Chapter 273: Warm-up Match (13)
【Recruitment】Set sail for a new round of recruitment!!!!
"It's still too tender."
Looking at Joey, who was besieged, Rod shook his head.
He saw very clearly that this time Joey's miss, not because his skills were not good enough, but because he lacked this kind of high-end combat experience. No matter what, he is also the leader of a mercenary group, and he eats more salt than Joey walks, after so many years of intrigues, isn't the mercenary leader who can survive an idle person? Joey really thought that if he had the upper hand in technique, he would be able to win steadily?
However, Rhodes was not disappointed by this, in the warm-up match, it was not the point to let those mercenary groups see their strength, but to see the problems shown by their side in the warm-up match. Marlene and Lijie performed perfectly before, which is related to their psychological quality and rich experience in adventure, but now that Joey, a rookie, is on the field, the problem of inexperience is immediately exposed. But for Rod, this is what he is happy to see——— otherwise if he really finds out about this problem at the Midsummer Festival, then it will really be a big threat at that time.
And now, Joey has fallen into the most troublesome situation for a thief——— he is surrounded.
The thief's lurking is not invincible, he needs space, and he also needs time, although it was said before that the top thieves can freely erase their sense of existence, but now Joey is obviously not up to this level, he needs to rely on equipment and time, and space to be able to do ——— part.
But now, with all his dependencies gone, surrounded by four people, and no room to maneuver, how will Joey respond?
That's what Rhodes wants to see.
In fact, while sensing that his attack was resisted, Joey's face also changed drastically, he was not stupid, but in the blink of an eye, he realized that he had made a wrong choice——— and worse, now he has no way to make up for this mistake.
Thinking of this, Joey reined in his thoughts, and a pair of daggers in his hand immediately wielded the tiger, and forcefully clamped the long sword stabbed by Xue Bote, overpowering it to the side, and then the young thief's whole body slid like this, dodging the attack of another mercenary, and then he tried to pull back, but at this time, Joey found that it was too late.
Different from the previous two elite squads, this team is a team formed by Xue Bot himself, and the elites of other mercenary groups who have a good relationship with him are selected, as well as two subordinates of his own mercenary group, plus Xue Bot is the only mercenary leader who ends up by himself, so everyone also follows his orders. Joey's thoughts, fooling ordinary mercenaries is not a problem, in the eyes of these experienced mercenary captains, it is really not a big threat, Xue Bote's previous attack was not intended to cause any harm to Joey, he was to contain the young thieves to ensure that the encirclement is completed.
And now that the mission is complete, Shebot has finally retired.
At this moment, Joey reacted, but it was too late to get out.
Unlike the previous team, this time there were four swordsmen and one thief in the team. Before, Joey defeated one in the sneak attack, and there were still three swordsmen and one thief left, and the four of them just formed an encirclement and surrounded Joey in it, at this time, he would definitely not be able to escape.
Sure enough, just as Joey dodged the second sword, he quickly noticed the faint sound of wind coming from behind his head, and as a thief, he naturally knew exactly where this was coming from. So Joey immediately shrank his head without hesitation, and the short knife behind him flew past his scalp like this, and it didn't cause any damage to Joey except for bringing up some hair. …,
But this was not good news for Joey, because at this moment, one of the mercenaries on his side suddenly kicked out and kicked Joey hard in the calf. Dodging three attacks in a row is already quite difficult for Joey, a thief, not to mention that his opponents are all experienced elites of various mercenary groups, and his skills in seizing opportunities are not much worse than this rookie.
Joey, who was hit hard by this blow, finally couldn't stabilize his body anymore, his body was crooked, and he fell to the ground, and at this moment, the other three people also immediately stepped forward, trying to fall into the well, and completely solve this nasty and thorny trouble. For a while, the four of them were crowded together, and the surrounding spectators couldn't see what was going on the field at all.
But Joey was clear.
The moment he fell to the ground, Joey saw a kick towards him, which made him startled, and immediately turned and rolled to dodge further attacks. But this was not the end of the four elites, and soon, one after another attacks pounced on Joey. And the young thief had no other way than to dodge in an embarrassed way at the moment. He could only curl up in vain, blocking further attacks, while waving the dagger in his hand, trying to add some range and space to himself.
It's just that this little trick Xue Bot naturally sees it clearly, even if four fights and one is not a heroic move, but now it is an indisputable fact that he has the upper hand, shamelessness is not just Fogg's patent, in fact, if the major mercenary captains have enough interests, then the face is ranked second. At least now your side has the upper hand, doesn't it?
For a while, the scene became even more chaotic, Joey rolled around on the ground like a loach to dodge attacks, he wanted to get up, but there was no room to stretch, the human body was to stretch out at the moment of jumping, which would inevitably drag them down and slow down, and in the face of the attack of the four people at the moment, just dodging had exhausted Joey, if he slowed down again, Joey could be sure that he would 100% only admit defeat.
"My lord, Joey, he won't have a problem."
At this moment, on the other side, Lando also began to open his mouth a little worriedly to ask. And beside him, Labis also temporarily forgot the tension of standing in front of everyone, she tightly pulled Lando's cloak, and watched the four people in the ring in horror. Even Annie, Lijie and Marlene were a little anxious at the moment, after all, the two people in front of them won too easily, which gave everyone the illusion that with their strength, it was not so difficult to defeat the elites of these mercenary groups...............
Of course, strength is one thing. But experience is another matter.
"It depends."
In the face of Lando's inquiry, Rod replied without looking back, in fact, Rod had already seen that although Shebbot's encirclement was complete and tight, it was not without weaknesses. The question is, will Joey be able to grasp this weakness? If he can catch it, then it means that Joey truly understands the true meaning of the profession of thief. But on the other hand, if he can't find this opportunity and can't seize it, then it's a different matter.
But in any case, Rhodes at this moment did not give any hint except for being silent.
It's not his fight.
"Drink!!"
Dodging the attack again, Joey was already a little tired, he had been rolling around on the ground for a while, and this kind of fighting made him feel tired. At first, Joey also hopes to escape through the gap between the four so that he can use the terrain to lurk again and make up for his mistakes. However, Xue Bot obviously did not intend to give Joey such a chance, Joey tried several times, and finally reluctantly found that if he insisted on rushing out, then he would eventually be stopped by the other party, and after losing his speed, the end of self-denial was predictable. …,
But now, what should he do?
There is no point in regretting the previous choice, and the only thing Joey can do now is look for opportunities............ Look for opportunities...............
Thinking of this, Joey was suddenly stunned.
Opportunity, is it really looking out?
Wrong! Opportunities are self-created! Blindly waiting, there is no result!
Thinking of this, Joey's eyes lit up, looking at the stormy attack in front of him, instead of being as helpless as before, on the contrary, the young thief suddenly seemed to have discovered something at this moment. He suddenly stepped forward, and at the same time stretched out his hands, and the dagger staggered and swung to block Xue Bote's long sword.
"Bell!!"
With the crisp sound of communication, Xue Bote's attack was stopped, and at this moment, Joey's figure also stagnated, and this opportunity was naturally not let go by the other three, and soon, they immediately took advantage of this opportunity to attack Joey again. And at this time, Joey finally had a move.
His arms sank, and suddenly, he unloaded Xue Bote's strength, which made the white-robed mercenary leader can't help but crook his body, and at the same time, Joey shrank his head and avoided another thief's sneak attack on him, but it also made him pay the price——— the remaining two people seized this opportunity, and the weapon in their hands hit Joey's body hard. Although the young thief struggled to dodge, the two flying bloods still left two shocking marks on his body.
Got it!!
Feeling the touch on the sword, the two mercenaries were overjoyed, but before they had time to taste the joy, the expressions on their faces immediately turned into horror———— because they found that Xue Bote, who had lost his center of gravity at this moment, and the thief who failed to sneak attack, actually slid towards them!!
For a moment, the two immediately hurriedly put away their swords and retreated, trying to distance themselves from each other. And Xue Bot didn't expect that after his sword was unloaded, a bright long sword would suddenly appear at his side, and he hurriedly pulled back, wanting to dodge this blow. For a moment, the whole team was in chaos, but at this time, Joey's eyes lit up.
It's now!!
His body flickered, and the whole person leaped out of the encirclement of the four like a ghost, and at the same time, the dagger in Joey's hand swung down again.
"Boom!!"
The thief who passed by him fell to the ground, and the unconscious thief naturally couldn't see the threat in front of him, and fell straight to the mercenary on the other side. Seeing the thief fall to him, the mercenary also jumped backwards in a panic to avoid the tragedy of cannibalism in this ring. And in this moment of confusion, he finally lost his attention as well, and soon, the mercenary only felt that his eyes were dark, and then he fell to the ground again.
"Calm down!! Hold your horses!! ”
Although Xue Bot also saw Joey's plan at this moment, before he finished his words, he saw Joey's figure flash and disappear in front of his eyes again.
There is no worse ending for Shebot...... )
