You'll have to give me an explanation," the mercenary leader glared at the employer in front of him, without any respect between his words, "I punish my men with my fists, but I only do it when they deserve to be beaten, and I don't let anyone else do it for me." ”

The fat mayor sneered. He had no idea that this would turn out to be the case. Obviously, he just brought a few substitute knights to replace those mercenaries, but who knew that those substitute knights would use such a "direct" way to make those mercenaries unable to compete.

"I'll compensate you......" Glancing at a few mercenaries covering their waists and standing unsteadily, the fat mayor gritted his teeth and said, "...... And your men, each of whom can get fifty opal emerald coins. Twice as much as yours. ”

The mercenary group snorted coldly, "We only need half of the gem coins, and the other half will be exchanged for full-body plate armor, healing potions, and thirty tamed thoroughbred horses—half for males and half for females." ”

Because the rakes had previously attacked the gnomes' financial system in Emerald Wood, they had also developed some suspicions about the shiny gnome-issued currency. So, for the sake of safety, he asked for a physical thing instead.

"Regiment Commander, those guys have a bit of a problem," even if you can get a generous compensation, but after all, you have suffered a loss, how can Lao Ai, as the deputy head of the regiment, have a good impression of those guys. He approached his head and reminded softly, "They don't seem to be human. ”

In addition to the soft ears, the exiled mayor of Soft Maple City has actually quite good ears. Therefore, he heard Lao Ai's reminder. "They're certainly not ordinary people, they're humanoid weapons that the Dwarf Island has lent us," he continued, explaining, "they're electric monks. ”

With the introduction of the fat mayor, the "people" who hid themselves in the linen hooded pullover all raised their heads, revealing a strange face covered in swirling patterns. "What the is this monster!" the mercenary captain snapped and drew his sword.

There was no doubt that he was a little intimidated by the electric monks. The other party's face has no facial features at all, only in the position of the right eye, there is a small hole that flashes red light. The electric monks resemble zombies that crawl out of their graves after they have died, and their skin is an unhealthy lead gray color.

"The Electric Monks are the most loyal monks under the crown of Stim on Dwarf Island, and they have dedicated their lives to the 'gods of virtual games'," the fat mayor pointed his palm at the hooded men, "and they are also the first humans to believe in that god." ”

The mercenary leader hissed and gasped. Although he had heard of the god that the gnomes on the dwarf island believed in, he had never known that a human had ever believed in that being, and he did not expect that this group of human believers would become such a 'neither human nor ghost'.

"It's only been one day in the world, and it's been a thousand years in the virtual game," the fat mayor continued, "These 'forerunners' have been training in the virtual game for more than three years, and each of them is proficient in a variety of fighting techniques, including horse combat. At the same time, they are also the priests of the gods, capable of performing all kinds of powerful divine arts, and they are the strongest aid provided by the soft maple city of Dwarf Island!"

Hearing his praise, the electric monks still didn't react, and they didn't have any intention of preparing for the next group battle: saddle sheaths, bridles, and horse's belly straps...... Even the weapons they didn't inspect in person, as if everything was in order.

"I hope it's the same as the fat man," the mercenary leader carefully touched the handle of the riding spear with his palm to check for any cracks on the handle, "If they pull their crotch halfway, I will be planted directly under the war horse, and it is much better to play dead than to fight that kind of monster!"

Unlike the morning competition, in addition to the salute fired at the sky, out of respect for Mayor Green, those ceremonial guards also blew the horns and trombones. In the melodious sound of the trumpet, the two sides participating in the contest lined up from the silk tent one after another.

On Green's side, he rode a brown war horse at the front, and about half a body behind him, there was a knight dressed in black armor and riding a black horse, the Broken Bear Head rode a tango and followed closely behind, the broken teeth of the mastodon had been repaired by the Adamantite Rings, and the remaining three knights were iron guards who had been vassals of the Green family since childhood, wearing the dark green armor unique to the high-ranking generals of Emerald Wood City.

Walking to the middle of the arena, Green raised his right hand with the iron lobster gauntlet, and the whole team stopped in unison. They were ready, as long as Green gave the order, the seven knights would change into a wedge-shaped array with the crushed bear's head as the arrow, and directly crush the opponent.

It didn't take long for the tent opposite the tournament to be lifted by some attendants. The leader is the mercenary captain who replaced the fat mayor in the next game, he has now been made a knight by his employer, although he has not yet been fiefdomed, but he also belongs to the lowest aristocratic class among Ramsey.

The mercenary leader was fully armed, wearing a suit of fine iron plate armor, holding a round shield in his left hand and a six-foot-long war spear in his right hand, reinforced with steel bars on the handle. He also wore shoulder pads and throat guards, and the round iron helmet on his head had only a thin slit in front of him that could be observed.

The knights behind him attracted the attention of everyone in the stands, including the arena. The men were clad in brown linen hooded cloaks, and judging by the bulging size of their bodies, they were supposed to be just chainmail coverings. They did not hold long weapons or shields in their hands, but only held two short-handled spears, which looked particularly like throwing weapons, and looked particularly shabby.

"This is what the gnomes do?" Dequis, in the stands, narrowed his eyes, not so much as the other spectators were judged by their appearance, but with interest the magic aura that flashed on the "people", "Send a group of priests who are shrouded in divine grace?"

At this moment, the loudspeaker at the top of the stands rang out, and the dwarf host announced to all the spectators: "Due to the physical condition of the knights on the Soft Maple side before the game, the contestants have been temporarily replaced. Now I announce that the knight jousting tournament is now officially underway!"

With this announcement, Green's right hand, which had been raised, was immediately thrown down. The seven knights of Emerald Wood City quickly changed formations, Shattered Bear rode to the front of the line on a mastodon tango, and the other six knights formed a standard wedge array behind him.

"Charge!" Green yelled. The mastodons raised their noses and screamed in the sky, and they were the first to charge at the opposite side.
