In the Celtic countries where chivalry is extremely popular, the status of knight's duel is very sacred. When a war is ended by knight's duel, both sides of the war can accept it. After all, although this is a bit of a joke, the damage caused is minimal.
At most, a few knights would die in a knight's duel, while wars would cause tens of thousands of casualties. If you compare the two, you can think of which one is more cost-effective.
If it weren't for the king's face, Sendrid's nobles would have agreed long ago. Unfortunately, all this needs to wait for the king's decision. Although the king is just the leader, in public, it is a very rude thing for the nobles to make decisions beyond the king, and will be despised by all countries and the entire aristocratic class.
Therefore, the nobles can only worry.
How could King Odin not feel the thoughts of the nobles under his command? His prestige had reached its lowest point after the war began. He started the war, but the war was fought in a mess under his command. It can be said that he was beaten black and blue by the young man opposite. If Camelot didn't have too many troops, the war should have ended long ago.
It was also because of this that King Odin made the move to assassinate Kai.
Originally, although King Odin's prestige had declined at this point, it would not have caused the nobles below to resist his will so much. No matter how the war ended like this, it was not King Odin's responsibility alone. But if he was discovered using such despicable means as assassination, then it is really King Odin's responsibility alone.
This was a huge blow to King Odin's prestige.
The battle has reached this point, and the nobles have no hope of victory, so they might as well stop their losses in time. Now it just so happens that Kai has given such good conditions, giving away all his face, so it is better to borrow Forget it.
King Odin closed his eyes, feeling only a sense of sadness. He, the majestic leader of a country, could not even avenge his son...
However, after being a king for so many years, he still possesses the necessary political qualities. He knew that this war could no longer be fought. At this point, if he insists on going his own way, he will only face greater failure. The nobles in the country have begun to waver. If he still ignores their wishes now, he will only lose the support of the nobles completely.
"Okay! I agree! But I have one request!" Although the withdrawal of troops and peace was a foregone conclusion, thinking of his son who died tragically, King Odin decided to be willful! He had to make King Uther pay something, otherwise his son's death would be too frustrating!
"You say." Now that King Odin agreed to stop fighting and make peace, Kai breathed a sigh of relief. As for King Odin's request, Kai didn't have much idea. It was all about this. King Odin's request was also It can't be too much. After all, this matter is a foregone conclusion.
"I have heard of your reputation before. Aren't you known as the best knight in all countries? Then prove it to me! I will send five knights here, but you can only fight alone!"
As soon as King Odin made this request, both the knights of Camelot and the nobles of Cendrid were in an uproar. This made Kai one against five! This is so unfair!
But soon, the nobles of Sendrid became quiet. Although King Odin's request was a bit excessive, in any case, King Odin lost his crown prince. The white-haired man gave the black-haired man, King Odin's Bian Ye is already in a miserable state, why aren't people allowed to vent? Besides, this matter is a shame to the entire Sendrid Kingdom. They are naturally dissatisfied with Camelot. If possible, they would naturally like to see Camelot suffer.
So they consciously kept their mouths shut. At most, they would wait until Camelot sternly protested before they took a step back. It is impossible for them to give in voluntarily anyway.
However, the knights of Camelot were very dissatisfied with this, and many people had begun to clamor for the war to continue. Camelot will not accept such a rude request. Anyway, they have the upper hand in the battle. If they continue to fight, they will let people from other countries take a good look at Sendrid's face.
But Kai didn't speak, he just tilted his head and thought about something.
After almost two minutes, Kai raised his palm. All the Camelot knights were immediately silent. As soon as the order was given, everyone obeyed, and the nobles of Cendrid looked at each other in shock. This kind of power was not common among the countries.
From this we can see how high Kai’s prestige is in Camelot.
"I can promise..." Before Kai could say anything, the knight behind him immediately got angry and prepared to dissuade him, but Kai raised his palms again, and everyone had no choice but to return to their original positions without saying a word. Dare to say it.
King Odin was amazed when he saw this. You know, even he, the king, may not have the prestige of Kai in his own country.
"But I also have a condition."
When King Odin saw this scene, he felt a little guilty for some reason.
"explain."
"If I win, your compensation needs to be doubled!" Fifty thousand becomes one hundred thousand!
King Odin's face changed. When it came to the previous compensation of fifty thousand gold coins, Odin could grit his teeth and pay for it, but one hundred thousand... As mentioned before, nowadays, the royal families of various countries don't actually have much cash in hand. One hundred thousand gold coins Without compensation, King Odin could only sell some royal property.
But considering the huge advantage of five against one, King Odin didn't want to refuse. After all, if he didn't dare to take the five-on-one fight, then Cendred would become a big joke tomorrow.
"Okay!" King Odin said this through gritted teeth.
Contracts written in black and white are not popular these days. What matters is reputation. King Odin agreed in front of so many knights and nobles, so he had no room for regrets. Otherwise, let’s not talk about what would happen to Camelot. , the knights and nobles in his country will take the initiative to let King Odin fulfill his promise, because this is not only related to King Odin's reputation, but also related to the honor of everyone present.
They are witnesses, and if one party fails to fulfill its responsibilities, then they are obligated to ensure that it is carried out fairly. Although people of this age are rude and backward, they also have their lovely parts.
"Then I will decide the competition items, no problem?" This is what it should be. King Odin has taken advantage of five against one. If he is pushing the envelope, it would be too unscrupulous.
"Okay!" King Odin naturally wouldn't embarrass Kai because of this problem. It would be too disrespectful.
Kai had already thought about it. If he wanted to go one-on-five without being too out of the ordinary, the best way would be a lance contest (a jousting competition) in the knight's competition, where two knights charge at each other with huge cork lances. , this method of competition is considered the safest event among the Celtics and Cavaliers, with the lowest mortality rate. Moreover, this event is one-on-one between two knights. It is impossible for five knights to join together, so that they only have to face one enemy at a time.
But just when Kai was about to propose a competition event, suddenly a Camelot knight came from afar and said something in Kai's ear.
Kai's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he immediately turned to King Odin and said: "I don't think it's so troublesome. Let's use the simplest event to decide the outcome - knight duel! I'm one against five, let them do it together. !”
After hearing this, the Sendrid camp immediately cursed loudly. This was simply a naked insult!
