Chapter 1510: Duel!
I cooked a pot of porridge with preserved egg and lean meat today, but I overcooked it, and the poor man was overwhelmed, so uncomfortable. …
--------------------
Of course, it could not be ruled out that some of them were regrouped remnants of soldiers, Wei Xiaobei saw that many soldiers among the two were wounded.
After all, these longbowmen and pikemen are not ordinary humans. They also have at least a two-star ordinary creature level, so their ability to escape is much better than those longbowmen in real history.
But even so, in this defeat, the losses of the Knights of the Round Table are not small.
At least 2,000 soldiers failed to escape from the battlefield, and the Knights of the Round Table also lost more than half of them.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the barracks at this time was extremely dignified, and the soldiers looked downcast and demoralized.
Probably because of the defeat and escape, the barracks were built in a very crude way, with some bonfires inside the wooden fence, and no tents were even set up.
In this way, the soldiers rested around the bonfire, while the remaining seven Knights of the Round Table gathered in front of a bonfire in the center.
At this time, Eagle Country is about to enter winter, and the temperature during the day has dropped to 5-6 degrees, and at night, it may directly break through zero.
However, it can also be seen from this that these knights of the round table don't seem to be very cold-resistant.
Around the bonfire, the knights of the round table are arguing fiercely.
Since they didn't even think about lowering their voices to cover up anything, Wei Xiaobei, who was not too far away, could easily hear them clearly.
The point of debate among these Knights of the Round Table is whether to continue fighting or withdraw to their lair.
Among them, the dispute between Lancelot and Mordred was the most intense.
Lancelot, who is the most prestigious and born among the knights of the round table, naturally holds the view of fighting again. In his opinion, if he is defeated and flees, how can he be worthy of his knight status? Even if he dies in battle, he cannot be humiliated The title of Knights of the Round Table.
King Arthur's illegitimate son, Mordred, held the opposite view. He believed that if he knew that he would lose, but rushed to die, it would be completely stupid!
The dispute between the two quickly became fierce as time passed.
Even at the back, the two drew their swords at each other, wishing to have a duel on the ideas of both sides in this simple camp, and fight to the death.
There is no doubt that before this, disputes like this have been carried out many times, and other knights of the round table have also persuaded them many times.
But this time, it seemed to be so intense that even the other Knights of the Round Table couldn't persuade them.
That Lancelot even threatened that whoever discouraged him would be his enemy, and he even threw his white gloves on Mordred's face.
In this regard, Lancelot invites Mordred to a duel and at the same time insults Mordred.
Well, everything is done for this sake, and the rest of the Knights of the Round Table can no longer stop it.
These Knights of the Round Table are all noble class, even if they are the lowest status, their birth will not be low, they have tried to dissuade them many times, and they have done everything they can.
If they continue to dissuade them, it will also damage their pride as nobles.
To put it simply, in ancient times around 500 AD, it was basically impossible for people who could receive knight education to be farmers. Only nobles had the money and time for such training.
The most critical problem here is that there are already great contradictions between Lancelot and Mordred. In front of King Arthur, it is difficult for them to have a life-and-death contest on these contradictions.
But now that the army is away, the two highest-ranking Knights of the Round Table are free from restraint, and they take advantage of this opportunity to resolve their grievances.
And based on the glory of the knights, it is impossible for the rest of the Knights of the Round Table to keep persuading them.
Undoubtedly, the upcoming duel between the two Knights of the Round Table attracted Wei Xiaobei's attention. To be honest, it was the first time Wei Xiaobei saw an authentic knight duel.
But at this time, Wei Xiaobei thought of a problem.
Why isn't that Archmage Merlin here?
Logically speaking, that Archmage Merlin should stay with the Knights of the Round Table at this time. After all, with the close relationship between Merlin and King Arthur, the Archmage Merlin who was secretly covering this expedition should be regarded as the overseer.
But after Wei Xiaobei searched all the surrounding areas, he didn't find any trace of the great mage Merlin.
You know, with Wei Xiaobei on guard, if you investigate carefully, as long as that Archmage Merlin has been to this area, it will be difficult to cover up his whereabouts. Even if the other party can hide and fly, there will always be a There will be a little smell of breath left.
Of course, Archmage Meilin didn't show up, and Wei Xiaobei didn't get entangled in this matter either.
At this time, Lancelot and Mordred had left the hill and came to the flat ground together with their horses.
Undoubtedly, duels between knights could not be played at all on the hilltop of the camp.
The two parties each entrusted a friendly Knight of the Round Table as the referee and notary, which is a necessary procedure in a knight duel.
According to the normal procedure, in fact, they should have invited more aristocrats with status and status to watch the battle, but because the conditions did not allow it at this time, they could only make do with it.
At least, besides the Knights of the Round Table, there were thousands of soldiers standing on the hill watching the battle.
Lancelot and Mordred led their horses and faced each other. The two were referees, and the notary's Knight of the Round Table stood in front of them, talking one after another.
"At this holy hour, the great eighth line of Christ, Prince of France, Lion of Britain, Knight of the Lake, Knight of King Arthur's Trust, Queen Guilivia's Bodyguard, Viscount Teran, Knights of the Round Table Lancelot and King Arthur's Trust Under the gaze of the Lord, under the watchful eye of the Lord, under the witness of Baron Reading, Knight Trapper of the Round Table, Baron Temer, Philip of the Knight of the Round Table, Jason of the Knight of the Round Table, and others, A sacred duel of honor is about to take place."
A knight of the round table as a referee described the upcoming duel in a high-pitched aria, listing the various titles of the two knights participating in the duel.
Obviously, in terms of the number of titles alone, Lancelot completely crushed Mordred.
No way, who made Lancelot come from a noble family and was raised by fairies in the lake, while Mordred is just a little-known ordinary knight of the round table at this time.
Next, the two knights of the round table who were judges stepped forward and began to cross-check the horses, armor and even weapons of Lancelot and Mordred to ensure that the two parties participating in the duel did not carry some irregular weapons , items that cause disreputable events to appear.
Of course, this specifically refers to some cheating methods during duels, such as poisoning weapons, using hand crossbows, or drugging, etc.
Each judge checked the equipment of the two duelists, after which the two judges signaled that everything was all right and signaled for distance between the two duelists.
After the two knights led the horses to a distance of one thousand meters, got on the horses, and checked the equipment by themselves, the two referees shouted at the same time to start!
Afterwards, both Lancelot and Mordred put down their visors, gently stimulated the horse's belly with the spurs on their heels, and drove the horse to a trot.
The horses of the two knights are of unusual quality, possessing a creature level of two-star terror!
Therefore, in just a few seconds, the war horse accelerated to the extreme, and at this time the distance between the two sides had rapidly shortened to less than 300 meters!
Almost in agreement, the two knights grabbed the spears hanging on the side of the saddle at this time. The spears were raised obliquely, but the spear points were aimed at the opponent who was rushing forward!
Boom!
In just a few breaths, the opposing horses sprinted past each other.
What happened at the same time was that the two duelists stabbed each other almost simultaneously.
Under the galloping speed of the war horse, the spear was endowed with a huge impact!
Even though the armors of the two knights of the round table were very strong, the spears still penetrated the bodies of both of them easily, and sent them flying under the huge impact.
The war horse could feel the disappearance of the owner on the back, so it quickly slowed down afterwards.
Before the two sides fell to the ground, the Knights of the Round Table who witnessed the duel couldn't help sighing.
They were anxious about the duel between the two sides, and regretted that they could not stop the duel. From the current situation, the final result of the duel between the two sides may be that both sides will suffer.
This is not a good thing for King Arthur's great cause.
Wei Xiaobei, who was watching the battle from a distance, would not have thought that the duel between the two Knights of the Round Table had just ended.
If it were an ordinary human being, the duel might be terminated. After all, both sides were pierced by spears, and it was impossible to continue the duel.
But here, these two knights of the round table are not ordinary humans, they are all powerful existences at the biological level four-star elite level!
Unless the head is chopped off, maybe this duel can be terminated.
Just as Wei Xiaobei expected, the two Knights of the Round Table quickly got up after falling to the ground.
And their next actions were exactly the same, they drew out their long swords and cut off the spear that pierced through their chests, and then pulled out the remaining spears from their chests without asking, and rushed towards the opponent.
bang bang bang...
In the blink of an eye, a series of interlaced clashes of long swords rang out.
In order to protect his honor, Lancelot must win the duel and kill Mordred, while Mordred is full of hatred for King Arthur, and King Arthur's subordinate Lancelot is what he must deal with. one of the guys.
But being able to kill the opponent in a duel is perfect.
Even if King Arthur is angry again, it is impossible to punish himself for it.
You know, in their hearts, duels are sacred, and anyone who attempts to interfere or veto the results of a duel will bear the burden of infamy!
