Half of the people in the previous individual competition have been eliminated, and those who are eligible to participate in the second competition are not weak. And after these people have passed another round of selection in the riding battle, the rest can be called the elite level of this selection competition.
Now Chen Rui and Paul are going to face such an opponent. This kind of riding battle is no better than the first one-on-one. The contestants cannot leave the chariot to attack, otherwise they will be sentenced to lose. In addition to their own strength, riding a mount Indispensable to command and combat.
The side that hits the opponent's chariot the most times within the specified time or when the guns are exhausted is the winner. If the time is up and both sides fail to hit the opponent, they will be eliminated at the same time.
Except for Paul, most of the participants chose the bright knight equipped in the competition, and a small number of participants chose to drive with their own followers. These followers should be good at riding, and because of mutual understanding, they cooperate more tacitly.
Paul's first opponent is a B-level fighter named Tam, who chooses the Knight of Light to drive. If it is a one-on-one fight, the victory or defeat is only a blink of an eye, but this kind of long-range battle is completely different. First of all, the chariots are specially made, as if the magnets of the same sex repel each other away, so that the two chariots can maintain a distance of about five. The distance of ten meters; and the magic throwing gun is also specially made, it will not cause harm to the contestants, it can greatly absorb the user's power, greatly reduce the speed and power of throwing, and play a role in balancing the strength of both parties. Although there is still a difference in strength and weakness, the gap has been narrowed a lot, and the outcome has become more unpredictable.
Paul's game started. In a huge circular field, the two sides rushed out from the opposite channel and started a long-range confrontation.
There are four horses in each chariot. For Chen Rui, who has an analytical eye, these top-quality thoroughbred horses are much easier to communicate with than Thunderbirds and the like, and he quickly took full control of them.
The opponent knew that Paul's strength had already entered the holy level, so he didn't plan to fight head-to-head. He commanded the carriage to turn around and run away at the beginning, so as to distance himself from Paul. Due to the limited time, if both players fail to make a shot, they will be eliminated at the same time. Of course, no one wants to be eliminated, so one side will definitely make the first move. In the case of eagerness for success, it is easy to make mistakes, so that he has the opportunity to seize the opening and counterattack, and the weak will defeat the strong.
Tamm's combat experience and scheming are good, and his abacus is also very good. However, when the chariot was speeding forward, he suddenly noticed something. The opponent was closing the distance a little bit, and he couldn't help frowning.
If you just push the horses at full speed like this, the horsepower will be exhausted later. It seems that the opponent has no patience to fight a protracted battle and wants to win a quick battle. He just took advantage of this psychological delay and immediately ordered: "Speed up! Keep a distance from them! "
The Knight of Light urged the horses according to his words, but even though the speed of the chariot was greatly accelerated, Paul behind him was still approaching quickly, and the distance was shortened again. He was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up!"
"Hurry up!"
"quick!"
The answer came from the Bright Knight: "It's already the fastest!"
"Ah? No, how could they be so fast?" Tam was taken aback. Seeing Paul standing on the chariot, he was raising a magic spear in his hand, and exclaimed: "Turn around now!"
However, it was too late, and he saw the light flashing one after another. Paul actually threw all twenty spears out in an instant, and the golden-glowing spears lined up in a coherent arc. In an instant, Tam felt that his vision seemed to slow down, and then in a blink of an eye, everything speeded up dozens of times. Before he could react, there was a series of bombing sounds from the chariot.
All twenty hits, none of them missed, and Tamm was eliminated.
The failed Tamm’s first reaction was to appeal, questioning Paul’s horse speed. After careful inspection by the examiner, he unanimously ruled that the horses on both sides were the same and did not do anything. The reason why Paul’s horse was able to exceed the speed was that It is because the driver has used the superb animal control technique.
This little episode of appeal made Chen Rui, who was originally inconspicuous, quickly come into the eyes of the contestants. Everyone knew that Paul had a follower who was proficient in animal control. In the following competition, Chen Rui perfectly interpreted the chief examiner's evaluation of his "skillful" animal control, and he shined brilliantly.
The most notable battle took place in the Final Four, between Paul and Stanwell.
Stanwell's strength is already close to the peak of the Demon Emperor. He is the champion of the first individual battle. He once easily defeated Paul in the final stage of the individual battle. expected result.
Due to the characteristics of throwing guns, the strength difference between the two sides was narrowed. After a round of dazzling long-range combat, Paul and Stanwell each hit each other seven shots. On the surface, the results are equal, and Paul's seventh shot is still ahead of Stanwell, which has a time advantage. However, Stanwell still has five shotguns in his hand, and Paul has no guns. As long as Stanwell hits Paul one Gun, Paul can be eliminated.
Just when Stanwell, who thought he was sure of victory, launched an attack, Paul's chariot suddenly made unbelievable moves, S-shaped Z-shaped dodge, sudden braking, and even an unprecedented "drift"... In a series of unimaginable actions, all five of Stanwell's shots failed, and the final result was 7 to 7. Since Paul's hit time was before Stanwell, Stanwell was eliminated.
This battle caused a sensation in the audience, and almost everyone was discussing the astonishing movements of the chariot and "Li Cha"'s wonderful beast-controlling thaumaturgy. On the second day of the finals, there was not much suspense, because Paul's advantage was too obvious, and he only needed to focus on attacking. As for driving or commanding, his most powerful follower "Li Cha" took care of it.
In this way, Paul won the first place in the second riding competition. The top three will be listed as seeds and directly enter the finals of the third team battle. After the elimination of the first two competitions, the third team The total number of participants was only forty-eight. With the group round-robin competition, Paul only needs to win once to become one of the final twenty winners. The title of Templar Knight is almost certain.
After Paul won the riding championship, he immediately received the olive branch from the Temple of the Seal of God and the Temple of Stars. If it was before going to Garden City, Paul would have hesitated which faction to join, but now he has chosen In the Palace of the Holy Family, I met the saint again. If I was half-hearted, I would not please both sides. I didn't hesitate and declined one by one.
In the afternoon, the saint really summoned Paul and Chen Rui again. This time it was not Eliza who brought them up the mountain, but the half-elf Miranda. Because of the cheating elf story, in order to avoid being "becoming" a gay, Chen Rui had no choice but to show enthusiasm for Miranda. Fortunately, this half-elf lady seemed to be extremely disgusted with "Li Cha" and ignored those courtesies at all. Chen Rui just showed an "embarrassed" look in cooperation. Seeing it, Paul thought that he was rejected by Joanna in the same way, and the depression hidden in his heart inexplicably relieved a lot, and he patted the frustrated follower comfortingly.
After passing the weird angel statue, several people entered the Holy House, and Chen Rui saw the saint Udora again.
"Miranda, you go down first." Yudora said lightly, Miranda bowed and retreated, although Chen Rui lowered his head respectfully, the corner of his eyes secretly glanced at the departing beautiful woman. The back view, controlled the heartbeat a little faster.
Eudora saw this scene in her eyes, her blue eyes flashed a faint light, and she said: "Paul, congratulations on winning the championship of the cavalry, and now you are only one step away from the Knights of the Temple, but don't relax in the future, if you Yes, I hope you can win the final championship this time, which will also be the glory of the Hall of the Holy Family, or you can get the attention and appreciation of a certain adult."
Paul was overjoyed at the last sentence, and quickly said, "Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to win."
Compared with individual battles and cavalry battles, the final team battle is about command. As the commander, the contestants are not allowed to fight in person, so opponents with super personal strength like Stanwell can't play well, and Paul is against himself. The military strategy is still quite confident.
Yudora nodded approvingly, and asked, "Did you give the thing to your teacher last time? Did he say anything?"
"I have handed it over to the teacher according to His Majesty's instructions. The teacher seemed to be lost in thought, and asked me if I had made a decision. I said yes." Paul lowered his head and took out a bottle: "The things in the teacher's hand Didn't say much, just took out another thing and asked me to pass it on to Your Majesty, and brought a word, saying...the two are indebted."
Youdora pondered for a moment, and waved, the bottle flew into her hand: "I see, you go back first. Richard, you stay."
Paul was a little surprised that the saint asked Chen Rui to stay alone, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, and bowed and withdrew.
After Paul left, Udora walked up to Chen Rui slowly: "Richard, is this your real name?"
Chen Rui didn't know what Yudora's intention of leaving him alone was, and he thought about it, and replied: "Your Majesty, frankly speaking, this is not my real name, it's just one of the many names I have used. I I was born in a big family of a kingdom, and was forced to leave because of the failure of certain battles. I once swore a solemn oath that I was just an ordinary wanderer until I took back what belonged to me."
"So you chose Paul and want to use his power to take everything back?"
"Yes." Chen Rui knew that Udora must have investigated his details, and "Li Cha" was a blank before Gudan Town, so he deliberately said that "Li Cha" was just one of the aliases he had used.
"I see. Strictly speaking, you are a person of unknown origin, but judging from what you said just now, both your emotions and your heartbeat are very stable, so there are only two possibilities. First, what you said is the truth, Second, you have an extremely terrifying mentality and strength, and you can deceive my senses." Yudora said, her gaze fell on Chen Rui's face.
Chen Rui secretly applauded the risk. Fortunately, he had deliberately controlled his emotional fluctuations with his mental strength just now. He immediately put on a surprised look on his face, and then smiled wryly: "If possible, I would rather be the second type."
Eudora smiled slightly behind the veil: "As long as you join the Temple of the Holy Family and help me accomplish one thing, I will satisfy any three of your requirements. Whether you want to be strong, have power, or other It would be a dream."
