The first horse sprint contest is about to begin.

The two knights, who had been confirmed by lot, began to crouch in the center of the dueling arena.

A fence was erected in the center of the field, not long, but large enough for the horses to raise their legs and charge.

There are also referees chanting the names of the knights on both sides of the audience to warm up the scene.

The knights' retinue handed them wooden improvised rifles, and the knights took them and clenched them, staring at each other.

This kind of riding gun is specially used for personnel training and competitions, anyway, when the two horses sprint, the riding gun pokes the object, and the front will explode.

The spear head exploded, canceling out some of the impact, making both knights feel better.

Everyone is fully armed, and with a riding gun that will explode if you poke it, it doesn't look dangerous.

In fact, it is not true, the exploding spearhead wooden thorn will penetrate the gap in the knight's armor, which is also very dangerous.

Anyway, some knights have been stabbed to death by exploding wooden spikes.

Not to mention the impact of the riding spear, the stabbed knight fell off his horse, and if his foot was still in the stirrups, he had to be dragged by the horse, which was called pain.

Phil didn't know much about the rules of knightly competitions, so she couldn't help but ask Blanche beside her.

"I thought that knight jousting was a simple solo fight."

"Of course not, there are actually a lot of rules, and the rules of each knight's competition are different."

Blanche explained for Phil.

"For example, the rules of this competition are mainly based on scoring points."

"The knights on both sides raise their shields and hold guns to hedge, and the cavalry spears pierce the opponent's shield without adding points, but add two points to the chest and shoulders, and the first to get three points wins."

"In special cases, you can also score points if you pierce the opponent's shield, for example, if one side hits the opponent's shield, but the other side's rifle sprint attack misses, then the side that pierces the shield will get one point."

"Of course, there is also the most direct condition for victory, that is, regardless of whether you ride a spear or a shield, if you directly charge the opponent and drop the opponent from the horse, then you will win directly."

After listening to the rules explained by Blanche, the intelligent Phil understood it directly.

"That means, every rifle sprint, the charge will basically not exceed three rounds?"

"Pretty much, anyway, there is a phenomenon that the two sides have been empty, or the two sides have been shielding, but it is relatively rare."

While the two were talking, the knights on both sides were ready to charge.

Phil and Blanche also quieted down, watching the first game of the knight's joust carefully.

The presiding officer held the flag in his hand high and gave the command.

The horses' hooves were restless, and the crowd in the stands couldn't help but be nervous.

With a whistle, the horses of the two knights rushed forward rapidly, stirring up a puff of dust, and both sides clenched their wooden cavalry spears in their hands.

Ride the gun from top to bottom, and aim the spear at the opponent who is sprinting!

The sound of horses' hooves echoed in their ears, and the noblewomen in the stands couldn't help but hold their breath as they watched the two sides prepare to collide together.

In the blink of an eye, the two knights converged in the center of the dueling arena.

Their wooden rifles staggered, and there was a glimpse of two loud crashes, and the sound of the head of the spear exploding.

Both knights were struck by the other's rifles and lay down on their horses.

Both sides were tied to their shields, and neither side fell off their horses.

When the two knights learned of the situation, they quickly got up and sat down, rode to the edge of the field, and shouted anxiously.

"Quick, give me the riding gun!"

At this time, the experience of the retinue is tested, the knight competition is changing rapidly, and if the retinue does not hand over the cavalry spear to the knight in time, the knight who gets the cavalry spear first can sprint towards the opponent first.

If the latter takes the gun too late, the horses will not run, and the opponent's spear will be stuck in your nose.

The noblewomen in the stands held their breath and watched nervously as the game unfolded.

And the noblewoman of her own knight, leaving behind the etiquette, couldn't help but urge and encourage.

The sound of the mount's hooves echoed in the dueling arena, which was filled with tension and excitement.

The rifle charge was accompanied by a strong impact, and the arms and bodies of both knights were under tremendous pressure.

But they steadied their horses, grabbed their newly handed rifles, and charged at them again.

The knights' spears were in the running for time, and they tried their best to keep their balance while aiming their spears at their opponents.

The horses converged again, and the horses and spears staggered.

The riding gun made a dull and shocking crashing sound!

"Bang!"

This time, there was only one sound of the rifle exploding.

The spectators in the stands couldn't help but exclaim.

I saw that the riding spear in the hand of one of the knights had exploded, and the opponent's riding spear fell to the ground unharmed.

His opponent lost his balance, twisted his body in mid-air, and threw him directly to the ground.

The defeated knight trembled in pain on the ground, but in the end he got up and slapped the ground angrily, very unwillingly.

When he was shot down and dismounted, he lost, and the armor and horses that had accompanied him for a long time had to belong to the other party.

Although it can be redeemed for money, the shame is still unacceptable.

The victorious knight raised his shield and cheered, and the noblewoman in the stands couldn't help but exclaim.

Cheers and cheers, all giving a round of applause to the victorious knight.

John was in the middle of the stands, and he was so excited that he stood up and applauded, he loved this kind of knightly game the most.

After this game, it will be Xu Siling's turn to appear.

After the clearance was over, Xu Siling rode on the horse and took the riding gun handed by An Li, the wooden riding gun is not heavy, but it is not easy for ordinary people to raise it with one hand, not to mention that when sprinting, it has to be held horizontally, and the head of the gun is aimed at the enemy.

Xu Siling shook the riding gun in his hand, it felt good, and he rode towards the center of the field.

Fei'er was stimulated by the first nervous gun hedge, but her expression remained unchanged, and she watched Xu Siling appear safely.

When Blanche saw that it was Xu Siling's turn next time, she couldn't help but speak.

"Miss Raya, it seems that you have a lot of confidence in your knights, and you don't even have any encouragement. You can look at other people, it's much more lively than you. ”

Fei'er raised her eyes to look at the other party, I really don't know if it was a coincidence or John's deliberate shady act, Xu Siling's opponent turned out to be Mrs. Stan's knight, Wilbur.

Before the game, he ran in front of him and shouted, but he didn't expect the two to meet so soon.

When Mrs. Stan saw that her knight opponent was Xu Siling, the smile on her face was not concealed at all, and a title of 'perfect knight' was about to fall into her family.

Wilbur laughed even more excitedly.

"To tell you the truth, I haven't seen my knights fight right away."

Blanche was slightly surprised: "Are you starting to worry that your knight will lose?" ”

"No, quite the opposite." Fei'er smiled confidently, her azure eyes full of confidence: "I have a lot of confidence in my knights. My knight is the best knight in this Paris, and even in this kingdom! Watch in peace, Princess Blanche, for my knights have never lost. ”

Blanche was a little surprised by Phil's attitude, and her brown eyes showed a strange color.

"Miss Raya. You have a lot of faith in your knights. ”

"I'm not afraid to tell you, Princess Blanche, my life has been full of uncertainty and anxiety since I was a child, or rather, there are only one or two things in my life that I am sure of, not much." Fei'er's immature face under her golden hair was full of firmness: "Although it is not much, it is enough to resist all kinds of impermanence in the world!" ”

Blanche was completely shocked by Phil's attitude.

Whether it is her eyes or smile, it does not hide her confidence and trust in Xu Siling.

This kind of trust that is full of bones has made Blanche unable to calm down for a long time.

She is saying that Xu Siling is one of the most undoubted people in her life.

Blanche couldn't help but wonder, what kind of knight could make his lord trust so firmly?

The pair of gloomy brown eyes that were amazed couldn't help but fall on Xu Siling's indifferent silhouette of riding a horse.

Xu Siling was not in a hurry or impatient, held a shield and raised a gun, came to the end of the guardrail in the center of the field and rode a horse, waiting for the competition to begin.

Wilbur, on the other hand, was as excited as an orangutan, and instead of holding a spear, he raised the flag of Earl Stan's house and began to ride around the dueling arena and wave it.

This wildness caused the noblewomen in the stands to cheer.

Even John was infected and stood up and applauded.

He is too optimistic about Xu Siling, and now he can see him compete with others, and he is more excited than anyone else.

Compared with Wilbur's crazy restlessness, Xu Siling can be described as too quiet, even too quiet.

The stands were cheering, and the opponents were cheering around the dueling arena.

And Xu Siling rode quietly at one end of the guardrail, without any movement, it seemed that no matter how loud Wilbur shouted, he couldn't affect him in the slightest.

"Was this 'perfect knight' scared? Why didn't there be any reaction at all. ”

"I guess I was scared."

"I've heard of the Wilbur knight of the Stan family, who is famous in Paris for his spear riding skills!"

The other female nobles didn't have too good expectations for Xu Siling's quietness.

Although he was called the 'perfect knight of the kingdom' by John, he had never seen the strength, especially in the face of the clamor and was so indifferent.

Compared to others, it is simply a head weaker in terms of momentum.

Unlike other female nobles, in Blanche's eyes, Xu Siling is different.

Blanche had to admit in her heart that she really had a good impression of Xu Siling's indifferent temperament.

Just like the kind of person who is experiencing strong winds and waves, but is calm as if it was just raining and wetting his trouser legs, such a person has a firm and resolute character, which gives him a kind of calm and unhurried strength, which is very secure and makes people feel unhurried.

Wilbur finished his arrogance, returned to his position, picked up his riding gun, and met Xu Siling at the other end of the guardrail.

The referee saw that the two sides were ready, and shouted at this time.

"Both sides are ready!"

"On my left-hand side is the 'Perfect Knight of the Kingdom' from the Raya family, Xu Siling!"

"And on my right hand is the knight from House Stan, Wilbur Luke!"

"I would like to briefly remind you distinguished guests that this Wilbur Luke has participated in eighteen competitions in the rifle competition and has only lost once!"

Wilbur heard the referee tell him about his record, smiled and greeted the noblewomen in the stands.

Other female nobles didn't know all about knight competitions, but now that they have a referee to explain, they suddenly understand.

A knight from the countryside who was born as an executioner, without any record of military records, and on the other side was a famous knight of Paris, who was of orthodox origin, received regular military training, and lost only once in nearly twenty rifle competitions!

This apparent difference in strength surprised everyone.

Xu Siling was not affected in the slightest, he held the riding gun and quietly waited for the referee to give instructions.

Just as the referee raised the flag, the entire dueling arena couldn't help but fall silent.

There was no one to talk to in the dueling arena, so quiet that everyone could only hear the sound of the wind blowing.

In this duel, if Xu Siling loses, it means that the so-called 'perfect knight' title given to Xu Siling by John II is false, and Xu Siling is not worthy of this title at all.

And the title of 'Perfect Knight' will go to the Stan family!

With the referee's whistle, the flag fell.

Wilbur shouted angrily, raised his shield and dropped his gun, and rode towards Xu Siling.

Xu Siling is the same, unlike Wilbur's arrogance, he is extremely calm.

There was a sense of familiarity that he had never used a riding spear, but it was the same as the first time he had used an English longbow.

Even though he had never used an English longbow, he still knew how to aim and where to aim.

And now the same is true with a riding gun!

Ann Li's horse shook up clouds of dust and headed towards Wilbur, and the coat was extremely bright in the sun.

Xu Siling dropped the gun, skillfully clamped the riding gun under his armpit, and aimed the gun at Wilbur, who was coming towards him.

His brown eyes narrowed, Wilbur's gun was obviously aimed at his chest, and he didn't want to poke the shield, which was very arrogant.

However, Wilbur's behavior made him full of loopholes in Xu Siling's eyes!

The wind rose sharply, and the sound of horses' hooves was deafening.

Xu Siling and Wilbur are like fierce beasts with opposite spearheads, sprinting hard, and the speed of both sides is getting faster and faster!

Everyone in the dueling arena held their breath.

Xu Siling held the shield and bent his body, and the head of the spear was crooked.

In the blink of an eye.

The figures of the two sides on horseback completely met in the center of the field.

"Bang!"

The sound of a rifle exploding.

and

A figure that flies through the air and spins until it transforms.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment, and everyone watched this scene in amazement.

Wilbur was shot down and dismounted!

How can it be?

Wilbur only felt like he was out of the horse's grasp, his body spinning in the air, and then he fell hard to the ground.

The noblewomen in the stands first let out an exclamation, and then a cacophony of excitement and shock sounded!

How can it be!

Ninety-five percent of the people in the stands tacitly agreed that Xu Siling would lose, but they didn't expect Wilbur to lose.

And even if you lose, you lose so directly and completely!

Wilbur lay on the ground, twitching slightly, unable to stand up for a while, and he felt that most of his body was numb.

It's not just that the impact is too strong, including flying and falling in the air, which makes him choke enough.

Finally relented, he got up and realized that he had lost

His body was filled with a sense of humiliating anger, how could he never have imagined that he would lose?

He got up with difficulty, looking for Xu Siling's figure, and when Xu Siling rode by, he knelt directly at Xu Siling and spread his hands.

Wilbur's expression was full of anger and reluctance.

Fei'er tried to maintain a confident and calm face, but in fact, she was so excited that she was happy to death.

After seeing Wilbur's bizarre behavior, Phil wonders.

"What's wrong with him, after being defeated by my knights, he admits defeat and surrenders?"

Blanche explained with a smile.

"No, it was Knight Wilbur who was unwilling, knelt down on his knees, and asked Xu Siling to dismount and duel him." (End of chapter)
