Chapter 262: Warm-up Match (2)
One-on-five.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, they understood what Rhodes meant. That is, to beat the other team by themselves? Is this possible? Hearing this, not only newcomers like Lando and Joey were a little nervous, but even Marlene, who had always been full of confidence, couldn't help but look slightly gloomy, obviously considering how likely this is.
But in fact, the reason why Rod gave this condition was not without purpose.
Although on the surface, the elite of the major mercenary groups, this is a very powerful and domineering existence. But this is nothing more than the idea of the aborigines, in fact, in the eyes of Rhodes, the elite of these mercenary groups is not worth mentioning at all. Look at Kavos and Shanna, their own strength is not to the level of the best, aren't they also the leaders of the mercenary group? In fact, in the Parfield area, mercenary captains of the level of Shanna and Kavos are the majority, and it can be seen that the so-called elite strength of these mercenary groups is actually only at the level of third- or fourth-rate masters.
Of course, the elites of the Burning Blade and Darkfang may be a little tricky, but that's also for the ordinary mercenary groups. If you use the player theory that Rhodes is best at, then with their current level, those ordinary mercenary group members are only worth a dozen experience, while the elite is only a few dozen experience, and the mercenary group leader barely survives to the level of a hundred experience. Even the elite of a large mercenary group like the Burning Blade is only seventy or eighty experienced. But on the other hand, the mercenary guilds that participated in the Midsummer Festival, those elites had hundreds of hundreds of experience, and those guild leaders had thousands of experience.........
The gap between the two sides is clear at a glance.
For players of the same level, as long as they are not too stupid, there is no pressure to face two or three mercenary elite levels at the same time. If you come one by one, then it's not a problem to pick five. And now all Rhodes has to do is apply this standard to Marlene and others. In the game, Rhodes had participated in the Midsummer Festival, and naturally knew the elite strength of those mercenary guilds, so he made such a request, if Marlene and the others could do it here, then even if they participated in the Midsummer Festival, there would be no problem.
"I see, Mr. Rhodes, I will be able to do it."
Marlene was the first to respond, the girl stopped her body, the pride of the nobility was undoubtedly reflected in her body at this moment, no matter what, Marlene could not let her bow to those mercenaries, and the proud blood in her body would never allow such a thing to happen. Seeing Marlene speak first, Anne hurriedly followed.
"Don't worry, Captain, Anne is absolutely and absolutely fine!"
The girl replied as she clenched her little fist and swung it vigorously in the air.
"Me too............ Mr. Rhodes, I promise, will get the job done. ”
Although Lijie was still a little lacking in confidence, she still mustered up the courage to answer.
And seeing that the three girls have expressed their positions, Joey and Lando can naturally only bite the bullet. They are different from the three of them, they don't have enough adventure experience and vision, and as rookies, they don't have the same glorious body as Marlene and the adventure experience of Anne and Lijie, so they naturally beat the drums in their hearts after hearing Rod's request. But seeing that Marlene and the other girls have expressed their positions, can these two old men still refuse?
Of course not.
"Good."
Seeing that everyone had finished speaking, Rod nodded with satisfaction.
"So, I'm going to arrange the order in which you appear......... Marlene, you're the first to go. Lijie, you're number two. Joey and Lando's third and fourth, Annie, you're the most stubborn, get it? ”…,
According to his observations, Marlene is the fastest to adapt to this kind of big scene, and it is easy to show her strength. So we have to put her first and play a good leading role. And Lijie is second because considering the relationship between her and Marlene, as a pair of good friends, if Marlene can play well, then Lijie will be infected, and the probability of problems will also be reduced. As for Joey and Lando in the third and fourth, it is because at this time, they should have been used to the atmosphere of the game, plus the two girls in front of them performed well, then it is also a driving force for them. As for putting Anne at the bottom, it is to take into account the girl's lively and jumping character, with Anne's temperament, seeing this multi-game, she must be eager to rush up immediately to show her skills. So Rod deliberately put her at the back of the bottom, accumulated her emotions, and finally broke out and swept away the opponent.
However, these are only theoretical ideas, and what the actual situation will be depends on their on-site performance.
"Yes!"
"No problem."
"Understood."
Hearing Rod's arrangement, everyone didn't think much about it, but nodded in response. Then Rhodes didn't say anything more and signaled for them to get ready to play. But after the five turned to leave, Rod did not follow them into the passage, on the contrary, after making sure that the figures of the five disappeared, Rod turned his head and gestured to the door, and soon, old Walker walked in with a look of helplessness and doubt.
"What the hell are you doing, kid, so mysterious? He said he was looking for me for something, but he didn't say what it was......... I wanted to see what these little guys can do........."
"Don't worry, that's not a problem, old fellow."
In the face of old Walker's complaints, Rod didn't take it to heart, he just waved his hand, and then asked.
"Are all the people you want to prepare?"
"Ready, all of them are believers, and they are all tight-mouthed, everything is according to your orders, okay, now you should say what is the matter."
"Of course."
Hearing Old Walker's answer, Rod nodded in satisfaction, and then he walked up to Old Walker and lowered his voice.
"After a while, I want you to .................."
Rod's voice grew lower and lower, and there was no echo in the entire training room. But listening to Rod's words, Old Walker's brows became tighter and tighter, and when Rod finished speaking. The old ranger's face was already seven points of surprise, mixed with three points of weirdness.
"Boy, what are you trying to do here? That's ................"
"Since it's a trial, you have to make them able to accept all kinds of situations, don't worry, no one knows that you did it, if I don't say it. Go, old fellow, it's time for you to use your spare heat. And don't think it's just asking them for trouble............ This game is also a warm-up game for you. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, old Walker glanced at Rod with some confusion, not knowing what he meant. But seeing that Rod was silent, he obviously didn't intend to explain it to himself, so Old Walker didn't care about it for the time being, he scratched his head, and then turned away. After making sure that the old Walker was leaving, Rhodes withdrew his gaze and walked into the passage leading to the Colosseum.
The icy passage, filled with chills and some faint bloodstains, was once the hottest place in Deep Rock City, but no one had been here for a long time. Beast fighting was spread from the northern barbarian country, and it was once all the rage on the continent of the Dragon Soul of Light, but it was eventually banned because it was too bloody. The Colosseum, which was built at that time, was abandoned, and if it weren't for this competition, I'm afraid no one would have thought of this place. …,
However, this time the city lord of Krauser gave quite convenient support, and he not only nodded and approved the application of the mercenary association, but also sent someone to help clean and tidy up the already somewhat dilapidated building. It seems that the city lord is also interested in this. Not only that, but when the news broke, people from Deep Rock City and many surrounding places also heard the news and came to watch the competition.
Although it was just an ordinary tournament and far less lively than the Midsummer Festival, not everyone was so wealthy that they could go to the Golden City to participate in the Midsummer Festival. Most civilians do not have the time and financial resources. What's more, they were not very interested in the battles between the big mercenary guilds, and they were far less familiar with the mercenary groups on their own acres and thirds of land. So this time, I heard that the Mercenary Association organized such an event, and it was not far from me, and for a while, the entire Deep Rock City was very lively, and the Colosseum was also full. The old president and Krauser were a little stunned when they watched this scene, and even began to think about whether to do such a thing every year to drive the economy of Parfield and the fame of the Mercenary Guild and other far-sighted things.........
But that's all for later.
The closer you get to the Colosseum, the more you can feel the lively atmosphere outside, there has never been such a thing in the Pafield area, so the nature of the audience is also very high, before he walked out of the passage, Rhodes had already heard the deafening noise outside——— not to mention, in addition to the limited level of the place itself, the atmosphere alone is not far from the real midsummer festival.
Walking to the entrance of the passage, Rhodes had already seen the scene of the entire Colosseum clearly———— under the light of the fire, the stands were full of black and oppressive people, the noise was endless, and the chaos was so chaotic that they didn't even know what these people were talking about. I have to say that in the face of such a scene, except for people like Rhodes, who have played in the World World Game Tournament, everyone else is a little trembling. Marlene is fine, but Lijie and the others are already a little pale at the moment, I'm afraid they have never experienced such a scene in their lives.
"Yo, master, you're finally here."
And next to it, it was the Seven Loves who had been waiting there for a long time, and I saw the girl smiling and saying hello to Rod, grabbing the trembling Labis next to her with one hand——— if it wasn't for the collar grabbed by the Seven Loves, I'm afraid that poor Labis would have fled because of extreme nervousness and fear.
"All ready?"
Rod glanced at the others, he was doing well, at least not to the extent that Labis was so exaggerated, and he still looked like he could bear it.
However, how much can this endurance be exerted in the competition?
Thinking of this, Rod narrowed his eyes.
You must know that the opponents you have found for them are not only these mercenary group elites.
"Woo..................!"
At this moment, a low horn sounded, echoing in the underground cavern, and hearing this sound, the noise outside suddenly decreased a lot, and everyone puffed up their chests and stood up straight.
The test is finally coming...... )
