Chapter 99: Lance Finals (Please Collect and Recommend)

In the arena in Camelot, today is the last day of the Knights' Conference, and it is also the final of the lance competition that everyone is looking forward to! At the same time, this is also the most anticipated duel of this Knights' Conference, Prince Arthur VS Knight Gawain!

These two people have been entangled until now, and every time they enter the final duel, they have a sense of fateful enemies between them.

Accompanied by the sound of horns, the two contestants wearing shining armor and riding tall war horses passed in front of the stands. Behind them were attendants or servants holding flags. The audience on both sides did not hesitate to cheer and applaud. In order to ensure that the last final was not boring, King Uther specially ordered to reward Gawain with a new war horse, armor and ten servants, which made the opening of the two people look less disparate. Otherwise, with Gawain's current financial situation, let alone servants and attendants, he didn't even have a war horse, so what was the final?

In fact, the audience didn't care about these details at all. After seeing Gawain and Arthur, they immediately became extremely enthusiastic. The two men's two consecutive wonderful performances have won them countless fans.

The sun was high in the sky, and the golden sunlight was shining on the arena. The enthusiasm of the audience under the sun made the temperature of the venue seem to have returned to midsummer, and it was so hot that people were sweating profusely. Arthur and Gawain rode to the two ends of the runway. The climax of the entire knight conference, the final of the lance competition was about to begin. The audience poured all their enthusiasm into this final battle, cheering the names of the two knights loudly.

After the routine safety inquiries, Arthur and Gawain both took off their gorgeous cloaks, put on helmets, and rode their war horses to the scheduled starting point of the game. At this moment, everyone held their breath, and the climax time had arrived.

With the help of the attendants, the two knights fixed their shields with their left hands and picked up the cork lances with their right hands. After that, they both knocked on the shields with their lances, indicating that the referee could start the game.

The horn representing the charge sounded!

The two knights used the spurs on their heels to stimulate the war horses to accelerate the charge.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The two horses crossed each other so fast that it was almost impossible to see what happened. Only the flying sawdust proved the confrontation between the two knights. The first round seemed to be evenly matched. The spectators cheered in unison, but those who knew the matter could see the problem.

"It seems that Arthur is not in good condition." Kai applauded with the crowd and said to King Uther sideways.

Arthur was injured in the knight melee yesterday. Not only was there a cut on his thigh, but his body was also covered with scars and bruises. When Morgana saw this, she tried her best to stop Arthur from continuing to participate. On the contrary, Uther and Kai didn't care much about it.

They were all born as knights. In their opinion, it was normal for a man to be injured. If he couldn't even overcome this little pain, then what kind of knight is he? He might as well stay at home and be a parasite.

Arthur himself meant the same thing. How could a man retreat because of a small problem?

"Well, if Gawain hadn't just been testing in the first round, Arthur would have suffered. King Uther also agreed with Kay's judgment. When he was young, King Uther was also a famous knight in the countries. Now he is old and strengthening his muscles and bones, but his eyesight has become more sophisticated.

What happened yesterday, Arthur has lost the possibility of winning the title of champion knight. King Uther's mood has also become much calmer, and he can comment on this game calmly. The lance competition is different from the foot battle, which relies more on skills. Arthur's advantage in strength is basically useless.

In contrast, Gawain, who is in better condition, has an advantage.

"Is Arthur really okay?" Morgana didn't care about who was better in martial arts. She was more concerned about Arthur's safety.

"It's okay. From what happened yesterday, it can be seen that Gawain is a real knight and Arthur will not be in any danger. "

On this side, Arthur was also thankful to have controlled his warhorse. If it wasn't for the first round of probing and Gawain himself was holding back, Arthur would have had a very high chance of having problems in the first round.

After figuring this out, Arthur immediately realized that he had to adjust his strategy. Because of the injury yesterday, his right hand holding the lance became less flexible. So if he wanted to fight on the offensive, his disadvantage was very large. The lance competition was more about skills and physical flexibility. Gawain's riding and lance accuracy were now better than Arthur's. Because of the horse battle, Gawain's weakness in strength could be completely ignored.

After all, the power of the lance's collision did not rely on the knight. As long as it hit the right place at the right time, the lance could cause great damage with the impact of the warhorse.

So Arthur could only focus on defense and compete with Gawain to see who was more resilient!

Soon, the second round of charge began.

The two rushed towards each other across the railing again.

"Bang!" "Bang! "

In the second round of sprinting, the two lances broke again, and wood chips flew everywhere. The audience liked this scene.

The two were still evenly matched.

"Huh?" But professionals like Kai naturally saw the difference. Arthur obviously changed his strategy and did not take the initiative to attack, but used the shield more to defend. This can be seen from Arthur moving the shield to defend and hitting Gawain a beat late.

Arthur is now stabilizing himself first, and then waiting for an opportunity to attack. Although this seems very passive, it fits Arthur's current situation.

King Uther also noticed that Arthur's desire to attack was rapidly declining, and he began to focus on defense.

King Uther was not disappointed. On the contrary, he was very happy to see that Arthur could play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses according to his own conditions. Although doing so also has great risks, everyone knows that if you defend for a long time, you will lose, but now it is undoubtedly the most suitable strategy for Arthur.

Now King Uther can only hope that Arthur can hold on until Gawain reveals a flaw.

…

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Two loud noises came almost at the same time. Arthur and Gawain hit each other's shields again, the lances broke, and wood chips burst out. Before the flying wood chips fell, the knights on the horse had already run to the end of the track, turned their horses around, and prepared to launch the next round of attacks.

This is the nineteenth collision!

In the audience, no one could sit in their seats. Everyone stood up because of this century-long duel, stretching their necks and not wanting to miss any details. When the collision occurred, the two knights ran to the end of the track peacefully.

The cheers of the men and the exclamations of the women resounded throughout the stadium again.

Arthur panted, moved his sore left hand, and then opened the mask of his helmet to breathe. Sweat had soaked Arthur's whole body, and his hair had all fallen down because of sweat, blocking his vision. It's winter now! You can imagine how fierce Arthur's duel was.

The servant on the side immediately took out a towel and a water bottle. Arthur took the towel and wiped his face randomly, then took the water bottle and drank a lot of water.

But his eyes never left his opponent.

After 19 consecutive sprints, Arthur's lances broke 11, while Gawain's lances were all broken. From this point of view, there is no doubt that Gawain has an absolute advantage. Fortunately, the knights of Camelot did not use this to calculate the results. The nobles of the knights of Camelot were very simple and rough. Unless one side surrendered or was knocked down, there would be no winner. Like knight competitions in other places, the number of hits, the location of the hits, and the number of lance breaks were used to calculate the small points to determine the winner.
