A 6 v6 football match with the Devils is the main task of this chapter. Gao Fei has no room for refusal. He can only use the formation of troops as an excuse to delay as much time as possible and think about how to break the Devils' shameless play style.
Goofy, Lisa, Umberto, Claire and Mario gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
We have a total of five people, plus the lion Simba, barely enough players to play.
After all, Simba is a lion and does not understand the rules of football at all. Fortunately, he received acrobatic training in the circus.
As far as the skill of "saving the ball" is concerned, Simba can score full marks. On the court, he is qualified and can only play the role of goalkeeper.
Next up are the two ladies on the team.
Lisa is a lady from a minor aristocratic family. After falling in love with Musk, under the guidance of her fiancé who was born in the slums, she watched several community-level football matches. She knew a little about the rules, but had zero on-field experience.
How to arrange her role on the court?
After much thought, Gao Fei could only put Lisa in the guard position and be responsible for defense.
How can Lisa, a pretty girl with no basketball skills, support the defense in the backcourt?
The answer is magic!
Judging from the previous preview game, the referee Ji Mo doesn't care about fouls on the court at all.
Since the Coward Demons relied on "Horror Technique" and "Stinky Cloud Technique" to win, why can't our side use magic in backcourt defense?
Lisa has blessed herself with "the strength of the bull", "the elegance of the cat" and "the tenacity of the bear". Her physical attributes have been upgraded to strength 18, agility 19, and constitution 18. Her physical fitness comprehensively crushes the timid demon.
After taking the field, Lisa will also activate the 3-ring magic "Spiritual Body Guard". Opponent players who are 15 feet away from her will be forced to slow down by half, which provides huge convenience for defense and stealing the ball!
The "Holy Light Angel" floating next to Lisa can also provide buffs such as "Threat Aura", "Anti-Evil Magic Circle" and "Assistance", which also have the effect of strengthening oneself and suppressing demons.
So Lisa doesn't need any football skills at all. As long as she runs more in the backcourt and gets closer to the demon, she can disrupt the opponent's offensive intentions and force her to pass the ball.
Claire's situation is similar to Lisa's.
She is a half-hearted female football fan who occasionally plays football for fun.
Speaking of ball skills, the most proud thing about the beast tamer girl is bumping the ball. She can keep bumping the ball, making the ball jump around in different positions such as the toes, shoulders, and top of the head, never landing.
To put it bluntly, this is a common juggling skill in the circus. On the pitch of fierce competition, this kind of fancy work may not be of much use.
The position assigned by Gao Fei to Claire's eldest sister is also a full-back.
After Claire came on the court, she first threw two "Thorns" on the court.
If the cowards try to break through from her side and break into the thorny area, they will immediately be entangled by thorny vines. Not only will their movement speed be halved, but they will also suffer 2d6 points of piercing damage for every step they take.
Claire can freely shuttle through the thorn bushes by virtue of "walking through the woods."
When necessary, Claire can also throw out the "Whip of Thorns" to drag the cowards trying to bypass the thorn bushes.
Umberto has some experience on the court and his footwork is considered excellent among amateurs.
"Archangel" has a huge advantage on the court. He runs extremely fast and has unparalleled breakthrough ability!
As a level 11 "Swift Swordsman", Umberto has mastered two professional abilities that improve mobility, "Wind Movement" and "Flash Dance".
…
Swift Wind Movement: Movement speed 5 feet/casting level.
Flash Dance: Constant "Flash Technique", constantly switching between flesh and blood and spirit forms, 50% evasion of any attack; in the spirit form, can pass through all material entities.
…
When Umberto activates the "Wind Movement", the walking speed increases to 85 feet. With the addition of "Dexterity Movement·Sprinting", the walking speed doubles to 190 feet.
When Umberto is running at full speed, his speed is 6 times that of ordinary people.
To put it simply, the average 100-meter speed of an adult man is about 15 seconds, but he only needs 2.5 seconds!
With wind-like speed, Umberto is like a sharp knife on the court, which can easily tear apart the opponent's defense.
Even if the Devils try to block Umberto through fouls, it will be difficult to achieve success.
Because the "Archangel" also has a constant "Flash Technique", there is at least a 50% probability of directly passing through the wall of defensive players, as if he were in no one's land!
Such a role is certainly suitable as a forward.
As a level 9 thief, Mario's speed and agility, although not as good as Umberto's, are still outstanding.
More importantly, Mario is the only real football player in the team. He has won the Pattus Street "Community Cup" MVP for consecutive years, and his skillful skills are not inferior to those of professional players.
Gao Fei asked him to partner with Umberto to form two breakthrough knives in the frontcourt.
As for Gao Fei himself, he only had experience in school-level competitions from middle school to university, and was only a supporting role at the backup level in the team.
The position he assigned himself was midfielder, responsible for overall planning and taking into account both offense and defense.
After arranging the formation, players from both sides take the field.
Goofy sits in midfield and wears three carefully selected magic masks - "Warlock Mask", "Druid Mask" and "Poet Mask".
By the way, he also summoned the demon pet Pearl and let the little guy fly outside the venue to carry out a secret mission.
The Eagle Demon blew his whistle to announce the start of the game.
The Demonic side took the lead in attacking with the ball, but Mario intercepted the ball cleanly before it passed the center line.
The timid demon who lost the ball was furious and chased Mario to fight for it.
Mario's skillful "cycling" made the little fat guy fall down on the lawn, chewing a mouth full of mud.
At this time, two more cowardly demons ran over from the side and fought for it.
Mario didn't wait for them to get close before passing the ball.
The ball crossed the court and landed at the feet of Umberto on the right.
Umberto broke through with the ball, easily tearing apart the Devils' defense and attracting all the backcourt players.
When they were approaching the corner kick area, Umberto passed the ball across to the left. The ball bounced twice on the grass and rolled to Mario's feet.
Mario went to the meeting alone, and with a series of dazzling fake moves, he easily shook off the coward guarding the goal, and fired a powerful volley into the empty goal!
The ball flew out with a roar, and just when it was about to score, it seemed to hit a wall of air, bounce back inexplicably, and fly to the backcourt.
This strange scene was beyond Mario's expectation, and he couldn't help but froze there, with a look of astonishment on his face.
At the same time, two cowards had already run past Mario and launched a counterattack with the ball!
