Time passed by in a hurry, and the competition competition quickly reached the last stage, which was the lance competition that Ronan was least good at.
Ronan played quite easily in the entire team game. Basically no one could last too long with the cooperation of him and Aldridge. Only the team composed of Weslow and several of his comrades caused a little damage to Ronan.
A small trouble, but it didn't stop Ronan from winning.
Ronan also completed the tasks issued by the system, that is, the additional task of winning the team championship and achieving all victories without a single team member being knocked down, and gained a large amount of experience and honor points, as well as his favorite
He added extra attribute points to Charisma, which increased the number of troops, and when he upgraded to another level, he could choose new specialties and add another level of command skills.
During this period, Kress and Yatan also contacted Ronan. Their teams had all entered the city through reasonable channels. Ronan asked them to settle down for the time being, and to inquire more about the city and get information in advance.
The investigation work and everything else will be officially launched after he returns. Because of this competition, Ronan's funds have increased several times more than he expected, so he should be able to carry out follow-up plans more smoothly.
The announcement of the start of the lance competition also indicates that the competition will be held in just a few days, because the lance competition is an event with the smallest number of participants, and only knights with noble status can participate.
The most important thing is that the lance competition is different from the previous two events. It is often held separately, and almost every time a lance competition is held, someone is seriously injured. This time there are so many experts in the lance competition, many people weigh their own skills.
Later, for the sake of his own life, he did not sign up for the competition.
Ronan's game was in the afternoon, so he could happily watch how other contestants played and learn a few tricks on the spot.
At this time, the two participating knights had already entered the venue under the voice of the commentator. Because the lance competition is the most popular and most anticipated competition, Marquis Yuri arranged a commentator for each competition to introduce it to everyone.
The biographies of the participants and the thrilling competition process are explained.
Two fully armed knights have been prepared. Both of them are wearing heavy plate armor. The blouses above the breastplates have their family crests painted on them. One is wearing an iron helmet, and the mask has been pulled down at this time, and the other is wearing a helmet.
Wearing a helmet with feathers on top.
The two sorted out their equipment for the last time, and then received the specially-made lances and shields from the attendants. The lances used in the competition were shorter than regular lances. They did not have sharp metal spearheads, but were wrapped in cloth.
It is made of round wood, and this type of lance is more fragile and easier to break than the lance used in actual combat, in order to reduce casualties caused by competition.
The rules of the lance competition are relatively complicated. If you fall off the horse, you will lose directly. However, if two people do not fall off the horse after more than three rounds of fighting, the winner will be determined by the position where the two hit each other, such as hitting the armor.
One point is scored, and two points for a hit in the face. However, so far, few Tieba players can continue to play after being hit in the head. Basically, they fainted on the spot.
If both sides have the same score, then the referee will judge which side's attack is heavier and more deadly. Generally speaking, it is calculated by the degree of damage to the lance, because the greater the damage, the heavier the attack.
And if both sides fail to hit the effective target position, then the referee will judge based on the posture of the two people's bodies and the degree of control of the horse when they cross each other. The better side wins. Of course, this rarely happens, after all, the two sides
If people are hedging, the chance of being able to dodge is really low.
There is another taboo in the lance competition, that is, you must not attack the opponent's horse, otherwise you will be directly judged as a loser, and if you attack the horse maliciously, you will be shamed by everyone, lose your honor and reputation, and spread the word
Whenever you go there, you will be stabbed in the spine, because malicious attacks on horses can easily cause serious injuries or even death to the knights.
"Are you ready, Knight Ector?" The knight with the iron bucket helmet raised his lance, indicating that he was ready.
"Are Knight Philip ready?" The knight wearing a feathered helmet also raised his lance, indicating that he was ready.
"Okay, then the game is about to begin!" After the referee confirmed that the two men were ready, he blew the whistle and raised the flag in his hand.
The flag was waved fiercely, and the two knights immediately started galloping. The lance competition was very particular, and the start just now also had to be scored.
The two rushed towards each other along the straight wooden fence in the middle. In the process, they slowly raised the lances in their hands and inserted the tail end of the lance into the special buckle at the armpit of the armor. This buckle can help
The knights stabilize the lance in their hands, and it can also reduce the impact force, preventing the knight from injuring his arm or even falling off the horse due to excessive force.
Once this buckle was invented, it immediately received praise from all knights. Nowadays, knights' armors basically have a buckle at that position, which is very practical.
The two knights clamped their lances tightly under their armpits, pointing the lances parallel to the direction of their opponents, with the lance tips slightly tilted upwards. It seemed that they both hit their opponents in the face to score two points in the first round or directly knocked them off their horses.
thoughts.
The two of them were getting closer and closer, holding their breath tightly, staring at their opponents through the gaps in their masks, and the hands in the arm armor were even sweating nervously.
"Bang!" The crisp sound of the lance breaking resounded throughout the entire arena. The wooden lance head hit the helmet and exploded with a loud bang. Wood chips flew everywhere. The front half of the lance was completely shattered, leaving only the armpit hanging.
Lower the back half of the buckle.
The two hit each other in the face almost at the same time, and their upper bodies fell back sharply. They lost consciousness and fell off their horses. But Knight Eckert was more lucky. His foot was pulled by the stirrup, and he was a few seconds later than Knight Philip.
After landing, the referee awarded Eckert Knight the victory and promotion.
In just one round, the first game was over. Ronan's teeth were a little scratched by the sight. The two men were hit in the face and it hurt to look at it. The horses were full of momentum, and the huge force hit their helmets directly.
He probably suffered a concussion. How strong is that guy? He could be attacked like this and not faint.
In lance competitions, shields are required, but most knights do not know how to use shields. Shields are more like the remnants of an ancient rule. Although it has not been explicitly canceled, everyone basically just treats it as a shield by convention.
As a decoration, although it is not a foul to use a shield to block, it will be looked down upon by the new generation of knights.
But Ronan has secretly made up his mind. Since the shield is allowed to be used, then don't care what others think. Normally Ronan won't use it, but if it really doesn't work, Ronan will definitely use the shield to protect his head. He can
