Chapter 279 The Strongest Dark Horse! !

"what's going on?"

Next to the gathering center for the participating knights in the tournament.

Looking at the two figures falling at the same time in the distance, Morgan couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Just now he was a little surprised that the flamboyant "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell, who was wearing incense and specially-made patterned armor, was skilled with spears on horseback.

Although it was a bit difficult to deal with "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane, he could last a dozen or so rounds no matter what.

In the blink of an eye, the horse under "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane suddenly went berserk, and "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell seized the opportunity, stabbed him with a gun, and fell straight down.

It just didn't wait for Morgan to be surprised.

At the critical juncture, "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane succeeded in counterattacking, and both of them fell off their horses.

The emergence of such a dramatic scene was not only unexpected to Morgan, but also the surrounding knights who were paying attention to the two favorites to win the championship, "Magic Mountain" and "Knight of Hundred Flowers", were a little stunned.

But soon, after reacting, all the participating knights immediately started talking.

"Is this the case?"

"Gregor Clegane and Loras Tyrell fell off their horses almost at the same time, how should this be counted?"

"Who will win this time, or both will be considered losers?"

"Both fell off their horses, and of course both lost."

"Then there is no winner in this competition?"

"Without "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane and "Knight of Hundred Flowers" Loras Tyrell, the chances of this jousting event will be greatly increased."

"Damn it, I should apply for the Immediate Spear Tournament. The winner of No.1 is an unprecedented 2 gold dragon coins, and even the runner-up of No.[-] has [-] gold dragons. I regret it, damn it"

"Who would have thought that these two would fall off their horses at the same time."

"I said, are you thinking too much? How is this competition? His Majesty the King hasn't spoken yet."

"What do you need to say? Both of them fell off their horses. Of course, they are both losers and will be eliminated."

"Boy, how many years have you been a knight? Have you participated in a tournament before?"

"you are too young"

"."

Just when all the participating knights were arguing endlessly.

The countless spectators in the stands in the distance were even more dumbfounded.

This situation has never been encountered before.

After a brief silence.

Cheers, cursing, booing, and other noisy sounds immediately rang out like a tide.

How loud were the cheers when these two entered the arena before.

That's how loud the noise was.

Even King Robert Baratheon on the highest stand was stunned when he saw this situation, and then burst out laughing.

In the noise of countless spectators in the stands.

in the circular arena.

"Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane, who turned over and stood up from the ground, already knew what happened when he quickly looked away from his opponent's beautiful white horse.

Why did the horse under him, who had been following him for a year, suddenly go berserk and out of control? It turned out that the despicable and cunning "girl" Loras Tyrell deliberately rode a mare in heat.

Otherwise, the beast under him would never suddenly go berserk.

"Damn, cunning, mean boy, I'm going to kill you!"

How could Gregor Clegane, the "Magic Mountain", bear such a despicable method with his violent temper? He felt angry and aggrieved, and immediately yelled towards the side of the arena: "Bring me my sword!"

Soon, an attendant rushed into the arena with a big sword.

Moshan stepped forward quickly, took the big sword and stretched out his hand and drew it out.

Seeing Gregor Clegane rushing towards him with a big sword and an angry face, Loras Tyrell, the "Knight of Flowers" who had just stood up empty-handed, was startled immediately, turned around and ran away when he saw this.

In the stands, a crowd of spectators who hadn't figured out the situation started clamoring again as they watched the rapidly changing situation on the field.

The handsome "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell fled in embarrassment after being kicked out by "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane with his sword.

Just when he was about to be caught up.

"Barristan Selmy," the captain of the Kingsguard in golden mighty armor, rushed into the arena.

At the competition assembly center.

Morgan looked at the slapstick field in the distance.

He knew in his heart that if the "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane hadn't pursued and killed the "Knight of Flowers" with his sword just now, these two might still have a chance to compete again, after all, the forces behind these two are powerful.

But now, there is definitely no chance.

Looking away, Morgan walked towards the wooden house not far away with a calm expression.

The "Magic Mountain" and the "Knight of Flowers" are the last team in the jousting.

After the competition between the two of them, it means that the first round of the long spear competition system is over.

Then came the "archery contest".

Morgan needs to prepare for the next game.

on the field.

"Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane's crazy behavior was still stopped by Barristan Selmy, Captain of the Kingsguard.

The Devil Mountain didn't even bother to explain, turned around and walked away with the big sword in hand.

Barristan Selmy, Captain of the Kingsguard, also saw that the white horse that "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell was riding was a mare in heat.

Although I am not ashamed to act with this "Knight of Hundred Flowers".

But he didn't say anything.

Instead, he strode towards the stand where King Robert Baratheon was.

It didn't take long.

After listening to what the Captain of the Kingsguard had said.

Robert Baratheon waved his hand.

Gregor Clegane, the "Magic Mountain" who defied the rules of the Tournament, was no longer allowed to participate in other competition formats.

The "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell, who deliberately played tricks and participated in the battle on a estrous filly, failed in this competition.

There is an hour between the "Immediate Spear Tournament" competition system and the "Archery Tournament" competition system.

This hour is also reserved for the spectators in the stands to take a short break to put water and eat.

This tournament.

Whether it is the dark red armor Morgan who made a strong appearance as a dark horse;

Or the infamous "Kingslayer" Jaime Lannister;

Or "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane and "Knight of Flowers" Loras Tyrell, who were originally favorites to win the championship but both fell to the ground.

In the just-concluded first round of the Immediately Spear Tournament, there were really too many things for everyone to chat about.

So that the waiting time of an hour does not feel long at all.

When a large number of targets are constantly placed on the spacious arena, and then lime is used to draw out the track and other preparations for the "Archery Tournament" competition system.

Following King Robert Baratheon, who was drinking heavily from his wine glass, he waved his hands.

The first round of the "Archery Contest" competition system began.

The activity center of the tournament.

Morgan and many participating knights are looking at the first three riders on the three tracks ahead.

Talking about the competition system, the rules of the two knights' confrontation are different from the "immediate jousting".

In each group of "Archery Tournament", three knights will compete on stage.

There are two methods of comparison.

One is an immediate archery competition;

The other is the archery competition on the spot under the horse;
The results of the two competitions are added together to form the final competition score.

"Remember your own track, if you go on the wrong track, you will directly lose your qualifications and become losers."

"Also, when it comes to the field, don't get me wrong, each of you can only shoot your own target"

"The result of shooting the wrong target is the same as taking the wrong track, but you will lose the qualification"

"Remember, I'll only say this once!"

Beside the track, the gray-bearded official old man looked at the three knights in front of him and warned, and he also said it to the surrounding riders.

Because of every tournament.

There are always many people who make mistakes within these two rules and are directly out of the game.

"Now, the competition begins!"

The old man's voice fell.

Three knights in armor, carrying longbows and quiveres immediately galloped out on horseback.

It is different from ordinary archery competitions.

In the "Archery Tournament" at the tournament, each participating knight carried only six arrows in his quiver.

Three arrows are used to move the bow and arrow contest at once;
The remaining three were used for the in situ bow and archery competition.

"bang bang bang"

"bang bang bang"

The hooves of the horses boomed.

When the three knights with long bows and arrows finally rushed to the huge arena.

Countless spectators in the stands gave out the warmest cheers again without hesitation.

Targets are placed at the ends of the curved track, clearly demarcated in white lime.

Each participating knight must shoot an arrow at the target at the specified position.

When the three arrows on horseback have been shot, then get off the horse and shoot the remaining three arrows on the spot, which means the end of the competition.

And all of this needs to be done within the stipulated time.

The three knights were not in the mood to enjoy the cheers of the audience in the stands at this time.

They must walk on their own track accurately, then shoot arrows at key positions, and shoot accurately, which requires great concentration.

After all, archery on horseback is not an easy task.

You must also pay attention to the track under your feet.

This is a competition that will test the contestants' bow and archery skills.

Sometimes hitting the target is already a victory.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

Soon, the three knights who appeared in the first group shot their first arrows respectively.

But they didn't bother to see if they hit it, but focused on the track under their feet, and shot the arrow again at the next mark point.

Finally, after the three knights shot their last arrows on the spot.

The three of them couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Compared with the "immediate long spear contest" and "group close combat" which require confrontation and are extremely prone to casualties, it seems that the fierce competition system.

The "Archery Tournament" competition system is relatively civilized.

But in fact, the "Archery Tournament" competition system actually requires the participating knights to have the highest technical skills in archery.

When the last knight put down the longbow in his hand.

The officials around the arena immediately stepped forward to count the results of the three knights.

Soon, the results of the Three Knights were revealed.

In the in situ archery competition, the three knights were evenly matched.

But in the horseback archery competition, the three of them were a bit miserable.

The two knights each missed an arrow, which is a serious loss of points.

Although the other knight didn't miss the target, two of his arrows missed the edge of the target, and the other arrow barely missed the circle of the target.

In this comparison, the winner of the first group is obvious.

It was the knight who didn't miss the target in the horseback archery competition.

As the captain of the Kingsguard "Barristan Selmy", who was in charge of the tournament, raised the arm of the victorious knight.

The spectators in the stands once again cheered all over the sky.

When the winning knight rode on the horse Glory, he left after receiving the cheers from the audience.

The sound of the rumbling horseshoes of the new round of competitors has been heard from afar.

Time passed slowly.

It was past noon.

The weather is beautiful today, the sun is warm and the sun is shining, and the weather is very good.

The countless spectators in the stands did not feel tired at all.

There were bursts of cheers.

The atmosphere of the whole arena was full of enthusiasm.

The activity center of the tournament.

Listening to the cheers from the distant arena again.

He had to decide the winner with another group of three knights.

So he reached out and touched the slender horse face of the "radish" who was constantly rubbing his head against his own.

Morgan got on his horse and walked towards the track ahead.

A total of 27 knights or warriors guaranteed by nobles participated in the "Archery Tournament" competition system.

As for why it is better than rewards, the more important "Immediate Spear Competition" contest system has 16 participants, and there are [-] more contestants.

One reason is that the "Archery Tournament" competition system does not require the participating knights to confront each other head-on, they will not be easily injured, and there is no danger of death, which is safe enough.

The second is because: the losers of the "Archery Tournament" competition system will not lose their armor and horses like the losers in the "Immediate Spear Tournament" competition system, which is sufficiently guaranteed.

Although the bow and archery skills required by this competition system are extremely high.

But in a comprehensive comparison, it is the best choice for some noble knights who are not strong enough, not rich enough, or some noble knights who have never seen iron and blood.

Because as long as you participate in the martial arts competition, it is a kind of glory and honor that you can take out and say.

The 27 knights participating in the "Archery Tournament" competition system, each group of three, is nine groups.

Playing now is the ninth and last group.

Morgan rode forward, stood on one of the three tracks, and waited quietly.

At the "immediate jousting" in the morning, at least he could see a few familiar figures.

But none of the "archery competitions" in Zhongtu was seen.

This also shows that there are not many people who can be as good in melee combat as in long-range archery.

"You already know the rules, so I won't talk nonsense anymore."

"The last group of the first round of the "Archery Tournament" competition system."

"start."

The voice of the old man with white hair and white beard fell.

The three horses rushed out together.

"bang bang bang"

"bang bang bang"

When the rumble of horseshoes sounded again.

Countless spectators in the stands immediately looked up to the exit of the track.

Soon, three knights wearing armor of different colors rushed out of the track.

The sharp-eyed audience immediately recognized that the extremely handsome knight with a black ponytail and dark red mighty armor was Morgan, the mighty knight who became a blockbuster in the "Joust Joust" in the morning.

a time.

The warm cheers welcoming the three knights immediately resounded throughout the audience.

Among them were quite a few shrill female voices who yelled the name "Morgan" and "Morgan".

Although the rules of the "Archery Tournament" competition system are harsh.

But Morgan still smiled and raised the longbow in his hand and waved towards the stand area where his name was most loudly called.

He waved his hand.

The cheering female voice, which had started to fall, immediately became sharper.

Morgan ignored it, paying attention to controlling the footsteps of the carrot under him, and at the same time, when he reached the first marked position.

He quickly drew out the arrow from the quiver without aiming, and shot it with his hand raised.

"whoosh"

The arrow hit the target at the end of the track with a whistling sound and hit the bull's-eye with great accuracy.

Such a distance and such a target.

With his bow and arrow skills at this time, there is no possibility of missing.

For him, the only troublesome part of the "Archery Tournament" competition system is the exclusive track that is not spacious on the ground.

The more "radish" people under him, the more excited they are.

Morgan has to be careful not to let this thing cross lanes.

"Whizzing."

Another two arrows were shot.

Morgan jumped off his horse and came to the spot-fire position.

Unlike the other two contestants, the knights shot arrows one after another.

Morgan stretched out his hand to grab it, and three arrows were placed on the longbow.

Because the performance in the morning was too amazing.

Morgan's reappearance at this time has already attracted the attention of many people.

Just when he showed his bow and archery skills in a smooth manner.

The eyes of most of the audience in the stands have been focused on him.

This makes his every move become noticeable.

Just as he stretched out his hand and drew three arrows at a time, the audience who were closest to the target and could see it most clearly became excited.

Morgan didn't have the heart to pay attention to other things at this time.

The bowstring drawn into the full moon in the hands of the undivided attention rang softly.

"whoosh whoosh"

Three arrows roared and shot out.

next second.

The moment when the three arrows hit the bull's-eye at the end of the track.

The cheers of countless spectators in the nearest stands burst out suddenly.

"Ahhhhhhhh"
