Climb to the top of the mountain road.
The rest of the journey became gentler.
Because of the large lake, the Battanian Plateau has a refreshing fragrance that penetrates the heart and soul.
Long-term development has made this area less dense than the previous mountain forests.
The forest thinned out and the view broadened.
Walking onto the main road and turning a corner, Xiaonong's thick and simple city wall was vaguely visible.
Three people and four horses were ringing bells, and dozens of two-handed swords distributed among four horses were not too many, so Zhang Qi and others were not slow.
Perhaps because of Karadog's march, the surrounding bandits have long disappeared.
Instead, there were countless villagers and caravans passing by in a hurry.
After kicking the horse's belly, Zhang Qi increased the speed again and was almost at Xiaonong. There was no need to save the horses' energy. There would be plenty of opportunities for them to rest in the next period of time.
Zhang Qi's speed increased, and the blacksmith and crossbowman behind him also accelerated their horses.
Within twenty minutes, several people arrived under the city wall of Xiao Nong.
At this moment, bursts of cheers were erupting in Xiaonong City, and bright flags were flying on the city walls.
Zhang Qi's eyes lit up, and he rode into Xiaonong City. He first sold the two-handed swords, and earned 24,000 dinars for forty of them.
At this moment, Zhang Qi already had nearly 50,000 dinars on him, and he also had thirty-three two-handed swords in his hands.
Xiao Nong's purchase price has been reduced, and he plans to go to Marunas later to sell all the remaining two-handed swords.
It just so happens that the village of Marunas also produces iron ore, which can be replenished and brought back to 'Epicrothea'.
After selling the two-handed swords, Zhang Qi immediately took the blacksmith and crossbowman to the arena. When he entered the city just now, he noticed that Xiao Nong was holding a real sword competition!
He wanted to try his luck.
Before arriving at Chaunon, he saw Karadog's army heading towards Sturgia, which showed that a conflict between Battania and Sturgia might have begun.
Karadog has gone to the front line, so the lords on the Battanian territory will also follow.
In this way, the difficulty for Zhang Qi and others to participate in the real sword competition has been greatly reduced. After all, all the lords who can fight have gone out.
If he is lucky enough to win the final championship, even if the reward in this competition is the lowest level, he can still earn several thousand yuan.
Not to mention that there are bets on the real sword competition.
"Let's go and join in the fun!"
Zhang Qi got off his horse and entered the arena with Suo Jial and the crossbowman.
Sure enough, the real sword competition was being held. After asking the person in charge of the arena, Zhang Qi learned that the prize this time was the 'Varyag Hot-Blooded Horse'!
Noble mount! The selling price is between 10,000 and 20,000!
This is much faster than blacksmithing.
Zhang Qi immediately signed up with a happy face. Not only did he sign up, but the blacksmith Suo Jiaer and the crossbowman also participated with him.
The more people who participate, the more chances of winning.
Forget it, let’s try the real sword competition first. If you don’t win, you won’t get your money back.
Most of the events in the world of riding and slashing are prepared for players. If the players don't come, Xiao Nong's real sword competition will last for a while and then the winner will be decided. But once the players sign up, the competition will start immediately.
The role Zhang Qi plays now is that player.
His vision was blurred, and the next moment the battle table appeared in front of Zhang Qi.
Not bad, the three of them were grouped together in the first round.
The countdown begins.

The battle begins!
The nature of the real sword competition is the same as that of the training competition, but the rules are different. The damage received in the arena is not fatal, so Zhang Qi can act boldly.
After being teleported into the arena, the equipment has been allocated.
Battania's arena favors two-handed weapons and bows. This time, except for the crossbowmen, Zhang Qi and Sojal are both two-handed battle axes.
Entering the arena, Zhang Qi became extremely calm, his face was solemn, and his eyes scanned the entire arena.
In the first round, they are divided into four teams, with eight people in each team fighting against each other.
Zhang Qi and the others were from the yellow team. The red team closest to them was already fighting with the green team, and the blue team was also rushing to the center of the battlefield.
"The crossbowman keeps shooting, Sogyal, follow me!"
Zhang Qi also moved forward slowly with the yellow team, but he and Suojiaer were always hanging at the back of the team.
"Don't worry, just play with them."
Zhang Qi picked up a throwing ax thrown from the ground, gestured and threw it into the field.
Not bad. The flying ax, which was much heavier than the flying knife, fell into the crowd with the help of gravity. Zhang Qi didn't know who he hit, but he eliminated one anyway.
There were not many flying axes on the ground, and the other three teams did not focus their attacks here, so after throwing a flying axe, Zhang Qi could only continue forward.
Many people had already fallen in the most intense fighting area. The Battania Arena was good for this. There were very few cavalry units and everyone was fighting hand-to-hand.
Passing by a fallen NPC, Zhang Qi threw his two-handed battle ax and replaced it with his shield and one-handed ax, and rushed into the battlefield with his waist down.
"Sogyal! Kill!"
Zhang Qi swung his iron ax and struck an NPC on the head. His shield protected his chest and chin to block the two flying axes.
The NPC who was hit fell to the ground, and Sojal then stepped forward to push away another NPC who was approaching.
Zhang Qi took advantage of the situation and struck another axe.
Facing these dull NPCs, the cooperation between Zhang Qi and Suo Jiaer was simply wonderful. In a short time, under Zhang Qi's command, the two of them killed the remaining NPCs who had little health.
second round.
Round three.
Due to the lack of Lord NPC, Zhang Qi and the others went extremely smoothly. Except for the three of them who were forced to separate in the third round and the crossbowmen were eliminated, Zhang Qi and Sojaer successfully met in the finals.
You can bet on these with confidence. Zhang Qike is good at beating his own people!
A bet of one hundred dinars, a return of six hundred, a small profit of five hundred.
In the field, looking at the dull and solemn face across from him, Zhang Qi grinned.
If someone bullies him, he will chop with an axe.
He was slashing and shouting at the same time.
"Wait! Wait! Wait for me!"
These instructions made Suojiaer on the opposite side startled for a moment, raising his ax and putting it back, acting like a weirdo.
Suo Jiaer danced like a devil, but Zhang Qi was very happy to chop him. After all, for horse-and-blade players, they are best at hitting their own people.
"oh--!"
Warm cheers came from the arena stands, and Zhang Qi was teleported to the podium. A tall horse beside him was wagging its tail.
I don’t know if it was because of the blessing of money, but Zhang Qi felt like this [Varyag Hot-Blooded Horse] was glowing under the sun!
Dinar +18000!
