Chapter 143: The Battle of the Chosen One
As the referee announced the start of the competition, the most eye-catching battle in the competition finally kicked off.
The two warring parties, Roshan Yin Leia and the Earth Bear Gargaon, were at loggerheads because of their grievances before the war, and this battle was not only about the life and death and honor of the two.
It's also a contest between the gods behind them.
In the mythology of the continent of Brattis, there are similar accounts of the gods arguing over a disagreement, and even preparing to fight.
However, considering the potentially disastrous consequences of the War of the Gods, the two sides of the dispute eventually accepted the mediation of the god-king Diogenes, and instead chose a brave man from the continent to fight on their behalf.
They agreed with each other that the losing side also needed to accept all the conditions of the other side, and this kind of contest was also known as the battle of the chosen ones.
Of course, strictly speaking, the battle between Yin Leia and the Earth Bear is not the legendary Battle of the Chosen One, but it is similar in nature to the Battle of the Chosen One.
Even during the pre-war blessing ceremony, the two sides were-for-tat and showed miracles to each other.
Edward II looked at Conelia, who had just sat down beside him, and said in surprise, "I didn't know you could summon flames as well. ”
"I can't." The priestess said, "The goddess of life, in order to prevent us from being greedy, each person can only receive one gift from her at most, and I have already received a gift from her, and I am grateful. ”
Edward II was stunned for a moment, but soon understood, "That maid next to you...... Manipulating flames is her bloodline ability. ”
Cornelia nodded.
"But Yin Leia got several abilities from Saturday, thunder, flames, smoke, not to mention the tube in her hand that makes a loud noise and can hurt people invisibly."
"Martial arts competitions are not won by whoever has more ability." The priestess said, and then she noticed that the eldest prince Garth was not in the stands today, and asked, "How is the matter of someone wanting Yin Leia to withdraw from the tournament?" ”
"I asked Duren to investigate Cleder, and found out that he placed a big bet in the casino about ten days ago, and that guy pressed almost his entire net worth, about sixty or seventy thousand golden lions, and also borrowed money."
"So this matter is entirely Klede's own idea, and it has nothing to do with Garth?" Cornelia frowned.
"Garth has a few minor problems, but he's still a good boy by and large." Edward II said, "He knows that I admire Yin Leia, and he will not do anything stupid at such a time." ”
The priestess was silent.
"What are you thinking?" Edward II curious.
"I'd like to meet Cleder."
"Why are you so interested in this? Even if there are other people behind Crade, they are only targeting Yin Leia, not your church. ”
"I've seen Krider before, and he does love money, but not so crazy that he puts his entire net worth on one person, no matter how high the Earth Bear's win rate is.
"Besides, most people are not optimistic that Yin Leiya can win now, so he doesn't need to take this risk at all."
"I forgot to tell you something," said Edward II, his face a little strange, "Kleide is not betting on the Earth Bear. ”
"Huh?"
"He used all the money to buy a foreign warrior nicknamed Camel and won, but that guy also made it to the quarterfinals, which is the biggest dark horse in the tournament."
"Investigate the camel." Cornelia then explained, "I'm not concerned about this because of Yin Leia, but because I suspect that someone is planning a bigger conspiracy behind it. ”
Edward II was a little unimpressed when he heard this, "After the palace coup of the Wettin family, I took the opportunity to carry out a great purge of the Imperial Guards, reducing the influence of the other eleven families in it.
"The commander of the garrison has also been replaced by Essos, he is a smart man, and he no longer has the courage of his youth, he will remain loyal to those on the bone seat, I don't think there is any danger in the royal capital now.
"When our plan begins, I will send the Royal Knights to the front line, recruit a group of young people, and train them well, and then the city will be completely impregnable.
"Don't think about it, Cornelia, the tournament has begun, let's enjoy the duel between the two great warriors."
While Edward II was speaking, the Earth Bear had already rushed towards Yin Leia.
Miss Rabbit repeated her old tricks, quickly removing a dueling pistol from her belt and pointing it at her opponent.
However, the distance between the two sides was still a little far away at this time, and it was difficult for Yin Leiya to shoot through the gap in the armor of the Earth Bear.
So the girl waited a little longer, until the Earth Bear ran a few steps closer, and then raised her gun to aim, and Miss Rabbit could hear her own pounding heartbeat.
She tried to get rid of the distractions in her mind, held her breath, kept her arm steady, and pulled the trigger.
The next moment, the flint collided with the fire sickle and grazed off sparks, propelling the lead bullet in the barrel to shoot out!
At about the same time, the Earth Bear suddenly stopped and held the giant shield in front of him.
This is...... A defensive stance after hearing a gunshot? No, it would be too late then, someone in the Life Church should have carefully studied her previous seven competitions and summed up her shooting radius.
Or take it a step further, the Earth Bear simply read her intentions and made a prediction in advance, which would be terrifying if it was the latter.
However, Yin Leiya didn't have time to think about it at all, so she pulled out the second gun and pointed it at the Earth Bear again.
Then, without hesitation, he lit a smoke bomb and threw it behind the Earth Bear, but something unexpected happened to the girl, just as the Coke can was about to fly over the Earth Bear's head.
A giant sword was raised high and slashed across the sky, and then the smoke bomb was split in two by the sword, and the debris of the ping-pong ball flew all over the sky.
In the end, only a small part was ignited, and not much smoke was produced at all.
Yin Leia was stunned, and the Earth Bear took the opportunity to take two more steps forward, his steps were very large, one step and a half above ordinary people.
Yin Leiya, who came back to her senses, hurriedly lit the second smoke bomb, and didn't care about throwing it far away to block the Earth Bear, so she hurriedly threw it in front of her.
But the Earth Bear came faster than she had imagined, and before the smoke could spread, his sword arrived first.
The hair on the female lord's body stood up, and regardless of her ugly posture, she hurriedly rolled on the spot, the sword almost grazed her body and slashed, Yin Leiya even heard the sword wind whistling in her ears!
