Chapter 33 The Imperial Tournament
The already prosperous city of Nirlu has become even more lively due to the convening of the tournament. The whole country of Palchi was in an uproar, and warriors from the princes and nobles, the common people, and even the tribes of Nubia rushed to participate. In fact, there are not so many people who are sincerely rushing to marry the princess, as long as they are not too arrogant samurai, no one will think that they can stand out and become the first brave man in Palchi with their own strength, most of these samurai are holding the mentality of watching the excitement to see who can become the first brave man in Palchi.
But as a result, the city of Nierru suddenly increased the flow of people, and suddenly every inn was full of people, and even many private families had to accommodate some samurai who could not live in the hotel, and the noisy situation made the sheriff in the city almost die of overwork. While the sheriff was struggling on the line of life and death, the date set by the king for the contest finally arrived, and the sheriff, who had barely escaped, almost shouted "Long live the king" to express his joy.
In the early morning of April 20, the city of Nirru was empty, and everyone gathered in the royal square of Palci, west of the city of Nirru. It was built for large events by the royal house of Palci, and civilians were not allowed to enter the square except for the triennial knightly trials and the triennial horse races.
Today, the square was crowded with unprecedented numbers, the nobles and their slaves began to set up pergolas to rest after taking better seats, while the more commoners and samurai from afar could only fight in the scorching sun, and the air was mixed with the smell of human sweat, fat powder, and horse dung.
Ayuka as Prince Yaki. Have a great slope overlooking the square as your own resting place. Sitting in the pergola, Eyuka sipped wine with ice. Looking at everything in the square.
After a lengthy red tape ritual by the priests, King Airul IX publicly announced the rules of the tournament: contestants must be unmarried men. There is no limit to height and weight, there is no limit to stepping down immediately in battle, either side admits defeat, escapes, cannot stand up on its own after falling to the ground, or the dead lose. The winner will accept the challenge of the others until no one else does so, at which point the winner will be awarded the title of the First Brave of Palci and Princess Alfrit of Parci.
Airul then announced the official start of the tournament. The people in the square let out bursts of cheers. However, no one actually played. All true competitors understand that the first end is equivalent to defeat, and no matter how strong you are, you can't afford to live up to the wheel war.
After a short cold scene, the audience began to heckle. Airul frowned slightly, then pouted. Immediately, a person rushed onto the field as if he were flying.
The man looked to be in his twenties, a mighty and majestic uniform, and his facial features were upright although not handsome. I saw him on his horse and shouted: "Down is the king of Palchi driving a thousand horsemen in front of Chikirda!" I know that my martial arts are not qualified to win the competition, but I still want to see how powerful you are warriors! I wonder who is willing to give advice? ”
Chikelda was still well-known in Palci, and it was not because of his family background that he was able to become the commander of a thousand cavalry at the age of twenty-five, because Arul would never hand over the most elite cavalry in Palci to a man who did not have the strength to command. And his meaning is clear. If even he doesn't have the confidence to play, then there is no need to waste time and be embarrassed.
The crowd fell silent for a moment, everyone knew Chikirda's prowess, and this was not an easy opponent to deal with. There were five thousand cavalry commanders in the Imperial Cavalry of Arul. And this Chikelda is the youngest and the most strong, and the self-aware person knows that he is not an opponent, so he dispels the idea of wanting to show his skills. Right now. A thunderous voice sounded in the crowd: "Then I'll come to receive the lesson!" ”
When everyone heard the sound, they looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a head suddenly appear in the crowd. It turned out that the man had been sitting on the ground. At this time, he suddenly stood up, and it turned out to be a flock. It's at least a head and a half taller than everyone else! This man was dark, with a pair of bright eyes under his bald head, a wide nose facing the sky, thick lips, a naked upper body painted with strange patterns, a baboon skin around his lower body, and a huge long-handled axe in his hand. The people around him hurriedly made way for him, because if his huge body was brought, he was afraid that he would lose his balance and fall to the ground, not to mention that the oversized axe in his hand knew at a glance that it was from Palci's fine product, and it was stained with human blood.
Chikirda looked at the black giant in front of him. This person didn't need to ask to know that it was a warrior from the southern Nubian tribe, a killing machine trained in the inter-tribal melee, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
I saw the black giant man say in the not-so-authentic Palci language: "I am, the Derby tribe, Agobar!" Let's take a look at your Excellency's tricks! ”
Chikirda gave a standard military salute with the sword in his hand and said, "Then you will be offended!" ”
With that, Chiklda rushed towards Agobar, and the sword in his hand suddenly turned into a waterfall of light and slashed straight down on Agobar's head! Agobar stood still, and took the move head-on with his long-handled axe, only to hear a loud bang, and Chikirda's sword was shaken to the ground!
In fact, Chikirda's move was just a temptation, originally he didn't expect to be able to outperform this giant man in strength, at this time he swung directly at Agobar with the shield in his left hand, Agobar parried with the handle of the axe, and the huge impact pushed him back a step, and Agobar immediately swung the giant axe and counterattacked.
Chiklda saw that he had only taken a step back from the impact of the man and the horse, and his strength could be seen, and he couldn't catch the axe hard, so he avoided it with a flick of the horse's head. Agobal didn't relax when he missed a move, and he slashed with an axe, Chiklda dodged again, and then in a series of seven or eight moves, Chikralda dodged all of Agobar's attacks with his excellent equestrian skills. This skill in manipulating the horses immediately drew applause from the audience.
Agobar missed a few blows, and immediately launched a temperament, picking the axe like a wheel, and then Chikelda could not completely avoid it by dodging alone, he had to use his sword to defuse these attacks, he skillfully used his sword to unload Agobar's heavy blows, but never confronted him head-on. On the one hand, he really didn't dare to take this fierce attack, and on the other hand, Chikirda also clearly realized that an onslaught like Agobal's was too physically exhausting, and it was impossible to sustain it for a long time, and only by prolonging the battle could he have a chance to turn into victory.
But Agobar's divine power seemed to have no end, and after dozens of moves in a row, his offensive not only did not weaken, but became more and more convenient.
Ai Youka shook his head again and again when he saw this scene, and said to himself: "It's a pity that this big guy's strength is in vain, and it is in vain if he doesn't know how to use it." This is simply a battle between a snake and an elephant? ”
However, Eyuka spoke too soon, and just as he was spitting out his comments, Agobar suddenly changed his move, and his speed surprised everyone! And when everyone woke up from this shock, the war horse under Chikelda's crotch had been cut to a different place by Agobar! (To be continued......)
