"But … …" Qi Wenhan still wasn't at ease. He couldn't think of an effective countermeasure right now, but he couldn't just stand by and watch Lin Yi get attacked. He couldn't just stand by and do nothing, not even if he was beaten to death.
In the worst-case scenario, even if he knew it would be useless, he had to take the lead. Even if it meant risking his life, he had to let everyone know that the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency's men were not to be provoked or bullied by anyone!
"No buts!" Lin Yi cut him off without hesitation. "Instead of worrying over nothing, Brother Qi, you should calm your heart down and think about the upcoming competition. That's what you should be doing right now."
"Uh, alright then. We'll talk about this after the competition." Qi Wenhan's attention was immediately diverted. No matter how dangerous the challenge of the leader of the escort agency was, it was something to worry about later. The most important thing now was to think about how to deal with the competition.
Putting aside the controversial additional challenge, the fifth round of the escort agency tournament was the highlight of the entire South Continent's escort agency festival. Not only did it determine the rankings, but it also showcased the true strength of each agency in this round of competition.
"Five against five. The rules are basically the same as the first round's escort robbery, but there's one less escort and a different scoring system." Qi Wenhan quickly got into the zone and analyzed.
"That's right. Although there's also a time limit of one incense stick, it doesn't count into points. Between the two escort agencies, the one with the most survivors will be the winner, and the winner will take 100 points from the loser. It doesn't seem like a big difference at first glance, but in terms of specific strategies, it's actually completely different. We'll have to make some adjustments." Lin Yi nodded.
"That's right. Brother Ling, you're an expert in this field. I'll listen to whatever you say! "Qi Wenhan hurriedly asked humbly.
"How am I an expert in this field? I was just lucky. " Lin Yi broke into laughter. He had only been acting as an on-the-spot coach on the spur of the moment, but now he was being treated as an expert …
"Brother Ling, you don't have to be so humble. The battle results are right there, and this is irrefutable evidence. No matter how humble you are, it's useless. Everyone can see it for themselves. Am I right? "Qi Wenhan shouted at the escorts beside him.
"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison. They couldn't help but be impressed. Lin Yi's on-the-spot guidance in the first round of robbing the escorts was indeed very effective, and the results could not be said to be bad. Especially when Qi Wenhan, the young master, supervised the escort guarding battle. When the two were put side by side, it was obvious who was superior.
To the crowd, this wasn't just a mere compliment. It was something that would benefit them greatly. Based on their performance in the first round of robbing, if Lin Yi had been in command, they would have been able to survive. However, if Qi Wenhan, the young master, had been in command … But at least half of them would die.
The difference between coming and going was huge. For these participating escorts, it could be the difference between life and death!
"Heh … Alright, alright, alright!" Faced with everyone's expectant and excited gazes, Lin Yi had no choice but to surrender and agree, "I will do my best to give advice and suggestions for everyone. That should be fine, right? "
The escorts instantly cheered, attracting the attention of the bystanders. They all looked at each other. These people from the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency must have taken the wrong medicine. The battle hadn't even started, and they were already celebrating in advance?
"Brother Ling, quickly tell us, how should we deal with this escort agency competition?" Qi Wenhan asked impatiently.
"There are two aspects. The on-the-spot battle is one aspect, and the planning outside the arena is the other. From a certain perspective, the latter may be more important than the former, because the former is only a tactic, while the latter is a strategy." Lin Yi immediately stopped trying to shirk his responsibility, and analyzed the situation for the crowd.
The crowd listened and looked at each other. Some nodded as if they understood, while others were completely confused. They had no idea what Lin Yi was talking about.
"What Brother Ling means is that the most important thing is to make good use of the two opportunities to challenge and be challenged?" Qi Wenhan understood immediately.
"That's right. The planning outside the arena determines the overall situation. If we can make good use of these four opportunities, we can achieve twice the results with half the effort and take the initiative. Otherwise, it will be troublesome," Lin Yi nodded.
The crowd finally understood. The rules of the escort agency competition only stated that each agency had two opportunities to challenge and two opportunities to be challenged. However, there were no restrictions on who would issue the challenge first or who would issue the challenge first. In other words, it was up to each agency to decide.
In this case, the waters were getting deeper and deeper. For the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, there was nothing much to be said about the right to be challenged twice. They could only accept the challenge passively and did not have much of a choice. However, as for how to use the right to challenge twice, they would have to plan carefully.
"Who do we challenge? When do we issue the challenge? "Qi Wenhan immediately grasped the crux of the problem.
"That's right. As long as we can handle these two key issues, everything else will naturally be solved," Lin Yi praised.
Qi Wenhan could not help but fall into deep thought. These two issues did not seem difficult. If he followed his train of thought, there would only be two strategies – one conservative and one radical.
If they were more conservative, they would naturally be picking on the weaker ones. As long as they challenged the weaker escort agencies, their Heaven's Equal Escort Agency's strength would be enough to guarantee them two victories. As for the remaining two chances of being challenged, they only needed to give it their all and fight as many battles as they could.
In this way, with the first two victories, even if he lost the next two rounds, he could at least guarantee that he would not lose any points in this round of the escort agency competition.
Due to the huge advantage accumulated in the first four rounds, even if the second place Divine Wind Escort Agency won all four rounds, they would at most obtain 670 points, which was just enough to tie with the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. In other words, the worst result after the five rounds was to tie with the Divine Wind Escort Agency for first place, which was nothing unacceptable.
This was the most conservative strategy. Apart from this, there was another more radical strategy, which was to not challenge the smaller agencies. Instead, they would directly challenge the prestigious agencies that could pose a threat to them. For example, if the second place Divine Wind Escort Agency won, then they would be able to take first place without any suspense.
Of course, everything had its pros and cons. If they failed, then they would have to bear the risk of being overtaken by the prestigious agencies. Not only would they not be able to maintain first place, but they might not even be able to maintain second or third place. Floating Astronomy.
