The sunlight poured into the ancient and grand Great Arena, a colossal structure capable of accommodating tens of thousands, and at this moment, it was packed to the brim.
The stands surrounding the arena were tier upon tier, with people dressed in colorful attire, resembling a grand sea of flowers.
Amidst the stirring blare of horns and trumpets, the knights, clad in full heavy plate armor, mounted on warhorses, proudly entered the Great Arena to thundering cheers.
The knights' helmets were adorned with more splendid ostrich feathers, peacock feathers, wolf tails, and even carvings than what would be seen on the battlefield. Both the riders and their steeds were equipped with armor and draped in bright and luxurious emblem cloaks.
In their hands, they held aloft banners depicting the emblems of their respective families—such as a soaring eagle, a roaring lion, a galloping wolf, and surging waves. These ancient symbols danced in the wind, vivid and radiant.
