Chapter 95: Knights’ Melee (Please Collect and Recommend)

The next morning, the winter sunshine made everyone feel warm all over. There were no clouds in the sky and the wind was not strong. It was definitely a good weather for outdoor activities. So almost the entire city of Camelot mobilized to the arena outside the city. This is the venue for the Cavaliers' melee.

Because there were too many people watching the game, previous Cavaliers melee games were placed outside the city.

In the arena, more than a hundred fully armed knights were divided into two groups, one on the left and right sides of the arena. Even though the crowds outside the arena are already surging and the noise is overwhelming, the inside of the arena is still quiet. Since these knights dare to participate in the knightly melee, they are naturally extremely confident in their riding skills. Most of the knights controlled their horses very well, allowing them to maintain a basic formation amidst such huge noise.

These knights were all fully armored, and their weapons could only use unopened swords and shields. In order to maintain the fairness of the melee, the knights do not have coats of arms that represent their identity. Even the crowns are provided by the conference on their own initiative. The styles are similar, just to prevent anyone from colluding and violating the fairness of the melee.

So these more than a hundred knights all look the same. Although they look a bit monotonous, when more than a hundred heavy cavalry gather together, the momentum is very majestic. This is also one of the reasons why people like knight melee, at least the scene looks much bigger.

Following King Uther's order, the bugler on the main stand blew the horn, and the deep sound soared into the sky.

The next moment, the knights launched a charge. More than a hundred heavy cavalry launched a charge together. The momentum was definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The spectators sitting in the stands could even feel the tremors on the ground. As the knights accelerated, the deafening sound of horse hooves became increasingly loud. The more orderly it is, it's like a big drum is ringing in everyone's ears, and everyone's heart is wrapped in this unique frequency, beating together with the frequency of the horse's hooves.

With a huge roar, the two metal waves crashed into each other without reservation.

The knights collided violently in the center of the arena, and nearly 30% of the players were eliminated in the first collision. In the first collision, they were either knocked off their horses by the enemy, or they lost control of their horses and fell off.

But no one cares about what these people are like. People all focus on the knights fighting on horses. After the first collision, the two rows of knights lost their formation and mingled together. Everyone raised their weapons and tried their best to chop at the people around them. At the same time, they also tried their best to prevent themselves from being attacked. , the attack may come from the front or from the side. Now anyone who appears in front of them is an enemy.

Seeing this scene, the violent factors of the audience were aroused. They cheered and vented as much as they could, as if they were also a member of the melee. Whenever a knight was shot down, there would be many piercing screams, just like being beaten. The ones who fell to the ground looked like they were so devoted.

Looking at these fanatical people, Kai always had an unreal feeling.

The vast majority of these people are honest citizens. In the past, they seemed submissive. They would bow and salute when they saw nobles and knights far away, and they did not dare to be rude at all. But here, they have completely changed. Like this, everyone is full of swear words and slang. He yelled and cursed at those noble knights with a crazy look, wishing he could go out and fight the knights for three hundred rounds in person.

The contrast is too great.

Maybe because this is the only time they can put themselves above the Lord Knight?

…

The melee of more than a hundred knights seemed magnificent, but in fact the number of people decreased very quickly. In less than three minutes, fifty or sixty knights were rescued by the surrounding soldiers regardless of the danger. At least half of them had been trampled by war horses. Thanks to the Celts' amazing physiques, no major tragedy occurred. But even so, ten people died from being trampled.

Gaius was already very busy at this time. He led the apothecary summoned from Camelot to shuttle among the injured to see which ones could not be saved and which ones could still be saved. After Gaius opened the wounds of several knights, his expression immediately changed.

He found some unusual wounds, some obviously caused by sharp objects, and some knights' armors were even directly sliced ​​open. This is definitely not a wound that can be left by an ordinary weapon, but the problem is that the knights are not allowed to bring the long sword into the venue during the melee. How could such a sharp weapon appear?

Thinking of this, Gaius called the pharmacists summoned from the city to save people, and turned to report the matter to King Uther.

…

Arthur was riding a horse and struck a knight who was trying to attack him with a sword. Although he was holding a blunt weapon in his hand, the huge force still made the knight fall off his horse.

In a knight melee, generally speaking, if the knight is knocked off his horse, he is basically out of the game. Although this is not stipulated in the rules, most knights follow this unspoken rule. Because in the melee between the knights, the knights were all tightly dressed like tin cans. If you fall under the horse dressed like this, you will basically become a target for others.

So Arthur didn't take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but the moment he turned his head, a long sword flew out of nowhere. It hit him on the helmet all at once. Perhaps because the battle was too fierce, Arthur's helmet became loose and was actually knocked off by this blow.

Now it's great, everyone knows he is Arthur.

The audience was also surprised that their own prince actually participated in the knight melee! Think about it, the prince has won the knight tournament, and has qualified for the finals of the lance competition. Now he is participating in the knight melee. Obviously, Arthur wants to win the title of champion knight!

So the cheers shook the earth immediately.

This cheer certainly represents the public's support and love for Arthur, but in this environment, it is completely pitting Arthur.

The knights who were still fighting were reminded by the audience and immediately found Arthur and immediately regarded him as the number one target. In an instant, more than five knights targeted our Prince Arthur.

Fortunately, as a prince, Arthur still has a little privilege. Because there were also knights from Camelot participating in the melee. Although their number was not large, when they saw their prince being besieged, these knights immediately decisively abandoned their opponents and attacked the knights who besieged Arthur.

Unfortunately, the number of Camelot knights does not have a numerical advantage over contestants from other places. On the contrary, they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. After all, this is a competition facing the entire Celtic countries. The participating knights of Camelot may have an advantage in number compared to a single country, but compared with the entire Celtic countries, the disadvantage is very obvious.
