Chapter 112: A Contest

Not long after the female lord sat down, she heard the court musicians blow their trumpets.

Then I saw a heavily armored and heavily armed knight in the east and west directions approaching the direction of the tournament field.

Among them, the knight from the west, with a tall figure and a majestic face, wore a suit of golden armor that looked like a god, and the shield he held in his left hand had a lifelike leopard's head painted on it.

"Sword Saint Essos, he is the first swordsman of the Godwin family and the commander of the garrison." Heloin Yin Si introduced Yin Leia.

"Who is that black-armored knight across from the Juggernaut?" Miss Rabbit wondered.

The knight from the east was somewhat mysterious, his whole body was covered in pitch-black armor, and his head was not exposed, and there were no coats of arms on his armor and shield that could represent his origin and origin.

He was about the same height as Estos, but he was a little bloated, and rode an old gray horse, which looked a little listless because there were so many people in the room.

In contrast, the jujube red horse under the sword saint's crotch looked extremely handsome.

"I don't know." The Elven Queen said.

While the two were talking, the black knight and Essos were about to meet, and the two drew their swords from their waists, and without saying a word, they fought together.

The mysterious Black Knight raised his sword above his head, rode up to the Juggernaut, and slashed Essos's left shoulder with a furious blow!

At the moment of swinging the sword, his feet stepped on the stirrups fiercely, and his calves were straight, so that when he drew his sword, he could not only use the power of his upper body, but also use part of the power of his lower body.

Essos, on the other hand, did not hesitate until the Black Knight was approaching him before he drew his sword to block his opponent's attack.

His sword-holding palm flips upwards and heads the blade towards his opponent, a move that is both offensive and defensive, not only blocking the opposing attack, but also giving the opponent a certain threat, forcing the opponent to be unable to continue the pursuit.

However, the Black Knight was very cunning, and when he saw this, he took advantage of the situation and sank his sword downward, redirecting it to Essos's calf.

However, Juggernaut reacted quickly, immediately slashing at the Black Knight's wrist, eventually forcing the Black Knight to withdraw the sword.

The two men were staggered and the first round was not a winner, after which the two men turned their heads around and faced their opponents again.

Essos is worthy of the name of the Sword Master, and his swordsmanship is quite good immediately, and he is fast and accurate in his sword, and he is especially good at parrying counterattacks.

But his opponent, the mysterious black knight, is also not weak, his swordsmanship is wide open, and he is brave, and he can actually fight with Essos.

This sudden competition attracted the attention of all the audience, and even Miss Rabbit, who was always thinking about how to open up, watched it with relish.

She had seen jousting before, and almost everyone in the Red Lion Empire was martial, and the knights of House Arias often competed against each other after banquets, and sometimes her father Ruth would also participate in them.

But maybe it's because most of that kind of competition is just a competitive nature, and it's up to the point, or maybe it's because the number of spectators is limited, in short, it's far from looking exciting in the current competition.

There are real swords on both sides, go all out. In the end, it was Essos who was superior and slashed at the black knight's breastplate with a sweep, knocking him off his horse and slamming him to the ground with the heavy plate armor.

The black-armored knight just lay motionless on the ground.

A strange look flashed in the Elven Queen's beautiful eyes, and Essos immediately stepped forward to check, but only after taking two steps, the black-armored knight got up from the ground again, and made a gesture of continuation at Ersthos.

Seeing this, the Sword Master no longer hesitated, and let his war horse speed up.

But the black-armored knight didn't have time to get on his horse at this time, so he had to fight on foot, which also made the situation even more unfavorable to him.

However, as if he didn't know what he was afraid of, he still chose to fight to the end, and his slightly embarrassed posture on the martial arts field at the moment made many people respect.

Even many of the people who originally supported Essos began to support this mysterious black knight who did not know where to come from, but was brave and unyielding.

Some nobles even had the idea of recruiting him to their command, and being able to fight the Sword Saint up to this point was enough to prove his martial prowess.

But the black knight didn't seem to be satisfied, his eyes fixed on the opponent in front of him, and he made an iron door gesture.

The next moment, Essos slapped his horse again, swung his sword and slammed at the black knight, who raised his sword to block.

The Iron Gate was already a defensive stance, so Essos may have been a little lax, thinking that the Black Knight was just trying to block the blow.

But just when the long swords of the two were about to collide, the black knight suddenly turned short, rolled on the ground, and swung his sword at the same time, but the target was not Essos, it was the war horse under him!

By the time Essos realized this, it was too late, and the red horse let out a painful wail, and one of its hind legs was cut off by the black knight!

Then the horse fell to the ground, and Estos, who was on his horse, flew out.

He was not lightly thrown this time, and he couldn't get up on the ground for a long time, and when he recovered again, he had a long sword on his neck.

"You've lost." The Black Knight spoke, taking off his helmet.

When he showed his face, the entire arena fell silent in an instant.

No one thought that the person under that black armor turned out to be the head of the Vespasian family, His Majesty Edward II, Emperor of the Empire!

"Yes, it's still your best skills, and I'm convinced." Juggernaut nodded.

Edward II laughed, put his sword back into his waist, and then stretched out a hand and pulled Essos up from the ground.

"You're not bad, the sweep before almost killed me."

After a brief silence, the tournament erupted in cheers, with the name of Edward II being shouted spontaneously.

And the emperor of the empire also felt the support of his subjects for a long time, and the cheers made him radiant, as if he were forty years younger.

He raised the sword in his hand, enjoying the moment of glory that belonged to him.

"A vulgar play." The elven queen commented, and then asked the maid to pour wine for her.

However, after Edward II defeated Essos, she also stood up and smiled and applauded her husband.

He turned his head to the female lord on the side and said, "Come on, let's make a toast to His Majesty the Heroic and Fearless Emperor!" ”
