90. Glory
Originally, the inter-school exchange meeting of the military academy was only an annual exchange between several schools. At best, it will receive some attention from the military circles, and it will be difficult to attract the attention of other people in the civilian sector under normal circumstances.
In the nameless view, there is not much difference between the school and the joint sports meeting between the school in the last era, and after watching the records of the previous exchange conferences, it is more confirmatory to his opinion, other people in the people will not pay attention to this matter at all, and even the gambling houses have few people to open a bet because of this matter.
In the eyes of many, this is just a game held by a group of newly grown children.
However, this year's conference is very different from the past. One of the biggest reasons is that the vice president of the Feiteng Military Academy, which is at the bottom of the century-old school, is an unknown general.
Today's Yanjing can easily make newspaper headlines if it has anything to do with the unknown. After repeated reports in the newspapers, people who didn't care about the inter-school exchange meeting gradually began to pay attention to the conference, and even the gambling houses opened betting markets for various events.
Since this event has never been taken seriously, even the odds offered by the major gambling houses are very different.
But there are similarities between gambling houses. That is, not many people are optimistic that Feiteng Military Academy will achieve the first overall score.
In the eyes of insiders, it will be a group of students who will play next, not a truly invincible unknown general. If you give Nameless three more years, it is believed that the first overall score this time will definitely be Nameless. But Feiteng Military Academy gave Nameless too little time, not long after he joined, he was sent out to perform a mission, and the time to guide students was naturally reduced, and if these students could not be at the bottom of the overall score, it was already quite good.
Of course, the gambling house is not completely unfavorable to the Feiteng Military Academy. For example, in the unit of one-on-one individual martial arts competition, almost all betting casinos are extremely optimistic about Feiteng Military Academy winning the championship. After all, there was already a sword saint named Odox in this school, and after the soldiers brought by Nameless joined the academy, it was rumored that there was also a second-order sword saint in it, and a few days ago, there was even news that someone had been promoted to a dragon knight.
There are three rank masters in one academy, which is rare in the history of all military academies.
In the face of Feiteng Military Academy's aggressive momentum in heads-up, the other military academies scolded Nameless in their hearts. Three rank masters? This heads-up competition is a fart! simply took away the trophy of this competition in advance.
Regarding the bet that Feiteng Military Academy will not be able to win the championship in the heads-up competition, the bets received by all the gambling houses in Yanjing together are only more than 100 people who buy them.
Compared with insiders who are not optimistic about the overall results of Feiteng Military Academy, there are still some laymen who buy the lottery tickets of the first person to achieve the overall score of Feiteng Military Academy with their enthusiastic support for the nameless.
Of course, because the commoners are not rich in the first place. Everyone just treated this bet as a game, no one invested too much money, and everyone was looking forward to the military exchange conference that would stimulate their nerves in the near future.
Compared with the lukewarm reaction of the people, the spirit of the teachers and students of the major schools is in a state of excitement, this is an important event for them once a year, especially the sudden rise of the Feiteng Military Academy, which makes the students of several other colleges feel a lot of pressure, after all, it is definitely a very humiliating thing to be at the bottom of the overall score.
After several days of busy preparations, the students' long-awaited exchange meeting was officially held in a large campus provided by the Yenching Military Department.
In the first place in the last year, the president of the Shenlong Military Academy, the organizer of this exchange conference, made a brief statement, and this inter-school exchange conference finally officially started.
Heads-up matches are often bloody and bloody, so it is very easy to set the atmosphere, and according to the past practice, they will be placed at the front of all matches.
As the vice principal, Nameless sat in a separate VIP room with Apple in his arms, quietly watching the game that was about to start.
Without Zhang Feng and others by his side, Nameless felt that this was a rare moment for him to be quiet in the past few days. One hundred and fifty of his men, including the fat mage Dimora, had all participated in the tournament.
The principal of the Shenlong Military Academy looked at the audience around with satisfaction, the inter-school exchange conference has been held for many years, and this is the first time that it can attract so many people to watch the game. In addition to the students from various schools, at least tens of thousands of non-students gathered around the stadium to watch the game.
Because of the rules, each school can only send 16 people in the heads-up competition, and the elimination system is adopted. Except for the Odox, Wadehai, and Dragon Knight Gulie, the other thirteen contestants were all selected from ordinary students.
Of the sixty-four students, Gurje was undoubtedly the most dazzling. Not to mention the stegosaurus weighing more than three tons and about six meters long, a dragon knight suit shines even more in the sunlight. The students of the other schools deliberately kept a certain distance from Gulie, and secretly prayed in their hearts that they would not run into this monster in the first round, which would really become a death before they could leave the school.
With the completion of the draw and grouping, the players of all ethnic groups came to the center of the ring drawn in white lime.
Unlike the lively cheering scenes of the major academies in previous years, this year only the students of the Feiteng Military Academy are shouting in unison. Because this heads-up competition can be said to be decided, there is no suspense at all.
The referees of each ring gave an order, and the most suspenseful unit competition of the inter-school exchange conference was officially staged.
Wei Dehai, the sword saint of the Baolong clan, still has some chivalry in his heart, and he doesn't want to bully these weaker students in front of him. At the moment when the competition began, with a simple rush, the opponent was slapped out of the ring by his palm.
In contrast, Gulie, who is a dragon knight, does not have the noble spirit of dragon knighthood at all. In the face of a weak opponent, he directly commanded his stegosaurus to let out a dragon roar, and then smashed it to the ground with its big tail, scaring the opponent so much that he gave up on the spot and rolled out of the ring.
With Guri's opponent abstaining, he will face a new opponent in his next match. Originally, the two had not yet decided the winner, but after witnessing the fierce strength of Gure's mount, both of them quit the fight and abstained at the same time. In doing so, Gulie became the first player to go straight to the third round.
Seeing that Gulie won so easily, Wei Dehai secretly scolded himself for being stupid. Looking at the number plate in his hand, Wei Dehai quickly found the group of opponents he was about to face in the next battle. He strode to the side of the opponent's fighting ring, and directly opened the strength of the second-order Sword Saint's fighting energy, and the dust under his feet was blown away due to the explosion of fighting energy.
"What else are you fighting? If you win, your opponent will fight me. Wadehai reminded that it was more of a threat. Fortunately, the two players who were fighting fiercely were also interested, and immediately announced their abstention and both ran out of the ring.
Nameless glanced at the other rings, all the players who participated in the heads-up competition this time, except for the three people from the Feiteng Military Academy, only one school sent a first-order master to participate in the battle.
And the luck of this first-order master is really on his back, his first opponent is none other than the third Sword Master level master of the Feiteng Military Academy, Odox.
In the face of the attack of the second-order sword saint Odox, this first-order sword master only had the power to parry, and he had no ability to fight back. For today's game, Eudocs was ravaged by Wade, who was also a second-order sword master, a few days ago.
Although they are all second-order sword saints, Wei Dehai is a second-order sword saint, belonging to the oldest fritter level, plus he has fought a lot of tough battles, and gets along with the soldiers day and night, and the strange tricks are endless, teaching Odox to have no temper at all.
This time it was easy to have the opportunity to transfer his grievances to others, and Odox was naturally not polite when he started, and a good steel sword was played in his hands.
The opponent couldn't easily abstain because of the identity of the Sword Saint, and the two sides only fought hundreds of moves, and in the end, the first-order Sword Saint was exhausted and defeated, but the loss was not ugly, after all, compared to the previous few players who were embarrassed and defeated, he had a little more backbone.
In the next game, because there was no confrontation with other level masters, everyone kept looking groggy, and some even dozed off.
In the end, what people had been looking forward to seeing was the competition between the three masters of the Feiteng Military Academy. However, Eudox and the Ancients, this noble Mr. Dragon Knight, did not have the sense of honor that a knight should have, and announced his abstention on the spot in front of everyone's eyes! The reason is even more incredibly simple: Lao Tzu can't beat him.
A frank remark immediately drew boos from the enthusiastic students, which was mixed with a lot of uneaten food. The audience who felt deceived didn't seem to be relieved enough, in addition to swearing and cursing endlessly, some even took off their shoes and threw them over! Eudox shrugged his shoulders and walked away without seeing it, feeling neither ashamed nor regretful.
It wasn't until the quarterfinals were born that the really eye-catching battle began. The second-order sword saint Wadehai, against the second-order sword saint Odox. These two are old rivals in the Feiteng Military Academy, especially Odox, his eyes were on fire when he saw Wei Dehai, and he was like two people who had abstained before.
At that time, he took a leave of absence to travel, in order to lead the Feiteng Military Academy to make history in the inter-school exchange competition. With Nameless appearing, he knew that he could no longer lead the academy, so he could only target the unit of individual heads-up.
However, he never thought that among those soldiers who didn't seem to have much ability, there was actually a second-order sword saint hidden. According to his speculation, among all the second-order masters, although this Wei Dehai could not be said to be the strongest, it was definitely the most difficult one to deal with.
It's like he obviously feels that he is equal to Wei Dehai's strength, but every time he fights, he always seems to be occupied by the other party, which makes him unable to parry. This made him very unwilling.
Despite the strength of the second-order masters, they usually get very good rankings in military competitions. There was even a time when the honor of the first master in the whole army was taken away by a second-order master. But the battle between two second-order masters rarely appears in the history of inter-school exchange meetings. After all, people who become high-level masters usually can't learn anything in school, and most people choose to graduate early and leave here.
The duel between masters with similar strength was supposed to be an extremely exciting battle. However, when Odox mustered up that surprising strength and prepared to fight Wadehai, people realized that their expectations had been disappointed once again.
This battle scene is almost a copy of the duel between Odox and the first-order sword master, Wadehai's endless strange moves steadily suppressed Odox's strength, and Odox defended more and attacked less, and finally was kicked in the ass by Wadehai, kicked out of the ring, and ended this boring battle.
People booed again in dissatisfaction, but the next heads-up game was even more boring. People can't help but wonder if Wadehai's opponent in the final will also abstain once.
In fact, just a second before the start of the final, Wadehai's opponent still had the idea of abstaining. On the balance, he was always afraid of his aristocratic status. In any case, he must bravely stand in the ring to defend the honor of the nobility.
However, there was a huge disparity in strength, and the audience couldn't help but look at this courageous young man with pity, and a gong sounded, and the competition officially began.
Wadehai stood silently in place, not attacking immediately as usual. The young nobleman couldn't guess the opponent's thoughts, so he could only act when he saw the opportunity, and stayed where he was and watched out carefully.
Suddenly, Wei Dehai suddenly exhaled lightly, raised his eyes to look at the VIP seat where Nameless was located, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Boss, I know that you want to completely destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Just relying on the military funds given by the state, it is absolutely impossible to build the invincible barracks in your heart. Perhaps in the future, I will stand against you because of the interests of the country. As a subordinate, I don't want to owe you anything. The Baolong clan would rather die than admit defeat and surrender, and let me violate the code of the Baolong clan today to make up for what may happen in the future. ”
The young nobleman looked at Wade's mouth and muttered something, mistakenly thinking that this second-order sword saint was actually a master of demonic and martial arts dual cultivation, and he must be reciting a magic spell at this time, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He felt that his feet were trembling, and before he could shout his abstention, Wei Dehai suddenly shouted: "I abstain!" Admit defeat! ”
The venue, which was still very noisy just now, suddenly fell silent, and everyone mistakenly thought that they had hearing problems, and looked at each other, looking at each other. Wei Dehai's opponent even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, and someone would automatically admit defeat and give up the championship in the case of absolute superiority.
He didn't believe it, and the teachers and students of the Feiteng Military Academy were collectively dumbfounded. The dream they had been looking forward to for many years was about to come true at this moment, but in the blink of an eye, it was shattered by their own hands and defeated so inexplicably.
Nameless's eyebrows tightened, and he looked down curiously, Wei Dehai's decision was also unexpected. On the contrary, the faces of the soldiers on the sidelines were normal, and no one was the slightest bit surprised by the decision made by Wadehai, as if they had already predicted that this would be the case.
The Yanjing civilians who came to watch the battle, you look at me, I look at you, their eyes widened and they don't know what happened at that moment just now. Even though it was a fact, they still couldn't believe it.
Wei Dehai knew the consequences of this decision, he took a deep breath, the beast king in his body vigorously stirred his vocal cords, and shouted: "Everyone, you may all be guessing what I automatically admitted defeat for. Actually, it's very simple, because my brothers bought me at the gambling house and lost. ”
As soon as these words came out, the venue finally broke the silence and boiled again. Especially the people who bought this bet jumped up and cursed the shamelessness of Wei Dehai and others, and even gave up their own honor for a few gold coins.
People were annoyed, and all kinds of food were smashed into the venue like a torrential rain. Wei Dehai stood silently in the center, looking at the excited audience with an expressionless face, until they smashed the last food in their hands, Wei Dehai was still standing there, like a standing pine. Suddenly, the rioting crowd began to quiet down, and they were a little curious about Wadehai's unusual behavior, and wondered if there was something else going on here.
After a long time, Wade Hai raised his face, and his eyes seemed to be red.
"Honor? Who wouldn't want to get it? Who wants to do such a dirty thing as admitting defeat for gambling money? Wei Dehai roared excitedly, and the sound resounded throughout the competition venue. Raising his head, he never lowered his head: "The Sword Master has his own honor!" How could I do such a thing if it wasn't for the imbido? ”
"You know, I'm a soldier in the trap camp. My general is the pride of the Empire, the Unknown General! The general once said that his wish was to eliminate all the Blue Turban bandits and revive the power of the dragon. If the general wants to build the trapped faction into an invincible iron army, he not only needs good soldiers, but also needs the best equipment to distribute to soldiers! But the empire has its own difficulties, and the military expenses he needs to pay are not just for us. The cost of building an iron army in the general's mind is extravagant and huge. It is impossible for the military department to sabotage the entire strategic deployment for our sake. ”
Wei Dehai took a deep breath, turned his resentment of giving up the honor of the Baolong clan into a roar, and the long sword in his hand was raised even higher: "In order to raise more military expenses, in order to fulfill the general's wishes, and for the sake of the people of the Shenlong Kingdom who are being ruled by bandits, all the four hundred and twenty soldiers in our camp are willing to accompany me to conceal the general, give up the honor of the warrior, and use such an extreme way to raise military expenses this time!" ”
Suddenly, all the ruffians stood up at the same time as the mercenaries who had joined last time, and shouted in unison: "For the general! For the Empire! We are willing to give up the honor of warriors this time! ”
The sonorous and powerful declaration should prove the true character of a man and his enthusiasm. This out-and-out masculinity impressed all the audience present. Especially when he learned that the soldiers in the trapped camp were so brave and loyal, the previous disdain and indignation suddenly turned into tears, and he was completely moved by them. Many spectators stood up straight excitedly, and shouted rhythmically with the soldiers trapped in the camp: "For the general!" For the Empire! For the generals! For the Empire! ”
However, passion can also be adulterated. It's like the trapped camp at this moment, except for Wei Dehai, who shouted sincerely, the other members almost didn't take the honor of the warrior seriously. If the honor of a warrior is worth a gold coin, they will not hesitate to pawn these pawns, and will never be nostalgic. Perhaps in this group of people, only the phrase "for the general" comes from their hearts, and it is not false at all.
Bang Bang Bang ......
In the corner of the crowded venue, a handsome young man was applauding gently, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a smile, which was very intriguing: "This is the legendary subordinate called the unknown general?" It's kind of interesting indeed. ”
There was an old man with a white beard beside the man, and when he heard the master's inquiry, he hurriedly responded: "Young master, the competition is imminent, you don't train soldiers, but secretly run out to watch the children play, the master is very dissatisfied." ”
"Training? What to train? Don't forget, our Sima family is the only imposter among the five heroes. Didn't the old man understand what His Majesty the Emperor was thinking? We're just making up the numbers, and we won't be ashamed even if we come to the bottom. The young man looked at the excited audience around him with great interest, and said nonchalantly: "At least I, Sima Invincible, will not think that I am ashamed......
He pursed his lips and subconsciously frowned: "The old man is really uneducated, it's not good to have a name." Sima is invincible? It's ugly. It's good to call Sima Guang, Sima Qing, and Sima leisurely. What is it called, Sima is invincible! There are so many talents in the world, I don't have the ability to be invincible. ”
The old man saw that the most outstanding descendants of the younger generation of the Sima family would be so unmotivated, and he could only sigh helplessly: "Young master, compared to your eldest brother and second brother, your name is not bad." ”
Sima Invincible snapped his fingers and smiled proudly: "That's right, Sima will win, Sima Chang won." No wonder the two brothers stay in the barracks every day except for practice, if they go to the Qinglou with me, just these two names can be laughed to death by the girls. Watching the game, watching the game, I'm looking forward to the next game. ”
