As the loud horn sounded, and amid the cheers of the crowd, Shade led the maroon horse and entered the competition venue with a sword. The Jazz on the other side also entered the venue wearing armor like him, and then
As the crowd chanted their names, the two waved to the audience together.
The sunshine this afternoon is particularly dazzling, but since it is not yet summer, the dazzling sunshine is not so hot.
Under this kind of sunshine, under the attention of millions of people, dueling with a guy who knew he was not a human but looked like a human, even Xia De felt a little hairy in the corner of his heart.
The two led the horses to the center of the venue, bowed to each other and then mounted their horses. His Majesty the King, who was sitting on the highest stage of the auditorium, did not leave because there were relics here. He picked up the small golden pistol on the small table in front of him.
, smiled and motioned to Queen Diana to cover her ears, and then pulled the trigger toward the sky.
Peng!
Shade and "Sir Hells" waved their reins at the same time and carried out the first round of face-to-face charge. Both of them had full courage. At the moment of contact, the vibration and sparks generated by the two steel swords hitting each other were enough to
Proving the power of two huge forces.
Although Shade knew that the other party could exert greater power with ordinary people's physical fitness, he did not expect that the other party's power was so strong. He did not suffer from this blow, but his mount suffered because of sharing Shade's burden.
The strength of the attack was obviously stagnant.
If the next race is still such a head-to-head encounter, Shard will not have any problems, but the horse may retire early due to internal bleeding.
"That's not okay."
Shade thought in his mind, and continued to charge forward after staggering and separating from Sir Hells, and then waved the reins to let the horse turn.
At this time, the cheers and cheers from the audience almost covered up all other sounds. Dorothy, who was watching Shade from the high stands, breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was not good at cold weapon combat, she looked
It can be concluded that Shade is definitely not at a disadvantage.
"Actually, we should give him more confidence. He has completed countless adventures that in our opinion can be called miracles. Shade's physical fitness cannot be compared to even the young lady."
Tifa whispered next to Dorothy that this stand was very close to where Queen Diana and the King were, and was reserved for Miss Carina alone. At this time, Yin Luna and her team had left, so they could talk some more
sensitive topics.
"I know he's great."
Dorothy pursed her lips and turned to look at the black-haired maid. Her eyes uncontrollably glanced at her chest. The corners of her mouth twitched but there was nothing she could do about it:
"But it is an angel-level relic after all..."
The two watched the duel off the field together. Shade continued to dodge Sir Hells' pursuit on horseback, while the latter chased behind him.
Clang!
The knight who was chasing Shade on horseback swung his sword at his back, but Shade in front seemed to be able to see what was happening behind him, and turned around and swung his sword to fight back.
The two long swords collided together, and sparks flew everywhere. At the same time, no one could clearly see the expressions of the two people behind the helmets. After this close confrontation, Shade did not continue to "escape" forward, but shook his head.
The reins change the direction of travel.
Instead, "Sir Hells" took the initiative to ride his horse to make some distance to the side. The two horses kept almost the same distance and kept pacing. Then they approached again according to the master's order, and then with another long sword exchange.
The voice is forced to bear the pressure from the master.
In a pure swordsmanship competition, except for accidents like Sister Devlin, there should be few people in the steam age who can be Shade's opponent. But obviously Sir Hells who was replaced also falls into the category of "accident", and the two swords are against each other.
After the collision, he actually withdrew his arms faster than Shade. When Shade thrust the sword again, Jazz raised his left hand and blocked his attack with his gauntlet, and then his right hand grew
The sword stabbed the lower part of Shade's helmet.
Shade also raised his gauntlet to try to block. After the two collisions, there were slash marks on Sir Hells's gauntlet, but Shade's armor was still intact.
The wrestling between the hand and the sword lasted for a while, and the two separated with a tacit understanding. They tested it again while riding the horse, and then approached again and slashed at their opponent with the sword.
People in the audience could only see that as the two horses continued to move, the swords of the two knights on the horses continued to jingle and collide, and no one could take the lead to cause an effective attack. But this didn't seem to be the case at all.
It’s not boring. The two men swinging their swords on horseback showed a sense of power and the force of the collision is something you can never see on a daily basis.
The surging emotions caused by the collision of steel are getting higher and higher little by little, and the cheers of the people are getting louder and louder with the high emotions and the desire to win the bet.
After all, the continuous swinging of swords is still burdensome for ordinary people's bodies, but it is not a big problem for Shade and "Sir Hells". Because they are wearing armor, no one can see their mouths.
Even if I move, I can't hear their voices.
"Mr. Hamilton, you really surprised me. I thought that today's young people would no longer like long swords as before. They prefer firearms. After all, the era of knights has ended."
"Sir Hells" still played his role, waving his sword and saying to Shade.
The long sword reflected the spring afternoon sun, forming a so-called "sword light" that made this exhibition match even more exciting. Shade pretended to be breathless:
"You are not bad either. You have obviously reached an age where your physical strength is weak, but you are still able to compete with young people like me."
The knight smiled, suddenly raised Shade's sword, pushed his feet forward in the stirrups, raised his weapon with his right hand, and slashed diagonally downwards.
Shade had no time to accumulate strength, so he could only hold the hilt of the sword with one hand and press the blade with the other, and was forced to block the blow. His wrist was sore and he heard cheers, and at the same time, he took the initiative to withdraw to the side, ending the short period of fighting.
A round of confrontation.
"I still have a lot of things to do, and I can't grow old yet."
Sir Hells did not catch up, and was still talking breathlessly, as if he was taking a short rest. Shade knew that the next question would touch on the characteristics of the relic, but this was what he wanted:
"Sir, what else do you have to do?"
As the voice came, the whispering elements entangled Shade's soul:
"My brother is missing."
"Lo and behold, they're in contact again!"
At the highest point of the arena, on a high platform guarded by guards in red uniforms, Queen Diana held up a telescope with great interest and looked at the situation in the arena. At this time, His Majesty the King had temporarily left, and the Queen was the only one in the stands.
And several princes and princesses. The oldest among them is the seventeen-year-old Agelina:
"Mr. Hamilton's skills are really good. He saved my life at the Opera House last year."
Agelina said softly, and also set up a telescope to look at the situation in the field, her face flushed with excitement:
"I bet Mr. Hamilton will win."
"Rejed's Hamilton is still a bit young after all."
Next to Agelina, her fifteen-year-old brother, Hoynes Cavendish, who also has the Cavendish family's iconic red hair, said that Agelina ignored him and she believed in Shade.
.
Queen Diana had already put down the telescope at this time. She touched her belly subconsciously, and then asked her daughter with a smile:
"Agelina, I found that you have been very concerned about Hamilton recently."
"Sister Lecia has often mentioned him to me recently."
The little princess said immediately, but the queen did not care about the relationship between Lecia and Shade:
"Do you like Hamilton?"
She asked her question to her daughter in this way, and the expression on Agelina's face remained unchanged. Although she often appeared immature in front of her sister, the heirs of the Cavendish family were definitely not flowers in the greenhouse.
:
"Mr. Hamilton likes mature ladies like Aunt Carina."
She didn't mention herself, but her elders. After speaking, she lowered her head and glanced at her figure. They were both Cavendish, but the figure difference between her and Carina and Lesia was really big.
.
With a just right look of lament on her face, Queen Diana held her daughter's hand:
"Although your father has other arrangements for your marriage, you are free until you are actually engaged, Agelina."
She smiled and winked at her daughter. Agelina pursed her lips and nodded. She knew that this was her mother's hint to her that as long as there was no big mistake, she could try to contact Shade.
Picking up the telescope, Agelina looked at the confrontation in the arena again. She saw Shade and Sir Hells, who were very close together, raising their feet from the horse and kicking each other at the same time. Then the two of them rolled and fell off the horse at the same time.
Amidst the continuous "Oh~" sounds from the audience, the two horses ran towards the edge of the arena, while Shade and Sir Hells each rolled on the ground and stood up, preparing for a close swordsmanship competition.
“It is indeed excellent.”
Agelina heard her mother's voice, and she nodded slightly, the burning desire in her heart stronger than ever.
"Missing brother?"
Shade moved forward violently, standing with his feet extremely stable on the ground. Feeling the power of the earth, he thrust his long sword towards Sir Hells. After reaching the ground, he felt that he could completely suppress the Sir in front of him.
Jazz swung his sword to fight back, but he was only hit once and had to retreat quickly. He moved his painful wrist and continued to speak:
To be continued...
