Chapter 98: Offering Victory (Please Collect and Recommend)
Although fortunate, the situation on the scene is not good. →At least this is the case for Arthur and Gawain. Arthur is not to be mentioned. He was originally the target of public criticism. After fighting for so long, he has already exhausted his physical strength and energy.
Gawain's situation is not much better. He has fallen off his horse twice, and the falls are not light, so his condition is not good.
The two Sennod knights are in much better condition. They have the help of the Sword of Starlon, which is much better than Arthur and his team in fighting the enemy. Arthur and his team need to hit the enemy several times with a blunt sword to be effective, but they can often kill with one blow. This is the difference.
Gawain and Arthur are each facing an enemy, and now they are in a bitter battle. Arthur's situation is not good. He was hit by a sword on his leg. Although his muscles and bones were not injured, the wound was bleeding, which greatly consumed his physical strength.
So now it should be said that Gawain has been protecting Arthur, while Arthur can only barely fight back.
"Kai, who do you think will win?"
King Uther was already sitting in his seat at this time. He was no longer worried and asked with interest. After all, things were easier to handle now. There were only four people on the field. Once there was a problem, Kai could save the situation immediately, instead of being in a mess like before. Kai was very likely to be unable to save the situation in time.
Kai squinted his eyes and looked at the situation on the field, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Arthur is still a little naive. If he had handled it better before, this situation would never happen now. Arthur didn't lose unfairly this time."
Arthur was trained by Kai himself. Kai never kept secrets from him. It was just that he was limited by Arthur's understanding ability. He couldn't really learn the essence of Bajiquan and other martial arts. The thinking gap between the East and the West could not be bridged until the 21st century AD, let alone now. But Arthur was a practical person, and what he learned was enough for him.
Arthur had limited himself to the thinking of a knight before, and many things were not brought into play, which led to the current embarrassment.
As for Kai saying that Arthur lost now, there is a reason. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if it weren't for the unknown knight helping Arthur, Arthur would have been eliminated long ago, let alone win. In addition, the problems that occurred in this melee must be explained anyway, so even if Arthur wins, he still loses.
King Uther also meant this, but he was still a little unwilling. If it weren't for this incident, the title of champion knight would have been taken by Camelot again ten years later, but now...
Thinking of this, King Uther glanced at Perrinor and Lyon who were standing aside with their heads bowed, and his mood was very bad. →
Perrinor and Lyon also lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at King Uther at all. They never thought that such a big leak would appear under their noses. This is a serious dereliction of duty. Fortunately, Kai saw some clues and let them reduce their responsibilities a little, otherwise they probably wouldn't have the face to stand here again.
At this time, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
The unknown knight (Gawain) knocked away the sword of a Sennod knight, turning the situation on the field. Gawain took the opponent's sword and cut off the opponent's neck with his backhand. At this time, Arthur also held the sword of another Sennod knight, allowing Gawain to pierce his chest with a sword!
King Uther saw this scene and stood up directly. He was an avid fan of knight duels, and Gawain's move just now was so beautiful. He couldn't help but cheer for it.
The audience was the same. Although they didn't see some details clearly, they were very satisfied with the reversal between lightning and fire.
"Who are you?" Arthur half-knelt on the ground, panting.
The knight took off his helmet when he heard this.
It's Gawain!
The moment Gawain took off his helmet, the audience exploded immediately. The duel between Gawain and Arthur yesterday is still memorable. Unexpectedly, they entered the final duel again today.
This is just like fate. Is there any more dramatic encounter than this?
"What? Do you want to fight again?" Gawain enjoyed the cheers around him. He liked this kind of grand scene very much.
Arthur looked at him with a complicated look, then looked at the Starlon sword in his hand and shook his head. He knelt on one knee, held the long sword in his hand with both hands, and presented it to Gawain.
This is the most solemn etiquette in knight etiquette. It is often used when knights pledge allegiance to the lord, indicating complete submission.
"You saved me. Knights have no tradition of swinging swords at benefactors. You deserve this victory."
Arthur certainly did not surrender by doing this. He was telling Gawain that he wholeheartedly offered his respect to the winner. This is basically the highest courtesy between knights.
On the contrary, Gawain was a little flustered by this. He didn't expect Arthur to be so straightforward and so grand.
If Gawain had a little prejudice against Arthur before, now Gawain has completely changed his view of Arthur.
King Uther took the lead and walked to the front of the stands and applauded. King Uther was naturally convinced by Gawain's performance. He saved his own son, how could a father not be grateful? What made King Uther even more pleased was Arthur's handling of the matter. This might be Arthur's own intention, but the effect of doing so was even more shocking than Arthur's victory. After this incident, it is estimated that all countries will soon sing about Arthur's actions.
This is more beautiful than simply winning.
"But, tomorrow! Victory will still be mine!"
After Gawain took over Arthur's sword, Arthur was not discouraged by this failure, but his fighting spirit was even higher.
Gawain was not angry about this, but felt very good-tempered.
"Hmph! Just wait and see!"
...
After the knights' melee ended, King Uther immediately investigated the identities and origins of the two knights, and found that these two people were not knights from Sennod at all, they were members of the Tauron rebels!
They killed the original two Sennod knights, and then used magic props to disguise themselves as the two knights and sneaked into the knights' meeting. Their swords were also made of magic, and they looked unbladed, but they were sharper than ordinary swords.
This discovery made King Uther very angry. Rebels and magic, the two things that King Uther hated the most, were actually mixed together.
If Kay and Gaius had not said that the Knights' Assembly had not yet ended and it was not advisable to make a big deal out of this matter, King Uther would have wanted to search the entire city immediately, even if he had to dig three feet into the ground to find these rebels and kill them.
