The referee standing aside saw that the two men had finished selecting weapons, so he asked:
"Are you two ready?"
"alright!"
"Okay!" they both replied together.
The referee nodded and announced:
"The game begins!"
As the game officially started, the audience shouted again. Although they could not hear clearly what the referee said, they could see the officer acting as the referee retreating to the edge of the field.
Holding the sword in one hand and placing it at his side, he positioned himself as a driver with the tip of the sword pointed at Bolton. Ronan walked slowly and moved, and Bolton did the same. The two stared at each other's feet and kept moving to find the opponent's flaws, but
The postures of both of them were very stable, with no obvious flaws.
Defeating the opponent cleanly can gain more reputation. Ronan was no longer waiting. He suddenly stepped forward quickly, holding the sword with both hands above his head and quickly attacked Bolton.
Bolton quickly raised his sword to defend, but Ronan was actually just a feint. The moment Bolton raised his sword to defend, he suddenly stopped charging. At the same time, he let go of the hilt of the sword with his left hand, and turned his hands to slash down to the right.
Bolton reacted quickly and blocked Ronan's right side slash with his long sword. However, he hastily changed his defense and lost the opportunity. Ronan took advantage of the situation and pursued him fiercely. Bolton could only defend passively. Soon
Ronan hit him on the left arm.
"1 point!" Ronan secretly remembered, and then retreated to avoid Bolton's sword, which he stabbed out in an attempt to exchange points while his left arm was being hit.
Rotating the sword in his hand, Ronan thought about the next strategy. Bolton knew that he had encountered a strong enemy and must deal with it with caution.
After a few seconds of confrontation, Ronan attacked again. This time Bolton learned the lesson. He always paid attention to Ronan's movements to prevent Ronan from changing his moves again. However, Ronan was very straightforward this time, simple and direct.
The heavy blow was followed by a chop. The disadvantage in strength made it difficult for Bolton to pick up Ronan's heavy blow.
Without giving Bolton time to react, Ronan struck quickly and powerfully. Bolton retreated while blocking, looking for opportunities to counterattack.
Ronan's momentum was already rising. He took a big breath before another close blow. Then he entered a state of energy concentration and concentrated the power on his arms. The posture of energy strengthened the power of Ronan's blow. Bolton did not expect Ronan to do so.
Nan's strength suddenly became stronger, and the blow could not be completely blocked.
The weapon sank suddenly under the pressure of Ronan's blow, and he could hardly hold it. Ronan's sword also took advantage of the situation to overwhelm Bolton's weapon and hit Bolton's shoulder. The position of the shoulder was counted as the torso.
South scored two more points.
But Ronan did not stop the offensive. He turned his hands, and the long sword holding Bolton's weapon suddenly came sideways and slashed towards Bolton's head. If Ronan had hit the helmet with this blow, he would have scored three points directly.
Points are gained to win the game.
Bolton's weapon was suppressed and he was unable to block in time, so in order not to be hit by Ronan, he could only lean back and fall to the ground to avoid Ronan's attack.
Ronan took a step back to avoid Bolton's sword and swept it towards Ronan's leg. Then he took a step forward again and slashed with the sword towards the fallen Bolton, but Bolton rolled and avoided the sword.
, after the long sword hit the ground, Ronan quickly adjusted and swept it directly in the direction of Bolton's rolling. Bolton took the opportunity to get up, but in the process, Ronan swept his right arm again, losing a point again.
Ronan is basically guaranteed to win. He could have tried to get beaten and exchange points with his opponent to win, but Ronan doesn't want to do this. He wants to win completely.
Bolton was already a little anxious. Even if he was going to lose, he didn't want to be defeated by his opponent because it would be very embarrassing. He was the future Earl of Yangyan and a disciple of the 'Northern God of War'. How could he lose in the opening match?
It was so miserable, and about half of the nobles in the kingdom were watching.
Looking at Bolton who was breathing rapidly, Ronan already had a plan in mind. He deliberately gave Bolton a flaw, and then when Bolton couldn't resist the temptation and attacked, he held the sword with both hands and slid away from his body.
Bolton's weapon, while turning his body around behind Bolton.
Deflection!
Bolton turned back in disbelief, but it was too late. Ronan's long sword lightly knocked on his back armor, and then he turned around and raised his hands in the air to face the audience. The audience cheered in unison at the same time. Ronan enjoyed it very much.
This feeling.
As the referee declared Ronan the winner, Ronan lowered his arms, put the weapon back into the weapon rack, and performed a knight's salute with Bolton again before turning and walking toward the exit.
Ronan also triggered a new mission at this time:
"Winning the individual competition championship in the competitive competition!
Reward: 10,000 experience, 30 honor points, duelist's medal
Extra One: Defeat your opponent with a shutout in the finals
Reward: 3000 experience, 20 honor points, Road to Champion (book)
Extra 2: All battles end in victory
Reward: 10,000 experience, 30 honor points, extra attribute point
Ronan wanted both extra attribute points and new books, and the rewards for experience and honor points were also very rich, but if he was extra careful, he might still be able to complete it, but the extra two would be too difficult.
If you want to complete the extra two points, you really have to not relax at all, face every game with full concentration, and not make any mistakes. Therefore, although the extra attribute points are tempting, Ronan can only do his best.
Ronan took off his armor in the lounge, changed into his casual clothes, and then walked up the stairs to his place on the rostrum.
"Well done, Knight Roderet. Bolton's reputation in the north is not small. In this game, apart from the few mercenaries and adventurers who have been famous for a long time, the ones I'm most optimistic about are some of the more famous ones.
A young knight."
"Excuse me, Lord Marquis, I just have more experience than him!"
"Haha, Knight Roderet is still very humble. Let's stop talking and let's continue watching the game!"
Nodding, Ronan turned back and looked into the arena again.
At this time, fierce fighting was going on in the five divided competition areas on the field.
There are knights wearing fine armor, down-and-out nobles wearing randomly patchwork armor trying to become famous in a battle and get rich rewards, and there are also mercenaries and adventurers wearing studded hard leather armor and chain mail to win the champion's generous gold coin rewards.
They caught each other and fought each other, some for fame and fortune, some to prove their strength, and some simply to get more attention from the girls they liked in the stands.
In the eyes of those young aristocratic ladies, isn't having an affair with the champion of the athletic competition something worth showing off to their sisters?
In this era when entertainment activities are scarce, a slightly interesting thing is worthy of everyone's discussion for a long time.
The aristocratic ladies only compare themselves to their families, new jewelry, and who is better among their suitors. Ronan touched his chin and suddenly thought of an idea.
Maybe I can write some interesting stories from my past life into a book or compile a few scripts. If it becomes popular, I should be able to make a lot of money, but in this era, piracy is a problem.
