Chapter 4: The Juban War
The Juban War, which can decide the ownership of the throne, naturally cannot be an ordinary Juban War. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After careful deliberation between the White Bread family and the Black Pepper family, the method of fighting one battle a day was adopted, so that the participants on both sides had enough time to adjust, play their best, and ensure fairness as much as possible.
However, in the eyes of the Minotaur, no matter how many games a day is played, there is only one result, which is to chop the opponent to pieces one by one. If it weren't for some restrictions attached to this juban battle, what could have been done in one morning would have been delayed until the end of ten days.
The companions of the mercenary group were also firmly convinced that the minotaur could win all, and the half-elf rolled his eyes and simply ran out to start a gamble. Since there is never suspense about chopping and chopping into battle, the mercenary group has not gambled on his battle for several years, and this time it is rare to be in the company of a group of white bread soldiers who do not know the glorious achievements of the Minotaurs, so it is natural to slaughter a batch of more fat sheep ruthlessly.
"Captain, when you go into battle tomorrow to cut people, you can bring this shield."
"Yiyi, why is this broken shield still there, and you haven't exchanged it for bread yet?"
"Well, we have now joined the white bread family, and we have sweet and fragrant bread to eat every day, so we don't need to sell it in such a hurry. Captain, this thing can also be somewhat defensive, so you can use it first. ”
"Well, when did you become so kind and start caring about the safety of the Sprinkle family?"
"Because I bet all my possessions on you, and you won...... Oh, actually, I've always cared about you, Captain. ”
"Get out of here!"
It was a fine day, and it was the perfect time for a chivalrous juban fight. Not only did the horses of the two families of White Bread and Black Pepper gather, but the people of the Great Barrel City, as well as some lords from the short road, also came to watch the battle. It is said that in order to witness this great battle, many people from afar set foot on the road to the capital.
Olipas' face was flushed with excitement, and he didn't say anything about pulling people around his army to place bets, and he also hit the surrounding audience with his idea, and at the sound of an order, many soldiers of the former infantry regiment were mobilized and went around to open the betting board. If it weren't for Viscount Bambu watching the half-elf, I'm afraid he would have rushed to the Black Pepper Army to solicit business by this time.
"Vice Captain, isn't it too risky for you to open the odds on the Black Pepper side to fifty to one? I know how powerful the captain is, but if he loses, we won't be able to afford to sell pants for the next hundred lifetimes. ”
"You know a fart, if you don't open such high odds, how can people bet on black pepper? After today's fight, no fool will come to gamble again, and there will be no more shops in this village. The half-elf rolled his eyes as he looked at the knight who was about to go out on the other side, "In my eyes, he is already a dead man. ”
For the first time, the soldiers and civilians of the Vegan Dynasty saw the duel between infantry and knights in the Juban War, and it was the first time they saw the terrifying power of the Minotaurs. They watched as one of Black Pepper's heavily armored knights took the initiative to attack, watched as he accelerated down from a small mound that was neither tall nor short, watched as he clenched a heavy spear and stabbed the minotaur into the upper body, and watched as the minotaur casually slammed his double-sided axe to his chest; watched as the heavily armored knight seemed to crash into a thick wall, and the spear snapped and then fell off his horse by the force of the recoil; watched as the minotaur stepped forward and split him in half......
"That, that," the audience was silent for a long time before someone stammered, "He's already lost when he falls, so he doesn't have to put such a heavy hand, right?" ”
"If you have the courage to go to the battlefield, don't be afraid of death, these wastes can still get out in front of the Sprinkle family, wouldn't it ruin the name of the Sprinkle family?" The minotaur shouted, "If you want to survive, admit defeat to the Sprinkle family before you start fighting." ”
Duke Black Pepper's face turned pale, and without saying a word, he withdrew to the city with his troops.
Naturally, the white bread procession was jubilant.
In the next day's Shiban battle, another lightly armored knight from the Black Pepper Army came out, carrying a huge pedal crossbow, came and cut and cut about fifty paces outside his body, dismounted, used all his strength to pull the crossbow string, and after shooting an arrow at him from a distance, he immediately turned over and mounted his horse, and ran towards his own formation without looking back.
The minotaur roared in rage, and the two-sided axe flew out of his hand, first shattering the great arrow in the air, and then catching up with the fleeing knight, slashing him through the chest and cutting him in two. The warhorse, loyal to his duty, still ran with the lower half of his master's horse, and blood was spilled all the way along the footsteps of the horse's hooves.
The white bread side was jubilant again, and all of them were beaming with joy on their faces, as if they had become the masters of the big barrel city.
On the third day of the Juban battle, the knight who came out of the black pepper battle hesitated for a moment, then turned to the head of the house and pleaded, "Your Excellency, although I have the reputation of knightly bravery, but after all, I am only a person, for non-human monsters, going up can only be sent to death, I ask to abstain." ”
Duke Black Pepper glared for a while, "If you don't fight, I'll cut off your title now." ”
"Even if you go home and farm now, it's better than dying immediately." The knight simply threw his helmet to the ground, "I still have a wife and children, why are you sending them to death for no reason?" ”
"Your Excellency Black Pepper!" The Duke of White Bread shouted with a smile, "Does anyone below you dare to go into battle?" It's okay to just throw in the towel. ”
"You hard and rancid bread," Duke Black Pepper was furious, "we said that we would play one game a day, even if we abstained, once a day, what are you anxious about?" ”
"Dead duck is still hard-mouthed," Duke Whitebread sank his face, "well, I'll let you abstain once a day, and on the tenth day, see what else you have to say." ”
On the fourth day, Black Pepper abstained; On the fifth day, the black pepper side abstained; On the sixth day, the Black Pepper side abstained......
In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the Juban War, and more and more people from all over the country gathered, and the audience who arrived later only saw that the knights of Black Pepper had been abstaining and abstaining in the past few days, first they couldn't figure their minds, and when they inquired and understood, they beat their chests and regretted that they couldn't witness the heroic performance of the Minotaurs.
"Today is the tenth day, is there anyone on your side who is ready to fight?" The Duke of White Bread felt that he was knowingly asking, he had put on his most splendid gown, and was waiting for the celebration to take place when he entered the city.
"Don't get too complacent, White Bread," Duke Black Pepper replied viciously, "I tell you, the Juban War will only begin now!" ”
"Oh, which of your knights came out to die?" The Duke of White Bread secretly laughed at the other party's false intimidation, and with such exaggerated power as slashing and slashing, even a giant dragon may not be his opponent. ”
A figure walked out of the Black Pepper Army, wearing a silver mask on his face, and he couldn't see his true face clearly. There was immediately a loud laugh from the other side, because this one was not only not a knight, but also thin, not much taller than the half-elf Auripas, in the eyes of everyone, what could he do?
"Your Excellency Black Pepper, this is your last general?" Duke White Bread struggled to hold back his laughter, "Didn't you use him to make up for it because all the knights under your command had escaped?" ”
"Infantry against infantry, this is called fairness, don't take advantage of you." Duke Black Pepper ignored the other party's ridicule, "Your Excellency, listen well, this is the legendary great man, the Sword Saint Tien. ”
The existence of the world beyond ordinary things is usually referred to as "legendary". The legendary weapon refers to the divine weapon that surpasses all ordinary weapons, the legendary wealth refers to the treasure that surpasses all the rich emperors, and the legendary characters refer to those supermen who can fly to the sky and the earth, calling the wind and rain.
Although since ancient times, there have been data collectors who are keen to sort out various rankings, but the legendary things do not belong to the realm of the world, people only know that they are very good things, but to what extent, no one can describe them clearly, so all rankings do not evaluate these unfathomable things. If someone's name is "the strongest warrior in the mainland", then he will never be a legendary figure, and if there is a famous horse that is "the fastest horse in the mainland", then it will never be a legendary horse.
Sword Saint Tien, a legendary figure who has left a name on the Lunan Continent, no one has ever seen his move, only that he likes to hunt giant beasts, and in the place where he lives, there is a group of dragon lich servants who obey his command.
"Your Excellency Black Pepper, you let outsiders participate in the battle for the throne of the vegetarian dynasty, which is not in line with the practice of the past dynasties." The Duke of White Bread was calm and quickly caught a flaw in the other party.
"Each other, Lord White Bread," Duke Black Pepper replied coldly, "You can recruit the head of the kerosene lamp as your brother-in-law, or I can worship under the door of Lord Swordmaster, Mr. Tyne is the mentor of my Black Pepper family, is there any problem?" ”
"What are you afraid of, is there anything to be afraid of the legendary characters? I think our captain is legendary enough, have you seen the limit of his strength over the years, have you ever seen him lose a battle? Finding that his expression darkened with the appearance of the Juggernaut, the half-elf hurriedly cheered for the minotaur.
However, his words did not encourage the confidence of many people, even if the power of slashing and slashing is almost terrifying in the legend, he has an overwhelming advantage in the face of ordinary fighters. But as the legendary sword master, Tine must also have a very lethal trick, not to mention that at a glance Tyrn knows that he belongs to the agile and fast type, and the Minotaur does not exceed the outstanding performance of ordinary people in terms of speed, it is obviously difficult to capture the other party's legendary body when he moves, and he can only fall into a situation of passive beating.
"This half-elf kid, since you are so confident, why don't you open another bet, and everyone will bet at one to one to see who wins." The gamblers who lost big on the first day saw that they had another chance, so they thought about pulling money from Olipas.
"Open it!" The half-elf gritted his teeth and agreed, and in the blink of an eye, several times the total amount of the first day's bet was already piled up in front of him, and the amount of the bet on the Minotaur and the Juggernaut was roughly one to five.
"Commander, our captain will definitely win, don't you say?" The half-elf looked at Bambo pitifully, hoping that he would give him a little hope.
"Well, I can't tell who wins or loses." Bambo shook his head, and carefully observed and chopped and chopped, only to see the minotaur holding a heavy double-sided axe in his arms, and a pair of small eyes rolled around uncontrollably, swaying back and forth with the left hand of the sword master opposite, as if he had been taken away by something.
"Not good!" Bambu suddenly remembered something and yelled badly. The half-elf hurriedly asked, "Captain, what's wrong?" ”
"The other party's equipment is too good."
"Does he still have the legendary artifact in his hands?" The half-elf's face was as gray as a moldy wall, "I asked the captain to bring an anti-dragon shield a long time ago, but he refused, what should I do now?" ”
"Not like an artifact, but it's not much worse." The head of the kerosene lamp sighed, "If I'm not mistaken, Tyne is wearing the legendary three treasures of bullfighting: red cloth, a long sword, and white gloves. ”
