Just like in the heavyweight weapons match, in this swords
Louis imuste was in his position
Blackcurrant was retreating while keeping her eyes open to protect her rider, but Auguste still kept his eyes closed and was depressed
Louis often ai to strike the shi+eld attached on the shoulder of Auguste
Blackcurrant avoided the sword attacks that uste
Blackcurrant succeeded in avoiding the first bloung in their direction
But Louis continued to attack mercilessly
Blackcurrant's balance was thrown off due to Ca the moment when her feet stopped
The swords of Auguste and Louis crashed and made sparks
It see that close call
(Uwah, dangerous)
Louis' sword attack was a serious blow that couldn't be seen by untrained eyes
He was 4 years or so older, plus he had the advantage of height and was attacking without mercy
Of course, because it was a sword for the coe was dulled, but if he failed to parry it, even if there was a shi+eld or armor, it seemed that it could break his bones
”He warded it off……? No way, even if he could do it during the heavyweight weapons match, but swords?”
Otou-sa at the imminent battle
Was there so with that?
When I tilted
”That's right Normally it's impossible except by chance Even if it was a 10-h level skill appeared……”
”Ooh, he parried it again I do not think this is a coincidence”
”Otou-sa about?”
When I inquired as I couldn't understand it, the two of them nodded with a mysterious expression
”That's right, this was Erica's first ti the tournament Moreover, there was almost no swords match done in this year's competition”
”Ericojousan, there is a fixed flow to a certain extent in the three matches in this tournament”
His Majesty the King carefully explained it for me
To su on the length of the weapon used
And that fixation becaon increased
Of the three kinds of weapons, it was said that usually thewas only done in the spears match
Shorter weapons would h speed
Dragon knights used special long-handled haht in the air during the ht weapons
Even then, the target was not the shi+elds, but each other's weapon
If the weapons were dropped their victory or defeat would be decided, so as if it was arranged beforehand, they would exchange bloith their weapon and it became a contest of endurance
Of course, as Louis did in this final, sometimes there would be soon to the ground
The dragon that fell to the ground would have their evasion ability considerably reduced
Therefore, it was possible to aim the opponent's shi+eld with relative ease even with a hammer or an axe
The disadvantage of the dragon that was on the ground beca the swords match
Co swords were only about two thirds of that length
That was the reason why it would make it harder to hit shi+elds or each other's weapon
For the dragon knight that was on the ground, attacks froht that was in the air could co those attacks could be difficult, even if they were relying on their dragon's vision
In addition, dragons ofruns to fly
Of course, it was i
So when one of theinal position was particularly important before the match resumed
By the way, the flow of the swords match when it didn't become a one-sided match of air-to-earth was this
Both of them would collectively land orin the air, draw near at the last moment and cross swords with each other
In this way, the
The shi+eld that could be targeted was limited to one place, which made it easier to defend
It was harder to lose their grip of their weapon, since it was not heavy like in the heavyweight weapons match
Since they couldn't use footwork, the ability difference due to their fencing skills onderful to see, etc
Ultimately, the continuous contest of endurance and concentration in a drawn-out battle would decide the victory and defeat
In this way, the original tournath was tested
”In other words, it is a show of great skills that he could stop his opponent's blows round which should be disadvantageous for him”
”It's quite easy to understand, Ericojousan That's right It is hard to understand if you look frouste's point of view, it is very difficult to ward off the attacks In the next ht turn his back on him”
”Is it possible to turn this situation around?”
”Fufufu Please watch uste likes watching this tournament He should be aware of hoork on this situation”
Pro, I concentrate on the match
At that time, it was the moment when the battle situation became a stalemate
Theto turn back and leave, Blackcurrant struck with her long tail
She ais
Camellia's balance was thrown off, she lost her round
With both of theround, it was supposed to be a five-minutes match
”Yosh, he did it! You reuste That was the crucial o”
The made a fist pump and raised his voice unexpectedly
The King who once was lauste's continuous success
”Hon techniques, but Louis is better in physique and actual battle experience Since it's becoons, this is exactly a fifty-fifty match”
”My son will not lose in the contest of endurance Different from how he looks, he is actually a hard worker”
It sounded like a speech fro
He was lifting a heavy bag lightly during the sightseeing tour and there was a sense of stability ere dancing
It was easy to iht have tempered hion
Louis who had dropped to the ground turned completely and went into defense
Letting Camellia took a distance, he also raised his sword and took the posture for defense
But Auguste took an unexpected action
Sand around Blackcurrant inding, and for a uste also made a smokescreen
However, his distance to Louis was too far for the sand to affect him
”What, she is floating!?”
Otou-sama shouted and leaned his body forward
Our attention drawn, the King and I watched over the sand
Blackcurrant with Auguste on her back ly
The 20-on's body was lifted a few
Si, Blackcurrant see them out
This was the identity of what looked like a smokescreen
Louis noticed the anomaly and spurred Camellia to make an assault, but it was already too late
The wings of Blackcurrant caught the wind and she was returning to the sky with Auguste
A black dragon and a single black knight rose as they were
”Your Majesty, what is that?”
”Hmm I have heard of it from the folklore In the era of the Third Giant War, in an anecdote of the Severe King Jean during the expedition to the Karkinos continent The King's troops were cornered by the enee of the giants due to the bad weather However, Urizen1 as the King's ride fleithout running and saved them from that crisis”
”Why is His Highness Auguste can do the sa……?”
