79. Turn the tide
When Lance turned back to the VIP stand, he happened to meet Ravenkes and Fiona who had returned from training.
"How is it?" Lance asked.
"It's been a bit of a fit." Victor replied boredly. He was originally forced to be arrested by Lance as a coach.
Lance raised his eyebrows, not satisfied with the answer, but he didn't go to find Victor, let alone say anything, and took his group back to the VIP seat.
At this time, the competition has actually begun.
"Lance, you're late." Steinway looked at Lance with pride.
"Well, something is wrong." Lance said perfunctorily and turned his attention to the field.
There is no reason for Steinway's pride. The team of Reims is at a disadvantage on the field. As the game started, the champion team that Steinway bet on launched a mad dog-like attack.
The attack originated from the two sharp-edge men of the champion team - the Delson brothers. They each carried weapons and surrounded them from both wings and launched a fierce attack on Sam and the others. According to the strength of a single body, the Delson brothers are just two C+-level mercenaries, which are at the same level as Sam and the others. However, on the battlefield, the power exerted by the brothers is not as simple as 1 plus 1.
I have to admire Steinway's vicious vision here. He knew very well that in this team match, the tacit understanding between his teammates will greatly affect the game. The two brothers are in the same mood, so there is no doubt about their cooperation, let alone the champion of this arena competition now standing behind them to support them.
In this 3V3 match, Ravenkes did not summon his Black Knight on the court. The consecutive battles in the championship game cost him a lot of physical strength and magic (uncle magic has a time limit, and he must provide magic for summoning objects continuously), so he temporarily used magic to suppress his opponents in the back row to assist his team. But even so, no one present dared to underestimate Ravenkes' strength. The magic blade he summoned cooperated with the attack of the two brothers, which made Sam and the others unable to raise their heads for a while.
"Is it necessary to play so fiercely as soon as you come on the court? Be careful not to be strong afterwards." Lance said after seeing it.
"If you can't even hold on to the beginning, what's the point?" Steinway didn't believe that the boy scouts created by Lance could defeat his championship team. "Lance, I see, why is the team you choose so soft that it's no longer possible?"
"If it is this level, it will not be difficult for those little guys." The person who answered was not Lance, but Victor beside him interrupted.
Objectively speaking, Victor is actually not a few years older than Sam, the youngest of the three, and Winster, the oldest, looks one or two years younger.
This made Steinway not very interested in this boy who came out of nowhere, but after looking at the horns on the boy's head, then looking at Lance who was not talking beside him. Steinway decided to sell Lance for face and not to be as knowledgeable as this boy. However, Victor's mouth belongs to a crow. As he said just now, the situation on the field has indeed changed.
"Cardichu, cover me!" After Sam shouted, he pulled out his double blades and rushed towards the shorter brother of the Delson brothers. It was not a big deal to be suppressed like this. As a warrior-type character in this team, he must take the initiative to attack.
Hearing his shout, the banshee mage Cardichu also reacted quickly. With one hand, she waved her wand and a row of shadow bombs flew towards Delson's brother Coog.
"A little trick!" Cooge was still disdainful of the dwarf rushing under his eyes. He did have two brushes. Ka easily dodged and avoided Cardichu's magic. Now he sharpened his knife and waited for Sam to come to his door: "Boy, let me teach you what the battle is for adults!"
Cooge stuck out his tongue and licked the bright long sword. He stared at Sam with a sinister look, and he pulled his hand into a knife. The angle of his knife was extremely tricky, and he rushed to Sam's key point. He didn't care whether he could directly open the opponent with one blow, but he waved the sword without bright red blood, nor did he hear the sound of the sword intersecting the blades, but directly cut through Sam's body.
How is this possible?
The Delson brothers are both mercenaries, so they are naturally knowledgeable. Cooge knew that his sword was useless, but the problem is, what about the little devil who rushed towards him without any hesitation just now?
"Above you!" The shout of Ravenkes came from behind.
Cooge shook his voice and almost subconsciously looked up at the sky, but when he had this consciousness, it was still a little late. Sam, who fell from the sky, locked the other party's neck cleanly with his legs, and then waved the blade and attacked Delson.
Blood was flying in an instant!
Samden was a little unbelievable. He just wanted to press the blade against his neck and force the other party to surrender, but he never expected that at that moment, Cooge used his left arm to block the blade's trajectory.
And the next second, the man who originally looked like a skeleton showed a grim smile on his lips without any pain.
"Hmph, what a little idiot. You had the chance to defeat me, but it was because of your innocence... Go and die!" When Sam was surprised, Cooge had already grabbed Sam with his bloody left arm, smashed him to the ground, and then he gave a knife to Sam's heart without any hesitation.
“Don’t——!!”
A tingling sound burst out, causing Kug's proud expression to stumble.
This is a sound that only when the blades are close together.
Sam's reaction was so fast that it was beyond his expectations. When he swung the knife, Sam also gritted his teeth and resisted at the most critical moment. However, although he could barely hold up the opponent's fatal attack, Coog's long sword still made a blood-red hole on Sam's waist.
Sam's situation is very bad now. He was suppressed by Coog and had no room to move. The opponent seemed to be just a trouble for another knife.
Cooge showed a sneer on his face. He didn't even say anything, but held the blade high and pierced Sam's chest without any mercy!
If this blow is solid, it goes without saying that Sam's life will definitely be out of control, but at this moment, the wire fluttering in his pupils attracted Coog's attention.
These silk threads naturally cannot be something that originally existed there. Cooge knew this, and it had a scientific name called the thorned silk, and its appearance often only implies one meaning.
Is anyone behind him?
But I also said before that the Delson brothers are old and do not forget to be alert even when attacking, but he did not notice the other party's aura from beginning to end. How did he approach...
Assassin, a profession name popped up in Cooge's mind.
Damn it!
But it was too late for Coog to turn around or close the knife. The silk threads that were fluttering around him tightened in an instant, like a cocoon, tightly binding Kug's whole body. The most terrifying thing about this thing is that it is extremely tough, and the more it struggles, the tighter it tighter it is. Seeing that Kug, who was still energetic in the previous second, was completely impressed at this moment.
"You should die, you are talking too much nonsense."
There was not much ups and downs in the voice, and a dagger appeared behind Coog, pressing against his throat.
The person coming was Winster.
"Wait, Winster, don't kill him!" Seeing his teammates waking up with murderous intentions, Sam struggled to sit up from the ground with his lower abdomen and shouted anxiously.
"Hmph, naive." This time, Sam's naive man was naturally not the Delson brothers whose life was in the hands of others, but the cold-looking assassin in front of him. The dagger that scratched the other party's throat did not stop. In fact, the one who really saved Cooge in the hands of the assassin relied on Ravencès' magic - the bone blade of the vampire youth forced Winster to choose the latter while trying to get hurt and want to kill Cooge and escape without losing his body.
Winster's mind was always calm. Now that Cooge has lost his combat power, he doesn't have to hurt himself for such an opportunity that is within his reach.
Seeing that Winster was forced back, Sam stole it and knocked Coog out of nowhere with the hilt of his weapon.
He looked at Winster, who, after only glanced at the unconscious Coog, rushed towards Raven Keith, who was constantly pressuring himself with magic.
At this time, in the corner that everyone had forgotten, another battle that everyone had not had time to pay attention to end quietly.
The younger brother of the Delson brother, Cus, was not in a hurry to rescue when his eldest brother was surrounded, but touched the unguarded mage alone. He had absolute confidence in Coog. Is this just a combination of some little ghosts? How could he stump the famous Delson brothers?
As for the mage in front of you, it is disgusting to put magic there without restrictions on the range. Kus himself thought it was a sure thing to deal with her, so he simply went alone. After all, in my impression, the mage was not good at close combat because of his mental power, so Kus had a lot of confidence to quickly resolve the battle before the opponent's companions returned to the rescue.
While everyone's eyes were focused on Sam and Coog, he approached quietly and suddenly exerted force. Everything was arranged so cleverly, but just as Kus held up a copper hammer and hit the banshee mage wrapped in his robe, Cardichu's chin hidden under the hood raised, and made a high-frequency roar that was absolutely impossible for humans to be emitted.
Note that screaming and screaming are different.
The former is an emotional reaction caused by fear, while the latter simply makes the opponent feel creepy. The whistle is not long and even people who are far away cannot hear it. However, the weapon that Kus raised over the top of the head lowered down, and his eyes are dissipated, like a walking corpse-by-by, those corpses resurrected by the undead spell are like he is now.
Of course, the Banshee Cardichu doesn't have any undead magic, so it requires the use of dead bodies. However, the Banshee usually has one or two unique skills, and Cardichu's specialties are precisely the mental control aspect. In other words, the person who really attacks while he is unprepared is not Kus, but the female mage who pretends to be isolated and lures the enemy into the depths.
Victor said it right, the situation that had just been one-sided was reversed in a flash.
