Chapter 142: Accepting the Challenge

Several guards pushed open the gate where Li Ling was sitting and walked out with him in their arms. At the top of the hill there is a large flat area like a square. Li Ling was thrown by them on the edge of the square. And Clara and some black-armored guards with big shoulders and round waists were already standing not far from the square. There aren't many black-armored guards here, only a dozen, but all of them look mighty. In the distance, there were some younger-looking knights, constantly looking in the direction of Li Ling.

"Ordination Ceremony - Begin!" A black-armored knight shouted.

A guard beside Li Ling walked over, untied the rope on his body, and then pushed him violently, and Li Ling rolled to the center of the square.

A faint floral fragrance came into his nose, sweet and silky and smelled very good, Li Ling couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. He only felt a rush of life running down his breath, regaining a little strength to the muscles of his limbs.

"Could it be that these scents will help me regain my strength?" Li Ling thought as he inhaled heavily. He knew it was all in Clara's plan. But even if it's Clara's conspiracy, recovering her strength will always give her a little more means of self-preservation.

"The Knight Captain of the Seventeenth Team, Alma, is dead, and the person who succeeds him will be the leader of the outsiders - Li Ling!" Someone stood in front of Clara and announced loudly to the crowd. "Now, please send him all your blessings and challenges!"

There was a commotion from the crowd.

A young man dressed in a simple leather coat that only protected key parts walked into the middle of the square.

"You're Li Ling!" The young man asked.

"Yes!" Li Ling nodded. "What are you doing here?"

"Let me tell you, an alien like you is not worthy of being one of our black-armored knights, not even as good as us ordinary soldiers!" The young warrior gritted his teeth. As if inspired by his law, the crowd of young knights erupted in loud cheers.

"I didn't ask your Highness to be a knight chief, this is completely wishful thinking on her part!" Li Ling was a little speechless.

"Don't talk nonsense! You dare to insult our Highness, it seems that I must teach you a good lesson, see how you still have the face to be a knight captain?! ”

The young man picked up a wooden sword that looked intimidating from outside the battle circle, shook it in his hand a few times, and then pointed the tip of the sword at Li Ling's front door.

There was another loud noise, as if the young man in front of him was the representative they sent to challenge Li Ling.

"What will happen if I throw in the towel outright?!" Li Ling asked.

The young man was stunned, unable to believe his ears: "What are you?" Admit defeat? You want to throw in the towel?! The young man stared at Li Ling's eyes carefully, as if he wanted to see something unusual.

Gradually, his brows furrowed, as if he felt Li Ling's sincerity. He looked behind him, and the knights who were about the same grade as himself were waving their arms in the distance, as if expecting him to knock Li Ling to the ground.

"Bastard! Do you know how many tribulations we young people have to go through to become official Black Knights? The young knight said angrily. If I don't take advantage of this opportunity to defeat you, then I may have to go through several trials of life and death before I can become a black knight. And you...... You're ready to give up the chance to become a black-armored knight. You're insulting me, insulting everyone behind me! ”

"Why be a knight in black armor? Didn't you notice anything quirky about it? Why does everyone want to be a black-armored knight, or even a black-armored knight, instead of choosing to be a safe and secure ordinary person? ”

"This ......" the young knight was stunned for a long time before he said angrily, "Of course, I want to make myself as powerful and respected as those knight chiefs." Don't you understand the principle that people go to higher places and water flows to lower places? ”

"But......" When Li Ling was still thinking about something, a loud shout came from the crowd watching the battle outside, telling the young man in front of him to attack quickly.

"Let's see the trick!" The young man no longer hesitated, and rushed towards Li Ling with a loud shout.

Li Ling's body has almost recovered. Compared to the tricks of Akela and Uhtred, the young man in front of him ran towards him like a child with only teeth and claws.

Li Ling stretched out his hand steadily, pinched the wooden sword cut off by the young man's head with his fingers, and then grabbed the young man's arm with his other hand like lightning.

The young man immediately fell to the ground with a howl.

Li Ling smiled, grabbed the young Rao Mu sword and folded it with both hands. "Smack!" With a thud, the wooden sword broke in half.

"I didn't want to fight." Li Ling shook his head and pushed the young man away.

"But if you want to be a knight chief, that's part of the ritual, you have to defeat all the challengers!" The young man did not obediently admit defeat, but put himself on a posture again.

"Oh?!" Li Ling nodded, knowing that it would be useless to be with this young man, so he said loudly to Clara, who was sitting in the distance: "Your Highness, if I have to defeat these challengers, can I let them go together?" ”

Clara laughed out loud, and seemed to look around the crowd with some smugness, and finally looked in Li Ling's direction: "If you ask, of course you can!" Clara waved her hand.

The young man standing in the distance was stunned, and soon someone shouted: "Let's go up together, defeat this arrogant guy, we will be the official black-armored knights!" ”

"What, is this guy crazy? Considering that he is about the same age as us, how much suffering can he go through? How much power do you have? ”

"Not allowed, but now is a good opportunity to become an official knight, and you must not let it go!"

In a flash, those young soldiers rushed towards Li Ling in a swarm. Due to the limitations of the competition, their weapons are limited to weapons such as knives and clubs that have not been bladed. But under the vigorous swinging of the crowd, there were also bursts of screams when breaking through the air.

Soon, a large group of young Rao figures drowned Li Ling in his Zheng

The sound of ping-pong sticks and wooden knives clashing sounded, accompanied by the sound of people shouting and cursing.

Even Clara frowned tightly, for fear that Li Ling would be trampled to death by everyone if she was not careful.

But soon, a dull thud rang out from nothing, from there to a fast.

Immediately after, the black walls that tightly wrapped Li Ling continued to have figures flying out and falling far away in the screams.
