Winter is coming, the north wind is bitter, and a blizzard is madly ravaging the land of Knight.

As the temperature dropped rapidly, the ground on the north side was frozen for three feet, and after four days of heavy snowfall, the sky finally began to clear in Knight's sky.

It was a cold morning in the north, and Miller put on a thick coat and walked out of the room.

In the courtyard, Cook was pulling his horse to saddle, and Rossabar behind him was chatting happily with several of the guards.

Miller stepped into the snow in the yard and yawned and asked, "Cook, what are you doing early in the morning?" ”

Cook turned his head to look at Miller, continued to bend down to tie the rope of the saddle, and replied without hurrying: "It's not snowing and the sky is clear, and I don't know what the barbarians have been doing lately, so I have to take the guards to patrol the northern crossing." ”

Miller said disdainfully: "What are you tossing, this snow has just stopped, and no matter how stupid the barbarians are, they will not choose to come and attack us on such a day." ”

After Cook finished tying the rope, he got up and replied, "People must not be lazy, sometimes a small negligence can often lead to a big mistake." We have finally settled in the north, and we have to be on guard in everything, and it is always right to be cautious. ”

Hearing Cook say this, Miller smiled happily, and quickly exclaimed: "Yo ho, who did you learn from Cook, why did you become so cautious." ”

Cook sneered and said: "People have to become mature after all, and the memory of the long must be grown in advance, and if you regret it when you make a mistake, then it will be too late." ”

Cook's words were so said that Miller could barely answer, and he was speechless by Cook for a while.

Under Cook's influence, Miller also cheered up, and he immediately turned around and walked back, turning back to Cook as he went, and said, "Okay, then you guys should be careful all the way, I also have to go and inspect the territory to see if the people have any difficulties that we need to solve." ”

Cook laughed, then he got on his horse and ran out of the courtyard with the guards without saying a word.

Under the clear sky after the snow, the land of the northern country is white, and the surrounding scenery is very charming. But Cook didn't want to appreciate it, and the group galloped quickly down the road, and soon they were heading south to the Northland Fortress, running non-stop in the north.

While passing through the Northland Fortress, Montpot saw Cook on patrol, and on a whim, he followed Cook to the North with a team of guards.

The two of them went hand in hand, as if they were competing in horsemanship, and they did not give in to each other and galloped all the way south, making it difficult for the knights behind them to keep up, and gradually they were all left behind.

Snow and sunny days are best for hunting, and in the mountains and forests on the east side of the North Crossing, a barbarian procession walks.

At the head of the group is a young Tubis nobleman, followed by the Imperial Governor Antony, which shows that this young man's identity is extraordinary. After hunting all the way, everyone gained a lot, and the young man was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

The group of Tubis people walked slowly along the ridge to the west, and soon an open mountain pass appeared to them, and the young nobleman asked with interest, "Wow, this mountain pass is so big, what the hell is this place?" ”。

Anthony rode his horse forward, and replied with a heavy expression, "This is the northern crossing to the northern country, this canyon is more than a hundred miles long, and the further north you go, the narrower it becomes, and at the end of this northern crossing is the famous northern fortress. ”

The young nobleman asked Anthony, "Oh, this is the entrance to the north." Why are you so useless, if you hadn't lost the Northland Fortress, I would have gone to the fortress somewhere to play now. ”

Anthony slowly lowered his head after hearing this, and was ashamed not to say a word.

The young nobleman was unimpressed, and he opened his mouth and said, "Let's go, let's go down and have a look." ”

After saying that, he didn't wait for Anthony's consent, and rushed down the hill directly on horseback, so anxious that Anthony hurriedly followed closely behind him with his guards.

The snow scene in the North Pass is particularly charming, the terrain here is like a huge bell mouth, sandwiched between the mountains on both sides of such a huge valley, the majestic momentum against the snow background is particularly spectacular.

The young aristocratic man took the lead and galloped happily into the no-man's land, and the wonderful feeling thrilled him, leaving a long mark of the horse's hoof behind him.

The young nobleman was in high spirits and had gone a little too far, and he even rode his horse into the North Pass, admiring the more charming snow of the canyon in the North Pass along the way.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from the north, startling the young nobleman to stop his horse and look into the distance.

Cook and Mompot rode their horses one after another, and Cook, who was running in front, saw someone appear in front of him, and said in a loud voice, "Mompot, shall we take a prisoner and have fun?" ”

Mompot had already seen the young Tubis nobleman in front of him, and he reminded Cook: "Don't you see a large group of barbarian black knights behind, don't make trouble, the knights haven't followed, let's turn around." ”

Cook said happily: "What are you afraid of, there is nothing to do in this winter, just catch a prisoner and go back to have fun." ”

After saying that, Cook frantically whipped his horses and attacked the nobleman like a swift wind.

The nobleman was so frightened that he immediately turned his horse's head, and desperately cried for help while running for his life: "Captain Anthony, help." ”

Anthony had already heard the hoofs of the incoming horses, and before the aristocratic man could cry for help, he had already begun to ride his horse madly towards him.

The two sworn enemies met again, and the enemies were very red when they saw each other. They are all the rarest knight masters on the mainland, and the fighting spirit that exploded in an instant was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Almost at the same time, Cook and Anthony ran to the young nobleman's side. Cook reached out and stabbed Anthony with a sharp shot, startling Anthony to quickly swing his sword to block. When Anthony drew his sword and slashed at Cook, Cook drew his long sword in his left hand and blocked it, while his right hand swung his spear into the belt of the young nobleman, easily lifting the young nobleman from his horse and throwing it high into the air.

Anthony was shocked, he didn't expect Cook to rush at the nobleman desperately, and when he swung his sword at Cook, Cook leaned back and easily dodged.

When Anthony drew his sword and tried to continue the attack, Montpot, who rode over, fired a flying arrow, which startled Anthony to dodge sideways.

With Montpott's help, Cook reached out his hands and caught the young nobleman falling from mid-air, and then pressed him the horse.

Anthony was furious, he stretched out his hand and waved his sword at Cook and scolded angrily: "Shameless, you are still looking for a helper, if you have the ability, you will duel with me, whoever runs is a bad seed." ”

After hearing this, Cook looked at Anthony coldly, and without hesitation, he reached out and twisted the nobleman and threw it directly at Mompot. The nobleman had been tossed around, and he had already been dizzy, and he was once again taken into the hands of Montpott, like a plaything.

Mompot stretched out his hand and threw the nobleman on horseback, no matter how much the nobleman resisted, he was still held down by Mompott's backhand, and he couldn't move in pain. Mompot looked back at the guards who followed behind him, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he smiled at Cook and said, "Cook, this guy bullied you three years ago, and chased you badly enough. Today, you will let him see how powerful you are, and see how arrogant he is. ”

Cook replied happily: "Okay, I'll have a good time with him today, otherwise I'll think I'm afraid of him." ”

With that, Cook crossed his spear and rode his horse towards Anthony. In an instant, the spear across Cook's waist suddenly turned into countless shadows, sweeping towards Anthony like a raging wind.

With a few bangs, the two horses staggered with each other, and the duel reached its climax in an instant.

The movements of the two of them were amazingly fast, and they couldn't tell whose gun it was, and whose sword it was, but they could only see two black shadows constantly fighting, so startled that the horse kept looking up and neighing.

The people are still the same two people, but they have completely changed their appearance in three years.

Today, Cook is eighteen years old, and his thick arms are even admired by Robit, not to mention that Cook is the highest masterpiece of the royal capital instructor Fawkes. In terms of marksmanship, it can be said that Cook's masterpiece is the highest level of Knight's marksmanship, and even his father Fox himself may not be his opponent. In terms of stature, although Anthony is very tall, Cook is not inferior in front of him at all. In terms of arm strength, the two weapons collided for countless rounds, and there was no trace of Cook's retreat. In terms of courage, Cook is now calm and calm, and he is no longer the reckless teenager who ran around.

As the duel continued, the snow under the two kept splashing, as if there was an aura surrounding them, and the two were inseparable for a while.

Rosabal on the side was shocked, and he turned his head sideways and asked Montpott, "Lord Mompott, our head will not be in danger, right?" ”

Montpot sneered and said, "Dangerous? When have we never been in danger as knights, and we are afraid of death, we still come to be knights. In this situation, Anthony has not taken any advantage, and you should have confidence in your commander. ”

"Let go of me, you lowly Knight, let me go." , The young nobleman who was pressed in front of him kept scolding like this.

Rossabal was annoyed by this, and he rode his horse close to Mompot, and waved his hand at the back of the nobleman's neck, knocking him directly on the horseback. Rossabar then reached out and lifted the nobleman onto his horse, continuing to accompany Montpot to watch the wonderful duel before him.

The Black Knight of Tobis on the opposite side had already arrived, and they stood stunned, watching Anthony's duel in amazement, and everyone was amazed by this magical Cook.

Anthony is the best commander among the young people of the Tubis Empire, his swordsmanship is no less than that of Utores, the pillar of the imperial army, and there are very few people on this continent who can fight Anthony with more than fifty moves, but this Cook in front of him is an unfathomable Knight master.

There was no pressure on Cook, who had fought Anthony's instructor Utores for more than 100 rounds without a win, and now he was confident that he could defeat Utores' apprentice to avenge the bloody revenge he had hunted down three years earlier.

The two young regiment commanders seemed to have inexhaustible physical strength, and the speed of their shots was several times faster than that of ordinary people. In a flash of effort, the two quickly completed a hundred rounds of fighting, but neither of them had any intention of stopping.

Cook felt that a hundred rounds to test his strength was enough, so he began to pour out his arm strength, slowing down his attack slightly, and striking with all his might, shot at a time. As the spear slammed into the sword in Anthony's hand, Anthony felt a faint soreness and numbness in his right hand holding the sword, and he was shocked by the powerful arm force that Cook burst out.

Anthony didn't understand why this Cook's strength had increased so quickly, and just as he was puzzled by this, his movements slowed down by a third of a second. In those three-third of seconds, Cook's spear shook past his longsword and aimed the glittering tip directly at Anthony's neck.

As a master of the empire, this kind of negligence is very fatal to him. Seeing that the spear was about to pierce his neck, Anthony took a big breath and dodged to the side as fast as he could, and finally barely dodged the blow.

However, Anthony knows that once he slows down the pace in the confrontation during the master duel, he will fall behind the opponent in every move, so that he will be completely suppressed by the opponent, and his life may be in danger at any time. However, when Anthony came back to his senses, Cook on the other side had already withdrawn his spear and quietly stayed in place and sneered at Anthony.

Anthony, who had never lost a duel, saw Cook's mocking smile, which was simply an insult to him. He never imagined that three years ago, he was still chasing and killing this young man, but today he was defeated by him here, and he let himself go in a knightly way.

Anthony looked at Cook in surprise, he seemed to have difficulty accepting his defeat, it was like a nightmare, everything was so unreal.

Under Anthony's blank gaze, Cook turned his horse's head and walked away with the nobleman and the knights of Knight, taking all of Anthony's honor and self-esteem with him.
