Chapter 515 A Disparate Competition
When he was about ten steps away from the Earth Bear, Ferdinand leveled the spear in his hand and aimed at the target's chest.

It is said that because the plate armor is too troublesome to put on and take off, and each battle ends very quickly, basically only a few breaths, the Earth Bear simply no longer wears armor.

And his arrogant posture also caused dissatisfaction among many opponents, but those who wanted to teach him a lesson were either lying on the bed or buried in the ground.

Most of the onlookers were also not optimistic about the young lord from the west of the empire.

However, Edward II's face showed a look of appreciation.

Because just from this short sprint, it can be seen that the young man on the horse has excellent riding skills, and he is very good at manipulating the horse. Even during the charge, his upper body did not shake violently, and the spear was very stable.

The emperor called his chief guard and asked, "Who is this man?"

"Ferdinand, from the Bathory family, is Toyotomi of the Marquis of Cullen."

"Bartory?" The name was a little strange to Edward II, and he didn't have any impression of it after recalling it for a long time.

"It's a small family with only a few thousand people, and there are almost no famous people in the ancestors." Du Lun, the head of the guard, added.

His Majesty the Emperor snorted, "What is the relationship between him and Ilea? I see that they seem to be together all the time."

"I don't know, my friend, probably, should I send someone to investigate?"

"Don't worry, wait until this contest is over, maybe you don't need to investigate."

Although Edward II had some appreciation for Ferdinand, he obviously didn't like him too much. Moreover, from the previous games, the Earth Bear was very ruthless, and Ferdinand might not survive.

While the two were talking, Ferdinand had already fought the Earth Bear.

The Earth Bear actually wanted to reach out and grab the spear directly, but at the moment when he was about to succeed, Ferdinand suddenly turned his wrist, from a forehand grip to a backhand grip, and stabbed at the Earth Bear's eyes!

The whole set of actions is done in one go, clean and neat!

The Earth Bear was also a little caught off guard, he didn't have many choices at such a short distance, so he could only back up while raising the giant sword in his hand to block.

The spear finally pierced the sword. Ferdinand sank his wrist and continued to stab the Earth Bear's chest, but he made a circle and returned to the original point.

The Earth Bear also wanted to take this opportunity to cut off the spear, but in the end Ferdinand did not choose to resist, and took the initiative to retract the spear, while riding directly past the Earth Bear.

After making a small circle, he rushed back.

"Smart approach." Edward II praised.

This young nobleman from the western region obviously also knew the huge gap in strength between himself and the Earth Bear, so he chose to use horses to charge to make up for this deficiency.

In this way, the combined strength of man and horse can compete with the bear of the earth.

But Cornelia on the side didn't take it seriously, "If the Earth Bear is so easy to deal with, I wouldn't give him the title of Shield of Thorns."

"Ferdinand came from the Western Region after all, so it's normal not to know how terrifying the blood power is." Edward II said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ferdinand repeated his old trick and charged towards the Earth Bear again.

The Earth Bear also behaved similarly to before. While blocking with the giant sword, he wanted to snatch the weapon from Ferdinand, but he obviously underestimated his opponent this time.

Ferdinand's spear is very flexible, and he can always get away at the critical moment. Moreover, when the two fought for the second time, Ferdinand also pierced the clothes of the Earth Bear, only narrowly missing Earth Bear.

This also gave him more confidence, and even the onlookers around him began to think that he might have something to do.

Ferdinand rushed to the Earth Bear for the third time, and the Earth Bear became angry at being harassed by him, took the initiative to attack, and swung his sword at Ferdinand.

Ferdinand put his body almost completely on the horse's back, dodged the sword, and at the same time pointed the spear in his hand towards the jaw of the earth bear, forcing the earth bear away.

Seeing that the two were about to pass each other, the Earth Bear suddenly reached out and grabbed the horse's tail.

The war horse was staggered by him, but the earth bear was only taken half a step, and then stood firm. This terrifying power made everyone present gasp.

At the critical moment, Ferdinand's spear seemed to have eyes, sticking out behind him, piercing the throat of the earth bear.

However, the Earth Bear just tilted his head and dodged it, and then swung the giant sword in his hand, but it didn't cut at Ferdinand, but the war horse under him.

The war horse was frightened and tried to escape, but was still swept by the giant sword, broke a leg, and fell to the ground together with Ferdinand on the horse.

The Patriarch of the Bathory family seemed to have fallen hard and rolled several times on the ground.

It made Ilea's heart hang, and she shouted at the referee, "He lost, he has already lost, hurry up and announce the winner of this contest."

The referee hesitated for a moment, and looked at Ferdinand who was lying on the ground, only to see that the latter stood up unsteadily again.

When he fell off the horse just now, the spear in his hand had already flown to the side, but the Patriarch of the Bathory family brought his own sword, the River Thorn, and pulled it out immediately.

Seeing this, the referee swallowed back the words that had come to his lips.

Apparently, the slightly embarrassed young noble not far away showed with practical actions that he would continue to fight.

The unease in the female lord's heart became more and more intense, because she had already seen the ferocious smile on the face of the earth bear, and the earth bear even glanced in her direction.

"When we are in danger, is there any way to save Ferdinand?"

Miss Rabbit asked Li Yu for help. She knew that outsiders could not intervene in the ongoing competition according to the regulations, so she didn't know what to do to avoid Ferdinand's death.

But she knew that if there was one person in this world who could do it, it must be Li Yu!

But this time Li Yu didn't answer, but continued to look at the contest on the field.

Compared with the spear, the two-handed sword is actually the most convenient weapon for Ferdinand to use. He only chose the spear for horse fighting.

Now holding the hilt of the sword again, his eyes showed no fear, and he took the lead in attacking.

Starting with anger, he used a vortex strike, but was easily blocked by the Earth Bear, and then it was the Earth Bear's turn to counterattack, using only a simple melee attack.

Ferdinand felt that the thorn in the river in his hand was about to fall out of his hand. The power was not like that of a half-orc. He could only escape this attack by relying on his footsteps.
