Section 20 Tragedy on the Field

As soon as the swordsmanship competition began, the two of them tried their best to enter the climax, and they fought with all their might.

The Knight Contest selects excellent commanders, and in the future, they will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy bravely, so the contestants have always been armed with real weapons. Because of this, there have been many injuries and occasionally deaths in past events.

Connor was competitive, and the King was even more competitive, and for the sake of their own honor, they even ignored the dangers of the arena and encouraged their children to participate in the tournament, and they still enjoyed it.

In this era of knightly glory, the two elders were so obsessed with honor that it planted the seeds of tragedy for their children.

Bruce was a rough-tempered prince, and he had scolded Cook in public at a banquet last winter. Robit was born in the Duke's Palace, and although he is usually more peaceful, he has a stubborn heart, and for him, the reputation of the Duke's Court is more important than everything.

The sword duel lasted for more than ten minutes, and the tall and strong Bruce was two years older than Robit after all, and the advantage in strength allowed Bruce to take the initiative, plus the many practical skills taught to him by Assel, Bruce quickly gained the upper hand.

Young Robit felt a little weak, and he was always unable to meet Bruce head-on, and every time the long sword collided, Robit would feel a numbness in the palm of his right hand.

The pain in the tiger's mouth made Robit's sword hand tremble slightly, and Robit gritted his teeth and continued to play.

Bruce took advantage of the momentum and struck Robit several steps away with a fierce sword.

Seeing that Robit was powerless, the prince laughed at him and said, "I said Robit, why are you so uninteresting!" You didn't look at Alto, you knew that you couldn't do it and quickly admit defeat, what are you still holding on to here! The people of your First Duke's Palace, one by one, are more cowardly than the other! ”

"What did you say?". Apparently Robitt was irritated by Bruce's words, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

Bruce stopped his attack and replied coldly, "I said that the people of your First Earl's Court are cowards, Alto is like this, you are too, and your father Connor is no exception!" ”

It was the first time Robit had heard someone insult his father like this, and he was furious, pointed at Prince Bruce and said, "Bruce, don't go too far, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you are a prince!" ”

The rough-tempered Bruce let others say this about himself, and he was furious and scolded viciously: "Who do you think you are? Your First Duke's Mansion is a piece of, and your father Connor is just a dog next to my father, and he doesn't dare to go west if he goes east. It's the same with you, the people of your first duke's palace are a bunch of dogs, all pugs raised in our palace. ”

No one can be bullied, no knight can be humiliated, and this Bruce, who is used to enjoying the life of the palace, will never understand this truth. Not only him, but even all the nobles of the kingdom could understand this truth, they thought that power could overwhelm everything.

Robit has dignity of his own, but he can give it up if it is for the First Duke's Palace. But Robit would never forgive him for insulting the entire ducal palace, even if the king himself came.

Then the situation changed in an instant, Robit's whole body was suddenly full of strength because of his anger, and he completed an incredible action with great speed.

Most of the people didn't see the change clearly, and then they heard the sword in Bruce's hand fall to the ground with a clatter, and Bruce stood there stunned, completely unaware of what was happening.

Soon there was a sharp pain in Bruce's arm, and blood began to flow slowly out of his arm! It was a shallow sword wound, and Bruce didn't seem to know how Robid had scratched himself, everything was so incredible.

In a sword duel, the sword is lost when it is taken off, and Bruce's defeat is decided, and the judge reaches out and rings the bell to end the game. Robit glanced at Bruce, didn't say a word, turned around and left the playing field.

Suddenly, Bruce went crazy, he picked up his sword from the ground, ignored the pain in his right arm, raised his sword and slashed at Robit, who was facing away from him.

The prince is usually pampered, where can he accept this kind of failure, the angry Bruce is unwilling, he hates Robit to the extreme, he is willful, he has already moved to kill, even if it is not justified, even if it is a sneak attack, he will be killed.

Everyone froze in place, and the King and Connor stood up in amazement.

Before they could open their mouths to warn Robit, the alert Robit had sensed the danger, and he turned sharply, and the moment of tragedy came.

Bruce just thought about sneaking up on someone himself, completely ignoring Robbit's notice. At the moment when Robit turned around with his sword, Bruce couldn't contain his body and slammed into the long sword in Robit's hand.

The sharp sword pierced Prince Bruce's chest, and the prince had a hideous look on his face before falling straight to the ground.

Prince Bruce, who was lying on the ground, never expected such an ending, he struggled and kicked his legs, he was very unwilling to die like this. But death was so close to him that he finally twitched on the ground, and there was no more breath in his mouth.

The death of the prince was no small matter, and no one expected such an accident. The scene began to become chaotic, and the crowd kept screaming, and even the other venues where the game was being played stopped one after another, and everyone gathered around the arena where they were.

The king was stunned by what had just happened, and his face was flushed, and it took him a long time to recover.

Then the king's thunderous roar came from the stands: "Presumptuous, kill him for me!" ”。 Because of his grief, the king had lost his mind, and there was only one thought left in his heart, that is, to let Robit accompany his son immediately.

After hearing the king's order, dozens of guards rushed in from the outside of the field, surrounded Robbit, and countless spears were pointed at him!

This scene frightened Cook and the others in the stands, their minds were blank, their elbows were at a loss, and they only heard Mary crying on the side.

Connor's eyes glazed over, and he lost his bearings. When he saw that the guards surrounded Robit, suddenly a flying body jumped directly from a high platform dozens of meters high, causing everyone to scream incessantly.

Everyone thought that Connor was committing suicide to apologize, but they didn't expect him to fall to the ground smoothly, and then crawled to the prince's corpse, crying and shouting: "Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness Prince Bruce, wake up quickly!" ”

Connor's presence surprised the guards, who looked at each other and did not dare to take any further action against Robit. In the kingdom Connor's status and nobility, even if there is an order from the king in front of him, the guards do not dare to act rashly! Because they don't know what will happen next, they have to wait and wait.

The king was filled with grief and indignation, and he leaned against the wall in anger, gasping for air, and staring at Robit and Connor with a pair of eyes!

At this time, Connor was kneeling on the ground next to the prince's corpse, and he seemed to be extremely uncomfortable, and continued to slam his head on the ground, crying heartbreakingly, and countless people were sad and shed tears.

Connor suddenly got up, grabbed one of the guards, and rushed in to snatch Robbit's sword! Then Connor turned directly, knelt down in front of the king, and then raised his head and cried, "Your Majesty, I, Connor, am guilty, and the sin is unforgivable, please let me die for the prince's life!" ”。

After saying that, Connor swung his sword and stabbed himself in the abdomen, and a sword pierced his back, and blood poured into it, unequivocally!

The arena became even more chaotic, and with such a bloody scene, countless people did not dare to face it squarely and turned their heads one after another.

Fawkes emerged from the crowd, he desperately pushed away the guards, rushed to Connor's side, stretched out his hand to help him and scolded angrily: "Lord Duke, you are crazy, it's not your fault, you have something to say, what are you doing?" ”

Connor was ashamed to speak, and closed his eyes sadly, and two lines of old tears kept falling from his face.

King Sals, who was in the stands, stared at the field, and after thinking for a while, he whispered a few words to the king!

The king looked back at him in a daze, a hint of surprise on his face!

King Luo Khan didn't speak, but shook his head slightly.

It may have been that King Luo Khan had reminded the king, and the complexion on the king's face softened slightly. The king returned his gaze to the field, to Connor, who was bleeding, and then to his dead son. King Furyk was conflicted, he looked up to the sky, his eyes closed, and pondered in pain.

The whole square was silent, and no one dared to make any noise at such times, or the king would be so angry that he would have unimaginable consequences.

The king thought seriously, and after a long, long time, he slowly lowered his head and roared at the pale Connor: "Connor, you are enough, stop me!" ”

At the King's words, all around the arena fell silent, and everyone knelt down before the King, begging him to spare the poor First Duke.

The king looked sideways at his younger brother, King Sals of the Lockhan Khan, and then announced in a loud voice: "The murder of the prince is the same as treason, and he should be put to death on the spot!" But you, Connor, are loyal and dedicated to the Kingdom, and you Connor have never done anything to be sorry for the Kingdom over the years! I, Furyk, am not an unreasonable person, you are the number one loyal minister of our kingdom, and I will definitely be lenient in this matter! ”

After saying that, King Furyk glared at Robit viciously, and then waved his hand at King Luo Khan beside him.

King Luo Khan nodded, and saw that his expression was serious, and he announced in a solemn tone: "Robit is a great crime to kill the prince, but for the sake of your father's loyalty to the kingdom for many years, His Majesty the King is merciful and has decided not to kill you for the time being!" But you must accept the punishment, and from now on you will stay in the dungeons of Ritunburg and repent slowly, and no one will let you out without the permission of His Majesty. ”

Everyone sweated for Connor, but the king not only did not dispose of Connor, but also left Robit a way to live.

After the verdict was announced, King Luo Khan spoke again: "Escort Robit immediately, and send him to Litunbao today, there must be no mistake!" ”

Several guards walked up to the prince's body and carried him slowly out of the arena. Two other guards came to Robbit's side, waiting for his reaction.

At this time, Robit knelt down in front of Connor with a plop, kowtowing desperately to Connor, unable to say a word.

At this time, Connor had no heart to blame him, Robit was originally the only hope for his First Duke's Palace, but now everything has come to naught. It's not so much that the sword just now is to forgive the prince's life, but it is better to say that he has no face to face his ancestors, and he really wants to be so sword but himself, and he will end up at ease.

Desperate, Connor burst into tears, ignoring the sharp pain in his abdomen, waved his hand and slapped Robit hard, and scolded him angrily: "You bastard, get out of here!" ”

After listening to the duke's words, the two guards immediately escorted Robitt and quickly left the arena with him.

The king snorted angrily at this, then turned around and left the stands with King Luo Khan and the princes.

A grand knightly tournament was thus terminated in a tragic way.

The death of the prince shocked the whole of Knight, and people were frantically passing on the shocking news that there was a Robit in the First Duke's Palace who killed the prince.
