Chapter 174: The Ending
Not long after noon, Leon had run out of arrows, and by this time he had already harvested thirteen prey.
On the other side, Grant had just shot his last arrow, declaring him over with seven preys.
Albert gave up directly, without the idea of hunting at all: "Let's go back." "The remaining two lords basically didn't have much to gain, there were only six of them combined, and it would be a waste of time to continue.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's go to the rendezvous point and then return to the camp. When there is enough prey to carry, the servant will transport them to the rendezvous point set up in the forest, and the prey will be pulled back by a special vehicle.
Grant was on the way, his face was not very good, according to the current gap, he could lose, Leon was almost twice as big as him, this gap was not a little and a half.
"Are you worried?" Albert asked softly, walking behind him.
"There are reasons to be worried. ”
"How could Hampshire lose. Albert gave him a confident smile.
When they arrived at the meeting point, several teams were already there, and the vehicles were stacked with full of prey, waiting to leave.
"How's it going, Lord Grant?" said someone with eager concern.
In their opinion, Ravenwood wants to defeat seven people with the strength of four people, including many Middle Knights and Northern Knights, and they don't know what the result will be.
In previous years, Hampshire and Ellespoory, the two forces were the first contenders, either the first or the second, in the face of such strength, the unknown Ravenwood still dared to bet, afraid that there was either too much money or people were too stupid.
Grant had received a hint from Albert before, and was now full of confidence, talking about the wonderful moment of the hunt, which made the knights applaud.
Leon listened after him, thinking that he was really powerful, and hunting a few rabbits could tell the feeling of sweeping thousands of armies on the battlefield.
Along the way, teams continued to join, and the forest was full of laughter.
When they returned to the camp, it was still early, but most of the people had already returned, and thirty arrows was not a pleasure for them.
The servants took out the parchment rolls on their bodies and began to hand them in, which were counted by special people.
"Hampshire seven. ”
"White Mist City is none. ”
......
"Ravenwood, this, thirteen. "The people who counted were a little shocked, it was a pretty good result, no wonder they were willing to bet in front of everyone that it wasn't too early to rejoice before the totals came out, and everyone was still bullish on Hampshire.
A bonfire is already being prepared inside the camp and tonight will be an unforgettable night.
Emma stood next to Leon and waited for the others to return.
Just after counting the prey of the various forces, a group of people rushed back, and Mormont was among them.
"Hampshire, ten, pretty good. "This is above the average of previous years.
"Ravenwood, ten, eighteen?" The people who counted were a little skeptical, how could this be possible, in the history of spring hunting, there were only fifteen at most, which was too surprising.
This exaggerated statistic made the people around him talk about it, and they suspected that they had done something in it.
The people in the team did not stand up against this, especially the people in Hampshire, who were in the same team just for the sake of surveillance, and this was the case.
Grant's face was ugly: "How did you guys do it?"
"I, he ......" The knight also felt aggrieved, others are so powerful, what can be done.
It's useless for Grant to be angry, it's already happened, and he only hopes for the other teams.
Now there's a subtle change in the camp, and if it continues like this, Ravenwood has a chance to win.
The soldier at the door shouted, "Someone is back again." ”
Asda brought back twelve, Hampshire nine, the gap was not very large, and the victory was once again in Hampshire's favor.
Everyone's attention is on the confrontation between the two forces, this will be the most exciting moment of the spring hunt, and it will be passed down for years or even tens or hundreds of years in the future, and it is also an honor to be able to witness.
Lyon's heart is not at peace, the gap is not big enough now, and there is less than half a chance to win.
New teams are back.
Small prey counts as one, and large prey counts as three.
Hampshire won nine plus three, eight plus three, and eleven.
"My lord, it's a little strange that without our people in the ranks, their gains are even higher. Emma felt that there was fraud in it, the first three people were relatively normal, and the last three seemed ordinary, but they all had better performance.
Especially for large prey, it takes a lot of arrows to shoot, and in this case, the harvest of their small prey will be lower.
Leon guessed the possibility, and someone else struck first, giving them the last chance to shoot, so it was not against the rules, and Elspooly's people could only watch, unable to stop or expose.
Grant, on the other side, looked at him with the corners of his mouth raised, as if to say that you have lost.
Someone on stage summed it up: "Hampshire is in first place with a total of sixty, and Elspury is in second place with a total of fifty-six......"
Ravenwood is forty-three in total and is in ninth place.
It has become clear that the difference between them is seventeen, and this is an insurmountable gap.
Grant laughed, and the people around him also cast envious glances, and the 10,000 gold coins were in hand.
"Leon, prepare the money, or you can pay the bills, I don't care. Grant came up to him and said in a victorious manner.
Leon glanced at him: "When the bet is over, do whatever you want, and no one will regret it." ”
He believed that York's gain must not be low, but it was almost impossible to surpass the opponent's seventeen, and if the opponent's last man only hit ten, he would need more than twenty-seven to win, which required every arrow not to miss.
The bet you made yourself, if you lose, you lose, no wonder others.
Time continued to pass, and all the teams except York's team had returned to camp.
"Is that knight of yours hiding for fear of being embarrassed?" said Grant.
"Why don't you say it's your people hiding. Emma was so angry that she was going to give him a javelin if she messed with her.
"Hmph, wait and see. "People stopped talking.
It's getting darker and darker, and soon the deadline is approaching, and the end seems to be doomed.
Leon doesn't care so much about winning or losing now, and is worried that York will have an accident on the way, otherwise how could they not come back until now, according to yesterday's events, when hiding in the grass to hunt, it is possible that others will be injured by mistake, or deliberately injured, these are all uncertain things.
Emma's brows furrowed, and there was a look of worry in her eyes, although York was not so liked, but he was a member of Ravenwood, and he had saved himself, and he didn't want to see him have an accident.
Albert of White Mist City stood up: "It seems that they can't come back, so they don't have to waste time waiting, and the final result shouldn't change." ”
There are many people who support it, and they have been waiting for a long time, so there is no need to wait any longer.
The soldier looked into the distance: "It looks like a figure, yes, they have finally returned." ”
York finally showed up in the camp at the last minute.
It's just that York was covered in bruises, there were a lot of blood stains on his face, and the whole person was in a bit of a confused state, and he couldn't stand on his feet just after getting off the horse.
Leon and the others rushed over to hold him up, and he questioned the servants on the side, "What happened?"
"Not long after the afternoon, he fell down a steep slope and fell on a gravel beach in order to hunt. The servant replied in a low voice, fearing that he would be in trouble.
"Why don't you send it back in time?" Leon was really angry, did he have to wait for someone else to hunt at this time.
"It's him, and he insists on not coming back. "The servant is really wronged, and he has no right to decide the knight's choice.
Leon asked Asda to send him to a tent for treatment, and it would take him more than ten days to recover from such a serious injury without Riley's treatment.
Grant stood in front of the crowd and said, "Now announce the results." ”
"Hampshire XI. ”
The crowd erupted in applause, and now the difference was twenty-eight, and there was no need to read it anymore.
"Ravenwood, fifteen plus fifteen?" the announcer was dumbfounded, thirty in all, no one could do it.
According to this account, York hunted fifteen small prey and five large prey, for a total of thirty.
In the end, Ravenwood took a two-point lead.
"Fake, it must be fake. Unable to accept this, Grant grabbed the servant by the collar and forced him to tell the truth.
"Your people have always been there, I don't dare to talk nonsense. The servant begged for mercy.
The knights who accompanied him were silent, and those who had seen him hunt had nothing to say.
"The knight said that if he came back unconscious, he asked me to convey a word." The servant was tugged at by the collar and said with an innocent expression.
"What?"
"But that's it. ”
