Act 37: The Sword Fight (II)

The Asterland military swordsmanship is not only the ancestor of the Wendland military swordsmanship, but more importantly, in the Eclipse Moon War decades ago, the Wendland Federation almost completely annexed the Kingdom of Aster, all thanks to the then Princess Eliefils and Bishop Ian Gray to turn the tide, survive the most dangerous period, and reach an agreement with several surrounding countries, which balanced the Wendland Federation and made it retreat.

It was also the only war that the Wendland Federation had experienced in many years that did not end in victory.

So over the years, the relationship between the Wendland Federation and the Kingdom of Astor has been in an extremely awkward state, and the people between the two countries also hate each other.

"In that case, let me show you the strength of my Great Wendland. ”

August's sword flicked, the center of gravity changed, and he was ready to thrust.

However, the moment he pointed his sword at Lawson, an instinctive sense of crisis came over him, causing August to stop.

He looked at Rosen again, but felt a trance.

Rosen's movements obviously did not change at all, and at first glance it was full of flaws, but for some reason, August felt that all his movements were difficult to break through the opponent's defenses, and it was even very likely that he would be caught and killed because of this.

He deduced dozens of offensive ways in his mind, but all of them were resolved by Rosen's posture at this time.

A little sweat oozed from Auguste's forehead.

He had never encountered such an enemy, and the mere release of the first sword made him hesitate.

Lawson, who is full of flaws, now seems to have no flaws at all.

Moreover, the subtle variation in that movement was almost entirely aimed at Auguste's swordsmanship.

In other words, if August can master other completely different swordsmanship freely, then it seems that there is still a certain way to break the game, but August, who can only use Wendland's military swordsmanship and its related derivative swordsmanship, really has no way to start at this time.

For a moment, he even thought that it would be better if he had mastered other swordsmanship.

August moved his body, and his originally sharp movements became cautious, if he was an unruly tiger before, then he was more like a frightened kitten.

Lawson, motionless, stood still.

Above the looming blade, there seemed to contain endless sword intent, although Lawson did not move, but all kinds of changes had been unfolded in perception, making August feel like he was on pins and needles.

In the perceptual world of the two, the two sides have fought each other more than a thousand times, and Auguste, without exception, has lost all of them, the fastest round is only one move, and the longest one is only five moves.

"Is the Astel military swordsmanship really so terrifying?"

Auguste suddenly felt as if he knew the fake Aster, and none of the various moves against Aster's military swordsmanship that he had studied in the past came in handy at this time, and his years of swordsmanship cultivation were useless in front of Rosen.

Although the two stood facing each other, in August's feelings, the other party was like a giant standing up to the sky, and he was smaller than an ant.

In the eyes of others, there is not such a huge gap.

People only think that Lawson looks relaxed and freehand, while August is extremely serious, and although the two of them have not directly exchanged moves, they have at least several games between them, and they are completely unaware of the current predicament that August is in.

Only a few skilled swordsmen could feel the subtle atmosphere between the two.

But they didn't stand within Rosen's sword encirclement, so they sensed all the deviations, and they didn't directly feel Rosen's ever-changing sword intent like August, so they couldn't understand Auguste's current mood.

August was in a dilemma, at this time, he had no confidence in defeating Rosen, and this swordsman was like the embodiment of the image of the sword, which made August fearful.

The offense is undoubtedly a defeat, but admitting defeat is also something that August cannot bear.

If the Wendland Federation loses all its right to speak here, then the empire that has been painstakingly managed for many years is likely to be suppressed under the constraints of the Order Alliance, and even have to sit with those small countries that are not well known, which is unacceptable to the arrogant Wendlanders.

And all this, it will be blamed on August's failure.

He thought a lot, he began to learn swords at the age of seven, he became a teacher at the age of fifteen, set up gambling games in various places to try swordsmanship, traveled all over the country without tasting defeat, and after entering the army, he rose through the ranks, becoming the youngest leader of the Flying Dragon Knights in history, all of which was brought to him by the long sword in his hand.

Defeat here would mean a complete defeat to someone else in August's proudest place, and he couldn't imagine how he would face the nobles of Wendland after that.

While August was hesitating, Rosen suddenly moved.

The sword moved slowly, drawing an arc in mid-air, a movement that everyone could see clearly, and it was flat and straightforward.

But in August's eyes, this slow sword move was inevitable.

On the edge of the sword, the tricks beyond August's cognition changed endlessly, like a surging wave, sweeping him in an instant, although it was just a seemingly ordinary sword, it contained law and reason, making Auguste feel that he could not surpass.

He subconsciously wanted to use the power of the law, but the sword light was so brilliant that August felt that even if he used the law, it would be difficult to defeat the other party.

The long sword flowed, and all the sword intent was condensed to a point, and August raised his hand.

"I throw in the towel. ”

He said.

At the same time, I also understood why Lawson would swing his sword at the last moment.

Because if Rosen does not move, then the strong oppression will cause Auguste to be in a dilemma and be in a state of stalemate, and once Rosen acts, he will actually give Auguste a step down.

The two sides played, August lost, at least now it seems that this is the case, August is not too ugly to lose.

Therefore, after perceiving Rosen's intentions, August also took advantage of the situation and happily admitted defeat.

As a result, the duel between the two swordsmen, who had attracted attention, ended without a single sword from both sides, or even close to each other.

August returned to his seat, he could no longer hear the questioning of those around him, he looked at his hands, and did not expect that the hands that should be the most stable for a swordsman could not stop trembling.
