Quadruple split

Game time PM16:07

Academy City, Central District, Arena

"Uh-huh..."

Barty Arthur opened his eyes with difficulty and let out a dry groan. It took him several attempts to successfully focus and see clearly the figure that had been dangling in front of him.

It was Lenan Lena, who had long, silky golden hair and a pair of pointed rabbit ears on his head. He was a half-orc but of a very different breed. Although he was also a seventh-grade student at the Paladin Academy, he was still a half-orc. I started a work-study program to help with the orientation on my second day of school, so the other party has been calling me 'senior' since then, and I can't change it no matter what.

"Ah! Senior, you finally woke up!"

The tall girl who was carefully applying a warm towel to Barty's forehead saw Barty open his eyes and let out a cry of joy. Then she squatted next to the bench where the latter was lying on his back and held Barty tightly. His right hand asked with concern: "Senior, are you feeling better? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Do you have a headache?"

"Ugh."

Barty shook his head vigorously and muttered subconsciously: "It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy. I was..."

He suddenly froze.

It was only then that Barty suddenly realized that Lenan, who was squatting in front of him, was not wearing the uniform that always made people think the size was too small, but was wearing a uniform that looked dilapidated and full of dents. With cracks, the heavy knight's armor has been removed from the arm armor and shoulder armor.

Not only that, her exposed white left arm was covered with bandages, and there were dots of bright red under the snow-white linen.

"Feel sorry."

At this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded behind Barty. He turned his head stiffly and saw a beautiful elf woman with a red ponytail and black heavy armor full of cracks looking apologetically. Looking at himself, he said with some embarrassment: "I may have struck too hard."

【What a beautiful elf. 】

Barty blinked and sighed sincerely in his heart.

"What does it mean to strike too hard~"

Another girl caught Barty's eyes. She was also wearing the same style of black heavy armor as the former, and had refreshing black short hair. Although her delicate little face was stained by dust and sweat, she was still pretty. He was carrying a heavy shield with only half of it behind him, and made a cute face to himself: "Who knew you were so irresistible? You are the core of the team, and our little brother Mo here is super It’s amazing, but you didn’t even catch Sister Leia’s sword, and you were slapped to the ground directly. This can’t be entirely our fault!”

【What a beautiful girl. 】

Barty's thoughts were interrupted, and he uttered a second sigh in his heart that was actually not very appropriate.

"Scarlett!"

Liadrin immediately pulled Scarlett Diesel, who was eager and outspoken, and scolded her in a low voice: "Don't say such ungraceful words!"

"Anyway, it doesn't seem to be anything serious."

The girl with waist-length white hair glanced at Barty, folded her arms and said leisurely: "I have implemented your plan properly. It is not my responsibility to misjudge that guy's strength. If Hopkins wants to If I cheat, you have to testify for me."

[Miss Mu Xuejian is still as beautiful as ever, is this paradise...]

Barty's eyes were a little straight.

"Senior..."

Lainan did not let go of Barty's hand, but lowered his head with red eyes, and whispered to his fellow senior who was probably suffering from a concussion: "I'm sorry, we lost."

"Ah, it's okay. If you lose, you lose. Just win it back next time."

Barty subconsciously comforted his fellow student, who despite going through seven years of 'torture' at the Paladin Academy, was still gentle and introverted, without any gloom. After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses. Exclaimed: "Wait a minute! You said we lost!?"

"Wow, Sister Leah, you seem to have really knocked this guy's head off!"

Scarlett rolled her eyes, hammered her palm hard, and then was knocked to the ground by a heavy blow from Liadrin, holding her head and squatting on the ground, her eyes full of tears, which was really cute.

Lainan looked helplessly at the two female knights next to him who had clearly frightened him not long ago, and almost used their own strength as the tip of a spear to smash through their own main formation, but now they were extremely approachable and even a little funny. Di nodded slightly: "Well, we lost."

"Really...I lost..."

At this moment, Barty finally got rid of the aftereffects of Liadrin's sword, and remembered where and what he was doing before. He sighed sadly, and smiled bitterly after realizing that he didn't seem to be as lost as he thought. He shook his head: "If you lose, just lose."

Linan, who had prepared a lot of words of comfort, suddenly widened his eyes: "Senior, why are you..."

"Why am I not very disappointed?"

Barty stood up with difficulty, covered his groggy head and laughed dryly: "Because I really have nothing to lose. To be honest, Lainan, although I feel a little sorry for everyone in my heart, but if I have If I have any regrets in this game...at least for me, there is none. I have worked very hard, but..."

He turned his attention again to the two female knights of the Diesel family and shook his head helplessly.

"It's just that we are too powerful! Just a little bit!"

Scarlett stuck out her tongue, and the little girl made a face at Barty heartily.

"I told you to be classy!"

Liadrin was helpless and held down her sister's head, pushing her behind her. Then she stood up straight and said sternly to Barty: "You are very strong, classmate Barty, and your friends are also very strong. If not If we don’t, even if we try our best today, we won’t be able to win this game.”

"Thank you for your compliment, Miss Liadrin."

Because the rabbit-eared girl next to him kept holding him down forcefully, Barty could not stand up. He could only sit on the chair and nodded slightly, then shook his head and said with a smile: "But you should also be able to see that we actually started from the beginning. She has been cheating since the beginning. Not only is Miss Mu Xuejian not a knight, she also went through the enrollment procedures in the first two months just for this fighting competition. So if we make assumptions, we must exclude her and the silent knight. It’s only fair to lose, in that case, we are still unable to be your opponent Diesel.”

Liadrin smiled and said, "No, I think you are really strong, it's just that we are stronger."

"That 'strong' doesn't include you!"

Scarlett poked her head out from behind Liadrin's shoulder, and wrinkled her nose very vindictively at the commander who had caused her a lot of trouble before: "You are really inferior! Weak fox !”

"Senior Barty is awesome!"

Lenan pouted and tried to put on a fierce expression, but in fact he defended Barty softly and cutely: "He's just... just... not very good at fighting!"

"So it's not surprising that we lost... Oops! Sister Leah, I was wrong! I was wrong, wrong!"

Scarlett chuckled, and then she was dragged away by the ears by Liadrin, who was looking apologetic.

The two of them just came here to see Batty, who was most unconscious despite not having fought much. Now that the latter was fine, they naturally didn't stay for long.

After a brief silence...

"Tell me about it."

Barty breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled at Lenan, who was still glaring at Scarlett's back angrily: "How did we lose?"

"Yes, senior."

The rabbit-eared girl nodded meekly and said softly: "The Diesel team did not break up after approaching a certain distance as we thought, but directly smashed in. The tip of their spear was the only one left at that time. The two heavy cavalrymen, Miss Liadrin and Scarlett who came to visit you just now, completed the beheading of you, senior, before all of us could react, and then drove straight into our formation and directly divided the battlefield. It has become more than a dozen pieces, and on average each of us has to face the pressure of two Diesel Knights at the same time, without... no command."

"Um."

Barty nodded slightly, not blaming himself too much. After all, he could more or less guess that he made no obvious tactical mistakes even at the last moment. In fact, if the Paladin Knight Academy did not strengthen the defenses on both sides at that time, If so, those Diesel people will definitely launch [fishing net tactics] resolutely, and their side will only collapse faster.

The problem is that……

“How on earth did they complete the division when most of them only had Rangers, and then defeat you after that?

Batty frowned slightly and cast a confused look at Lainan: "Indeed, no matter how seriously consumed the two ladies just now were, they could still penetrate directly with the impact of the heavy cavalry, even against me, who was less powerful. Direct beheading, but even so, I don’t think they can easily break through our array of more than 20 heavy cavalry.”

"But senior..."

Lenan sighed and said in a very depressed voice: "Although the other members of Diesel's team rushing into battle at that time were indeed Rangers, they were not entirely Rangers."

Barty blinked and said in shock: "What did you say?"

"In fact, they only have knights in a relatively lightly armed ranger configuration."

Lainan, who also realized this later, wiped Barty's cheek with a warm towel and murmured with a reddish face: "But their mounts... those black dragon colts are all heavily equipped. , the armors worn by those war horses alone are heavier than the equipment we have here including the men and horses together, and they are all equipped with heavy shields, so in terms of impact... they are actually not inferior. It may even be stronger than ordinary heavy riding."

Batty: "..."

After a minute's silence

"So, you were not being charged by a troop of Rangers."

Batty swallowed hard and said with straight eyes: "Instead, he used the posture of heavy infantry to attack all the shields from the front. The impact was no less than that of conventional heavy cavalry, and the number was Need nearly one-third more charges?”

Lai Nan nodded slightly: "To be precise, it's a synchronized charge."

"Then the mobility they showed before..."

"Miss Liadrin told me that it actually has little to do with the knight's light equipment. It is entirely because the quality of the black dragon colt is much higher than that of ordinary war horses."

"Have they been retaining their strength?"

"Now it seems that is indeed the case."

"this……"

Barty was stunned and froze in his chair for a long time, and finally he turned the thousand words in his heart into a slight smile: "Okay, it seems that we did not lose unfairly. I counted ten steps here, but Dee Serge's team... had calculated a hundred steps before the game started, and it was a hundred steps that included all possibilities."

"Senior..."

Lainan looked at Barty with some worry, who not only did not show any frustration, but even showed a refreshing smile, fearing that the latter would be stimulated to go crazy.

"I'm fine. I just feel convinced. I don't have any temper at all."

Barty grinned and shrugged: "To be honest, I can fight back and forth with such an outrageous Diesel cavalry, and I can struggle for so long in a tactical system that has no dead ends. Not only do I not feel sad, , and even felt a bit fucking honored.”

"Senior!?"

Barty, who is always so gentle and gentle and almost never uses foul language, managed to scare Lenan.

"If I'm not wrong, since those Diesel Knights will always hide their strength until the final decision, I'm afraid even if I let Mu Xuejian stay with the main formation, the other party will have corresponding means. It's really... Yes It’s scary enough.”

Barty smacked his lips, and then continued to ask: "Then what? Are we completely defeated like this?"

"Um……"

Lai Nan nodded and whispered: "After losing our senior and being penetrated and divided by the other party immediately, we fell into chaos for a while. When we came back to our senses, we were completely scattered. But even so, Everyone is still resisting desperately, but Diesel's cooperation is so tacit. Although the number of people is only one-third more than us, they still keep almost everyone of us in control by allowing free people to roam around at high frequency. Both of them were under pressure.”

"How long did you hold on?"

"Three minutes...maybe less than..."

"very good already."

Barty smiled approvingly at Lai Nan, who looked guilty, and then turned to look at the white-haired girl who had been eating snacks since just now: "Where are you, Miss Mu Xuejian?"

"I?"

Putting the last piece of crispy yellow chicken into his mouth, Mu Xuejian tilted his head while licking his fingers: "My words knocked down Mo and his mean-mouthed dragon turtle."

"Uh-huh."

"But by then Lai Nan and the others had been killed, and I was the only one left here."

"Then what?"

"Then the person named Scarlett shouted at me and told me to admit defeat."

"Well……"

"I didn't agree."

"Hmm...what happens next?"

"Then the rest of them rode away from me on horseback, shooting at me with arrows as they went, and they even took away the horse you lent me."

"This...and then what?"

"I thought about it and felt like I couldn't handle it, so I gave up."
