People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

Chapter 291
"The atmosphere is really warm."

Lothar, who was in the structure of the arena like a bird's nest, felt that the auditorium above his head and the movement from the outside field were like two titans fighting hand-to-hand.

Jeanna sighed lightly: "Unfortunately, we are not in the auditorium. This should be the last arena left by the empire."

Lothar said with a smile: "Don't worry, if you can't see this competition, isn't it a memorable thing to participate in?"

Obviously, he has great confidence in this likely team competition.

"Didn't you say that we don't have to participate?"

Lothar lowered his voice: "The queen said that because of her face."

After a while, someone came to inform me.

A Greek aristocratic knight who had been waiting for a long time stepped on the back of his attendants to mount the horse.

He took the lance from his squire and pulled down the visor of his helmet.

As the iron gate squeaked up, he held his lance and kite shield and ran towards the field.

Someone murmured and introduced that he was the Earl Commander of the Agon Toplai Guard Cavalry, a typical Greek noble knight.

Although the cavalry of the Argontoplai Guards were bad, they were just a guard of honor, but their commander was not. He was always known for his bravery and combat skills, and many Latin knights were not his opponents.

However, it was different from the confidence he had when he left.

soon.

The Greek noble knight was carried out of the field.

At this moment, it was as if he had been hit by a high-speed dump truck. The pieces of exquisite armor on his chest fell to the ground, one leg was broken, and the broken bone stubble pierced the gap in the leg greaves exposed.

The people who saw this scene couldn't help but feel a little horrified.

Who is the enemy? Is it so powerful?
"Tsk, how miserable."

Jeanna casually commented.

At this time, the Varangian guard captain, who was dressed brightly and held a battle ax and a round shield, packed up his equipment and shouted. "Boys, those well-dressed but weak noble children have already been defeated!"

"Next, it's up to us to defend the majesty of the most honorable Basilisa. If we win this battle, we will all get twenty large gold coins of Suledes and a bolt of silk bestowed by His Majesty." .”

"Roar!"

The Varangian guards roared.

A group of nearly a hundred Varangian guards wearing black mail stood up one after another, and stepped into the creaking iron gate under the envious eyes of the remaining veterans.

They are the royal guards who walk at the front of the line during the military parade.

It was just that after the military parade, they immediately took off their expensive silk burqas. Obviously, for them, this is also a luxury that needs to be cherished.

However, there is a high probability that this battle will not go well.

In the end, a small half of the Varangian guards were carried out, and the rest, the officer of the Varangian guards, also looked gloomy.

After inquiring for a while, Lothar realized that the opponent of the Varangian Guard was actually the undead army sent by the envoys of the Sasanian Empire. This army has a long history and can even be traced back to the ancient Greek period.

Losing is not losing.

It's just that the two sides fought very anxiously. If this continues, the casualties will definitely be very ugly, so Her Majesty stopped it.

At this time, the royal treasurer who had met before, the wrinkled eunuch, trotted over.

There was an awkward smile on his face: "General Lothar, I'm afraid I will invite you to play next."

Lothar stood up and asked, "Is it a group battle? Our opponent is still the undead army?"

"No... Before the group battle, you probably have to fight that Frankish prince first."

"Prince Frank? You mean, the opponent who defeated the young noble knight?"

The old eunuch said embarrassingly, "That's right, it's him."

Lothar did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Okay, I accept, but I don't necessarily guarantee that I will win."

"No problem, I have to go back and report the situation to His Majesty."

After the old eunuch finished speaking, he ran away.

Jeanna reminded: "Be careful."

Lothar said "Hmm". As the first country to bring witches into the court, the Crown Prince Henry is most likely not an ordinary person. Even if he is not a spellcaster, he has at least taken potions.

She brought her "grape", this majestic war horse, was also covered with silver-white scaled horse armor at this time, and the helmet crown on the head of the horse armor was also dyed red like the remaining veterans.

Lotha got on his horse vigorously. He looked at Banruo and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will surrender if I can't win. I can borrow your talent, and nothing will happen."

Banruo nodded, and handed over a blunt lance in his hand. This kind of white beech lance for competitions is easy to break. Lothar has no intention of fighting desperately with the crown prince who has never met.

So far, this can be regarded as the second knightly competition he has participated in.

He put on a golden mask and helmet, which was the reward he had drawn today.

This kind of helmet has a strong oriental nomadic cavalry style. The human face on the mask is lifelike, and even the details of the beard and eyebrows are in place.

The defensive power of this style of helmet is obviously not as good as the "pig mouth helmet" made by Marles or the lobster helmet rewarded by the milestone of the winged commander.

But it also has the characteristics of system props-indestructible.

In addition, there is a special ability: fear!

The effect is: the fear in the heart of any enemy who looks directly at the helmet will be greatly magnified.

He galloped his horse to the iron gate, and through the gap in the gate, he could see that the field was already a mess, and the compacted mud was soaked in a large amount of blood. At this time, a group of servants were hurriedly cleaning up the ground. clutter above.

Those are the spears, shields, swords and other debris left over from the previous competition.

Squeak.

The iron gate gradually rose.

Lothar lightly clamped the horse's belly and urged the mount to come to the field.

In the ears, there was a deafening shout immediately.

Lothar was a little puzzled. He didn't expect that he was quite popular in the Eastern Empire.

on the viewing platform.

Count Leopold frowned: "Isn't it appropriate, honorable Basilisa."

Queen Lagaiyu was dressed in full dress, wearing a crown on her head, sitting on the throne, frowning slightly: "What's inappropriate?"

"As far as I know, the Marquis of Lothar is a vassal of the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the bravest warrior in my Germania. If you use him to replace your country's army, it would be disgraceful even if you win, right?"

"Oh, I am the lord of the empire, not the chief of a family. Under my command, Franks, Normans, Varangians, and even Saracens can be reused as long as they serve the lord faithfully."

"What's more, General Lothar is the new general of the Limassol Military Region in our country. He once led the army to quell the chaos of Isaac and other courtiers. It is very suitable to fight for me."

Have the rebels in Cyprus been put down?
Leopold's face could not help showing a trace of astonishment.

Didn't it be said not long ago that the Apennine fleet leased by Cyprus defeated the navy of the Eastern Empire?

Leopold had no choice but to say: "Since this is the case, there is nothing inappropriate. I must congratulate Your Majesty for gaining the allegiance of a brave and pious Crusader like Marquis Lothar."

His witch mistress was not with him, and a noble figure like Queen Lagaia must never have a spellcaster of unknown origin around him.

Anna was wearing a purple dress and standing beside Lagaia. When she saw Lothar appearing on the stage, she couldn't help showing a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, I believe that General Lothar will usher in a victory for you." .”

"Then let's wait and see."

Obviously, the empress, who has the most honorable status in the world, is not in a very happy mood at the moment.
