Chapter 433 Caroline Appears
What happened next dumbfounded Anlis and the others. Gervis just stood quietly on the podium, but no young noble dared to challenge Gervis.
"Hey, what's going on? No one is challenging me. Are they planning to give up the competition?"
When Anlis heard the referee announce that Harry entered the next round, he was surprised and confused.
Then he was eager to try, he felt that this was a very good opportunity, he could win while standing.
Seeing that Gervis was about to step down from the stage, Anlis winked at his companions beside him, then quickly walked up to the stage.
"come on!"
Gervis walked off the stage with a smile on his face. He saw through what Anlis was thinking, but did not say it out loud.
There was no need for Gervis to say anything, because Anlis soon discovered that things were not as he had imagined.
He hadn't even stepped onto the stage yet when he turned around he found a young nobleman following him.
"Why did you get on stage?"
Anlis's face looked extremely ugly.
He had just seen the young man who came up on the stage. He had been standing at the stairs of the platform. Gervis stood there leisurely for a long time but didn't see him go up to challenge him. How come this man followed him up right after he came up on the stage?
"I'm going to compete with you on stage!"
The young nobleman also rolled his eyes and looked at Anlis like an idiot. Why ask such a childish question?
"Is he a masochist?"
Anlis complained in his heart that he was wearing full body armor and looked tough.
Just now, Harry only had a thin leather armor, but this person didn't choose Harry.
However, no matter what Anlis guessed in his mind, since everyone was present, the referee announced the start of the competition.
Although Anlis likes to show off in front of his friends, his strength is indeed not weak. He is the strongest among Trede and his friends, and he will be able to break through to the intermediate bronze knight in no time.
Anlis quickly defeated the first opponent who came on stage, and then defeated five challengers in a row.
Until this time, the people in the audience finally realized how powerful he was, and no one was ready to challenge him. After waiting for ten minutes, Anlis automatically advanced.
This first round of qualifying matches lasted a whole morning.
In one morning, nearly ten thousand young nobles were directly eliminated from the ninth level.
Only more than 900 people got the chance to compete in the next round, and among Gervis's small group, only he and Anlis successfully advanced. The other four young men were relatively weak and were knocked down in just one round.
After everyone had lunch in the afternoon, the competition began again.
It is still a promotion match for the ring challenge, but because the number of people has decreased and the strength of those who can advance has been proven, they only need to accept challenges from five people. If no one challenges them for more than three minutes, they will automatically advance.
Because some people had left in the morning, those who participated in the competition in the afternoon did not know how strong Gervis was. As soon as Gervis came on stage, someone came to challenge him.
Gervis knocked down five people in a row before he successfully advanced.
In the afternoon, Gervis was not as ferocious as in the morning. Instead, he was cool and polite, showing true chivalry. He always stopped at the right time, although he still used his big shield to hit people.
As for Anlis, he also managed to advance successfully after a narrow escape, but seeing how hard he was struggling, Gervis estimated that it would be a bit difficult for him to compete in the next round.
Sure enough, when there were less than a hundred people left, Anlis was eliminated.
Because the remaining people basically all have full body armor and are quite powerful, the intermediate bronze knight can only be at the bottom.
There are quite a few high-level bronze knights, and more than a dozen peak bronze knights.
"Harry, come on, it's up to you this time!"
Anlis was dejected, with a bruise on his face, which was caused by someone hitting him with the hilt of a sword.
Although he was protected by the face mask, he still suffered a heavy blow and fell to the ground dizzy.
"Haha! I don't know if I can win! I'll try my best!"
Gervis smiled modestly. Although he could beat ten of these people by himself, due to Harry's personality, he couldn't be too ostentatious. The further he went, the more he had to pretend to have won a narrow victory.
This is much more difficult than letting Gervis rush through.
He had to estimate the opponent's strength and not use too harsh a move to knock the opponent down in one blow, but he also had to win just right.
Soon, when the sun gradually approached the west mountain, there were only 10 people qualified to compete.
They have already secured a spot in the top ten, and the title is within their grasp.
However, in order to compete for the first place, everyone still needs to go through a competition.
"His Majesty the King has arrived!"
It was at this time that King Hayden appeared again on the palace wall.
To Gervis's surprise, he actually saw that woman, Caroline.
At this time, Caroline's clothes had been changed into those of an ordinary noble.
But it was obvious that Caroline was not willing to come to the city wall. There were two female guards beside her holding her hands to prevent her from struggling.
"Very good! It's a pleasure to meet you ten warriors! You are all brave young men selected from thousands of people, and you are the hope for the future of our Principality of Alban!"
"I will personally witness your next competition to see who will stand out and become the number one in the principality!"
King Hayden came to the city wall. A throne had already been prepared at the back. After King Hayden sat down with his horse and sword, he looked at the ten people on the platform below with approval.
Among the ten people below, Gervis was the most poorly dressed. Everyone else was wearing gorgeous full body armor, but Gervis was the only one wearing an old leather armor, which was obviously quite old.
Even King Hayden couldn't help but look at Gervis a little more.
Gervis was calm and composed, thinking that if he took out the full body armor from the carriage, it would probably blind your 24K titanium alloy pure dog eyes.
"The competition for the first place is about to begin. You must be curious about what the fiancée of the Grand Prince of the Principality of Jean looks like?"
King Hayden continued with a smile on his face.
"The one next to me is Caroline! The future queen of the Principality of Jean! Haha! Warriors, let's see who can get her!"
In fact, the king didn't need to say much. When everyone saw Caroline's appearance just now, they knew that this might be the reward for first place.
Although everyone was also deeply attracted to Caroline, no one dared to disrespect her in front of His Majesty the King. It was not until King Hayden spoke that the real discussion began.
"Wow! She is indeed worthy of being the future queen of the Principality of Jean. That face, that skin! It's really rare!"
"Yes! Look at her figure, it's absolutely perfect!"
The young nobles below were all whispering to each other, and then looked at Gervis and the other ten people with envy. Such a beauty would belong to one of them soon.
As the ten people including Gervis were standing on the high platform, they were very conspicuous. Therefore, although several young men were drooling over Caroline, they could only pretend to be calm and look straight ahead even though the sky was falling.
Caroline on the city wall also turned her face away at this moment, not wanting to see the expressions of the people below the stage.
If she had not been caught by two female guards who were titled knights, she would definitely not want to stand on the city wall and be watched like this.
"Alright! Without further ado, I declare that the ranking competition is now officially underway!"
King Hayden was very satisfied with the reactions of the people below. He brought Caroline here not only to humiliate the face of the Principality of Jean, but also to use Caroline to make the competition among Gervis and the other ten people more intense, so that he could determine the true strength of the ten of them.
