Gawain looks simple and reckless, but he is actually not stupid at all. He knew that if he wanted to win the knight melee, he must pay attention to strategy. Rushing into the enemy's formation and killing them from the beginning was definitely the stupidest way. No matter how hard one person could fight, he would never be able to defeat them. Hundreds of people, in this kind of group fight, the role of personal ability is weakened to the minimum.
Therefore, Gawain changed his previous style of being in the limelight. From the very beginning of the battle, he wandered around the periphery like a thief. Instead of stalking, he just fought guerrillas. Anyway, he defeated each one one by one, and he would never be in the limelight.
Originally, Gawain thought very well, but when he got to the arena, he realized that the others were not stupid either. There were many people who thought like him, and Gawain didn't get much advantage. But all this changed after Arthur was exposed. Those who were as determined as Gawain to take advantage of him saw Arthur and rushed towards Arthur like a vicious dog seeing a bone. He looked like he was going to eat Arthur alive.
Gawain was able to keep his composure. Although he followed Feng in beating Arthur, he still hung around on the outside, just not being in the limelight. But when he saw the strange behavior of the two Senord knights, Gawain could no longer sit back and watch!
Originally, everyone was having a fun time fighting each other with blunt weapons, and it was in line with the rules. Even Gawain was a chicken thief, and he was within the rules. The melee itself encouraged the knights to use their own methods, and strategy itself was also a type of strength. But these two knights are different, they are cheating!
Although there are no specific rules for melee fighting, even in future unrestricted fighting, there are rules that prohibit attacks on the crotch and back of the head, not to mention knight melee. In short, heavy weapons and sharp tools are absolutely not allowed in the duel field.
But Gawain saw clearly that the weapons of these two men were more than sharp. He saw with his own eyes that a knight was slashed in the abdomen with a sword. If you don't have an unopened long sword, it will be like being hit with a stick. Although it will be very painful, it will definitely not tear the skin and cause blood to flow out. Can that knight wear armor? Can a blunt sword cut through the armor?
This is obviously a foul on their part!
What's more important is that these two people are too ruthless. They are not seeking to destroy other people's fighting power, they are just aiming to kill people, and they are very ruthless.
To be honest, Gawain is a bit like the bohemian knight in martial arts novels. Maybe in small aspects he is a bit unpopular with decent people, but in big aspects he is very upright. Of course it is impossible to let these people go.
So before the two 'Senodians' could get close to Arthur, they were intercepted by Gawain.
But these two men were armed with sharp weapons, while Gawain was armed with blunt weapons, so they naturally had the upper hand. On the other side, Arthur finally opened up a bit in the battle, because the number of his enemies dropped to an acceptable level, so Arthur simply went head-to-head with them, relying on his own skills and a few The two opponents started fighting.
When the two Sennodians saw Arthur taking care of the others at an extremely fast speed, they immediately couldn't sit still, so they didn't have any scruples when they started, and directly attacked Gawain's horse with weapons!
Gawain was already at a disadvantage when one against two, but now that these two were so careless, they naturally suffered a big loss. One of them accidentally injured his horse, and the horse went crazy and threw Gawain off.
After the two men solved Gawain, they did not kill Gawain, but rode their horses towards Arthur.
Arthur had just dealt with a knight, and immediately found two knights riding towards him. Arthur didn't know that so many plots had happened before, so he took it too seriously and dealt with it at his own pace.
He did not retreat, but rode his horse to meet the two people who were rushing towards him. At the last moment, Arthur made an iron horse bridge on his horse, narrowly avoiding the attack of the two people. At the moment when the two people passed each other, he turned around. Shot down one of them.
Then he stopped caring about those two people and continued fighting other enemies.
Unexpectedly, just when Arthur's attention was focused on a confronting knight, the fallen one of the two 'Senod Knights' got up from the ground. The knight approached Arthur, jumped up, hugged him, and pulled him off his horse.
Arthur was thrown a little confused.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the stands stood up worriedly. This also includes the royal family.
Arthur was stunned. The Senodian knight who pulled Arthur down did not miss this opportunity. He raised his sword with both hands and wanted to pierce Arthur's head. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Arthur rolled to avoid the sword. The Senod knight wanted to pursue the victory, but other knights on the field came to cause trouble and blocked his pursuit.
There is no other way, that Sennod knight can only clean up these troublemakers first. Expect your teammates to complete the task.
And his companion did not live up to his expectations. The Sennod knight who had not fallen off his horse had returned to his horse and rushed towards Arthur again.
But at this moment, Gawain got a horse from nowhere, rode up again, and directly stopped the Senod knight.
Arthur also noticed the situation here. He could see that this knight was really helping him, but he didn't know who it was. He thought he was some Camelot knight. But even so, Arthur had no time to pay attention to this knight because other contestants came up again.
The two Sennod knights now understood that the knights who were still on the field were already a burden to them. Instead of leaving them to cause trouble, it was better to clear the field quickly.
After about three minutes, the knights were defeated and fell, and even Gawain fell off his horse again in the final melee. This time he fell too hard. Gawain got up, his head was dizzy, and he could only kneel on one knee to rest.
At this time, only two Sennod knights and Arthur were still confronting each other in the duel field. But the situation was still not optimistic.
The two men worked together to deal with Arthur. Arthur had a hard time dealing with it. The blunt sword he used could not hurt anyone at all, while the two men were holding killing swords. Only one stab was needed to kill Arthur.
Although the martial arts of these two people were not as solid and formal as Arthur, they were ruthless and cooperated tacitly. As they fought back and forth, Arthur fell into danger again and again, and almost died several times.
Seeing Arthur being besieged by two people, Gawain finally stood up with all his strength, tremblingly joined the battle of the three people, and took the initiative to help Arthur bear some of the attacks with his back to back.
This surprised even King Uther.
"Who helped Arthur?"
"I don't know, but no matter who it is, we should thank him." Gaius shrugged and said with a little bit of relief.
