Section 119 The duel between the masters of the Dragon City counterattack
When Robit kills the two Tubis Knights, Anthony and the other Tubis think it's just a fluke and that his true strength isn't very good. Jeffrey is the head of the empire, and his broadsword has terrified countless people, but Robit also slashes him to the ground with incredible speed, and Anthony realizes that he has been fooled.
As the supreme commander of the army, Anthony knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he was the first to initiate this duel, and for the sake of the empire, Prince Vacas and Fiona, he had to redeem his current disadvantage no matter what.
Anthony twitched the muscles of his face, he bit his cheek, leveled the spear in his hand, and gently rode forward.
Seeing that Anthony finally appeared, Robit pretended to ask, "Is it Anthony, the head of the empire?" ”
Anthony squinted his eyes and looked Robit up and down in front of him, his expression very puzzled. Two years ago, he met Cook, the son of Fox Earl of the Royal Capital, in the Dragon City River, who was a young man with extraordinary agility and skills, but now this person seems to be different from that Cook Look, who is this person? Could it be that there are other masters in their Dragon City?
Thinking of this, Anthony politely asked, "Yes, I am Anthony, dare to ask Your Excellency's name." ”
Robit smiled as he swirled his spear, which flashed in a circle in midair, and then Robit pointed it to the ground with his right hand, the top half of which was close to his back. This is a standard preparatory move in Knight's gun technique, and this posture is to prepare for a fight and be on guard against danger, but it can also be used to move quickly immediately.
I only heard Robit say loudly to Anthony: "I am Robit, the son of Connor of the First Duke's Palace, and the grievances between me and you must be settled sooner or later." But not today, today I'm going to leave this opportunity to my good brother Cook. ”
Robit glared at Anthony angrily, then turned his horse's head and returned to the Knights' line with his spear.
Robit, the name gave Anthony a lot of shock. He thought that the murderer who killed his prince had been killed more than ten years ago, but he didn't expect him to magically appear in Dragon City and come to Reesburg to fight with the Dragon City army. Anthony regretted that he didn't go into battle right away, and let Captain Jeffrey and the two knight captains die in vain at his hands.
Robit's appearance undoubtedly surprised Anthony, and with the excellent young knight Cook also on the team, he had to revisit the duel. Anthony naturally understood that young Cook had grown up, and that Cook was not as easy to deal with as he was two years ago, and he didn't intend to get entangled with these hateful Knight here.
Soon Anthony had a new plan, and he said to the Nate on the other side: "Let's not waste time, I'm not interested in dueling with your Cook, let's just go straight." I am the commander-in-chief of the defenders of Rysburg in our empire, so let's have a fair duel, and let your commander-in-chief fight me, and the duel between the two of us will determine the outcome of this battle. ”
Anthony's purpose is very simple, you Robit and Cook are not ordinary people, but you will never have the number three in your army. If he can provoke the commander-in-chief of the other party to come out and fight with him alone, Anthony is absolutely confident that he will kill the commander-in-chief of the opponent in order to save a game for the honor of the empire.
For Anthony's invitation to a duel, which surprised Robit and Cook, it was clear that Anthony was bullying Duke Caldis into not daring to duel him.
Cook raised the spear in his hand angrily and said indignantly: "Cousin, this Anthony is really hateful, don't fall for him, let me deal with him." ”
Although Caldis has defeated several warriors of the Tubis Empire in Reesburg, and his strength is not insignificant, in the face of a powerful character like Anthony, Cook worries that his only relative, Caldis, will have an accident. Cook had had played against him before, and he felt that it was safer for him to play with this Anthony, and he didn't want to let the form take such unnecessary risks.
But Caldis grabbed his spear and rode his horse and said, "Since Anthony has invited me to fight a duel, I naturally have to accept the challenge. If I don't fight him, our Knight knights will feel disgraced, and they will think that I am an incompetent person who is afraid of death. ”
Cook anxiously rode his horse to follow, and he walked away and said, "Cousin, this Anthony is really powerful, he deliberately lured you into battle, but you can't fall into his trap, cousin." ”
Caldis replied, "Traps or traps, everything will wait until I am done with him."
After saying that, Caldis held the boasted maroon war horse between his legs, and walked towards Anthony without looking back.
Faced with this unfamiliar commander of Knight, Anthony seemed a little puzzled, and he didn't know what the other party was.
Anthony looked Caldis up and down, and he guessed in his mind about the dark-skinned commander. Anthony felt that Knight had a common problem, that is, many high-ranking commanders came from noble families and relied on the power of their families to sit in the position of commander of the army.
Thinking of this, Antony smiled slightly, and then asked Caldis seriously: "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”
Caldis replied expressionlessly, "I am Caldis, the son of William, the hero of Fengdu. ”
"William?" , the name Anthony seemed familiar, but at once he couldn't remember who it was.
"Yes!" Seeing that Anthony didn't know his father very well, Caldis added: "It is Captain William who led the Fengdu Holy Knights not long ago and came directly to the royal plain to fight with your Prince Wakas." ”
Anthony suddenly realized, "Oh, so you are his son. After figuring out his identity, Anthony was faintly surprised, he didn't expect that William to have such a big son, and he didn't know how this person compared to his father.
Anthony was not in a hurry to make a move, he wanted to know more about this Caldis, so he looked at Caldis and said, "You have a very pleasant complexion, just like our Empire." I think you should also have some skills, why don't you bring your people to serve my Tubis Empire, why do you have to come here to fight against our empire, you are equivalent to sending death, you know? ”
Caldis sneered: "Send to death? I really hadn't thought about that. You don't have to bother with words, I still have an identity I forgot to tell you. Do you think it is possible that I will surrender to you when I was a slave to you barbarians, in Reesburg, in front of your Imperial Commander Utorres, and since then I have sworn to kill all you evil invaders? ”
"What?" Anthony was surprised and said, "You're that damn slave Haba?" So you're a Knight? ”
Caldis picked up his spear and said loudly as he rode his horse: "Don't talk nonsense, look at the gun!" ”
As soon as the words were finished, the spear of Caldis, with the sound of whirring wind, quickly stabbed at Antony.
I had a good conversation just now, but I didn't expect this guy to fight when he said he would fight, so Anthony had to hurriedly pick up his gun to block.
But when the two spears collided, Anthony's hands felt a little heavy, and the strong impact force of the opponent forced the horse under him to retreat again and again, and the horse's mouth kept panting.
However, Anthony is not a vegetarian, and he has faced countless strong opponents from Toopis to Knight, but he has not yet been defeated. Anthony then shook his right arm and stabbed Caldis three times with a single shot.
The strength of this blow was so powerful that Caldis hurriedly leaned over the horse's neck to dodge, and swung his spear in his right hand to take turns on his back.
With three bangs, Caldis barely managed to cope with Anthony's counterattack. Just as he was about to get up, a cold light appeared in front of Caldis, and Anthony launched a new round of attack quickly, far faster than Caldis expected.
Caldis had been in the Toppis Arena for ten years, and he had seen all kinds of powerful characters, but it was the first time he had encountered a top-notch Tobis master like Anthony. It seems that there are many people in the land of Tubisi, and there are countless masters on the grassland, which is a little different from the situation in the gladiatorial arena.
Caldis realized the difference between a battlefield and a gladiatorial arena, and that everything had to be revalued in the face of the regular army of Toppis, and that a careless mistake could cost him his own life. But the slave life in the gladiatorial arena in the past ten years has long honed his tenacious character, and this scene of life and death struggle seems similar to him.
When Caldis attacked again, the situation became very different, the spear attacked Anthony like an unstoppable stream of water, and several times Anthony saw the flaw and wanted to shoot Caldis with one blow, but Caldis's crazy offensive completely left Anthony unable to make a move.
Caldis was taken captive as a slave at a young age, and all his skills were discovered in the arena in order to survive. He is not as well-trained as other knights, and there is no pattern to his shots, and every move is always unexpected, but his movements and postures seem so fluid.
Anthony obviously didn't understand what kind of marksmanship this was, it was very different from the Knight marksmanship he knew, Caldis didn't follow the routine at all, and the whole person was fighting for his life as if he was crazy, and even Robit and Cook, who were standing on the side, sweated for Caldis.
The tenacious Caldis didn't seem to be as weak as he seemed, and in the ensuing fight, no matter how Anthony fought back, Caldis seemed to be able to skillfully dodge and shoot back every time. This Caldis's pace is completely contrary to what the knight training camp teaches, but Caldis still steps steadily, although the posture is not as elegant as the regular knight's walking, but it is also as fast as a flowing cloud.
Anthony was so annoyed by the long and uncontested duel that he had already lost his patience and began to attack Caldis with all his might. However, Caldis seems to have a lot of resilience, and the tribe is still a little bit inferior when you attack and defend me.
The rain began to grow heavier, and the two fought from their horses to the ground, and finally Anthony switched from spear to sword, and the two fought in the rain without distinguishing between you and me, but after more than a hundred rounds, they still did not win or lose.
In the duel of more than an hour, Cook had already understood that Caldis was extraordinary, and he felt that all those previous worries were superfluous, because he thought that this Anthony would definitely not be able to win against his cousin. Cook was in a good mood, he was proud of his cousin's marksmanship, and Caldis never seemed to disappoint him.
Even though Anthony switched to his best sword, he couldn't defeat Caldis as he hoped, and the formidable opponent in front of him seemed invulnerable. The spear was in Caldis's hands, and with his strong arm strength and the length of his weapon, he in turn knocked Anthony back.
When Caldis slammed a shot into the ground in front of Anthony, Anthony, who was jumping to the side, broke out in a cold sweat. He stretched out his hand to wipe the rain on his face, and said to Caldis breathlessly: "Okay, you Caldis, you really have two boys, no wonder you can become the commander-in-chief of the army." If we continue to fight, we will not be able to distinguish the winner from the loser, and today's duel will end here, and we will see you tomorrow. ”
After saying that, Anthony couldn't wait to turn around and step on his horse, and command the army of Tubis to withdraw into the city in an orderly manner.
Caldis did not rush into attack, it was difficult to resist the arrows of the defenders on the walls of the city in such a rush, and Antony's army retreated in an orderly manner and was always on guard. In the end, Caldis had no choice but to order the army to retreat a few miles back to camp in the woods and rest, waiting to come back the next day.
