Chapter 66: Scuffle

Each participating knight was assigned a number plate, a total of ten rings, and the knights had to play a knockout round on it.

When it was time for William, he went up and set up the driving, and he solved the enemy in front of him by dividing five by two, and such a level of miscellaneous fish could not let him show all his strength.

In four days, William participated in four knockout matches, and there were only more than 250 left of the more than 4,000 knights, and because he solved his opponents cleanly in every game, he attracted a lot of attention among the knights.

The elite of the two hundred and fifty knights, the champion, competed among these two hundred and fifty people.

The first round consisted of a melee of fifty men divided into five teams, each against ten, and William was fortunate to be assigned to the cavalry of only two on each side.

William was dressed in the equipment used for the game, this kind of armor was very thick, not complete iron armor, but two layers of cotton armor inside a layer of chain mail, just to reduce the damage received and avoid fatal injuries.

The helmet was also padded with several layers of soft linen cloth to cushion the knight's head.

As for the cavalry spear in his hand, it was longer than the cavalry spear in battle, but the length was similar to that used by the Manders knights, only four meters.

At the front end of the cavalry lance wrapped a thick layer of linen, this kind of cavalry spear is specially prepared for the athletic conference, on the barrel of the cavalry lance is drawn four long lines, along this hollowed out a lot, the innermost only a little layer of solid wood remains, such a cavalry lance stabbed on the knight wearing special armor, can not cause much damage.

At most, it is to dismount the other party, and not to take the high risk as in the Middle Ages in Western Europe.

However, in this way, it becomes much more difficult to determine the winner or loser, so it is stipulated that as long as the horse falls in the melee, it will be decided out.

William rode on the competitive horse, looking at his teammates gathered around him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and ambition in his heart.

With the referee's order, the knights began to move, but William did not, and he shouted, "Don't move yet!" Let's not move! ”

William's status as a baron and his skills make him very vocal among his teammates, and William's wise tomorrow has begun to spread a little, so his knight teammates obeyed William's will and huddled in place without moving.

And the others had already fallen into a melee, fighting in chaos with wooden swords and shields, and in just a few tens of seconds, nearly ten people were out.

The knights on horseback lost their impact after the first charge, and were either pulled off their horses or caught up in the crowd, turning into an embarrassing situation where they could not move people.

At this moment, William had already been noticed, and William beckoned to another knight in the group who was on a warhorse.

The two glanced at each other, understood what William meant, and the two charged together.

William took a clever trick and did not play the role of heavy cavalry, but harassed the melee like light cavalry, and the cavalry spears in the hands of each of them sent one out of the game, but because there was no obstruction in front of him, he did not lose the speed of his horse.

At this time, several more people fell or went out of the scuffle, and William and his teammates on horseback drew their wooden swords, still harassing on the edge, and even if there were lucky horsemen who rushed out of the crowd, they were also dealt with by the two of them.

At this time, except for William's team, there are basically only five or six people left in each team, as long as they continue to fight, William's side will win the situation.

"Huh? What are they doing? I see, it's very smart! King Brolin watched the scuffle below from the high platform, and William's unattended team caught his attention.

One of the courtiers beside King Brolin frowned when he saw the king looking at them and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to eliminate them directly, this is simply a coward's behavior!" They don't deserve to be a knight at all! ”

The courtier bowed and was about to deal with the matter, but King Brolin stopped him: "Do you think that the mere bravery of a knight is enough?" No, wise minds are needed! Without a mind, force alone can't do it, just like my brave and invincible brother, isn't it? King Brolin said, a meaningful smile leaking out.

The courtier's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, your reckless and ignorant brother only knows how to solve problems by force, unlike you, Your Majesty, who is wise and brave at the same time, merciful and just at the same time!" ”

"Well, I really don't know who made that team stay where it was, this guy is good!" King Brolin clasped his hands together and muttered to himself.

"That's your majesty, I heard from the people below that there is a very wise baron on the side of Denlenburg, and his strength is also very strong, and he has defeated the other party very easily from the beginning to the present, and he is down there first, I think it may be him!" The courtier thought for a moment, then said.

"Oh? What's his name? King Brolin asked with interest.

"It seems to be called...... It seems to be called William, I remember it was! The courtier said with some uncertainty.

"The ...... of Denlenburg Count of Loire, do you have a vassal named William? King Brolin asked like an earl with a few people in the middle.

"Ah, yes Your Majesty, he is a very wise young man, some time ago my territory was invaded by the Chekers, and I did not receive assistance from the kingdom, but it is thanks to him that we turned the tide, burned the enemy's grain and grass, raided the enemy's camp, and contributed me a very well-thought-out plan, and we won!" The Count said proudly.

"I'm sorry for the Cheker invasion, you know the kingdom was in danger at that time!"

"Don't feel guilty Your Majesty, I'm not old and confused, the king at that time was indeed very dangerous, and it was very reasonable not to have the ability to rescue, and I didn't have the slightest resentment towards the royal family because of this incident!" The Count sat down in his chair, bowed, and said.

"Thank you very much for your understanding, but this Baron William is really smart, where did he come from?" King Brolin asked with some curiosity after hearing William's deeds.

"At first it was rumored that he was the second son of a baron, but I didn't believe it, you know, a nobleman of that rank would be surprised to see my castle for the first time, but he didn't, not even the slightest bit moved, this must be a sign that only after seeing a bigger and better castle, so I speculate that his status may be quite noble!" The Count sat down beside the king and whispered in a whisper.

At this time, the battle had been going on for several minutes, and when the melee was about to end, someone finally noticed the Williams, who had not participated in the battle.

But what's the use of noticing? The team with the most surviving players now has only five players, and there is not much threat to William's team.

However, what William didn't expect was that the knights in the melee actually stopped fighting amid the shouts of the team members, and they all looked at the unscathed William team.

In the next second, they formed an alliance, and there were more than twenty people together, and they walked towards William's team members with a fierce attitude.

William's face suddenly froze, he didn't expect this strategy to be so hateful, and the other knights actually gave up the melee and chose to jointly besiege them.

"Haha! Interestingly, he miscalculated! King Brolin looked at the situation on the field and smiled.

The knights were also a little flustered, after all, in the face of more than 20 equal enemy attacks, this is not a light infantry that can be slaughtered at will, and the collision casualties between knights and knights are often very huge.

But the matter has come to this point, the loser does not lose the battle, even if they are flustered in their hearts, they must continue the battle, and they cannot give up until they lose.

The two sides finally collided again, and the knights on William's side cooperated very tacitly, so in the face of the siege of more than 20 people, they were not too far behind.

As for William and his teammates on horseback, they continued to harass the surroundings, occasionally killing one of them, and running away after the fight, which really made the hostile knights hate.

In the end, all the knights on the ground on William's side were wiped out, while the two knights on the horse were unscathed, grinding the remaining seven or eight enemies alive and winning the victory.

And their teammates, who should be regarded as stained, have also qualified for the next round of competitions.

As for Urimu, he was eliminated in their game, and Norwen successfully entered the next round.
