The competition goes on in full swing every day, and the boring auditions make the audience sleepy from aesthetic fatigue.
But today is different, because today we start the competition of sixteen to eight, tomorrow it will be eight to four and four to two, the day after tomorrow it will be the finals in the morning, and the team competition will start in the afternoon.
The individual competition ends in three days, and everyone is eager to know who will win the glory of the championship and the generous bonus.
It is worth mentioning that Ronan's extra mission of 2 has failed. In the battle a few days ago, when he was finishing the opponent with the last blow, he accidentally scratched his left arm armor by the opponent's final counterattack and lost it.
Ronan was furious at that moment, and the force of his attack suddenly became stronger. The guy was hit on the helmet with an angry sword by Ronan and passed out immediately. He probably suffered a slight concussion.
Since it couldn't be completed anyway, Ronan simply let himself go and used the point exchange to make the subsequent games easier.
The day before the game, after the match list comes out, Ronan can often hear other people's analysis, what is this person good at, what are his advantages and disadvantages compared to his opponents, what is his chance of winning, and the analysis
It's all right, and I don't know if it's someone sent by the bookmaker to deceive people into making a better deal.
The gambling bureau has also set odds for all the contestants in the 16-to-8 competition, and the odds have been opened. Many people have already placed their gold coins on the person they think is strong.
In addition to the official gambling games set up by Marquis Yuri, Ronan also discovered that there were many underground gambling games that were secretly opened by unknown people, and the odds were quite different from the official ones. However, in order to prevent being cheated, Ronan did not place any bets.
Aldridge's results are already showing. His opponent is the son of a Western Viscount named Wislow Luming, who also participated in Sirabi's army when he supported Terra.
Moreover, it is said that he also traveled to Holy Cross, worked as a mercenary for a period of time, and fought against rampant bandits in the northern plains of Holy Cross. He was considered a relatively famous young knight in the west.
Therefore, Aldridge, who had stumbled before and was considered by the public to be able to win solely by luck, would never be able to defeat this experienced knight who had experienced wars.
Aldridge's magnification ratio also reached an astonishing one to two. Ronan couldn't even restrain his excitement. He was laughing wildly!
Ronan put all his net worth, previous savings and more than 2,000 gold coins he had recently won on Aldridge.
Moreover, Ronan also borrowed a thousand gold coins from a businessman who loaned money. At a huge interest rate of up to 10%, Ronan didn't even blink an eye, because he didn't think Aldridge would lose to Victoria at all.
Slo, unless Wislo is also a loser.
But this situation is really slim. Ronan's game has to start first. He also asked Mario about his opponent yesterday.
The mercenary nicknamed "Big Cat" Hua Can got this title all because of his lynx pet. Before he became a mercenary, he was a hunter. One day, he found the body of a female lynx.
He found the hungry lynx cub next to him, so he took the cub back and raised it. Later, when he became a mercenary, the lynx also accompanied him in battle, helping him harass enemies or find prey.
However, he couldn't bring his cat with him in this kind of competition. Although Hua Can was nimble in his steps, quick in reaction, and good at using a machete, he was not physically strong. Facing Ronan, who was stronger than him and not inferior to him in agility, it was very difficult. Hard to win.
Ronan bet all his money on Aldridge, and since his own odds are very low now, he won't make much money if he bets.
With the customary mutual salutes and the customary referee's announcement, the game officially began. Hua Can held a scimitar, wore a horn helmet, and wore hard leather armor and chain shirts. Ronan only wore a chain shirt for flexibility. An armor made up of a shirt and a few simple armor pieces. After all, facing a player with such agility, wearing heavy plate armor is very likely to result in points being missed due to the inability to dodge.
Exhaling gently, Ronan adjusted his breathing and was ready to gather his energy at any time. The battles in the past few days have made him a lot more proficient in gathering energy. After all, real knowledge comes from actual combat. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. No matter how much you practice, it will not work. It's not as fast as doing a few actual exercises.
Ronan held a long sword in his hand, and then squatted half-crouched with his upper body pressed down. His left hand was placed in front of him like a claw, and he stepped back with one leg, ready to kick on the ground to use force to run. He held the long sword in his right hand and placed it on his waist. The body is slightly twisted to the right.
The storm is roaring!
Orochi's most classic Iai posture in For Honor is also Ronan's favorite starting attack when playing games in his previous life. Although the sword is not in his hand, the long sword does not hinder his execution.
Taking a gentle breath, Ronan suddenly held his breath, and quickly kicked the ground with his back feet, making a small dent in the sandy ground. A burst of smoke and dust rose from behind, and Ronan's body suddenly tensed up like a sharp arrow. The same thing ejected.
Ronan suddenly accelerated his attack, but Hua Can reacted quickly and responded quickly. However, Ronan pretended to attack from the left, but when he was about to get close, he suddenly forcibly twisted his body, and while he was flying into the air, he rotated his body and carried the long sword in his hand. Chopping hard.
The power itself was stronger than Hua Can's, plus the power of gathering energy, the power of Ronan's sprint, and the power of falling after rising into the air. Although Hua Can reacted, he could not stop it at all.
Hua Can grabbed the back of the scimitar with his armored left hand, and held the handle with his right hand and lifted it up to resist Ronan's slash. However, Ronan's huge strength directly overturned the weapon and pressed it against his chest. His knees sank and he fell to his knees directly.
No one expected that Hua Can could not even take one of Ronan's blows, but was beaten to the ground directly. Ronan was unyielding and raised his swords high to strike continuously. Hua Can regained his strength every time. He raised his weapon to block, but was knocked back by Ronan again. He had no time to stand up and could only kneel down to block Ronan's attack.
But after a few blows, Hua Can's hands were shocked to the point of losing consciousness, and he could no longer hold the weapon. After resisting Ronan's attack again, the scimitar flew away from his hand. Ronan gently exhaled the breath in his chest, and then continued Two taps on his helmet secured victory.
Hua Can couldn't recover for a while. He didn't expect that he was easily defeated by Ronan without any chance of fighting back. He was directly suppressed by Ronan from the beginning. He underestimated his opponent's strength and did not dodge directly, but wanted to take over. He tried the next blow, but he didn't expect that Ronan's power was far beyond his expectation, and he couldn't catch it at all.
