Chapter 66 Awakening
The golden lion, who was always gorgeous and mighty, was frantically forced by others. To everyone's expectations, he was used to taking action in a retreat, but as long as he retreated, the mecha would lose control. The opponent immediately took advantage of the momentum, and he could only continue to retreat and become even more embarrassed.
Snap ~
The slight sound of metal friction made more than half of the people in the audience sank, especially Lai Ao's father, whose face seemed to be covered with ice.
The long sword hit the lion's shoulder. Since the hitting part was not vital, and the timely dodging was not serious, the referee did not determine the end of the game. It is unknown whether the CIA director's face was given.
A painless knife is a fatal blow to the confidence and rhythm of the attacker. Defense is like a river bank. Once it collapses, it will have loopholes. In less than ten seconds, the golden lion will be hit by the knife again, and then the third time it will be hit by the knife in seven seconds.
Although each knife did not hit the vital point and was not fatal, it really tested the hearts of many people and the size of the referee. To be fair, he did not want the Golden Lion to be eliminated in the first round. Even if he did not look at the face of the Director of the CIA, the old face of Dr. Townsend, and the expectations of the audience. If the Lion was eliminated at this time, the excitement of the latter game would inevitably be greatly reduced. The down-and-out Lion is also a Lion, and there is a possibility of a comeback at any time. Even himself is looking forward to the Golden Lion's awakening and stage a good show of a Jedi counterattack.
Lai Ao encountered an unprecedented dilemma, the scenery and honor were all gone, and the gorgeous glory was stripped off. At this moment, he was like a ragged vagabond, embarrassedly exposed to the vision of teachers and students of the college.
If this battle reaches this level, no matter what the winner is, Lai Ao's glory in the academy will be lost and his family will be shamed.
When you lose everything, there is no difference between aristocrats and a bachelors. Lai Ao doesn't have to worry about the consequences. He put down the heavy burden and suddenly awakens his courage. What's left is to make the person who brings shame to him pay the price.
The lion suddenly stopped retreating and swung out his short knife.
Ding ~
The sound of the collision was sharp and harsh, which made everyone's ear drums hurt, and their breathing was involuntarily suffocated.
He actually used a short knife to fight the long knife! And it was not used to hold the knife with both hands, but waved from bottom to top from one hand. Everyone knows that the two are very different in terms of strength and momentum. In this way, the side who uses the short knife must suffer a big loss. Is the Golden Lion crazy?
The amazing scene hits everyone's heart, which is more shocking than the sound of impact. What's even more amazing is that the golden lion did not suffer any losses. The strong force instead blocked the opponent's attack for a moment.
"What a powerful mecha!" Dr. Townsend smiled in surprise. In this case, 99% of the right arm of the mecha would break, and the expected picture did not happen, which is enough to prove that the mecha is excellent. In addition to its sharp and flexible attack ability, it is also surprisingly strong in structure, which is enough to support the power-type mecha master to perform. This is rare among mass-level mechas.
At the same time, Townsend vaguely felt a little strange. It was obvious that the mecha master was not good at attacking. As a modified person, he should be clear about the characteristics of the mecha master. Why should he assemble a mecha that is not suitable for the mecha master?
Also, is the mecha master crazy? Even if he has amazing power, he doesn’t need to spend it for no reason. This kind of remission is too much of a loss.
Reversal, the weird mecha exposed its cruel side during the attack, and its ugly face became even more ferocious. The frame leaned forward to reach a terrifying forty-three degrees, which made the mecha's head always in front, like a ferocious beast that cannibalizes.
The short sword completely lost its composition, and each sword slashed at the opponent's vital points, or blocked his long sword. The long sword's defense was not outstanding, and with the stronger force and the lion-like momentum, the opponent began to tremble and retreated continuously out of instinctive fear.
Seeing this scene, Chen Fang smiled knowingly and remembered the situation ten years ago. The lion at that time was the same as now. He was not weak, but because of his low status, he was bullied by other noble children.
Living in the circle of nobles, you either be arrogant or swallow your anger. This is related to the family background, and the lion has no choice. Later, Chen Fang appeared and changed all this. Anger and hatred that had been suppressed for too long burst out in an instant, but it was quite terrifying and the consequences were very serious.
By the way, Chen Fang gave him courage at that time, but the Lion said he would not admit anything, and said that he was a fan of the cold wind and lighted the ghost fire, causing himself to cause a big disaster. In fact, if the Chen family had not come forward, the Lion's family would have been implicated, and it was likely to be a catastrophe.
Just like that time, the lion was blinded by anger and had no way to think. His attack was pouring out anger. Even though he knew that a knife would hit the opponent's long sword, he still tried his best. If he could use his brain a little, he would have cut the opponent under the knife.
‘It can’t be defeated for a long time’, the lion became extremely irritable, and waved a knife to force the other party back, and he suddenly jumped high.
Fighting on Huashan? An ancient word popped out of Chen Fang's mind. The full force of swinging the knife down the air can certainly exert its strength to the extreme, but it doesn't have to be so ruthless.
The route of this trick is too simple and can be easily blocked by the opponent. The advantage lies in its strong power. Does he want to...
In an instant, the data informed Chen Fang of the Lion's attempt and ending at the same time, and the outcome was decided.
With a miserable metal moan, the long sword broke into two pieces from the middle, and the remaining momentum did not fade. After breaking through the defense, a knife slashed the opponent's shoulder. Although it was blocked by the long sword and failed to cut off the arm, it was deeply embedded in it.
With an undisputed victory, the referee immediately decided that the Lions won.
The whole venue was silent, and a thunderous cheer broke out after a moment. The battle reached this level, even if the lion barely turned defeat into victory, it was a shame. This move not only made him win, but also made him regain his dignity. The audience no longer cared about his initial embarrassment, but instead looked forward to his performance in the next round of the game. Someone in the audience roared the nickname of the Crazy Lion.
"Haha, is it like a little lion? I've made a cold sweat for him." In the stands, the Secretary of State smiled with relief.
"Shame, this kid is far worse than the third son. It's all thanks to the third son who helped him modify the mecha." The director of the CIA was humble on the surface, and was secretly happy for his son's awakening, and his gratitude was beyond words.
"What's there to be ashamed of? The little lion grew up, but it's just a lion. Well, how are the next round of the game divided?" The Secretary of State was also overjoyed. Compared to the rise of the lion, his grandson was recognized by Dr. Townsend, which was called an honor, especially the title of master. In his ears, it was really more comfortable than killing a violent beast with bare hands.
Back at the work room, Lai Ao had not recovered from his excitement, like a wild beast that had just been put into a cage, surrounding Chen Fang.
"This mecha needs to be changed. It has a significant flaw. It is too clumsy when retreating and is easily ridden by opponents. I want to drive it to give Sunny a little color."
Chen Fang was dizzy when he turned, but considering his excitement and intentionally keeping this excitement, he finally held it back and said as if nothing had happened: "This mecha has no defects, it cannot retreat."
Lai Ao was dizzy: "What, this mecha cannot retreat. How can there be such a mecha? Isn't this a cheating person?"
Chen Fang gently slammed the data version, stared at the display screen and said, "Your luck is average, and your next opponent is Sonny."
Lai Ao said anxiously: "Don't change the topic, how can the mecha not retreat? You have to help change it, otherwise, how can I fight Sunny? Besides, this mecha not retreat, at least you can tell me first."
Chen Fang turned his head and asked, "When did you see the striking mecha retreating? You don't need to retreat when you run away, right? And I have reminded you that lions cannot retreat."
Lai Ao scratched his head and said, "But you also know that I am good at defending and counterattacking. If I can't retreat, it will be difficult to defeat Sonny. He is not a rookie. I must not lose to him in this game."
Chen Fang stood up from the chair and patted Lai Ao on the shoulder: "Brother, this is just a practical class at the Imperial Academy. It can only make you glorious. How important is it? When you deal with pirates or fight for the empire, a mistake can kill you, and improving your strength is the most important thing. Let's talk about your defensive counterattack. In real actual combat, there are few one-on-one opportunities, all team battles. You are driving a strong attack mecha. Others will not attack you on you, they will only avoid you. You must take the initiative to attack and release your destructive power. This is why your teammates need you. Is the strong attack mecha that is good at defensive and effective? Sooner or later, you will be abandoned by your teammates. Your so-called defensive counterattack is worthless.
If you think about it carefully, you will know that these words are not without reason, and every sentence is heartfelt. The cruel reality made Lai Ao stunned on the spot and muttered to himself: "Another money is worth it."
Chen Fangsheng was afraid that the courage that had just awakened disappeared, so he quickly explained: "What I said is that the tactics of defensive counterattack are worthless, not you. Even in one-on-one battles, defensive counterattacks are worthless. You can defeat any opponent that can be defeated with a lion-like attack, and it must be much easier. Pure attacks can even allow you to defeat opponents that you could not defeat before, such as Sunny. Your previous defense counterattack has zero chance of defeating him, but based on your momentum just now, I dare say that there are at least five levels of chances to defeat him. If you don't fight to the last moment, it will be difficult to judge who will kill you. Originally, the probability I calculated was 15% at the beginning. As long as you take the initiative to attack, you will have this chance to beat him, but I underestimated your anger. Didn't you realize your awakening?"
Lai Ao was skeptical: "But I feel that when I fight you, the defense and counterattack seem to be very effective."
Chen Fang almost collapsed on the spot: "What you mean is to hold on for a while before losing, right? In the next battle, I will let you know that your defense and counterattack are useless, it is just complete garbage!"
Seeing his gritted teeth, Lai Ao began to believe that it was true, but unfortunately the excitement at the beginning disappeared, and the most precious anger.
Chen Fang regretted whether he was too hasty. He shouldn't showdown at this time. There was not much time, so he had to make the lion excited again.
"A tactic cannot be suitable for everyone. You have excellent potential and should start with strength to challenge the limit. Unfortunately, you go astray, think about your skills madly, and create unique defensive and counterattack tricks. It is difficult to make a breakthrough if you continue like this. You have also learned just now that the power of habit is amazing, and it is difficult to change it more than climbing to the sky. Especially when driving a mecha, you have no time to think about offense and defense in an instant, and rely entirely on instinct to react. I had no choice but to think about assembling this mecha and help you change it in a tough way."
Lai Ao was still hesitant: "I know nothing about the use of short swords. And once I go crazy, I seem to have forgotten all the skills. It's okay to deal with rookies by relying solely on strength. If it were Sunny, I'm afraid the chance of winning would be slim."
Chen Fang had a short knife to use, but unfortunately it was too late to teach anything at this time. Besides, Chen Fang knew very well that what Lai Ao lacked at the moment was excitement, not technology: "Have you ever worried that his skills were not good when he saw a lion pounce on his prey? Don't worry about anything, rush up and dismantle him."
Before we knew it, the second round of the game was about to begin.
Seeing the lion as excited as if he had used aphrodisiac and couldn't wait to get into the mecha, Chen Fang couldn't help feeling a little fluttered. The sense of accomplishment was even more violent than the sudden twisting of Sonny's neck when he drove the mecha himself.
He is a person who doesn't like to talk. Naturally, he doesn't know that his eloquence is so strong, although he will never have the chance to use it again in the future. He is too lazy to waste his lips and tongues for others unless he is for his brothers.
Thirsty, Chen Fang took the cup on the table and poured it in a hurry.
The two of them made every move in the workroom, projected onto the big screen through video. Fortunately, the outside world had no idea about the content of their conversation, otherwise, the military department would likely invite Chen Fang to show his strengths in his position in ideological work.
Chen Fang forgot the most important thing. These thirty minutes were used to repair the mecha, not to do ideological work.
The Secretary of State has a unique view: "The maintenance of people is far more important than the maintenance of mechas."
The smart old man obviously vaguely guessed the content of the conversation from the video, and the director of the CIA deeply agreed with this statement.
Townsend's explanation is relatively professional: "Mechas do not have to be repaired after every battle. Accurately judging whether the mecha needs maintenance and what level of repair is required is the most basic introductory skill for mecha maintenance engineers."
The implication is that anyone who has maintained the mecha is not introductory.
To be fair, unless the mecha legion of the regular troops advocates maintaining mechas after each battle. This is also limited to training. Once a battle occurs, it cannot be implemented at all.
