After Levine heard this, he immediately pushed Jeb in front of him.
When Jeb actually walked in front of Gilbert, he immediately felt the child's aura from his eyes.
Involuntary movements also became flinching. He opened his mouth, but couldn't squeeze out a word.
It wasn't until Levin pinched his lower back that he asked in a panic, "I think you run very fast, and I can run too. Shall we compare?"
After saying the request, after a while, he added urgently: "I'm just asking, not asking you to agree."
"Okay." Gilbert nodded in agreement.
"Really?" Jeb widened his eyes and said happily, "Thank you."
After hearing his thanks, Gilbert shook his head and said, "However, if you lose, you have to give me your dinner."
He didn't want to have a makeshift dinner with Austiner for a long time.
"Huh?" Jeb was slightly surprised: "Today's dinner, or every day in the future?"
"Every day," Gilbert said simply.
"Gilbert." Austin stopped him aloud. Does this kid really want to steal someone else's dinner
"It's fine if you don't agree." Gilbert looked away and said.
Now Abel is already recruiting a team and has ordered everyone to get ready to go. Gilbert had to go back to his place, too.
"Okay, I promise you." Jeb shook his head at Austin and replied.
"Okay. Just before the meal." Gilbert turned around and walked forward without waiting for the other party's response.
"He's not very sensible yet," Austin hurriedly explained, but Jeb interrupted him halfway through. "Since we have made an agreement, we have to afford to lose. What's more, I don't necessarily lose." Jeb said with a smile. After saying this, he followed Levin back to the back row of the team.
Austin stayed on the spot alone, stunned for a while, and finally supported his forehead, sighing unceasingly.
News of Gilbert's match against Jeb quickly spread through the marching ranks.
Even DeWitt and Claremont, who were holding the battle, heard the news from the chatter of the soldiers.
"I didn't expect Gilbert to agree to such a request," DeWitt said.
"It's good to have such activities from time to time. It enlivens the atmosphere in the army, and it's fun for us to watch." Claremont said with a smile.
"You just want to watch the excitement." DeWitt said with a smile.
"I still have a serious purpose, by the way, to see how strong this goblin is." Clement added.
"This shows the strength. Whoever has the fastest footwork will win." DeWitt shook his head and said.
"This is not necessarily the case, although goblins are inherently faster than humans. However, we are soldiers who have joined the army for a year, and our strength is already much higher than ordinary people. If goblins can barely win , I will admit it. If he can pull a lot of opponents away with his body, I don't think ordinary goblins still have this ability." Claremont analyzed in detail.
"Well, it does make sense for you to say that." DeWitt nodded and said, "So far, apart from observing the terrain, Gilbert doesn't seem to have shown anything in front of us."
"Do you think this game is a bit worth watching now?" Claremont smiled at DeWitt.
"Got to see it," DeWitt said.
Under the expectation of everyone, the schedule of the march was finally over. Except for those who were assigned to set up tents, all the other soldiers gathered near the venue chosen by Gilbert and Jeb.
Get ready to watch this showdown.
The site was a flat yellow land, and the starting position where Jeb and the others stood was about 500 meters away from the jungle that was set as the finish point.
"Not much to say, so many people came to watch our competition, so we won't waste everyone's time by talking nonsense." Jeb stood on his track and presided over it.
Levine stood a little bit between the two of them.
"I said three, two, one. The game will officially begin." Levine said holding the flag.
Jeb and Gilbert nodded sideways to him. Before making preparations, Jeb glanced at Gilbert on the right and found that his expression was calmer than usual.
"I can't let you underestimate me." Jeb thought silently in his heart.
"Three!" Levin waved the flag towards the sky.
"two!"
"one!"
When Jeb and Gilbert rushed out, the distance between their shoulders was only a few millimeters.
However, in the blink of an eye, Gilbert was far away from Jeb.
Although Jeb was chasing desperately behind him, he still didn't shrink back an inch.
Ultimately, the race ended in a crushing victory for Gilbert, who pounced on a waiting Austiner as he crossed the finish line.
"Ouch." Austin yelled.
"I won." Gilbert's face was still relatively red. After all, this is a plateau, and sometimes he can't breathe when running.
"Congratulations." Austin said with a smile.
"Eat more tonight." Gilbert still concealed a part of his childishness, and said to Austin with a little pride at this time.
"So you're here for this." Austin suddenly realized.
After Jeb crossed the finish line, he silently walked to Gilbert's side, and sighed, "I'd like to accept the bet, and I'll give you all my future dinners."
"Forget it. Our army isn't so poor that we can't even provide dinner for one person." A word came from afar, and Jeb looked up in trepidation, watching DeWitt and his party walk away with a smile on their faces. come over.
"I'm sorry, Gilbert. I forgot to arrange for you before." Claremont said. "Let's choose a smaller bet in the future. If he keeps silent, he will starve to death like this, and our loss will be great."
Gilbert glanced at the three and nodded.
"It's gone. Hurry up to help. Do you want to eat early?" Abel said to the soldiers onlookers.
The soldiers who wanted to come over rushed away, and Levin also hurried over to take the colorless Jebra away.
"I didn't expect you to beat Jeb. He is one of the better runners in our army." DeWitt praised.
"It's nothing, there are countless people of the same race who are faster than me." Gilbert said calmly.
"It seems that we still know too little about the goblins. Sure enough, the racial advantage brought by talent cannot be underestimated." Abel sighed.
"If you want to understand the goblins, you can learn from me." Gilbert sneered.
DeWitt stared at him.
