Eagle Flag of Epirus

Rusnina’s contest kicked off with a solemn horn. It was representatives of Epirus’ noble clans who came to participate in the contest, including the Dukas family as a royal family, but even more. What caught the attention of the audience was that the Genoa mission actually sent a contestant. Fastest update

It was a full-length chain-armored walking knight, holding a shield and a mace while standing among the other contestants. It was particularly conspicuous, and he was wearing a bucket helmet on his head, and he couldn't see the knight commander at all. What does it look like. But looking from a distance, Justinian felt a sense of oppression in Justinian's heart spontaneously. The opposite was by no means a waiter, and the Genoese with such a master around him made him feel jealous.

But in comparison, it is obvious that the content of the covenant between Emperor Mikhail and the Genoese is more important, thinking about going to Justinian still had to temporarily put this matter aside.

On the other hand, the tournament has already begun in full swing.

On the side of the river, the civilians who watched this grand event were extremely excited, and all this was attributed to Emperor Manuel’s successful promotion of the Western aristocratic style of competition, although there was a lot of discord between the Byzantine Empire and the Western countries. But for the strength of the Frankish knights, the emperors all envied them. Therefore, during the reign of Manuel I, in addition to a large number of Latin aliens were reused, the heavy cavalry of the Empire also completed the elimination of the old style of cavalry through reforms. In order to achieve this goal, the emperor himself often held riding and fighting contests with the nobles. All decades of promotion have become commonplace today, and this joy of fighting naturally makes the empire love it very much.

I saw that the first to appear was a warrior under Prince Theodore, who was wearing a Chincha-style zha armor with a Tatar-style mask, without any heraldry or carvings, and gray on his shoulders. The blue cloak was like a dirty rag. A big boo was evoked as soon as he came on the field. After all, such a dress was extremely savage in the eyes of Romans and even Westerners. Among the Roman army, only some soldiers from the Russian state would sometimes be dressed like this. . However, the contempt of the audience is contemptuous, and the Pronian nobleman who fought with him did not dare to take it lightly.

Both sides are fighting on foot, and the weapons used are all maces that seem to make one's mind stunned. In the arena, two brave warriors bowed to each other to start a duel, and when people thought that there was bound to be a fierce battle, the Pronian nobles who had been on the field for the first time knocked down the Chincha warriors by three and five. , Before he even had time to struggle, the Qin Charen’s mace hit the helmet and beat him up. However, it was clear that the Chincha Samurai was able to control just right, and apart from some bruises, it did not cause a fatal blow.

This scene suddenly caused an uproar in the crowd, and both the civilians and the nobles instantly looked at the Qin Cha Warrior who had been treated contemptuously. I also look forward to the next martial arts competition even more, but unfortunately, with the beginning of the jade, although the next martial arts competition is still quite exciting, it is still somewhat overshadowed by comparison.

Until the second round of the riding competition began, when the Chincha warrior appeared, the original tepid scene boiled again, and he did live up to expectations. In the second round, he held a wooden spear and shot down a man from Yisu. Leah's free rider once again caused a huge sensation.

At this time, even the Emperor Mikhail on the high platform could not sit still for a while, and coldly looked at his righteous brother who was watching the battle calmly not far away, with cold eyes in his eyes. He knew that his brother Theodore did so intentionally to embarrass him. If you really let his people take the lead in this competition, that would be great!

At this moment, beside him, an old man suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty, you seem to be a little absent-minded!"

"Ah...haha, wherever, I am just a little surprised, making you laugh." Then the emperor Mikhail quickly concealed it. However, the representative of the Genoese mission, Constance Dolly, was watching this scene. Ya already knew it.

Suddenly lowered his head, the old man suddenly whispered something towards the attendant beside him, then turned his head and leaned slightly towards Emperor Mikhail in front of him: "Your Majesty is worried about what I have already guessed. Please also Don't worry too much. As the emperor's most loyal ally, I can still solve these little troubles for you."

And listening to the other party's answer, Mikhail also understood the other party's overtones, and then slightly nodded: "Since Mr. Constance has said so, then I will wait and see."

...

Soon, the second round of riding competition eliminated many participants, and then another round of riding competition. Still this time, the weapons used by the contestants changed from wooden spears to short weapons.

And when the Chincha Warrior of Prince Theodor played for the third time, he had already become the focus of the audience. The victory seemed to belong to him. People only need to watch the short and wonderful blow. . However, at this moment, the opponent who appeared on the opposite side gave everyone a glimpse, because at this moment, the one who was riding on the horse and preparing to fight the Chincha warrior was in front of the Frankish knight who was the representative of Genoa~www.readwn.com~ He also won two games, but he was not so eye-catching compared with the previous Chincha Warriors. Looking at this scene, the visitors couldn't help but sigh at the failure of the Genoese. But Justinian was the only one who looked down here with a gloomy face, and his hand under the tablecloth was already pale with his fingers clenched.

"Who do you think will win?" Justinian asked, looking at Antonia Doria, who was also paying attention to this duel.

The girl in front of him shrugged slightly and said nonchalantly: "It’s hard to say, I have to admit that Alfred is a good dog from Doria’s family and also a bad dog. Although the one under Prince Theodor has to say very much. Great, but if he is still as careless as the previous two times, I am afraid he will suffer a lot."

As Antonia's voice fell, the horns of the gladiatorial battle were blown, and the riders collided with each other on the field. Although there was no spear cracking and shattering, the clank of the collision between the mace and the broadsword was still screaming from the crowd, and this time , The Qincha Warrior did not make a quick battle, and after several encounters, the two sides were evenly matched, which made everyone present dumbfounded for a while. Such a wonderful scene immediately refreshed the audience, and they couldn't help but cheer for both sides in unison. But Justinian still looked solemn, because the short-term fight was like an electric flint, without sufficient keen insight, it was impossible to notice it. In the past few fights, it was clear that it was a fateful fight.

On the other hand, Antonia Doria, who watched the match indifferently, directly judged whether the duel was won or lost.

"It's a pity, it looks like that guy Alfred won this time..."
