Glory Riding and Cutting

Early the next morning, Ronan found out that most of the guests had arrived, and Marquis Yuri's subordinates were already calculating personnel, assigning opponents, and the order of playing.

That night, Marquis Yuri also invited a famous theater troupe from the Hinterlands to perform in the grand theater in Dunling. It told the story of Roland Dawn, an elf hero hundreds of years ago. It is said that the script was from the Hinterlands. Written by the famous playwright Begradi, it is very exaggerated, and I don't know how true it is.

But the people of Hinterland like it very much. Unfortunately, the Chenxi family has been declining since Roland, and the last heir also died in the front line. It has been extinct for more than a hundred years now.

In the next few days, Marquis Yuri also invited circus troupes and acrobatic troupes to perform in the theater every day. There is no ticket fee, and everyone can come and watch, as long as they can sit down.

Marquis Yuri also personally led the nobles to visit the arena in Dunling, which is the venue for the next match. It is a huge circular building that can accommodate thousands of people to watch at the same time.

This building used to be a gladiatorial arena, but since the abolition of slavery in the Hinterlands two hundred years ago, the gladiators have also been abolished. This behemoth was repaired by the previous Marquis of Blue Valley after being vacant for more than a hundred years Later, it became a place where the revolving door is used to hold economic conferences or large-scale performances.

The surrounding stands, with an open space of about 1,000 square meters in the middle, are divided into several parts at this time, and multiple games can be played at the same time.

In the past few days, nobles came to visit Daisy almost every day, so Ronan could only stand by and wait, listening to their boring conversations and falling asleep, or flipping through the system store to constantly improve his next plan in his mind.

Time flies by, the boring days are finally over, the economic conference just started today, Ronan has already got his own schedule, as the guardian knight of the princess, he will play in the opening match, the opponent is the northern part of the kingdom The eldest son of Earl Sunflare—Bolton Solar Knight.

It is said that Bolton has just come of age and is not yet married. He is the ideal target of many noble ladies. He is also relatively gentle, very different from his hot-tempered father, and is very loved by the people. If not unexpected, he should be the next Earl of Yang Yan. Moreover, he studied under the famous strongman in the north, Viscount Aston Lingfeng, known as the Northern God of War, and his strength should not be underestimated.

On the day of the economic conference, Ronan got up early, ate something, went to the yard to warm up, and then set off with the big team.

Mario and Aldridge also participated in the individual competition. The schedule was released yesterday. Mario and Ronan both have competitions today, while Aldridge is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Registration for the individual competition is not restricted, as long as there is You can participate with your own armor, so there are a lot of people signing up, and it is also the longest competition.

Mario only signed up for the individual competition, Aldridge will also participate in the team competition with Ronan in addition to the individual competition, and Ronan signed up for all three competitions.

Arriving at the arena, Daisy and Mario sat next to Marquis Yuri on the rostrum, and the rest of the nobles sat in the back row according to their status. Ronan, as Daisy's guardian knight, also had a seat next to Daisy. However, Ronan was the first to play, and he was already waiting in the preparation room inside the arena.

The opening ceremony is just the beginning, the first is the speech of Marquis Yuri:

Distinguished guests and citizens of Dunling, welcome to participate in this competition and congratulate the birth of my son together! I will not waste your time. Next, please enjoy the performance presented by the best crew in the kingdom. Bar!

There is a magic item on the rostrum that can increase the volume of speaking, so Yuri's voice can be clearly heard throughout the arena, even Ronan in the lounge can hear it. Following the words of Marquis Yuri, the four gates around the arena opened one after another.

First, a group of actors dressed in puppet coats and disguised as dragonmen, orcs and other alien races rushed out from the inside. Following them, several horse-drawn carriages rushed out from the passage, and there were several people on the carriages. An elf warrior wearing a gorgeous emerald green armor.

The generals brandished their whips, drove their horses and pulled the carriage to run around the puppet actors, and the actors disguised as dragonmen and orcs also turned around with their weapons and pretended to be terrified.

Then the elf warriors shouted loudly:

Your end is here, evil ones, you will pay for your actions!

Those actors who played aliens were even more exaggerated. Some accidentally fell to the ground, and some even urinated their pants directly, and a lot of water dripped from the crotch to the ground.

After that, the elven warriors rushed to kill, and the evil guys turned on their backs, rolling and crawling to avoid the attack, but they were all defeated by the heroic warriors in the end.

The plot is extremely old-fashioned, and the acting skills are extremely exaggerated, but the people like this, elevating themselves and belittling those Moran people who have been invading them, which makes them feel extremely happy.

After that, there were several acrobatic performances, animal taming, fire breathing and the like, and finally ended with a dance, and the competition finally officially started. Hearing the interlude from the host outside, Ronan silently put on the helmet, pulled up the top of the mask, moved his limbs for the last time, and stood at the exit to wait.

The gate was slowly opened, and Ronan walked out of the dark passage, and was shaken by the sudden sunlight on his face. The sunlight shone on his face through the gap in the visor, giving him a warm feeling. But it won't be warm for a few months, and winter will arrive soon.

Seeing the appearance of Ronan and Walton, the audience cheered like a mountain and a tsunami, and they couldn't wait.

The field was divided into five areas, and the match between Ronan and Bolton was held in the middle of the field. At this time, the field was simply surrounded by wooden fences, about 100 square meters, and a weapon rack was placed at the entrance on both sides.

Ronan's opponent also walked across from him, and the distance between the two was about six or seven meters. Bolton was wearing a bust, with chain mail pants and boots underneath, and his blouse was printed with his own emblem. Flat top knight helmet. After exchanging a knight's salute, the two sides began to choose weapons in the weapon rack.

There are long swords, short swords, two-handed swords, long sticks and thick-backed machetes, etc. There are no weapons such as axes and hammers that may cause serious injuries. After all, blunt strikes cannot be defended by plate armor.

Ronan chose a long sword. The hilt was about one and a half hands long, and it could be held with one hand or with both hands. Bolton had the same choice as Ronan.

Lifting the blade parallel to the eyes, Ronan squinted his eyes and checked the spine of the sword. The blade was straight and not distorted, which was standard. Ronan nodded, held the sword in his hand and gestured a few times. Looking for the feel, Bolton on the opposite side is also adapting to the weapon in his hand.

Thank you for your votes. It has just been put on the shelves and really needs your support.
