said to the others:
"If it doesn't work, it won't work, if we continue like this, we won't be able to climb to the top of the mountain in five days, let alone compete with other teams. ”
Alan saw that he was retreating in his heart, and his heart was not good, this game had just begun, and he couldn't hit the morale of the team like this. Alan walked up to Elvis and whispered a few words to him, asking him, the vice-captain, to come out and say a few words to boost his morale.
"Robert is right, if the environment on the mountain is like this, we really can't get to the top. However, when I was a child and went up with my father to hunt in the mountains, the plants that grew on the mountains would change a lot at intervals, from the bottom to the top, at first the rainforest area, which is where we are, and the plants were mostly low shrubs, and then there would be broad-leaved forests, coniferous forests, and then even some meadows, and the height of the mountains to the south, and there might be snow on the top of the mountain. So rest assured, let's work hard to get out of this rainforest, and then we'll take a break. After saying that, Elvis shook the muller he took out of his satchel and motioned for everyone to have a drink to drink.
When Robert heard Elvis say this, he saw the wine in his hand, and immediately got up and commanded several knight cadets to take turns to open the way, so as to get out of this rainforest as soon as possible.
In the process of following, everyone was troubled by all kinds of rattan and low shrubs, and they were not in the mood to look for any pennants at all. At this time, the march was already noon, and it was reasonable to say that the fog in the mountains should dissipate, but at this time, the fog in the south mountains did not dissipate, but had a tendency to become thicker and thicker. Allen's heart is not good, the rainforest is not easy to pass, and at this time, with the fog, the team is at risk of scattering.
"Everyone follow closely, don't get separated, if we get separated, we will suffer if we encounter a large group of people from other teams later. Alan reminded the crowd, and then looked at Elvis behind him, seeing the same concern in his eyes.
The accompanying observers are also miserable at this time, and they are not allowed to leave the team during the game, so each team only arranges one observer, if the team members are separated, what happens to them can not escape the responsibility, hearing Alan remind the team not to get separated, the observer cast a grateful look at Allen, but the fog is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult to see the people around him clearly.
At this time, the visibility in the fog was only five feet, and the players were struggling to march up the mountain in the fog, and people were constantly scratched by the rattans around them, but they didn't expect the early stage of the game to be so difficult. However, after all, everyone in the Knight Academy has received strict military training, at this time Robert passed the word, everyone should be separated by three feet, and the rear of the team should shout in time if the situation needs to stop, the whole team maintains a formation, and reports the number from front to back every three hundred steps, plus the observers, a total of eighteen people, if there are few people, they need to stop immediately and search within a radius of three hundred paces.
Alan thought to himself, although Robert usually seems to have no brains, but he can really play a role at critical moments, and according to Robert's method, the team will not be separated, so he is relieved to think about the game.
If it goes well, each team will find some pennants on the way up the mountain, and the closer they get to the top, the more likely the teams will meet, and not only will they have to look for the flags, but they will also have to watch out for attacks from other teams, and the competition will be the most intense. Not only that, Arman has not made any moves along the way, obviously this guy will not be so peaceful, and it is this person who has the most headache for him and Elvis. And Felicia's side didn't know if there would be any danger, and the Andrei next to him knew at a glance that it was not a good thing. Just as Alan was thinking more and more confused, an exclamation came from the back of the team:
"There's something around!"
Allen, Elvis, and Robert, who were walking at the front of the line, stopped when they heard the shouting, and Alan heard the shouting of the observer who was walking at the end of the line. Everyone was nervous, wondering what danger was around, was it another team attacking, or was there some beast around?
