Kapitel 74: Tournament (2)

The preliminary rounds were soon over after a few exciting and some boring bouts. 

It was natural that not all participants were good fighters so some easily defeated their opponents in just a few sets of moves while some took their time. 

The knights in service of the noble guests present obviously had an unfair advantage due to their gear and training but Akarxia was an unfair place and there were no excuses on the battlefield. 

From the dozens and dozens of knights, only the top of the crop was left for the real tournament consisting of twelve knights in total. 

Surprisingly enough, only eight were pledged ones while the rest were either wandering or rogue. This just made the tournament more interesting. 

After the four preliminary rounds, everyone had seen the fighting styles and prowess of the participants and now it was time for betting on the winner.
