Chapter 664: Candidates for Naval Battles
The second day of the Great Demon Fight.
Athletics: Naval Battles!
"Naval Battle, ......"
"Do any of us have the ability to fight at sea?"
In the Demon Tail Position, Makarov frowned and thought bitterly, as the head of the guild, he had the obligation to select the most suitable person among the remaining five people to participate in today's competitive competition.
"Time is running out!"
Kira glanced at the countdown on the crystal screen in the venue, giving each guild thirteen minutes to choose who to play.
"Elusa has the armor to fight on the water, and Mira has the demon form to fight on the water, so let one of them go."
"That's what I thought too."
Makarov nodded, and said, "The strength of Elusa and Mira is between the best, and you can send whoever you play, but the strength of the other guilds should not be underestimated, if you can, I still want to wait for the other guilds to be elected, and then send the one with the best character to fight." ”
After thinking about it, several people felt that what Makarov said also made sense.
"Let me go!"
Before Kira could begin to analyze the other guilds' possible candidates, Elusa volunteered.
"Does Elusa want to go first? Why? ”
"Because Mira had already played in fight mode yesterday, I would have preferred to let her play......"
The players selected in the fight mode are random, and the only thing that can be determined is that they will not be repeated, that is, it is impossible to choose Mira to participate in the fight again after participating in the fight mode, and if Elusa is unlucky to be selected to participate in the fight after participating in the competitive mode, it will undoubtedly be a loss.
But Elusa also has her own reasons: "The strength of the other guilds is very strong, especially the team of the Twelve Shields, their strength is too strong, and we may not be able to win all of them in the fighting stage." And the candidates for competitive mode cannot be repeated, if I lose in fighting mode first, I will lose the opportunity to participate in competitive mode. ”
That sounds like a bit of a point, but it's just ......
The crowd looked at Elusa stunned, surprised that she would say something like, 'I might lose.'
"Huh~ It's rare to see you so unconfident......"
"I'm just preparing for the worst!"
Elusa looked at the arena with a blank face and sighed silently.
She is actually very helpless in her heart, but there is no way, the magic of the twelve shields is too buggy, if she meets Brantishna in the fight mode later, it is okay to say, she already has a great deal of form, but if it is against Timaria, she may not even be able to react, and she will be picked up by the other party in public.
Thinking about defeat before winning is indeed a point that we need to pay attention to at all times in military battles.
So Makarov slapped his head and determined who would play.
"Oh well! Just let Elusa play! ”
The battlefield of the naval battle was an artificial lake, which was built on the original arena, and the area was about three-fifths of the bluestone slab arena, which was quite large.
The lake is about five meters deep, and there are hundreds of round stone pillars inserted in it, which are distributed irregularly, and vary in size, length, and thickness.
"Today's event is 'Naval Battle', and the rules are as follows: eight players need to fight on the lake, and if they fall into the water, they lose, and the winner will get 5 points, which means that the player's score will become 10 points!"
The announcer got a new wig today, but the suit and tie and the loud voice didn't change much.
Beside him, there is still the former councilor Yajma, and the mysterious pumpkin man, and the three of them use the way of communication, commenting on the advantages and disadvantages of the eight magicians participating in the naval battle today.
"Fairy Tail is a very famous sorcerer, Elusa Shukaletto, who looks confident!"
"The Emperor's Shield is sent by Imbel, who had a fight match yesterday, and we already know that he is an ice magician, and indeed this kind of magic is beneficial to water fighting!"
As a former councilor, Yajma had a nimble mind and quickly thought of what might happen later: "I think I'm going to freeze the lake and fight on the ice, isn't that a foul?" ”
The announcer replied: "The rules only say 'if you fall into the water, you lose', and I think it should be no problem to stand on the ice." ”
"If the lake is completely frozen, won't the game never end?"
"Well...... I think the players have a way, and if that happens, the players will intervene. ”
The two looked at the mysterious pumpkin man beside them, waiting for the 'mascot' of the race party to speak.
"Ahh Well...... this."
The mysterious pumpkin man hesitated for two seconds and said, "The race party originally took into account the situation of the ice magician freezing the lake, so there are some preparations, pumpkin~"
"However, judging from the fighting performance of Infbell yesterday, we have no doubt that he can easily freeze the entire lake, which is really beyond our expectations, and the previous preparation may not come in handy, pumpkin~"
"So if there is a situation of 'unable to fall into the water', then the original strength will determine the winner, pumpkin~"
After the addition of the pumpkin people, the judges and the audience also understood the more complete rules of the competition.
"The 'Witch's Sin' sent out the same magician Urrutia, who participated in the fight yesterday and is familiar with ice magic, so it seems that today's competition may turn into a battle on the ice!"
"Oops~ I know a little bit about Urrutia's magic, the lost magic 'Arc of Time', if she plays, it is possible to end the game in one go!"
Hearing that Yajima on the judges' bench was like an old fox, smiling and tearing down his old bottom, and making other people's eyes focus on himself, Urrutia, who had just stepped on the field, suddenly had a black line: "This old guy, shouldn't he still hate me for destroying the Senate and causing him to lose his job......
Other players: "......"
Well deserved! Let you be idle and destroy the building, hurt others and lose their jobs, now you know that the old man is not good to offend!
Yin Fan, who had worked in the Senate for a while, smiled: "Speaking of which, I heard that Yajimasan had been lying in bed for a long time before recovering because of the collapse of the Senate......"
At this time, Urrutia became more and more sure of her guess, looked at the old man on the stage and gritted her teeth and said, "Huh...... This old man is really taking revenge! ”
Yin Fan is naturally the candidate sent by the 'Cyan Pegasus', and he uses snow-based magic, and he has the ability that is closest to the project of 'Naval Battle'.
The 'Crow's Tail' sent Narum Puddingku, the Humpty Dumpty who targeted Gray in the 'Covert' project in the original story, and his magic 'Needle Blast' had nothing to do with water, so it didn't seem to be suitable for the 'Naval Battle' competition, so everyone speculated that they should have given up on this competition.
But Kira thought about it, this guy is still good, and if he uses the foul stink tactic of destroying the stone pillar, it will be enough to disgust the players.
The 'Four-Headed Hound' sent out an unknown dragon trap, not very strong, and Kira didn't even remember the name.
The 'Heart of the Dragon' sent out one of the twin girls, Silk, Kira hadn't seen her at the Dragon Slaying Research Institute, so she should be a new member in the past two years, and judging from the nature of her magical power, this girl is also a second-generation Dragon Slayer Magister, but she doesn't know what attribute it is.
"Silver, didn't you say they didn't have a Dragon Slayer Crystal? That's a lie! ”
Just as he was complaining, the announcer's excited voice sounded again: "Unbelievable! Unbelievable!
The 'Scales of the Snake Queen' sent out their trump card, the magician who bears the name of the 'Holy Ten', Gula Rekis!
”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gula walked up with a round bald head, and he didn't know what shampoo he used, but his head was shining at the moment.
"Oh oh oh it's Gula!
”
"It's me!
”
"Guela actually appeared the next day?!"
From the cheers at the scene, it can be seen that Gula is very popular in the Fiore Kingdom.
Since the Emperor's Shield has only been around for three months, and the tournament has only featured two people so far, the guild is unfamiliar to these audiences.
In their eyes, the final winner of this tournament is still between the three guilds with the 'Ten Saint Magi', that is, the 'Snake Scale' where Gura is located, the 'Witch's Sin' led by Gerald, and the 'Fairy Tail' where Kira is located.
Nowadays, people in the wizarding world basically know that the 'Witch's Sin' was formed by the main combat forces of the former 'Six Demon Generals' and the 'Demon Heart', and the audience judged that they were extraordinary. Even if Gerald can't fight because he's the guild leader, the strength of the others is much stronger than the magicians of the ordinary guild.
It's just that they know that both guilds were destroyed by Fairy Tail.
Therefore, in their hearts, the strength rankings of these three guilds are: Fairy Tail> Witch's Sin> Snake Queen's Scales.
But when it comes to popularity, even in view of the face of the royal family, the 'Witch's Sin' transformed from the Dark Guild is still very low in the hearts of the public, far inferior to the old Light Guild of 'Snake Scales'.
Seeing Gula's appearance, the seven contestants were all stunned, and no one expected that Gula would appear in such an obviously incompatible project.
It stands to reason that the most suitable for the 'Naval Battle' in the 'Scales of the Serpent Queen' should be Leon, who uses ice magic, but unfortunately, he has been eliminated by Imber yesterday.
"Is it because Leon, the second person in the guild, was defeated, so you can't wait to recover your morale today?"
As Imbell spoke, the clear glasses on his face reflected the light like Gula's bald head.
As the archon of the Albarez Empire, he has collected a lot of information during his time in the Fiore Kingdom, except for the 'Dragon's Heart', which is also a new guild, and the 'Crow's Tail', which has just turned back to the Light Guild, he has different degrees of understanding of the other guilds.
"No way, the nagging old lady in our house was so angry yesterday."
Knowing that the future game would not have a geographical advantage, Gula's face was still full of confidence, and this was the courage of the 'Ten Saint Magicians'.
Such an aura made several players who were about to participate feel a certain amount of pressure - except for Inbell.
In the demon tail position, Kira looked at the confident Gula on the field, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"The last time I saw Gula, he didn't seem to have that much beard, did he?"
"It's unbelievable that the beard grows so fast, but the hair follicles on the head are bare!"
