I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Xu Siling could win, and he was not surprised at all.

He possesses elite lance skills, which is enough to deal with these knights with good lance skills.

To be precise, the advantages of elite-level skills are not particularly great.

For example, these elite knights of Paris all have at least elite level sword fighting skills.

However, the skill of riding a lance is quite special. It is different from sword fighting, riding, and long pole.

The skill of lance is included in the military training of soldiers, but it is not commonly used, and the training is not as much as expected.

The real role of the lance on the battlefield, apart from its destructive power, is to use it for knights to hedge and deal with spearmen.

Having a knight with a lance increases the attack distance.

The length of the lance is much longer than ordinary melee weapons, which allows the knight to attack first from a long distance. The knight's lance can hit the spearman before the spearman can poke the knight's horse first. On the body.

By making clever use of the speed of the horse and the length of the lance, it was possible to break through the defensive line of the soldiers' formation first and open the door.

As long as the opponent doesn't have many spearmen and there are knights with lances, they will rush into the battle without restraint.

The problem with Xu Siling's confidence in winning lies in this.

Although his elite-level lance skills are not high, as long as he is supported by his peers, he will have a great advantage.

These knights were training in lance skills and occasionally used them on the battlefield. Unfortunately, there were not many field battles in the Middle Ages.

There are three significant differences between European medieval wars and Chinese wars.

Medieval wars involved few large-scale field battles, few elite troops, and few beheadings of enemies.

Just like the famous European war kings, they did not fight many large-scale field battles.

Richard the Lionheart fought three large-scale field battles in his life, including beating his father at Le Mans, Assuf defeating Saladin, and defeating his rumored boyfriend Philip at the Battle of Freteval.

Edward III and Henry V also had only a handful of field campaigns.

Although the Middle Ages were famous for knights, there were not many knights in the strict sense.

In the era of King Lionheart, England had only 3000 knights. When Edward III went on an expedition to France, there were only more than 500 knights in England who could take them to the battlefield.

And France?

During the Hundred Years' War, there were nominally tens of thousands of knights, but there were only a few thousand who could fulfill their knightly duties all year round.

Knights are trained in the technique of lance, but unlike sword fighting, it can be used in daily military activities.

Even if the elite knights of Paris are battle-hardened, their lance skills are at most advanced level.

The kings and nobles have very low technical requirements for knights' lances.

On the battlefield, as long as you can hold the gun head steady when charging, and aim the gun head at the enemy, there are no other requirements.

So despite the fact that lance technology was so popular and respected in the Middle Ages, that was all.

Xu Siling, who possesses elite lance skills, is really beyond the reach of these elite Parisian knights.

Now Xu Siling easily defeated the famous Paris lance knight Wilbur with one blow.

The duel ground was full of noise.

They couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

When he saw Wilbur kneel down and spread his hands towards Xu Siling, who was riding by, he asked to dismount for a duel.

The duel ground slowly became quiet again.

Everyone is looking forward to how Xu Siling will react.

Will give Wilbur a respectful duel.

Still, he severely spurned and humiliated Wilbur for his arrogance and arrogance.

Everyone had their own answer in their hearts, but whether it was the former or the latter, the next scene once again stunned the audience in the stands.

Xu Siling glanced at Wilbur who was kneeling on the ground, without stopping at all, and rode away on his own.

No one expected that Xu Siling was not like Wilbur at all.

Everyone booed.

Wilbur felt neglected, and his open hand couldn't help but clenched his fist and hit the ground!

The veins in his temples stood out and he gritted his teeth.

Then he stood up and pointed angrily at Xu Siling's back as he rode away.

"Knight Raya! If the knights behind me duel, I will kill you! Just wait for me!"

John was in the central stand and frowned when he saw Wilbur being so unchivalrous.

His disgust for Wilbur grew.

"A knight must cherish honor and safeguard his own honor and the reputation of his family. Whether it is a manifestation of moral duty or an oath on the battlefield, not to mention this is a game. If you lose, you lose! If you lose, you have to admit it. If you want to duel, you can wait. In the following game, Wilbur has no faith in knights."

John waved his hands domineeringly and looked at the soldiers beside him.

"What are you watching for? Drag him down and don't affect the next duel!"

In fact, John didn't think Xu Siling would be a perfect knight at first.

He just has a good compatibility with Xu Siling and is very sensitive to Xu Siling.

The reason why Xu Siling evolved into a perfect knight.

Or because he learned about Xu Siling's past achievements and events during his conversation with Philip VI that night.

Philip VI was extremely optimistic about Xu Siling, which made John feel that Xu Siling was not simple.

But even though he was optimistic about Xu Siling, John had not fully seen Xu Siling's strength, so John held this knight competition just because he wanted to see Xu Siling's strength.

Now seeing Xu Siling's move, I couldn't help but marvel at its cleverness.

As if predicting the attack in advance, he bent down to dodge, and the gun tip cleverly stabbed Wilbur on the shoulder.

He was increasingly looking forward to Xu Siling's subsequent appearance in the competition.

Many female aristocrats showed disgust at Wilbur's harsh words, but Mrs. Instein didn't show too much since she was there.

Enri is extremely skilled at adding insult to injury.

Just as Wilbur finished his harsh words and was about to leave, he was pestered by Enri.

Wilbur was asked to immediately take off his armor and equipment, including the horses. Now these are the trophies of Xu Siling's victory!

Wilbur was furious.

Enri was not afraid. Seeing that Wilbur refused to take it off, she was ready to pick it off herself.

Under Enri's cynicism, Wilbur took off his armor.

Just like that, Enri took his horse and equipment and left, leaving the same cruel words as before.

"What kind of pigs and dogs are you trying to mess with us, Knight Raya? We are not very strong, but we are good at barking. Count Stan's family has a good dog."

When Wilbur heard these words, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

He forcibly suppressed the fishy smell in his throat and silently returned to Mrs. Stan. As soon as he was about to apologize, he was scolded by Mrs. Stan.

"Didn't you say that you are the best lance master in Paris?!"

"How come you can't even defeat a country executioner knight?"

"You're just bragging, tell me! I don't have that much confidence in you anymore, you know that!"

"Look at what you are doing now, you have brought Earl Stan's family into disgrace!"

Wilbur's face was red, blue, and purple for a while, and his face changed like a rainbow. It was so beautiful.

"I'm sorry, my lady. I made a mistake in the front. I will definitely win the duel between knights in the back! I hope my wife will trust me in my strength one more time!"

Mrs. Stan felt much better after scolding her, but she still felt that she could not bear it. She hit Wilbur on the shoulder with her fan.

"I'll only give you one more chance, Wilbur. If you lose again, just spend the money to redeem your horses and equipment!"

"Yes, my lady! I will never lose again!"

After speaking, Wilbur turned around and looked at Xu Siling angrily, his eyes revealing hatred.

Xu Siling leisurely rode back to his area, waiting for his next game.

The reason why he ignored Wilbur before was very simple.

That is, he had no idea why Wilbur suddenly knelt down to him.

Adhering to the principle of ignoring him if he didn't understand anything clearly, Xu Siling simply ignored him and left on horseback.

That made the audience in the stands so surprised.

Ever since Xu Siling defeated Wilbur, the many female nobles in the stands began to look at him with strange eyes.

In the final analysis, Xu Siling is just a knight who was born as an executioner. In terms of training and ability, he should be inferior to the orthodox elite knights of Paris.

However, Xu Siling slapped each of them on the face, making them no longer dare to look down on Xu Siling.

At least everyone knows that the Raya knight who came from the countryside may be really extraordinary.

There was a game next, and Xu Siling did not stand in the stands.

Blanche was sitting upright. No matter how exquisite and gorgeous the aristocratic clothes she wore were, they couldn't compare to her beautiful face.

Her gloomy eyes quietly hung on Xu Siling's side.

His brown eyes were shining, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Recalling the previous time, before the game started, Wilbur ran up to him and shouted that he would beat him.

Xu Siling ignored it at all.

When preparing to start the game, Wilbur arrogantly circled the duel field waving the Stan family flag.

Xu Siling was once again unmoved.

After defeating Wilbur, he knelt down and asked for a duel.

Xu Siling still ignored him.

How arrogant Wilbur was before, how embarrassing he was after losing. Sometimes I have to say that there is no harm without comparison, it all depends on the support of peers.

If Xu Siling were singled out, his calm, mature and steady appearance would at most leave a good impression on everyone.

But with Wilbur's extreme comparison.

One is still and the other is moving, one is stable and the other is chaotic.

It extremely highlighted Xu Siling's calm and steady temperament, showing that his calmness and indifference in front of him were all just trust in his own ability.

Under the support of her peers, Xu Siling became extremely outstanding in Blanche's eyes.

She originally liked Xu Siling's temperament, which seemed to not frown easily in the face of a storm, and always gave others a sense of unhurried security.

Now?

Like it even more now.

especially

Blanche's eyes looked at Fei'er, who was sitting peacefully next to her.

Fei'er was well prepared for this outcome. She really never doubted that Xu Siling would lose.

Blanche recalled what Mayfair said earlier.

“There are one or two things that are certain, not many, but they are enough to withstand all the uncertainties in the world.”

When these words came out of Mayfair's mouth, they were so powerful.

It also stimulated Blanche's heart extremely.

Especially now that Xu Siling won, Blanche subconsciously asked herself.

At such a young age, Mayfair already has someone worthy of her faith.

So after she has lived for so long, what person or thing is worthy of her trust?

"People around me are either thinking about how to use me, or they think that I am worthless and not worth taking care of. I am just a mascot."

Mayfair asked strangely because she didn't hear Blanche's soliloquy clearly.

"Princess Blanche, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, it's okay. I was just thinking about something. Look, the next game has started."

On the duel field, the exciting knight-lance hedging began again.

Although it was exciting, both knights struggled.

The winning side also won with difficulty.

It was completely different from Xu Siling's easy victory.

In other words, it should be said that hedging with a knight and a lance is a very difficult and difficult task.

Someone like Xu Siling who behaves so relaxedly is an anomaly.

But the female nobles in the stands didn't understand this.

In the following lance competition, the harder the knights performed, the more they felt that Xu Siling was stronger.

Recognition of Xu Siling's strength can't help but raise the awareness level by level.

Not long after, it was Xu Siling's turn to appear again.

In a knight's tournament or lance duel, as long as you win the first round, you won't lose even if you lose in the subsequent matches.

If the Cavaliers participate, they have no option to abandon the game.

If you participate in a lance duel, you either win the championship or you have to lose a set of horse equipment.

Because you have already won a set of horse equipment, even if you lose, you will lose one set at most. You will make a profit and a loss, and return to normal.

But if he wins again, it will be a huge profit!

This is a big gamble!

Xu Siling's reappearance made the audience in the duel quiet again.

The knights at the end of the game are stronger.

Xu Siling took the lance handed to her by An Li and got into position with her opponent.

When the referee raises the flag and blows the whistle, the game begins!

Holding the lance tightly, Enri's horse charged forward.

The horse's hooves trampled the ground of the arena, the wind whistled in his ears, and the fierce blood was stirring.

The two gradually approached, their figures shrouded in the rapidly moving dust.

in a blink.

The wooden lances in their hands pierced the air like brown lightning.

"Oh!"

A lance exploded!

Xu Siling's opponent was knocked off his horse again.

But this time he was not as lucky as Wilbur.

He was knocked away, but his feet were stuck in the stirrups. His lance and shield were thrown to the duel field, and he was dragged away by his galloping horse.

The impact of the lance was enough to stun him, but he didn't expect to be dragged away by his own horse.

There was another loud noise in the duel arena.

Not only was he amazed that such a dangerous thing had happened, but he was also amazed at the recognition of Xu Siling's strength.

Xu Siling won so easily and leisurely again.

Some people would think that Wilbur's victory was due to his luck.

But now everyone no longer doubts Xu Siling's strength.

John II was so excited that he stood up and clapped, like a star-chasing maniac, shouting and cheering crazily for Xu Siling, and those who didn't know thought he had won the game.

Mrs. Bonnet, who was sitting next to her, held her forehead helplessly.

But the next scene made John and Mrs. Bonnet's expressions change drastically!

The horse, which was originally pulling its master to roll on the floor, was helped up by the attendants.

The knight felt that he had lost face by being dragged away by a horse in front of so many female nobles, so he yelled and spanked his horse angrily.

The horse was beaten and could not help but become restless and neigh.

But Anli stepped forward as usual to add insult to injury, and took the trophy that belonged to Xu Siling.

Enri's sarcasm hadn't escaped her lips yet, and she was just about to pull the reins of the horse and pat it gently.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Enri's hand touched it, the horse seemed to be stimulated!

The horse barked wildly and kicked its hooves wildly, scaring the people around to hide away, and even Enri couldn't help but let go.

The horse seemed to be going crazy, galloping towards the stands of the duel field.

The sound of horse hooves is deafening!

This accident made everyone scared and shouted! John and Bonnet in the central stand were shocked.

The target of the horse's galloping happened to be a female noble sitting down. Seeing the frightened horse running towards her, she froze in place in panic, not knowing how to hide!

"Quick, stop that horse!"

"Don't let the horse hurt Miss Chrissy!"

"Damn it, this bastard, you are a waste, why do you blame the horse that beats you!"

The whole duel field was in a panic.

Some of the accompanying soldiers wanted to get closer to the horse and grab the reins.

The horse was like crazy, no matter what, no one was allowed to touch it.

The female aristocrat in the stands was getting closer and closer, and she finally thought of hiding. But as soon as she stood up, her legs went weak, and she knelt down on the ground of the stands.

Her face changes color!

The horse was getting closer and closer to her in the blink of an eye, and its huge body seemed to crush her body!

"What should I do! Someone come and save me."

But the stands were full of female nobles, and everyone stayed far away. No one could help her in time.

She was afraid to close her eyes.

She heard the deafening sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, and she trembled with fear.

Oh, God.

Am I going to die?

Just when she thought something was going to happen to her, the female aristocrat Chris suddenly heard a sound.

The voice was steady and strong, with a calm tone.

Along with the moans, there were also the heart-rending screams of the horses.

Chrissy's eyelashes were trembling, and she couldn't help but slowly opened her eyes, and tears of fear fell gently.

What caught her eye immediately stunned her.

A knight was riding on a mad horse.

The horse was like crazy, raising its front hooves high and trying hard to throw the knight off the horse.

But the knight was riding safely on his horse and was not affected at all.

In Chris's eyes, the knight had his back to the sun, and his body was covered with a hazy light.

This hazy light is not dazzling, the dazzling sunlight has already been blocked by Xu Siling's body.

What's blocking it is her danger.

The horse's front hooves were very close, and if it was any later, the horse would step on Chris.

But everything was blocked.

The knight reined in his horse in time and moved the horse's forward hooves aside.

The knight in front had his back against the sun, and Chrissy couldn't see the knight's face clearly, but he reined in his horse steadily.

What Chris saw was a knight with a clear-cut face, a mature and indifferent expression, and a reassuring smile.

"Ma'am, are you okay?" (End of Chapter)
