In the Celtic countries where chivalry is extremely popular, the status of knight's duel is very sacred. When a war ends with a knight's duel, both sides of the war can accept it. After all, although it is a bit ridiculous, the losses caused are
the smallest.
At most, a few knights would die in a knight's duel, while wars would cause tens of thousands of casualties. If you compare the two, you can think of which one is more cost-effective.
If it weren't for the king's face, Sendrid's nobles would have agreed long ago. Unfortunately, all this needs to wait for the king's decision. Although the king is just the leader, in public, it is very rude for nobles to make decisions beyond the king.
Such things will be despised by all countries and the entire aristocratic class.
Therefore, the nobles can only act in a hurry.
How could King Odin not feel the thoughts of the nobles under his command? His prestige has reached its lowest point after the war began. He started the war, but the war was fought in a mess under his command. It can be said that
He was bruised and bruised by the young man across from him. If Camelot didn't have too many troops, the war should have ended long ago.
It was also because of this that King Odin made the move to assassinate Kai.
Originally, although King Odin's prestige had declined at this point, it would not have caused the nobles below to resist his will so much. No matter how the war ended like this, it was not King Odin's responsibility alone. But with the assassination of someone like this,
If he did this and was discovered, then it is really King Odin's responsibility alone.
This greatly damaged King Odin's prestige.
The battle has reached this point, and the nobles have no hope of victory, so they might as well stop their losses in time. Now it just so happens that Kai has given such good conditions, giving away all his face, so it is better to borrow
Forget it.
King Odin closed his eyes and felt a burst of sadness. He, the majestic leader of a country, could not even avenge his son...
However, after being a king for so many years, he still possesses the necessary political qualities. He knows that this war can no longer be fought. At this point, if he insists on going his own way, he will only face greater failure.
The nobles in the country have begun to waver. If you continue to ignore their wishes now, you will only lose the support of the nobles completely.
"Okay! I agree! But I have a request!" Although the withdrawal of troops and peace was a foregone conclusion, thinking of his son who died tragically, King Odin decided to be willful! He had to make King Uther pay something, otherwise he would
It’s so frustrating that my son died!
"Say." Now that King Odin agreed to stop fighting and make peace, Kai breathed a sigh of relief. As for King Odin's request, Kai didn't have much idea.
It can't be too much. After all, this matter is a foregone conclusion.
"I have heard of your reputation before. Aren't you known as the best knight in all countries? Then prove it to me! I will send five knights here, but you can only fight alone!"
As soon as King Odin said this request, both the knights of Camelot and the nobles of Cendrid were in an uproar. This is putting Kai against five! This is so unfair!
But soon, the nobles of Cendrid quieted down. Although King Odin's request was a bit excessive, in any case, King Odin lost his crown prince, and the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man. King Odin's
Bian is already in a miserable state, but he still doesn't allow people to vent? Besides, this matter is a shame for the entire Sendrid Kingdom. They are naturally dissatisfied with Camelot. If they can, they will naturally
Would like to see Camelot deflated.
So they consciously shut up, and at most they waited until Camelot sternly protested, then took a step back. Anyway, it was impossible for them to give in voluntarily.
However, the knights of Camelot are very dissatisfied with this, and many people have begun to clamor for the war to continue. Camelot will not accept such rude requests. Anyway, they have the advantage in the war situation, so they can continue to fight.
By the way, let people from other countries take a good look at Sendrid's face.
But Kai didn't speak, he just tilted his head and thought about something.
Almost two minutes later, Kai raised his palms. All the knights of Camelot were immediately silent. As soon as the order was given, everyone followed. The nobles of Cendrid looked at each other in shock. This power was unparalleled in everyone.
It is not common between countries.
From this we can see how high Kai's prestige is in Camelot.
"I can promise..." Before Kai could say anything, the knight behind him immediately got angry and prepared to dissuade him, but Kai raised his palms again, and everyone had no choice but to return to their original positions without saying a word.
Dare to say it.
King Odin was amazed when he saw this. You must know that even he, the king, may not have the prestige of Kai in his own country.
"But I also have a condition."
When King Odin saw this scene, he felt a little guilty for some reason.
"explain."
"If I win, your compensation needs to be doubled!" Fifty thousand becomes one hundred thousand!
King Odin's expression changed. When it came to the previous compensation of fifty thousand gold coins, Odin could grit his teeth and pay for it, but one hundred thousand... As mentioned earlier, nowadays, the royal families of various countries don't actually have much cash in hand. One hundred thousand gold coins
In order to pay the compensation, King Odin could only sell some royal property.
But considering the huge advantage of five against one, King Odin didn't want to refuse. After all, if he didn't dare to accept five against one, then Cendred would become a big joke tomorrow.
"Okay!" King Odin said through gritted teeth.
Contracts written in black and white are not popular these days. What matters is reputation. King Odin agreed in front of so many knights and nobles, so he had no room for regrets. Otherwise, let’s not talk about what would happen to Camelot.
, the knights and nobles in his country will take the initiative to let King Odin fulfill his promise, because this is not only related to the reputation of King Odin, but also the honor of everyone present.
They are witnesses. If one party fails to fulfill its responsibilities, then they have the obligation to ensure fair execution. Although people of this age are rude and backward, they also have their lovely parts.
"Then I will decide the competition events, no problem?" This is what it should be. King Odin has taken advantage of five against one. If he is pushing the envelope, it would be too unscrupulous.
"Okay!" King Odin naturally wouldn't embarrass Kai because of this problem. It would be too disrespectful.
Kai had already thought about it. If he wanted to go one-on-five without being too out of the ordinary, the best way would be the lance competition in the knight's jousting (horseback jousting competition), which involves two knights charging at each other with huge cork lances.
, this game method is considered to be the safest event in the Celtic Cavaliers competition, with the lowest mortality rate. Moreover, this event is one-on-one between two knights. It is impossible for five knights to compete together, so that they only have to face each other at one time.
an enemy.
But just when Kai was about to propose a competition event, suddenly a Camelot knight came from afar and said something in Kai's ear.
Kai's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he immediately turned to King Odin and said: "I don't think it's so troublesome. Let's use the simplest event to decide the outcome - knight duel! I'm one against five, let them do it together.
!”
After hearing this, the Sendred camp immediately cursed loudly. This was simply a naked insult!
