Chapter 171 Play
"Go on armor!"
Fortress Heavy Armor is a unique armor type of Jian Gu tribe, and its protection ability is definitely the first among all armors. It exchanges huge physical consumption and mobility costs for its resistance to various battlefield weapons, and once made great contributions to the Jian Gu tribe's current territory.
Many Jian Gu clan fortress warriors use this armor to stand in front of the battlefield and constantly push the enemy's formula back; how many times has it achieved the majestic fighting posture of Jian Gu clan warriors as a man who can't pass by, and how many times have the enemy despair? In the underground tunnel environment, there is not much room to display, and the strongest combat power must be concentrated, and the fortress heavy armor is the best choice in this situation.
However, the emergence of the Infinite Maze changed all this. Although the Infinite Maze made the famous craftsmen and rune masters of the Jian Gu tribe, the combat form also changed from expanding territory to a stronghold for the gathering of elemental energy, which often requires long-distance raids or secret operations. At this time, the fortress heavy armor was too influential to the tactics. Gradually, in addition to the last line of defense in Gai Demon City, the only remaining fortress heavy armor warriors were retained, and other places had already begun to gradually eliminate this type of war.
The territory of Jiangu tribe is now stable, and no longer needs to use fortress heavy armor warriors to open the way, so the idle fortress heavy armor has become souvenirs or gifts, with more ornamentality than practicality. Fortunately, these fortress heavy armors in the elite academy have been on the battlefield, and in addition to the memorial significance, they have no lack of practical combat capabilities. After the emergency repairs of students equipped Jiangu tribe craftsmen, these fortress heavy armors can finally be carried by young people of Jiangu tribe again, showing their style in the competition, perhaps this will make them happy.
The students of the No. 15 pit group helped each other wear armor, and Dagon checked their status one by one. During the training, they actually put on armor to adapt, and they had sweated heavily, and were injured and bleeding a lot. But at this moment, everyone felt the heavy sense of security on their bodies and their self-confidence flourished in the heavy armor, so the pain they suffered before was not in vain.
"Wear the cloak and cover the heavy armor. Don't wear the armor first, pay attention to using the draw to rest and restore the state. Remember to respond to changes with the same change." Dagon said: "While the elf hasn't reacted yet, and when the physical strength is good, get a few draws against the elf first, and the situation will be greatly improved. Go, I've calculated it!"
In addition to martial arts and eccentricity, what else can Dagon admire everyone is his calculation ability. When explaining martial arts, Dagon can often combine arithmetic to tell everyone why a certain method is reasonable and why some simple and conditioned reflex actions are wrong, which benefited a lot and became more convinced. When Dagon said that he had calculated it, it must have calculated it. Everyone increased their confidence and walked towards the examination room with majestic steps.
"It's so nostalgic to see so many fortress armor!" After the students left, Ma En arrived at Dagong. He looked at the dwarves who were walking towards the gate of the martial arts competition venue, and seemed a little excited, with some splashes in his eyes. "Yes, yes, this is what the Jiangu tribe looks like. It seems that I have not spent any effort to repair these old things."
"The Jiangu people should look like they win. Although it is a bit disgusting to say this, I am not very happy to have to come up with this kind of battle in order to pass the martial arts course. Maybe they have passed the exam, so I can be a little happier." Dagon had a calm face, held his hands in front of his chest and said, "I was wondering, how can we use the current methods to solve the difficulties. These old tricks will always be used up."
"I don't like to listen to this! We Jiangu people have so many good things. Just take it out and you can solve the problem." Mar En said: "Dagon, you are all good, but you can't help but worry about this and that, you're too tired. But you are very similar to your father."
"My father never did..."
"It's not Tormond, but Eig Neil. Remember, your father is the lord of Jian's ancient city, and you are his heir."
Dagon tugged at his beard, reached out and pointed forward, signaling to watch the exam and avoided the topic.
"You see here, I'll go inside." Marn patted Dagon's shoulder and said, "The original plan was to accompany you, but the annoying Coul arranged a new task for me. I'll go to the venue inside to repair weapons and protective gear."
"Then you can know their battle situation better than me."
Maren shook his head and said, "No. After I entered, I just stayed in the center of the field, guarding the weapons and armor maintenance tools. I can know the score, but it is just a little earlier than you. As for how to play, you should ask these children."
Dagon is just a freshman, and the class to be tested today has nothing to do with him, so he can only watch outside. After Ma En left, the instructors and other staff members in charge of the invigilance also entered the competition site one after another. At the entrance of the competition site, the elves erected a three-meter-square blackboard with the names of the candidates written on it, and marked the result of the battle between each other in the form of vertical and horizontal grids.
The exam has not officially started, so few people paid attention to it in front of the blackboard. Dagon leaned over and found the names of the members of the No. 15 pit group on the blackboard. He didn't want to see someone fail, nor did he want to see that there was a draw between the members. He was not as good as others to practice. If his spirits and character were gone, it would be difficult to practice again.
"Hey, Rui Liqi is also from their class? This is really an accident."
Dagon immediately recalled the hunt for Chimera in his mind. Rui Liqi first contempts Dagon and others, then fought with Hilo Ai, and urged three human knights to come and find fault. On the battlefield, she acted randomly, causing the magic circle to be damaged, the situation became precarious, and everyone's lives were threatened.
I thought she had been killed by Chimera, but I didn't expect that after everyone finally wiped out the monster, she actually came out again, and there was nothing to do. It would be fine if she was just like this, but she still retained almost complete combat ability. Rui Liqi has always held a powerful elf card in hand. As long as she used it, it would not only eliminate the disadvantages, but also very likely to save her companions who were in trouble at the time. But she didn't do that, and judging from her actions, she had enough time and ability to use the cards, so she just chose not to do this.
Even if the lives of the three human knights are not counted on her, and even if the deaths of the three reckless people of the Jiangu clan are not absolutely proof, it was her who did it. However, the death of her two elves companions is definitely directly related to her on-the-spot choice.
"This guy...is not easy to deal with."
In terms of martial arts alone, Rui Liqi's shooting skills are pretty good, but it depends on whom. When hunting Chimera, with the help of spells, Rui Liqi's shooting accuracy was barely tied with Tess. Because of her pride, Rui Liqi ignored Dagon's prompt. The arrows she hit did not break the defense at all, and her actual performance was far inferior to Tess.
She is not an excellent elf archer, but her bow is very good, and this must be admitted. Dagon found Rui Liqi in the crowd. Her giant bow was too conspicuous, and she stood tall like a pole, as if she was afraid that others would not know.
Shouldn't that kind of pulley bow be used in the woodland? Dagon scratched his head and expressed his confusion. He observed secretly and found that Rui Liqi was talking and laughing with some elves, and seemed to have not taken the Jiangu students on the side at all. On the one hand, the members of the No. 15 pit group put on cloaks outside the heavy armor and wrapped their bodies. This is a very reasonable dress in winter, which plays a role of confusion and cover; on the other hand, the elves always pass the competition, but it is difficult to become an excellent student. Rui Liqi is making a relationship with others, and is close to the goal, striving to make a victory off the court.
She did gather a lot of elves around her, about seven or eight students. Judging from her clothes, at least four or five of them were wearing armor instead of student uniforms. It seemed that they were going to take the exam today. Dagon did not know the students except the members of the No. 15 pit group, so he didn't know if these four or five were from the same class. If so, then...
That is actually a good thing - Dagon thought. The bigger the gap between the elves' grades, the more likely the Jiangu students who can form a group will pass. They are afraid that the elves will all share the same. Then these elves all work hard toward the Jiangu people who did not participate in the training camp, earning points from him, and then they can use a larger group to seize all the pass quotas.
It doesn't matter whether Rui Liqi is the top spot or not, and Dagon doesn't care. Given her performance on the battlefield, Dagon despises her psychologically and does not want to compare it with her in any way, thinking that it is a sign of lack of self-confidence. On the other hand, if Rui Liqi wants to be the top spot and the No. 15 pit group performs well, resulting in many elves fighting fiercely when they have to, the scene will be "good".
Because there are a lot of students and the single cycle takes many rounds, the invigilators are already urging everyone to go in. The students from the No. 15 pit group walked in tacitly, and they lowered their heads, just as low-key as in previous years. The elves were talking and laughing, and Rui Liqi waved to her "friends", with confidence in her eyebrows and eyes.
After the students entered, many people at the door dispersed. This is just a routine exam every year. For a race like the elves, which have lived a long lifespan, it may have been seen hundreds of times, and it has been no longer innovative. Now there are only ten people left in front of the door to watch the blackboard, including half-elves, humans, half-lings and dwarfs. Dagon is the only Jiangu tribe.
"Alas, where is united? Where is each other caring?" Dagon sighed and looked at the scoreboard with the others.
Ding! The bell that indicates that the beginning of the exam sounded deep in the martial arts competition venue, which means that everyone in the exam can start to take action. The first result of the game was that Rui Liqi defeated an unrecognized elf. It only took four minutes, and this also required the time spent to pass the results from the martial arts competition venue.
The one used to pass the score is an origami bird. It is only the size of a palm and has a flight speed of about the same as a pigeon, but it does not need to flap its wings. This piece of white paper will spread itself when it flies to the scorer in front of the blackboard and writes the scores and becomes a retained record. The half-elf staff in charge of scoring writes the winning and losing relationship with the scores on the blackboard, and each person's final score is counted on the right side of the table.
People in the venue can only know their scores, but not others. After each battle, the invigilator will issue gems according to the results. Count the number of gems of different colors and know how many points they are now.
After Rui Liqi's score, two origami birds appeared at the same time, bringing two draws. Dagon looked at them and they were all members of the No. 15 pit group, which was very good. Now, he can start praying for the Jiangu people who encountered the elves.
The score suddenly froze, and the next few points were all elves and elves, as well as the only Jiangu tribe who did not participate in the training troupe. "He won an elf? This is really good. It would be great if I knew how he won." Dagon stroked his beard and enjoyed the surprise.
Waiting, waiting, after about thirty minutes, there was finally a new result. The three members who did not meet each other won two wins and one draw! The others in front of the blackboard were a little surprised to see this result, but they didn't agree with it. Maybe they thought it was an occasional phenomenon. Dagon was very beautiful, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.
In the examination hall, Hanmodom, who quickly got one draw, met Rui Liqi, who quickly won one victory. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, but Dagon said that it was useless to be nervous, and it would be meaningful to think more about what to do. Dagon turned the response method on the battlefield into a simple formula, combining it with the action of thorns to let them remember it firmly.
"With such a heavy bow, this female elf is the most cruel." Hanmodom thought that she was forced to hide from her arrows in previous years, so she could only admit defeat. The angry voice in her heart blew up. "Don't be anxious, don't be angry, don't be irritated, leave these for the elf. We just need to pick up the shield."
Entering the examination room and lifting the cloak, Hanmodum removed a light shield from behind. Dagon's original plan was to carry a tower shield, but using the tower shield also required training, and time was not on their side. In addition, he had to carry a model spear, and the light shield became a more reasonable choice. Since the light shield can also be used as a weapon, it followed the principle of harmlessness and was wrapped in sponges and cloth, and in fact the protection ability was slightly improved.
Whoosh, an arrow shot, hit Hanmodom's cloak from the side, and then slid and bounced out directly. At this time, the elf invigilator who followed Hanmodom announced: "A hit, this arrow can cause crippling..."
"No! There is no bruise at all!" Hanmodom held the shield in one hand, untied the cloak with the other hand and threw it out, revealing the heavy armor of the fortress below. He shouted loudly: "How did it penetrate me? Can it also be disabled? So what if I asked her to use real arrows? At this time, the heavy armor of the fortress was taught about it in history class, and the mentors should know."
"Where did you find the fortress? Things outside the school cannot be used for exams."
"There are many such things in the warehouse of the student equipment office, which can be used by wiping. This is definitely not from outside the school." Hanmodom was speaking, and another arrow shot from a different direction, heading towards his back.
Perhaps it was because of the long training that did improve Hanmodom's alertness. He raised his shield to protect his face, squatted down and reduced the center of gravity and reduced the volume of the arrow. The arrow was bounced away again, and was even shattered by the recoil force in the air. At this time, there was nothing to hide. Hanmodom put on the anti-arrow armor and shouted: "Rulichi, how about we draw?"
"I think beautifully!" The voice came from the left, but the arrow shot from the right. Hanmodum and others had never understood how this strange phenomenon was caused, but they were unable to defend themselves before, but now it doesn't matter. Anyway, the shield and heavy armor.
Bang, there was an arrow on the shield. This scared Hanmodom, thinking that an arrow was installed in front of the arrow. After a closer look, it turned out that the top of the fatal arrow of right and wrong broke through the sponge wrapped in the shield, and then entangled it, hanging it on it instead of inserting it on it. Hanmodom had a sudden inspiration and showed this phenomenon to the invigilator to prove that even if he was shot, he would not be injured at all.
"Uh, cancel the judgment of the malfunction. Rui Liqi made an invalid hit." The elf invigilator already felt something was wrong. He had more experience than the students and knew what kind of weapons Rui Liqi brought: two packs of forty arrows, four daggers, a scimitar, and a small round shield. Can these things beat the heavy armor of the fortress?
Hasn't the fortress heavy armor been eliminated? Why did this kind of etiquette come out again? The elf instructor felt a headache, but the more headache was Rui Liqi. She shot seven or eight more arrows, and three of them were all sentenced to be invalid hits.
"Ruliqi, why don't we just draw?" A funny and weird little eyes stared at her, and the steady voice seemed to be full of ridicule.
Rui Liqi was angry. She came out from behind the hiding tree, and directly held the giant bow and shot while walking, saying, "I can't beat you to death!"
