Robin vs. Huggins? Greg's duel lasted less than eight minutes from beginning to end, and the actual jiāo hand process was only about thirty seconds. "New Text Reading Experience" TXT eBook Download**

If the public duel between Robin and Huggins surprised all the nobles, the whole process of the jiāo, and the unexpected outcome, shocked the empire.

Huggins? Greg, the thirty-year-old earl, was once considered the leader of the new Triumvirate. But now, in front of Robin, the crown prince of the empire, he was killed by Robin in one face. If it weren't for Robin's mercy, Robin could have pierced Huggins' throat with a single sword without taking any responsibility for his death.

There is no doubt that Huggins' hasty agreement to a public duel and such an easy defeat had greatly damaged the reputation of the Greg family. On the contrary, the prestige of the royal family rose to the top with Robin's strong rise, so that all the nobles with evil intentions had to bow their heads humbly in front of Robin's strong power and surrender willingly at Robin's feet......

Imperial City.

"You reckless creature is really not a peace of mind! ～”

In the Imperial City Infirmary, after learning the news of Robin's injury, Leona hurried over to personally treat Robin's injuries left in the duel.

"The Emperor has already taught me a lesson, are you still going to repeat those words?" Lying in the cultivation cabin, Robin plucked his ears impatiently and laughed playfully.

"Humph! ~ Only a fool will think that you have won, and seeing you the way you are now, I think you are the one who has been repaired. And Huggins, he didn't even scratch the skin a bit. Leona gave Robin a blank look, sneering at him disdainfully.

"That's my mercy! ~" Robin sat up dissatisfied, but when he saw Leona's fierce eyes, he immediately lost his momentum and obediently lay back in the cultivation cabin filled with light green liquid: "To be honest, that guy's magnetic field strength is really beyond my imagination, and I am only about to be dismembered by him." Thankfully, the guy flinched and let me lie down intact in front of you. ”

"If you're afraid, don't do those stupid things anymore."

"Silly?" Robin róu looked at the itchy wound that healed quickly, and suddenly said seriously: "The empire is a country where the strong are respected, and if you want to be truly above everyone, ^see that only in this way can you suppress those unruly guys." ”

"And then? What are you going to do? Take this group of beasts to dominate the galaxy and then set off towards the extragalactic galaxy? Leona sat next to Robin and stared into his eyes, "I'm starting to regret persuading you to come to the Empire now......"

"Huh?" Robin looked up at Leona in confusion, not understanding why she would say that.

"Actually, the answer I'm looking for doesn't matter at all, no matter what the answer is, I'm still me, and nothing will change. But now, because of me, maybe your whole life will face endless battles......" Leona sighed and crunched beside Robin with a resentful look: "I know you're a restless guy, but ...... But I still opened a mén ...... of war for you."

"You...... You make me feel as if the person sitting next to me right now is Cecilia......" Robin looked at Leona's grieving expression in amazement, and the scene in front of him felt very unreal, as if Leona had suddenly changed someone.

"That's because I'm now starting to understand Cecilia's feelings." Leona sighed in disgust: "A man like you can never be tied to his side, I used to think it was nothing, but now...... I suddenly started to care......"

"You don't have faith in me?"

"That's because I know better than anyone else how powerful the opponents you are facing will be, and how dangerous they will be...... Even more dangerous than the Emperor imagined! ~" Leona stroked Robin's cheek worriedly: "Watching you move towards your goal step by step, I feel like I'm sending you to death." ”

"You're worrying too much! The Insats are strong, but not as strong as you say, and their bio-mechanical civilization is indeed a bit incredible, but judging by the strength they have shown so far, they are no match for us in space. Perhaps because the skin injuries on his body had almost recovered, Robin hurriedly got up from the training cabin and put on a coat at random: "Don't worry, all the way to the present, nothing has ever been able to stump me, and this time is the same." ”

“……”

Watching Robin confidently walk out of the medical room, Leona watched him leave without saying a word.

"Hope...... Hopefully my worries are just superfluous, hopefully...... That will always be just my guess......"

After completing his treatment, Robin left the medical room and was led by his entourage to a recreation area on the outskirts of the Imperial City. Here, he finds Huggins, who has just been defeated in a duel, and Solo Mén and Jean, who have witnessed the entire duel as witnesses.

Because of his defeat in the duel, Huggins' mood was very low. During Robin's treatment, he watched the recorded duel video over and over again, recalling the scene in his mind.

From an outsider's standpoint, he easily discovered the fatal mistakes he had made in battle through the video. The moment Steelling bounced out of the weapon slot, there was no need for him to assemble it into gorgeous wings, and while the combination showed his unparalleled control over the magnetic field and created a strong visual impact, it was an extremely redundant extra move in terms of the combat itself. In addition, while Robin launched a surprise attack to close the distance, he should not stand still and wait for Robin to engage in hand-to-hand combat, just use the way of fighting to open the distance, and he can rely on Robin's weak field to slowly defeat him. Even, even without these two points, as long as you are not consumed by fear at the last moment, but face Robin in a close-quarters fight, it is not completely impossible to win.

However, if you turn back the clock, will you really have a chance to make up for all these mistakes you made in battle?

Recalling Robin's unyielding courage in battle, Huggins clenched his fists hard.

That's right, from the standpoint of a bystander, he could at least come up with more than a dozen plans to deal with Robin. However, when he stood in the middle of the battlefield, the pressure he faced in a moment of life and death made his mind blank, and he could only instinctively make subconscious movements.

"I'm a coward...... All the duels I've ever had were just a joke! ～”

Huggins felt a heat on his face when he once stood on a high platform and shouted as he watched his clones win a duel.

Like all other nobles, he assumed that his blood-related self was far more powerful than his replicant warriors. Therefore, it is natural for him to feel that the victory of the replicant in the duel in his place is also his own victory. But now, after he experienced this duel firsthand, he realized that all the previous victories did not belong to him, but to the replicant warriors who fought for him. At the very least, he believed that if the replicant warriors had been fighting in his place in this duel, the outcome might have been completely different.

"Still minding the outcome of the duel?"
