It was unlikely that one of the escort agencies would be deliberately targeted to death. At most, the five major escort agencies would make some slight adjustments to their strategy of arranging their troops and formations. They would not specifically target a single agency.
Therefore, everyone turned a blind eye to it and acted as if they were used to it. As one of the five major escort agencies, one had to have some privileges. In the South continent's Sea area, where the strong preyed on the weak, it was already very rare to achieve such fairness. No one was stupid enough to ask for so-called true fairness.
After waiting for a while, Qi Mingyuan finally saw the Dragon Boat escort's name list. He shook his head at Qi Wenhan, indicating that he didn't see Wu baoliang. Qi Wenhan then handed in the list of eight people he had prepared in advance.
Following that, the representatives of the other five big bodyguard agencies handed in their names. Compared to the newly-promoted Qitian bodyguard agency, they were obviously more experienced.
While Qi Wenhan was waiting for the Longzhou escort agency's name list, they were waiting for the Qitian escort agency's name list, as well as their own name list. The biggest competitors of the five escort agencies had always been each other. The threat that the other escort agencies posed to them was far less than that of themselves.
After all thirty-two agencies had submitted their names, Zhao bufan then gathered all the people in charge of the agency on behalf of the judging panel. Under everyone's supervision, they started to draw lots.
Since ancient times, no matter the form of competition, the drawing of lots had always been the segment where dirty tricks were the most likely to appear. It was also the segment where it was the most likely to have underhanded operations. Therefore, everyone paid special attention to this and paid special attention to it.
As a result, the judges from the five big bodyguard agencies weren't the only ones watching the process closely. There were also other invited guests from different forces. If anyone could do anything under the supervision of so many masters, then they'd have to be as strong as Lin Yi.
Very quickly, the results of the draw were announced under everyone's watchful eyes. Putting aside the results of the other escort agencies, at least the Qitian escort agency's draw was not too bad.
The results of the draw were that the opponent for the escort battle was the Wuma escort agency, and the opponent for the escort robbery battle was the Yongxing escort agency.
Fortunately, be it the horse escort agency or Yongxing escort agency, they were not in the top five escort agencies. They were not now, and they were not in the past. Therefore, in terms of overall strength, Qitian escort agency was obviously stronger.
However, Qi Wenhan wasn't happy at all about the result of the draw. Although the strength of these two escort agencies couldn't be compared with the five major escort agencies, they were definitely not weak. In the last escort agency meeting in the South continent, these two agencies were ranked 11th and 13th respectively.
Moreover, the strength of these two bodyguard agencies was very stable. Not only in the last pageant, but they had basically maintained this ranking in almost all the previous gatherings. In other words, among the thirty-two bodyguard agencies, although the Wuma bodyguard agency and Yongxing bodyguard agency were not considered first-class, they were completely worthy of an above-average evaluation.
More importantly, they were different from Qitian escort agency. In order to deal with the main event later, Qi Wenhan had to consider preserving his strength to avoid a lack of stamina. However, neither the horse escort agency nor the Yongxing escort agency would have such an idea. Their typical strategy was to fight to the death in every match and would never deliberately hold back their strength.
To them, the position of one of the five biggest escort agencies was an unreachable dream. The most realistic goal was to maintain their ranking. It was already a great success for them to be able to get into the top ten. Their previous ranking was achieved by fighting to the death with others. This time, they would naturally have to put in their best effort.
Therefore, these two families were definitely tough to deal with. It was no wonder that Qi Wenhan was frowning. This was his first time leading a team to participate in the South continent's bodyguard agency event. If he made a bad start and failed in the beginning, he would be too ashamed to face anyone.
"There's no need to be nervous. We're the strong side, so there won't be any problems if we perform as per normal. They should be the ones who should be nervous. " Lin Yi said as he patted his shoulder.
"Brother Ling is right, I was too caught up in the situation." Qi Wenhan broke out in a cold sweat. He turned to look at the bodyguards and nodded at Lin Yi gratefully.
The general was the courage of the soldiers. The war had not officially started yet, and if even he, the young master, was already in a panic, the impact on everyone's morale could be imagined. If this fear was allowed to spread, perhaps the Army would really be defeated like a mountain.
Lin Yi smiled. He didn't care much about the Qitian bodyguard agency's results, but he wouldn't just watch Qi Wenhan and the others make low-level mistakes. Even if it was for the sake of their friendship, he had to make sure that the Qitian bodyguard agency could maintain its position as one of the five big bodyguard agencies. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for Lin Yi, who was the trump card of the Qi father and son.
The bodyguards from the 32 bodyguard agencies rubbed their fists and wiped their palms as they looked at the battle arrangement that was announced on the huge notice board. In the end, under the announcement of the judging team, they entered their respective competition grounds one after another.
For every escort agency, there would be two rounds in the first round of the competition-the escort guarding battle and the escort snatching battle. There was no time to adjust between the two battles, and they would start at the same time.
In the huge demonic cold square, the 32 escort agencies each occupied a space. In the center of each space, there was a treasure chest that had been prepared in advance. This was their sealed package, and it could also be said to be their arena.
Eight escorts would go out for the battle. Four of them would guard the escort items and their own ring, while the other four would go to the other escort agency's ring to Rob them.
With the judge's order, the first round of thirty-two matches began at the same time. In thirty-two different venues, two hundred and fifty-six golden core bodyguards began to fight. The atmosphere at the scene was instantly pushed to a peak. The cheers and shouts soared to the sky and were deafening.
The bodyguards on the field were either attacking, defending, confronting each other, or roaming around. Everyone was on guard as if they were facing a great enemy and did not dare to let down their guard. At this time, the busiest people were not them, but the people in charge of the various bodyguard agencies.
Just like Qi Wenhan, because the two duels started at different locations at the same time, it was impossible to take care of both sides at the same time. He really couldn't attend to both sides at the same time. In the end, he had no choice but to ask Butler song for help and let him supervise another escort battle.
Butler song's position in the Qitian bodyguard agency was not below Qi Wenhan 's. With him supervising the battle, the bodyguards didn't dare to neglect him. However, in the face of Qi Wenhan's request for help, Butler song only shook his head and pointed at Lin Yi.
Oh, right! Only then did Qi Wenhan react. He secretly praised uncle song for his brilliance! He was thinking far and wide! (To be continued.)
