Chapter 123 Duel and Allegiance (please subscribe!)
Several palace attendants hurriedly cleared the open space, removed wooden tables and lamps, and placed weapon racks for the duel sides to choose from.
Lailen carried a heavy two-handed warhammer in his hand and wore a training plate armor. In my father's name, I, Adrian Gentry, challenge you, Lord Lallen!"
"In the name of Sigmar." Lyron raised the heavy warhammer in his hand.
Saluting each other means a battle of friendship. When the point is reached, the two sides have opened a sufficient distance. The field of thirty yards is enough for the knights to display their best strength. Adrian raised his long sword and erected his shield, posing a standard offensive sword. The battle against Laylen, who bears the name of "Hero of the Empire", made him observe carefully all the time. The knight of the kingdom in the north held the handle of the warhammer with both hands and stood silently in place.
None of them were in a hurry to attack and looked at each other.
"Dear Sir Knok, how many tricks do you think this young knight can hold under Lallen?" Clement James, the commander of the Griffin Knights, stood beside the Holy Grail Knight, both of whom were equally powerful. At the high level of the Legendary Rank, only one step away from the Sanctuary Rank of the pinnacle of human beings, who is stronger or weaker in the duel on the field can be known by one move and one move.
"A duel of less powerful knights, three fights, and the winner can be determined. Adrian has the strength of the elite level. If he is careful enough, he may be able to withstand four or even five times." He opened his mouth and said that the power of the lady in the lake was faintly emerging in him, and the eyes of the Holy Grail Knight were full of light. In the eyes of the Holy Grail Knight who had experienced hundreds of battles, the outcome of the outcome could not be changed.
The head of the Griffin Knights smiled knowingly and said, "Do you believe in Laylen's strength so much? Adrian is a Captain of Rick's guards, an imperial gold coin, I bet he can survive six moves."
"My lady doesn't like grail drinkers taking bets."
"Does the **** of fortune predict that one of us will be favored?"
".Can."
In the open space, the distance between the two knights gradually shortened, one of them still maintained an offensive stance, and his eyes kept looking at the opponent.
"For the Emperor!" Adrian was the first to attack, and the young knight rushed towards the imperial hero who was slightly older than him, like a griffin hanging in the air, the dawn sword in his hand, the sword The striker stabbed forward, rushing towards Lallen quickly.
Laylen approached him step by step, the warhammer slanted over his shoulders, perfectly avoiding the straight stab of the long sword, and swept out with the hammer in both hands.
"Hmm!" Adrian raised his shield vigorously, and the hard warhammer hit the shield with a harsh sound. The brute force from his left arm made the young knight groan uncontrollably. He tilted the shield and stepped back a little. , relieved the heavy pressure brought by the warhammer to himself, and then the long sword pierced from the side of the shield, straight to Laren's waist.
The kingdom knight twisted the handle of the hammer, took advantage of the situation, locked Adrian's right elbow, and the long sword only pierced a hole in his clothes. Throwing it out, the whole process is completely unaffected by the other party.
Adrian Gentry almost lost his balance on the soles of his feet. His rich practical experience made him subconsciously stabilize his body. When he raised his shield, Laylen was already in front of him. The warhammer fell again, and the young knight had to be forced to defend without fighting back. Power.
Outside the arena, Sir Nok of the Knight Kingdom narrowed his eyes and said sharply, "He let out the water."
"锵!" The warhammer and the long sword were slashed together. The young knights kept changing their sword moves to try to counterattack, while the kingdom knights slammed down for ten times. As long as the swift warhammer fell, Adrian had to defend again.
"Four times." The head of the Griffin Knights watched coldly, but his heart was turbulent.
A Rick guard company commander was taken away by the opponent all the way, and Laylen has never made a mistake from the beginning to the present. No matter in terms of accuracy or power, Laylen has shown no less than the average strength of the legendary rank.
"Clang!" After holding the hammer for the fifth time, the kingdom knight did not give Adrian a chance to get up and attack again. The two-handed war hammer smashed the shield in the knight's hand and blocked the cut down sword of dawn. Raising his iron boots, he kicked Adrian Gentry's belly plate with the empty door wide open.
Then, just as Adrian retreated and fell, Laylen took the Dawn Excalibur that flew away from his hand, held the hilt backwards, and hit the top of the knight's kite helmet with the weighted ball at the end of the blade, smashing it. Next: "Boom!"
A red, swollen, purple-colored Adrian appeared on his forehead, and fell heavily to the ground, a trace of red blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. The shield fell far into the open space, and a few pots of flowers fell. The Gentry family has inherited it for three hundred years. The Dawn Sword was held in Lallen's hands, the point of the sword pointed to his throat: "In Sigmar's name, you lose, Adrian Gentlely."
"Ahem. Yes, I lost this honorable duel." The young knight did not seem to regret the result, he muttered: "It is my honor to be defeated by the heroes of the Empire."
Laylen also took off his helmet, he sighed lightly, and bent over to pick up Adrian: "Your father, Hans Gentry is a worthy knight, he is a good man, I feel for this. I am so sorry."
"Hmm." Looking at Lailun's sincere gaze, the young knight nodded lightly, took the family-legendary sword in both hands, and lowered his head.
After a few breaths, there was overwhelming applause and cheers in the Elector's palace, and the knights raised their arms to draw an end to this honorary duel. From tomorrow, people will sing the name of Lallen's hero, Ah. Derian Gentry will also be known around the world for his courage and recognition by the heroes of the Empire.
The duel of knights is over. The electors walked out of the banquet hall. They had a full understanding of Laylen's strength. No one felt that Adrian Gentry was a shameful failure. On the contrary, Laylen lost. The hands made them feel righteous and even a little proud. Many knights regretted that they had not been able to challenge the heroes of the empire before Adrian, and the opportunity to make a name for themselves was just missed.
In particular, the twenty-odd Brittanian knights who were full of chivalrous spirit and the performance of the son of Hans Gintley impressed them. The expedition knights valued courage most and were not afraid of the challenge of powerful enemies. In the long journey to continue to find the Holy Grail motivation, perseverance and perseverance.
At the banquet, several noble ladies and ladies were very fond of Adrian, who was handsome and heroic. Of course, the imperial hero Lailun who supported him made them even more excited.
The armor and the chain mail made a harsh sound, and the purple bruises on Adrian's forehead were particularly striking. Fortunately, the servants handed over ice packs in time. Although Lailun put water in many places during the duel, the last shot was very sharp. The kick, but with all his strength, the young knight can only breathe in small mouths until now, and the dull pain is enough to remember him for a lifetime.
Looking at the two knights gradually walking back to the banquet hall, Sir Knok, the ambassador of the knight kingdom, said flatly to Clement James: "It seems that the luck of the lady favors me more."
An imperial gold coin was slapped on his palm, and then the head of the Griffin Knights had a dark face and strode away.
The Holy Grail Knight showed a smile, he put away the gold coin, and continued to stare at Laren.
"Fantastic play, very exciting! Ludwig behind the emperor took the initiative to take over and support Adrian, Karl Franz clapped non-stop, and his angular face was full of kindness: "The knight duel usually has some rewards, full of As the prize of the winner, Adrian, as my Rick guard for many years, this prize should be bestowed by me. "
"Come on!"
Soon, the valet brought two precious velvets and a silk blanket. The emperor smiled and said, "The high elf velvet shipped from the other side of the vast ocean, and the silk blankets produced in the Weijing of Aurora are the spoils of Lord Lailun. , and send them together."
Lailun had no reason not to accept the gift presented in front of him. He took the spoils and nodded towards the emperor: "Thank you Your Majesty for the reward."
The emperor smiled unchanged, raised his hand and motioned for Adrian Gentry to step forward: "To tell you the truth, Your Excellency Lailun, Adrian is no longer the Rick guard, he has a ruthless request."
"Allow me to swear allegiance to you! Lord Laren!"
As soon as the emperor's words fell, Adrian knelt on one knee in front of the kingdom knights. He put the Dawn Sword on the ground, pressed his right fist to his chest, raised his face, and solemnly swore: "I will guard you by your side, for you Give advice, give my life in times of crisis, I swear by Sigmar and Charlemagne!"
A powerful oath echoed on the walls of the hall.
Recalling the scene when Hans Gentry tragically died of the Cthulhu Champion, Lallen felt guilty from the bottom of his heart. Under the protection of the Imperial Cross, Hans Gentry could leave the battlefield without incident, survive and continue to enjoy He deserved everything, but he chose the second path without hesitation, and exchanged self-sacrifice for the end of Kamala Dragon Bloodhound.
With this reason, Lyron would not refuse Adrian's allegiance.
"You will always have a place by my hearth, I swear, I will never let you do any injustice, I swear in the name of Sigmar and Charlemagne!" Laylen replied, and he put Adrie in his hands. An picked up and stared at him: "Get up and be my knight!"
The warm applause resounded in the hall again, and the knights once again witnessed the vow of loyalty that will never be broken.
"Welcome to the Oak Collar! My friend!" Nikas Francis stepped forward from behind Lallen, and the Kingdom Knights of Oak Town and Adrian Gentile embraced.
The emperor smiled and narrowed his eyes, and seemed to be celebrating this solemn oath. Only a few people could guess the emperor's thoughts and arrangements.
The banquet continued, and Karl Franz introduced the Electors to Lellen: "Come, great imperial hero, this is the Elector of Ivey, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Marius Randolph. Your Excellency, Aiweiland is a wealthy province second only to Rickland and Wessonland, and it is also the most important agricultural province in the south of the empire. The boundless and fertile plains ensure the low price of grain and sufficient granary supply in the south. Every year, 40% of the grains to support the northern provinces are produced in Aiweiling.”
"Hello, Your Excellency Elector Randolph." Lyron looked at the bearded Marior Randolph in front of him. In the grain trade of the empire, the Grand Duke of Tuscany was extremely influential, and all nobles wanted to Befriending him, especially the profiteers of Marienburg, expressed enough respect for the emperor's important political ally, the kingdom knights: "My territory is booming, the population is increasing, and the food demand is also increasing. I'm getting better and better, and I believe that I will need to sign a large grain trade order soon."
"Ivey has full confidence to provide your territory with satisfactory prices and high-quality food crops." Marius Redolf shook hands with the kingdom knights with a smile: "Your Excellency Lallen can meet with me at any time, haha~ ~”
Karl Franz's expression changed a bit, and the food production in Rickland was not low. His most urgent information at the moment was what Leren needed, and then to meet his needs, let alone trade food, it was a free gift, The emperor's heart can be happy.
With such an important opportunity to make friends, the Emperor didn't want to give up his hand, so he took over the words and said, "Lord Lallen, if your territory is in short supply of food, it just so happens that Rickling has invested in the construction of several granaries in Kronborg, which are in advance. Thousands of catties of grain for winter ploughing and spring ploughing in the coming year can be given to you first without costing a single copper coin."
"Your Majesty, I admire your generosity and kindness, and I thank you for the people in the territory!" Lailun bowed deeply to the emperor with an excited expression.
Elector Ivey didn't say anything else. He understood what the emperor meant. It was a good thing to have the heroes of the empire join the faction of the elector in the south.
Karl Franz smiled and continued to introduce him. A tall, tall, goatee, middle-aged man in a dark felt hat and a collar emblazoned with the coat of arms of the red bull family stretched out to Lehren. Started: "Hello, Lord Lallen, I am Modest von Atkinson, Count of Wolfen, son of Oleg von Atkinson, Elector of Osterling, you are in Serbia I was deeply impressed by Sammond's performance, courageous, decisive, and spared no effort!"
"Purely out of devotion to my lord and the responsibility to save the people of the empire." Laylen shook hands with him: "The red bull flag of Ostland has stood in the north for more than two thousand years and has never fallen. Such a feat makes People admire, I firmly believe that the red bull flag will always stand on the top of the North!"
"Thanks for the praise!" Modest nodded vigorously, and the respect Laren showed for the Oster Territory was very useful to him. The son of the Elector of Oster felt that the two sides were very compatible.
Soon, this grand banquet was over, and Lailun met several electors and many great nobles under the recommendation of the emperor. Just the preliminary trade agreement negotiated in a few words, enough oak collar goods were exported to the empire. border.
Three days later, the imperial coalition continued to fight in the north.
