Section 26 Princess Fiona of the Empire
Ever since Fiona was insulted by Whitart, she had nightmares every night, like a lingering haze that tormented Fiona repeatedly
Seeing his baby daughter in low spirits and haggard day by day, Wakas's heart was about to break.
Finally, Warkas couldn't take it anymore, and he asked Fiona, "What do you want your father to do, you are at ease, and I will listen to you this time." ”
Fiona's expression was more muna, he got up and left his seat, pointed to the window and said coldly: "I want you to hold a martial arts competition for me in the knight's square in the royal capital, and whoever can win the first place will marry me." And you have to promise me that all of them, whether they're Tuppis or Knights, are eligible to participate, and you're going to send this news to all of Knight. If I find out that my father is cheating for personal gain and controlling the contestants, then I will die directly in front of you. ”
After hearing this, Vacas was shocked, and immediately frowned and reprimanded: "It's too unlucky to mention what is dead and dead." Didn't you just want to take the opportunity to find your knight, Knight, and my father would do as you wanted. Don't mention dead or not dead in the future, you know? ”
Fiona lowered her head and replied weakly, "Got it, Father." ”
Seeing Fiona's response, Wakas finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
In May 474 of the Nate calendar, a huge princess recruitment contest kicked off in the royal capital. Although Warkas sent invitations to Dragon City and Northland respectively according to Fiona's request, he also arranged for several Imperial Captains to participate in the competition, among which Anthony had the most confidence. For a long time, Vacas has always regarded Anthony as his heir, so he fell in love with this son-in-law for Fiona very early, looking forward to the two of them getting married as soon as possible, and this tournament is a rare opportunity.
After getting the news of the princess recruitment contest, Anthony handed over all the defense of Cobillon to Yale, and set off non-stop overnight, all the way to the royal capital. In order to allow Anthony to succeed in winning the first place, Warkas did not hesitate to personally tell him to protect Princess Fiona and resolutely not let the Nate marry her. Anthony is proud of this and is determined to win first place in the competition.
After Dragon City received Wakas's invitation, Cologne threw the letter into the fire and yelled at Wakas.
On the northern side, Caldis, who had received the invitation, consulted with the people, and in order to maintain peace with Warkass, they decided to go to the appointment. The team was led by Cook and included the likes of Mompott, Jombus and Aarius.
On the day of the tournament, the Knights' Square in the royal capital was renovated, and the Imperial warriors crowded the seats of the arena, which was no less lively than the Knight Knights Contest of the past.
Warkas is the only one daughter, and all his daughters' martial arts competitions are naturally in full swing to highlight his unique identity.
When Cook and the others came to the royal capital, the martial arts competition had been in full swing for three days, and the people who appeared in the ring at this time were basically first-class masters from Tubis.
This was an era of advocating force, and those princes and clans often used this way to choose a good husband for their daughters. And those young people who have the ability are also looking forward to such an event, because as long as they win, they will be among the giants, and from then on they will be able to get ahead, which is much faster than exchanging their lives for glory and status on the battlefield.
The appearance of the Knight surprised all the Imperial Knights, and they looked at the group of enemies with angry eyes, and the atmosphere in the arena was particularly solemn.
Warkas personally greeted Cook and his party, and when he had searched for them thoroughly, he asked Cook, "Didn't you Duke Caldis come?" ”
Cook replied, "No, there are too many territorial affairs in the Northland, and we have been working on new regulations recently, so my cousin can't leave." ”
"Oh!" , Vacas nodded, feeling that this Caldis was very vigilant, and did not appoint all the elites of the northern kingdom to the royal capital.
The match continued, and Rossabar went into battle and defeated only two Imperial Warriors, and soon he was defeated by one of the Imperial Captains of Tubis. Then Alius came on the field, and he defeated three imperial commanders one after another, and the barbarians who fought were full of complaints, and they all shouted to make Alius look good.
Soon the event was at its climax, and at Utorres' suggestion, his knight captain Hansen began to take to the ring.
Hansen is 24 years old and hails from Buck, a small town in the western border of the empire. Orphaned with his brother Bill, he was adopted by Imperial Baron Woodrow from an early age and trained with Woodrow's only son, Morton, the wandering knight Whisson. Hansen was much older than Morton and Bill, so he joined the Imperial Army earlier and joined Utorres on the Crusade Knight.
Hansen, who has been baptized by countless wars, is very admired by Utorres for his ability and ability, and now he is the toughest knight captain under Utorres, and there is no one.
The simple Hansen was placed on stage to challenge Knight's Aless, who was paving the way for Anthony's eventual appearance and becoming a pawn in the tournament.
The duel with Alius soon began, Hansen, who had a lot of actual combat experience, showed great tenacity, and his swordsmanship skills were very solid, and after dozens of moves, Knight's head Alius was accidentally defeated.
Seeing Aleus retreat from the ring, Cook looked left and right, and asked, "Mompot, Jombus, you two will discuss who will go up next to fight." ”
Mompot smiled and asked, "Do we have to fight?" This is a contest between their Tubis people to recruit relatives, in case you win, you still let us marry a Tubis woman as a wife? ”
Jombus hurriedly shook his head and said, "That's not good, I don't want to be scolded as a traitor in the future." ”
Cook frowned at Jombus, a hint of displeasure on his face, and he complained, "You're still thinking about that Chrissy, aren't you?" Maybe they would have gotten married in Dragon City a long time ago. ”
Jombus lowered his head after hearing this, his expression was very sad, and Cook's words clearly stimulated him.
Suddenly, Fiona walked out of the high platform and said impatiently to everyone in the audience: "If you want to challenge, please move quickly, today is the last day of the competition, whoever can stand in the ring before sunset will be the final winner of the ring."
After saying that, Fiona looked at the Knights sitting in the crowd from a distance, and then let go of her voice and complained: "Are you Knights just here to watch the play?" And there wasn't a decent one to come up and fight? ”。 With that, Fiona turned angrily and sat down beside Vacas.
"Okay." , Montpot suddenly got up and said: "Since Captain Jombus is unwilling to go, then I will go on stage to play with them for a while, just for the sake of our northern country, to cheer them on." ”
Mompot said this, but his heart was already surging, for Fiona was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Soon Montpot came out with his sword, and when he came to the ring, he leaped forward, and his figure and movements looked particularly beautiful.
Fiona felt a pang of panic in her heart as she saw Knight play, and she looked at Montpot seriously. I saw that this person was covered in armor and wore a red cloak behind him, and at a glance he knew that he was the head of the knights of their knights. Although the face seemed familiar, Fiona felt that he was not the person she was looking for, as the man in the night was only a knight of Knight, and there was no necklace around his neck.
The fight continued, and Hansen steadied himself with his sword in both hands, and he didn't give Montpot the slightest chance. The two quickly changed steps, and in the ring, you ran to me, and the fight was very fierce. Judging from the fact that they do not give in to each other, this duel between masters is not a matter of three or two moves to determine the winner and loser.
Half an hour later, Mompot suddenly drew his sword and retreated, and said to Hansen: "Your Excellency's swordsmanship is really exquisite, let's fight here, I will take my leave first." ”
Mompot felt that it was almost enough, and during the duel in the ring, he thought very clearly, the noble girl of Tubis that he had met in Luo Khan before could never be the daughter of Wakas. As the princess of the empire, how could she be bullied by Luo Khan alone, even if she passed by Luo Khan, there would be someone from the Knights accompanying her to protect her. So he decided to give up the competition on his own initiative and let the barbarians continue to play with their own people.
But the honest Hansen didn't think so, he felt that Montpot was insulting him, and at the same time insulting Princess Fiona. So Hansen said fiercely: "When you go on stage, you have to compete for a victory, what are you here, you can come and go if you want?" ”
After saying that, Hansen slashed at Mompot with a sword, and was so shocked that Montport had to swing his sword to continue the battle.
Then Hansen began to go all out, and every move only took the key points of Montport, which made Montpot also start to be angry.
Monpot was furious at this stubborn fellow, and he attacked with all his strength without reservation, and the duel broke out to the climax.
In the past, the lion slaughtering hero of Lisburg, Montpot, was not an idle person. In the cold light, Mompot couldn't stop his hand in time, and the long sword pierced directly through Hansen's chest, causing everyone to scream.
It was the first time someone had been stabbed in a tournament, and as Hansen collapsed straight to the ground in a pool of blood, the Tubis guards all looked at the ring in amazement, marveling at what was happening in front of them.
Vacas sat on the high platform, he glanced coldly at Hansen's corpse, waved his hand and motioned for the guards to drag the corpse away immediately, and continued the competition to recruit relatives.
Enraged by the sight of Mompot killing his beloved chief knight, Utorres, who sat next to Vacas, reached out and put his hand on the hilt of his sword, as if he was going to do it himself.
Vacas had a keen eye, and he immediately angrily rebuked Utores and said, "What do you want to do? Are you crazy? ”
Utorres replied, "This Nate is so hateful that he dares to kill people in public on our territory, and we can't make him too proud." ”
Varkas said coldly: "This is a contest to recruit relatives, and it is not a duel between the two armies. What are you anxious about, hasn't Anthony not played yet? ”
"Anthony?" Fiona immediately asked, "You arranged for Anthony to play?" Wasn't he stationed in Cobilon? ”
Varkas replied with a smile: "Isn't this for your match, he came from Cobilon on purpose, you see how much he cares about you, what a good young man." ”
Fiona glanced at Vacas and sat quietly staring at Mompot, her mind racing for thought.
Hansen's death was a stimulus to the Tubis, and although everyone was furious, they all knew that Montpot was not easy to mess with, and no one dared to challenge him.
At this moment, Anthony's figure appeared in the crowd, which made all the Tubis knights go crazy and desperately shout for Anthony.
Anthony finally couldn't help it, he wanted to end this competition quickly, and he couldn't wait for Fiona, who was thinking about it day and night.
The wind blew gently, and the sun shone into the ring with a fiery slanting slant into the ring, and Anthony and Mompot stood opposite each other, both staring at each other without a word.
Suddenly, the cold light flashed in the ring, and the two shot almost at the same time, and the two sides were killed in an instant. The speed of the two is amazingly fast, turning into a black shadow and fighting frantically, and they can't tell each other apart at all.
Cook in the audience exclaimed: "In the past few years, Mompot's swordsmanship has really improved rapidly, it is hard to imagine that he could only tie with those imperial warriors four years ago. ”
Jombus nodded and replied, "Well, but Anthony is not an ordinary person, but I'm afraid that Montpot is in danger." ”
Cook looked at Jombus and said, "You mean, Anthony will avenge that Hansen and find a chance to attack Mompot?" ”
Jombus replied: "It's hard to say, this Anthony is extraordinary, and no one can guarantee that there will be any accidents on the field. ”
Just as the two were talking, a thunderous applause erupted around the arena, and the two hurriedly looked towards the ring.
I saw that Mompot took several steps back, blood stained his abdomen, and in just a few dozen moves, Mompot had already fallen behind and was injured.
While Cook and Jombus were worried about him, Mompot did not admit defeat and continued to attack Anthony with his sword.
For Montpott, he could accept a draw, but he couldn't accept a defeat and walk out of the ring. This is not only because of his own face, but more importantly, he must not let the honor of the northern country be damaged, and in this ring, Montpot showed a tenacious fighting spirit.
After all, there is a gap in strength, Anthony is obviously slightly more powerful than Montpott, and after a few moves, there are a few more blood holes on Mompott's body, which makes Fiona, who is sitting on the side, tremble.
However, when Anthony stabbed Montport in the left abdomen again, Momport grabbed Anthony's sword with his bare hands, and swung the sword with his right hand to reach Anthony's neck.
Anthony took a big breath of surprise and was about to reach out and pull back his sword, but Montpot had so much strength that he couldn't pull it out.
When Anthony felt a stabbing pain in the left side of his neck, he was surprised to find that Robit had cut the blade of the longsword into the skin of his neck, and if he tried harder, he would die on the spot.
He never thought that Montpot would be so desperate, Anthony was so shocked that he didn't dare to move, he exclaimed, "Are you crazy? How can you die like this? ”
Mompot endured the severe pain all over his body, his expression was very indifferent, and he said in a reprimanding voice: "The arena is like a battlefield, there is only winning and losing here, what's the use of talking about other things." Do you admit defeat or not? ”
With a slight effort, Montpott's blade slashed further into Anthony's neck, and a stream of bright red blood began to drip down the blade.
Anthony glared at Montpott, but there was no way, his life was in the hands of Mompott, and the sword in his right hand was not up to him. Eventually, Anthony let go of his hand, bowed his head and replied, "Lord Mompot is indeed mighty, and I, Anthony, have mercy on me, and I have been defeated by accident, and I admit defeat." ”
After hearing this, Mompot pulled the long sword he was holding out of his abdomen and threw it aside.
He continued to press Anthony's neck with his long sword and said coldly to him: "Don't be unwilling, if this was on the battlefield, you would have died a long time ago." ”
After saying that, Mompot removed his sword and stood firmly in front of Anthony.
Anthony's face flushed with shame as he saw blood slowly flow from Mompott's feet to the ground, staining the gray carpet of the ring red.
At this moment, Fiona slowly walked into the ring, reaching out to pick up the items that Montpot had dropped during the duel.
It was a broken necklace, split in two by Anthony's sword, and three wolf fangs scattered aside. Fiona picked up the broken necklace and the wolf fangs in her hand. Then she reached for the items and slowly handed them to Mompot, scolding with tears in her eyes, "How can you break the necklace I gave you, you bastard." ”
After saying that, Fiona completely lost her mind, but threw away everything in her hand, and threw herself directly on Montpott's body, howling and crying.
The scene was a little out of control, and everyone didn't understand what was going on, only Warkas hurriedly came out and said, "The tournament is over, and Montpot is the champion of the tournament." Everyone, please go back, it's over. ”
With that, Varkas waved at the guards, asking them to disguise Fiona and Mompott as they left.
