Black Forest Town, Si Goh Province. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the night sky, a light rain moistens the air, giving it a foggy and psychedelic feel.
Xue Yiwu sat on the railing of the verandah, looking up at the faint yellow-edged moonlight, her eyes soft, as if she wanted to see something through the moonlight.
"Sister, are you thinking about your brother again?"
On the snow-white neck, the round necklace emitted a faint blue light, slightly hanging in the air and flipping left and right.
Xue Yiwu's face suddenly turned red, her skin was particularly crystal white, and at this time, the ruddy color became more obvious, if anyone saw it, they would inevitably have a feeling of beauty and incomprehensible beauty.
"No, Akane, I'm just thinking about the challenge. She blushed, lowered her head and whispered, "Today should be the first day of the sergeant competition, and I don't know what their condition is." ”
Xiao Qian's voice suddenly lowered: "It's all because of my relationship that my sister can't go to Qinzhen with my brother." ”
Xue Yiwu shook her head again and again: "Qiao is just worried about your safety in Qin Town. It's better for us to stay in Blackwood, so he can concentrate on his own business and don't have to worry about the future. ”
"Sister is right!" Xiao Qian cheered up: "With my brother here, this challenge will definitely be fine!"
"Yes...... Shhhhh ”
The blue light on the necklace vanished instantly, hanging down on Shae's chest, and she turned her head to look in the direction of the sound of footsteps coming from the hallway.
"Sister Snow!"
"Sister Snow!"
Two voices came in unison, and at the same time, two petite figures ran in front of Xue Yiwu in small steps, it was Qiao Dingtong's twin sisters, Little Red Flower and Little Orchid.
However, their current names are Wei Hong and Wei Lan.
Different from the skinny appearance when they were first bought from the slave market, the current twins have become more and more slim after more than half a year of conditioning, standing together, like two slightly blooming lotus, especially after following Uncle Gen to start cultivating, they have a little more mysterious feeling, like a dream, there is a kind of unreal beauty.
"Little Red Orchid, what's wrong?"
The backgrounds of the three girls are very similar, and after a few months of getting along, their relationship is very harmonious, so Xue Yiwu calls them very affectionate.
But at this moment, the twins' expressions were a little hurried, and the hair on both temples was wet, obviously running over in the rain.
"Someone wants to meet Master Scott!"
"He said he was from Suzaku City!"
Suzaku Castle?
Xue Yiwu was startled, and the whole person suddenly stood up.
"It's not good, go find Master Guan!"
......
"Did you surrender? Are you taking this challenge as a child's play?"
Qin Ziyu looked at Du Tianwen coldly, his eyes full of sarcasm.
At this moment, the two were not alone, but gathered with other Qin Dulai people at Chang Mingqi's residence, ready to discuss the results of the first day of the sergeant competition.
Du Tianwen was no longer smiling now, anger flashed on his face, and then he hid under Mu Ran's expression and chose to ignore it.
"Okay, don't argue!" Chang Mingqi, who was sitting in the middle, spoke: "Everyone feels uncomfortable when they lose the sergeant competition, but Du Tianwensige's approach is right. ”
Everyone looked at Chang Mingqi.
"In just three and a half hours, Qin Zhen annihilated almost half of Qin Du's troops with a loss of less than one-third, this gap is too big, even if Du Sige chose to continue fighting at that time, he would only bring back more deaths in the end, this is not the result we wanted, so it was not wrong for him to choose to admit defeat!"
On the side, Du Qisheng suddenly spoke: "Since the gap is so big, then in the next two games, will we directly admit defeat?"
A thick sense of irony filled the room, causing all Scotts to pause for a moment.
Chang Mingqi looked around and found that except for Qiao Ximing, who was silent in the corner, most of them had the same expression as Du Qisheng.
He suddenly sneered.
"What, is it possible that the head of the Du family wants to give up?"
Du Qisheng's expression froze, snorted, and did not answer.
"Everyone here is the elite of Qin Du Town, and you should know more or less about the reason for this challenge. Choosing to submit the challenge application is not a whim of Chang, if I don't do it, it will still be the people of Qin Du Town who will regret it in the end......"
Among the crowd, some people were silent, and some people showed doubts, but when they saw the solemn expressions of Chang Mingqi, Qin Yulin and Du Qisheng, the two heads of the family at this time, they all consciously did not interject.
"The most important thing is that although the first sergeant competition was a failure, we were not without gains. ”
Hearing this, everyone raised their eyebrows.
Chang Mingqi turned his head to look at Wei Lun behind Du Tianwen and asked, "Captain Wei Lun, tell me, what was the biggest advantage of Sergeant Qin Zhen in the first battle?"
Viren bowed his head slightly.
In the first sergeant competition, in addition to the final victory, he was another highlight that attracted everyone's attention.
"The sergeants of Qin Zhen, although most of their cultivation is on the same level as our sergeants, whether it is their combat quality or combat experience, they are all far beyond us, especially the run-in between the sergeants. In terms of individual combat effectiveness, they can achieve one against two, and in group combat, they can fight with one against three, not to mention the elite troops. Combat effectiveness is the biggest gap between Sergeant Qin Du and them. ”
"That's a good point. Chang Mingqi nodded: "Sergeant Qin Du's combat quality is indeed not as good as Qin Zhen's, this is an unavoidable problem, but this is not the only thing that widens the gap between our two sides. ”
Viren was stunned.
"Captain, you mentioned the elite troops in Qin Town, referring to the fifty people they were responsible for staying in the middle tent, right?"
"Yes, Mayor Mare. ”
Chang Mingqi sneered: "Those fifty people, although the average level does belong to the upper class among those thousand people, but if you really talk about the elite, they are not worthy!"
Except for the two heads of the family, the rest of the people were shocked.
Fifty people hit two hundred people hard, if this is not an elite force, then how can this challenge continue?
Viren's brows furrowed even more, and there was a questioning look in his eyes.
But Chang Mingqi's face was full of determination, and he said slowly: "In this sergeant competition, Du Sige's battle plan is very correct, the head-on conflict is not the right way, and the assault on the opponent's middle account can be said to be our only chance of winning, and the two doubtful strategies, Captain Wei Lun paved the situation of fifty people against two hundred, which is already a very good result." However, this strategy misses a bit......"
"--Octagon Bow!"
The three words immediately reminded everyone of the giant bow used by the fifty sergeants in the middle tent of Qin Zhen when they defended.
Chang Mingqi's face was surprisingly gloomy: "Eight bows, open the bow and shoot eight directions." The reason why those sergeants were able to do one bow and eight arrows and force back our two hundred sergeants was entirely due to the Bafang Bow! However, this was something they should not have. ”
Several Zhonghou, as well as a few Sigo, including Viren, all seemed to think of something after hearing the name of the Bafang Bow, and they all showed solemn expressions.
"There are nine grades of instruments, but the Bafang Bow does not belong to any of them, it is...... A specialty of the Ubu Mansion!"
Youwu Mansion!
Those who didn't know much about the Bafang Bow were speechless at the moment, after all, as one of the two mansions after the imperial capital, the name of the Right Martial Mansion really shocked them.
"You should all have an idea of the legends of mankind. Before the remnants of the human race settled in the abandoned boat star, what we relied on was not the power of the capable, but a power called science, even if there was no vitality, human beings could still rely on science to turn over rivers and seas, rubble and move mountains, but the abandoned boat star made this power gradually decline, and even disappeared in the eyes of ordinary people, reduced to a magical factor in a story. But science hasn't gone away!"
In the corner, Qiao Ximing suddenly felt a shock in his chest.
"For more than two hundred years, the Zuo Wen Mansion was responsible for the fabrication and revision of the exercises, while the Right Wu Mansion was responsible for the construction and strengthening of weapons, which involved not only the instrument path and the formation path, but also the legacy handed down by our ancestors is still affecting us in a potential way. The Bafang Bow is one of the weapons created by the Right Martial Mansion with scientific power, as long as you hold it, even ordinary people who are not at the military level can have the strength equivalent to the initial stage of the military level!"
If you don't join the army and don't kill the barbarians, the power of science seems to have broken this common sense.
"However, the weapons of the Right Martial Mansion are not everywhere, the Bafang Bow belongs to the regular configuration of the four major cities, and there is no quota for the first-level towns and cities, so we ignored this aspect at first. ”
Du Tianwen suddenly interjected: "Mayor Chang, according to this meaning, are you saying that Youwu Mansion is secretly supporting the Qin family to win this challenge?"
"No!"
The answer was not very strange, but Du Qisheng, who was silent for a while.
He twisted the emerald green wrench on the thumb of his right hand, shook his head and said: "With the strength of the Right Martial Mansion, if they want to support the Qin family, they don't need to do it in this way at all, we are just afraid that we won't even have the opportunity to challenge, these fifty eight-sided bows should be obtained by Qin Shoutai through other means." ”
Chang Mingqi nodded: "If the Right Martial Mansion is supporting the Qin family, then it is necessary for us to continue to challenge, but with the level of the Qin family, it is impossible to pull such a level of help, so we have to continue this battle!"
After a pause, he turned his head to look at Viren again: "Captain, if there is no Bafang Bow, if there is no one more battle, what do you think your chances of winning?"
Wei Lun pondered for a while before raising his head: "If I don't have the Bafang Bow, I have a thirty percent chance of winning!"
Many people frowned after hearing this, even if there was no Bafang Bow, the chance of winning 30% was really not high, but when they thought about it on the other hand, if they were responsible for leading the army, they probably wouldn't even have a 30% chance of winning.
"Thirty percent, it's not less!" Chang Mingqi's eyes sharpened: "Don't forget, the Sergeant Competition is only a part of the whole event, and there is also a General Competition behind, so there is no need for us to be discouraged now." What we have to do now is to try to make them lose the advantage of the Bafang Bow!"
Everyone frowned.
The idea of getting the other side to give up the advantage in weapons is good, but if it is really realized, it is not easy to say!
At this time, Qiao Ximing suddenly walked out of the corner.
"I have a plan for that!"
