Chapter 137 First Round

The time soon came to the day of the knight spear competition. Rhodes had trained for this competition for a long time in the past few days, and now his riding skills are much more proficient.The importance of riding skills in this era is much higher than that of driving skills on Earth. It is normal for rich people on Earth not to drive, but in this world, if an aristocrat cannot ride a horse, he will be ridiculed by many people.

The knight spear competition is still held in the arena of the team competition, and the pattern of each competition may be different. The preliminaries of the previous competition were held for eight days, and there were two competitions every day. The two teams let them face off, and the person who fell off the horse will be counted as eliminated. In the end, if one side is completely eliminated and there are still a few people left on the other side, they will be allowed to compete freely in the field, and the last remaining person will enter the final.

The 16 people who entered the final will face off in the most traditional way, which is to let two riders hold wooden spears and shields to charge against each other as in A Song of Ice and Fire. There is a fence between them to separate them, and then turn the horse's head. Continue to charge against each other, just like this round after round of competition, until someone falls off the horse.

It may be that the Duke is too lazy to think of new tricks, so this time he just followed the rules from last time.

"Relax, we didn't expect you to get the ranking, as long as you don't get injured." Baron said, patting Rhodes on the shoulder.

Today Rhodes wore the previous suit which looked good alone, but it was ugly when paired with the dragon scale armor. Outside the armor, he also wore a brown linen robe to cover the armor inside. There are also patterns embroidered with golden thread, and coupled with the knight helmet he is wearing now that only reveals a pair of eyes, the whole person looks like a young nobleman.

Misel, who was a little bored, besides helping Rhodes to make the linen robe he is wearing now, also made a white cloth robe for her war horse, only revealing a pair of eyes. A golden cross was embroidered on the top of the horse's head. Although it didn't cost much in total, a coat made the whole horse look a lot better.

Rhodes stood in the crowd with his robed warhorse, which was a bit out of place with the poor-looking mercenary cavalry and freeriders around him.

"I'm not too nervous." Rhodes yawned. People are really strange creatures. They know that there are important things the next day, but they are so excited that they can't sleep at night.He didn't fall asleep until early in the morning, and he didn't have much energy to go to the game early in the morning.

What he got was the game in the morning of the first day, and he didn't know if it was good or bad.

"Then let's go to the stands to see your performance." After Baron finished speaking, he walked towards the stands, where Michelle and Hamer had already sat and waited for the start of the game.

After waiting idly for a while, the gate opened, and Rhodes led the horse into the arena, took the round-headed wooden spear handed over by others, turned over and stepped on the horse, and those who were with him Arranged in a row.

There were more than 3000 knights participating in this knight's long spear competition. It was divided into 200 games, that is, there were more than 100 people in each game, so there were more than 200 people in each team. It is still very spectacular to look down on the hedge of more than [-] cavalry from a high place.

At that time, Baron and the others almost failed to buy tickets. Later, a nobleman sold Baron and his team champions a favor and gave them three tickets.With three tickets, a group of good people was attracted, and the business was not a loss at all.

Today's sunshine is not bad, unlike the day of the team finals, it was still raining heavily.Rhodes observed the two people around him. The rider on the left was wearing dirty armor and messy hair. He looked a bit downcast. He should be a free rider running around.

And on Rhodes' right hand should be a noble knight, wearing bright silver armor, with a white cloak on his back, and a shield with a daffodil pattern on his hand, this should be his family's clan Hui, Rhodes doesn't know much about nobles, and he doesn't know which family he belongs to.

A short horn sounded, which was the preparation horn before the start of the race, reminding the riders on the field to get ready and the race was about to start.

Rhodes put down the visor on the helmet, and now he only has a pair of eyes exposed.When the two teams charge and collide, they can only use the spears and shields in their hands, they cannot use magic, and their combat skills can only be used to increase themselves. Neither are allowed.

Rhodes felt that this rule was against him, but luckily he had an iron cloth shirt with a golden bell cover, and his resistance was full.

A long horn sounded, and the game officially started. Rhodes was a little nervous, feeling that the palms inside the steel gauntlets were constantly sweating.

The riders on both sides urged the horses to charge forward, and Rhodes also let the horses run forward. The distance between the two teams was not short enough for the horses to increase their speed. Blows on his helmet, blinding his eyes.

As the distance got closer, Rhode raised his funny shield with his left hand to protect his body, and with his right hand, he picked up a round-headed wooden spear and stabbed forward fiercely.

Not beyond Rhode's expectation, the wooden spear bypassed the rider's shield and broke on his armor, but the huge impact caused the man to fall from the horse.

At the same time, a lance hit Rhode's shield, and his legs clamped tightly on the horse's belly to prevent himself from falling from the horse.

Throwing away the broken lance with his right hand, Rhodes unleashed his Taizu Long Fist and hit the man who ran up to him. The dense crowd made it impossible for him to avoid it, and his fist with the iron glove hit the man's iron-clad shield On the ground, the strength of the fist and the impact of the horse made the man fall backwards on his back and fell off the horse.

The rules of the game did not say that fists cannot be used.

The confrontation between the two teams was only for a short moment, and soon the two teams rushed to the opposite side of each other. Several people twisted their bodies and stabbed back with their lances, causing several unsuspecting people to fall from their horses.

Rhodes stopped the horse, turned the horse's head, took over a new round-headed lance, adjusted his breathing, and prepared for the next round of charge.

After each round of charging, someone will come to provide new lances to the riders whose lances have been broken, and someone will run to remove those who have just fallen from their horses and their horses in the middle of the arena.

Rhode observed for a while, at least half of the people were eliminated in the round of charge just now, and now there are only a dozen or so people left on both sides.Every person who was eliminated was seriously injured. If they fell from a horse without any clothes, they might break their bones. What's more, they were wearing such heavy armor that many of them were lying on the ground unable to move.The worse ones were trampled on by horses, and blood seeped from their armor, lying on the ground moaning in pain.

If Michelle was smart enough, he would treat these people for a fee. They relieved their injuries and saved their lives, and Michelle also made money, which is considered a fair deal. Rhodes is waiting boredly for the next round to start think of...
