Black Iron Crown

Chapter 428: Champion knight

Reiner stepped onto the temporary high platform in the arena, and Count Varas stood in the first place. He was the champion of this game.

After him, he is the runner-up Aquino of the game.

At this time, Aquino's face was full of frustration.

Although he also got a good result as the runner-up, the difference between the prize and the championship is very big.

It’s nearly ten times worse. The prize for the runner-up is only a mere twenty gold coins. Although this is still a huge wealth of a baron’s full income for two years, it is far from enough if he wants to achieve his goals. .

In addition, the five sets of composite armor also missed him. He wanted to get it most but didn't get anything.

Although he got a good result second only to the championship, he did not achieve his goal. After losing this opportunity, I don't know how long it will take to have such an opportunity.

The small-scale competitions held by the remaining lords can be said to be quite rich with one or two gold coins.

Even if he becomes a mercenary or gradually becomes a mercenary team, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to look good in a few years.

There are so many mercenary organizations in the emperor and abroad, but no mercenary can develop and grow to the point where it can control the destiny of a country, and even those mercenaries have no ability to resist in front of some earls.

"Perhaps... it's not the time yet..." Aquino comforted himself in his heart.

However, he has no objection to the result of this game.

Because he was indeed beaten upright by the Earl of Varas in the arena.

Even though he is very confident in his own force, which Earl Varas is powerful is the only one seen in his life.

In the past, he has competed with countless powerful knights and defeated them. He knows what his martial arts have reached.

And just like this, he still felt that he had no resistance in front of Earl Varas, and that swift movement and almost irresistible power had imprinted an indelible impression in his heart.

Rainer picked up the pure gold olive branch crown from the tray on the side and put it on the head of Count Varas, and said: "Congratulations, Count Varas, you won the championship of this tournament with great force!"

"Two hundred gold coins and five sets of armors, you can pick them up when you look back!" Rainer patted Count Varas on the shoulder and said approvingly.

After speaking, Rainer turned his gaze to Aquino on the other side.

"Is Sir Aquino?" Rainer walked to his face and said with a smile.

"Yes...yes..." Aquino looked at Renner in shock.

Because he discovered that the martial arts in front of him was so impressive that his fame spread throughout the Redka Empire, even the Grand Duke Lena, whom he had heard of as an outsider, was so young.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'm not as old as I am!

"Your performance on the court is very brave!" As he said, Lena picked up the olive branch head ring cast in sterling silver and put it on Aquino's head.

"What a strong warrior!" Lena couldn't help but admire looking at Aquino's huge body.

"The bonus of twenty gold coins is yours!"

"That's right!" Reiner asked, looking at the bruise on Aquino's face, "What are you doing so desperately on the battlefield? You should know that you are not an opponent of Count Varas, why not admit defeat? ?"

He was puzzled by Aquino's desperate appearance on the court. Although honor is important, even if he admits defeat, he is second.

But he didn't seem to think so. His whole body was covered with scars from the long sword of Earl Varas, and he didn't admit defeat anyway.

Aquino couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile as he listened to Rainer's inquiry, and said, "I need money and those five armors very much. I have something to take back!"

"Taking it back?" Rainer couldn't help but carefully looked at the tall and strong knight in front of him.

"Is this another prince who was robbed of his family territory and wanted revenge?" Rainer was very proud of his imagination.

"So, how effective are you joining my subordinates?" Reiner said: "The land in the North is very vast. I have a lot of idle land in my hands. If you make a contribution, I don't mind dividing a land. you!"

"Really?" Aquino couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Of course, I never hesitate to give land and titles to those who have made merit!"

After thinking about it for a while, Aquino said apologetically, “I’m sorry Grand Duke Rainer, but I’ve made a decision. I plan to use the bounty you gave to raise a team of mercenaries. I want to lose something. Take it back with your own power!"

Rainer couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, and said with a thumbs up: "Very spine-thinking, but you can come back to me at any time if you want!"

Rainer really didn't know what to say. It's not much better to have himself, the Duke of the North, as a backer than to form a mercenary group?

He really couldn't understand Aquino's brain circuits.

But he didn't force it, and one or two knights who were brave and good at fighting for a person of his level could no longer affect the overall situation.

If it were a small-scale team, he would only be valued if he reached the level of fighting power of the Scarlet Griffin Knight.

So after giving Aquino the award, he gave the award to the next person.

It is worth mentioning that among the ten award-winning knights, five of them are Scarlet Griffon knights under Rainer's command. In addition to this, there is also a knight of the beloved. In addition to Aquino, the remaining three talents They are knights and wandering knights under the command of royal lords.

The tournament finally came to a successful conclusion. The bravery and heroic attitude of these knights on the court left a lot of conversations on the wine table for the residents.

At the same time, I don’t know how many aristocratic girls have been seduced by the heroic knights in the arena, and they are restless and want to start a sweet love~lightnovelpub.net~ At the same time, there are also many martial arts high but unfortunately. The eliminated wandering knights were recruited by the impaired royal lords.

Even Rainer's vassals recruited a lot of powerful knights, which greatly enhanced Rainer's strength.

By the next day, all the royal lords were summoned by Rainer again and arrived at the banquet hall.

Lena sat on the chair with his hands crossed, and today he was going to drop a blockbuster among these lords.

Yesterday, Lena made a temporary intention, letting everyone see that he was not weak to be bullied about Frank, and today he plans to play a trick to give a sweet date.

Soon, even though they were dissatisfied with what happened before, the lords still came to the banquet hall.

They filed in and took their seats according to the previously arranged seats.

"Is there anything going on calling us, Duke Reiner?" Count Von Lence looked at Reiner coldly after sitting down, and asked provocatively.
