Chapter 322
At this time, the challenge zone in front of Ruya is about to be decided. Challenges are just beginning, and the first challenges are now taking place in almost all of the challenge areas. The area in front of Lu Ya was actually relatively fast.
The improvised planks and hemp ropes that had been erected on the ground were barely standing at the moment, and there was some confusion in the field that no one who was familiar with them could tell who was on the same team.
"The venue is a little small," Ruya scolded.
The area of more than ten meters square made the melee of twenty people indeed a little crowded, not to mention that there should be a few swordsman strength guards among these twenty people.
Human swordsmen and orc wrestlers seem to be the same in terms of rank, but because of the innate superiority of orcs, it is almost impossible for humans to have swordsmen of the same level who can challenge wrestlers head-on. And the reason why the orcs lost again and again in the past wars between the orcs and humans was actually lost by the population and sophisticated equipment.
It is true that empty-handed swordsmen are difficult to fight against wrestlers, but heavily armed swordsmen can indeed maneuver orcs in the Bronze Age, and this disparity is even more pronounced when human swordsmen form armies.
Of course, the use of weapons is not allowed in the competition at this moment, but due to the limited space, the swordsman's sporadic body technique does not seem to be able to be fully unleashed, and the two teams seem to be more scuffled together for melee.
There were three swordsmen in the two teams, and the sword badge on the collar of the swordsman allowed them to reveal their identities even without using their fighting spirit.
The insignia of the swordsmen is uniform, that is, a thumb-sized round black iron piece with a simple long sword engraved on it, and when they advance to the Great Swordsman, they will be replaced with a silver texture, then the gold badge of the guardian swordsman, and the spar badge of the earth swordsman.
The reason why swordsmen are called swordsmen is because they have already been able to initially master and use Dou Qi, which is a bit like the power of qi and blood in the body of an orc. However, the power of the orc's qi and blood can only be reluctantly released when it reaches the Rock Warrior stage, but the fighting spirit is indeed not limited, just like the battle between the three swordsmen in the field at this moment.
"If you watch these people fight at night, it is estimated that you will even save the lights, tsk~" Lu Ya looked at the three swordsmen in the field with a curious expression.
The three swordsmen seemed to be surrounded by a thin white halo at the moment, especially whenever they made physical contact, the light at the point of contact was even more obvious.
"Uh, Lu... Few..... Young master, their fighting spirit will not shine at night, Captain Berry said that it is just an illusion, and it will only appear during the day and when there is light" Xiong Er couldn't help but say after hearing Lu Ya's words.
"Ahem~ I'm just joking" Lu Ya rolled his eyes, he didn't expect to lose someone in front of these two goods, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that he seemed to have heard Bai Lifu say this before.
It is said that the vindictive spirit does not actually shine, it is just an illusion. However, in Lu Ya's opinion, it should not be called an illusion, this should be an optical refraction reaction, Lu Ya feels that since it is called Dou Qi, it may really be a 'gas' emitted from the body, because of some special reasons, it will form a refraction in the air, just like a rainbow, and it will not emit light by itself.
At this time, the battle in the field was basically decided, and in the case of two to one, the lone swordsman quickly couldn't withstand the fight between the two and the other, and he was already shaky and a little unstable, Lu Ya felt that he either surrendered immediately, or he would be bullied by the two and estimated to end up with broken bones.
"Wait, I admit defeat" The swordsman finally chose his hands and feet to be intact, and opened his mouth to surrender.
With the surrender of the highest combat power, the originally entangled guards in the field immediately divided into two groups, and then the loser left dejectedly, and the victor waited for a new challenge with a happy face.
"Young Master, let's go up," Xiong Er said as he looked down at Lu Ya.
"Well, let's go to the ....." Lu Ya's voice had not yet fallen, and a pair of guards quickly walked out of the crowd of onlookers, one of them first went to the overseer next to the challenge area and said something, and then the soldier looked at them, nodded his head, and then the group of people entered the challenge area.
"Uh, I guess we're going to register first" Lu Ya was a little clear, and he was a little depressed at random, he estimated that he came in late just now, so he didn't know that there was such a procedure.
But think about it, too, if you don't even have a sorting, it's not a way for everyone to rush up.
Thinking of this, Lu Ya hurriedly squeezed with Xiong Daxiong Er to the supervising soldiers, and after some inquiry, he learned that he had to simply report his name first, and then wait for the challenge in descending order.
It wasn't until after Lu Ya reported his team information to the soldier that he learned from the soldier who looked at them with a strange expression that his team had reached the nineteenth rank.
"This ......," Ruya looked at the sky a little speechless.
"It doesn't seem to be your turn" frowned and thought about it several times, how could Lu Ya feel that his chances of being able to come to power were really a little slim.
"There are a total of thirty-five places, there are two thousand people here, even if they are all ten-person teams, there are as many as two hundred teams, and there are almost twenty teams in each challenge area, and it is very likely that the nineteenth team will be the last team in this challenge area" The more Lu Ya calculated, the more regretted he became.
"I knew I didn't pretend to be 13 just now, if I had run faster just now, I would have been in the top five, no, the top ten would be fine, hey~!"
While being annoyed, Lu Ya pondered, he knew that even if he went to other regions now, he was estimated to be at the bottom, but this was the nineteenth, and it was estimated that he would not be able to wait for himself to go up, and the three places had already been divided.
"Hey~" sighed, and Lu Ya looked at the field with his hands helplessly.
In the following time, the plot was completely according to Luya's guess, this was not originally a life-and-death battle, whether or not they were eligible to get a place, these teams had basically guessed the result before they played.
And except for the first one or two battles at the beginning, there was some anger between the teams, and basically they were restrained later. After all, the winning team needs to win three games in a row to get a spot, and if you try too hard, you will probably not be able to hold on to the end of three games, and you will be tired first.
Therefore, many people were eliminated directly from the venue, and the broken tendons were basically gone. Du Lu also seemed to feel that the atmosphere around him was not as tense as just now, and his stomach was squeezed along the way to change this shape, and it took a lot of effort to come to Lu Ya's side, and after a brief understanding of the situation, he also understood the current situation.
"It seems that the two of us have no hope of getting a place, I hope that Crumb won't be really ruthless and let us go to the city for a month, hey~"
Looking at Dulu's belly like a full-term pregnant woman, Luya wanted to say, in fact, you should really lose weight for a month. However, he reckoned that Duru might not really be able to hold on.
Time passed slowly, and there was not much time left before the noon time deadline, at this time, there was already the third batch of challengers in the challenge area in front of Luya, the first two places had been selected, and the third place was estimated to be contested in another competition.
"No. 13! Team No. 13 can't get up yet!" the Overseer searched on tiptoe.
"We're not on," said one of them, walking up to the overseer. The defenders in the field couldn't help but show smug expressions.
Among the ten members of their team, there are fully half of the swordsmen, and after winning two games, everyone knows their strength, and the No. 13 team has no hope of winning, and they directly choose to abstain.
"No. 13 abstained, did No. 14 also admit it~" The soldier seemed to feel that there was one less battle, and he was very unhappy, and his words revealed a sense of provocation, which caused the surrounding spectators to also coax.
"We also abstained," said one of the guards of Team 14, who was a little embarrassed as he approached the Overseer, and then fled as if he were squeezing out of the crowd.
"Hahaha, this group of cowards"
"It's a guy with no eggs at first glance, hahaha"
"You can go up if you don't encourage you, if all teams abstain, they can have their own challenges"
"Hmph~ If there are so many swordsmen in our team, we will be in the morning"
The discussion next to him made Lu Ya's eyes light up, and he saw hope. If the previous team abstains, the order of challenges will be postponed until all the challenging teams have abstained, and that team will be able to get a spot directly.
"No. 15~"
"We abstain~"
"No. 16~"
"Abstaining~"
"No. 17~"
"Abandoned...."
Just as Lu Ya was about to go directly to the field, there was a commotion and a few shouts from the team behind him, and a passage was forcibly opened by a group of people.
"Get out of the way~"
"Get out of here!"
"Young Master, slow down"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way for our young master"
The crowd struggled to separate to both sides, and a group of more than a dozen people came to the periphery of the challenge zone.
"Are you blind, can't you see the way that is blocking our young master?"
At the head was a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guard, glaring at Lu Ya and the others, and wanted to reach out to get rid of the few guys in front of him.
With Lu Ya's reminder, Xiong Da Xiong and the two of them just clenched their fists and glared at the guard in front of them who could be pinched to death with one hand, and Lu Ya looked at the young man who was surrounded by a group of people with a smile and said:
"Master Devon, I didn't expect you to come to this kind of place in person"
"Hey, young master, I'm still thinking about where to find you, so you will send it to the door yourself, my person is you. Hmph~ I will definitely let you taste the young master's power in a while, and then ......."
"The 18th is not there, the 18th ~"
Devon's words were interrupted by the shouts of the overseer, who first looked at the soldier impatiently, and then gestured, and a tall guard beside him leaped into the challenge zone.
"The 18th is here, you guys go up together" The tall guard squinted at the ten people opposite, and anyone could see the contempt.
