The Young Knights of the Bridge Country officially began on the seventh day after Richard's arrival. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The total event of the competition is divided into two events, one is a single competition and the other is a team competition. There are countless small items under each item here, such as the single competition is divided into: dismount foot combat one-handed weapon duel, dismount foot combat two-handed weapon duel, mounted combat fighting skills, riding spear competition, use fighting spirit, command and subordinate combat, and so on. Team operations are divided into: team dismount and foot battle, team horse operation, team horseback charging drill, team attack and defense drill, etc.

Points are awarded for each knockdown or key part of the event in all events, and at the end, each event is rounded, with the highest score being the champion.

Richard followed Androni to the valley where the competition was held, only to see that the huge valley had been divided into countless arenas. The first is to fight alone, which lasts about 7 days, and then it will be a team battle, which is also estimated to be completed in 7 days. So the whole tournament will last for half a month, and if you add the subsequent celebrations, it will take about a month.

Looking at the crowded, lively and noisy venue, Richard was also excited, this is a platform to prove his knightly value. Any knight with enthusiasm and dreams wants to perform on this stage.

Androni pointed to a high platform in the audience and said to Richard, "That's the stand of the royal family of the bridge, and the princess may be in the stands on match day." ”

Richard looked towards the stand, and sure enough, it was heavily guarded, and there were many nobles of the Bridge Country who were dressed in rich poties. After looking at it for a while, he said to Androni, "Which one is the king of the Bridge Country?"

Androni burst out laughing and said to Richard, "The king will not come now, only at the closing ceremony of the tournament." Now it's up to his younger brother to preside over the opening and the competition. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a nobleman sitting in the center. Richard nodded understandingly.

"Your Highness Androni, I'm sorry, I'm late, there's been too much going on late......" The official of the Bridge Country, who had first received Androni and the others, wiped the sweat on his head and ran towards Androni and the others.

"Your Highness, you don't need to participate in the qualifiers for the solo competition, you can go directly to the shortlist. Please come with me, and I'll take you to the stand to rest. ”

Androni seemed to have an understanding of this rule, and was about to follow the noble official to the stand, but a dissatisfied voice came out: "Why didn't he participate in the qualifiers and enter directly." ”

When the aristocratic official heard this, his face flickered with embarrassment, and he turned to look at the person who was following His Highness Androni. Of course, this person is thundering.

The aristocratic official said to Lei Xiang: "Ahem, the knights who personally sent the invitation letter to our Bridge Country can not participate in the qualifiers. Because these knights have been recognized by us in terms of strength, family background, and knightly virtues, they can be directly shortlisted. ”

Lei Xiang said disdainfully: "Then what is that guy called Pedro Garcia, who also received your invitation, and can also be shortlisted directly?

At this point, the officials of the country of bridges were a little embarrassed, and then said angrily to Lei Xiang: "If you are a powerful principality heir, you can also be directly shortlisted." After saying that, he turned around and continued to lead Androni, ignoring the thunder again.

"Cut, to put it bluntly, it's not a privileged society. This is the root of imperialism. Don't force buddy, buddy is on fire, and there's a red storm here. Lei Xiang continued to spat disdainfully.

Richard quickly stopped the thunder and shook his head vigorously at him.

Coming to the stand reserved for Androni, there were already some nobles from the Rhine Confederation sitting on it. When he saw Androni coming, he immediately stood up and saluted, calling out to His Highness. Lei Xiang looked left and right, but he didn't see Pedro Garcia's figure, and said to himself, "Did that guy really roll on his own?" ”

"Your Highness, have you formed a team for the team competition? If you do, tell me and I'll submit it for you. Please decide within today. ”

When Androni heard this, she immediately turned to look at Richard and said, "Richard, let's team up for a team game." ”

Richard naturally nodded in agreement, but there was a dishonest comrade beside him, and Lei Xiang spoke again: "Take me! Take me! There are five places in total!"

Androni looked at the thunder, not knowing what to think, but finally nodded. There are still two people missing (don't ask why you didn't bring Kaya, Kaya has no noble status, her identity is Richard's servant), and Androni was about to find one of the nobles from the Rhine Alliance behind her, when she saw a young knight with several squires coming up from under the stands.

The young knight motioned for his attendants to wait at the top of the staircase, walked up to Androni, gave him a very standard aristocratic salute, and said, "Hello, Your Highness Androny. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Matthew Norton, and I am from the Golden Lion Kingdom of the Golden Alliance in the Golden Plains. ”

After listening to his self-introduction, Androni's face froze slightly, remembering the feud between the Rhine League and the Golden Alliance. He looked at the young and vigorous young knight in front of him, thinking that he had come to find fault, but despite this, the aristocratic cultivation still made Androni return the salute and said, "Hmm...... Matthew Norton, explain where you came from. ”

Matthew Norton turned his head to look at Richard beside Andronie, and then continued: "I think His Royal Highness Androni and this Richard Knight have formed a team, right?"

Richard was a little surprised, how did this man know himself? Androni said quietly, "Yes." Do you have something to do with Richard?"

"Ah...... It's something. Matthew Norton groaned, took a step forward, and said, "I have a reluctant request, Your Highness, to allow me to join your team." ”

Neither Andronie nor Richard expected this person to come here for this purpose. The two glanced at each other, and both saw puzzlement in each other's eyes. Androni wondered if this man was supposed to find fault with the plot, and Richard thought that this man was here to make trouble for herself.

Eventually, Androni asked, "Why?"

Matthew Norton smiled and said to Richard, "Owen Norton is my brother. ”

Richard suddenly remembered the guy who drank a glass of Bloody Mary every day. The guy came to talk to Richard when he was fine, and he chatted with each other. Although not a friend, Richard did not hate him. But he didn't know what he meant by letting his brother team up with him.
