Chapter 124: The Empire Needs Some Blood
Edward II was also watching the contest, and when Yin Leia appeared on the stage, he even stood up from his seat with a wine glass, waved his fist excitedly, and roared.
"Come on, give that kid some color and see! You've hunted a dragon! ”
Empress Heloyin frowned when she heard this.
She didn't expect that her small action was also captured by Edward II, and the emperor glanced at her, "What, do you have a different opinion?" ”
"Nope."
"Then why do you have a stinky face?"
"I'm not targeting Yin Leiya, I just think this kind of competition is too cruel, thirty people died yesterday and this morning, including seven nobles, and even more were injured."
"What kind of martial arts is it if there are no dead people?" Edward II said disapprovingly.
"It's a game for the brave, and each contestant is risking his own honor and life, and those who know all day long to talk about art and literature will not understand."
"Tournaments were forbidden by your ancestors more than four hundred years ago." The Elven Queen reminded.
"And I've revived that old tradition." Edward II proudly said, "The empire has been peaceful for too long, and the people now have lost the blood and spirit of the founding of the country."
"Look at the Weitins, they can't even rebel, Hilda is like a joke, a palace coup? How he came up with it.
"If he chooses to come straight from Cape Crab, I can look up at him. Maybe he will be able to spare the lives of his children and grandchildren after defeating him. Oh my god, we need some plasma and guts right now! That's why I'm reopening the tournament.
"I can't accept this casualty, how can I go to the battlefield in the future."
Helointh asked, "Isn't peace bad?" Everyone is now accustomed to this peaceful life. ”
"Peace will not last forever." Edward II waved his hand.
A strange look flashed in the Elven Queen's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
And by this time, Edward II's attention had long been out of her.
Because under the stands Jose has already launched a charge.
And Yin Leiya finally chose to meet the enemy with foot combat, which also made many people look surprised.
Edward II was also thinking about the deep meaning behind the girl's move, and it was at this moment that a loud bang sounded in his ears.
Then I saw that the galloping war horse under Jose's crotch suddenly fell to the ground, and even the knight with it was thrown off the horse, and then he was unlucky to be pressed by his own war horse.
Edward II's first reaction was the same as that of the vast majority of the audience, who did not understand what was going on.
He thought it was the loud noise and the inexplicable light of the fire that frightened the horse, but although the horse had been struggling since he fell to the ground, he had never been able to get up.
Instead, his movements slowly became smaller and smaller, and at the same time, a pool of blood appeared under his body.
This is...... Injured? At what time?
As Edward II's favorite contestant, His Majesty's eyes widened since her appearance, confirming that he should not have missed anything, but he still did not know how the horse fell.
Later, a herbalist came forward to check on José's injuries, and by the way, he also looked at his warhorse, and finally found a finger-thick bloody hole in the horse's chest, but no arrows were found.
Miss Rabbit had good luck today.
In fact, a creature like a horse is generally difficult to kill with one shot, and it has two Achilles' heels.
One is the brain, and the other is the heart.
But it is difficult to hit the brain, because the horse's brain is not large, and the cross-section of the head is very narrow, and the small-caliber firearm is not powerful enough to penetrate the skull.
In contrast, the heart is more reliable, but it is not so easy to aim in the move.
Miss Rabbit actually planned to hit the horse's legs at the beginning, but she ate a little bit at noon, and couldn't help but burp before shooting, and with a shake of her little hand, she didn't go through the process and killed Jose's war horse directly.
Although His Majesty the Emperor didn't understand how the girl won, this did not prevent him from cheering after coming back to his senses.
And with Edward II starting this head, the audience on the side also woke up like a dream at this time, and they shouted hello together.
As for what is good, no one can say for sure, because it is too fast.
After the referee announced the victory, Yin Leia hung the duel pistol back on her belt, returned to the stands, and saluted the emperor and empress in turn.
Edward II seemed to be in a good mood and said, "It's a pity that your opponent in the first round is still too weak for you to show your full strength, but I still want to congratulate you on your victory." ”
Miss Rabbit hits the railroad while it's hot, "Then you can arrange a more powerful opponent for me, such as the Earth Bear, and I can fight him again now, immediately." ”
"Hahahaha, yes, what I want is this kind of spiritual head, but the opponents of the competition are all determined by lottery, even I can't interfere, otherwise once this precedent is set, there will be no fairness at all."
Edward II said, "But don't worry, the more you win, the better the chance of meeting each other, let's compare, as long as you can win the final championship, in addition to the prizes you already have, I will give you a big gift." ”
Yin Leiya's ears pricked up as soon as she heard the big gift, "What kind of gift?" Money, or land? ”
"Of course there will be these, as for that big gift, let's keep it secret for the time being." Edward II winked at the maiden.
Miss Rabbit's curiosity was aroused, but seeing that His Majesty the Emperor deliberately sold Guan Zi and didn't say anything, she couldn't ask any more, so she could only scratch her head and leave first.
And as soon as she walked off the competition field, she was surrounded by people.
In addition to Ferdinand, Greymane and Orwell and others also came to watch the girl's joust.
The big guy was still worried about the female lord, but he didn't expect Yin Leiya to win so easily and so simply.
The girl said modestly, "It's all my lord's help on Saturday, well, and the Merlin Prophet and the Watt Servant, without whom I can't defeat that guy named Jose." ”
"Saturday is really strong!" Wild once again expressed his heartfelt emotion, "It can save people and hurt people." ”
"Yes, there are many benefits to being a believer in it." Yin Leia knew this very well, and she was so excited that she even said, "If I really win the championship, I'll ask Merlin for ...... Well, the hand of judgment is always on you. ”
