Chapter 41 On and Off the Field
"I think you don't need to worry about this, Your Majesty. You have also seen the two previous games of the people sent by Prince Theodore. They barely made it to the finals. Lord Nicholas is definitely able to deal with it. Even if we fail for a moment, we will
There will definitely be people who can help Your Majesty solve this problem."
"Then I will all have to rely on you, Your Excellency Constance." With such preparations, Emperor Mikhail, who felt a little at ease, could not help but nodded slightly, and at this time they also turned their attention back to the arena.
superior.
The bright lights dispelled the darkness, making the arena look like daylight, and the eager warriors walked to both sides, just waiting for the horn to sound for the final duel to begin.
People hurriedly finished their meal and returned to their seats to watch the duel that was about to begin. They whispered to each other and excitedly talked to each other about who would win. However, some people just chatted after dinner, while others
But some people have other motives.
Looking at the field, Andrea Doria asked Alfred, the retainer standing next to him: "What do you think of the skills of the newly sent Kipchak under Theodore, Afu?
"He is not very good at martial arts, and he is not very interested in this kind of martial arts competition. He just saw that Emperor Mikhail's illegitimate son actually faced off against Prince Theodor's people, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
But on the side, Alfred, who was still wearing his helmet, replied coldly in a hoarse voice: "In my eyes, they are all the same...vulnerable."
"Ah, I knew I shouldn't ask you." Andrea, who put his hand on his forehead, couldn't help but shook his head, knowing that if he continued to ask, he wouldn't be able to ask anything. Although Alfred had a very sharp hand, he couldn't help but shake his head.
The knife was really not a very useful servant in other aspects, so he had no choice but to give up.
At this moment, Fernand Piero, who had been sitting next to him, also noticed Andrea's worry but smiled slightly and asked: "Is it possible that you are a little worried, Andrea?"
And Andrea, who was frowning, replied hesitantly: "Absolutely...after all, some variables cannot be calculated. The Greeks always like to do these boring things and waste our time here.
"
"Are you still worried about Miss Antonia?" Fernand said sharply after seeing the crux of the matter.
"So what? Even though we now know that the child is in the city, we can only waste our time here with the Greeks." Andrea said sadly without concealing the displeasure in her heart.
Seeing the anxiety of the young man in front of him, Fernand shrugged slightly and persuaded: "The quarrels at the top have always been like this, right? After all, it is the normal state to break the rules! As long as Miss Antonia is still in the city, I believe our spies will always be there.
If you can find her, you don't have to worry too much. Now let's see if the illegitimate son of His Majesty the Emperor can handle the barbaric Kipchaks, but with Alfred around then, even if something unexpected happens
There won’t be any big problem.”
"If possible, I would rather not have such an accident." Andrea then said coldly. If it weren't for the Greek playboy trying to dominate the arena, Alfred should have been a sure winner against the Kipchak warrior on the arena.
Germany, but the current situation has caused variables in his plan. It would be terrible if something unexpected happened. After all, no one can guarantee that Prince Theodore will really have no second hand after suffering a hidden loss.
Ready.
…
The horn sounded loudly, and the duel officially began——
The final decisive battle was fought on foot, and the warriors were free to choose their own weapons. Nicholas and Justinian, who entered the arena, went to both sides to choose their own weapons. There were all kinds of styles, including spears.
There are swords, hooks, sickles, and hammers, and the styles are also very rich. Some are made in Byzantium, some are imported from the west, and there are even weapons captured after fighting with Eastern invaders.
Justinian glanced over, and then stepped forward, and he was also thinking about what kind of weapon was more suitable to use. In the previous competition, in order to hide his clumsiness and cover himself, he used the scimitar commonly used by the Kipchaks.
It is extremely difficult to deal with heavy armored units because of the lack of armor-breaking ability. The forced ambush of the enemy in the previous two games is not entirely a cover-up, but more of a helplessness - it seems that I have been accustomed to using broad swords on the battlefield.
became the first choice.
However, this option was quickly eliminated by Justinian, because the way he looked wearing a Kipchak-style armor and wielding a broad sword was too eye-catching, which might arouse the suspicion of those people. And looking not far away
Nicholas, who was already ready to strut towards the center of the field, Justinian finally made the decision to pick up a heavy hammer from among the many weapons as his weapon in the battle and slowly walked towards the field.
Prince Theodore and Hendryl, who had witnessed Justinian's chosen weapon and witnessed Justinian's fighting methods, could not help but be stunned - this was an exquisitely crafted page hammer.
, the lines on it are clearly visible, and the edges and corners on the hammer head also make people feel how powerful this weapon is, enough to
Everyone is afraid of it. In the eyes of others, it is not unusual for the Kipchaks, who are nomads, to choose this kind of weapon. However, after witnessing the assassin-like agility at this time, they really can't imagine how Justinian used it.
A heavy, short, blunt weapon was used to deal with Nicholas Ovania, who was holding a long sword.
But now it was too late to stop him. Wearing solid but not fancy armor, Justinian stood opposite Nicholas, who was a guard. In sharp contrast, he saw the slender noble, wearing a
The extremely gorgeous silver armor was polished so brightly that it was dazzling, and it was inlaid with gems. The cape on his shoulders was equally gorgeous, woven with magnificent patterns.
It seems that the emperor's illegitimate son thinks he has a chance to win, so he wants to defeat me in one fell swoop with such a high profile!
Seeing what the other party was thinking, Justinian thought to himself, and he also showed a contemptuous sneer under the mask. Sure enough, the other party really misjudged him and thought he was an easy character to deal with, so
That's why he was so arrogant and didn't take the duel to heart at all.
"That's good, it's time to give them a surprise, isn't it!" Justinian shrugged leisurely and murmured to himself, and the heavy page hammer in his hand was already eager to try. (To be completed.
