Along with the referee's announcement, the horn sounded, the drums beat, and the cheers from the audience came like a wave. The falling gate was pulled up little by little, and the Storm Army formed a square formation and slowly walked into the arena.
.
After Shiloh put down the burden in his heart, he obviously became much calmer. He rode on the horse, stretched out his hand to wave to the surrounding audience, and then stayed on the viewing platform, looking at the two people sitting together from a distance.
The Prince and Princess Fatima.
The audience also cheered like a huge wave at this time. After all, Hilo is now the only representative team with members of the royal family. It is also a super dark horse that entered the top six in the Royal City Competition for the first time.
Some viewers are even still wondering why there wasn't much attention paid to the Stormtroopers before, and... why His Highness Shiloh, who was once notorious, is now like a different person, transformed into the final winner of the glory of the Pontos royal family.
Flag bearer.
After the Storm Army entered the arena, accompanied by the referee's voice, the gate on the opposite side of the arena was opened little by little, and the Desert People team poured into the arena. All halfling Ostrich Knights slaughtered the Bloody Lion Corps, showing their ferocity.
The legendary creature——Earth Dragon.
The second prince looked at the four major armies of the Storm Army, without caring, and whispered to Princess Fatima: "Congratulations, Your Highness, it seems that the crown of this Royal City Competition will definitely be won by Your Highness."
Princess Fatima was half lying on the armchair, not paying attention to the second prince's false congratulations, but looking at the second prince with a half-smile.
"The person who benefits the most from this competition should be you, the second prince."
The two of them smiled knowingly and stopped whispering.
McMahon also sat in his seat without saying a word. Roddy turned around and looked at this old man who had been with him on the battlefield for half his life and regarded the honor of the empire as his greatest treasure. He took the initiative to wave to McMahon and let him sit down.
around.
"Old man, I heard that you secretly aided that boy from Hilo?"
McMahon didn't deny it and nodded.
Roddy looked at McMahon's appearance and knew that he was still worried about the Desert People's promotion. He smiled and said: "Well done. Today, let's watch the performance of Shiloh."
McMahon was surprised when he heard this. He originally thought that Rody would give him a beating to keep distance from the princes, but unexpectedly it was a compliment. He couldn't help but secretly thought that what he had thought before was indeed correct. Roddy was indeed
The one I'm most optimistic about is this Third Highness.
The referee was about to announce the start of the game loudly. At this moment, Hilo suddenly rode up to the front of the formation. He raised his hand and attracted everyone's attention to himself.
"Your Highness Hilo, the competition is about to begin. Do you have anything to say?"
The breeze was blowing, and Shiloh scanned the whole place like a great prince, and finally showed a confident smile. He whipped up his horse whip, pointed at the desert people opposite, and said loudly: "Today's battle, I request that the competition system be changed to
Fight to the death!"
As soon as this statement came out, the crowd was in an uproar. Even the magistrate couldn't believe his ears and asked stupidly: "Death to death, fight to the death?"
"Yes, let's change it to a death match...Princess Fatima, do you dare to accept the second death match of the Pontos royal family?!"
Princess Fatima frowned slightly and looked at the second prince. The second prince was also quite surprised. He never thought that his third brother, who he thought was timid and fearful of trouble, would one day dare to ask for a contest in the royal city competition.
Fight to the death.
Even the eldest prince's bloody lion regiment ended up being wiped out in a deadly battle with the desert people. Why did Shiloh say such heroic words?
How could he say this!
How dare he say this!
The second prince was about to scold him when he suddenly caught sight of Rody staring at him from the corner of his eye. His body trembled and he suppressed the words in his mouth. He lowered his head silently as if nothing happened.
Rody withdrew his gaze and nodded to the judge. The judge trembled and announced in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has decreed that this match should be changed to a death match."
Hearing these words, the second prince's face instantly darkened. He felt as if he had been tricked into something, and this arrangement left him unable to resist at all.
This kid Hilo, this kid Hilo... Damn it, I should have thought of it a long time ago. How could Hilo not help each other as he said? He really had other agendas, and it wasn't revealed until now!
This brat pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger, so he was severely punished!
At this moment, the second prince finally regarded Hilo as his direct enemy, and began to secretly plan how to take revenge on Hilo.
At this time, Shiloh no longer cared about what the second prince was thinking. Hearing the magistrate's words, he smiled with satisfaction, and then looked at the desert man's eyes, which instantly became extremely cold.
He raised his arms and shouted: "Storm Army——"
"For His Highness, I will not retreat!!!"
The battle begins.
Since the Storm Army lacked knights, they were unable to confront the Desert People like the Bloody Lions before. The Halflings immediately took advantage of their speed and rushed towards the Storm Army like scattered sparrows, the crossbows in their hands flashing.
With cold light and bloodthirsty eyes, he looked at the faces of the Stormtroopers, his throat hurting.
These halflings are good at bows, arrows and crossbows, and everyone is a good archer. In their eyes, since Hilo is so ungrateful and demands a fight to the death, there is no need to hold back and just slaughter the Storm Army completely.
The halfling quickly approached, and Connor immediately gave the order. The Storm Army immediately moved forward, protecting Shiloh in the middle, while 25 armored guards formed a square formation, raised their tower shields, and protected all the Storm Army soldiers.
Really, water is blocked.
Ding ding ding.
The crossbow arrows flew in and landed on the tower shield and were easily deflected. The armored guards were all tall, and their tower shields were made of fine iron and were unbreakable, just in time to restrain the halflings' long-range attacks.
The tower shield can easily defend most of the armored guards, and the parts of them that are exposed outside the shield are also protected by thick armor. Unless the halflings shoot them directly in the face, there is really nothing they can do against the armored guards.
However, the halfling was not in a hurry and circled around the Stormtrooper's iron barrel-like formation, looking for flaws.
Even though the Stormtroopers' defenses were tight, there would always be a moment of slippage. They lacked mobility and could not do anything to defeat the halflings.
At this moment, Connor saw the right opportunity and shouted: "Archer, lower the rope!"
I saw those archers immediately taking out iron arrows from their quivers, but the iron arrows they prepared this time were slightly different. The feathers of the two iron arrows were tied with several four-finger-thick hemp ropes.
"Fire the arrow!"
Following the order, the armored guards quickly deflected their shields, revealing some gaps. The archers took the opportunity to fire arrows one after another. A hail of arrows whizzed down towards the halflings, but they were twisted away by the deft ostriches one by one. Unexpectedly, there was no arrow.
middle.
The halflings laughed loudly, as if they were mocking the archers' accuracy, but before they could be proud for a few seconds, suddenly, several ostriches screamed sadly, and their bodies rose into the air, while the unprepared halflings bared their teeth and claws.
He was thrown away and fell to the ground hard, his nose bleeding.
