"There is such a thing!" Nalant nodded silently, this is a big deal.
Not only did he lose the fat he got, but he also lost a lot of manpower in the original attack on the city, so even vassals like Boris were gnashing their teeth at Rakov.
After getting married, Count Lakoff actually came to attend the Tulip family's grand ceremony in person. This was Sima Zhao's intention and everyone knew it.
While the two were talking, dozens of guards below had already arrived in front of the stands.
Lakov still stood at the edge of the stands and said to the dozens of guards: "Behave well. If you are just cheating, there will only be one end, death!"
"By the way, those guards at Tulip, move the target thirty meters further. Our honorary cavalry family doesn't need waste. If you can't even hit the bull's eye from a distance of a hundred meters, what kind of god are you?
Shooter, it’s better to die!”
Wow!
When Lakoff said these last words, the whole place was in an uproar.
Just now, the guards of Tulip Vassal shot at a distance of seventy meters, and everyone was boasting about the sharpshooter.
But Count Lacafe now actually said that if he couldn't hit the bull's-eye at a distance of 100 meters, it would be better to die. Isn't this just scolding the five tulip sharpshooters?
Suddenly, both the Tulip vassals in the stands and the several lords in the field turned pale. This was simply too much.
"This Lakov is too arrogant!" Boris clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Sorry, Bernard, I just said it smoothly! I didn't mean it. You also know that our cavalry family is bordered by the grasslands, so we have higher requirements for archery skills." Perhaps feeling the anger around him, Lakoff turned his head to explain in time.
One sentence.
But it's okay that he didn't explain. With his perfunctory expression, once he explained, everyone knew that this was just a taunt.
"Rakov, call your people to start! I want to see whether these archers like you are dead or alive in the end!" Being able to be an earl, naturally he will not show his emotions with a few taunts, Bernard said with a normal expression.
urge.
"Haha! Let's start!"
Lakov stopped talking and waved his hand downwards.
Immediately, ten longbowmen came out of Rakov's guard team below.
Because only five arrow targets were arranged, the ten longbowmen were divided into two groups.
Under the attention of the entire audience, the first group of five people drew their bows and drew arrows.
Whoosh whoosh!
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
The next moment, the arrow drew an arc in the air and hit the bullseye accurately.
"Wow! Really... really hit!"
"This is a hundred meters! It's amazing!"
There was an uproar in the venue instantly.
If Lakoff's words just now could be regarded as arrogant, but now they have been confirmed, and everyone in Tulip was slapped in the face.
Whoosh whoosh!
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
The second group of longbowmen under Rakov also fired a rain of arrows at this time. Not surprisingly, a second arrow appeared on each bullseye a hundred meters away.
At this moment, everyone in the venue fell silent, because the face being beaten was so ugly!
"Haha! Not bad! It seems that I did get ten sharpshooters!"
When there was silence in the field, Lacafu laughed heartily and looked at Bernard, as if he wanted to wait for Bernard's reaction.
"Sir, we want to cum again!"
At this moment, the several lords below were naturally unwilling to give in, and they all appealed to Bernard on the stage.
Under the spotlight, they are the most embarrassing ones.
Coupled with Lakoff's face, if possible, several people would want to go on stage and hack this disgusting existence like Lakoff to death.
Bernard glanced at Lakaff and was immediately ready to agree. No matter he won or lost, he would always give a few vassals a chance to try. Anyway, things would not get worse.
But when Lacafu saw Bernard about to speak, he was the first to say: "Bernard, what's the point of such a competition? How about we change the comparison, then we can see who is the real marksman!"
"What kind of comparison?"
"Since this is a gladiatorial arena, let's have a duel. They are all guards. No matter how skilled the arrows are, the most important thing is to survive on the field! And this will also add interesting content to today's ceremony. What do you think?
how!"
Although Lacafe spoke to Count Bernard, his voice was so loud that the audience could hear it, and a commotion instantly broke out.
"Then let's compare!" Bernard couldn't refuse.
It is one thing to lose, but it is another thing not to dare to compete. Besides, when it comes to the actual battle, in addition to the accuracy of archery, combat experience also determines victory or defeat.
The following five tulip marksmen have participated in many battles, and they may not lose!
"Haha, Bernard, you are really happy. Since it is a competition, you need some luck!"
"I'll bring out twenty war horses, Bernard, you bring out a shop of similar value in the east district of Tulip City, and let's have a little bet, how about it?"
Bernard glanced at Lakov and sneered: "You old fox, it turned out that you wanted to attack my Tulip City store, but just in time, I also want your war horse! Then let's bet!"
The earl was betting against each other, and naturally there was no need to sign anything for such a small amount of money. Soon, everyone below got the news.
Faced with such a competition, several Tulip vassals naturally showed their integrity and immediately began to exhort their subordinates and promise heavy rewards.
Immediately, five longbowmen from each side entered the field.
There are no rules in archer fighting. The two sides stand at both ends of the arena and wait for the horn.
Woohoo!
As the horn blew, the battle began.
The moment the battle began, the archers on both sides immediately took out arrows and put them on the bowstrings, and then quickly moved forward.
When the distance between the two sides was only 130 meters, the archers on Tulip's side began to draw their bows and shoot arrows.
Whoosh whoosh!
Several arrows shot out.
Puff puff!
However, the longbow has power limitations after all. Not only is the power insufficient at a distance of 130 meters, but the arrows also fly slowly. Each arrow is easily dodged by the opponent and shot on the muddy ground.
This was also expected by several tulip longbowmen, and they continued to set up their arrows and move forward.
The next moment, the two sides approached again, reaching a distance of 100 meters.
At this distance, the Tulip guard once again drew his bow and arrows, and another wave of arrows shot out.
Puff puff!
The five arrows still missed and were easily dodged by the opponent.
"Hey! Those Rakov guards didn't even shoot?"
At this time, the Tulip Archer had already fired two rounds of arrows, but the opponent didn't fire a single arrow, and still charged forward quickly with his long bow in hand.
"Leave them alone. Since they won't fight back, shoot them to death for the sake of honor! Shoot!"
Several tulip longbowmen looked at each other, then pulled up their longbows and started shooting.
Whoosh whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh!
In an instant, there were two more rounds of arrow rain.
Within a distance of 100 meters, the shooting trajectory is no longer a huge parabola, and the speed of the arrow immediately increases.
puff!
Soon, one of Rakov's longbowmen was shot in the right chest.
"good!"
Instantly, a burst of cheers came from the stands.
However, Lakoff's smile never diminished when he saw this scene.
"How can it be!"
The next moment, what surprised everyone was that the Lakov guard who was shot in the left chest did not fall.
Although these longbowmen also wore a layer of leather armor, the arrows were nailed into the flesh and were still hanging on the guard, but he didn't even frown, holding the longbow as if nothing had happened.
move on.
Facing the horrifying scene, the audience immediately stopped cheering, and the long archers on Tulip's side also began to breathe a little faster.
Eighty meters, seventy meters, sixty meters...
Finally, the distance between the two sides reached the most effective lethality stage of the longbow.
During this process, although several archers from the tulip collar shot two more arrows, they were unable to establish any more meritorious deeds due to psychological factors.
"Look! They're finally attacking!"
And at this juncture, the Lakov guard, who had advanced for more than a hundred meters without firing an arrow, finally raised his longbow for the first time.
Whoosh whoosh!
Puff puff!
"Ah! Ah!"
Only in this round of shooting, all the shooters on Tulip's side were not spared, and several wails were heard in an instant.
The arrows fired by the Rakov shooters accurately predicted the Tulip shooter's avoidance route.
Two unlucky guys were shot directly through the neck and fell down on the spot, while the other three were also shot in the torso and lay on the ground wailing.
"stop!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Seeing this scene, several Tulip Lords felt distressed and shouted to stop, but the guards on Lakov's side ignored it and immediately fired a second wave of arrows!
Puff puff!
Several arrows all hit the injured Tulip Longbowman, and the wailing people fell silent instantly.
