15. Competitive Combat
"Hey, boy! Your name is Threstin? Remember me? I was in a group with you the day before yesterday. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the preparation room, a tall giant axe warrior greeted me.
This bald uncle is called-oh! That's right, it's called Baku.
"Okay," I smiled at him kindly, "we're in another group." β
"After this time, it's a solo battle, and today's game uses a real sword! - Be careful not to die! β
"You crow's mouth," I replied unceremoniously, "you are much taller than I am, and I will use you as a shield!" β
"Haha......" Baku smiled heartily as he turned his head to look at the special stands not far away, "Is that girl your wife?" It's so beautiful! β
"Hey, sort of?" Seeing Rusya waving at me, I raised my sword in response.
"I'm so envious - did I come here to save money to marry her?"
"Thisβ" I scratched my head, "no, I was looking for a chance to meet the lord." β
"It can't be that you two eloped out to ask the lord for protection, right? Haha-ah! It's time to start, I'll go first! Baku laughed and led the game.
I picked up the epee next to me, and (after a few days of practice, I was able to get used to it) followed the team into the field.
Funny guys,
Looking at Baku, who was at least two heads taller than the others in front, I thought to myself.
Although we are teammates now, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not become opponents when we enter a solo battle, so in order not to get mixed up in future battles, we usually don't talk to our current teammates. He's bold. However, looking at the scars on his bare upper body, thinking back to the group stage the day before yesterday, he was indeed a strong partner with full practical experience.
The entrance door on the opposite side has not yet opened, and the surrounding stands are noisy.
Our group consisted of thirty people, and the temporary commander was Yushev, a heavy soldier with battlefield experience.
Why haven't you started yet?
Just as we were wondering, the door on the opposite side opened, and out of it was the cavalry?
I saw a cavalry of about the same number as us slowly lining up in front, and the arena host slowly walked between our two teams.
"Hey...... the swordsman beside me wondered, "how can there be cavalry?" Didn't you say good infantry warfare? β
"Trouble," someone said, "Could it be a mistake?" β
The same number of infantry against cavalry......
"Shhhh
The commotion of the ranks fell silent.
The host's words were very simple, this group of cavalry was a fallen knight clan who attacked the caravan with the banner of Kesir City a while ago, and they should have been executed immediately, considering that their ancestors were all knights who had made meritorious deeds, so they were given a chance, and if they won this game, they could be acquitted.
- Actually, to put it bluntly, I just want to emphasize in front of so many people that the rules and regulations of the city of Kesir are inviolable.
"Did you hear me? When I walked out of the field, the floodgates closed and it officially began! With that, the host began to leave.
"Has anyone ever fought in the army?" Yushef asked nervously.
A few people replied.
"Let's use our shields to form a tortoiseshell formation, just block the cavalry's charge, and then pull them off our horses......" Yushef raised his shield, "come, before it starts, come over, and those who don't have shields will help hold them off behind!" β
Is he stupid? There are only 30 of us in total, how much power can we have together?
"Impossible!" I shouted, "We're too small! Can't resist the first charge! β
"It's okay, that's how I used to deal with cavalry in the army!" Yushef was a little annoyed by my objections.
It should be a matter of age, right? Most of them gathered at his command. But there were a few people who looked at me.
Knowing that it would be useless to try to persuade me, I shook my head and sighed.
"What would you do if it were you?" Baku leaned in and asked.
"Me? Of course, they are blessed, there are only thirty of them, and there will be no loopholes in the formation for the first time, they are all fallen knights, since they can be caught, it is estimated that the experience and technology are poor, dodge the frontal cavalry assault, and then find opportunities to break each one, and ......" I lowered my voice, "The idiots in front who don't listen to me are ready to act as a tripline"
"Ha......" Baku laughed, "we listen to you, we're not idiots." Remember to remind me of the timing of the attack~" A few people standing next to me also nodded.
As he spoke, the heavily armored cavalry in front of him began to speed up.
"It doesn't matter if you're an idiot or not, don't die!" I clenched my sword tightly.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the cavalry that was speeding up in formation had already laid down their cavalry guns flat.
"Everyone-ready--" Yushef shouted from the front, "here we are!" Resist! β
As I said, the tortoiseshell formation in front of it could not withstand the onslaught of the cavalry at all, and it was torn open at the moment of contact, but the middle of the cavalry team slowed down slightly because of this.
"Opportunity! Baku! Up! I shouted as I rushed forward, grabbed the stabbing spear with my left hand, leaped over the horse's head with the help of force, and at the same time swept out of my chest with my sword in my right hand, and cut the neck of the knight in front of me, "One! I didn't have time to take a closer look after I landed, so I rushed to the left front and shouted, "Dodge diagonally!" Beware of throwing guns! β
After the first wave of cavalry charges, in order to avoid being attacked when adjusting the direction of the horses, they usually throw their cavalry guns as throwing spears in preparation for the second charge after changing their sabers.
Although they are inexperienced fallen knights, they should not be unclear about the basic tactics.
Sure enough, a riding gun flew past my ear. I immediately turned around and prepared for the second wave.
Directly across from the turn, a knight rushed towards me with his saber raised.
It seems that this guy has good horsemanship, and he has already begun to accelerate his charge while the other horsemen are still turning their horses' heads.
However, he was also left alone - and the opportunity came.
I calmly clutched my sword in both hands, waiting for him to rush in front of me.
As long as I don't get hit by his horse, then he will slash me with his saber, originally the knight in order to maintain balance on the horse and reduce the dead angle of the attack, the moment the right hand swings the saber, the body will tilt to the left, however, this must ensure that his prey is in the place where the saber can be chopped, as long as I move to his right as much as possible at the moment when he has no time to adjust the direction of the horse, he will definitely lean out to the right in order to cut me, at this time his arm is his weakest point, as long as he aims at his shoulder and erects his sword-
He's closer to me.
It's not enough, now he can adjust his direction in time.
Closer, closer, good! Now is the time! I rushed to the side with a thrust of my feet, and at the same time raised my sword in the air with both hands - "Boy danger! Suddenly, I heard a shout from Baku, and the cavalryman and horse were cut in half by Baku's axe.
ββ¦β¦β
"What are you doing? - Ahh Baku noticed my raised sword and immediately understood, "It seems that I have something to do!" "With both hands, the axe returned to the wheel and cut off another one.
"Now I realized that the two-handed axe is such a good thing!" I wiped away the blood that had just been splattered, ran behind Baku, and helped him cut off the spear that was stabbing him, "Since you like to do things, uncle, then be my shield!" β
"--You like to be eventful, too! Now what? β
I looked around, and after two charges, the cavalry with a clear difference in level were now galloping on their own. "Do you need to say anything? Let's win the horse! Avenge those caravans! "I scurried behind a horseman who was turning his horse's head and pierced his armor with a sword.
"Avenge the caravan? Is there anyone you know? "Baku picked up a corpse with an axe, swept it out like a cannonballβright in the middle of it!
"No~ But maybe they're selling the best wine? Even if it's revenge for the wine. I rolled over my horse and charged at the nearest cavalry, "What a strong arm!" You monster! β
"You can dance the epee at a young age, and it's not bad! ββWho is your teacher? β
"You don't know!" I approached the knight from behind, and he was startled at my appearance, and hurriedly raised his saber.
ββ¦β¦ Do you cut the man on the left with the saber of your right hand? I frowned and said to him, "There must be a limit to idiots......," and I smashed his helmet with the hilt of my sword while he was stunned, and the knight fell off his horse screaming.
"Thank you idiot, I don't even bother to kill you." I added.
It can't be called a game anymore.
The lone knight basically couldn't escape the fate of being killed, and many of my teammates also chased the knight after grabbing the horse.
Soon, the battle ended.
Riding on my horse, I counted the number of people, and we suffered twelve casualties, most of them from the first two charges, and the one Yushev was trampled directly into a pulp - the enemy was completely destroyed.
The record is still good.
The Baku approached me with a smile and raised his hand at the same time.
Nine? What a monster! I raised three fingers at him.
I'm sorry, I'm only three.
"Hey, everybody's looking at you." Baku walked up to the front and said.
"See what I'm doing?" I wonder.
"Declare victory!"
"Should I announce it? You've killed nine of them alone! -- It's up to you to come. β
"I'm just killing a lot, and the main thing is that you command correctly. Okay, don't shirk it, no one declares that the battle is over, how long do you want everyone to wait? β
"Uh...... All right. I raised my sword in accordance with the rules of the arena and shouted to the spectators, "Oh! β
The surrounding audience boiled.
"And add this!" Baku slapped my mount sharply, "Give me a circumnavigation!" Let your wife see the heroes she has chosen! β
Damn uncle! Is it fun to play me?
