"What's happening here?"
Next to the gathering center for knights participating in the tournament.
Morgan couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the two figures falling at the same time in the distance.
Just now, he was a little surprised that Loras Tyrell, the slutty "Knight of Flowers" who was incense-scented and wearing special patterned armor, was skillful with a spear on horseback.
Although it was a bit difficult to deal with "The Mountain" Gregor Clegane, he was able to last for more than ten rounds.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, the horse under "Mountain" Gregor Clegane suddenly went crazy, and "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell seized the opportunity, stabbed him with a gun, and fell straight down.
But Morgan didn't have time to be surprised.
At the critical moment, "The Mountain" Gregor Clegane succeeded in counterattacking, and both of them fell off their horses.
The appearance of such a dramatic scene was not only surprising to Morgan, but also the surrounding knights who were paying attention to "Magic Mountain" and "Knight of Flowers", the two favorites to win the championship, were a little stunned.
But soon, after reacting, all the participating knights immediately started talking.
"Is this what happened?"
"Gregor Clegane and Loras Tyrell fell off their horses almost at the same time. How should we calculate this?"
"Who wins this time, or are both losers?"
"Both of them fell off their horses, and of course they both lost..."
"So there is no winner in this competition?"
"Without the "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane and the "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell, the chances of the jousting event will be greatly increased this time..."
"Damn it, I should have signed up for the jousting competition. The first place winner got an unprecedented 40,000 gold dragon coins, and even the second runner-up got 20,000 gold dragon coins. I regret it, damn it..."
"Who would have thought that these two would fall off their horses at the same time..."
"I asked you whether you are thinking too much about what this competition will be like. His Majesty the King has not spoken yet..."
"What is there to say? Both of them have fallen off the horse. Of course they are both losers and will be eliminated..."
"Boy, how many years have you been knighted? Have you ever participated in a tourney before?"
"you are too young..."
"..."
Just when all the participating knights were arguing.
Countless spectators in the stands in the distance were even more dumbfounded.
This situation has never been encountered before.
After a brief silence.
Cheers, curses, boos, and other noises immediately started like a tide.
How loud the cheers were when these two came in before.
There was so much noise at this time.
Even King Robert Baratheon on the highest stand was stunned for a moment when he saw this situation, and then burst into laughter.
Amidst the roar of countless spectators in the stands.
In the round arena.
Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane, who stood up from the ground, quickly looked away from his opponent's beautiful white horse and already knew what had happened.
Why did the horse under him that had been following him for a year suddenly go crazy and out of control? It turned out to be that despicable and cunning "woman" Loras Tyrell deliberately rode a mare in heat.
Otherwise, the beast under him would never go crazy suddenly.
"Damn, cunning, despicable boy, I'm going to kill you!"
How could "Mountain" Gregor Clegane endure such despicable means with his violent temper? He felt angry and aggrieved, and immediately shouted towards the sidelines of the arena: "Bring me my sword!"
Soon, an attendant rushed into the arena with a big sword.
Mo Shan stepped forward quickly, took the sword and pulled it out.
Seeing Gregor Clegane charging towards him with a big sword and an angry look on his face, "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell, who had just stood up with empty hands, was immediately frightened and turned around and ran away.
In the stands, a group of spectators who had not yet figured out the situation started making noise again as they watched the rapidly changing situation on the field.
The handsome "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell was chased by Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane with his sword, and he fled across the field in panic.
Just when he was about to be caught up.
"Baristan Selmy", the captain of the Kingsguard wearing mighty golden armor, rushed into the arena.
Competition gathering center.
Morgan looked at the farce-like arena in the distance.
He knew clearly in his heart that if Gregor Clegane, the "Magic Mountain", hadn't picked up the sword to chase down the "Knight of Flowers", the two might have had another chance to compete. After all, the forces behind these two were powerful.
But now, there is definitely no chance.
Withdrawing his gaze, Morgan walked towards the wooden house not far away with a calm expression.
"Magic Mountain" and "Knight of Flowers" are the last group to joust.
After the two people compete, it means that the first round of the jousting competition is over.
Then came the "Archery Competition".
Morgan needs to prepare for the next game.
On the playing field.
"The Mountain" Gregor Clegane's crazy behavior was stopped by Barristan Selmy, the captain of the Kingsguard.
Mo Shan didn't bother to explain, turned around and walked away with his big sword in hand.
Barristan Selmy, Captain of the Kingsguard, also saw at this time that the white horse that "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell had previously ridden was a mare in heat.
Although I am not ashamed to behave with this "Knight of Flowers".
But he said nothing.
Instead, he strode towards the stand where King Robert Baratheon was.
It didn't take long.
After listening to what the captain of the Kingsguard said.
Robert Baratheon waved his hand.
Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane, who flouted the rules of the Tourney, will not be allowed to participate in other subsequent tournaments.
The "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell, who deliberately played tricks and entered the battle riding a estrous mare, failed in this competition.
There is an hour between the "Jousting" format and the "Archery Tournament" format.
This hour is also reserved for the spectators in the stands to take a short break to drink and eat.
This martial arts tournament.
Whether it’s the dark red armored Morgan who makes a strong appearance as a dark horse;
Or the infamous "Kingslayer" Jaime Lannister;
Or the big upset battle between "The Mountain" Gregor Clegane and "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell, who were originally the favorites to win the championship but both lost.
In the first round of jousting that just ended, there were really too many things for everyone to chat about.
So much so that the one-hour waiting time didn't feel like a long time at all.
After a large number of targets were continuously placed on the spacious arena, and the track was marked out with lime, etc., preparations were made for the "Archery Competition" format.
Following King Robert Baratheon, who was drinking heavily from a wine glass, he waved.
The first round of "Archery Competition" began.
The tournament activity center.
Morgan and many of the participating knights were looking at the first three knights on the three tracks ahead.
Let’s talk about the competition system. The rules for the confrontation between two knights are different from that of “jousting”.
Each group of "Archery Competition" has three knights competing on the stage.
There are two methods for conducting competitions.
One is to have an archery competition right away;
The other is to get off your horse and compete in archery on the spot;
The results of the two tests are added together to get the final test score.
"Remember your own track. If you go on the wrong track, you will be directly disqualified from the competition and become a loser..."
"Also, when you get to the competition field, don't get it wrong, each of you can only shoot your own target..."
"Shooting at the wrong target will result in the same disqualification as taking the wrong track..."
"Remember, I only say this this time!"
Beside the track, the old man with white hair and beard looked at the three knights in front of him and warned him. He also said it to the participating knights who were watching.
Because every martial arts tournament.
There are always many people who make mistakes within these two rules and are directly eliminated.
"Now, the competition begins!"
The old man finished speaking.
Three knights wearing armor, carrying long bows and quivers on their backs immediately rode out and ran wildly.
It is different from ordinary archery competitions.
In the "Archery Tournament" at the tournament, each participating knight only had six arrows in the quiver on his back.
Three arrows are used for the horse-moving archery competition;
The remaining three are used for in-situ archery competitions.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of horse hooves rumbled.
When the three knights armed with long bows and arrows finally rushed onto the huge arena.
The countless spectators in the stands once again gave the warmest cheers without hesitation.
Targets are placed at the end points of the curved track clearly demarcated with white lime.
Each participating knight must shoot an arrow at the target at a specified position.
When the three arrows on horseback have been shot, the player dismounts and shoots the remaining three arrows to signify the end of the competition.
And all this needs to be completed within the specified time.
The three knights were in no mood to enjoy the cheers of the spectators in the stands.
They must walk accurately on their own track, shoot arrows at key positions, and hit the target accurately, which requires great concentration.
After all, shooting arrows on horseback is not an easy task.
You must also pay attention to the track under your feet.
This is a competition that tests the contestants’ archery skills.
Sometimes hitting the target is already a victory.
"Whoosh..."
"Whoosh..."
"Whoosh..."
Soon, the three knights in the first group shot their first arrows.
However, they had no intention of seeing whether they had hit the target. Instead, they focused on the track under their feet and shot the arrow again at the next marked point.
Finally, after the three knights each shot their last arrow.
The three of them couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Compared with "horse jousting" and "group close combat", which require confrontation and are extremely prone to casualties, these two intense competition systems.
The "Archery Competition" competition system is relatively civilized.
However, in fact, the "Archery Competition" competition system actually requires the participating knights to have the highest technical skills and abilities in archery.
When the last knight put down his longbow.
Officials around the arena immediately began to tally the results of the three knights.
Soon, the results of the Three Knights were displayed.
In the in-situ archery competition, the three knights were evenly matched.
But in the horseback riding and archery competition, the results of the three of them were a bit disastrous.
Each of the two knights missed an arrow, which was a serious loss of points.
Although another knight did not miss the target, two of his arrows hit the edge of the target, and the other arrow barely missed the target circle.
With this comparison, the winner of the first group is obvious.
It was the knight who did not miss the target in the horseback archery competition.
As the captain of the Kingsguard, Barristan Selmy, who was in charge of the tourney, raised the arm of the victorious knight.
The audience in the stands burst into cheers again.
When the victorious knight rode on his horse, he accepted the cheers of the audience and left.
The rumble of horse hooves from a new round of contestants has been heard quickly from a distance.
Time passed slowly.
It was already past noon.
The weather is beautiful today, the warm sunshine is shining on the earth, and the weather is very good.
The countless spectators in the stands did not feel tired at all.
There were bursts of cheers.
The atmosphere in the entire stadium was full of enthusiasm and passion.
The tournament activity center.
Listening to the cheers that filled the sky again from the distant arena.
He had to decide the winner with another team of three knights.
So he reached out and touched the slender horse face of "Carrot" who was constantly rubbing his big head against him.
Morgan got on his horse and walked towards the entrance of the track ahead.
A total of twenty-seven knights or warriors sponsored by nobles participated in this "Archery Competition" competition.
As for why it is better and more important than the rewards, the sixteen-person jousting competition format has eleven more contestants.
Firstly, the "Archery Competition" competition system does not require the participating knights to confront each other head-on. They will not be easily injured, and there is no danger of death. It is safe enough.
The second reason is that losers in the "Archery Tournament" format will not lose their armor and horses like losers in the "Jousting Tournament" format, which is safe enough.
Although the archery skills required for this competition are extremely high.
But in comprehensive comparison, it is the best choice for some noble knights who are not strong enough, not wealthy enough, or who are of noble birth and have never seen iron and blood.
Because as long as you participate in the martial arts tournament, it is a kind of glory and honor that you can take action and speak out.
The twenty-seven knights participating in the "Archery Competition" this time were divided into nine groups of three.
Now comes the ninth and final group.
Morgan rode forward and stood on one of the three tracks, waiting quietly.
At least he could still see a few familiar figures during the morning jousting.
But none of the "Archery Competition" in Middle-earth can be seen.
This also shows that there are not many people who are equally good at melee combat and long-range archery.
"You already know the rules, so I won't talk nonsense."
"The last group in the first round of the "Archery Competition" format..."
"start..."
As the old man with white hair and white beard finished speaking.
All three horses rushed out.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Bang bang bang..."
When the rumble of rapid horse hooves sounded again.
Countless spectators in the stands immediately looked up towards the exit of the track.
Soon, three knights wearing armors of different colors rushed out of the track.
The sharp-eyed spectators immediately recognized that the unusually handsome knight with a black ponytail and dark red mighty armor was none other than Morgan, the powerful knight who had made a splash in the "Jousting" that morning.
For a while.
Warm cheers welcoming the three knights immediately resounded throughout the audience.
Among them, there were many sharp female voices shouting the names "Morgan" and "Morgan" in a high-pitched voice.
Although the rules of the "Archery Competition" competition system are harsh.
But Morgan still smiled and raised his longbow and waved towards the area of the stands that called his name the loudest.
He waved his hand.
The cheering female voices that had started to fall immediately became even louder.
Morgan ignored it and paid attention to controlling the pace of the carrot under him. At the same time, when he reached the first marked position.
Yi Wuyu quickly drew out the arrows from his quiver, without aiming, he raised his hand and shot them out.
"Whoosh..."
The arrow hit the target at the end of the track with great accuracy and hit the bullseye with a roaring sound.
Such a distance, such a target.
With his archery skills at this time, there was no chance of missing.
The only troublesome thing about this "Archery Competition" format for him is the exclusive track on the ground which is not spacious.
The more "carrots" there are under me, the more excited I am.
Morgan had to be careful not to let this guy go off the rails.
"Whizzing..."
Two more arrows were shot out in succession.
Morgan jumped off his horse and came to the fixed shooting position.
Unlike the other two contestants, the knight shot arrows one after another.
Morgan stretched out his hand to grab it, and three arrows were placed on the longbow.
Because the performance in the morning was too amazing.
Morgan's reappearance on the court at this time has attracted a lot of attention.
Just when he was demonstrating his archery skills smoothly.
The eyes of most of the spectators in the stands were already focused on him.
This made every move he made noticeable.
Just when he stretched out his hand and drew out three arrows at a time, and set up his bow, the audience who were closest to the target and could see it most clearly became excited.
Morgan had no intention of paying attention to anything else at this time.
The bowstring that was pulled into the full moon sounded softly in the hand that was not focused on anything else.
"Swish swish..."
Three arrows shot out with a roar.
The next second.
The moment three arrows hit the bullseye at the end of the track.
The cheers from the countless spectators in the nearest stands suddenly erupted.
"Ahhhhhhhhh..."
