The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 96 Knights Melee (please collect, please recommend)

In the morning of the next day, people were warmed by the winter sun, there was no cloud in the sky, and the wind was not strong. It was definitely a good weather for outdoor activities.So almost the entire city of Camelot was dispatched to the arena outside the city.This is the venue for the knightly melee.

Because there were too many people watching the battle, all previous knight melee matches were held outside the city.

In the arena, more than 100 fully armed knights were divided into two groups, on the left and right sides of the arena.Even though the arena was crowded with people and the noise was loud, the arena remained silent. Since these knights dared to participate in the melee, they were naturally extremely confident in their riding skills.Most of the knights controlled their horses very well, allowing them to maintain a basic formation amidst such a loud noise.

These knights are all in full body armor, and their weapons can only use unopened long swords and shields.In order to maintain the fairness of the melee, the knights did not have their own coat of arms representing their identities, and even the crowns were provided by the conference on their own initiative, with similar styles, just to prevent anyone from colluding and violating the fairness of the melee.

So the more than 100 knights all looked similar. Although it looked a little monotonous, the gathering of more than 100 heavy cavalry was also very majestic.This is one of the reasons why people like knight melee, at least the scene looks much bigger.

Following King Uther's order, the trumpeter in the grandstand blew the horn, and the deep voice went straight into the sky.

The next moment, the knights charged. More than 100 heavy cavalry charged together. The momentum was definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The audience sitting in the stands could even feel the tremor of the ground. As the knights accelerated, the deafening hooves became more and more loud. Neatly, it was as if a big drum sounded in everyone's ears, and everyone's hearts were wrapped in this unique frequency, beating along with the frequency of the horseshoe.

Accompanied by a huge roar, two metal waves crashed into each other without reservation.

The knights collided in the middle of the arena, and the first collision almost eliminated nearly 30.00% of the players.In the first collision, they were either dismounted by the enemy, or they lost control of their horses and fell.

But no one cares what these people are like. People are all looking at the knights fighting on horseback.After the first collision, the two columns of knights lost their formation, and they mingled together. Everyone raised their weapons and slashed at the people around them as much as possible. At the same time, they also tried their best to prevent themselves from being attacked. , the attack may come from the front or from the side.Anyone who comes before them now is an enemy.

Seeing this scene, the violent factor of the audience was aroused. They cheered and vented, as if they were also a member of the melee. Whenever a knight was shot down, it would attract many piercing screams, as if they were beaten. The ones who fell to the ground were the same as themselves, and it seemed that they were so devoted.

Looking at these fanatical people, Kai always has a sense of unreality.

The vast majority of these people are honest citizens. They used to look submissive, and they would bow and salute when they saw nobles and knight lords far away. Like, a mouthful of foul language and slang.With a frantic expression, he yelled at those noble knights and lords, wishing he could end up in person and fight the knights for [-] rounds.

The contrast is too great.

Maybe because, this is the only time they can put themselves above the knight lord?
……

The melee of more than 100 knights looked magnificent, but in fact, the number of people decreased very quickly. In less than 3 minutes, fifty or sixty knights had been rescued by peripheral soldiers regardless of the danger.At least half of them were trampled by war horses, and thanks to the Celtics' natural physique, no major tragedy happened, but even so, ten people died of trampling.

Gaius was already in a hurry at this time. He led the pharmacists summoned from Camelot to shuttle among the wounded to see which ones could not be saved and which ones could still be rescued.After Gaius touched the wounds of several knights, his face immediately changed.

He found some unusual wounds, some obviously caused by sharp weapons, and some knights' armor was even directly cut.This is definitely not a wound that ordinary weapons can leave, but the problem is that knights are not even allowed to bring the long swords that lead into the arena. How can such sharp weapons appear?
Thinking of this, Gaius called the pharmacists summoned from the city to save people, and turned to report the incident to King Uther.

……

Arthur rode on the horse and slashed at a knight who wanted to attack him with his sword. Although he was holding a blunt weapon in his hand, the huge force still made the knight fall off the horse.

In a knight melee, generally speaking, if the knight is dismounted, he is basically out of the game.Although there is no such provision in the rules, most knights follow this unspoken rule.Because in the melee of the knights, the knights were all dressed in tin cans.Dressed like this and fell under the horse, he basically became a living target for other people.

So Arthur didn't pursue the victory, but the moment he turned his head, a long sword flew out from nowhere.It hit his helmet all at once.Perhaps because the battle was too fierce, Arthur's helmet came loose and was knocked off by this blow.

This is great, everyone knows he is Arthur.

The audience was also surprised that their own prince also participated in the knight melee!Thinking about the fact that the prince has already won the knightly joust, has qualified for the finals of the lance competition, and now participated in the knightly melee, it is obvious that Arthur wants to win the title of champion knight!
So the cheers immediately shook the sky.

Of course, the cheers represented the people's support and love for Arthur, but in this environment, it was completely pitting Arthur.

The knights who were still fighting were reminded by the audience, they immediately found Arthur, and immediately made him the number one target. In an instant, more than five knights were eyeing our Prince Arthur.

Fortunately, as a prince, Arthur still has a little bit of privilege.Because the knights of Camelot also participated in the melee. Although their number was not large, seeing their prince being besieged, these knights immediately left their opponents decisively and attacked the knights who besieged Arthur.

It is a pity that the number of Camelot knights does not have a numerical advantage over competitors from other places. On the contrary, they are still at an absolute disadvantage in number. After all, this is a competition against the entire Celtic nation. Compared with a single country, the participating knights may have an advantage in number, but compared with the entire Celtic countries, their disadvantages are very obvious.
