People who were close to Piper and the Pink City forces also stood up and applauded, but not many people were sincere.
No one who has lost a large amount of money will truly cheer for the culprit.
Obviously, Ma Ke is not that kind of vulgar person.
Seeing his lord applauding his opponent's victory, Aegor was so ashamed that he was helped up and limped out without saying a word, with his head lowered.
Others watched Yi Ge's departure silently.
What is rare is that neither the winner nor the loser received the cheers or sympathy they deserved from the audience.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right and Hendry got a cheap deal, he felt that he should appease people's hearts.
He also stood up and said loudly:
"My friends, Arthur's lucky victory has given me such a large fortune, and I should share it with you."
He paused and waited until the audience calmed down, then continued: "I will cover the accommodation, food, drinks, etc. that everyone will spend on this hunting trip."
The original plan of this group of people was to go hunting, but a few friends with higher status did not arrive, so they stayed in Shili City for a while.
Of course, they also wanted to take the opportunity to practice martial arts and teamwork.
After all, according to rumors, King Robert had already crossed the Trident River with the ridiculously large Wheel Palace and was about to return to King's Landing.
By then, according to Robert's temper, King's Landing will definitely hold a grand tourney for the new Prime Minister, Lord Eddard Stark.
Not to mention the bonus of tens of thousands of gold dragons, the opportunity to become famous in a battle and the appreciation of the kingdom's top lords are all reasons that lure free knights, minor nobles, family children without inheritance rights and other armed personnel to come to King's Landing.
Not to mention the Qingting fine wines, the swords of the West, the rare treasures shipped from the major free trade city-states, the bards singing non-stop in the taverns, and the romantic female workers that can be seen everywhere.
It is necessary to make some preparations for such a tournament.
The group was stunned for a moment, then cheered.
Although I lost the bet, I could participate in a hunting trip without spending any money, so I could make up for it a little bit.
"Now we proceed to the second game." Hendry took advantage of the situation and announced, "Sir Kalel, please designate your knight."
Logically speaking, Arthur should rest for a while, but Hendry obviously had his own ideas.
Others have been defrauded of a large amount of money by Arthur, and they will not speak up for Arthur just for a small break.
Karel Vance glanced back and forth among his family several times, and finally his eyes rested on a young man of medium height.
This man's name is Dylan Weishui. He has superb swordsmanship and agility. He is the best opponent of a brute force and inflexible berserker like Arthur.
If this man could defeat Arthur, Hendry would probably owe him a favor, Kalel thought generally.
"Dylan, would you like to..."
"I do, I do." Before Kalel could finish speaking, Dylan had already squeezed out of the crowd and replied repeatedly.
It seems that this is a freedom knight who is eager to prove himself.
When Dylan appeared in front of the crowd and saw his physique, some people booed.
After all, Aegor, who was as tall as Arthur and much stronger, was defeated, and Dylan, who was half a head shorter and didn't look very strong, was even less likely to win.
When those who are doing good things heard the disdainful boos, they immediately sneered: "What do you know? This kind of person is Arthur's opponent. When Arthur can't catch up and he is exhausted, the victory or defeat can be decided with one sword."
.”
Some people nodded in agreement, while others watched indifferently without saying a word.
Arthur felt much more relaxed when he saw his opponent.
This time, there are more people who are optimistic about Arthur, and there are also some who are optimistic about Dylan.
Compared to the previous time, opinions differed greatly.
"Gentlemen, do you need to open another betting market?" Hendry asked, trying his best to suppress his joyful tone so as not to arouse the disgust of others.
"open!"
"Come again."
Most of these people are good at martial arts, and they all have their own opinions on who will win, Arthur or Dylan, and they can't convince each other.
Moreover, Yi Ge’s losses were a bit big, and he could recover whatever he could.
Hendry nodded, "Then the odds of Arthur's victory are one to two, and Dylan's odds are two to one. How about that?"
After whispering to each other and the entourage of the nobles, the free knights nodded to express their approval of the odds.
The wealthy knights and nobles were much more calm and did not have a deep feeling about the odds.
Just like last time, the bettor first paid money to the banker Hendry before the two officially started the game.
Of course, it is not Hendry himself who collects these golden dragons, silver deer, etc., but three or four servants doing this work.
Arthur was able to sit on the sidelines and rest for a while.
After all, it is very difficult to fight with a middle-aged strong man.
"Should you cash in your ninety gold dragons now, or continue to bet?" Hendry asked Arthur across two rows of people.
"Of course, keep pressing me." Arthur stood up and said confidently.
If you don't even have the courage to win against yourself, there's no need to fight this game.
Then he walked to the center of the field and prepared to start.
Just like last time, the referee who is an officer will give the explanation first.
"Sir Arthur, I believe everyone is familiar with him, the man who defeated Aegor."
This time there was some sparse cheering.
Arthur also waved his sword in response to them.
"Dylan Waters, a knight from King's Landing, currently serves Ser Kalel Vance."
"Well-known achievements, there aren't any yet, but it doesn't matter, maybe they will be available later." The officer secretly expressed his preference.
Arthur smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Dylan also raised his hands to show off his figure.
The officer then stepped aside and Arthur and Dylan began to confront each other.
"Arthur should be careful. Although his sword is not as big as yours, it is much more flexible." Someone outside the venue reminded.
Apparently he was betting on Arthur to win.
Arthur nodded to indicate that he heard.
"If the reminder is useful, what else do you need the maester's poppy milk for?" Dylan sneered.
This must be the first time he has participated in such a competition for Kalel. From the appearance to the current confrontation, he has been unusually active.
Not surprisingly, Dylan took the lead in attacking.
He first took a step forward, leaned forward in a lunge, and then suddenly thrust out a sword.
It was very similar to the way the fencer from the previous life struck suddenly.
Since Dylan's body was half a head shorter than Arthur's, and with such a short stature, the angle of attack was quite tricky.
Roughly above and below Arthur's chest and abdominal cavity.
Arthur couldn't use his hands to swing the sword away, so he had to take a step back and try to avoid it.
Who would have thought that Dylan leaned forward, put his weight on his front legs, and swung his back legs in front, maintaining this height and continuing to attack.
Either stab or chop, extremely flexible.
And he was always not far from Arthur, unable to let Arthur's sword participate in the battle.
Arthur then backed away, but did not distance himself.
He understood that this person's style of fighting was to hit close to the body.
Due to Dylan's active attack and Arthur's helplessness, there was a burst of applause on the court.
Just by hearing this voice, you can tell that there are still many people betting on Dylan to win.
After all, Arthur had already fought a battle and had exhausted a lot of energy.
In a few breaths, the two of them had already fought to the edge of the field.
It looked like Arthur needed a hard blow to change the situation.
I don't know if this plate armor can protect me.
