"Bet on honor and take up your sword, for your arrogance and defeat will bring shame on your lord!"

- "The Duel of the Knights"

“…… I would like to inform you that your self-proclaimed title has not been recognized by the Empire, and as the guardian of the northern territory of the Empire, Duke Orlando Rolando, Lord of White Moon City, cannot tolerate this, and I hope that on the day of the arrival of the Order, His Excellency Léo Zhang and his subordinates will go to White Moon City to explain that they are not allowed to hide or carry any wealth belonging to the Empire, and that the laws of the Empire will give you a fair punishment. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoDuke of White Moon, Orlando Roland Christian, March 1174 in the Imperial Calendar. ”

With a slight bow, the messenger from the duke, the middle-level knight of the White Moon Knights rolled up the letter in his hand, raised his head with a sideways face, and slanted at Leo and his subordinates with an arrogant expression, and slowly spoke, "Your Excellency, I hope this is not the last time I will use honorifics to you, the benevolent duke has already made a decision, I have seen a lot of poor worms like you who are of unknown origin but pretend to be nobles, don't live up to the kindness of the duke, surrender to the duke's feet, maybe one day you can really mix into a nobleman, maybe?" A baron? ”

Waving his hand to temporarily appease the extremely irritable subordinates who heard the messenger read aloud, Leo's habitual fingers alternately tapped on the table, looking at the smug face of the duke's envoy in the center of the hall, Leo didn't have much anger, because he found a problem that he had been ignoring since the beginning of the crossing, that is, the recognition of the nobles, after all, this world is still different from the game, there is no recognition from the nobles who really rule the empire, and there is no proof from the Imperial Capital Nobles, he is indeed a black household among the nobles of this continent, No matter how powerful his power is.

However, this does not mean that Leo has to endure the Duke's obvious intention to annex, looking at the messenger knight who knows nothing below, Leo even has time to feel a little sad for the other party, what a simple and simple society this must be to raise such a person, you said that you came to read such a letter, and it was not a little low-key, with a low and low expression that you came to kneel and lick quickly, did you really think that others could not kill you?

"Huh!" Leo, who couldn't help laughing when he thought of the funny part, didn't care about losing his demeanor, and asked the messenger below in a playful tone, "I understand what Lord Duke means, it is nothing more than that I and my subordinates want me and my subordinates to dedicate our city, our people, our gold, and everything we have to Lord Duke, I understand." ”

Without giving the messenger a chance to speak, Leo put on a questioning expression, "But I wonder how much your Lord Duke must hate you to allow such an idiot as you to come to me, a true Pander nobleman, an archduke, to read this ridiculous letter in front of me?" Want to borrow my hand to kill you idiot? If so, I think I'd be happy to serve the Duke. ”

Leo's words caused the people below to laugh wildly after a brief pause, and Edward's laughter was particularly presumptuous, pointing at the knight as a messenger with a thick finger and saying, "Do you hear what our lord says?" Get the hell out, you delicate bastard, or I'll screw your head off. Edward's rude words, even Finn did not stop him, which shows that the great knight was also angry.

"Bastard, Lord Leo, is this what your majesty does? Now I have to believe that you are a pathetic clay leg, thinking that pretending to be a nobleman can really become a nobleman? Just let your men try, if I take the slightest damage, you and your men will face the Duke's wrath that can burn the sky. ”

Unexpectedly, Leo really didn't expect that the courage of this idiot-like messenger is not small, and he dares to speak wildly in such an environment, looking down, the rumors about the duke must be roughly the same, even his subordinates are so unruly, as the master can imagine what it is like.

Leo, who had already decided to end the conversation with this idiot, was just about to speak out, but he didn't expect Anthony, who had always been a little transparent, to take the initiative to stand up, not only that, but Anthony even made a move that made Leo stunned.

First, drawing out the one-handed sword of 'prayer' that never left his body, Anthony solemnly pressed the back of the sword to his forehead, first performing an impeccable knightly courtesy, and then pointed the tip of the sword straight at the other party, and said in a suppressed tone of anger, "In view of the fact that you have slandered and damaged the dignity of my master in words. I, the Grand Duke of Stormwind, the Deputy Head of the Knights of Punishment and the Knighted Knight, Anthony Chang, hereby challenge you to take up your sword and wash away your mistakes with your blood, and never die! ”

When Leo found out that something was wrong and wanted to stop it, it was too late, after Anthony said the last syllable, the holy knightly duel had been formed, at this time, if Leo had to forcibly stop it, it would not only make Anthony lose his honor, but also make all his subordinates chill, once the duel was opened in this era, even the emperor could not interrupt it, not to mention, the corners of Leo's eyes swept around, Finn nodded in agreement, Keith looked eager, and Edward, who was not a nobleman, was regretful.

On the other hand, the duke's messenger, the middle-level knight of the White Moon Knights, after hearing the challenge of Anthony's holy duel, was first stunned, and then laughed wildly regardless of his demeanor, maybe in his opinion, what kind of goods can an impostor nobleman have, even the most glamorous appearance can't hide their incompetence, not to mention that as a middle-level knight in the Duke's elite White Moon Knights, he is confident enough to cut off the head of this arrogant person in one round, presumably this so-called Grand Duke After seeing it, The expression must be quite interesting.

At that moment, the Duke's knight collected his smile and accepted Anthony's challenge with the same etiquette, but when he was about to move out of the hall, he still said in a flirtatious tone, "Your Excellency Leo, I hope your subordinates will not engage in endless challenges, as a noble knight, I am different from you, and I still have a lot of business to deal with." ”

Leo shook his head and smiled dumbly, but did not answer, and took the lead to lead the others to the open space at the main entrance of the mansion, while Anthony went back after saluting to prepare the armor and equipment for the duel, and the knights of the Duke also had an entourage to assist in wearing equipment.

A quarter of an hour later, two well-dressed knights stood in the open space of the Grand Duke's palace, and both sides agreed to a duel with foot combat, Anthony didn't care, but the duke's knight mocked a few more nonsense such as the countryman had no mount, and the duel began on the orders of the temporary notary Leo.

It's a pity, just like watching a film and seeing a sudden power outage when you are excited, the process of the duel is really a bit boring, it is undeniable that you can enter the White Moon Knights, this knight of the Duke also has good strength, if there is a mount on the battlefield, it may be able to bring some trouble to the punishment knight, but unfortunately he is arrogant and chooses to fight on foot.

Who is Anthony? As one of the only three captains of the Knights, the attributes that are truly shown in Leo's eyes cannot be faked at all, not to mention that the punishment knights in the game are often used by Leo as a foot knight in tragic siege battles.

In just three rounds, Anthony first dodged sideways over the opponent's shield and slammed it, and then reversed the long sword and chiseled the opponent's face armor with the hilt, at the same time, the shield in his hand also wrenched the long sword in the knight's hand, looking at the opponent who fell to the ground in pain, Anthony's face under the mask did not even change a little, as if he had done such a trivial thing, this is still the result of Leo's merciful intentions, otherwise Anthony is confident that he will cut off the head of this arrogant man in the first round.

The long sword in his hand rested on the throat of his fallen opponent without a hint of trembling, and Anthony asked Leo with his eyes, if Leo nodded at this time, the 'prayer' would pass through his neck at the first time.

At this time, the Duke Knight still had a trace of arrogance before, and he also looked at Leo silently with pleading eyes, and he was also shocked in his heart when he didn't want to die like this, he didn't expect that his usual high level of force would be so vulnerable in front of the so-called Deputy Head of the Punishment Knights, I'm afraid that even the head of Akmund would be difficult to win here.

After all, Leo, who was still a little soft-hearted, hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head at Anthony in a subtle way, and said, "Let him keep his armor and weapons as your trophies, and let him go back and tell his master, Stormwind and all of us are not afraid of any threats and challenges, as a true nobleman, I will not accept any unjust accusations imposed on me, he wants to fight, I will fight!" ”

With that, Leo turned around and walked towards the mansion, after this farce, he also needs to seriously arm himself, according to the character of Duke Jackal, a big battle related to his own safety and the future of Stormwind City is just around the corner......
