On the morning of the second day, the scorching sun was scorching and unforgiving, and there was no trace of autumn at all.

Waves of shimmering heat were baked from the white stones of the dairy, the smell of dried earth and trampled grass was in the air, and there was not a breeze to stir the low-hanging green, white and yellow banners of the main fort and gatehouse.

The knight squires in the pen were already dizzy, and they began to scrub their mounts for their knights early in the morning. In addition to the hot weather, it seems that the atmosphere of the day is being felt, and many of the horses are angry.

While the squires tightened their bellies for their horses, the horses shook their heads vigorously in resistance, and even showed their huge square molars to these people they had known each other in the past, or snorted at them with a "protruding" sound.

The railing of the jousting arena has been erected, right next to the Grey Tower built by the gnomes. A three-story wooden stand was erected on the wall, and the top floor was full of boxes built by the gnomes, which were used to allow the dignitaries from the dwarf island, as well as the mayors and lords who were represented by the knights, to sit on the cool padded seats and watch the knights compete. There were a number of tents at both ends of the arena where the knights would wear their armour, and spare wooden spears had been placed on the railings for the knights to replace.

Unlike in the past, during the Knights' Tournament, the gnomes allowed the civilians of Emerald Wood to come and watch. So in the open space next to the tournament ground, there are now many crowds of people watching the excitement, as well as vendors doing business. Some jugglers also perform here, some throwing torches and some somersaults.

Troubadours also choose to show off their singing skills here, singing slang songs such as "The Bear and the Beautiful Young Woman", and many citygoers also beat their voices to cheer them. When the song reached its climax, many people shouted, "This bear! Dog bear! black and brown all over, covered in plush!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Three gun salutes sounded, announcing the official opening of the martial arts competition. First to come down were a team of warm-up riders, holding a kite-shaped shield with red and white checkered coats of arms on one side and a round shield with the coat of arms of the twin towers on the other.

Fourteen people divided into two groups, and as the salute sounded, they immediately rushed towards each other from both ends of the arena. The two horses intersected, and no one fell off their horses, but the jousting spears that touched each other's shields broke and shattered, making a crackling sound like a firecracker after it had exploded.

There was a burst of cheers from the stands, and the soldiers on duty standing next to the jousting arena shouted a few times, but the overall appearance was sparse, brief and empty. After all, this is just the opening cheering competition, and the participants are just honor guards in two small cities.

The real attraction is yet to come. Frege Ironbeard walked up to the top of the viewing platform, where there was a trumpet-like technological creation, he looked around at the bustling civilians of Emerald Wood City, and then looked at the mayors of the various Ramsay human city-states who were already seated in the stands, and said slowly in a voice that did not look like a dwarf: "The warm-up is over, and the knight competition has officially begun!"

The megaphone of the electromagnetic coil amplified his voice many times over, and the proclamation of the dwarf elder could be heard from anywhere in Emerald Wood City. The knights, who had been waiting in their tents for a long time, were gearing up to show off their skills.

The whole morning's game is for the acting knights brought by the mayor, who will take the place of Feng Jun in the afternoon team battle. Now, however, it's up to you to prove your mettle by challenging the Mechanized Chocobo Cavalry of Dwarf Island.

If they can't win, then unless their feudal lord personally goes down in the afternoon, the city he represents will be directly disqualified. And then the city they represent will become a laughing stock in the mouths of all Ramsay.

Originally, Green had made up his mind at the beginning to play in person, and he could not send an acting cavalier to participate in the morning competition. But Quest thought that would be a bit boring, and at the same time it would not deter the arrogant gnomes, so Green sent two knights to participate in the morning game. Due to Quest's strong recommendation, the candidate was chosen as a Goliath warrior.

Stroking his mount, Goliath looked a little excited. "Hard work always pays off," he said, pinching the tip of the nose of his fellow mastodon "Tango", "and I said that Master Quest would reward me with a good mount." ”

The tip of his nose was pinched, and Tango couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. But remembering the warning of the previous adult, it still obediently kept quiet, and seemed to be somewhat submissive. As a behemoth twice as tall and four times the weight of an ordinary elephant, it has its own pride—in the past, its huge tusks swept through everything until it encountered such a monster.

It was tamed by the ogre Naru, who had nothing to do with his brother Blue and hunted the giants of the hills in the mountains and forests. Because he didn't have to worry about being seen, Nalu directly lifted the spell on his body in the mountains and forests and returned to his original shape.

As a rare atavistic bloodline owner among the ogres, Naru was so strong that he didn't look like an ogre. The ordinary hill giant stood up straight, and it was only at the level of his belly, and I am afraid that only the high-ranking giants such as the Storm Giant and the Rune Giant were qualified to compare his size and body.

While wandering in the forest, Naru stumbled upon Tango and his family, and the strong ogre convinces them to become his pets by physical means. When he learned yesterday that Quest was looking for a mount for the Broken Bear, Naru generously lent Tango to the Goliath Captain to ensure he had a suitable mount.

After being warned by Naru, Tango was obediently taken to a tent. And it has been trying to keep it quiet as much as possible to cooperate with Quiz and them, preparing to send a surprise to the knights' jousting tournament today. Because of his size, there was no way for a normal squire to saddle a tango, but Broken Bear had no objection to taking care of his mount.

It's just that, if it weren't for Nalu's face, Tango didn't really like to have a "little man" dangling around him, even if he used a brush to rub the feeling of bathing him, it was actually not bad. However, the mastodon did not expect that after the "little man" rode it out of the tent, it would see many smaller "little people", and even the opponent standing opposite it was actually a "little man" smaller than the "little man".

"That's funny," said the tango, raising his nose and roaring, and then his four hooves trampled on the solid ground and rushed towards the misguided "little man" on the other side.
