At the end of August, the weather was still hot, but on the day of the knights' tournament, the weather was quite cool. The sun is shining, the cool breeze is mighty, and it has a bit of a golden autumn feeling.

"With just a group of magicians, you can temporarily change the climate from midsummer to mid-autumn, magic is so convenient!" Riding a heavy war horse, Naikhat did not bring a crossbow today, but carried a longbow in his hand, and looked at the two flags about four or five miles in front of him from a distance, "Just for such a competition, it is really luxurious to specially create such weather!"

"It's not extravagant, after all, it's a contest between three hundred knights, a big formation!" Panda was dressed in armor trimmed with gold decorations, as if he had walked out of the COS venue, and near him, the traversers were wearing heavy armor one by one, even men and horses, and they seemed to be invulnerable.

They formed a large circle centered on Jenny, who was also wearing heavy armor, as if they were Jenny's escort. And their apparent identities are that during the Battle of Norma, the mercenary knights who had asked Pratt to repair their armor came to participate in the competition in the royal capital of Trera, purely for the friendship with Pret.

Strictly speaking, such contestants cannot be regarded as "innocent", but with Princess Fisna vouching for them, there is naturally no problem.

Although it has not been able to change the restriction that "famous masters are not allowed to participate in the competition", she has expanded the scale of this competition on the grounds that "since there is no master to lead the team, then more young people should have the opportunity to show their talents".

Trella's monthly knightly jousting is not large. Generally speaking, there are about ten people per team (no more than fifteen people at most), a total of four or five teams. But this time, the competition was composed of three countries, and each team had a full hundred people, and the three teams combined were three hundred young knights!

These 300 people can almost be called the essence of the younger generation. Wang Tuhao once joked that if someone took advantage of the opportunity of this knight competition ceremony and smashed a meteorite magic on the competition venue, the high-end force of the next generation of armies of the three countries would shrink by at least a quarter.

A quarter may not seem like much, but that's all the force of a country! Not to mention, there are only simple knights and warriors here, and the spellcasters haven't participated yet.

In other words, the hundred young knights here are almost half of the official martial arts powerhouses of the next generation of a country.

After getting the news, some people in the traverser who are "experience-only theory" once proposed that everyone simply set up an ambush and serve these three hundred people in one pot, and they will definitely get a large amount of experience points. This idea can't be said to be unreasonable, but it is a little frustrated, and it has not only been strongly suppressed by decent people such as Panda and Sanyu, but even Loma Copperbeard and Semiramis and others, who are relatively inclined to villains, also disapprove.

But the reason for their disapproval is that the pigs will be fattened and then killed, and these people have not grown up yet, and they will not get much experience points from killing them. Even if you want to turn them into experience points, you have to wait until they go further on the road of life, or even reach the peak, before they can kill the killer.

For example, Duke Henry's father and son, the future legendary powerhouse Jakael Henry, along with the group of soldiers who died under the landslide, were not able to provide much experience points to Liu Daoqing and others who caused the landslide. And Hyde Henry, who won the Battle of Norma and launched the massacre, although he was only one person, provided a considerable amount of experience to all the time-travelers who participated in the battle to attack the Thracian army and hunt down Duke Henry.

It can be seen that killing people is also a science, not as long as the knife is fast enough.

Panda does not agree with such a statement. He is more inclined to be "task-oriented", believing that gaining experience by doing tasks is the safest way. And through one task after another, create intricate interpersonal relationships in this world, and push the wheel of history to turn, you can also derive more tasks and gain a steady stream of experience points.

In contrast, although killing people is simple and straightforward, people cannot be resurrected after death, and all the tasks related to this person and the subsequent stories are all in vain. At first glance, it seems that there is a lot of experience value, but in fact, it is not advisable to kill chickens and take eggs and dry up the water.

For example, in this knight competition, the opinion of Semiramis and others is that everyone should directly use all their skills to kill the two opposite sides or at least the Thracian side. And the panda's suggestion is to take it easy, just win the battle, and don't hack them to death now - in a few years, whether it is Tara Khan or the battle of the royal capital, there will definitely be a chance to kill them in the end.

The two sides discussed it once, and in the end, there were more people in favor of pandas. And the most crucial reason comes from Pratt - he said: "I will be married in a few days, and it is always bad to see that it is my big day, and now it is covered in blood." And Jenny and I both participated in this competition, and the couple got bloody, which was a bit unlucky. ”

The traversers are not birds, but they can't help but give face to their brothers. So even Semiramis, who wanted to turn many famous characters in the history of the game into experience points, had to give up with regret.

"If you think about it, there's nothing wrong with that. She pointed the hammer in her hand at the Thracians opposite, and said, "I'm dressed so plainly now, I won't win much attention if I kill them." Or wait until the future to change back to the magical girl costume, a light cannon will kill them to the scum, and it will definitely attract everyone's attention at that time!"

Jenny couldn't help but laugh when she heard her say funny, and said to Pratt beside her, "Your friends are so funny, I love this joke." ”

Pratt laughed too, but he knew that his friend was really not joking......

Little by little, the days passed and when the sundial reached ten o'clock, His Majesty King Treira, who was sitting on the viewing platform, issued the order to "start the joust".

The trumpet, which symbolized the beginning of the joust, was sounded, and the low and desolate sound of the horn echoed in the man-made autumn wind, stirring up a desolate atmosphere.

The three teams of knights formed their own formations, slowly walking from three different places to the center of the field.

Although there was a lot of complex terrain in this makeshift arena that was enough to carry out tactics, they invariably chose the simplest and most direct approach, and decided to fight a head-on battle on the open flat land in the central area.

A head-on duel is where the romance of knights lies!
