Chapter 162: The Battle of the Two Kings
At this time, Zheng Ming didn't know what kind of impact his actions had on Gwyna and Lancelot, who were originally just hazy and sympathetic to each other. All he could think about was how to deploy the volunteers to rush to support as soon as possible.
Returning to the camp of the Dragon and Lion Legion, Zheng Ming named Seon as the president and Jayland as the deputy commander, handed Lancelot's paperwork to Seon, and ordered them to lead the army to come to support as soon as possible.
And he himself took Britney and Cammy to ride the red dragon first.
Here, under Zheng Ming's constant urging, the group of people who were in a frantic hurry did not show it for the time being.
On the other side, outside the nameless castle in the north of the kingdom, Arthur, who was besieged in it, accepted the invitation of the king of the north, Nolan, to a duel, and walked out of the castle alone despite the obstruction of his subordinates.
On one side were the tired Celtic soldiers on the frost-covered, scarred walls, and on the other side were an army of barbarians with high morale as far as the eye could see.
Amid the overwhelming howls and cheers, a white dragon swooped down and screamed in the sky. A figure with silver-white hair, pale blue eyes, white skin and snow, jumped off the dragon's back.
In the open space between the two sides, Arthur, with blonde hair scattered behind his head, and Norlan, with silver hair, slowly approached. It's like the moon and the sun coexist in the world.
Arthur stared at Nuolan with a serious expression, and slowly pulled out the two-handed sword with a simple shape on his waist and a red gem inlaid with red gems on the hilt, and erected it in front of him. With the full explosion of body energy, a sense of majesty and simplicity spread out from the long sword.
"Good sword."
Nuo Lan, who was full of confidence, looked at the sword in Arthur's hand, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out a heartfelt admiration. Feeling the increasingly oppressive momentum coming from the other side, he also showed a cautious look, and pulled out the slender ice-blue sword carved from his waist like an ice cube.
Both men stopped moving after some distance apart, knowing in their hearts that further was a dangerous distance, and any rashness could lead to defeat.
"I didn't expect you to ask for a duel with me."
Arthur's flat voice broke the long silent confrontation, and a smile appeared on Nolan's face when he heard this.
"I didn't expect you to actually agree and go out of the city alone. Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word? ”
"Needless suspicion is not advisable, this is an opportunity. Are you sure if I win, you'll leave with your army? ”
"Of course. It's our tradition. ”
"Good."
As if he had made up his mind, Arthur slowly stepped forward with a wary expression, stepping over the buffer zone reserved by both sides and stepping into a dangerous distance.
Nuo Lan's eyes flashed when she saw Arthur's actions, and her feet suddenly exerted force. The cold wind and frost that filled the sky rushed to Arthur in an instant.
The long knife in his hand left a line full of icicles along the way, and drew an elegant arc to attack Arthur's vital body. In the face of this stormy attack, Arthur only waved his body and the long sword in his hand slightly, blocking the attacks one by one.
"Qiang ...... Table tennis ...... Qiang ...... Qiang. ”
The sound of a dense impact like striking iron kept coming, and in just an instant, the ice blades in the hands of both sides converged dozens or hundreds of times.
"Bang."
With a sudden burst of pale cyan energy surrounding Arthur's body. A violent strong wind swept through, and Nuo Lan, who was constantly attacking, was suddenly blown back a few steps by this strong wind.
After knocking Norlan back, Arthur ignored the frost that spread from the blade of his sword to his hands, and rushed towards Norlan who was unstable. On the other side, Nuo Lan forcibly suppressed the long knife that was constantly shaking under the attack of the energy containing the wind, and met the two-handed sword that was coming straight to the face.
"Boom."
The ice blades that each poured all their energy collided together, erupting into a powerful impact. The pale cyan energy containing the tremendous force of the wind and the blue energy containing the power of the frost exploded at the center of the intersection. Countless cold winds wrapped in frost and snow swept in all directions, blowing away the frozen weedy ground and sending Arthur and Norlan out at the same time.
As if due to his greater familiarity with the wind, Arthur managed to stabilize himself in mid-air. The moment he hit the ground, he rushed forward again, ignoring the frozen ground that shot like bullets. And Nuolan was only a little late because of one more landing roll.
Again, they are hand-to-hand, attacking, blocking, counterattacking, and dodging. The moment they staggered, the two exchanged offense and defense several times. No matter who it is, the slightest hesitation will leave a serious injury, dying, or even death on the spot.
The two who staggered past each other turned around again and faced each other far away. Arthur's tough armor, which never left his body, opened a large hole from his chest to his right thigh under the attack of the opponent, revealing the blue and white clothes inside, and his right abdomen was stained red with blood.
On the other side, Nolan is better than Arthur. The fur hat on his head was split in half, and a strand of silver hair fell to the ground.
"Haven't you understood the defeat last time? Your energy attribute is wind. I'm good at cold wind and frost. It suppresses you from the attributes. You're frozen enough to interfere with the fight, right? And that's when I didn't get Greyphons into the war. A fake dragon knight like you can't win against a real dragon knight like us. ”
"I'm also a true dragon knight! I also have my partner. ”
Although Arthur remained expressionless, Noran was keenly aware of Arthur's mood swings.
"Oh? Is it? How come I've never heard of it? Haven't seen it yet? Oh, are you talking about the guy who keeps his human body all year round? I heard that he was less than two meters old when he first appeared as a dragon? Is this also called a dragon? Lizards or reptiles are more suitable, right? ”
He faltered. It's a pity. It would have been a good opponent.
Seeing Arthur silently go straight to him and launch a furious attack, Nuo Lan sighed in his heart. It is dangerous to show vacillation and obvious emotional ups and downs in the face of provocation in battle. This not only affects judgment, but may also become a fuse for death.
Sure enough, after Nuolan methodically resisted Arthur's fierce offensive, Arthur inevitably fell into decline and revealed his flaws.
The opportunity is fleeting, but it is extremely conspicuous for the battle-hardened Nuolan. He stepped aside and slashed with all his might. With the help of skill, Arthur's sword slammed into the ground, and he himself opened the door open.
Nolan kicked Arthur in the abdomen and threw him off balance. At the same time, the long knife in his hand drew a blue arc in mid-air, slashing at Arthur's chest as he retreated with a muffled grunt.
