<h4>Chapter 173: Boring Tournament</h4>
Kant swallowed his saliva and said, “A knight order led by 10 grand knights.”
“What a pity.”, his tone was still a little disappointed, but he raised his head and smiled. “Although I don’t know about the silver light knights, I still have the help of others.” After a pause, Kant’s tone was still firm, he expressed his thought , “I think they are not inferior to the silver light knights.”
Baron Dn nced at a corner of the viewing tform on the city wall.
Ten Sarrandian horsemen were standing there and talking happily.
It was like they formed a self-organized system, a circle that rejected outsiders. Even if there werendlords and merchants wanted to take their children to try their luck, they were rejected after a few words.
Before long, all the merchants knew that these seemingly gentle but actually cold horsemen were not so easy to get close to.
Baron Dn understood in his heart.
He would rece the forces Kant had mentioned, as well as the ten Sarrandian horsemen who had obviously been trained by knights, into the forces left behind by Princess Sofia. He smiled lightly and his eyes were filled with fear and craze.
If he could return to the hidden forces.
And rece them.
Perhaps he would have his ce in the entire dukedom of Leo!
It was precisely because Baron Dn was one of the forces that Princess Sofia had brought back then, he knew the true intention of Princess Sofia was to subvert and control the political situation of the Dukedom of Leo . In fact, after gathering small half of the Silver tter Kingdom forces, she was truly capable of changing the current situation of this country!
Or rather, they had the power to subvert the entire country!
After understanding this situation, Baron Dn became even more passionate towards Kant.
However, he could not hide the greed in the depths of his eyes.
In Baron Dn’s eyes, Kant was just like a silly and sweet little child who knew nothing. He called him Uncle Dn friendly and sincerely, as if he truly regarded this baron as the only person he could rely on at the moment.
However, there was an imperceptible mockery in Kant’s smile.
He had lived two lives.
Kant was not a fool.
Just as the two of them were still talking, the tournament below finally began.
The chubby butler walked over quickly with a sheepskin scroll in his hand. On it, there were dense words written with a quill pen. He handed it to Baron Dn, and reported, “Lord, everything is ready. The children of the gentries’ family will start first. It was the first part of the tournament segment to warm up the audience.”
“Just make the arrangements.”, Baron Dn waved his hand and did not take the sheepskin scroll.
Instead, he looked at the chubby butler, who had followed him for many years. He solemnly instructed him, “Don’t embarrass me. This is apetition held to wee little Kant. If anything goes wrong, I will be angry.”
“Absolutely not!”, the chubby butler immediately broke out in cold sweat.
“Hmph, that’s good.”, Baron Dn’s expression softened slightly.
Following the arrangements.
Many merchants and children of thendlords on the viewing tform quickly left. They walked down the stairs to the city wall and changed into their weapons and equipment for the tournament. They walked side by side to the square and respectfully greeted Baron Dn.
Baron Dn also waved his hand slightly, indicating that the tournament would start first.
The crowds below immediately cheered.
Thesepetitors were wearing leather armor and holding wooden spears, shields, and swords. They quickly broke out into fight. As manypetitors moved around, it could be seen that there were two teams of twentypetitors fighting each other. It seemed like they were simting the attack of the military formation.
They fought back and forth, it looked quite hot-blooded.
The civilians below also let out deafening cheers, which quickly ignited the atmosphere.
This kind of tournament was one of the few grand banquets they had.
Baron Dn also expressed his satisfaction, he smiled and turned to Kant and praised, “These children are the sons of merchants andndlords. It seems that in a few years, they will be experienced warriors. If some of them have strong awareness and training, they can even be knights’ attendants. I think highly of them.”
“I think they are very good.”, Kant nodded in agreement.
“These are all very good young men.”, Baron Dn nodded proudly.
However, in Kant’s eyes, thesepetitors below were fighting back and forth in groups, and then they scattered to find another opponents to fight one-on-one after a short while. There was no entertainment at all.
It was far inferior to thepetition in Castle of Leo, not to mention the blockbuster in his previous life. They were not on the same level at all.
He turned his head and looked at the merchants andndlords around him. As well as those vassal knights, they were all watching with great interest.
With a slight frown, Kant could not tell what battle techniques these young people had. They were simply chopping each other with wooden swords and stabbing each other with wooden spears. asionally, they would hit each other with shield strikes. It was as if they were children ying house.
However, he did not show it on his face. He was still pretended to be quite enthusiastic.
Soon, as a certain team was defeated, the battle was paused for a moment.
The losers left the arena.
The winners raised their head arrogantly and stood on the arena to show their victory.
The civilians below burst into enthusiastic cheers. Even on the viewing tform, many merchants andndlords were talking excitedly about their children’s actions just now. Of course, the families of the defeated deliberately did not speak a word.
Losing the battle was not something that people were willing to ept.
At this moment, Baron Dn opened his mouth.
He swept his gaze over the merchants andndlords and smiled. “The winners will be rewarded with one great silver coin each.”
“Thank you, the kind Baron Dn!”
Immediately, there were people with smiles on their faces who quickly bowed to him.
Some people had bitter smiles on their faces.
Obviously, they were happy to be the family members of the victors. The ones with bitter smiles were the family members of the defeated.
In response to this, Baron Dn continued to smile. At the same time, he continued, “In the name of little Kant, give the defeated a reward of 50 small silver coins as a reward for their unyielding performance in the arena!”
“Thank you, kind Baron Kant!”
The merchants andndlords who had bitter expressions on their faces before immediately revealed a joyful look. They immediately bowed to Baron Dn and Kant to express their gratitude. The constion prize was not low, and they were quite satisfied. The most important thing was that they would not lose their faces too much because of failure.
“Uncle Dn, you are too generous.”, Kant also bowed his head to express his gratitude. After all, these small silver coins were given to those people in his name.
Baron Dn smiled proudly and shook his head. “Don’t care too much, Little Kant. As long as you are in my estate, then it will be just like your home, as long as you are happy.”
Kant continued to lower his head to express his gratitude.
He acted like a young noble who was deeply touched, as if he did not have any schemes or tricks. If one treated him better, he would willing to open his heart.
The square below was filled with people.
Another two teams ofpetitors appeared. It was still those young people, but they were all new yers. They continued to fight in a mess. Kant was speechless, but he still had a smile on his face.
The winners of thest two teams continued to fight to determine the final winning team.
This time, Baron Dn was very generous. He had rewarded each of them with five great silver coins. It was almost equal to the ie of these merchants andndlords for many months. The cheers became louder and louder.
Themoners below were extremely excited even if they were just watching the show.
Thepetition reached its climax.
At this moment, the butler walked over and said with a smile, “Lord Dn, it’s time for the knights topete. I think it will be very exciting.”
This was the real climax.
The vassal knights who had actualbat experience would be more fun to watch.
“Okay.”, said Baron Dn with a smile.
However, he also thought of something and turned to Kant. “My knights already know their level. Why don’t you ask your guards to go as well?”
“My guards?”, Kant was slightly stunned.
“That’s right,”, said Baron Dn with a smile. “You brought 40 guards with you, so you can definitely select 20 people to form two teams.”
Kant lowered his head apologetically. “That’s not very good.”
“There’s nothing bad about it. I said it.”, Baron Dn smiled and patted Kant on the shoulder, he said earnestly, “Look at your guards. They are all strong and fit. They are more than enough to be knights’ attendants. They can also y in the tournament, not fight on the battlefield.”
“Then... Okay.”, Kant nodded.
“This tournament will be even more exciting.”, Baron Dn smiled happily.
As the order was given.
The 20 Sarrandian horsemen, who were still waiting under the city wall, were immediately transferred to the arena outside. They also changed into leather armor, wooden swords, wooden spears, and wooden shields. However, just by looking at their robust appearance and the imposing manner when they walked, one could tell that they were not at the same level as the children of the merchants and thendlords.
The true elite warriors, even the civilians below could see it.
The cheers were even louder.
At the same time, the vassal knights from the Stone Pass also appeared.
The 20 vassal knights also formed two teams, each of them rubbing their fists and palms. Looking at the Sarrandian horsemen, it seemed like they wanted to teach this group of outsiders a lesson. They all looked over provocatively, winking at each other, wanting to provoke the other party.
However, the Sarrandian horseman’s face remained cold and calm.
This made the vassal knights a little angry.
Provoking the other party, but the other partypletely ignored you. It was like they were looking down on you.
One by one, they whispered to each other, saying in a low voice that they would definitely teach these guys a lessonter.
“The first team of guards from Lord Kant willpete with the first team of cavalry from the Stone Pass !”
A servant on the viewing tform of the city wall loudly announced the rules.
His voice was loud and clear, and even the civilians below could hear him clearly. “You are not allowed to cause fatal injuries, and you are not allowed to make serious injuries that cause sequ. The tournament is based on thepetition, and it can not be treated as a battle on the battlefield. I hope you can understand!”
“Understood.”, the 20 Sarrandian horseman calmly replied.
“Don’t be long-winded. Let’s begin!”
However, the knights were a little impatient. Their status was higher than these servants.
Thus, their tone was not polite at all.
Seeing this, Baron Dn frowned slightly.
However, he still smiled and said to Kant, “Your guards are really not bad. They are just like well-trained knights. Compared to my vassals, the difference is really too big. They are more like a real noble knight and a group of wandering knight.”
