In front of the Templar Square on the Holy Mount of Jerusus, Arthur and his opponents bow to each other. "Hello, Your Highness the Son. I am Yar Kapper, son of John Kapper, a bronze shield from the Sarno Collar. My father owes allegiance to your grandfather, the Duke of Lois. Arthur had seen this man, but he had not spoken to him, he knew that this man was Soles Ottobel's squire, but he did not expect him to be from his grandfather's domain. "Hello, son of the bronze shield capper, please advise. ”

After greeting each other again, the two walked to the opposite side of the competition field. After putting on a simple suit of armor, Arthur turned over and rode his favorite ride, the Hurricane. Arthur rode a hurricane and stood at the east end of the jousting arena with a rifle in hand, pulled down his mask with a "bang", and then prepared for battle. Yar Kapper also stood in the western sector with a rifle in his hand. The two seemed to be sprinting at the same time. Yar leaned forward and held his spear firmly at his waist, rock-solid. Arthur, on the other hand, was more flexible, and at the moment when the two mounted spears met, Arthur leaned to the left to avoid Yar's mounted spear, and then the mounted spear was raised, and the tip of the spear was aimed at Yar's chest and stabbed it. It's a pity that the tip of Arthur's spear was completely unloaded by Yar's bronze shield, and the resistance of the tip of the spear hitting the bronze shield also made Arthur's body unstable and almost fell off his horse.

Arthur steadied himself, slammed the reins and turned his horse's head around for the second round. And Yar pinched the horse's belly hard in the western section, and then rode his horse towards Arthur. When Yar was still holding the bronze shield to his chest as he had done in the previous round, and then holding the spear to his waist, Arthur pressed his body very low and stabbed the spear at Yar's waist. As the bodies of the two horses staggered, Arthur sat firmly on his horse and raised his riding spear. And Yar Kapper rolled twice on the ground before standing up on his waist in great pain.

Seeing that the first challenger was defeated, the second challenger walked directly to the field, which was a man who was stronger than John Carpao, and after saluting each other, Arthur wanted to say something, only to find that his opponent had already set up his position. Seeing this, Arthur was not ambiguous, and directly urged the hurricane to rush towards the trainee knight. With a loud bang, dust rose on the field, and when the dust cleared, the sturdy knight was found to have fallen to the ground. Most people didn't know why the skinny Arthur had won over the knight, and only a few paladins saw a dent in the man's helmet.

Arthur then defeated a knight trainee from the Kansas province of the Eloda Empire. Defeating three apprentice knights in a row made Arthur a little proud, and he looked around excitedly, like a king who greeted victory. Horace turned and whispered a few words to the attendant beside him, and the attendant turned away. While Arthur was still waiting for other challengers on the field, no one dared to fight for a while. At this time, a challenger appeared in the western section of the tournament field, which was actually the attendant who had just left the field. Arthur fixed his eyes and saw that it was Agaros Lexia, the attendant of Teacher Horace, and his senior brother, Agaros Lexia, who was known as the "Lion". Although Agaros is currently only a trainee knight, he once defeated a long-maned lion on his own.

Arthur was so impressed with this brother that Sir Horace would let him watch Agaros fight with him every time before training him, and Agaros lived up to the name of the lion, even when facing the chief knight of the right hand of God, and was able to have a relationship with Sir Horace.

Arthur's expression was a little solemn, he knew that the teacher let his senior brother play was definitely not as simple as wanting to defeat himself, he must have done something wrong, and the teacher asked the senior brother to punish him.

After the two sides saluted and set up their positions, Arthur looked determined and rushed directly to Agaros. After Agaros put his mask on, he also rode straight over. "Bang", with the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the hurricane stepped on the horse's hooves, constantly rubbing his head against Arthur's body. Arthur was already unconscious.

When Arthur woke up again, he found himself lying in his bed, and his chest was covered with bandages. Holding his drowsy swollen head, Arthur sat up, only to see his teacher, Sir Horace, admiring his saber and lion's fangs. "This is the blade that King Arthur single-handedly defeated the golden lion and forged with the blood of the golden lion. Sir Horace sighed. "Teacher. Arthur struggled to salute, Horace looked at Arthur coldly, and then said, "What is the knight's oath of honor?" ”

"Humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, mercy, spirituality, honesty, justice. ”

"In that case, do you know what you did wrong?" Arthur, bowing his head in shame, "Please make it clear to the teacher." "You never know how strong your opponent will be, so with humility, don't think you can be invincible in the face of your enemy. After defeating three trainee knights, he was complacent. Horace said in a deep voice. "Remember what your teacher taught. "Since you know that you are wrong, let's take care of your injuries. Tomorrow we will continue to practice with Agaros. With that, Horace gently put the lion's tooth back in the scabbard and left. Only Arthur, who was a little painful, was left.

The next day, Arthur, who still had some pain in his chest, was already standing on the training ground waiting for his senior brother "Lion" Agaros Lexia, and it didn't take long for Agaros in military uniform to appear in Arthur's eyes.

"William, how is it, does it still hurt?" Arthur looked at the smiling Fogallo, and said angrily: "It's okay, compared to the senior brother, I have to thank the senior brother's subordinates for showing mercy." "William, if you say this, it will hurt my heart, senior brother, this is the teacher's request, and the teacher's order is difficult to disobey! Fogallo shrugged.

When Arthur, who was leaning against the wall after being knocked away, watched Agaros pull himself up with a forced smile, Arthur gave Agaros a hateful look and said, "Come again." ”

Again, again.

When Arthur didn't know how many times he was knocked down again, and then he was about to stand up again, Agaros completely collapsed, "William, you can't beat me, and then you want to exhaust me." Agaros couldn't help but complain.

"Senior brother, come again. Although he was knocked away every time, Agaros was also very measured, and the force of each attack made Arthur uncomfortable enough, but not fatal. "Okay, I'm really afraid of you. I invited you for today's drink. Agaros also sat on the ground, panting. "Senior brother, this time I want to drink the most expensive light crystal. Arthur stood up against the wall, "What? are you going to bankrupt me?" said Agaros aloud. Who made you attack so ruthlessly today, Arthur didn't say anything, just leaned on Agaros's body, and Agaros had a defeated expression, and then the two walked out of the practice room with each other.

Although the Holy See has such and such precepts, it is not forbidden to drink alcohol, and Arthur likes to go to the village after training every day to drink a few glasses to relieve the fatigue of a day's training.

Pushing open the door of Orlie's Tavern, Arthur and Agaros, Almons, and Villatansi were infected by the warm atmosphere in the tavern. Arthur and the others found a relatively clean place to sit down, and then Agaros said to the waiter with a painful face: "Give this bastard a glass of light crystal, I want a cup of agave." Arthur, on the other hand, did not change his face and accepted Agaros's invitation calmly. Almons and the others also ordered two glasses of wine each.

Although Agaros has always been very reluctant, Arthur knows that Agaros comes from the most prestigious family in the Eloda Empire, the Lexia-Plantagenet. Arthur had wondered why someone in a family that believed in the god of war believed in the sun god and chose to become a paladin. However, Agaros didn't say it, and Arthur didn't want to ask, after all, there was too much deceit among the sons of the nobles, especially since Agaros was the second son of the family. What's more, Agaros never asked himself why the male of the Ovite royal family, who had not been allowed to become a paladin, would make Arthur a paladin, especially since Arthur was still the first in line to the throne.

Soon the waiter brought the wine to the four of Arthur, and the four of them drank slowly, and then chatted about the recent anecdotes about the Ovite Kingdom and the Eloda Empire.

"What do you know about what happened in the northwest of the kingdom. William, is there any news from the royal capital?" Almons was the first to speak. When Almondo said this, both Agaros and Velitansi looked at Arthur. Arthur looked at the three of them, and then said, "I don't know the specifics. When I first came to the Holy See, there was news from the royal capital, but there has been no news in recent months. I thought that my father didn't want to disturb my practice, so he didn't tell me the news. As for what happened in the northwest of the kingdom, what I learned was that there was corpse poison there, and the situation is not serious at present, the royal capital has already sent troops to encircle and suppress it, and the empire has also begun to send troops. Agaros, do you know what's going on on the Empire's side?" Arthur asked Agaros, who was sitting across from him.

"I don't know much about the specifics like you, but not long ago, one of the Empire's frontier troops was wiped out while encircling zombies. In this regard, the imperial capital believes that the kingdom has done it, and they believe that the little zombie cannot swallow a border force of the empire, especially that no one survives. Therefore, while protesting against the kingdom, the empire has ordered all border troops to retreat to the border and not to enter the Walloon plateau. Agaros's words surprised the other three people present, "How is it possible, how can our country do such a thing!"

"I also believe that the Kingdom of Ovit will not be hacked at this critical moment. But the imperial capital didn't believe it. Agaros looked helpless.

"Do you think the situation of corpse poison on the Walloon Plateau has become complicated and serious? And the Empire doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, so it's an excuse to get out of here?, and that's why we're heading to the northwest of the kingdom?" Almondo began.

"Perhaps, but isn't it treachery for the Empire to do this?" Villitancy remained indignant.

Arthur drank the Light Crystal and was silent. He remembered what his father had said to him before he left the city of Xsolus, could it be that the total destruction of the Imperial Frontier Force was really the king's troubles.

"William, what's wrong with you. Seeing that Arthur was silent, Almondo called out to Arthur a few times.

"Ahh

Just as Arthur came to his senses and tried to explain, there was a sudden rush of horns outside the tavern. The four of them were all shocked, how could the emergency warning horn of the holy mountain be sounded. "Get out there and have a look. Agaros reacted first, putting down his glass and running straight through the crowd to the outside of the tavern. Arthur and Almondo saw Agaros running out and hurried to follow. Vicitancy watched as all three of them ran out, and hurried to follow, not forgetting to finish the wine in the glass before leaving.
