Chapter 11: The Thunder of Spring (5)

While Gregory IV was talking to General William, Esher had been cornered into the corner of the field, struggling to cope with the Setanda offensive. But Essho had no intention of admitting defeat, and he silently endured the blow of the spear shaft, patiently waiting for the opportunity to fight back. And Setanda, who already has the upper hand, will not be able to decide the winner for a while - if it is easy to distinguish life and death, he can very neatly stab Eshy in the heart, and at the same time, he will be severely injured by Estheu, then this duel will lose its original meaning. Both men knew that only one of them would throw in the towel or lose consciousness, with Esher rejecting the former, and Setanda having difficulty achieving the latter without inflicting heavy damage on Estheu. Of course, Setanda could continue to suppress Esthe, and he could wait until Eshua was exhausted before winning with one blow, but how long would he have to delay here? He has an advantage in physical strength, but how much is that advantage? His opponent had been battling with General William for nearly twenty minutes and still showing no signs of fatigue, and if he had resorted to attrition tactics, Setanda would have to waste a whole morning in this corner. While the Arena Owner was in a hurry to send men to the palace, he and General Wilhelm were arguing over the defense of the western line in front of the snow. Although the barbarians of the Misty Mountains have been driven back to the mountains, the Pirates of Van Skerry have begun to land on a large scale, and under the deliberate guidance of Fieldsway, many of the villagers who have settled on the border of Livingston have lost their skulls, and it is not known how many of the murderers are pirates and how many of them are Fieldsway's regular army - or if there is no essential difference between the two at all. Livingston, who had only experienced the Great War, did not have enough men to form a patrol, and the mercenaries knew that the muddy waters of the border were not as comfortable as the bandits on the Orook Peninsula. Setanda wanted to retaliate by sending troops to harass Fieldsway's borders, and also let the pirates take the blame; However, General William was firmly opposed, believing that the villagers should be escorted to Longwei Fort for safekeeping, and the troops should be stationed in the village as a temporary stronghold. The two insisted on their own words, neither of them could convince the other, and the tight military resources could not implement the ideas of the two at the same time, so the final decision fell to Gregory IV, and then the three were notified that there was a macho man in the arena who had passed eight levels in a row.

Setanda knew that Esher just looked like he was suppressed very badly, but he still had the strength to fight back, but he didn't find the right time, and he also wanted to fight quickly, so he hurried back to the snow pan and continued to argue with General William, so he simply took two steps back, reined in the offensive, and sold a flaw generously, and it was also an extremely dangerous flaw for him, once it was handled improperly, then it would be Estheu's turn to suppress him, but Setanda had absolute confidence to suppress Estheu's counterattack. The opponent is obviously good at hand-to-hand grappling, but as long as Setanda holds the initiative of distance control, he can beat him with a spear without hesitation.

As soon as Setanda pulled away, Esthe's back bounced off the walls of the arena and lunged straight at him, with a swift and fierce momentum, and the previous decline was swept away. Setanda raised her left arm in a moment's time, and threw a spear in Eshy's face, while the other spear pulled away from Essiu's probing palm one after another. He didn't expect to be able to stun Eishu this time, and just about to launch the attack, he found that the spear in his left hand seemed to stick to the opponent's face after pulling it over, and he couldn't immediately withdraw it for a while—it was Aexiu who bit the tip of the spear with his mouth!

Oops! Setanda turned the hilt of the spear so hard that he could feel the gums of the other man vibrating and twisting, but those teeth finally waited for the hands that came to relay before they fell out. Still, what Setanda had been trying to avoid came to pass—Eshy gripped the shaft of the spear, locking the distance between the two. Setanda didn't want to let go, he didn't have time to test the depth of Esthe's prowess at the spear. He raised his right hand and stabbed Eshu in the eye, but Eshu only gripped the spear tightly, then shook his arms violently and forcibly pulled Setanda around. The spear fell into the air. Setanda's anger also came up, and when he saw the space of Estheu's strength, he flipped his wrist, and the spear briefly broke out of control between Estheu's fingers, but instead of pulling away immediately, he stabbed violently and stabbed straight into Essho's right shoulder! Esso's response was just as tough, and in order to get closer, he forcibly pressed his spear deeper into his body! It was too late for Setanda to let go at this time, Eshu finally finished the fit, his right hand had already been raised in advance, the five fingers were clenched tightly, and the surging force squeezed the bone joints "creaked", Setanda reflexively set up the spear, but Estheu's fist just shook in front of him, and in an instant, those fingers opened into claws, and swooped straight down to his crotch!

Setanda was shocked and angry, he didn't expect Esher to adopt such a devastating life-changing play. When he pulled it down, Eshy's chest was completely unguarded, and Setanda could have used a spear to pierce Essho's heart, but at the same time, his descendants would also be severely beaten by Eshu. Setanda had no choice but to let go of his hand, slightly embarrassed to dodge, Eshu expressionlessly pulled out the spear in his body, and began to suppress Setanda, and even in the connection of the attack, he would deliberately pick open the wound on his right shoulder, deliberately squeezing out a column of blood to interfere with Setanda's vision. The spectators in the stands were stunned, the arena was not without the indiscriminate street tricks, but no one had ever used it as fiercely as Essho as if he were struggling, and the vigorous and wild desire to win could be felt by everyone.

Setanda didn't want to fight any more, and Estenda dragged this duel to the abyss of life and death without any bottom line. Like Setanda's previous situation, Esher could only maintain suppression and could not distinguish the winner from defeat, and even if he delayed, he risked being attacked by Setanda. And conceding defeat is not in Sertanda's options - the Arena's ten-game winning streak is supported by the Gregory family, otherwise the Arena Owner would not be able to invite the Iron Guards who defended Raven City to defend it, and most of the income from both tickets and gambling games will go to the royal family's treasury, and of course the prize money will also be paid from it, once Setanda admits defeat, then Eshyu, who won ten consecutive battles, will immediately take away 256,000 dinars - this money will hurt even if Duke Alaric comes out.

"Your Majesty, if you continue to fight like this, something will happen." General William whispered, "Both of these men are of comparable quality, and now Setanda still has some concerns about not fighting as well as his opponent, but after that it is difficult to say." I still have lingering fears about the Athletic Tournament at Shendefu, the devastating consequences of the fight between the Dogs and the Iron Bears, and the two of them recuperating under the care of scholars for a month in which we could only watch Hercules flex his way through Livingston's territory. ”

"You reminded me." Gregory IV nodded, "Stop." ”
