Chapter 342: The Decisive Battle (5)
Recently drawn,The most recent update doesn't come with the format first!!
Waltz stood under the ring, eyes wide and fists clenched nervously, watching the fight in the ring.
At this time, the game has completely exceeded Waltz's expectations, and indeed, although he thinks that Lawson is not Rode's opponent, it should not be a problem to deal with the group of rubbish under his hands with the strength of Lawson. Especially after seeing that Marlene and Qilian didn't play, Waltz was even more confident, and finally decided to use the challenge of life and death to kill each other. But unexpectedly, the truth was completely unexpected by him. So far, not only has Lawson not killed anyone, but he doesn't even have that kind of strong feeling in his body, and the invincible powerhouse Lawson seems to have completely disappeared, and now Lawson doesn't seem to be so invincible.
What's going on here?
Waltz was puzzled, these few wastes who came on the field were only on the verge of advancement, and they didn't have enough strength to resist Lawson, but they were able to contain Lawson's movements, and even escaped to death under Lawson's men? What exactly is this for? What could happen for Lang?
And at this time, Waltz suddenly saw a trace of tiredness flashing on Lawson's face, and the old man's face even looked a little desolate at the moment, and seeing this scene in front of him, Waltz's heart immediately sank to the bottom of the waterβββ he finally understood what Rod was thinking.
There is only one class difference between the master of swordsmanship and the realm of legends, but the leap of this class is a vast barrier, and at the same time it is the difference between mortals and non-humans. It is true that Lawson is very strong, and he is also very burly and powerful, but he who has not broken through this boundary still belongs to the realm of mortals, so it is inevitable that Lawson will have to face a problem that all mortals have to face.
Age.
Now Rosen is sixty-eight years old, and although he still looks so powerful on the surface, the "furious Lawson" never seems to have fallen. But in fact, time has begun to slowly erode his body. And now Rod's approach is to bully Lawson's age, he sees the defect of Lawson's explosive power but lack of persistence, and orders his subordinates to make such shameless delays and wheel tactics. It is true that Lawson is strong and experienced in combatβββ but time, all things are equal in front of time, and no one can be an exception. The aging body can no longer do what it does when it was younger, and there is no way to last long. Many swordsmen have failed to advance for this reason, and although their hearts are still young and full of desire and affection, their bodies can no longer cooperate with them as closely as before.
Merely............... Waltz still doesn't understand, for what of Rhodes' subordinates can do this? In the previous competition, they also let Lawson face the enemy alone, and there are many elite masters and sword masters, and even in terms of strength and experience, they are much stronger than these wastes. But after round of games, Lawson has never been out of shape like this, has he? His vast adventurous experience would always allow him to level his opponent before he could fall for himself, but this time, why did Lawson fall for that guy's machinations?
Not only the waltz, but also many people on the stage were also puzzled, in their opinion, even if Rhodes used such a shameless wheel tactic, the impact on a top swordsman should be very limited. But now Lawson is obviously showing a little bit of decline, although even so, he is still more powerful than the rookie thief who is scurrying around in the ring at the moment, but this decline has never been shown by Waltz before. β¦,
So, what's the problem?
"Lijie's appearance is the reason for the current situation."
Lydia lay back on the couch, watching the battle below, chuckling as she spoke. As the archangel, Lydia certainly saw through Rod's tricks.
Indeed, according to the general situation, even if Rhodes sent people to delay time and consume Rosen's strength with shameless wheel battles, with a top swordsman like Rosen, he would not follow Rodes' ideas so easily. But in the battle with Lijie, Lawson was careless. Although Lijie's "pig teammate" tactics were not able to hurt Lawson, they perfectly disrupted Lawson's combat rhythm, and the human body was like a precision machine, if it worked smoothly at the beginning, then it would become smoother and smoother in the future. But on the other hand, if you can't get into the state at the beginning, then all sorts of small problems will arise when facing high-intensity jΔ« fights. Not to mention that Lawson's body has entered its twilight years, so it will naturally be more obvious.
"I really don't know what to say.........
Amund sighed and shook his head, he himself is not young, of course, after breaking through the realm of mortals and stepping into the legend, he will not have a problem like Lawson. But looking at Lawson in front of him, Armond still couldn't help but feel a kind of sentimentality of "the same person who has fallen from the end of the worldβββ after all, he is not young.
"I have to say, this kid is really scheming, and he is very confident in himself......... But Your Highness ............"
Speaking of this, Armond was silent for a moment, listening intently, and at this moment there were boos everywhere in the arena, and people angrily denounced Rhodes for being despicable and shameless, and the angry curses were continuous. It's no wonder that there is such a reaction, if Rhodes and the others are just ordinary mercenaries, then they have no choice to make this choice. But now, Rod has enough strength to rival Lawson, but he chose such a despicable and shameless way, which made the onlookers really look down on it. Needless to say, those who had been self-defeating supporters, and even many neutral spectators joined in the rebuke of Rhodes at the moment. In their opinion, Rod is so young, so strong, and he can't beat Lawson, so why is it not like a man who is facing each other head-on? Rather, it was to use this despicable means to consume the old man's physical strength, did he want to defeat Lawson in this way? But where is the glory of such a victory?
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ What do you think? β
"Huhuhu, I don't think it's such a despicable thing, teacher."
Saying this, Lydia reached out and gently stroked the edge of the window, her eyes looked at Rhodes standing by the ring, even if she was scolded and scolded by the entire arena, the indifferent expression on the young man's face did not change in the slightest, as if he had not heard anything.
"No matter what obstacles lie aheadβββ attitude of not caring about everything and only seeking victory is very beautiful and dazzling, isn't it? Mortals are always troubled by fame and wealth and status, and in a way, is it not a detached view to be able to take advantage of their own prestige and actually take the means that can lead to victory? The reason why people are human is to do what they like to do, and they don't have to care about the evaluation of othersβββ I like him very much? β
Hearing Lydia's answer, Armond shrugged his shoulders helplessly and showed a wry smile. Then he turned his head and looked at Rod. I have to admit that Lydia's evaluation does have quite a lot of truth, and even to a certain extent, Armond feels that Rhodes and Lydia should be regarded as a kind of person. They also only focus on their own goals and methods, and do not care about what others think, as if whatever others say has nothing to do with themselves. In this regard, Lydia is also not willing to be left behind. The amount of money spent on her "interests" every year is also astronomical, and this highness has never been as low-key as those nobles, on the contrary, every time she has extravagant enjoyment, she has made no secret of everyone's luxury. Many of the courtiers had persuaded Lydia to simply enjoy it, and there was no need to put such a thing on the table. But Lydia has always been unimpressed by this, according to her, she is βββ the master of this country, everything here belongs to her, she works hard for it, pays for it, gains for it, and enjoys it for it. These are all things that are taken for granted, and I have never seen the master sneak around like a thief in his own courtyard. β¦,
It is precisely because of this, although the surroundings are full of claims that this highness is a faint king, a tyrant, a poor and extravagant, and extravagant. But Lydia never seemed to hear it, and she still went her own way, whether she should have a big feast or a big feast, and what she should enjoy was still the same. And as the years passed, Lydia was unmoved by these claims, and the country did not have any problems with her luxury. These rumors and accusations have gradually subsided. Now, even if anyone had any more objections to Lydia's approach, they had nothing else to do but sigh helplessly.
But......... After all, Lydia is the archangel and is not noble. So, what about this young man? How could he possibly maintain such concentration?
Rod certainly didn't take the boos and scolding lightly.
You must know that Lu Dao is in the game, when he led the starlight to the most prosperous days, the posts scolding him in the game forum for various reasons were almost overwhelming, and even in the game, there were many people who spent a lot of money to abuse and belittle him in the public channel.
The tree is very popular, and the hatred that Rhodes attracts has never been less, and he has long been used to such days. And in reality, the boos of these viewers are really not powerful, and they are far less vicious than those on the Internet. Therefore, instead of these boring boos, Rhodes is more concerned about Joey's battle right now.
Lawson's movements slowed.
Originally, the body that had not been adjusted in the battle with Lijie, and then ate Lando's magic arrows, at this moment, Lawson's body was already showing a little fatigue.
But it would be a mistake to think that Joey would be able to win.
"Wow!!"
With a semi-exaggerated scream, Joey flew upside down and fell heavily into the ring. But he soon got up in embarrassment and jumped to the side. At the same moment, the Adamantite Heavy Shield roared and smashed into the spot where Joey had just stood, smashing a large gap in the otherwise smooth floor. Joey, on the other hand, felt the pain of the rubble, and at the same time, his screaming figure flashed and disappeared into the ring again.
"It seems a little reluctant."
Looking at Joey in the ring, Rod frowned, and standing beside him, Seven Love wagged his tail.
"Master, you are right, but reality always changes a little bit......... But that should be expected. β
"Let's see."
After Rod said this, he didn't say anything more.
And at this moment, Annie, who was originally standing behind Rod and was shouting and cheering for Joey, suddenly glanced at Rode, and then quietly turned around and walked to the entrance of the passage. There, Lizzie and Labis were taking care of the sleeping Lando, and the shield before Lawson was so powerful that Lando couldn't resist it. If it weren't for the fact that the "Dimensional Protection Cloak" that Rhodes gave him before was brought to life, then the current Lando would have been pierced through his entire body by Lawson's shield, and he wouldn't have to think about whether he would live or not.
"How's Lando doing?"
Anne whispered a question, and at the sound of her voice, Labis looked up at Anne.
"It's okay... Lady Anne...... The fatal wound has healed, but the internal injury is very serious, although it has been treated by Sister Lijie's spiritual art, but it still needs to go through a period of recuperation. β
"That's ..............."
Anne nodded at Labis's answer, and then, with her big eyes, rolled around, and then leaned into Labis's ear and whispered a question. β¦,
"By the way, Labis, I remember if you had a very powerful potion before?"
"Huh? Hmmm........."
Hearing Anne's inquiry, Labis raised her head to look at Anne with some confusion, and then nodded obediently.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ Any questions? β
"Hey......... Is it OK to give Anne a bottle? β
"Mistress Annie?"
Hearing this, Labis couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"What do you want to do, that medicine can't be drunk indiscriminately, did the head of the regiment warn it before? And I've studied that medicine too, and if you drink too much, it can have very strong side effects. β
"Don't worry about Annie, Labis, will you give it to Annie? Just one bottle......... Judging from what the regiment commander just said, this old man seems to be very troublesome. Anne was afraid that this alone would not be able to defeat himβββ so she gave Anne a bottle, just a bottle. And Anne will definitely keep it a secret from the head of the regiment, huh? Don't worry, Labis, as long as we don't say it, no one will know! Don't you want to see me take revenge on Lando? β
"But............ That medicine is really violent..............."
Hearing Annie's words, Labis hesitated a little, but even so, as an alchemist, Labis's "professional morality" is still very rigorous. Alchemy potions can't be drunk indiscriminately, let alone the kind that Anne needs at this moment...... It was strictly restricted by Rhodes before.
But looking into Anne's eyes, Labis hesitated, she could see that Anne was really serious.
"Labis, this is Anne's request. You also know how the head of the Dao Dao is going to fight this time. If Anne doesn't beat that pesky old man down, then the head of the regiment will have to face the old man next. What if this old man jumps over the wall in a hurry and wants to hurt the regiment leader? He wouldn't be wary if Anne went up, so take this opportunity to let Anne kill him like this completely, then it couldn't be more perfect! β
As she spoke, Anne reached out and slammed her fist into the ground.
"Moreover, defeating that old man was originally a task assigned to Anne by the regiment commander, and Anne will never allow herself to fail!"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing Anne's words, Labis hesitated for a moment, and finally, she reached out, opened her purse, and took out a small bottle of dark red potion from it.
"Do you really want to? Lady Annie? β
"Don't worry, Labis, Anne will make it!"
With a smug smile, Anne reached out and took the potion from Labis's hand.
