Chapter 108: The First Match
"Lord Baron, spare your life, our family has contributed to the Frank family for generations, shed blood for the family, I want to see the old baron!" Hmmm......"
As he spoke, the sides of the man's mouth were covered with torture instruments that forced him to smile, and he was taken away from the scene by the mounted police.
The joy of the flying badminton festival in the eyes of the surrounding Frank citizens has long since disappeared, and has been replaced by endless fear.
With a single move, the aura is enough to shock 30,000 people, and the momentum and majesty of the Frank family are undoubtedly revealed.
The host said in a more cautious trembling voice: "Next, please invite sixteen participating teams to enter the ......."
The flying shuttlecock march began to play again, and the participating teams began to hold up their signs to enter.
These sixteen teams are from various chambers of commerce, aristocratic forces, and local towns in Frank City, and the two teams that attract the most attention are naturally the two teams that are at the bottom - the Mounted Police Team and the White Rose Team.
As is customary, the winning team of the previous edition will be the last to appear at the ceremony of the next edition, but this year, the original champion has been split into two parts.
When the Frank Mounted Police team took the stage, the audience burst into deafening cheers, as well as various whistles and shouts. Everyone knows that the Mounted Police Regiment is almost a private soldier raised by the baron's own family, and this face must be given enough.
The Mounted Police team is led by Paul, whose flying badminton competition level is among the best in the Mounted Police Regiment, and he is the main striker against the enemy in the previous Flying Badminton Champions Cup.
Paul raised his proud head, and although his face was cold, the corners of his mouth were unconsciously curved, revealing the pride that could not be concealed in his heart.
He is a professional when it comes to fox and tiger power.
This was followed by the last White Rose team, led by Charlotte.
As soon as the White Rose team appeared, the Frank Mounted Police around the rostrum began to lead the rhythm and let out bursts of boos.
Soon, the boos began to spread, and the whole audience began to hear boos one after another.
In addition, there was a chatter and discussion among flying badminton enthusiasts around.
"This year, the non-commissioned officer school team has been split into two parts, and there is no hope for the White Rose team."
"The main striker Scott and the main defender Milos are gone, and there are a lot of new faces this year, how can you fight with the Mounties?"
"That newcomer named Charlotte, it seems to be his debut, can he really fly shuttlecock?"
These negative voices, which had no expectation of White Rose, combined with the boos of the surrounding audience, reached the ears of the players.
Their faces were equally uneasy.
For them, this year's Flying Badminton Champions Tournament is the bait that attracts the attention of the Baron.
It's already very rare to survive, where can you expect a place. After all, the main force of the White Rose has suffered a lot of losses, and Charlotte, as a newcomer, has never participated in the Flying Badminton Cup before. Compared to other veterans in the arena, it is not the same.
The White Rose team, amid everyone's various boos, stood in front of the viewing platform.
Charlotte stood beside Paul, who whispered disdainfully:
"Mr. Charlotte, to be honest, when I first met you in Yerba Chowena, I never expected that we would face off like today, but ...... It's all coming to an end......"
Charlotte smiled slightly:
"It's time for this to end."
This time, the words of both sides revealed undisguised killing intent.
And this emotion also began to spread between the team members behind the two, and they each stared at each other with blood-red eyes.
It's time to settle the bond that has been formed between the two sides over the years!
The host then began to introduce some rules and etiquette of flying badminton games.
Each team can send 12 players per game to compete in a field the size of a football field, with an unlimited number of substitutes.
The flying shuttlecock has its own steam flying device, which is extremely sensitive to changes in wind direction. Each player holds a stick in the shape of a banana fan and drives the ball to the opponent's goal to win.
The host then introduced that the champion of this competition, in addition to the championship commemorative ball, also has a bonus of up to 12 gold coins provided by the Sophia Flying Badminton Council, and the participants of the flying badminton are exactly 12 people, and each person can get a gold coin.
Finally, the host announced the opening of the competition with excitement.
After announcing the opening of the competition, even the scene suppressed by Baron Frank could feel the undercurrent of excitement floating in the crowd.
Baron Frank beckoned the waiter to his side and whispered:
"Are all the White Roses here today?"
"Our eyeliner has been counted, and the personnel of White Rose have all arrived and are watching the battle in the audience."
"Listen to my signals, ready to do anything, is the incriminating evidence ready for their convictions?"
"It's ready."
"Good, listen to me later."
……
In the audience, the White Rose players of the retreat group looked nervously at the field.
Fina and Ilya looked warily at the surrounding mounted police regiments.
"Miss Fina, be careful, there's one over there."
Ilya pointed to some remote corner.
Thanks to the shared vision, Elijah can discern more eyeliner, which also makes Fina impressed by this greedy cute girl.
Fina recalled Charlotte's previous plan, and when White Rose set off the game to the climax and attracted the attention of the audience, the retreating team began to retreat one after another and change their costumes.
Some of the girls looked worried: "But...... Our lineup this year is not as good as last year's, can we really set the tide of the battle to the climax? ”
"What we can do now is to believe in Mr. Charlotte, just do our own thing at a critical moment, and don't shake the morale of the army."
Fina's tone was serious, revealing unquestionable authority, and the girls fell silent.
After the opening of the competition, the first round of eliminations officially began.
Against Charlotte's White Roses, the Aleman Manor team from Frank City is due.
The owner of Aleman Manor, the gray-haired Mr. Willy Alemán, was looking expectantly into the field with a redstone cane.
Lately, he has not been in a good mood, and the business of the estate has become more and more unsustainable due to the expropriation of the Frank family.
And his baby daughter Audrey was almost abducted and eloped by a bastard ronin recently.
So he desperately hopes for a hearty victory to bring new luck to himself.
The players from both sides came to the center of the field and took their positions.
The White Rose's main striker is Charlotte, and on his side is Sanda.
The referee is about to kick off and possession requires the forwards of both sides to scramble.
"Mr. Charlotte, the style of the Aleman team is aggressive charge and weak in the rear. To be on the safe side, we can give up the kick-off and concentrate all our players on the flanks and wait for an opportunity to counter-attack......"
Before he could finish speaking, the referee had already thrown the flying shuttlecock into the air.
Buzz Buzz –
When the flying shuttlecock is tossed to its highest point, it spreads its mechanical wings and emits a piercing scream like a living hummingbird.
Whew——
High-pressure steam is constantly ejected from both sides of the ball, and the flying feather ball is completely activated and begins to spin and fly actively.
In the irrepressible excitement of the audience, this year's Flying Badminton Champions Cup officially started!
And Charlotte, the moment the ball was activated, rushed forward.
