Team battles are divided into three groups according to school age, with five people in each group playing against each other.
Of course, these more than a thousand colleges did not randomly draw lots to determine their opponents, but competed in stages according to the ranking of the colleges.
The purpose of team battles is to train students' teamwork skills. In order for all college teams to compete with teams of similar levels, segmented duels are necessary.
There is a huge gap in strength between the top-ranked college teams and the bottom-ranked teams, with the former overwhelming the latter.
Take Charles College as an example. The high-school-age teams at Charles College are all senior professionals, and the colleges ranked one or two hundred below will only produce a senior professional in a few years. If these two teams meet, the battle will be difficult. It makes no sense.
Since there are many academies and the training ground is large enough, many battles can be held at the same time, so every 20 students are divided into a section. In each section, each academy has to compete with the other 19 academies. The winner will score 3 points. A tie is worth 1 point each.
The team battle was planned to be completed within five days, and the schedule was very tight. Many students had to give up several matches in their own colleges to watch some focus battles.
The focus of the battle is all concentrated in the first section. The top twenty top college teams are all very strong, and the two college giants, Charles College and Holker College, are the focus of the spotlight.
The game between Charles College and Holker College was deliberately scheduled for the first game on the first day, and there were no other games taking place at the same time. This move is not only to attract people's attention, but also to dispel the concerns of the students in advance and let them compete well.
The battle is conducted from low school age to high school age. The low school age team of Holk Academy is composed of five intermediate professionals. Grann serves as the captain and the mushroom-headed Alec is also a member of the team.
Glenn has been training with Luoriya and Jinji since he entered school. He has made rapid progress in three months, and his vision and combat experience have been greatly improved.
The biggest advantage of joining Rogge's team is not that he gets a few pieces of rare equipment, but that he can always ask Rogge and others for advice.
Glenn was an introvert, but he was unambiguous when asking questions. Often, Ophina would get impatient and beat him with a stick.
The patient Rogge taught him a lot. Rogge was more like his teacher than his partner, so Rogge handed over the captaincy to him with confidence.
Over at Charles Academy, there was actually a senior swordsman among the five, and the other four were also intermediate professionals.
Senior professionals are very rare in the lower age groups, with only two in all academy teams and one in the fifth-ranked academy team.
After the two sides entered the arena and got into formation, the battle officially began with Charlison's order.
According to the pre-war plan formulated by Grann, the Holk Academy team stood still and maintained their defensive formation.
The safest way for the weaker side is to seek opportunities in defense. This is the tactic Rogge taught Grann.
The Charles Academy team launched an offensive under the leadership of a senior swordsman. He himself served as the tip of the sword, intending to rely on his personal strength to quickly reduce the opponent's numbers.
Under Grann's order, the mushroom-headed Alec and a defender attacked the senior swordsman from left to right. At the same time, the last warrior in the team attacked the other two opponents with wide-open and wide-open sword moves. The warrior caught them off guard.
Both sides were equipped with three warriors and two magicians. The first round of confrontation between warriors was a two-on-one situation, but one side relied on bravery to hold on, while the other side relied on a higher level of hard power to deal with it with ease.
I saw the senior swordsman from the Charles Academy team flying up and kicking the defender's shield, blocking Alec's gun at the same time, then rotating his body hard, breaking away from the two men's siege before the defender could take over, and turned around to attack. To the swordsman of Holk Academy.
The advanced warrior's speed advantage was taken advantage of. Alec and the defender were unable to catch up with him. They watched their teammates fall into a three-man siege and were eliminated in just two moves.
The senior swordsman turned around and smiled proudly, but what greeted him was a fierce explosion of flames!
The senior swordsman quickly dodged, but the sudden explosion of flames was not directed at him, but he was just in the flight path of the big fireball.
"Boom!" The fireball exploded and a heat wave swept across the training ground. The two magicians at the back of the Charles Academy team were directly burned and left the field.
Four against three, although the opponent had high-level swordsmen, they lost the magic support, and the disadvantage in strength was regained.
Grann withdrew the pointed staff and gestured to another fellow earth magician.
The earth magician received the order, clasped his hands, and four solid stone walls suddenly appeared in the opponent's formation, trapping a defender.
Alec and our defenders rushed forward again, entangled the senior swordsman, and the earth magician released the flying rock technique to interfere with the opponent's last fighter.
Grann took action again, first using flame attachment on the senior swordsman to reduce the pressure on his teammates, and then eliminated the fighter with a burst of flames.
The situation became four versus two, and our side gained the advantage.
The flame attachment can only disrupt high-level opponents. The high-level swordsman exploded with energy, dispelled the flame attachment, used the same method to get rid of Alec's entanglement again, and rushed directly to Grann!
The opponent's goal is very clear, first kill Grann, the captain and first DPS. If they can succeed, victory will still belong to them.
The earth magician gritted his teeth, ran towards Grann who was not far away, and stood in front of him. He released the earth wall cage and covered himself and the senior swordsman in it!
At the same time, Alec and the defender were not idle, eliminating the opponent's defender who had just broken through the earth wall cage.
Three against one, although the opponent is an advanced swordsman, he is only at the advanced level. Three intermediate professionals with reasonable configuration have a chance to defeat him.
Taking advantage of the ten seconds when the senior swordsman was trapped, Grann moved behind his teammates, brewing the Explosive Flame Technique.
"Boom!" The earthen wall cage collapsed, and the senior swordsman escaped, only to be hit by the Explosive Flame Technique again.
The senior swordsman shouted loudly and slashed out with a half-moon slash, destroying most of the power of the Explosive Flame Technique!
Just when the power of his sword was about to run out, our defenders attacked from the side and used shield strikes to hit the senior swordsman.
The senior swordsman tried his best to defend. Although he knocked off the defender's shield, he was completely out of position.
The defender directly discarded the shield, held the gun with both hands and made a non-standard piercing thrust, which tempted the senior swordsman to defend himself, abandoned the gun again, and hugged him fiercely!
The senior swordsman symbolically slashed the defender with his sword, knocking him out. Just as he was about to continue fighting, a gleaming spear tip was pressed against his throat, and a scorching fireball also came from his side. Brushed.
The Holk Academy team eliminated everyone on the other side, leaving only Grann and Alec, and won.
The first game of the opening battle was a wonderful battle in which the weak defeated the strong. The students were full of energy and looked forward to showing off their skills in the battle.
The captains of the opposing teams seemed to have learned something from the tactics implemented by the Holk Academy team.
Grann used the standard split-and-break tactics, dragging down the enemy's strongest player, reducing the enemy's numbers as quickly as possible, creating a situation in which more and fewer were defeated, and then divided and broken again, ultimately winning.
The principles of tactics are simple and easy to understand, but actual execution requires the commander to have keen battlefield judgment, which is not an easy task.
When Grann was training with Luoriya and Jinji, Jinji specifically asked the young man to command the team, and his battlefield judgment developed rapidly.
Grann ended his state of high concentration, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a soft breath, and then looked at the team of his college amid the applause of the students.
Rogge was looking at him with relief. He was very satisfied with the young man's performance, as if he could see a little bit of himself.
However, the person Grann was waving to was not Rogge, his friend and teacher, but his goddess Elena, who also obediently clapped her hands and cheered him up.
"Brother, you taught Grann very well. He was very good in every aspect~" Ophina said in a sinister tone.
"...It's because he didn't learn well." Rogge argued.
The middle school age group came on stage. The Holk Academy team was led by Lisa. It still had a configuration of three warriors and two magicians. Among the five people, there were two senior professionals.
The configuration of Charles Academy is four warriors and one magician, as well as two senior professionals.
From the lineup analysis, Charles Academy's intention is to quickly break through the front row. Their two senior professionals are both warriors and gun dancers with outstanding breakthrough abilities.
If Holk Academy wants to win, it depends on the performance of senior wind magician Lisa.
Lisa pursed her lips and glanced at Rogge, finding that he was paying close attention to the battle, which made her even more determined to win the game.
Whether it is Roger's calm, rational, thoughtful character or outstanding strength, Lisa is attracted to him all the time. What was once a life-saving grace has become a step further and turned into a feeling of longing.
After witnessing the deep bond between Rogge, Filia and Ofina, Lisa understood that it was almost impossible for her to squeeze into the relationship between the three of them.
Lisa had been deceived by the scumbag Tang En, so she was more cautious in handling her feelings, restrained herself, and tried her best to make her longing just a longing.
However, on the highly anticipated stage of the college competition, Lisa really wanted to show off and prove herself, and expected to get more attention from Rogge, even a few words of praise.
The battle begins.
The four warriors on the other side charged first, and the two senior spear dancers directly attacked the senior fighters in the Holk Academy team. Their marksmanship was extremely sharp, and their cooperation was very tacit. It seemed that they had been trained for a long time.
A fighter is a profession that has both offense and defense. Even so, our high-level fighters were retreating steadily under the attack of the two gun dancers, struggling to hold on.
The remaining warriors from the two teams fought against each other, and the two intermediate magicians were also fighting against each other with magic. Lisa became the free agent of the audience and became the key point for Holk Academy to break the game.
Lisa immediately used the floating technique to fly up, and used a powerful wind binding technique to temporarily drag one of the gun dancers, and then went straight to the magician in the opponent's back row!
The opponent's magician is a thunder magician, and according to the element restraint relationship, he restrains the wind element. However, Lisa is a very fast wind magician, and is one level higher than the opponent, so the restraint relationship is not obvious.
I saw Lisa flying towards the thunder magician in a zigzag path in mid-air, while releasing wind blades at high frequency to attack the opponent from all angles!
Facing thunder magicians with weak defense capabilities, the simplest first-level magic is the most efficient means of attack.
The thunder magician gritted his teeth and wanted to target Lisa and trade with her, but he couldn't.
"Boom!" As a lightning strike missed, the lightning magician was eliminated.
Our water magician was ordered by Lisa to immediately use the fog barrier technique, and the entire battlefield was gradually filled with water mist.
