Chapter 127: Ryan's Stratagem (2)
Seeing that her opponents didn't care about her approaching, maybe they had other plans? Christina secretly reminded herself that as the leader of the Royal Knights' team, she must keep a clear head at all times, and she must not be careless.
Christina knew that the Race team was a very powerful team of adventurers, although their cooperation was still a little far away from their own, but some of the team members between them had the strength to determine the outcome of the game, and in a game, even if they were only negligent for a few seconds, they could be seized by the opponent to launch a fatal blow.
The mage of Simeone's team, who blessed himself with the ability to "stone skin technique", was still knocked unconscious by Alundo's slam blow, and the captain of the Thunder team, Bailey, was put on his throat by Ryan with a short sword even if he launched a powerful "void protection", which is enough to show the strength of some members of Lace's team.
Christina whispered a series of orders to her teammates, and she kept moving the formation, allowing Calvin, Wendy, and White to feign flaws and lure their opponents into attacking.
Calvin, Wendy, and White faithfully carried out Christina's orders. Calvin pretended to be impatient, and "rashly" launched an attack on Oz, who was at the front of the Lace team. Oz raised his shield to block Calvin's warhammer, then pushed Calvin away with a hard push, but didn't fight back.
Venti took advantage of Calvin's retreat to rush forward and take Calvin's original position, his long sword in his hand cutting several dazzling arcs in the air, trying to disrupt Elendor's vision and lure him to attack him.
Alendor just glanced at Wendy, unmoved. However, Ryan, who was behind Allendo, leaned out half of his body and raised his left hand slightly, and a small ball of flame jumped in his hand.
The dazzling flames caught in Wendy's eyes, startling him in the heart. Wendy hurriedly stepped back and placed herself in the protective range of her teammates. This young magician named Ryan can even defeat Bailey, who is known as the "genius of magic in the imperial capital", and he can't be careless.
Seeing that his two companions were unsuccessful, White took a few steps out, broke away from his teammates, and pretended to be trying to bypass Oz, who was in front of Lace's team, to attack Farrath.
It stands to reason that White's move was very risky, and Lace could have let him go, then block his teammates and concentrate their men to take him down.
However, Lace's team did not do as Christina expected, and Faras reached out and released a flame burn, blocking White's direction, and then Oz moved slightly to the right, blocking White's path.
White saw that the opponent was defending tightly, so he had to slowly retreat back.
The first temptation of the Royal Knights squad ended like this.
In this tentative attack, the Lace team behaved very calmly, it seemed that their opponent was not the Royal Knights squad that had dominated the Atletico Royale for twenty years, and there was no nervousness and impatience of other opponents at all, on the contrary, the Lace team was extremely patient, and their dense defense made Christina feel a little powerless.
Limited to the teachings of the Church of Light and the beliefs of the Holy Knights, the Holy Knights will never use long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows to fight, but in this way, the Royal Knights squad lacks the advantage of long-range combat and lacks effective offensive means in the face of the enemy's dense defense.
On the battlefield, this is not obvious. Because when the Holy Knights are in large-scale battles, they are usually equipped with an elite crossbowman army behind them for long-range support, and the cavalry charge of the Royal Knights is enough to destroy the dense defenses of most enemies, and even the denser the opponent's formation, the better the charge of the Royal Knights.
But when it came to the Royal Arena, Christina had to admit that the method of the Lace team today was the best one to deal with herself, the Lace team had two magicians, and there was no shortage of long-range attack means, and there was also a warrior and a transformed druid in melee combat, plus the assistance of the priest, it was built into a simple but very effective combat system.
"Could it be that there are people among the opponents who know how to do military affairs?" a thought suddenly popped up in Christina's heart: "Otherwise, how could the Lace team behave like today? However, in the Holy Alliance Empire, only a very small number of people will have the opportunity to learn about operations, command, and strategy, how can ordinary people come into contact with these things?"
Christina was silent on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking quickly about the information she had seen about the members of Lace's team in the past few days, and she clearly remembered that when the young magician Faraz was studying magic in the Royal Academy of Magic, she only studied aristocratic etiquette, which was normal for a nobleman. And the priest named Red has lived in the Church of Light since he was a child, and he spends most of his time worshipping his main god and training as a priest, and has no time to study military affairs at all.
Christina believed that the one who was proficient in military affairs in her opponent was definitely not the two of them, because with their status as nobles and priests, there was no chance to command the army on the battlefield.
"Then it must be someone else, who could it be?" Christina eliminated one by one in her mind: "That warrior was a mercenary before, mainly in the area of Seabreeze City, and then Faras and the others went to Seabreeze City to join the Ress team, and it is unlikely that he will be exposed to this aspect as a mercenary, otherwise he would not have been an ordinary mercenary for so long."
The druid named Allendo is indeed very powerful, but it is always known that the druids are brave in battle, but they are limited to small-scale battles, and they live in seclusion all year round, how can they have a special military academy to study systematically?
"Could it be the young magician?" Christina came to the conclusion after ruling out all possibilities. But what puzzled Christina was, where did the young magician named Ryan learn this military knowledge?
While Christina's heart was full of confusion, the Royal Knights squad inevitably had a flaw. This flaw appeared very briefly, but Faras suddenly noticed it, and a small red flame immediately appeared in her hand, and Faras was about to use a "fireball technique" to tear through the opponent's tight formation, but as soon as she recited a spell, she was stopped by Ryan's hand.
