Chapter 383: Counterattack
Because of her hurry, Mary Fitzroy did not call her maids, Amy and Kelly, to follow her, and besides, Amy could not ride a horse. Therefore, Mary took the two quasi-lancer guards as servants.
"Knight, ask the sergeant, where is Her Excellency Isabel Walton, Privy Counsellor of the Duke's Palace?" Mary disdained to speak to a farmer-turned-sergeant, squinting at the two cavalry guards standing beside her, torches in hand.
"Yes, ma'am." After respectfully agreeing, the guard turned his gaze to the sergeant guarding the door: "Hey, do you know where His Excellency the Advisor is?" ”
"Yes, my lordship, I saw Your Excellency go to His Excellency's chamber."
"Where's Your Excellency's room?"
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency's chamber is right in front, so you can keep going."
Wei Cong then nodded to Mary. Mary commanded, "Go to the magistrate's room." ”
The three of them left the vicinity of the gate and walked to the middle of the courtyard when they suddenly heard a loud cheer coming from the east side of the courtroom courtyard. Mary quickly stopped and looked east, "What's going on?" Knight, how can there be fire in the sky over there? ”
The sky-high flames and the applause that burst out from the scene, the two guards immediately understood what was going on. One of the guards hurriedly reported to Mary, "Madam, if I am not mistaken, there is a knightly joust or duel going on here. ”
"Duel?" Mary immediately recalled what Isabel had said to her before leaving: "Your Excellency Judge is in some trouble and needs me to solve it for him. ”
Mary nodded subconsciously, "Knight, let's go there." ”
Just as the Duchess was reprimanding the disgusting gatekeeper, a judicial duel had begun on the grounds of the security army. The young thief Ander Ruff clutched a one-handed six-bladed hammer made of all-steel in his right hand and ran to his opponent without saying a word.
Hopefully, he can use the young man's stamina, stamina, and armor-piercing hammer to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent. Raising his right hand, he picked up the all-steel warhammer and slammed it down on the opponent's head.
The all-steel six-bladed hammer that Ender picked up in the security army's armory was a strengthened war hammer. The top of the hammer is equipped with a raised top cap, which is used to fix the hammer head and has the combat effect of poking. The hammer bar is equipped with an iron bracelet on top of the hand near the hand, in order to prevent the enemy's sword from harming the hammer hand along the hammer shaft.
And the iron bottom upsetting installed at the bottom of the hammer bar can not only prevent the war hammer from slipping out of the hand, but also play the role of backhand smashing. There are also six obtuse triangular blades with a curved arc of the hammer head, a spike set at the striking point in the center of each blade, and a hollow in the center of the blade to reduce weight and increase strength. One can imagine what a tragic scene it would be if such an armor-piercing weapon smashed into Isabelle's head.
Isabel watched Ender rush towards her, her expression naturally motionless, and the tips of the two short swords in her hand were always pointing to the ground. In the blink of an eye, she quickly moved a step to the left as Ender, who had rushed in front of her, raised her hammer and launched a fierce attack from above. Then, while the opponent was smashing downward, he raised the tip of his right short sword and launched a stabbing counterattack, stabbing the tip of the sword into the opponent's unprotected chest......
Everyone, including Sir William, can see the fact that Isabelle's "deception" can kill the opponent almost instantly. However, the next scene led some people to think that she was enjoying the pleasure of hunting.
When Duchess Mary arrived outside the dueling arena with two guards, they could no longer stand in front of the crowd of onlookers. Mary was reluctant to stand crowded with so many men, and even less would have agreed to allow so many men to touch her dress easily.
He had no choice but to stand behind the crowd and command one of the guards: "Knight, go inside and see what is going on." ”
As he pushed through the crowd to the front, he was shocked to find that the duchess was looking for a duel in the arena. He watched as Isabel jerked back the tip of the dagger that had stabbed him in the chest, and then used the other blade with the unjagged other blade to launch a dragging attack on the opponent's right hand holding the bell.
The so-called drag attack refers to when the blade of the sword touches the opponent's unprotected parts, such as the hand, pulling or pushing the sword and adding the force of the downward cut. This attack method is mainly used when there is not enough space to slash at full speed.
"Ah...... Bang Dang! "The two sounds coming from the scene of the duel indicate that one of the sounds is a human and the other is a metal object.
It turned out that after Isabel launched a drag and cut attack on Ender's right hand, Ender's right hand was severely cut by the sharp blade, and the six-leaf hammer he was holding also fell on the hard ground of the school field.
"Hahaha......" A burst of laughter ensued, and the cavalry or sergeants of the security army who made the laughter were very amused by Ender's embarrassment.
"It's funny, it seems that Your Excellency doesn't want to kill this idiot with a sword, and wants to play with him." As he stood on the sidelines and laughed secretly, he spotted Magistrate Sir William.
"Your Excellency, the Duchess is looking for Your Excellency the Counsellor." The guard rounded a few cavalrymen and came to Sir William's side and saluted.
Sir William looked sideways at him, "The Duchess is here?" Where is Madame now? ”
"Right outside the dueling arena."
"Take me to the Duchess."
Mary and another guard with torches were waiting anxiously when they saw two men approaching her. One was the Wei Cong she had sent out earlier, and the other was a middle-aged man walking behind Wei Cong, but she didn't know him.
"Good day, Duchess." Sir William hurriedly saluted Mary.
"You are..."Before Mary finished speaking, Wei Cong hurriedly introduced: "Madam, this is the county magistrate William?" Sir Frederick. ”
"Your Excellency, it is an honor to meet you." Lady Mary said politely.
"Madame, you have come to your Excellency the Privy Counsellor?"
"Yes, Your Excellency said that you are in some trouble, and Your Excellency will take care of the trouble for you."
Sir William was a little confused, "Madam, Your Excellency is engaged in a judicial duel. After the duel, you will be able to meet Your Excellency. ”
When Isabel offered to be her father's dueling agent, Sir William feared that she would die in the dueling arena. However, when he saw Isabel's performance in the dueling ring, he put that fear behind him.
"Duel??" Shocked, Mary lifted the corners of her skirt, lifted her legs, and walked towards the crowd of onlookers.
