On the other side of the city, Titus also led his army into camp, facing the city of Vortagan sixty kilometers from the army led by Snowlon.

Although the number of Titus's troops is far inferior to that of the army led by Snowlon, the 20,000 troops of the Cold Mountain Leader led by Lord Tiger are also coming, not to mention, as the most courageous general of the Cold Mountain Leader, Titus is completely unafraid of the opponent's numerical advantage, if it were not for Tigerman's intention to let him maintain restraint, Titus is completely willing to lead his 5,000 vanguard troops and 26,000 enemy troops to fight.

However, before Duke Tagman and his army arrived, Titus welcomed another guest.

"Arnold ...... Arnold and Fr. Puran from the church of Vortagan want to see me?

Titus, who was in his tent, thought for a moment, then waved his hand at the soldiers who had come to report. "Well, let them come. ”

Arnold and Father Puran walked into Titus' tent together.

"Good day, Lord Leslie. After entering, Father Pullan greeted Titus very formally, "This time we have come to make some sincere requests to you for the safety of Vortagen. At present, both your and Snowlon's forces are in the vicinity of Vortagen, and I hope that you and Duke Tagman will ensure that the lives of the civilians of Vortagan will not be harmed. Of course, I will inform the Duke of Louis of the same request. ”

However, Titus's eyes were not on Father Poulan, he kept staring at Arnold, who was staring at him.

Compared to Fonnar, Titus's appearance was obviously much more rugged, and his body was much stronger, and the plate armor on his body could almost fit two or even three Arnolds. He had a beard on his face, and a thick beard that ran from his temples to his lips gave Titus's face a rather formidable look, but he shaved the beard off his chin, which was somewhat different from Tigerman's beard.

Arnold...... Mr. Titus stared at Arnold, seemingly ignoring Father Puran's words, "Are you here to represent Vortagan City, too?"

"I'm just here for my own stance. Arnold shrugged his shoulders and spoke in a brisk tone that almost did not match the vibe of the occasion at all.

"So which side do you stand?" Titus's brass bell-like eyes didn't slacken in the slightest, "Leng Mountain Leader, or Snowren Leader, if you're on Snowlon's side, then there's no need for us to continue talking, and I will never talk to the enemy, unless he's here to surrender." ”

"Actually, I'm not on either side. Arnold took off his gloves and put them in the palm of his hand to play with them, "I'm a cold mountain man, but a cold mountain man who has been banished. ”

"It's normal for a Vault Dweller to become an enemy, and I will not be soft on enemies!" Titus's wild voice exploded in Arnold's ears, "I'm sorry, Arnold, it's your own fault, now I must capture you and hand it over to the Duke." ”

"No, you won't. Arnold smiled and shook his head, not seeming to feel a hint of nervousness.

"Why are you so confident?" Titus asked rhetorically.

"It's not confidence, Titus. Arnold took two steps forward and approached Titus, "That's right. ”

"To me, the will of the Duke is the unbreakable truth of the world!"

"Lord Leslie!" Father Puran snorted suddenly, "please be careful with your words, I can think that what you just said was unintentional, but it is better not to have a next time." ”

Titus's face froze, and he bowed his body slightly to apologize to Father Puran: "I'm sorry, Father, I have no intention of being disrespectful to the archangels and the gods. ”

Father Puran just nodded, his face still rigid.

"Titus, I remember you were always very religious. Arnold looked at the flag of Titus, whose family flag also deliberately used the wing cross of the church, "For you only, is faith more important, or is my father's order more important?"

Titus's face trembled, and he twitched for a long time before he replied, "Naturally, the Church of God is more worthy of us mortals to listen to and obey. However, the Figlaf family is a lord of the cold mountains recognized by the empire and the church, and the gods have granted him the right to rule, and Lord Tegman's will is an extension of the divine will. ”

"What if......" Arnold narrowed, his eyes looking confident, "what if the archangel showed extra support for me?"

"Please don't make fun of that!" Titus's face changed suddenly, he looked at Father Puran to the side, and said loudly, "Father, if you stand impartial, and only stand out of the kindness of the clergy, then you should not be silent now. ”

Puran didn't react, just looked at Titus seriously.

"Actually," Arnold held out his hand to Titus, "the other day, I was assassinated by a gang of Assassins in the city of Vortagen, and I was seriously wounded and nearly killed. Although I was healed by Father Pran's divine healing in time, I almost fell to Sid's will. And just when I was dying, the archangel sent down a miracle and gave me the power to bring the dead back to life, so that I could continue to walk on earth. I think this should explain the attitude and intentions of the archangels. ”

Titus's mouth grew unconsciously as he listened, and he looked at Arnold in a daze, and it was a long time before he came back to his senses and turned his gaze to Father Puran.

"I can swear to the Archangel that what Lord Arnold said is true, and that the Archangel did send down miracles. Puran grimaced and nodded slowly.

Perhaps what a priest says may not always be true, but when it comes to the gods they believe in, it is impossible for them to lie.

Titus had no choice but to believe what sounded ridiculous.

"But, but......" Titus held back for a long time, and could not find the words to refute, he was not John Fonner after all, and his tongue was not so sharp.

"You don't believe it?"

"No, no, I ...... I don't dare to doubt it, but although the archangel sent down a miracle, it doesn't necessarily mean that he hopes that Lord Arnold will take on the obligations of the cold mountain leader. Titus hurriedly said, the panic on his face now, but he didn't have the bearing of a fierce general on the battlefield at all.

"In that case, let's put this on hold for now. Arnold suddenly changed his words, leaving Titus a little confused about what he meant.

"Shelved...... And what else do you have to say?" Titus couldn't figure out, if it weren't for Arnold's miracle, he would have arrested Arnold a long time ago, why would there be so many things.

"Yes, the holy will of the archangels, it is inconvenient for us mortals to speculate, then, let us use worldly methods to decide. Arnold suddenly unbuttoned his waistcoat, for it was hot in the Fortagan Collar, and he was wearing only a black waistcoat and a white shirt, and in a few moments he had taken off both of them.

"Let's make a decision using the methods of the cold mountain people, Titus, if that's the case, you shouldn't complain, right?"

"The method of the cold mountain collar...... Are you going to duel?" Titus was stunned, his brain couldn't keep up with Arnold, and he even subconsciously forgot to ask Arnold what the decision was.

"That's right. Arnold was shirtless, but his thin body and fair and delicate skin were not convincing at all, "If I win, you should obey the will of the archangel and serve me as the master of the cold mountain territory, of course, if I lose, then I will naturally leave it to you." ”

Titus opened his mouth, he didn't understand at all, when did he agree to such a condition?

And just as he was about to ask a question, Arnold spoke again, interrupting his train of thought: "How do you want to compete? Since I proposed the duel, it is up to you to choose what weapon to use." ”

Titus stared blankly at Arnold, the logic was progressing so fast that he didn't have time to tease it out. Moreover, it was even more ridiculous to hear that Arnold, who had always been sick, was going to duel him. He looked at Arnold's body, and couldn't understand where Arnold got his courage.

After being silent for a while, he suddenly shouted to the attendant beside him, "Help me remove my armor!"

The attendant immediately stepped forward and helped Titus remove the plate armor from his body piece by piece. It was a troublesome affair, and Arnold and Father Puran waited patiently until Titus had removed all the armor from his body and was shirtless like Arnold.

"You learned your swordsmanship from the Gallup Knights, and you're terrible, so I don't need to bully you. Titus moved his muscles for a moment, he was not good at the kind of conversation just now, and the sharp edge between words and words was not something his brain could handle, so he still preferred to "speak" in the most direct way, "With bare hands, whoever falls to the ground first will lose." ”

"Fair enough. Arnold nodded, then looked at Father Pullan beside him, "Father, I'll take your time as a witness." ”

Father Poran's rigid face moved, then nodded and stepped aside.

Titus' squire stepped out of the way, giving up space in the tent to Titus and Arnold.

Titus took a deep breath. "Lord Arnold, no matter what, I have to admire your courage today, no matter what the victory or defeat, I will remember today. ”

"Trust me," Arnold said with a slight smile and a special confidence in his eyes, "you will never forget this day for the rest of your life." ”

As soon as Arnold finished speaking, Titus rushed forward with a loud roar. His body was almost like a giant compared to Arnold, and Arnold's arms couldn't even hold Titus's thick waist. That muscular body, which looks like a hard rock, is impossible to break, and at the same time has great lethality to the enemy.

Titus rushed to Arnold and reached out to grab Arnold. With such a disparity in size, if he was really caught by Titus, then Arnold would not have a chance to get out at all.

However, Arnold didn't choose to dodge at all, he met him head-on, swung his fist and slammed it into Titus' jaw.

Although Titus is known for his fierce fighting style, he does not underestimate any of his enemies, even if Arnold's small fist is less than half the thickness of his arm, but Titus still twists his neck to dodge the punch, neither giving up the attack nor intending to take the opponent's punch.

Arnold's fist swung into the air, but instead of stopping, he simply grabbed Titus's shoulder with his outstretched hand, while pressing his other hand against Titus's abdomen, clamping Titus with both hands.

Although Titus also grabbed Arnold, he suddenly found that he couldn't do anything to Arnold, although his arms couldn't stop squeezing hard, but Arnold's thin body was like steel, and there was no pain.

Arnold also began to exert force, his two hands found support points on Titus, and then he pulled his steps away, stood firm, and slowly lifted Titus up with the strength of his arms.

The rest of the tent was stunned, they couldn't imagine that Arnold could lift Titus, who weighed at least three times his weight.

Even Titus himself did not expect that it was precisely because of the huge size difference that he chose this style of play, which would not only avoid excessive damage to Arnold, but also ensure a solid victory for himself. Now, though, it seems like he's taking things for granted.

Arnold lifted Titus above his head, then slammed it down, knocking Titus to the ground. Although Titus also grabbed Arnold, he was lifted with his feet off the ground, and there was nowhere to pull Arnold, as long as he watched as he was thrown to the ground by the other party.

Titus quickly got to his feet, and although he was fallen, he was not actually injured in any way, except that he had already lost the duel.

"No...... Incredible, I can't imagine why your body ...... Why is there such a powerful force. ”

Titus stared blankly at Arnold, as if he hadn't come to his senses yet.

"It's all ......," Arnold said, turning his back to Titus, dressing slowly, "God's will and gifts." ”

Although it is a god from hell.

Arnold said silently inwardly.
