039. Challenge
Allen's questioning made Ridan's face flush and his heart was full of shame, but his face was thick, and he pretended to be very remorseful and apologized.
"I'm sorry Baron Allen, but I didn't know you already had a knighthood. ”
Lidan stroked his chest and bent over, doing enough etiquette.
Before Alan could respond, Dinah next to him glanced at Lidan with cold eyes, "I don't know if I dare to say crazy words, sure enough, it's really a small rural family from poor mountains and bad waters."
If I'm like you, I'm going to get out of here and go back to my own nest and hide it. ”
Don't look at Dinah's usual appearance in front of Allen, she is still a proud girl in nature, and she is most unaccustomed to this kind of aristocratic child who is incapable and shows off her power everywhere.
The crisp voice immediately attracted Ridan's attention, although it was a cold mockery, but he didn't care at all, and looked at Dinah with a grin.
"This beautiful lady is ......"
"Dinah Goethe, if you think I'm insulting you, you can always start a duel with me, a little fourth-level frost mage. ”
Dinah said her name nonchalantly, which made Ridan laugh dumbly, and Duke Field also gasped.
The Goethe family is the main owner of the northern provinces, and now the Goethe family is in charge of the marshal of the northern battlefield, the famous iron-blooded Grand Duke Amaeus.
"If you still find it difficult to get rid of the anger in your chest, you can also challenge my father, the Count of Ent, or even my grandfather, the Duke of Armais.
However, dogs like the Diess family, who like to lie down next to their owners and beg for food, should not have this kind of guts. ”
Alan may not know, but Dinah knows everything about the Diess family, although it is a count's family, they have always looked at the Duke of Jordan as the horse, and it is not wrong to say that it is a vassal if it sounds good, and it is not wrong to call it a lackey if it is bad.
Dinah's words can be described as extremely arrogant, and Lidan was also blue after hearing that the family was insulted, his eyes were full of resentment, and his heart was even more angry.
But Ridan can't help it, just like Dinah said, he can't afford to mess with the Goethe family, and the entire Diess family can't afford to mess with it.
"Okay, these are all misunderstandings, Baron Allen, please come inside. ”
Seeing the embarrassment, Field hurriedly smiled and made a round.
Allen saw that Ridan had not had a seizure for a long time, and he had something to do tonight, so he would no longer have any extraneous branches.
However, just as everyone was about to walk towards the castle, Ritan suddenly shouted, "Please wait a minute, Baron Allen!"
He can't mess with Dinah, but he can't let go of the little Merlin family!
"Baron Allen, that knight of yours pointed his sword at me just now, in my opinion, it is an insult to the Dis family, so I want to challenge him!"
As soon as Ridan's words were finished, the hearts of everyone present were full of contempt for him, it was clear that the young lady of the Goethe family was the most insulted, but in the end, he was counted on the Merlin family, he was really a despicable coward.
Not only did Kridan not care at all, but he also stood up straight, puffed up his chest and asked, "What, is Baron Allen afraid that his knight will lose?"
Alan looked Ritan up and down and chuckled, "Challenge?
He didn't despise Ridan's meanness, in his opinion, this was what most nobles looked like, but if Ritan challenged Locke, it would be no different from sending him to death.
"Of course not, a gentleman wouldn't do it lightly,"
Ridan said as he should, not blushing at all at his retreat, "My squire Victor will fight for me, an excellent fifth-level swordsman. ”
At this time, following Ridan's gaze, Allen noticed that not far from him stood a man as burly as Cobb, but slightly shorter.
"Well, since you insist on this, let this swordsman defend the glory of the Diss family. ”
......
Not long after, everyone sat around the training ground of Golden Spike Castle, and thanks to Allen's arrival, Oster also breathed on the training ground with Field's permission.
At this time, in the open space in the middle of the training ground, Locke faced Victor, who also wore a pair of half-body armor, holding a sword.
"Let's go!"
With the order of the owner of the Golden Spike Castle, the battle between the two began, but because they were fighting with an opponent of the same rank, Locke and Victor were very cautious and tested each other.
Locke's fighting style is mainly based on stability, and the physical training is all-round development, while Victor is similar to Cobb's fighting style, except that he is faster in the big open and close.
Victor wields a broad-backed heavy sword and attacks like a wild boar with fangs.
On the other hand, Locke seemed to be a little timid, not facing Victor head-on at all, but kept dodging and circling around the training ground.
And, perhaps because of the armor he wears, Locke's movements in battle are noticeably sluggish, and every time he dodges Victor's slash in a thrilling way, he looks a little embarrassed in the eyes of the onlookers.
After a few moves, it seems that Victor also discovered this, and the instant speed of swinging the sword again skyrocketed!
Seeing this scene, Locke hurriedly retreated, and at the same time held the long sword diagonally in front of him!
Bite!
Boom!
In a hurry, although Locke blocked the sword that slashed at his chest, he was kicked to the ground by Victor.
This duel has just begun, and Locke is not as good as others, and the onlookers naturally have the answer in their hearts.
And Li Dan was even more convinced of the victory, and glanced at Alan proudly.
But to his disappointment, Alan didn't seem to care at all, still smiling and staring at the battle on the field.
"That's not how Brother Locke beat me......" Cobb scratched his head and muttered quietly when he saw Locke fall to the ground.
Cobb concluded that this Victor must not even be able to defeat himself, how could he knock down Locke?
Dinah next to her also felt that something was wrong, "Allen, is Uncle Locke in a bad state?"
She had seen Locke's strength in the Hot Wind Forest, how could a person who could face the forest bear head-on not be the opponent of a fifth-level swordsman?
"Well, it's true that I'm not in good shape, I guess I'm hungry. ”
“......”
Dinah was a little speechless, and Alan obviously knew the reason, but he didn't want to say it, so he to prevaricate her.
"Don't worry, it's not done yet. ”
On the other side, Oster saw that Locke was knocked out in line with Allen's reaction, smiling and watching everything.
Although she has not been in contact with Alan for a long time, she has suffered losses at his hands, and the calmer this guy is, the more things will happen behind him.
But having said that, Locke's situation on the field was not optimistic, and he was defeated in the battle against Victor and was knocked down repeatedly.
As the saying goes, the more frustrated you are, the more courageous you are, but the reality is that the more defeated you are, the weaker you are.
Locke had no power to fight back against Victor, and although he dodged Victor's fatal sword every time, he slowly got a few more small wounds on his body.
In the eyes of the onlookers, Locke could fall under Victor's sword at any moment.
However, on the other side, Victor played very hard, although he always had the upper hand, but there was a faint feeling that the rhythm was in the hands of the opponent.
Every time he attacked the opponent, he looked panicked, but he was able to dodge the fatal blow at the most critical moment.
Victor really couldn't stand this state anymore, he clenched the heavy sword with both hands, and suddenly his waist was exerted, and he slashed diagonally, and suddenly the long sword in Locke's hand was picked up and flew into the air.
Locke didn't expect Victor's moves to change suddenly, and he was shocked for a while!
In a panic, he glanced in the direction of the long sword, and instantly pounced on Victor like a hungry tiger!
Looking at Locke who pounced on him, Victor snorted coldly and was about to throw him away, but he felt that the opponent's hand was strangling his wrist like a pincer, and the heavy sword was instantly taken off.
At the same time, Victor felt a huge force coming from the other party, instantly pushing him to the ground!
After Victor fell to the ground, Locke's head suddenly tilted to the left, and the long sword fell vertically almost against the right side of his face, stabbing straight into Victor's face!
"Get out of here!"
Victor roared in horror in his heart, and subconsciously imitated Locke's movements and wanted to dodge, but was held down by Locke's left hand!
And Locke's right hand grasped the blade of the long sword the moment the tip of the sword touched Victor, and stabbed it with all his might!
Poof!
The long sword instantly pierced through Victor's eyes and completely pierced his head!
Locke, who had done all this, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and fell aside.
