The Twilight Expeditionary Force quickly captured the beaches of Talon Island, encountering little resistance.

The impact of explosives is far more terrifying than people think.

After a rough count, about 700 people gathered on Talon Island, most of them were old people, women and children. The young male was sent by the patriarch to attack the town of Twilight and never returned.

At first, the Talon tribesmen thought that the warriors were carrying the spoils of war and would soon return, but the news that Lev risked his life during the Twilight Expedition brought them the worst.

"The old guy standing on the tribal altar is the patriarch of the Talon tribe, Crofts. I heard that his son was the leader of the pirates who were going south. ”

Listening to Morgan's words, Todd led the troops to the square in front of the tribal house, looked at the Talon people holding all kinds of weapons, turned his face to Crofts, and said loudly: "I, Todd Fischer, am the chief of the Twilight Knights and the guardian of Twilight Town!"

As soon as these words came out, there were immediately exclamations and discussions among the Talon tribes.

Todd paused, and continued: "I believe you are no stranger to the name Twilight! Not long ago, the combined forces of your tribes and barbarians attacked my territory, burned my houses, and killed my people. ”

Talon Patriarch Crofts shook his silver whiskers, pushed away the tribal warrior in front of him, and asked in a loud voice to Todd, "Guardian of Twilight, what do you want?

The crowd echoed like waves, and old men, children, and women raised their farming tools and sticks in their hands, and vented curses and insults at the soldiers of the Twilight Expeditionary Force.

Todd narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the stone tablet painted with various deities at the door of the longhouse, and raised the cross on his chest: "I believe in the doctrine that believers are required to be kind to each other, and for those guests who pass by the door, they will always try to even out a piece of bread and hand a glass of water. But how do you do it, like thieves, you set foot on our land, you take everything you see, and you kill every defenseless!"

The soldiers of the Twilight West Expeditionary Force tightened their grips on their weapons and raised their blades at the Talon people in front of them.

Crofts let out a disdainful voice from his nostrils: "Your gods are weak, and your people are like a group of fish waiting to be caught for the North Islanders! We North Island people have the traditions of the North Island people, and we have our own rules of doing things, which are the laws of the gods and the teachings of our ancestors!"

Deep in Todd's throat, he let out a long 'oh' sound, and suddenly said, "In that case, let's settle our grievances according to the tradition of the North Islanders." ”

Watching the soldiers on the other side place the planks on the ground, there was a puzzled sound among the Talon people, and Crofts clutched the beard on his chin and frowned.

"I've heard that there is such a tradition in the North Island. If someone in the family is killed, then the family that suffered the loss has the right to claim compensation, or to demand justice. Todd pointed to the plank on the ground and said quietly, "I am not asking for justice for my people to be done by the ancestors of the North Islanders, is that this request is not too much?"

The Talon listened to Todd's words, and no one expressed dissatisfaction or opposition, which seemed reasonable to them.

Crofts asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"

Todd found a wooden chair and sat down: "I ask for a duel of honor." Just as the enemies of the North Island met at sea, each side sent an equal number of fighters to go head-to-head and duel one-on-one on the springboard. Either kill them all, or die in battle, and let the companions behind you avenge themselves. ”

Watching Crofts hesitate, Todd said with a smile: "The North Island people have the tradition of the North Island people, and they have a set of rules for doing things, which are the laws of the gods and the legacy of the ancestors! You won't forget what you said so quickly, right? Or do you want to go against the will of the gods and ancestors?!"

The old patriarch looked at the gaze cast by the Talon clansmen and gritted his teeth: "The Talon tribe accepts honor duels, but they are not allowed to use the weapons of the gods!"

Todd nodded and said, "You mean the explosion just now, don't worry, I can promise you that the next duel will only use weapons and armor, and will not use any Holy Spirit power." ”

Crofts turned his head and looked at the soldiers beside Todd as he discussed it with the samurai of his clan.

The chief of the Knights, on the other hand, just snapped his fingers at Huggins.

Soon, the teams of the two sides to duel were decided.

The Knights of the Twilight West sent a team of Inheritors, and the Talon tribe sent a team of pirate warriors.

Huggins was the first to come out, his sword in his right hand and his shield in his left, and he stepped onto the plank. Standing across from him was a strong pirate, a head taller than the knight, with muscles as strong as rocks.

The Talon people shouted earth-shattering cheers, chanting the names of the gods and the warriors' exploits.

Morgan walked over to Todd and whispered, "Be careful. This is the Jarl, the strongest warrior of the tribe, who is skilled in battle and fearless of death, often charging at the ......."

Morgan's words could not be finished, and the battle ended with a scream.

In just 10 seconds, Huggins' sword pierced through the shield and stabbed directly into the skull of the princely warrior.

There was a dead silence.

Morgan closed his jaw in shock: "Oh my God! This power, and this speed! The mythical son of the god of war is nothing more than that......"

Todd clapped his hands and shouted at the stunned clawed warrior, "How long are you going to be in a daze?!"

After only three rounds, the second warrior was cut off by Huggins, and then impaled in the chest.

Third person, fourth person......

One after another, the North Island samurai seem to have walked in front of a "steel meat grinder" and verified a legend with their lives.

Finally, the seventh pirate, unable to withstand such a disparity in strength, jumped off the plank, stumbling to escape from the duel.

Todd snapped his fingers and pointed ahead. The soldiers holding the crossbow machine pulled the trigger, and the sound of the bowstring bursting sounded, and the deserter with a dozen crossbow bolts stuck in his back did not even let out a scream, and fell into the mud.

Watching the duel of honor, looking nervous and frightened, Crofts quietly called the people around him and whispered something to him, who nodded and ran to the stables.

"Go on, do you want to wait until the sun goes down?" shouted Todd dissatisfiedly to the remaining tribal warriors.

Fighting is death, and running away is death. The eighth, the ninth...... Until the last person, he simply proved his courage with his life.

There were more than a dozen pirate corpses lying on the ground, the black dirt was stained red with blood, and the knight was like a fierce god who had come out of the ancient wilderness, and his body was covered with broken flesh and blood. The Talon people seemed to be hiding from the devil, away from the 'Blood Knight' in front of them, and there were even children in the crowd who let out a faint cry.

Crofts's face darkened as the bottom of a pot, and he said to Todd with hatred, "Guardian of Twilight, are you satisfied?

Todd touched the bridge of his nose, his face was full of strange expressions, and he shook his head and said, "Patriarch of Talon, what are you talking about?

The old man's eyes widened and he shouted, "What do you mean?!"

"Like I started to say. I asked for an honor duel, with each side sending an equal number of fighters to go head-to-head in turn. Either kill them all, or die in battle, and let the companions behind you avenge themselves. Todd got up from his chair and pointed to everyone in the Twilight Expeditionary Force behind him, including the soldiers, xenos, monks, and even cooks, "They are all our warriors who participated in the duel, a total of 220 people, and now the Talon Clan has only sent 13 people, and I am still waiting for the next 207 of you!"

Crofts's face instantly turned white, and he finally understood what the other party wanted to do! The patriarch grabbed the wooden pillar beside him with a trembling hand, and forced himself not to fall, and said to Todd in a staccato voice: "207 people......? How is that possible?!There aren't that many warriors in the Talon tribe!"

Todd swept his gaze to the tribal crowd: "Look at these people, sickles, hoes, sticks...... Since they have chosen to take up arms and stand in front of us, are they not brave warriors?"

The chief regiment commander withdrew his gaze, stared at the earth-colored patriarch, pursed his lips and laughed: "Besides, when it comes to warriors, doesn't there happen to be another one in front of me?"
