Chapter 489: Group Confrontation I.
The draw continued, with Chastain behind Dean and Andro, one of the weakest in everyone's opinion, and the other?
Naturally, it was because of luck that Stephen got through the preliminary round of guò.
And the end result, as Ojlo said before, has not changed in any way.
Group I: Markle, Haring, Zidko
Group II: Mancol, Dickey, Andro
Group III: Oylo, Chastain, Hilik
Group IV: Dean, Rand, Stephen.
Among them, the first person to draw the reshuffled number ball is the captain.
And during the draw of the next group confrontation, at the signal of the person in charge of the semi-finals, according to the order, Markle of Group I walked to the box and drew a number ball casually.
"Group III!"
Markle handed over the numbers to the head of the rematch, who announced it loudly.
And with this announcement, the first round of group competition began.
Group I. VS III.
II. GROUP VSIV. GROUP.
For this result, Markle, who represents the royal family of Gosai, is obviously extremely satisfied.
In fact, in his opinion, as long as it's not the group that Dean is in the first round, any group is okay.
Mancol, on the other hand, shrugged his shoulders and couldn't say what kind of expression he was, just glanced at Andro apologetically—as Mancol, he was also troubled by Dean.
Therefore, the necessary renunciation becomes a necessity.
Then, the twelve people were divided into two columns, under the prompting of the person in charge of the semi-finals. Out of the tent.
And as soon as I left the tent. There were earth-shattering cheers all around—
"Come on!"
"Come on, Lord Mancol!"
"Come on, Lord Markle!"
……
Amidst cheers. Interspersed with a name or two, it is clear that these are people who are well known to the people.
Even, some ladies threw the bouquets in their hands.
In this comparison, Oylo's Group III and Dean's Group IV are much more deserted, and basically people don't pay attention to these two groups at all.
Or more accurately, even if you see it. It's also turning a blind eye.
"Look, people are like that!"
Oylo, who was walking side by side with Dean, shrugged his shoulders, and his tone couldn't tell whether it was mockery or self-deprecation.
"So, sometimes, you need to tell them the truth!"
Dean replied with a smile.
"Big shot, you don't want to make a big fuss, do you?"
After hearing Dean's words, Oylo was stunned, and then, his expression became strange.
Seem. He saw Dean in front of countless people, beginning to show his murderous side. And then the appearance that shocked the entire Gao Sai King.
"I want to make a big fuss, and I need an opponent - Mancol will never give me a chance!"
Dean shrugged.
Ojlo glanced at Andro, who was in Mancol's ranks, and shrugged his shoulders in the same way.
Apparently, he had already guessed Andro's 'challenge' to Dean a moment later.
Although the group competition does not stipulate who fights with whom, it does not prevent some means, and the designation of opponents - challenges is undoubtedly one of the most open-minded.
As for whether the strength is equal?
When there is a group stage in which a team is formed, such a parity does not exist at all.
All of you can understand.
Especially Andro, who was informed in advance and in detail.
Andro, who was moving forward, subconsciously glanced back at Dean, and then quickly turned his head - just because of his weak heart.
He didn't want to do anything like that.
However, thinking of the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, as well as the order of his immediate superior, Andro couldn't help but grit his teeth and couldn't help but speed up a point.
The team moved on.
The ring where the three Ojlo were was on the left was the first to arrive.
"Big shot, I'm optimistic about you!"
Oylo, who stood still, waved at Dean.
Dean didn't answer, waved his hand, and walked towards the second ring.
Behind Dean, Rand the Venom Master and Stephen followed quietly, neither of them saying a word—the former had been unusually silent in the preliminary round.
As rumored.
The latter, on the other hand, is inconspicuous in the preliminary round, and on weekdays, it is completely in line with the principle of a person walking in the shadows. Sex.
So, when Dean stopped and stood on the side of the ring, the three of them didn't communicate at all.
On the other side of the ring, Mancol whispered something to Andro.
A moment later, Andro walked straight into the ring -
"Lord Zelgaon, I want to fight you!"
Andro shouted.
Then, the surrounding onlookers immediately gave this brave young man applause and cheers.
"Boy, come on!"
"Work hard!"
"We're optimistic about you!"
……
Such voices come and go.
If it were in normal times, Andro would be very happy, even dancing with his hands, but when he thought of the task he 'shouldered'.
Andro couldn't be happier.
As an 'outcast', pulling the opponent's 'main general' off the horse, such a strategy should be a good strategy no matter how you look at it.
However, the feeling of suffocation in his chest made Andro unable to agree with such a plan.
Without any previous expectations in his heart, Andro, who was standing in the ring, suddenly wanted to turn around and jump off the ring, so he ran back to the military port, returned to his ship, and continued to serve as the original patrol and escort mission.
But......
Looking up, Andro saw Prince Eddie on the management table.
The other party was smiling gracefully and clapping.
He...... There is no way back.
Step, step, step!
Clear footsteps rang out, and Dean walked slowly into the ring. Suddenly. There was a boo around - taking the stage in someone else's country. This kind of treatment is naturally deserved.
If it is in Jade, a Gao Sairen will also get a boo when he takes the stage like this.
Therefore, Dean did not care in the slightest.
didn't even sweep his eyes to the audience.
"Your Excellency Zelgaon...... Zelgaon"
Andro opened his mouth to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything - he wanted to explain that it wasn't what he meant. However, such a statement is clearly not illustrated here.
In the same way, Andro found himself speechless.
Because, the current qiē itself is the result of his own 'efforts'.
Although there are some deviations, the original intention is the same.
So, the next moment, Andro closed his mouth and slowly drew his long sword.
"Can we start?"
The person in charge of the semi-final on the side asked.
Andro nodded immediately.
"Yes!"
Dean looked at Andro opposite, again without the slightest indication of anything else. Also nodded.
Perhaps, the two sides can be regarded as acquaintances.
But. The positions of the two sides and their respective goals have long been decided, and the relationship between the two is just acquaintances, and it is impossible for them to become friends, let alone partners.
Dean knows very well that the entanglement in Andro's heart at this time is just because of the residual innocence of everyone when they were young.
When this trace of innocence also dissipates with the wind as he gets older and encounters more and more, it becomes a matter of course.
So, when Dean faced Andro's challenge, he calmly stepped into the ring.
"Let's go!"
The person in charge of the rematch shouted.
With this shout, the long sword in Andro's hand was a straight stab.
The strength is very large, the speed is also good, and it can be regarded as an impartial knight attack and killing swordsmanship, compared to the high competition swordsmanship that values strength, it obviously has its own characteristics.
Among any great knights, such a sword can be considered quite outstanding.
Therefore, the people around him, after seeing this sword, shouted loudly and cheered for Andro.
However, such cheers stopped abruptly the next moment!
Clang!
Dean stretched out his left hand, bent his index finger inside his thumb, and then flicked his finger.
In a loud metal clash of metal, Andro's sword flew into the air, and he himself retreated unsteadily until he fell out of the ring, supported by others, and did not fall to the ground.
Hiss!
The people who saw this scene gasped in disbelief, and each of them waited with wide eyes and stared at this scene blankly.
Andro, on the other hand, stood there with a dejected face, motionless.
Dean was still as usual, ignoring these at all, and looked at the person in charge of the rematch.
"Lord Zelgaon, win!"
For this result, which was in line with the original plan, the person in charge of the rematch did not hesitate at all, and immediately shouted loudly.
According to the rules, in addition to taking the initiative to admit defeat and losing combat effectiveness, falling out of the ring is also considered a loss.
Upon hearing the result, Dean turned and walked out of the ring.
"This is just the beginning!"
The 'Soul Torturer' patted Andro's shoulder and said with comfort, while his eyes looked at his friend 'Shining' Dickey beside him.
This prestigious silver-level powerhouse glanced at Andro and said as if talking to himself: "Although it may seem despicable to do this, at any time, you will encounter something that you have to do, and you don't need to think about it...... You just need to know that you will do your best! ”
As he spoke, Dickey 'The Shining' stepped into the ring.
He saw his opponent, and he couldn't help but laugh for a while, and then he chuckled-
Because, his opponent is: Lucky Stephen!
After yesterday's preliminary round, everyone couldn't help but sigh at his luck after learning about Stephen's 'deeds' in the semifinals.
Therefore, it is only natural that Stephen is called the 'lucky' Stephen.
"Stephen, it's not a preliminary, it's a rematch – we're not going to be careless and let it go...... It's better for you to take the initiative to admit defeat! ”
'The Shining,' said Dickey.
