Chapter 54: The Broken Knight

The guy nicknamed "Broken Knight" by Olaf straightened his spear, the brown mare shook his head and slowly accelerated, and the Golden Knight rode a tall horse, the two of them had different sizes of mounts, but the height difference made up for the height difference in the shooting position.

The two sprinted, and the Golden Knight's shot was right at the throat of the "Tattered Knight", where there was no throat armor.

"He's trying to kill him!" exclaimed Philip, "one blow kills." ”

Before the spear stabbed, the "tattered knight" used the stirrup to control the mare to slightly offset the direction of progress, and adjusted his posture in an instant, the opponent's spear grazed his oak shield, and his spear found the gap between the golden knight's shield and stabbed the golden knight in the abdomen, fortunately the other party had plate armor, and it was a blunt weapon, the golden knight lost his balance on the horse, and because the plate armor was too heavy, it was difficult to adjust his posture, like a wooden man wearing steel, clang, and fell to the ground.

"That's what happens with one hit. Olaf whistled and held out his hand, and Dio said whimsically: "That's luck, I'm willing to bet he won't make it to the championship." ”

Vincent von LΓΌbeck smiled silently, and when he took Philip's sack from the prize pool, the master craftsman blew his beard and glared.

The next few promotion matches are also quite exciting, but from the overall situation, the well-equipped golden knights are slightly rough in technology, but they are better than the thick plate armor, so they are more durable when they compete with swords on the ground, and the traditional knights of the Meno Province are experienced, and often when they compete with guns on horses, they can have the upper hand, the imperial royal knights are not as powerful as the emperor boasts, and the worst is the wandering knights, except for those who are skilled, many of them have been eliminated.

The "Broken Knight" became the focus of many people's attention, and in the second round, he played against the traditional knights of the province of Meno, and he did not change horses, in fact, he did not have to change horses. But the horse seemed to be well acquainted with him, and under his control, the speed of the horse's progress was well controlled, and he used his shield to block his opponent's spear, which was so thick that his opponent's spear burst. The two sides turned, and while the other was sprinting, he urged the horses to speed up, avoiding the collision of the horses, and the shields of both sides collided together, and the "tattered knight" was obviously prepared, and the thick oak shield smashed the opponent's small round shield, and pushed the other off the horse, causing everyone to laugh.

"It's called a spear game, it's like children pushing each other with shields!" His Majesty the Emperor grabbed a glass of white wine and put it to his mouth, "I was much more powerful than this." Win streak several. ”

Sebastian remembered the jousting contest of the Emperor's youth, during the conversation in the Empress's Imperial Garden. The emperor of his youth was heroic, and now, drunk, irritable, conceited, and occasionally flashes of sobriety, made Sebastian wonder if he was pretending to be drunk. Did the Thunder Throne change him, or did he reveal his true nature as an adult?Sebastian smiled wryly.

Another knight caught the attention of the spectators when he appeared in the second half of the promotion match, wearing a plate armor made of fine steel, with a large throat guard made of chain mail revealing underneath, and the shape of the visor, which was extremely intricate, with wings on both sides. His entire body armor was painted red, which was particularly eye-catching.

As soon as the Red Knight appeared, he attracted the cheers of the audience, especially the noble ladies, no one knew the face behind the face armor, and the exaggerated color of the plate armor was enough to make people think that he was extraordinary.

"Oh my God, such an exaggerated color, I dare to say that you can use it. Olaf whispered to Sebastian, "It's useless, it's a live target on the battlefield, and everyone knows he's the commander." ”

Sebastian ignored Olaf's complaints and asked, "Who do you think will make it to the final?" ”

The Red Knight's horse was covered in chain mail, and as soon as he kicked the spur, his mount snorted and began to sprint slowly, faster and faster. The opponent was a golden knight in full plate armor, holding a round shield, the red knight used his shield to block the spear stabbed by the opponent, and a shot stabbed the golden knight's breastplate, the spear burst, the golden knight staggered, his body was crooked, hanging upside down on the stirrups, and he was dragged out by his own horse for a long distance.

"The potential is good. I feel like it's time for me to bet on the championship schedule. Parker Bloom winked at Olaf, "To play or not to play?"

Olaf bet on "Rag Knight" twice and made a lot of money. He stroked his shaved chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Play." I continued to press my baby knight. ”

The championship match is contested by the winner of the qualifier and the final two are determined one-on-one for the championship.

The "Rag Knight" reappears, colliding with the traditional knight from Meno and falling to the ground. Neither knight showed weakness, and both stood up and drew their blunt swords. Only then did Sebastian see that the "Rag Knight" was tall, almost a head taller than the traditional knight in the province of Menor. Swords and swords sparked, the "tattered knight" flashed a blow from the other party, his wrist turned, the blunt sword sank vigorously, and smashed firmly on the opponent's pot helmet, the other party staggered, supporting himself with a sword, the "tattered knight" strode over, carried the other party on his shoulder, and smashed it to the ground, aimed the tip of the sword at the opponent's throat armor, and pressed his knee against the opponent's chest.

"Awesome, my darling!" said Olaf, his eyebrows fluttering, and he whistled as if to a girl who was dancing charmingly.

Philip sighed helplessly and spread his hands: "It's just a waste, what Mayno's knightly skills are superb and deceitful." He obediently threw the bag to Olaf and looked at Schumacher von Vogt wistfully.

"Oh, don't look at me, sir, I didn't train those knights. Schumacher added fuel to the fire, "I am willing to gamble and lose, but fortunately I am shy in my pocket, and I can't afford to play." ”

"Where has Count Karen gone? If he is here, the morale of the knights in the province of Meno will be much higher. Fred Mann looked around, and the nerd realized that there was no one in the lord, and he narrowed his eyes, giving the impression that he was very short-sighted.

Schumacher touched his nose and replied, "Count Karen has a busy schedule. There has been no peace in the province lately, and the rebels have been clamoring so loudly that some of them want to overthrow the Count's rule. ”

"Oh, that's unfortunate. Young people can't hold down those old people. Those big and small families won't buy it. Bill Newton walked over and exchanged glances with Sebastian, "I'm here too, I'm betting on the 'Red Knights' to win the next game." ”

The Red Knight was not lucky in this game, the opponent was a royal knight, and the equipment was no worse than him, and the two hedged for 3 rounds, broke 6 spears, and still sat firmly on the horse.

"Damn it!," His Majesty the Emperor hiccuped and shouted, "Pierce his throat armor, pierce his shield!"

"The Emperor is cheering for the royal knights. Bill shrugged, "He looked, it seemed like it was about ...... Royal Honor. ”

The Red Knight attacked again, the spear pierced into the opponent's breastplate, bursting from the tip of the spear, and the opponent's spear pierced the Red Knight's throat armor, and His Majesty the Emperor screamed in surprise and stood up. The red knight turned backwards, dodged his spear, lost his center of gravity, and fell off his horse.

The royal knight took the blunt sword and strode forward, the red knight waved his hand, and the two squires walked with a huge two-handed sword, attracting exclamations from the audience. The red knight picked up the two-handed sword, and with a swing of the sword, the royal knight just stabbed straight forward, and the blunt sword was smashed out, and the two-handed sword smashed on the royal knight's helmet by inertia, and the impact was heard even by Sebastian in the stands. The royal knight sat on the ground, his helmet deformed, he raised his hand in surrender, but he could not get his helmet, so he had to be supported and swayed to find the blacksmith.

"Hahahaha! Well done!" His Majesty the Emperor raised his glass to the Red Knight and drained it.

The ministers looked at each other. Bill patted his big belly and said, "It seems that Your Majesty is also optimistic about the Red Knight." ”

"If that giant sword had been smashed on the chain mail, I'm afraid the other party would have been smashed to the point that his head would have bled out. Philip, the master craftsman, praised, "That body is so strong, it's like a cow." ”

Soon the two knights, who were favored by the audience, met in the final. The "Broken Knights" have the same record as the Red Knights, both with 4 consecutive wins. Their respective opponents were the Royal Knight and the Knight of Menot.

"I don't think it's fair. Everyone should be given the same set of chain mail, and the psychological impact of different protective equipment on the knights is different. The nerdy Minister of Justice took a bunch of grapes and made a "high statement": "The knight competition should focus on combat skills, not equipment." Plate armor has much higher protection. It's not fair to the wandering knights. ”

"Yes, then you should quickly revise the rules of the competition, and then issue some kind of breaking law, saying that all participating knights must buy the designated chain mail of the competition, at their own expense. Krauser immediately retorted, "The treasury doesn't have that much money to buy equipment for free." Oh my God, this time the prize money for the champion is 1 million Reichsmarks, Your Majesty is not joking, is he? The budget has quadrupled. ”

"The 100 years of the empire, the glorious 100 years, the 100 years of glory, 1 million, the number is auspicious, it is of great significance. Olaf spoke like a drunken Majesty, "Debt is a fart compared to this extraordinary significance." ”

Krauser looked pitifully at Olaf, and then at His Majesty the Emperor, who was in high spirits.

"I bet that when your words reach His Majesty's ears, he will add another sentence when he retorts you: What is the use of you as an accountant and cashier? Olaf's words made everyone laugh, but Krauser blushed.

Parker Bloom said wistfully, "Don't mention it, my Golden Knights are all gone, and they are all taken prisoner. Damn, I lost so much money, Olaf, you should have a treat. Equip yourself for a fart. Look at that 'tattered knight', so poor that he didn't even have to change his horse. ”

The finals began.
