053. The wind blows slightly
It was a match-fixing, arranged for Bran opposite Iron Mountain.
The sword that slashed into the leather armor, the sword was not opened, and the leather armor was sandwiched with a bag of red sauce mixed with water, and after breaking the bag, it slowly penetrated the leather armor.
The audience whistled.
After Tie Shan saluted the master again, he learned the footwork that a nobleman should have, held his chest steady, looked straight ahead, and walked away from the field with grace.
"Bell (slash)!"
"Bump (bump)!"
Excluding the noise, there are basically only these two sounds that come and go.
In the third round, Tie Shan was going to meet another mercenary group of strong enemies, but this mercenary group missed, so Tie Shan met his own people.
A few swords that flowed smoothly got the cheers of the audience.
Iron Mountain was a little carried away, and when his opponent (his own) was about to surrender, he suddenly threw a punch at his lower part, and Iron Mountain wore a hard fist, which hurt the vital point, penetrated the jaw bones, and made the person fall to the ground.
The screams of the people on the ground who looked at him became more proud, and his rude and cruel personality became more and more obvious.
The perspective from the sidelines was not very clear, and Bran also thought it was a mistake, but Jack, who participated in the spear competition, looked at Iron Mountain coldly, and he knew that Iron Mountain did it on purpose.
The two had several clashes over the training of the mercenary group, and the injured were on Jack's side.
Probably, Iron Mountain will retaliate.
When the new team went up, Jack had calmed down, and he rode away to a clearing to practice, thinking that he would take the shield target in front of him as an iron mountain, and he would fiercely pick off this wild man who was recruited in the mountains and forests.
……
The nobles knew that melee martial arts were easy to get bored, and they were not as enthusiastic as the commoners.
But if it is a spear competition, it is different, it is grouped by lottery, a bunch of noble knights who are famous are difficult to buy, and the luck component is not small, the horses are frightened, and there are many things that make the master fall off the horse and lose, then the gambling is interesting.
On this day, the Iron Mountain team won three laurels woven from golden flowers, which were exchanged for a generous bounty.
There were also a few nobles who inquired about Tie Shan's origins, and after knowing that he was the leader of the mercenary group that managed hundreds of people, they didn't mention it again.
After all, it is necessary to drive a higher salary than this, not to mention that it is also a "fiefdom knight" jump.
At night, the lights are bright, and from a top tent, you can see many wandering noble children and maids or family members, on a whim...... Then enter Sage Mode.
Bran walked out of a tent, he had just looked at the wounded who had been mutilated by the Iron Mountain, it was so serious that it would be a problem for the injured to eat later.
Bran decided to put him on the newly cultivated land in the village of Rabi, where he would manage the harvest and help him start a family as compensation.
Iron Mountain became more and more proud, but he still knew who gave him food, and Bran said a word, and Iron Mountain compensated for the reward he received.
Because Iron Mountain apologized profoundly, Jack could only endure this breath.
However, Iron Mountain did this, and the scene of the Teutonic mercenary group dividing into two forces to fight against each other in the future became more and more intense.
On the second day, the gathering was half as large as yesterday, with at least 1,000 people entering the perimeter of the pasture.
Fortunately, Albert ordered in advance that no free excretion was allowed, and those who needed it should go into the deep forest next to it to solve it, otherwise the field would be full of urine smell.
Before the opening, the warriors who participated in the competition all rode out of their horses to go around, and some merry knights would ride their horses to the unmarried lady and send flowers.
From a snow-white colt with a black fetal mark on his forehead, Bran saw Jack, covered in new steel, wrapped in airtightness, and holding a wooden riding spear.
The foal's head also has a black iron plate, and the saddle is surrounded by a red ribbon and a cloth robe, which looks great when it runs.
On-site registration is still accepted until the start of the competition, so the number of participants has been changing.
When it was confirmed that no one was going to join, the drums rushed, like a war horse charging, and waves of cheers followed.
"In this round, the 'Pearson Duncan' from Rome City will face the 'Dobin Rodney Knight' from the Upper Barcelona Country."
After a master of ceremonies wearing a fur hat, spitting spitting wildly, and smelling of wine on his body, the two knights rode their horses around in place.
The iron plate of the visor to protect the eyes can be retracted and opened, and the person who enters the field will first remove it and salute the noble seat before closing it.
After the two of them finished this action, they gave each other a thumbs up, then walked back to the starting point, and then turned to confront each other.
Some aristocrats have a larger pomp, and they will have the introduction of the master of ceremonies next to them, which will be stretched several times to introduce their own doors.
There are three referees on the sidelines to judge the winner from three angles.
Because the equipment was too heavy, the knights' servants helped to balance the balance on both sides of the master.
"I'm betting on the Dorbin Rodney Knights."
"Count me in."
"Me too."
The country of Barcelona is close to Florence, and this knight of Dorbin Rodney is a well-known lover of rifle competitions, and when he hears about a match, he participates at his own expense.
And the martial arts luck is good, seven competitions in his career, no serious injuries, and because the winner can take away the armor on the loser, even if he doesn't win the championship, but the rankings are in the forefront, and the armor he gets in his hand can be sold to make up for most of his travel expenses and food expenses.
From a poor knight who inherited a few broken tiled houses and vegetable gardens, to a class that could keep a lover privately, and currently also serves as the court riding instructor of the Barça Kingdom, it is by virtue of martial arts competitions.
If no one bets, it won't be opened, the bets of the civilians in the audience are too little, Albert, as the master, is the first game, so he naturally wants to support the game, and he should come down, and at the same time let the housekeeper behind him prepare the money first.
Mrs. Meghan was not here at this time, she had long since passed her girlhood when she was in a state of force for men and was in her study, writing letters to other nobles to find a suitable alliance.
At the same time, she sighed secretly, it's a pity, if Albert still has a brother, then she can still create a bigger and stronger noble network......
Aschuklai's conditions were very high, even if he gave in to commercial interests, but he wanted more, such as installing a few Byzantines into the council of the city's nobility.
So I can only refuse this east marriage, so I will choose Liana...... When he rules half of Italy, it is not a big deal to change his family......
......
Inside the tournament venue.
Bran heard the nobleman's invitation to gamble, and he couldn't afford to lose, so he said, "I'll make up for it too." ”
He asked for sixty silver rubles to support his friend.
This is to spend money to save face, Bran and Albert looked at each other and smiled.
Bran turned to the stands, and the players were all in a majestic manner.
When the two referees on the left and right waved small flags, the people's breath was short and the fight began.
The speed of running is approaching 45 kilometers per hour, and the distance in a long straight line can be reached in a few seconds.
The wind blew slightly, the earth was quiet, and the horses' hooves splashed mud.
Under the high-speed collision, a strong momentum is generated, and the thick and long wooden gun cracks with a hard sound.
There are no fancy, meat to meat steel collisions.
Pearson's horsemanship was ordinary, and one of his servants did not hold the saddle in place, and he almost fell off his horse, and Dobin's mounted rifle missed the sight, hitting the shield in Pearson's hand, and only one point was scored.
