Chapter 573 Disparity in Strength
"I just want you to be foolproof!" Jia Zhengjin frowned, "You must win the next two games, and no mistakes are allowed! I don't want Palin to be the general, and I don't want to control the safety of Sacred Dragon City, or even to the outside world. The great responsibility of the war rests on her shoulders. I just hope that she can be my wife honestly and never get involved in any danger, do you understand?"
"Yes!" Worf is a completely loyal general after all, and immediately nodded in agreement, "I will definitely do my best!"
"Very good!" Jia Zhengjin returned to his seat with satisfaction.
In the arena, Amber held a crossbow in his hand, using a headless arrow smeared with red petal juice. Iden also used the same crossbow and arrows. After all, the daily training of the Holy Dragon Guards was to shoot crossbows and arrows. They rarely touched other weapons and belonged to long-range arms.
The crossbow arrows are very powerful. If this special headless arrow is not used, a single accidental injury may be fatal.
Of course, the biggest reason is that Amber and Eden are too weak and don't have enough self-protection ability. Otherwise, even if they fight with Worf and Perrin, they can be retracted freely.
In fact, the challenge for the post of naval commander is meaningless and a waste of time in Jia Zhengjin's view!
He is well aware of the strength of Amber and Eden, although they are considered the two strongest in the Holy Dragon Guard. But Gaunt's fighting power is at the same level as Varian's. Amber and Eden are like elementary school students in front of him, and they can easily be dealt with with one hand.
This competition is actually to let the people of Sacred Dragon City get to know Gunter, so that everyone will not think that the commander of the navy is an airborne unknown person.
Of course, for Jia Zhengjin, who has seen too many strong people, Varian and Gaunt, whose strength is around the fourth level, are already very weak existences. It is helpless to serve as commander with their strength. After all, there is a shortage of talents at hand. If there is an eighth-level and ninth-level powerhouse, he would have replaced it long ago!
Master Leo, who tried his best to win him over, never agreed to hold an official position in his own city. Liv is a ninth-level powerhouse, but she wants to use her identity as a saint to infiltrate the Church of Light and establish a good relationship with them. Nor can he hold an official position, unless the Church of Light agrees.
Connie, Simon and other ninth-level giant dragons and monsters all came here as guests, let alone becoming their own subordinates.
And the seventh- and eighth-order monsters that I can capture, although they have strong combat power, don't have enough IQ, and they can't be transformed into human forms to serve me. They can be used as weapons in battle, but they cannot be officials in handling affairs.
talent! Now is what Jia Zhengjin needs most, and it is also the most troublesome one.
While he was thinking, Amber and Eden had already started fighting.
The two generals were trained by the same team, and their combat methods were similar, and very boring.
Anyway, it is to shoot at each other with crossbow arrows at a distance to see who can successfully hit the opponent, leaving red petal juice on the opponent's body. The winner will be eligible for the challenge and get the chance to compete with Commander Gaunt.
Both are very cautious, so you come and shoot each other from a distance. When the arrows are used up, use running positions to avoid each other's attacks, and pick up the arrows that fall on the ground to continue fighting.
Jia Zhengjin was very bored watching such a boring game. However, the more than 30,000 people at the scene were extremely excited, just like the World Games, cheering them on as hard as they could.
Also, there are too few entertainment programs in this different world. So even if it is this kind of boring game, they can still watch it with relish, the most important thing is for a sense of freshness and the mood of joining in the fun!
Amidst the cheers and cheers of the people in Sacred Dragon City one after another, the high-spirited Iden managed to capture several arrows after a series of probing and seeing-saw shots. He shot again and again with astonishing speed and accuracy, and finally succeeded. Hit Amber, who is trying to pick up the arrow, and get the right to challenge Gaunt!
After Amber's defeat, he was quite depressed. He quickly withdrew from the game, returned to his father Harlem Sr. and his wife Maggie, sat downcast and did not speak.
Jia Zhengjin knew that after this battle, Amber should be able to slightly change his arrogant character. I just hope he can improve and train harder in the future.
"The winner of this challenge qualification match is Eden!!" He entered the field and raised the hand of the winner Iden high, "Congratulations to Eden for winning the right to challenge Commander Gaunt! Next, please invite Gaunt The commander enters the arena, and the first round of the challenge for the position of the naval commander is officially launched—the individual bravery competition!"
The onlookers cheered and shouted again, desperately cheering for Eden.
Facing such enthusiastic voices, Eden blushed with excitement, and waved his hands with confidence: "I will definitely win!!"
His declaration once again detonated the audience, and the voice of cheering became more enthusiastic.
Jia Zhengjin asked Eden to prepare on the spot first, and then turned around to watch Gunter enter the field.
He quickly walked up to Gaunt, and said to him in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't decide the outcome with one move, save him a little face. Otherwise, I'm afraid the blow will be too big, and Eden will lose motivation in the future. Now I have a shortage of talents, but I don't want to destroy his self-confidence and become a useless person, do you understand?"
"Yes!" Gunter nodded indifferently, striding to the middle of the arena.
Eden and Gunter stood facing each other, their eyes met.
Seeing that Gunter was unarmed and not carrying any weapons, Eden frowned slightly: "Where are your weapons?"
"I'll do it empty-handed!" Gunter said indifferently.
"That would be too unfair to you!" Eden was a little displeased.
"It doesn't matter!" Gaunt didn't care, "As long as you can shoot me once, you win!"
"Lord Keen!" Eden turned to look at Jia Zhengjin.
"Since Gunter said so, let's do it!" Jia Zhengjin said don't be depressed, even if you use real arrows, it is impossible to hurt him! The gap between the two of you is too great to be compared at all!
"Okay!" Eden felt that he was underestimated, and he was quite upset, "Don't regret it for a while!"
"Come on!" Gunter responded indifferently.
"Are you all ready?" Jia Zhengjin asked immediately.
"Ready to start!" Gunter nodded.
"I'm ready!" Eden quickly retreated with his crossbow in hand.
"That's good!" Jia Zhengjin announced immediately, "The first round of the Naval Commander's Position Challenge is a personal bravery competition. Navy Commander Gunter will face the challenger Eden, and it will begin now!"
After the words fell, he left the arena as quickly as possible and returned to his position.
"Sudden!" Eden launched the first attack without hesitation.
Gaunt just turned slightly to one side, easily dodging Iden's crossbow arrows.
"Thug!!" Eden fired again and again, but there was no threat to Gunter at all, and he avoided it easily every time.
After a while, the arrows in the quiver behind Iden's back were all shot, so he ran and circled around, jumping over to pick up the arrows on the ground.
Just as soon as he landed, he saw a pair of huge shoes in front of him. The next moment, he felt that his neck was hit hard, and his eyes darkened and he passed out.
Gunter turned around and gestured to Jia Zhengjin, implying that I didn't beat him with one move!
Jia Zhengjin was speechless for a moment, teasing him like this would be better than hitting him in seconds! Recommend the new book of urban god Lao Shi: the all-round security guard of the school belle
