"Narant, he came here this time not to cause trouble for us, right?" Looking at Quint's murderous eyes, Boris felt a little guilty.
"Boris, be more confident and remove the word 'no', he is here to cause trouble!" Narant patted Boris on the shoulder to comfort him.
Boris: "..."
While the two were talking, the Earl and his group had already approached.
Although Narant and the other vassals were sitting on the side, they were connected to the seats of the Earl and his party, so as they approached, Narant and Quint were now facing each other face to face.
At this time, a middle-aged man next to Quint seemed to notice Quint's mood, followed his gaze and glanced at Nalant, then patted Quint on the shoulder.
In this way, Quint turned around and followed the middle-aged man two steps forward and sat down.
"Well, Nalant, that should be the Black Iron Earl!" When Boris saw the middle-aged man, he wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.
"Boris, don't worry, I'll take care of you!" Nalant was afraid that the other party would send people to attack his territory in private, but he was not afraid of this open confrontation.
While Nalant was speaking, he suddenly felt another gaze staring at him. He was a little puzzled at the moment, and immediately followed the gaze, and finally found that it was Stella who was staring at him.
However, when Nalant looked at her, Stella had already retracted her gaze.
Faced with such a situation, Narant, who was still so arrogant and high-spirited, also withered.
"This is the troublesome existence!" Nalant muttered in his heart.
On the other hand, the little maid Lina next to Stella didn't know that it was Nalant who attacked her young lady that night, and she gave Nalant a sweet smile.
…
"Today is a big day for our Tulip collar, because today is the eighteenth birthday of my Bernard's daughter, Tulip Flower!"
"Here, I hope my tulip flowers will always be happy!"
When all the nobles sat down, the Earl stood up and came to the front of the stand. While speaking, the Earl looked at Stella.
"Thank you, father!" Stella stood up and gave a standard lady's salute.
"Stella, you never need to say thank you to father!" The earl, who had always been dignified and solemn, showed a rare look of kindness and kindness.
After the brief display of affection between father and daughter ended, the Earl returned to his majestic expression, and then turned around to look at the entire arena.
"Now, I announce that today's grand ceremony has officially begun!"
Woohoo!
Following the count's order, several heralds on the side immediately blew their horns.
Boom! Boom!
When the horn sound fell, the entire arena ground began to tremble, and along with the trembling, there were frightening rumbling sounds, as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping towards them.
"Wow! Look, it's the Tulip Knights!"
"It's really the Tulip Knights, so majestic and spectacular!"
The rumbling sound came from far away, and after a few breaths, a group of cavalry in silver armor came out of the tunnel exit on the left side of the arena.
The number of this group of cavalry is not large, only more than a hundred.
But the momentum of the charge was no less than that of thousands of troops, because each of the knights was actually shining with fighting spirit.
"Hiss! Such a strong sense of oppression. Is this the background of a great noble?" The moment the Tulip Knights appeared, Nalant, who was sitting in the stands, immediately felt an unprecedented pressure.
To say that seeing a titled knight is equivalent to seeing a burning flame.
And when more than a hundred tulip knights gathered together, in Nalant's perception, the field was like a scorching sun, making it impossible to look directly at them.
Narant is not the only one who feels this way. Although Boris and others have seen such scenes before, it can be seen from their solemn expressions at this moment that they are also under the pressure of the scene.
If there are people who can still look normal in this arena, there are only a few earls.
"Look, something seems to have been released from the tunnel on the right!"
"Ah, that's a monster!"
"Oh my God, it's really a monster. It must be the Flame Wolf!"
"One, two, three...ten, there are actually ten flaming wolves. What do they want to do? Do they want the Tulip Knight to deal with these flaming wolves?"
Before everyone could recover from the pressure of the Tulip Knights, something happened again on the right side of the arena.
Ten flame wolves were actually released from the iron cage.
These ten flaming wolves had been hungry for who knows how many days. The moment they were released, they looked at the audience on the stage viciously, treating each of them as prey.
Although there was a towering fence to block it, the civilians on the first floor felt suffocated when faced with the gaze of such a vicious wolf.
"Tulip Knights, target the flaming wolf in front! Kill!"
"Kill! We must win! Kill! We must win!"
Fortunately, these flame wolves could not stare at the civilians for too long. The next moment, the more than a hundred Tulip Knights burst into bursts of shouts of killing, which instantly attracted the attention of these flame wolves.
Ho ho ho!
Feeling the threat posed by the knights ahead, the Flame Wolves fell on the ground with their forelimbs, bared their teeth and roared. The bloodthirsty look in their eyes made people shudder.
One hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters...
"Ho! Roar! Roar!"
The space of the arena was not very wide for the cavalry. In just a few breaths, the knights rushed to the front of the Flame Wolf.
As the flame wolf roared, ten bowl-sized fireballs instantly appeared in the field and bombarded the knights.
"ah!"
Faced with such a scene, many timid aristocratic ladies couldn't help but scream in surprise, covering their eyes and not daring to look anymore.
However, the imagined bloody scene did not appear.
As the scorching fireball approached, the tulip knights charging at the front did not dare to move quickly. They just roared as they charged, and then a layer of light yellow shields appeared on several of them.
When the yellow shield covered the whole body, the flame wolf's fireball had also reached the front.
Boom boom boom!
Ten fireballs collided with the shield in an instant and exploded suddenly. In an instant, the field was filled with flames and loud roars could be heard.
However, what is surprising is that the few fireballs facing the shield flame wolf were like gorgeous fireworks, only blooming for a moment and then disappearing without a trace.
But the few knights charging forward were safe and sound.
"It's a secret skill!" Nalant was a little surprised. He thought that the noble knights were just knights with titles, but he didn't expect that they all learned secret skills.
"Narant, don't be surprised. This is the background of the great nobles. In addition to practicing fighting spirit, every knight of the great nobles must also have secret skills to cooperate! And this secret skill is also a secret skill exclusive to knights."
"The secret skill of our Tulip Knights is the yellow shield. When charging, the shield can not only defend against enemy attacks, but after rushing into the enemy's formation, it can also use the shield to knock the enemy away!" See you! Narant was surprised, and Boris opened his mouth to explain!
After hearing this explanation, Nalant fell silent. It seemed that he underestimated the background of these great nobles last time. The secret skills on war horses were not on the same level as those on land.
"Tulip Knights! Kill!"
After Boris finished speaking, another cry of killing came from the field. It turned out that the Tulip Knights had rushed in front of the ten flaming wolves.
"Ho ho ho!"
There is no suspense about what will happen next. Faced with such an overwhelming force, the fate of the ten flaming wolves is already doomed.
They only had time to let out a final roar before they were drowned in the steel torrent of the Tulip Knights.
When the Tulip Knights rolled past and the scene came into view, the ten flaming wolves had indeed fallen into a pool of blood!
"Wow! So mighty! The Tulip Knights will win!"
“The Tulip Knights must win!
"The Tulip Knights must win!"
The Tulip Knights easily defeated ten flaming wolves from their debut to the present in just a few dozen seconds.
But such a shocking opening also completely ignited the emotions of the entire arena audience. Countless spectators stood up and cheered for the Tulip Knights.
"Bernard, it seems that you have invested a lot of money in the Tulip Knights this year! They have become stronger again!"
While the civilians cheered, several earls were slightly moved when they saw this scene.
Although they also have the same extraordinary knights, the secret skills of the Tulip Knights are really suitable for cavalry.
As long as the shield secret skill is activated, these more than a hundred extraordinary knights can instantly transform into heavily armored knights. Facing such a torrent of steel, the enemy's fate can be imagined.
"Haha! You old foxes, don't praise me here, as if you have no experience!" Bernard smiled happily, obviously proud of the combat effectiveness of the Tulip Cavalry Regiment.
Woohoo!
The Tulip Knights didn't wait long after killing the Flame Wolf. After regrouping, they left the arena from the underground entrance in front.
After the Tulip Knights left the field, a small group of guards quickly cleaned up the battlefield.
Immediately, the horn sounded again in the arena.
And the next one to appear is the vassal team!
I saw five lords and their guards forming a phalanx and filing out of the underground entrance.
These guards were fully armed, their silver helmets gleaming with cold light as they walked, and the entire phalanx was filled with murderous intent. Although it was not as terrifying as the Tulip Knights, it was still a different kind of spectacle.
The phalanx of several lords stopped in front of the platform, and seventy meters away in the field in front of them, five archery targets had been set up!
In this world of cold weapons, if there is one of the most difficult types of arms to cultivate, besides cavalry, it is naturally archers.
Therefore, the cavalry demonstrates charging, while the ordinary infantry demonstrates shooting skills.
"Longbowmen prepare!" Immediately after the phalanx stopped, five longbowmen came to the front of the crowd.
As one of the lords took charge of the order, the longbowmen immediately took aim with their bows and arrows.
"The target is seventy meters in front of the target, release it!"
As the order was given, the five longbowmen released their arrows at the same time, and each arrow turned into black light and shot towards the target seventy meters away.
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
"Wow! They all hit the target! And they all hit the bullseye! They are all sharp archers!"
"Archer! Mighty! Mighty!"
The five black awns all hit the target without any surprise. What was even more eye-opening to the audience was that each arrow hit the red heart in the center of the target accurately.
Although the display of ordinary guards was nothing compared to that of the Tulip Knights, five people hit the bullseye at the same time, which was an eye-opener for the civilians and immediately provoked a burst of cheers.
"Bernard, these longbowmen are pretty good!"
As a big noble, there are naturally longbowmen, and they are also organized into an archery battalion.
This also lets them know that if they want to cultivate such accurate shooters, they need to be selective.
An earl who had a good relationship with the Tulip family immediately praised him!
"Haha! They are just lucky! Among the dozens of my vassals, I have only trained these five marksmen!" Bernard's words were modest, but the smile on his face could not be suppressed. live.
"It does take some luck to cultivate such talented longbowmen. Bernard, speaking of which, I just got ten archers a few days ago! The vassals who dedicated these archers to me said that they are the best marksmen in a hundred! But because I came to Tulip at your invitation, I haven’t had time to test whether it’s true or false.”
Just when Bernard finished speaking, another earl beside him spoke.
After hearing this, Bernard glanced at the earl. This earl's name was Lakoff Honorary Cavalry, and he was an earl lord in the northern part of the Agate Principality.
However, this earl was not in harmony with the Tulip family in the past, but there was a gap between them.
This time his arrival was beyond Bernard's expectation. When he heard his words at this moment, Bernard knew that there must be something in his words.
Sure enough, the next moment, Count Lakoff continued: "I saw these sharpshooters from Bernard, your vassal today, and I couldn't help it. I wanted to use your place to try out those sharpshooters." Bernard, do you agree with whether the shooter is a marksman or not?"
After Rakov's words fell, the atmosphere around the count instantly became subtle.
The guards of those five vassals have only demonstrated their shooting skills. Now you say that you want to use their venue to try your marksmanship.
Under the spotlight, it was already clear what he was thinking.
The heirs of the nobles around him were secretly looking at Bernard. Faced with such trouble, they didn't know how the earl would react.
"Haha! Of course, Lakoff, you have come all the way, and I will definitely agree to such a small request!" However, the imaginary anger did not appear on Bernard, and he smiled and agreed directly with Lakoff. ask.
"Haha! Thank you so much Bernard!"
Count Rakov said thank you, but his hand was already waving. After one of his men saw the gesture, he immediately went down.
Not long after, everyone saw dozens of fully armed guards filing out of an underground exit of the arena.
However, the leather armor and helmets worn by these guards were all black, which immediately attracted the attention of the audience.
"Hey! What's going on? Who are these people? They don't seem to be the guards of our tulip collar!"
"Look, their movements are so neat, even neater than those of the lords' men just now!"
Faced with this scene, the audience who had not heard the conversation between the several earls started talking about it.
Especially when this group of guards walked, their movements were uniform.
When Boris saw this scene, he couldn't help but glance at Narant. He had only seen this kind of march on Narant's guards.
Of course, although the group of guards below walked neatly, he always felt that something was missing, and they did not have the beauty of Nalant's guards.
"Haha! Everyone, I am Rakaf Honorary Cavalry, and these guards are from my Honorary Cavalry family. Today I want to use Count Bernard's arena to try out the ten longbowmen I just got!"
"These ten long archers are presented by my vassals. They are all sharpshooters. Just now, there were five sharpshooters in front. It is easy to judge whether my ten archers are sharpshooters or not!"
While everyone was talking about it, Lakaff didn't even say hello, but stood directly at the front desk and explained loudly.
"The Iron Cavalry Family? This bastard is here to cause trouble for us!" Following Lakav's words, the tulip vassal exploded.
Because they all know that the Tulip family and the Iron Cavalry family are at odds.
"This bastard came here to mess up the situation on purpose!" Boris looked at Lakav and spat fiercely.
"Boris, what's going on with this cavalry family?" Narant asked Boris without knowing the inside story.
"The Iron Cavalry Family, during the Northern Expedition in the autumn, our Tulip Family team was attacking the enemy's city. As a result, the enemy's support unexpectedly bypassed us and made a surprise attack."
"But you know this, this cavalry family is responsible for protecting the rear, and they actually ran away!"
"Originally, as long as they persisted for one day, we could capture the count's big city. Then we could rely on the city and attack the enemy's reinforcements!"
"As a result, because of their escape, our Tulip family's army had to evacuate, and the siege that had been going on for five days came to nothing!"
Boris explained bitterly.
