King of German Mercenaries

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days have passed since the new year. On January 8, Marin accompanied Adler to Oderstadt, a small town near Gelsenkirchen, and booked three rooms in the town hotel. room and three ordinary rooms for subordinates.

The reason why Marin came here a week earlier was actually to accompany Adler to inquire about his competitors. Because, on January 8, many of the knights who came to participate in the competition to recruit relatives basically arrived at Odestadt. However, there are only two hotels in town.

Fortunately, Marin had already sent someone to book a room. Otherwise, you may not be able to find a place to live. Although, Bochum is not far from Gelsenkirchen, and it's okay to come over on horseback. But Marin wanted to see the situation, so from January 8, Marin accompanied Adler to the streets of Odstadt every day, and by the way inquired about the opponent's news.

In the 15th century, knights were still very noble. Usually, as long as a knight arrives in a town like Odestadt, there is always news.

Because, according to custom, after the knight himself arrives and settles down somewhere, his entourage will usually brag about his master's illustrious name and unparalleled military exploits to others when he goes out shopping.

Therefore, as long as you go shopping on the street and inquire in the beer hall, you can gain a lot of useful information. Even many knights themselves like to go to beer halls to drink, and by the way, they brag about their great achievements with alcoholics.

Marin guessed right. At this time, Odstadt's tavern was full of knights, knight attendants, and people who heard the news and came to watch the fun.

The Germans of this era may not be as gossip as the Chinese. However, such an explosive scene as a knight competition is something that the martial Germans do not want to miss. Although, because of the conditions, the intensity of the competition is limited. But even so, it attracted a lot of people to watch.

Even, many knights had to live in tents or rent residential houses because the hotels were full and unable to stay. And those knights who came unmarried to participate in the competition to recruit relatives, like Marin and the others, like to inquire about the news of other competitors.

Even in the tavern, knights who drink too much, and other competitors, because they don't like each other, first come to What are you looking at?, What are you looking at?, Try another look! After the dog-blood dialogue, the fight began...

However, in order to avoid casualties, the old Hamler asked the contestants not to fight in Odestadt, otherwise they would be disqualified. So, everyone is doing it with bare hands. Moreover, in order to ensure knightly demeanor, it is generally a one-on-one battle between knights, and the attendants do not participate.

Marin suddenly felt a little regretful. If the attendant could participate, he promised to bring Karn, a wild bear, and a human PK. Because, with his bare hands, the powerful Kahn, even a knight who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, can beat him violently. Only when the horse was fighting could Adler be able to press Kahn's head with his skilled horsemanship. During the foot-battle, Adler was often defeated and beaten even when he was fighting, because Kahn's mace was very ruthless.

For three days in a row, Marin and Adler watched countless fights. The fight between knights, even with bare hands, is quite exciting. Although it is not as good-looking as a martial arts movie, it is also very exciting.

But from Marin's point of view, the fighting knights he had seen in the past three days were basically no match for Adler. And the big man of Adler stood there, and no knight was willing to provoke him easily.

However, by the 11th, things had changed. Another group of knights came from out of town. Among them, there are strong knights of the same order of magnitude as Adler.

So, the competition of martial arts inevitably happened...

On the night of the 11th, in a beer can next to the hotel, Adler was challenged...

The challenger to Adler was a newly arrived Saxon knight named Mavis. This person is over 1.9 meters tall,

Taller than Adler, and more muscular than Adler. The key is that this person is already twenty-eight or nine years old, and it is the peak period of a knight.

Under normal circumstances, knights have to go through more than ten years of training to qualify. The peak of knighthood generally begins around the age of twenty-five or six, and begins to decline after the age of thirty-five.

During this time period, the knight's explosive power is strong and the martial arts are skilled. Also, more fighting experience and more cunning than those knights in their 20s.

At a young age like Adler in his early twenties, his martial arts skills are not bad, but his experience and experience are a bit worse than those of the knights in their twenties.

For example, this Mavis, not only has a strong body, strong martial arts, but also a wealth of combat experience. In 1491, he also accompanied the Duke of Saxony to help Emperor Maximilian I put down the rebellion in Flanders in the Netherlands, and experienced many battles. But in that war, Mavis personally killed more than 20 insurgents. The scar on his neck was left by a skilled swordsman in Flanders. However, in the end the swordsman died and Mavis survived.

Moreover, that time, Mavis was to help the Duke of Saxony resist the injury of the swordsman who intended to assassinate the Duke. Therefore, because of his merits, he was officially canonized as a knight by the Duke of Saxony, and he owned a small piece of knighthood. Before that, Mavis, like Marin, was also a wandering knight without inheritance rights.

Years of fighting and fighting have made Mavis very rich in combat experience. After arriving in the town, he carefully observed it in the tavern. As a result, he despised those guys who were making a lot of trouble, but he was more concerned about Adler who was playing soy sauce with Marin and watching the fun.

Because, Adler is big and mature. Mavis was not sure about Adler's age (mainly because Adler was a little tanned and looked a little older), and he didn't know whether Adler had rich combat experience, so he decided to take the initiative to test...

Hey, that stupid big guy on the other side, seeing you laughing so cheaply, I'm very upset, uncle! Mavis took the initiative to provocatively.

Adler froze for a moment, then said angrily:

Damn you uncle!

Yo, the kid is quite arrogant, you don't want to accept our practice? Mavis took the initiative to make an appointment.

Practice your second uncle, you said that you can practice? Your green onion? Marin retorted sharply, holding back Adler who was having an attack.

Marin was a little uneasy. Seeing Mavis' cheap face on the other side, he could tell at a glance that this guy was an old fritters. Although Adler is very good at martial arts, his experience is really poor. Because, Adler has never left the Bochum range since he was a child. And the scar on Mavis' neck also made Marin a little afraid. To be able to leave such a large scar on the neck, must have experienced a life and death struggle. And how many people who survived the life-and-death struggle are easy to mess with?

However, Adler had a different opinion. He broke away from Marin's hand and said:

Marin, let me have a fight with him! He is probably also a participant in this competition. We will meet eventually. Why don't we try his skills first...

Marin thought about it for a while, so he let go and let Adler and Mavis walk out the door of the tavern...

At the entrance of the tavern, a group of people began to watch and fight. Adler and Mavis, only wearing chest plate armor, with bare hands, stood 10 meters apart, their eyes facing each other...

Mavis is indeed an old fritter. As soon as he stood up, he began to mock Adler:

Hey, that little idiot across from you, are you here to participate in the competition to recruit relatives? You are worthy of Miss Hamler just as you are? Well... maybe, after I marry Miss Hamler, I can consider it. Promise her maid to you...if you are willing to be my knight attendant...

Servant... Adler was very angry - if I can fight like this, just be a servant?

Well, it's just a servant. Don't look at your kid who looks like a bear, but he's still tender. Have you ever been on the battlefield? Have you killed anyone? You can tell at a glance. There are so many things you need to learn from this uncle! So, don't be convinced, you are also assigned to this uncle as a servant!

I XXXXXX... Adler was angry. Originally, letting his younger brother Marin cover his head made him feel a little depressed-because the outside world said that his older brother was inferior to his younger brother. Now, Mavis looked down on him, saying that he was only worthy of being a knight's attendant, which happened to poke his sore spot. So, Adler broke out...

Marin felt bad to hear Mavis taunt Adler so much. For Adler's idea, Marin can guess some.

As the eldest son in the family, he was covered by his younger brother (oh no, not one, but a lot of heads. Because Marin is already a baron, and Adler is not even a formal knight), Adler's psychology The pressure is great. Now, Mavis just happened to poke at this scar, and it was inevitable that he would irritate Adler.

Sure enough, Adler rushed up angrily, raised a fist the size of a casserole, and slammed it into Mavis' face. However, Mavis is also a master with a lot of fighting experience. So, he wasn't panicking.

Adler charged violently from 10 meters away, and its impact should not be underestimated. So, Mavis didn't hit it hard. Because he didn't rush up, the impact was not enough. If you hit it head on, Mavis might suffer.

I saw Mavis, who was tall and tall, nimbly dodged to the side, and avoided Adler's collision with a sliding step. Marin's eyes flashed on the side, knowing that Mavis was not easy to mess with. If Mavis foolishly confronts Adler head-on, Marin may not be worried. Because, Adler doesn't necessarily lose much to Mavis. But if the equally strong Mavis uses some other means, it will be difficult for the upright Adler.

Sure enough, when Adler rushed over, Mavis did not attack Adler's back. Because, that's not in the spirit of chivalry. It's not that Mavis is really chivalrous, but because so many people are watching, he has to act like a gentleman. If it is on the battlefield, Mavis will definitely take the opportunity to start. However, when Adler just turned around, Mavis took advantage of Adler's unsteady footing, stepped forward and yanked Adler's right arm, his knees raised one by one, and pressed against Adler's crotch ...

In fact, this kind of trick is very inferior in the knight competition. However, as an old fritter who has been on the battlefield, Mavis is already very thick-skinned. He doesn't care if he uses some nasty tricks. Besides, he had restrained himself from not attacking from behind Adler. Moreover, his move is actually a false move, it will not really hit Adler's crotch at all, it is just used to scare Adler.

Sure enough, Adler panicked when he saw Mavis resorting to such a shameless trick. Because, Adler has never seen the world, and usually fights with people, and they are all friendly. When he encountered the shameless Mavis and resorted to such lewd tricks, he panicked immediately.

In order to prevent himself from being abolished, Adler flicked to the left, and at the same time shook off Mavis' hand. However, because of the rapid flash, some feet were unstable.

This is what Mavis wanted. Taking advantage of Adler's forced left shift, Mavis kicked up with a big foot. Adler hurriedly kicked his feet. The right feet of both sides collided, making a loud noise.

However, Adler was not on his feet at this time, and Mavis was the opposite. Moreover, Mavis' power is not under Adler at all, and even slightly exceeds it. Therefore, with this kick, Adler suffered a great loss, and he took a few steps back and almost lost his footing.

How could the sly Mavis miss this great opportunity? He hurriedly stepped forward, waved his fist, and began to smash Adler. Adler hurriedly parried, and his momentum was completely suppressed.

Moreover, after the confrontation between the two sides, Adler tragically found that the guy on the opposite side was stronger than himself. Coupled with the suppressed momentum, Adler fell into a hard fight...

Finally, after dozens of rounds passed, taking advantage of Adler's negligence, Mavis first punched Adler in the face with his fist, and while Adler focused his attention on it, he suddenly kicked him with a big foot. Adler was kicked out of Dele's chest...

Fortunately, Adler was wearing breastplate armor. If he didn't wear breastplate, he would have been kicked by Mavis, a savage bear, and his internal organs might have been kicked out of place...

Marin sucked in a breath—what a strong opponent! He started to worry. With this guy around, it was very unlikely that Adler wanted to win the competition.

Being beaten to the ground means defeat in the fist-fight competition. Marin quickly stepped forward, helped Adler, who was dissatisfied and depressed, and returned to the hotel.

Although Marin wanted to gang up on Mavis, if Marin did this, he would definitely be ridiculed. Because, in this era, duels between knights should be fair and sacred. If Marin broke this rule, he wouldn't have to mix in the noble circle. And Kahn, who has the strongest bare-handed fighting ability under Marin, is only a knight attendant, not even an apprentice, and has no qualifications to challenge Mavis at all. Therefore, this loss, Marin and Adler can only eat raw.

But the loss is secondary. This time Adler may have no hope of participating in the competition, which is the biggest thing. In two days, the old Hoffmans will come too. It would be a shame if Adler lost to Mavis again in the competition in front of everyone. Moreover, Adler will also lose the opportunity to hold the beauty back. Marin doesn't expect Adler to win Mavis in the horse battle, because Mavis is a fierce man who can survive on the battlefield. His immense strength and proficiency in martial arts, coupled with a wealth of actual combat experience, will definitely not lose to Adler. Even, those who have been on the battlefield will definitely be able to overwhelm Adler in terms of momentum.

It is foreseeable that Mavis has a much better chance of winning than Adler. Apparently, Adler also thought of this. So, after returning, Adler became silent. He had always been heartless and had a rare sad expression on his face...
