Chapter 227 Despicable
"I wonder which family wants to continue the challenge next?"
When Bertram won, Alice's mouth curled up in an unnoticeable way. She was obviously happy about the victory in the first competition. Wasn't it for this effect that she had been preparing for so long?
"Count Alice, the Jones family's vassals are indeed very powerful. It's rare to encounter such a strong opponent. Our Charles family will certainly not let them go. Let the Charles family's vassals take over the second match! Let these vassals of our family see how powerful the Jones family is!"
The representative sent by the Charles family this time was Ulric Charles, the eldest son of Earl Carlton. Ulric was the first heir to the Earl of the Charlton family. Before setting out, he had planned to severely deal a blow to the Jones family's reputation, but he did not expect that Ennis' opponent was so powerful and possessed such an extraordinary secret book.
Although his face looked a little bad, Yurik still maintained a decent tone when speaking. After all, he was representing the Charles family at the moment. If he got furious because of a competition, he would definitely become a laughing stock among other earl families.
Although everyone is now pointing their knives at the Jones family, they have not really united. Each of the major families has their own interests, and everyone's peace is only temporary. If the Jones family really falls, the major families will definitely have a fierce fight to snatch the fruits of victory.
"Viscount Yurik, as my guest, since you said so, then it will be as you wish!"
Alice had no objection. Today's competition was to strike against these earl families with ulterior motives, and the three vassals selected by Alice were all the best in Jones' territory, so Alice was not worried.
"Thank you, Earl Alice, for your help!"
As he spoke, Yurik turned around and set his sights on a short middle-aged man behind him.
The man received Yurik's gaze and nodded immediately, not at all worried about his colleague being easily defeated.
Soon, the short man came to the center of the field through the underground passage and stood face to face with Bertram.
"The vassal baron of the Jones family, Bertram Leaf! A beginner silver knight!"
"Baron of the Charles family, Sadie Lampard! Silver beginner knight!"
Bertram and Sadie stood opposite each other, but this scene made the audience laugh because Sadie was too short compared to Bertram. Sadie's height only reached Bertram's shoulders.
Sadie was not affected by the audience's laughter at all. He rode his horse towards the edge of the arena.
As the two men's horses charged forward, the sound of a wooden spear exploding was heard again in the field. Bertram used his size advantage to hit Sadie with his spear first, and Sadie was knocked off the horse by Bertram in an instant.
After knocking Sadie off her horse, Bertram slowly slowed down his horse, then turned around and saw that Sadie had stood up not far away. Bertram thought about it and did not continue to attack Sadie with his horse. Instead, he turned over and landed on the ground, drew his sword from his waist and slowly walked towards Sadie.
If it were any other time, Bertram would not treat this as a joke, but now it is a competition, and the Earl wants to show the strength of the Jones family, so Bertram tries his best to achieve the best effect by crushing them in a fair manner.
Bertram has absolute confidence in himself. His family has a history of several generations. Unlike Gandalf, who was newly promoted to baron decades ago, this can be seen from the advanced secret skills he just displayed.
Bertram walked slowly towards Sadie with a long sword in his hand, and Sadie also drew the long sword from his waist and approached Bertram cautiously.
When the two men met, they both swung their swords without hesitation and started slashing. However, after Bertram and Sadie swung their swords a few times, he frowned because he found that his sword had actually cut a gap.
Every time his sword collided with Sadie's sword, a deep cut appeared on it, while Sadie's sword was intact. This made Bertram instantly think of the mithril weapon. The sword in Sadie's hand turned out to be a mithril sword.
However, although he frowned, Bertram was not afraid. As long as he paid attention to the opponent's strength and the sword in his hand did not break, he still had a great chance of winning the competition. After all, he not only had the advantage of size and strength, but also had secret skills as a guarantee.
The fact was just as Bertram expected. With Bertram's unpredictable chops, Sadie gradually began to be unable to withstand it and stepped back frequently.
"Hi!"
Suddenly Bertram seized a flaw in Sadie, and immediately shouted, and the long sword in his hand, with the blessing of fighting spirit, slashed towards Sadie quickly.
However, facing Bertram's heavy blow, Sadie did not panic. He rolled on the ground, then quickly grabbed a handful of sand from the mud with his left hand and threw it hard at Bertram's mask.
Wow~
"Shameless! Is this still a duel between knights? This is an insult to the knights!"
"This is a disgrace to the Knights!"
"Despicable and shameless!"
When the audience was watching the competition nervously, they suddenly saw Sadie's insidious move and immediately went wild and started shouting and cursing.
Even the noble representatives on the central stand frowned slightly, but no one said anything.
They didn't want to see Bertram continue to win the fight. Anyway, this despicable Sadie was not a member of their family, so everyone watched coldly and no one questioned it.
Gervis also saw Sadie's actions on the field. He had never seen such a shameless person who used such a despicable method of plotting in public.
Gervis first turned his head to look at Alice, and saw that Alice was also frowning but did not say anything. So Gervis looked at Ulic again, but found that Ulic's mouth corners were slightly raised, and he was obviously not ashamed of it. It was estimated that this unscrupulous means might be something they had thought of in advance.
Although the full-body armor helmet covered the face, there was still enough space in front of the eyes to avoid blocking the vision, so Sadie's sudden handful of dust fell into Bertram's eyes without hindrance.
"ah!"
Bertram screamed and subconsciously tried to wipe the foreign matter out of his eyes with his hands, but he was unable to do so because of the obstruction of the helmet. In the end, Bertram could only endure the discomfort, close his eyes and be alert to Sadie's attack.
"He seems to be blind! Alice, send someone in to suspend the competition!"
Gervis saw Bertram's reaction and confirmed his current state. Moreover, from Yurik's smile, Gervis knew that Sadie did not just want to defeat his opponent, so Gervis urged Alice with some concern.
"Lina should go!"
Alice frowned, gripping the handrail with her fingers and her face was cold. She didn't expect that the Charles family, who was also an earl family, would dare to disregard their reputation in public.
Sure enough, as soon as Alice finished her words, one of the underground passages in the arena was slowly opened.
However, although Lina and others arrived quickly, Sadie was even faster.
After making sure that Bertram could not see him, Bertram turned around several times on the spot, using the boos of the audience around him to conceal his position. He was a little afraid of Bertram's secret skills, otherwise he would not have waited so long without attacking Bertram.
However, the underground passage on the side of the field had been opened at this moment. Sadie didn't dare to wait any longer. With a cruel smile on his face, Sadie clenched the mithril sword in his hand and slashed fiercely at Bertram's back.
"You dare!"
Lina and Roll, who were far away, were furious when they saw this scene, but no matter how anxious they were, they could not get to the field in time to save Bertram. Roll even rushed to the field with all his fighting spirit.
