Knights of Tezoth

If he had hit the horse, Alaria would have attacked him too, instead of healing an already dead horse. And Rezara would have been easily taken down by stealth damage — one hit would have been enough. Then the turn would have refreshed and Lester could have switched to the horse.

ready, ready.

I'll kiss Rezara and everything in her life will work out.

Somehow remembered those jokes about Arandor and the dog.

XI

Opponent — Milady Alsira Vecchi d'Arcrede, Knight of the Moon Shadow from Forun, servant of Ciel Pinkoflight

First, Alsira swallowed an olive, and then took Zephyr out of the fight, just as she had done with other steeds earlier in the tournament. I, albeit only on my third shot, knocked out her pegasus in return. A duel of lance and bow began.

I landed the first hit, but it was Alsira who struck painfully. While I greedily gulped down a healing potion, the Knight of the Moon Shadow kept piercing me with her lance again and again. Having somewhat patched myself up, I fired a series of shots, but by some miracle my opponent managed not only to dodge them all, but also to land another blow on me. And then another one.

Having drained the entire contents of my flask, I no longer believed in any victory. But that didn't mean I should give up. The warriors of Guildaria fight to the last! So I began to play by Alsira's rules, spending energy on dodging instead of healing.

For a while we seemed to dance together: Alsira swung her lance, and I missed, gathered my arrows, and then missed again. And this went on until I raised my bow higher and struck the Moon Shadow in the head.

Note: despite the wound Alsira received, the healers did their best — not a trace of a scar remains. And that is pleasing! I would not want the beautiful face of this lady to suffer, especially from a friendly tournament rather than a serious battle.

Round 11, fight 3.

Milord Ambrose Turbon V Milady Alaria Doran

Ambrose broke through Alaria's armor with his first strike, significantly weakening her and forcing her to retreat to heal. Then both fighters exchanged unsuccessful blows, until the Knight of Hegemony wounded the Knight of Catharsis once again. Because of this, barely holding onto her sword, she resumed self-healing.

True, this only delayed the inevitable. While Alaria was taking sips, Ambrose kept piercing her with his spear again and again. And he kept doing so until his opponent first dropped her flask and sword, and then fell herself.

Since Rezara can spawn anywhere, let Alaria start in the bottom-left corner.

Round 11, fight 4.

Milady Nelia Vesta V Sir Orvald de Martelam

While the rider advanced, Nelia assumed a defensive stance. Dodging the strike, she attempted to hit Bastion but missed. Orvald, however, did not miss on his second attempt, though his blow was not too serious.

While Nelia unsuccessfully attacked the horse, Orvald landed two more hits on her, ultimately temporarily immobilizing her. He then managed to make a mistake, not only missing but also allowing the axe of the Knight of Joy to graze Bastion. With her next strike, Nelia took the horse out of the fight, leaving her one-on-one with her opponent.

The Knight of the Golden Tower, leaping off his wounded horse, lunged toward the Knight of Joy and finished her off instantly. Thus, he secured the bronze medal of this tournament.

Knight of the Bronze Tower. 🤭

Round 11, fight 5.

Milord Axel Von Himmel V Milord Candle Lanterna

At the start of the battle, Candle and Axel exchanged arrows of courtesy. While the Knight of Gloomy Sky was restoring health, his wyvern closed the distance and successfully set the Knight of Swift Arrow on fire. Candle was forced to lower his bow to drink a potion.

Meanwhile, Axel switched to his sword and, together with his wyvern, continued the assault, albeit unsuccessfully. However, the burning Candle, through the pain, managed to shoot his opponent, forcing him once again to turn to a healing potion. Still, he also took a break to recover.

Despite the fact that his wyvern also somehow caught fire, Axel seized the initiative and landed a successful sword strike. Candle lowered his weapon again, healed himself, and tried to fight back, but to no avail.

It seemed a cruel glint lit up in the eyes of the Knight of Gloomy Sky. He swung with all his might and powerfully slashed his opponent with his sword, thus claiming victory for himself. And along with the victory, he also earned the silver medal of this tournament.

And I thought the brawl was tomorrow...🤣

Round 11, fight 6.

Milord Lester Vargas V "Milord" Galaharadron

The first blow was struck by Lester, who, as per his habit, wounded his opponent in the arm first. Galaharadron, in turn, responded with a rather powerful chop of his axe. But the tournament champion could no longer be stopped!

Despite his size, the Knight of Dawnsteel, as if in a dance, closed in on the Golden Coin and, with surgical precision, slashed him across the neck. Healers rushed to restore Galaharadron, while Lester Vargas joyfully celebrated his final victory.

Nah, there will also be a mounted archers' contest later, they'll invite Emilia for that, and Alaria will have to judge it.

Having finished her last report on the recent tournament, Stefania gathered a pile of all her notes and headed to Adalard to hand them over to him, as she had promised earlier. Naturally, the young woman made sure he was free for this matter.

— My lord, as promised, I have analyzed all the battles of the tournament, — this time Stefania's hands were occupied, so she did not salute. — I have written everything down in as much detail as possible. I could also offer to make a copy of these documents for Sir Yin for the library archives of Tezoth, if you deem it necessary.

Just don't forget to remove the words about Alaria's stealth. Never pressed that button once during the tournament...

I'd already forgotten about that. Fixed it, but if Reven says to bring it back — I'll bring it back.
