Power and Empire Chapter 109: －30
The hot sun shines on the earth, and the Wind of Gods Arena is crowded with people. Today is the last day of the competition. Because there is only one game, it is scheduled to be held in the afternoon. In fact, this unfounded practice is entirely for the sake of taking care of it. The life time of the nobles is reversed day and night. Today, the final winner of the competition will be born here. This time, many of the rich and powerful families of Riva Cheze sent people to participate in the competition. With five rounds of promotion, only eighteen were left. According to the rules of previous competitive competitions, the last game is a group competition. It is divided into two teams and nine people on each side. This is a test of the players’ ability to cooperate. After all, even the best knights need partners, unity, and trust. , Mutual assistance is an important part of the five creeds of the Cavaliers
Fatty and Salon are sitting in the most remote box, drinking yellow iced ale, behind them are two waiters wearing big fans fanning the wind, this is the advantage of nobles, in all boxes, there are special The servant in charge of the fan, Fatty didn’t let Saron come, but at Saron’s stubborn insistence, Fatty had to compromise. According to Saron, the glorious swordsman who defeated him was also a civilian swordsman. This has aroused the curiosity of the fat man
The air at the scene was a bit depressed, and everyone was surrounded by gracious voices. The players on both sides were in the off-stage lounge, preparing for the final fight. It is said that among the 18 players who entered the finals this time, some Six are civilian players, which attracted a large number of ordinary citizens to watch the game.
"Leiyan Hortonk, Assassin Retrick, Glory Swordsman Chico Huli..." These ordinary but slightly legendary names are well-known among the people of Zhwa Cheze Very high, they are the masters of this arena and the heroes of all civilians. They are creating a myth, a myth of a civilian champion.
"Woo!" The loud trombone finally sounded, and the doors of the lounges on both sides opened slowly. At this moment, nobles and civilians were cheering for the players representing themselves with excitement. The whole arena was boiling. But this kind of cheers was quickly replaced by surprise and anger. The stands that were thunderous with cheers just now suddenly disappeared a lot
"What's going on?" In the civilian stands, everyone whispered in surprise, looking at the players below with an incredulous expression, with bulging eyes
"It's not fair!" A civilian in the stands threw a water glass on the ground with indignation,
On both sides of the arena below, on one side are nine heavily armed light knights, tall knight horses, three-meter knight’s lances, full light armor, and iron bucket hats with only eyes on their heads, as murderous Steel monster.
On one side of there are only six mail warriors holding long swords and shields. The shields are all made of wood.
This kind of completely one-sided situation made the ordinary seats around the VIP stand completely indignant, and the voices shouting "unfair" came like an overwhelming response
"How come there are only six people? Isn't it nine people on each side?" The fat man asked the waiter behind him with surprise on his face
"Honorable lord, there are three players who are nobles, they have already abstained before the game!" The messenger behind him respectfully said.
"Fuck me!" The fat man cursed in an angry voice, "Six infantrymen against nine knights, isn't this a player! These nobles really did it by TMD"
"Fortunately, I didn't make it to the final!"Saron took a sip of ale with an ugly face,
"What are these untouchables shouting!" In response to the opposition from the surrounding stands, the head of the Dardanelle family, Dardanell asked with a displeased expression, “They can compete with the nobles on the same field, and they still have What dissatisfaction! Do they really treat themselves as the masters of Riva Cheze!"
"Yes." Hu Kentu, the patriarch of the Hook family by his side, said flatteringly, "My lord, you have seen it, Master Chivik is too tolerant of these untouchables, and these untouchables are about to climb onto the necks of our nobles. Up!"
"En" Dardaniel grunted dissatisfiedly, "Unexpectedly, during my trip to Salander, this kid Qiweik made the Zhiva car a mess, not only allowing civilians to enter the sacred competition. Sai, what kind of merchant federation is to be formed, doesn't he know that common people are lowly, merchants are lowly, and nobles are the masters of this world. This is the order set by God. If it weren't for my return in time, these untouchables It’s not overturned yet!"
"That's right! "Hookentu lamented." During the period of Master's absence, Master Chivic not only intervened in the dispute between the Samor and the Issa family, but also tried to secretly instigate the rebellion of the nobles of Djerber. The Daniil family’s tradition of not intervening in the affairs of the lord, if it were not for him, the Samorian cavalry would not have appeared outside the city of Shiva!"
"Enough" "Daddaniel waved his hand" Don't say any more, after all, he is my only son and your future master, or talk about the nasty Samos, when are they going to leave? If you stay outside the city like this, the Japanese car will almost become their Satsuma!"
"I don't know this yet" Hu Kentu looked at Dardaniel with an embarrassed expression on his face. "Listening to the City Guard report yesterday, the Fat Samor and the Swamp Barbarians seemed to be entangled together. From the current situation, the game was over , The Samorians will return to their territories!"
"Swamp Barbarians!" Dardaniel took a blank look on his face, and laughed mockingly, "Hehe, the vulgar noble scum and the rude marsh barbarians, they are really a natural pair! Hurry up and let the game play. Let’s start, I don’t want the Samorians to stay in the Japanese car for a second! Seeing them makes me sick!"
completely ignored the "unfair" noise of the civilians on the stage. The referee's eyes were only fixed on the middle of the noble seat. He saw Hu Kentu's hand and quickly let the trumpeter sound the trombone. The final was absolutely unfair. The conditions began.
The nine nobles who participated in the competition were already impatient. Hearing the beginning of the trombone, they immediately urged the horses under the crotch to run. They are all elites of various families, although they are not like the Kujites. Superb equestrian skills, but more than ten years of knight training, has long allowed them to integrate with the horses under the hips. They are more proficient in the balance on horseback than ordinary cavalry.
At this time, the rigid training method of the knights reflects its value. The horses move from slowly to speeding up. The nine knights are tacitly like a person. The shroud-shaped shield in their hands blocks all the front of the body and straightens. Three-meter lances lined up in an attack line and pressed over,
"Kill them! Kill them, kill these untouchables!"
pulsating war horses, neatly advancing in a queue, nine people are like a steel city wall. This is the perfect combination of actual combat and exercise, violence and aesthetics. The imposing momentum makes the nobles on the stage loud cheers. It seems that the six people on the opposite side have been crushed by the galloping horses and pierced by sharp spears
Facing the slowly pressing Cavaliers formation, Chico Huli on the opposite side showed extraordinary commanding ability. Under his leadership, six people turned over and ran at the same time, ran to the left wall, posing A defensive formation with its back against the wall
"beautiful!" This wonderful act made the fat man in the box yell hello. Chico Huli's left arm was tied with white gauze, which made the fat man recognize him at a glance
The fat man who has been studying infantry tactics saw the subtlety of this "leaning against the wall" at a glance. The wall can keep the back from being attacked and the infantry can concentrate on defending the front. The cavalry that can charge forward will naturally hit the wall at the moment the spear is pierced. The cavalry that loses impact will not be much better than the infantry.
Sure enough, the nine knights marching in order, had to give up the tactics of simultaneous advancement, whizzed past the wall, split into two teams and attacked the wall, trying to squeeze the six people in the corner of the wall to death.
"Come!" Fatty Yuan opened his eyes, and said in his heart, "This is the only chance to counter the knight!"
"Clang", the knight’s spear slid over the edge of Chico Huli’s shield, and the first knight who charged up diagonally slammed into the middle of the six people. The wall forced the horse to slow down. The sword warrior slashed on the knight’s shroud and brought out a spark. In order not to collide with each other, the knights behind had to go around from nearby
"Bump" two other knights rammed from the right side, and the stab spear pierced the back of the two-handed sword warrior, blood splashed, and the corpse was thrown a few meters away,
The crowded corner space bought time for other fighters. Chico Huli now showed the strength of his top glory swordsman. He kicked on the wall, and with the help of kicking force, the knight’s broad sword in his hand came from below. Stabbed into a knight’s abdomen, the black spots expanded rapidly. As the knight’s sword was drawn out, blood mixed with internal organs spouted from the knight’s abdomen, the knight shook a few times and fell off the horse,
The knight's broad sword in the hands of the other warriors had a cold light from the starting point, slashed on the waist of the knight that followed, and made blood stains. The blood spattered from the knight's mail, except for one knight. Escaped in time, another knight was trapped because of the horse, and the horse was cut off by the soldiers coming up
"That's the serrated sword of the Glory Swordsman!" Salong watched the changes in the audience intently, explaining the weapons of the fighters in the audience. Although he was once an opponent, he still admired the strength of Chico Huli. "This kind of broad sword has serrations on both sides, it is specially designed to deal with the lock armor, and one stroke is a big hole"
"Good thing!" The sharpness of the serrated sword made Fatty's eyes shine. It seems that Chico Huli has long been planning for the current predicament, and specially selected the wide-bladed serrated sword to deal with the lock armor. Chico Huli is accurate. "This is the genius commander of the infantry corps!"
"They're vulgar! These untouchables dare to kill the knights in front of so many nobles!" Dardaniel stood up angrily, "No matter if they can survive or not, I will take care of them as soon as the game is over. They are nailed to a wooden frame"
One for two, the first wave of collision ended with the victory of the soldiers, which caused the civilians in the surrounding stands to cheer the sky
sound,
"Good job, Chico Huli!"
"Give those shameless people a hard blow!"
"It turns out that the blood of the noble master is also red, haha!"
The nobles were pale and silent. No one would have thought that facing an absolute superior knight, this group of untouchables would be so sturdy. The good show of the knights slaughtering untouchables, which was originally expected, turned into a magical untouchables. The Jedi counterattacked, especially the family representatives of the two knights killed, shaking with excitement
"They should be arrested immediately! They dare to kill the knight!"
The knights circled around the wall and gathered again. The five warriors with their backs against the wall made them feel at a loss. No one can guarantee that they will be able to beat them once. Once they hit the wall, they will be beaten. The evasive fighters encircled and suppressed, after all, there was no convenience on the ground immediately. They cut it down together, no one can bear it.
Faced with the tight defense of the soldiers, the eight knights were again divided into four groups, one attacking, one covering, charging from a distance of more than 20 meters from the corner of the wall, and then rushing to both sides a few meters away from the wall.
"clang, clang" the knight’s spear hit the soldier’s shield with a single blow, and the shield that was hit by the powerful impact continued to retreat. Under this powerful driving attack, the defense range of the five soldiers was continuously reduced. Until finally was pressed to the corner.
"Glory is my life!"
The knights gathered into a horizontal line, and the towering three-meter spear was put down again, shouting the slogan of the knight charging, and instigating the horses, like a hurricane,
The five warriors huddled in a narrow corner. The five shields formed a shield wall, only a pair of blood-red eyes were exposed, staring at the speeding knight. The moment of life and death was about to come.
"Everyone rush up!" The horse has run into a ten-meter range, Chicohu shouted hard, and the five soldiers did not retreat and went up with their shields.
"Whoo!" Five warriors swiftly flashed past the stabbing three-meter lances, passing through the gap of eight horses, and the offensive and defensive situation suddenly reversed. "Ah" a knight was chopped by a wide sword stabbed from behind. After hurting the thigh, the other knights panicked and could only take advantage of the horse to accelerate the previous one, trying to get rid of the threat behind them, but this was exactly what the fighters wanted them to do.
There is a solid wall in front of you. No matter how mighty the horses are, they can’t win. The eight horses that “touch” disorderly crowded and smashed into each other. The two knights fell off their horses because of the sudden impact, and the others too. Turning the horse's head in a panic, but it is impossible for the eight war horses to turn their huge bodies in a narrow space at the same time, and the scene is chaotic for a while.
In the face of the panicked noble knight, five experienced warriors quickly surrounded them, knives and swords shadows, blood splashing, the cracking of the chain armor and the warrior's screams mixed together,
In a narrow space, the knight’s three-meter long spear is completely useless, while the warrior’s sawtooth wide sword can easily cut through their locks.
The flexible infantry has completely become the master of the arena, blood spattered from the mail and broken spears, and the knights fell from the horses.
Eight knights once again dropped five corpses in the corner, and all three of them were wounded. The arrogance and aggressiveness just now have been lost invisible,
"Suspension!, Immediately stop the match!" Dardanilhe could no longer sit still, and ordered indignantly. If no one stops, the nine nobles are afraid that no one will be able to end the game. "Untouchables have become competitive The protagonist of the field, today is the day of shame for the nobles! All these untouchables are going to die!"
"Woo" The trombone at the end of the game sounded, and there was a loud cheering from the stands again. The blind could also see that these civilian fighters are the masters of the arena. They created a myth. Not only did they win the athletic championship, they also conquered the hearts of the people of Shiva Cheze
"Do you really want to make a judgment like this?" The referee looked at the verdict sent from the VIP desk, hesitated for a long time without saying a word, and whispered to the messenger "I'm afraid..."
"What do you care about so much!" The herald glanced at the referee displeased, "This is the decision of the adults, do you still want to disobey!"
"Yes, this is the decision of the adults" the referee muttered, looking at the people around waiting for the verdict with complex expressions, spreading out the referee book in his hand, and chanting.
"The overall champion of this competition is our bravery, fearless, fearless, incarnation of loyalty and justice, the defender of the order of the world, our patron saint, and the noble Soronin knights!"
"Fuck! Too shameless!" The fat man, who has always been shameless as his criterion, also patted the table indignantly, "How can people be so shameless!"
"Shameless liar!" I don't know who yelled such a sentence. Soon, the whole arena shouted like this, even some nobles participated in it, and the roar of the sky seemed to even the arena Vibrating
"My lord, the untouchables are going to riot!" Hooktoun turned pale in horror as he heard the shouts like a mountain, Dardaniel gave him a cold look. ! I am the lord, I have the final say in Shiva Cha!"
"Wow" the gate of the arena came out with a commotion, and a group of Japanese guards in leather armor swarmed in. The shining spears surrounded all ordinary civilians in the middle, like driving away. Gathering all the civilians together like a duck, the noise just stopped, leaving only a helpless face
"Have you seen! "Dardanielle with a contemptuous smile on his face" These untouchables are like weeds growing in the courtyard, they only need swords and spears to trim neatly!"
"It’s still a wise adult," Hooktoun flattered flatteringly. "These untouchables should pack up~IndoMTL.com~A team of soldiers drove into the arena and surrounded the five soldiers.
"You have committed a conspiracy to kill a nobleman, and you are now arrested." The guard of Shiva Chazecheng stood up and said, holding a document signed by the lord himself. "This is the execution order signed by the lord, tomorrow morning , You will execute the "nail torture" in the city square
"Get out!" Just as the city guard was about to tie up the five victors, a violent shout came from behind him. Two soldiers guarding the gate were pushed away by a tall soldier. , He took a few steps back loudly, and the two long knives carried by the warrior's back made everyone who saw him shudder.
"Saron the Violent!"
This fierce warrior is the most legendary protagonist in the competitive game. He has two violent swords like flames and a tall and swift offensive. He likes to use the two swords to cut the same position until the weapon breaks. Until the opponent breaks down mentally, if not for the controversial decision in the previous game, he is one of the protagonists of this game
"What do you want to do!" The city guard trembled slightly. The city guard's arm stood trembling with a spear to block it in front of the city guard. Salong's turbid one-eyed made the city guard feel like a dead person and had to Relying on the voice to be bold, "I am the city guard of Zhiva Chaze! I have the command of the lord in my hand"
"The lord's order?" Salong glanced at the city guard contemptuously, spreading out his right palm, a thorns medallion ring inlaid with white diamonds gleaming in the sun
"They are members of our Samor army. Your lord has no right to arrest them. This is a provocation to the Samor army!"
