Chapter 139 Free Competition
After this round of charging was over, Rhodes had only four people left on his side, while there were seven or eight people on the opposite side.

The people on the other side are so much better than us?Why did we lose so many people in one round?Rhode looked at the row of riders opposite and thought.

Thinking about it this way, my luck is not bad, I have never met a strong rider in it, otherwise I would have fallen off the horse and been eliminated like them.

The field was quickly cleared again when three brief blasts of the horn sounded and the audience in the stands burst into cheers.

Three horns sounded like the start of the free competition. After the free competition started, the riders in the arena fought on their own. The wooden lance in their hands could not be replaced even if it was broken. A rider who is good at using a lance would not be like Rhodes. In that way, some people have eliminated several people from the beginning to the present without even breaking a lance.

After hearing the three horns, the riders in the arena dispersed on horseback with lances, waiting for the horn to sound for the official competition.

Rhodes was a little nervous. He didn't need good riding skills to charge as before. No matter how good the riding skills are when people are crowded, he just needs to use the spear and shield well.

But the current free competition needs to test the riding skills of each rider. A dozen riders gallop freely in such a large arena. If the riding skills are good enough, others will have no chance of attacking you.

Rhodes chose a position he thought was better, and controlled the horse to stop.

Today's competition not only tests the rider's riding skills and horse fighting ability, but also tests the physical strength and speed of the mount under the rider.

The war horse lent to Rhodes by Michelle is considered relatively good. Although it does not have a particularly valuable bloodline, it has been bred according to the training method of professional war horses since childhood.

And after Rhodes signed up for the competition, he added money to the people in the stables every day, so that they could feed the horses with fresh soybeans as food every day. Now this war horse has been bred to be fat and strong, and it has not been tired at all after several consecutive sprints. state.

A long horn sounded, and the most exciting free competition began, and warm cheers broke out in the stands again.

Rhodes gripped the lance tightly, and lightly clamped the horse's belly to urge the horse to run forward.

In the game, the wooden lance is only useful when charging. Missing the opportunity is not as lethal as a fist wearing an iron glove.

On the battlefield, in addition to cavalry, cavalry will also carry weapons such as two-handed swords and maces. If the speed of the horse is slowed down, and if it is caught in an anxious close combat, short-handled weapons such as maces are far more powerful than cavalry. easy to use.

A noble knight in black armor rushed towards Rhodes. Rhodes adjusted his direction slightly and rushed towards him.

The speed of the war horse was very fast, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer. Rhodes could clearly see the pair of resolute blue eyes under the black helmet of the man.

Rhodes stabbed the cavalry spear with his still numb right hand, and the knight didn't even raise his shield, and directly adjusted the direction of his horse and ran past Rhodes.

After that, he turned around and shot Rhodes behind him. Rhodes was ready when he saw that the knight hadn't confronted him head-on.

He turned around and blocked the knight's lance with the shield in his left hand, then turned his horse and chased after him.

The black-armored knight's riding skills are much more skilled than Rhodes'. Every time Rhodes launches a spear, he can quickly change the direction of the horse's running and open the distance so that Rhodes' attack fails, and then chases after him. Rhodes behind him continued to launch counterattacks.

Originally, Rhodes was chasing behind the black armored knight, but before he knew it, he became behind the black armored knight. Riding on a horse and attacking the enemy in front is far easier than turning around to attack.

Rhodes stopped the horse, ready to bear the spear stabbed at him by the black armored knight.The round-headed wooden lance stabbed Rhodes in the back, and he was almost pushed directly off the horse by the huge impact brought by the lance, but at the most critical moment, Rhodes hugged the horse's head and stabilized his figure. The knight's wooden spear was also broken.

If an ordinary person was wearing armor and withstood this shot, he would probably feel as if he had been hit by a motorcycle, leaving a large bruise on his back afterwards, but Rhodes, who was wearing an iron shirt with a gold bell cover, would only feel like he was hit by a motorcycle. It was punched by someone, and he recovered quickly.

Having lost his weapon, the black-armored knight took the initiative to close the distance and prepared to attack Rhodes with the shield in his hand and his fists wearing iron gloves.

Rhodes under the helmet showed the same funny smile as on his shield, fighting with his fists close to him was exactly what he wanted.

The black-armored knight smashed the shield in his left hand towards Rhodes' head, and Rhodes used his own shield to protect his head. At this moment, the black-armored knight was affected by the illusion on the shield, thinking that Rhodes took off the helmet to attack him. He smiled evilly, and he hit harder this time.

Rhodes' shield easily blocked the attack of the black-armored knight, and the black-armored knight threw the shield at Rhodes' shield frantically.

Rhodes hung the lance on the horse's robe on a specially sewn position for the lance, and slammed the horse under the black armored knight with his right fist wearing an iron glove.

The horse is not armored, and the black armored knight wears thick armor. It is not necessary to know that the effect of beating the horse is better.

Taizu's long fist running with mixed power hit the neck of the horse under the black armored knight. The horse neighed in pain and was frightened, and then ran forward with the unsuspecting black armored knight. The white-robed knight next to Rhodes shot down the horse.

The white-robed knight had just eliminated an opponent and was about to find a new target when the black-armored knight appeared in front of him.

The black-armored knight stabilized his figure on the suddenly galloping horse, and was shot down by the white-robed knight before he could react.

The white-robed knight noticed Rhodes who was not far away. He clamped his legs on the horse and ran towards Rhodes. Rhodes picked up the lance again and started. From then on, when the distance between the two was close enough, he directly The lance was thrown towards the white-robed knight.

He felt that he wouldn't know how to use this thing anyway, so he might as well just throw it at it, maybe it might have a magical effect.

The war horse under the white-robed knight was frightened when he saw the lance flying towards it. He stopped immediately and stood up. The white-robed knight on top of it did not fall off the horse either.

The horse of the white robe knight must have never been on the battlefield, nor has it been specially trained.According to Michel, the war horse under Rhodes dared to charge against the rain of arrows.

Rhode's horse didn't stop. He used the shield on his left hand to hit the belly of the horse standing under the white-robed knight. fell to the ground.

A blue membrane was placed on the white robed knight and his steed, leading them out of the arena.

It may be that there were too many people on the field before, and it was a bit expensive for those mages to prohibit so many people from using off-body combat skills and mana, so they had to manually clear the field. Now that there are fewer people on the field, it is inconvenient to manually clear the field, so they started again Use magic to clear the field.

There were less than five people left in the arena, and one of them was a burly knight who ran towards Rhodes...
