stand-in creed

Abdel was startled.

Jonny, who was behind Abdel, was also shocked.

"Ni, Nero, you actually knocked Abdel away!

"I didn't hit it with a horse, but I used my elbow to attack the tall body of the camel at the moment the camel hit it, and knocked Abdel away! The [-]-kilogram camel was knocked away by human strength alone. It was knocked open!"

"Humph——!!!"

Abdel's camel screamed in pain and staggered, but fortunately Nero didn't strike too hard, and the camel was not knocked down on the spot.After falling behind Nero by three positions due to staggering footsteps, the camel returned to the right track under Abdel's exquisite control and galloped again.

Rank changes.

The leader became Nero Qi... Suzumi Sugimoto!

Nero was second, followed by Ulmud Abdel in third, and Gero Zibelin, who was knocked away by Abdel, was fourth.

But even so, Gero was still smiling.

"... As I said, I want everything except diseases!

"Although it is a good experience to meet people from the same country in this foreign country, and everyone's surname is Qi Beilin, which makes me feel very kind, but this does not mean that I will show mercy to you."

When Abdel crashed into Gero, Gero did not do nothing.

An iron ball in the holster on his waist was thrown forward by him at that moment, and it fell far on a rock and began to rotate at a high speed, setting off a gust of wind and sand.Accompanied by the sunlight, the blown sand actually reflects the scenery of cactus.

In other words-

Mini mirage.

Here is a forest full of rocks and cacti. Jie Luo plans to use the mini mirage to make Nero and Abdel misjudge the road conditions, crash into a real cactus bush or hit a tree, and retire on the spot.

That's Jello's plan.

However, at this moment, Gero suddenly met Nero's thoughtful gaze.

"You guys seem to have some kind of "technique", Zero. "

"...?!"

Found out?

Gero was startled.

But even so, Gero noticed that Nero's horse seemed to be about to change course, which reassured Gero.

"Other Zeppelin, you seem to have noticed the rotation of the iron ball.

"But unfortunately your horse didn't realize the problem. It has been misled by my iron ball! In order to avoid being pierced by the cactus, it will run in the wrong direction! As a "novice" you really Is there a way to correctly orient the horse in this complex environment?

"You're already out... what?!"

Gero saw it.

Something like a bubble appeared on Nero's fingertips and began to spin at a high speed, bursting into bright golden light and whizzing away.

Jello was taken aback for a moment.

"That's the "trick" he used in the duel with that German guy!

"And that "golden" water knife could be... turning around? "

Under Jie Luo's shocked eyes.

The golden cutting knife that came out of the air landed on the iron ball, and instantly twisted the rotating iron ball into a ball of weird scrap iron, which was scattered on the ground in pieces.

The mirage dissipated.

Claudius, who was shining under the sun, seemed to be tireless, and galloped forward, riding away.

Chapter 15 1st Stage Part [-]

Group 4⑧87④97⑨9

Gero felt something was wrong.

The way the glittering golden water knife turns is undoubtedly a turn, but the way it turns seems to be a little different from the "golden turn" passed down from generation to generation by the Zeppelin family.The golden spiral passed down from the Gero family is a golden spiral formed by connecting the "central points" of countless squares cut out of the golden rectangle.

Nero's golden maneuver is different.

Nero's golden spiral is a spiral formed by making [-]-degree arcs one after another with the side lengths of these separate squares as the radius, and connecting these arcs together.

"The turning of the water... is this your "weapon"?

"Who the hell are you, Nero Zeppelin?!"

At this moment, Zero's thoughts were drawn away by Nero's skills.

It was also at this time that Jie Luo didn't notice that a small bubble fell silently on a nearby cactus.

"……Hey?"

Jello was taken aback.

Nero in front turned his head, made an inexplicable smile at him, and mouthed a word to him.

——I am small-minded.

"...?!"

Gero was startled.

It was also at this time that Jie Luo finally found out that something was wrong with a cactus on the way he had to pass.

The cactus is expanding.

It swelled up as if it was going to explode.

"—You bastard!!!"

boom!

The cactus exploded.

Thin and dense spikes flew towards Zero and Valkyrie.At this moment, Gero didn't hesitate at all, took out another iron ball, spun it at high speed and pressed it on Valkyrie.

"Bah—!"

The horse's skin is hardening.

The cactus' spikes hit the horse's body, but they couldn't penetrate the horse's body at all, as if they hit a steel plate, and fell to the ground one after another.

On the contrary, Jie Luo himself was unlucky.

There were two iron balls, one was blown up by Nero.In order to keep his Valkyrie, in order to ensure that he would not lose the game because of Valkyrie's berserk state, he had to use the only remaining one on Valkyrie's body for protection, and he could only forcefully Get hit by this cactus attack.

There is no big problem with the body wearing clothes, but the exposed hands and arms have been damaged.

"It hurts, hurts, hurts-!!!"

Gero couldn't help but screamed.

While putting the iron ball back into the holster, enduring the pain, he began to pull out the thorns for himself, while smacking his lips and looking forward to Nero and Abdel.

Just then, Gero heard the hoofbeats of other approaching horses.

Looking back, he found that he was about to be overtaken by others because of the disturbances he had received one after another.

Like Johnny.

But Johnny is definitely not the only one who is about to catch up with Gero.There are several figures around Jonny, such as the guy named FV Schuttrogheim wearing a monocle. Gero remembers this guy, a German guy who lost to Nero in a duel a week ago.

Another example is the cowboy named Mandon Tim, who is also a favorite to win the championship.

But compared to these guys, it was the blond man who was only a horse away from him that made Gero feel in danger.

"Ah."

The young man with "DIO" on the hat let out a chuckle——

Diego Brando.

At the next moment, Diego accelerated to pass by Gero's side, and in a blink of an eye passed Abdel, whose physical strength began to decline and decelerate, and jumped to the third overall pick.In an instant, Gero's pick has dropped to fifth.

"Yo, Jello!"

Johnny bit Zero's back and followed the Zeppelin's footsteps.

At the same time, Nero was still aggressively rushing to the front, still running at full power without slowing down at all.And the talented rider named Diego Brando looked at Nero, who was already ahead of him by "twenty horses", with some disdain.

"Hmph, this self-righteous layman.

"Being able to run such a distance in such a time shows that this guy has been sprinting at "full speed" from the beginning to now, without giving the horse any time to rest and adjust.Not only that, it is not carrying one person, but "two people"!

"Because of the load, that horse will go into fatigue faster than other racehorses!

"If this continues, it won't be long before his horse will be like a human being who sprints 3000 meters in one breath and then falls to the ground, because of lack of energy... huh?!"

Suddenly, Diego's pupils shrank.

Not right.

Diego noticed something was wrong.

"What is the 'footprint' of this horse, and why are they so shallow?

"That guy's horse is a Friesian horse, and it weighs about 650 kilograms for that size. The man on his back is called Nero Zeppelin, right? Look at the muscles, it must weigh at least 100 kilograms, woman Very light, around 40kg.

"But the "depth" of this footprint does not match at all!Too shallow!

"It's as if the horse only carried the man, and the weight of the woman doesn't exist at all——!!!"

Diego didn't understand what was going on at all.

Obviously he could see clearly that there was a man and a woman on the back of the black horse, and the footprints were indeed left by the black horse.

Could it be that there is a problem with my own judgment ability?

Diego was a little dazed.

And there was another thing that made Diego feel more at a loss.

"The horse's breathing... was very steady!

"If the horse has been at full speed from the beginning to the present, it is impossible for the horse's breathing to be so steady! What is going on with that guy! Could it be that he has taken drugs?"

Diego couldn't understand it at all.

Immediately Diego turned his head back, and saw a few people who were only a few horses apart.

Jello.

Abdel.

Jonny.

Stroheim.

……

"Humph."

Diego was a little confused about what happened to Nero.

Seeing that the gap between Nero, who was running all the way, and himself was getting bigger and bigger, Diego suddenly made a surprising move-he gave up his leading position.

Deliberate slowing down.

Deliberately give way.

Deliberately let Jie Luo run ahead of him.

"Ok?"

Gero frowned, a bit confused about what Diego was doing.

But Jonny, a professional player, completely understood Diego's actions.

"Diego ran behind Zero on purpose!

"Use Jie Luo who is in front of me to reduce the impact of the "wind" on the horse, thereby saving the horse's physical strength and preparing for the second half of the effort! "

"So what if you know!" Diego admitted unabashedly, "Although I always feel what the tireless man and woman running at the front are doing, but it won't be long before their horses will die due to physical problems. Significantly reduce the speed, and then it will be enough to pass it in one breath.
