In the Arena in Camelot City, today is the last day of the Knights Conference, and it is also the much-anticipated lance competition final! At the same time, this is also the most eye-catching showdown of this knight's conference, Prince Arthur VS Knight Gawain!
These two people have been entangled until now, and every time they enter the final showdown, this makes the two people feel like they are destined enemies.
Accompanied by blasts of horns, two contestants wearing shining armor and riding tall horses passed by the stands. Behind them were attendants or servants holding flags. The spectators on both sides cheered without hesitation. and applause. In order to ensure that the last final was not boring, King Uther specially ordered to reward Gawain with a new horse, armor and ten servants. This made the opening of the two men look less disparate. Otherwise, Gawain's current financial situation , let alone servants and attendants, not even war horses, how can we talk about the finals?
In fact, the audience didn't care about these details at all. They immediately became extremely enthusiastic after seeing Gawain and Arthur. The two consecutive wonderful performances have won them countless fans.
The shadow of the sun hangs high, and the golden sunlight shines on the arena. The enthusiasm of the audience under the sun made the temperature of the venue seem to have returned to midsummer, making people sweat profusely. Arthur and Gawain rode their horses to both ends of the track, and the climax of the entire knights' meeting, the final of the lance competition, was about to begin. The audience devoted all their enthusiasm to this final battle, cheering loudly the names of the two knights.
After routine security inquiries, both Arthur and Gawain took off their gorgeous cloaks, put on their helmets, and rode their horses to the scheduled starting point of the race. At this moment, everyone held their breath, and the most climax time had arrived.
The two knights, with the help of their attendants, fixed their shields with their left hands and picked up cork lances with their right hands. After that, they both hit the shield with their lances, signaling to the referee that the game could begin.
The horn sounds for the charge!
The two knights used the spurs on their heels to stimulate the horses to accelerate and charge.
"Touch!" "Touch!"
The two horses passed each other so fast that one could hardly see what was going on. Only the flying sawdust proved the confrontation between the two knights. There seemed to be no winner in the first round, and the lively audience cheered in unison, but everyone in the know saw the problem.
"It seems that Arthur's condition is not good." Kai turned sideways and said to King Uther while applauding along with the crowd.
Arthur was injured in the melee between the knights yesterday. Not only was there a cut on his thigh, but there were scars and bruises all over his body. When Morgana saw this situation, she tried her best to prevent Arthur from continuing to compete. On the contrary, Uther and Kai didn't care much about it.
They were all knights. In their view, being injured was too normal for a man. If he couldn't overcome this pain, then he wouldn't be a knight at all. He might as well stay at home and be a rice bug.
Arthur himself meant the same thing. How could a man shrink back because of a small problem?
"Well, if Gawain hadn't just tested him in the first round, I guess Arthur would have suffered a loss." King Uther also agreed with Kai's judgment. King Uther was also a famous knight in various countries when he was young. Now he is strengthening his muscles and bones in his old age. , but his eyesight has become more sophisticated.
What happened yesterday, Arthur has lost the possibility of winning the title of Champion Knight. King Uther's mood became much calmer because of this, and he could comment on the game calmly. Lancer competition is different from fighting on foot and relies more on skills. Arthur's advantage in strength is basically useless.
In comparison, Gao Wen, who is in better condition, has an advantage.
"Is Arthur really okay?" Morgana didn't care at all about the martial arts skills of the two. She was concerned about Arthur's safety.
"It will be okay. You can tell from what happened yesterday. Gawain is a true knight. Arthur will not be in any danger."
On this side, Arthur controlled the horse and was very happy. If it weren't for the fact that this was the first round of testing, Gawain himself had some reservations, otherwise Arthur would have been very likely to have problems in the first round.
Understanding this, Arthur immediately understood that he had to adjust his strategy. Because of the injury yesterday, his right hand holding the gun became less flexible. Therefore, if he wants to attack, he is at a huge disadvantage. The lance competition will more test his skills and physical flexibility. Gawain's riding skills and spear accuracy are now better than Arthur's. Since he relies on horse fighting, Gawain's weakness in strength is not as good as his, which can be completely ignored.
After all, the force of the collision of the lance does not rely on the knight. As long as it hits the right place at the right time and relies on the impact of the horse, the lance can cause great damage.
Therefore, Arthur can only focus on defense and compete with Gawain to see who is more resilient!
Soon, the second round of charges began.
The two rushed towards each other through the railing again.
"Touch!" "Touch!"
In the second round of sprinting, the two lances broke again, and sawdust flew everywhere. The audience just loved this scene.
The two still couldn't decide the outcome.
"Huh?" But a professional like Kai naturally saw the difference. Arthur obviously changed his strategy. Instead of taking the initiative to attack, he used his shield more to defend. This can be seen from Arthur moving his shield to defend and hitting Gawain with a slow shot.
Arthur is now stabilizing himself first, and then waiting for an opportunity to attack. Although this seems very passive, it is consistent with Arthur's current situation.
King Uther also saw it. Arthur's desire to attack quickly dropped, and instead he began to focus on defense.
In this regard, King Uther was not disappointed. On the contrary, King Uther was very happy to see Arthur able to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses according to his own conditions. Although there are great risks in doing so, everyone knows that if you defend for a long time, you will lose, but now it is undoubtedly the most suitable strategy for Arthur.
Now King Uther can only hope that Arthur can persist until Gawain shows his flaws.
…
"Touch!" "Touch!"
Two loud noises came almost at the same time. Arthur and Gawain hit each other's shields again. The lances broke and sawdust shot out. Before the flying sawdust fell, the knight on the horse had already reached the end of the track and turned his horse. Head, ready to launch the next round of attacks.
This is already the nineteenth collision!
In the audience, no one could sit in their seats. Everyone stood up because of this match of the century, stretched their necks and refused to let go of any detail. When the collision occurred, the two riders ran to the track without incident.
The cheers of men and the exclamations of women resounded throughout the arena again.
Arthur gasped, moved his sore left hand, and then opened the helmet's visor to breathe. Sweat had soaked Arthur's body, and his hair had fallen down due to sweat, blocking his sight. It's winter now! One can imagine how brutal Arthur fought in this duel.
The attendant on the side immediately took out a towel and a kettle. Arthur took the towel and wiped it on his face randomly, then took the kettle and drank himself full.
But his eyes never left his opponent.
After nineteen consecutive sprints, eleven of Arthur's lances were broken, and all of Gawain's lances were broken. From this point of view, there is no doubt that Gawain has an absolute advantage. Fortunately, the Knights Conference of Camelot does not use this to calculate results. The nobles of the Knights Conference of Camelot are very simple and rude. Unless one party surrenders or is knocked down, the outcome will not be determined. Like other knight competitions in other places, the number of hits, hit position and number of lance breaks will be used to calculate small points to determine victory or defeat.
