Seeing the knights who were fighting each other again and again like a car accident scene, Malin was frightened to see it. You know, these people who participated in the competition were all noble children. If it were the children of powerful people in later generations, shouldn’t they go to spend money? Why participate in a life-long game like a knight competition?

In later generations, even ordinary people would not easily do too dangerous things. Those who do particularly dangerous jobs often require money to have to die. Not until the point of despair, no one will easily die.

But now, there are more than a thousand noble children on the field who are fighting to the death for dozens of places. Marin shook his head and made a decision in his heart - he would never allow his son Caesar to play knight competitions with others in the future. As long as he has this idea, breaking his legs first... Broken legs are better than losing his life...

Moreover, the knights are about to withdraw from the stage of history. With the popularity of muskets, the knight class will become extremely embarrassing. The French are too obsessed with the knight tradition, so they are abused into dogs by the German black-shirted knights who hold muskets. The painful lessons of decades of failure in the battle for hegemony have made the French slowly abandon the knight tradition. But now, France is still a country dominated by knights. Whoever wants to depose the knights in France will probably be beaten to death soon.

Not to mention France, even Germany is now a knight country. In this country, the officers are basically knights or knights.

Only a strange thing like the Beihai Kingdom will lead to civilians serving as military officers. Therefore, the Beihai Kingdom army was rejected and slandered by various countries. Because the cavalry officers of various countries believed that the Beihai Kingdom army used civilians as military officers, which was a trampling on tradition. An army led by civilians was not worthy of being called an army. Therefore, after the early disastrous success, Marin had to promote a large group of civilian officers to knights. Otherwise, the Beihai Kingdom army would be even more eye-catching.

Marin actually regretted this knight competition. Seeing each knight fall off his horse and injured him, Marin felt embarrassed. After all, it was because he had nothing to do to inquire about this knight competition that made them injured.

In fact, Marin has done well enough. The early knight competition was cruel. The early knight competition was not made with hollow guns, and the spear head was also metal. Often, dozens of knights were killed in a knight competition. As for falling off the horse and being injured, that was common.

Later, the Holy Sees that the Knights' Battle Sabre was too much casualties and bans the Knights from fighting. However, this matter cannot be resisted. Why? Because the knights' desire to compete is very strong.

In the absence of war, the competition is the only opportunity for the knights to show their courage or pretend to compete. If you don’t let the knights compete, wouldn’t it stop others from decorating? Therefore, even the ban from the Holy See cannot stop the knights from pretending to compete...

Moreover, knight competition is an important means for knights to pick up girls. Whenever a knight wins a competition, there will always be ignorant little girls crazy about it. Even some poor knights who have won the knight competition will win the favor of noble ladies and gain both wealth and wealth.

Of course, in addition to faking and gaining love, the knights who win the competition have a great chance of gaining appreciation from the great nobles, getting good military positions, and even getting titles and fiefs.

Therefore, although there is great danger in the competition of knights, participating in the competition of knights and winning the competition is their only way to change their lives. If anyone stops their counterattack, it will definitely be their mortal hatred...

...

Looking at the passionate knights who were in high spirits even when they were injured in the competition, Marin shook his head and continued to watch the show.

Unlike Marin, all the nobles around him, whether they were invited to watch the ceremony or the nobles of their own, watched the competition with relish. Especially the old Hoffmann, who cheered loudly while watching it.

Although he was old and could no longer wear his arms and legs in person, it did not prevent him from watching the young knights compete while missing his green years. Thinking back to the time, Old Hoffman was also a famous martial arts knight in Markbourg. He also participated in three martial arts competitions and achieved good results.

I saw Old Hoffman sitting in his seat, eating fried peanuts with relish, and watching the wandering knights on the field happily fight to death. Adler, along with Old Hoffman, also threw peanuts into his mouth, and followed his father to cheer for the knights on the field.

Seeing this, Marin shook his head disappointedly - Can Adler really be competent for the Count's responsibilities? This performance is clearly like a brainless forward general. How can he be a stunning striker in the rear?

However, it is precisely because Adler doesn't like using his brain that Marin is very relieved. If Adler is as scheming as Albert, Marin will probably not be able to sleep well.

...

A few days passed, and after the knockout round, Malin found that more than 300 people were injured in total. In other words, if the normal martial arts competition was eliminated in the first round, one-quarter of the more than 1,200 people participating in the official competition were injured, with the casualty rate reaching 25%... Fortunately, no one died...

"Didn't I lay very thick grass on the ground, and I'm not allowed to thorn the head and horses? Why are there so many injuries?" Marin was a little puzzled.

But Marin didn't think about it. He released 50 places to knights in fief this time!

Although both the wandering knights and fief knights are called knights, the difference is that they are in heaven and earth. The fief knights have fiefs, which is equivalent to being a landlord, and belong to the proprietor. Moreover, they are also nobles, even the lowest-level nobles.

What about the wandering knights? Although they were born in the knight family, they had no title and could only be considered civilians. Without land, they could only wander around like high-level beggars.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, being able to become a fief knight is definitely a step to reach the sky, from a beggar to a landlord. Moreover, it is a landlord with a noble title.

Such a great excitement, and 50 places, can it not make people crazy? Therefore, even though Marin puts many restrictions, these knights still use all their energy to eat, just to gain a chance. If they can change their destiny, what is the point of getting hurt?

Not to mention those knights who lost the competition, even the knights who won the competition were injured.

For example, when the first and second place were competing for the championship, the second place was dismissed and injured. Moreover, the injury was not serious, and the leg was broken.

If it were elsewhere, the second place would be miserable. Because the broken leg may turn him into a disabled person. If he cannot recover, he may lose the opportunity, and the latter one will make up for it and eliminate him. After all, the disabled person cannot go to the battlefield for the throne.

But he was lucky because the North Sea country had orthopedic saints like Morigen and Bater. Moreover, Marin also "invented" the gypsum bandages commonly used in later generations. After treatment, the legs of the knight, who was the second place in the competition, could still be recovered.

Except for the second unlucky second place, the other 300 injured people have not had a big problem this time. Serious injuries such as broken legs and arms may be considered useless by other European doctors in this era. However, the state-owned Mongolian orthopedic doctor in Beihai, plus the gypsum bandages produced by Marin, have a very good grasp of recovery.

When Marin was in high school in his last life, he broke his left arm while riding a motorcycle. Then he had a plaster bandage and was familiar with the process. So, in this life, he created a simple plaster bandage. In addition, two professional orthopedic experts, Morigen and Bartel, they could basically recover as long as they were not comminuted fractures. In this competition, because the players were wearing solid plate armor, the injuries were mostly caused by collisions and wrestling, and there were basically no comminuted bone injuries. The casualties had a very high chance of recovery.

After the competition, Marin announced that all injured people can recover from their injuries in Emden until they recover. During the recovery period, all medical expenses and food and drinks will be borne by Beihaiguo.

...

When Marin announced it, many people present were stunned. Especially the injured wandering knights, they were mentally prepared to return to their hometown in shame. Because, in the past martial arts competitions, the same was true for the winners to receive cheers and rewards, while the losers left in shame...

Even some losers have become useless due to lifelong disability. Whether they have a future or not, whether they can survive is a problem.

So, the more than 300 injured Wandering Knights were grateful to Marin. After all, no one had ever cared about the life and death of the losers. They stayed at Emden to recuperate and continued to eat delicious boxed lunches. In order to speed up their recovery, Marin ordered more fish soup, pig blood soup and bone soup to speed up their injuries.

Later, after the more than 300 injured wandering knights recovered, they basically asked to stay and join the Beihai National Army to serve, even if they became infantry captains. The soldiers died for their confidants. When they were desperate, Marin extended a helping hand to them. So, these people were willing to stay and serve as ordinary infantry captains in the hope of repaying Marin's kindness to them. Marin also admired the loyalty of these people very much, kept them all, and formed the Sixth Legion with these more than 300 wandering knights as their team. Of course, these are all later stories...

As for Adler, he took the 60 Wandering Knights who won the competition and happily rushed to the Ireland County Wicklow to take over the territory.

Why 60 people? According to Marin, the extra 10 people are all substitutes. If the top 50 people die in battle with the Irish natives, or perform too poorly (such as running away at the battle or something), these people can be substituted and replace the dead or those who perform poorly.

...

In addition, Marin also hired 25 people from the last 40 people in the first 100 martial arts competition to go to Rome to serve as the commander of Marin's seven thousand soldiers in Rome, mainly as the positions of some phalanx leaders and company captains. And the officers they replaced, Marin planned to transfer all the officers back to their homeland as an important team to form a new legion...
