vs 34 Prologue before the Great War

The soldiers' banquet was simple, they only needed rich food and wine to party all night, and after the fight on the training ground, Duke Ron specially arranged this banquet, a banquet for soldiers only.

Two hours later, when the banquet reached its climax.

The battle between Pedi and Knight Sila officially began with the cheers of the officers, and the ring where they fought was in the middle of the banquet hall.

The Duke of Gna acted as a referee, and all the officers acted as notaries.

Perhaps out of respect for the lady, after Duke Gna said "start", Pedi did not choose to attack, and Ciara was not polite, she immediately seized the opportunity to approach Pedi's left side with a thrust, and at the same time, the wooden sword in her hand slashed horizontally at Pedi's waist with the surging holy power of her whole body.

"When" The two wooden swords converged, and the sound of the collision of holy power made Sira's eardrums tingle for a while, but she didn't think much about it, and the moment her body retreated slightly, the wooden sword in her hand stabbed forward,

"When"

"When"

Knight Siara's every attack was fended off, and it wasn't until after the third attack that she had to take a step back again... Sila, who had stabilized her figure, frowned, and the movement she had just retreated from was completely subconscious, because she sensed danger.

"Knight Sira, haven't you eaten? ”

"Kill your opponent, knightess. ”

"Come on, ma'am. ”

Beside them, the officers began to cheer for Knight Sira.

Pedi feels as if he has become the villain of the drama at this moment, and his opponent, Knight Syra, is like a hero who swears to destroy monsters...

"Shut up, you're arguing about me. Knight Syra didn't appreciate it, and glared fiercely at the officers who were heckling around her.

"Haha, our female knight is angry. ”

Far from being annoyed by this, the officers cheered louder.

"Do you want to continue?" said Pedi with a wry smile on his face, speaking in a small voice.

But Knight Syra heard it clearly, and she let out a cold 'snort' from her nose, "Of course you have to continue, I haven't failed yet." ”

After saying that, her holy power skyrocketed again, and she rushed forward again,

Feeling Sira's determination, Pedi couldn't help nodding secretly, he decided not to keep his hand anymore, only to see that the holy power covered the wooden sword in Pedi's hand in the blink of an eye, and when Knight Siarra attacked him, he gently picked it up, and then pushed away Knight Sira's attack.

"Be careful. Pedi reminded in a low voice.

The wooden sword cut through the air, and Sila, who wanted to continue the attack, immediately swung her sword to resist, and between the collision of holy power, a strange thin and long voice challenged Sila's hearing, and at the same time, a feeling of weakness suddenly rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head,

Syra's instant reaction, this is the feeling generated by the suppression of the opponent's holy power!

She was shocked,

Because, after she completed her paladin training, few people were able to suppress her in terms of holy power.

But there is no room for Sirado to think, because Pedi's second attack has arrived, and Sira has blocked it, followed by the third attack, and the fourth attack...

After a few seconds, Cira, who couldn't bear the pressure, stepped back again.

Peidi followed, the wooden sword in her hand was picked up from the bottom up, and on the opposite side, Sila, who had just stabilized her figure, had a general face, and her fighting instinct made her raise her sword to resist, but this time, Sira was a beat slower, and the wooden sword hit the soft flesh under her armpit,

"Hmm—" Knight Cried out in pain, and before she could react, there was a stinging pain in the back of her right hand holding the sword.

The wooden sword fell to the ground.

At this time, Peidi took two steps back and did not continue to attack.

The surrounding officers were stunned at this time, because the two of them had just switched between offense and defense, so they didn't adapt to it all of a sudden, and when they got used to it, the reality told them that the fight seemed to be over...

"I lost. ”

After more than ten seconds, Sira looked at Pedi and said.

But for Knight Sira, this defeat is not so simple, firstly, the Holy Power that she is most proud of is as fragile as a joke in front of the Peidi Holy Force, and secondly, her control of the Holy Force, under the interference of the Peidi Holy Force, will actually show signs of collapse,

At this moment, Syra finally knew why the paladins of those churches had warned her not to test her holy powers if she fought with Pedi.

"You don't seem convinced?" Pedi glanced at the wooden sword that Knight Sila had dropped to the floor.

"No, you're mistaken. Sira shook her head, "I just didn't expect me to lose so quickly, although I don't want to admit it, your holy power is indeed stronger than mine, and in this regard, I am obviously inferior to you. ”

Pei Di was a little surprised by Sila's open-mindedness, and after the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Pei Di commented: "It can be seen that you are a knight with a heart, which will help you in your cultivation of holy power in the future." ”

My mentor said the same thing. Sira said with a wink of her eyes.

Pedi shrugged and didn't speak again.

"Let's toast to Baron Pedy's victory. "Duke Ron walked up to Peddy and Ciara at this time, and served them a glass of wine himself.

"Cheers. Petdy gentlemanly clinked glasses with Cira.

"For your victory. Ciara said.

"No, for everyone's victory. Pedi whispered, and then, turning to look around at the officers around him, he said loudly, "Cheers to our victory." ”

"Cheers to victory. ”

"Gollum"

After a glass of wine, the officers laughed with joy.

Duke Ron then said to Knight Syra, "Come on, our champion, you can sit at the front today." As he spoke, two maids stepped forward and helped Pedi and Knight Siala take off their protective gear.

Next to Pedy's original seat, the maids added a seat, which was for Ciadra.

"I thought you were going to let her. Earl Omar teased Pedi as soon as Knight Syra sat down.

Pedi smiled, "If that's what you think, you should have told me in advance." ”

"I thought we two brothers could connect hearts. ”

"That's a shame, I don't know what you're thinking. ”

"Baron Pedi is letting me..."Knight Sila suddenly said seriously, "If he chooses to attack at the beginning, I may not hold out for more than ten seconds." ”

Her words suddenly put the conversation between Count Omar and the Pedi brothers into a cold field...

"Haha!" the Duke of Gna laughed and almost slipped off his seat.

"Haha!" Immediately after, everyone at the main table laughed.

Pedi and Count Omar shrugged their shoulders and looked at Knight Syra, who was not stupid, and immediately said, "I'm sorry, I thought..."

"A good fight. Soon, Duke Ron, the owner of the castle, held back a laugh and interrupted Knight Syra's apology.

"Thank you. Ciara immediately tilted her head and drank to hide her embarrassment.

Count Omar also raised his glass to Sila, "Knight Sira, are you interested in changing your job?"

Sila was stunned at first, and then her eyes lit up, "You mean I can join the combat unit?"

"Yes!" Count Omar nodded, turning his head to look at Pedi, "You can go to Baron Pedy's Fifth Legion, one of his corps has a vacancy for Chief of Staff. ”

"Or the General Staff?" Knight Sila couldn't help but look at Pedi, "and you're leaving the Seventh Combined Legion?"

Pedi looked at his brother strangely, but then he realized what Count Omar meant, and he said, "The Third Mixed Legion, stationed in the frontal line of Benson Town, I think, will welcome you, Knight Syra." ”

"But..."

"This is not a discussion, but a military order. Count Omar grimaced.

"Yes, sir. Knight Syrah immediately stood up and saluted.

Count Omar nodded with satisfaction, and said with a straight face: "The order will be delivered to you tomorrow morning, so prepare well in the evening, perhaps, tomorrow you will follow Baron Pedi to the front." ”

"Understood, sir. ”

"Hey, it's in the middle of a banquet. Duke Gna stood up suddenly, and touched the glass in Count Omar's hand vigorously, "Put away your sir." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry!" said Count Omar at once, and immediately said to Knight Cyra, "Now, we should enjoy this rare feast. ”

After that, there was no wave in the whole banquet.

Wine and food became the main theme of the banquet.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the banquet officially ended.

For several hours, all the officers maintained a high-pitched state of mind, and it could be seen that these people had been very depressed in recent times.

And this banquet became an outlet for them to vent...

In the words of Duke Ron, if it weren't for wartime, the banquet would have lasted until the next morning.

Eight o'clock in the morning,

The newly awakened Knight of Cyra received an official order, and fifteen minutes later, Pedi's order came: assemble at the east gate of the inner city in half an hour.

On the other side,

Just as Pedi was getting everything ready to leave for Benson Town, Count Omar found him,

In an open area outside Chrysburg, Earl Omar and Pedi rode side-by-side, followed by their retinue ten meters behind them.

"My brother," whispered Count Omar, "if this plan fails, do you know what to do?"

"What?" said Pedy's gaze.

"You should know what I'm trying to say. Count Omar stared at the noble villa area he was heading to, "If this plan fails, you must immediately break through to the south with your men, regardless of the battlefield situation at that time." ”

"My brother, you—" Peidi's palms suddenly covered with sweat.

"Haha," Count Omar burst out laughing, "but we have a good chance of winning this plan, aren't they?"

Pedi stared at his brother's side face and said in a firm tone, "Yes." ”

With a smile on his face, Count Omar patted his big palm on Pedy's shoulder, "Alright, it's time for you to go." With that, he pulled the horse's head and galloped away to the other side.

Half an hour later,

It's almost nine o'clock,

Far away in the imperial capital, Duke Nick received an encrypted letter from his eldest son, Count Omar, with a personal blood hawk, and when he read the contents of the letter, he immediately put down all the work he was doing and hurried straight to the town of Cokwin.

Duke Eric of Kwyn Town also received an encrypted message from Duke Gnar at the same time, and after reading the contents, he immediately stopped the morning meeting that was being held and found the emperor as soon as possible.

An hour later, Duke Eric walked out of the Emperor's room disappointed, and then, after two hours of pondering in his office, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Duke Eric's personal representative secretly went to the Cullen Domain.

And almost at the same time, Duke Ron, Duke Gna, and Duke Nick, the Prime Minister of the Empire, all sent their personal representatives to Cullen Territory one after another.
