Chapter 137 The Butterfly Effect, Germany Opens
Chapter 137 The Butterfly Effect, Germany Opens
in a few days
People from all over the world gradually came to Venice. In just a few days, the number of tourists in the small city increased nearly three times. The boatways, bridges, squares and bus ferries all seemed a bit crowded.
On the Doge's Palace in Venice, the national flag of the 32nd team has been hoisted high in the sky. When the sun rises in the east, the magic salute resounds throughout this beautiful city in the bay.
The gorgeous and sacred light fell down and fell on the young and energetic faces of the teams from various countries.
The national teams from various countries listened to Italy's loud magic war song and enjoyed the envy, admiration and high expectations of people all over the world.
From this moment on, they were no longer unknown little wizards, but prestigious wizards who had the potential to enter the Parthenon, the Temple of Liberty, the Sacred Houses, and St. Peter's Basilica.
No matter where you go, saying your name can cause a sigh of relief.
And the people present today are all super-powerful mages who are famous in the world.
………………
After the opening ceremony, the usual drawing of lots began.
"Captain, go draw lots."
Mentor Feng Li said to Luo Chen.
There are thirty-two teams, and the captains of each team have come out.
Normally, the instructor is usually responsible for drawing lots, but I don’t know since when, the team captain is responsible for drawing lots.
But it can also be considered a kind of honor. After all, the entire drawing process will be broadcast live and the captains will be exposed to the eyes of people all over the world.
Luo Chen walked onto the stage calmly. After drawing the lots, he glanced at it casually, showed it to the referee, and then walked back holding the draw card.
"How is it? How is it? Which team is it?!"
The members of the National Government team gathered around and asked expectantly.
Luo Chen did not keep anyone in suspense and directly showed the drawn lot to everyone.
"Wow, Germany?!"
Mo Fan's eyes widened when he saw the country that was drawn.
"Germany is a long-established powerhouse. Even though they are not considered to be the seeded team to win the championship, it is unlucky to face a team like this right at the start."
Ai Jiangtu was also somewhat speechless at this time.
"According to the intelligence we have collected so far, Germany has basically not revealed any of its strength during its training. It looks like our first battle will be a tough one!
If we don’t show some of our strength, we’ll probably be eliminated in the first round.”
Jiang Yu also spoke seriously.
"There's no need to worry so much. Don't forget, we're here to win the championship!"
Luo Chen spoke directly at this time.
"Since we've met the German team, let's just eliminate them!"
Luo Chen did not expect that he would draw the German team in the first draw, but after all, he appeared, so it was normal to have some butterfly effect.
Anyway, they are all here to win the championship, so it doesn't matter who they beat.
"Yes, the captain is right, it's just the German team."
Zhao Manyan also stood up and spoke seriously at this moment.
It's just the German team, but the captain defeated the seeded British team alone.
There is no need to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige.
After hearing what Luo Chen and Zhao Manyan said, the others also nodded.
They didn't think their national team would lose.
However, if you reveal too much of your strength in the first round, you might be targeted in future matches...
....................................
Meanwhile, the other side
After the German team found out that they had drawn the Chinese team in the first round, the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more relaxed.
"Great! It seems the captain is lucky enough to have drawn the Chinese team in the first round."
A woman with several moles on her face said with a smile, "Indeed, our luck is really good. We are basically sure to win the first round.
I hope I can have such good luck in the next few rounds and not run into those seeded teams directly."
Another member of the German team also spoke easily.
The other team members also nodded in agreement.
They did not take the strength of the Chinese team seriously.
In addition to the fact that Germany itself is a long-established magical power, it is also because the Chinese team's performance in the previous session was too miserable, and they didn't even make it to the quarter-finals.
Therefore, the German national team naturally does not take the Chinese national team seriously.
"Don't let your guard down. According to intelligence, the captain of the Huaxia National Team is very difficult to deal with..."
As the captain, Qiao Sen still spoke seriously.
"Captain, you are too serious,"
Reddy shook his head and spoke easily.
"No matter how strong he is alone, if the five of us attack together, we can take care of the captain first. Then the rest will be at our mercy, right?"
"Yes!"
Another team member echoed.
German national team captain Qiao Sen listened to his teammates' words and nodded, but for some reason, he still felt a little uneasy...
Maybe it's an illusion...
....................................
"Mo Fan, please stay on the sidelines and observe the battle situation."
Feng Li said to Mo Fan.
"no problem."
Mo Fan nodded. His strength had not yet been fully revealed. The later he entered the arena, the greater his chances of winning.
"Luo Chen, as the starter, you have to control the situation well." Feng Li instructed.
"no problem……"
"Mu Ningxue, you control the situation." Feng Li said.
Mu Ningxue also nodded.
"Zhao Manyan, you start too." Feng Li hesitated for a long time and felt that it was necessary to let Zhao Manyan play.
"I?"
Zhao Manyan pointed at himself, feeling somewhat flattered. After all, many people thought that he was the weakest in the team.
"Yes, it's you. The other side has an extremely powerful destruction mage, so you must be mentally prepared." Feng Li said.
"Jiang Shaoxu, responsible for spiritual defense and confusing opponents."
"Nanjue, be responsible for interference and defense, and take charge of the overall situation."
The lineup was chosen and everyone had basically no objection.
Zhao Manyan is a typical defensive mage who focuses on elemental defense.
Nan Jue and Jiang Shaoxu are typical auxiliary mages.
With the addition of Luo Chen and Mu Ningxue, who have explosive combat power, the current lineup is formed. They are capable of both offense and defense, and can advance and retreat easily...
Of course, the key to the game still lies with Luo Chen...
If the original plan had been followed, the mentors would not have prepared to hand over their trump cards in the first round.
But there was no way. As a veteran magical power, Germany brought too much pressure to the Chinese team.
In the last World University Competition, the Huaxia National University team was eliminated in the second round.
If China is eliminated in the first round again this time, it will not be able to hold its head up in the international arena for the next few years.
No matter what, we must win this first game!
