The next morning, the winter sunshine made everyone feel warm all over. There were no clouds in the sky and the wind was not strong. It was definitely a good weather for outdoor activities. So almost the entire city of Camelot was mobilized outside the city.
The arena. This is the venue for the knights' melee.
Because there were too many people watching the game, all previous Cavaliers Melee games were held outside the city.
In the arena, more than a hundred fully armed knights were divided into two groups, one on the left and right sides of the arena. Even though there was a crowd of people outside the arena and the noise was loud, the inside of the arena was still quiet. These knights
Since they dare to participate in the melee of knights, they are naturally extremely confident in their own riding skills. Most of the knights control their horses very well, allowing them to maintain a basic formation amidst such huge noise.
These knights are all fully armored, and their weapons can only use unopened swords and shields. In order to maintain the fairness of the melee, the knights do not have coats of arms that represent their identity. Even the crowns are provided by the conference, and the styles are similar.
This is to prevent anyone from colluding and violating the fairness of the melee.
So these more than a hundred knights all look the same. Although they look a bit monotonous, when more than a hundred heavy cavalry gather together, the momentum is very majestic. This is also one of the reasons why people like knight melee, at least the scene
It looks much bigger.
Following King Uther's order, the trumpeter on the main stand blew the horn, and the deep sound soared into the sky.
The next moment, the knights launched a charge. More than a hundred heavy cavalry launched a charge together. The momentum was definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The spectators sitting in the stands could even feel the tremors on the ground. As the knights moved
Accelerating, the deafening sound of horse hooves became more and more regular, as if a big drum was ringing in everyone's ears. Everyone's heart was wrapped in this unique frequency, beating together with the frequency of the horse's hooves.
With a huge roar, the two metal waves crashed into each other without reservation.
The knights collided violently in the center of the arena, and nearly 30% of the contestants were eliminated in the first collision. In the first collision, they were either knocked off their horses by the enemy, or they lost control of their horses.
Come down.
But no one cares about what these people are like. People all focus on the knights fighting on horseback. After the first collision, the two rows of knights lost their formation. They mingled together, and everyone raised their hands.
The weapons try their best to chop at the people around them, and at the same time, they must try their best to prevent themselves from being attacked. The attack may come from the front or from the side. Anyone who appears in front of them is an enemy now.
Seeing this scene, the violent factors of the audience were aroused. They cheered and vented as much as they could, as if they were also a member of the melee. Whenever a knight was shot down, there would be many piercing screams, just like being beaten.
It was like they were falling to the ground, they seemed so devoted.
Looking at these fanatical people, Kai always had an unreal feeling.
The vast majority of these people are honest citizens. In the past, they seemed submissive. They would bow and salute when they saw nobles and knights far away, and they did not dare to be rude at all. But here, they have completely changed.
In this way, each one of them was full of swear words and slang. They were yelling and swearing at those noble knights with crazy expressions, wishing they could fight the knights for three hundred rounds in person.
The contrast is too great.
Perhaps because this is the only moment when they can put themselves above the Lord Knight?
…
The melee of more than a hundred knights seemed magnificent, but in fact the number of knights decreased very quickly. In less than three minutes, fifty or sixty knights were rescued by the surrounding soldiers regardless of danger. At least half of them were trampled by war horses.
, and thanks to the Celtics' amazing natural physiques, no major tragedy occurred, but even so, ten people died in the trampling.
Gaius was already very busy at this time. He took the apothecary summoned from Camelot and shuttled among the injured to see which ones could not be saved and which ones could still be saved. Gaius was turning over several
After the knight's wound, his expression immediately changed.
He found some unusual wounds, some obviously caused by sharp weapons, and some knights' armors were even cut open directly. These were definitely not wounds that ordinary weapons could leave, but the problem was that the knights were fighting with their long swords.
They are not allowed to be brought into the venue, so how could such a sharp weapon appear?
Thinking of this, Gaius called the pharmacists summoned from the city to save people, and turned to report the matter to King Uther.
…
Arthur was riding a horse and struck a knight who was trying to attack him with his sword. Although he was holding a blunt weapon in his hand, the huge force still knocked the knight off his horse.
In a knight melee, generally speaking, if a knight is knocked off his horse, he is basically out of the game. Although there is no such provision in the rules, most knights follow this unspoken rule. Because in the knight melee, the knights are all strictly dressed.
He was wearing a tin can. If he was dressed like this and fell under the horse, he would basically become a living target for others.
Therefore, Arthur did not pursue the victory, but the moment he turned his head, a long sword flew out from nowhere and hit his helmet at once. Perhaps because the battle was too fierce, Arthur's helmet
It was loose, and it was knocked off by this blow.
Now it's great, everyone knows he is Arthur.
The audience was also surprised that their prince actually participated in the knight melee! Thinking again that the prince had won the knight's joust, qualified for the finals of the lance competition, and now participated in the knight melee. Obviously Arthur wanted to
Win the title of Champion Knight!
The cheers immediately shook the heaven and the earth.
This cheering certainly represents the people's support and love for Arthur, but in this environment, it is completely a trick to Arthur.
The knights who were still fighting were reminded by the audience and immediately discovered Arthur and immediately regarded him as their number one target. In an instant, more than five knights were eyeing our Prince Arthur.
Fortunately, as a prince, Arthur still has some privileges. Because there were also knights from Camelot participating in the melee. Although their number was not large, when they saw their prince being besieged, these knights immediately acted decisively.
He abandoned his opponent and attacked the knights besieging Arthur.
Unfortunately, the number of knights in Camelot does not have a numerical advantage compared to the participants from other places. On the contrary, they are still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. After all, this is a game against the entire Celtic countries. Camelot
The special participating knights may have a numerical advantage compared to a single country, but compared to the entire Celtic countries, the disadvantage is very obvious.
