Chapter 573: Disparity in Strength
"I just want you to be foolproof!" Jia Zhengjin frowned, "You must win the next two games, and you can't tolerate any mistakes! I don't want Perlin to be the general, and I don't want to put the responsibility of controlling the safety of the Holy Dragon City, or even the foreign war, on her shoulders." I just want her to be my wife and never get into any danger, you know?"
"Yes!" Worf, after all, was a completely loyal general, and immediately nodded in agreement, "I will definitely do my best!"
"Good!" Jia Zhengjin returned to his seat satisfied.
In the middle of the arena, Amber wields a bow and crossbow, and uses headless arrows smeared with the juice of red petals. Eden also uses the same bow and arrows, after all, their daily training of the Holy Dragon Guardian is to shoot crossbow arrows, and other weapons are rarely touched, and they belong to the ranged class.
Crossbow arrows are so powerful that a single accidental injury can be fatal if you don't use this special headless arrow.
Of course, the biggest reason is that Amber and Eden's own strength is too weak and they don't have enough self-protection ability, otherwise even if they fight with real swords like Wolf and Perrin, they can be retracted and released freely.
In fact, the challenge of the position of naval commander is, in Jia Zhengjin's view, meaningless and a waste of time!
He was well aware of Amber and Eden's strength, even though they were two of the strongest within the Dragon Guardians. But Gaunt's combat power is at the same level as Varion, and Amber and Eden are like schoolchildren in front of him, and they can easily solve it with one hand.
This game is actually to let the people of Holy Dragon City know Gaunt, lest everyone think that the commander of the navy is an airborne nobody.
Of course, for Jia Zhengjin, who has seen too many strong people, Varion and Gaunt, whose strength is around the fourth order, are actually very weak existences. It is also helpless to serve as a commander with their strength. After all, there is a shortage of talents at hand, if there is an eighth-order and ninth-order powerhouse, it will be replaced a long time ago!
Master Leo, who wants to win over him with all his might, has never agreed to take up an official position in his city. Liv is a ninth-order powerhouse, but she has to use her status as a saint to infiltrate the Church of Light and establish a good relationship with them. Nor can they hold official positions unless the Church of Light agrees.
Connie, Simon and other ninth-order dragons and demonic beasts all came as guests, and it was impossible for them to become their subordinates.
And the seventh-order and eighth-order demonic beasts that he was able to capture, although they had strong combat power, they did not have enough intelligence, and they could not transform into human forms to serve themselves. They can be used as weapons of battle, but they cannot be officials who deal with affairs.
Now it is the piece that Jia Zhengjin needs the most and is also the most headache.
As he pondered, Amber and Eden had already begun to fight.
Both generals were trained by the same team, and their fighting methods were similar and boring.
Anyway, it's all about firing the distance with a crossbow bolt to see who can successfully hit the opponent, leaving red petal juice on the opponent's body. The winner qualifies for the challenge and gets a chance to compete against Commander Gunter.
Both of them are cautious, so you shoot each other back and forth from a distance. When you run out of arrows, use your running position to dodge each other's attacks, and pick up arrows that fall to the ground to continue the fight.
Such a boring game, Jia Zhengjin is very boring to watch. However, the more than 30,000 people at the scene were extremely excited, just like the World Games, desperately cheering them on.
Also, there are too few entertainment programs in this other world. So even if it's such a boring game, they can watch it with relish, mainly for a sense of freshness and a lively mood!
Amid the cheers and cheers of the people of the Holy Dragon City, Eden, who was in high spirits, successfully captured several arrows after a trial and tug-of-war of mutual shooting, shot again and again with astonishing speed and accuracy, and finally successfully hit Amber who tried to pick up the arrows, and won the right to challenge Gaunt!
After Amber's defeat, he was quite depressed. He quickly withdrew from the ring and returned to his father, Harlem Sr., and his wife, Maggie, and sat dejectedly without speaking.
Jia Zhengjin knew that after this battle, Amber should be able to change his arrogant personality a little. I just hope that he can improve and train harder in the future.
"The winner of this challenge qualifying tournament is Eden!!" he entered the arena and raised Eden's hand in the air, "Congratulations to Eden for winning the right to challenge Commander Gunter! Next, Commander Gunter is invited to enter and officially start the first round of the challenge for the position of Commander of the Navy - the individual bravery competition!"
The onlookers cheered and shouted again, desperately cheering for Eden.
In the face of such a warm voice, Eden blushed with excitement and waved his hands desperately with confidence: "I will definitely win!!"
His declaration once again detonated the audience, and the cheers became even more enthusiastic.
Jia Zhengjin told Eden to prepare on the spot, then turned to watch Gaunt enter the ring.
He quickly walked up to Gaunt and said to him in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't make a move, save him a little face." Otherwise, I'm afraid that the blow will be too big and make Eden lose motivation in the future. Now that I'm short of talent, I don't want to crush his self-confidence and become a waste, you know?"
"Yes!" Gaunt nodded indifferently and strode to the middle of the arena.
Eden and Gaunt stood facing each other, their eyes facing each other.
Seeing that Gaunt was bare-handed and did not bring any weapons, Eden frowned slightly: "What about your weapons?"
"I'll be empty-handed!" Gaunt said indifferently.
"That's so unfair to you!" Eden was a little displeased.
"It's okay!" Gaunt didn't care, "As long as you can shoot me once, you'll win!"
"Lord Keane!" Eden turned to look at Jia Zhengjin.
"Since Gaunt said so, then so be it!" Jia Zhengjin said in his heart, don't be depressed, even if you use a real arrow, it is impossible to hurt him! The gap between the two of you is too big, there is no comparison at all!
"Good!" Eden felt that he was being slighted, and his heart was quite unhappy, "Don't regret it for a while!"
"Come on!" Gaunt replied indifferently.
"Are you all ready?" Jia Zhengjin asked immediately.
"Ready to go!" Oka nodded.
"I'm ready!" Eden quickly retreated with his crossbow in hand.
"That's good!" Jia Zhengjin immediately announced, "The first round of the Navy Commander Position Challenge is a personal courage competition. Navy Commander Gaunt vs. Eden the Challenger, start now!"
As soon as the words fell, he left the arena as fast as he could, returning to his position.
"Suddenly!" Eden attacked first without hesitation.
Gaunt was only slightly on one side, easily dodging Eden's crossbow arrows.
"Suddenly!!" Eden fired again, but there was no threat to Gaunt at all, and he easily avoided it every time.
In a few moments, Eden's back was full of arrows, and he ran around and jumped over to pick up the arrows on the ground.
As soon as I landed, I saw a huge pair of shoes in front of me. The next moment, he felt a heavy knock on his neck, and his eyes were black and fainted.
Gaunt turned around and made a gesture to Jia Zhengjin, meaning that I didn't make a move to him!
Jia Zhengjin was speechless for a moment, it was better to tease him like this, it was better to make a move to second him!
