Chapter 66: The End
Archbishop Benedict just stared at Tegman silently, indifferent to the insult.
Tigerman could only glare at Benedict with hatred, and then quickly transferred to Louie.
"It's a pity, kid, I didn't want to kill you for the sake of my relatives. Tegman raised his sword and rushed towards Louie, he wanted to take Louie's life while Benedict was still far away, and now no one could protect Louie's chance.
"Because of my Lord all the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of my lord, and the righteousness that he did in heaven has been done on the earth! He will reign until to him shall be this heaven, and this earth, and all the kingdoms of the infinite sea, and the end of the earth!
Archbishop Benedict recited aloud verses from the Book of Mercy, and his sonorous voice miraculously reverberated through every corner of the battlefield. And with his prayer, Tegman, who was about to rush in front of Louis, was suddenly obscured by a blinding white light, making him completely unable to see what was in front of him, and he had to stop his charge.
"Oh, what a pity, uncle. In the white light that he couldn't see clearly, Tegman heard Louie's mocking voice, "It seems that you can't kill me, but don't worry, I'll let you go." ”
Completely enraged by Louie's mocking tone, Tegman closed his eyes and simply swung his sword blindly, trying to slash Louie, who should be not far in front of him.
"Stand up for me, boy, if you still have a little sense of honor in Tamska, come out and fight me!"
"Adults don't bully children. ”
Louie's voice was gone, replaced by Benedict's voice coming from ahead of Tegman.
"If you want to fight, I can accompany you. ”
The white light dissipated, revealing Benedict's figure, who whispered a prayer to the scriptures, then grabbed his right hand in front of him, and pulled out a lightsaber made of golden light all over his body.
"Holy Sword Technique......" Tiger Man reluctantly opened his eyes, although the dazzling white light had receded, but the lightsaber also shook so much that he couldn't open his eyes, "Okay, since you want to die, I can be merciful to fulfill you, hey-"
Tigerman raised his sword and slashed at Benedict with all the force.
With the light in both hands, the archbishop raised his sword horizontally, blocking Tegman's sword.
Tegman continued to exert force and pressed down, forcing Benedict to shrink the sword back in front of him, and the two of them faced the sword like this, and for a while neither could help the other.
"Every critical time, you guy will come out to hinder my good deeds, last time if you hadn't suddenly arrived in the Cold Mountain Territory ahead of schedule, I would have been able to dispose of Evelyn even more without leaving any trouble!"
"I guess it's more than that. Benedict's face did not change, although he was more than ten years older than Tigerman, and his eyebrows were a little gray, but he and Tigerman did not show any fatigue at all, "Do you hate me so much because of what happened two years ago?"
"What do you say?" Tiger sneered, twisting his sword slightly, then sideways to pick off Benedict's lightsaber.
Benedict immediately took a step back, dodging Tagman's sword, and after adjusting his posture and position, his sword was once again on Tigerman's side.
"You've heard Reese's name, and you know exactly what he did two years ago, so I think the speculation that has been around for a long time may be valid - when the Duke and his eldest son died in a hurry, and the Snowren Territory suddenly rioted, I'm afraid you didn't have a lot to contribute to?"
As he spoke, Benedict turned his head and tilted slightly behind him. "What's more, you and Gunther Fergus, Count of Rota, are so familiar. ”
"Hah, that coward—"
Tegman pushed Benedict's sword away again, and then swung it sideways, only to be dodged by the archbishop again.
"If that coward had been a little more decisive, there wouldn't have been so many things now. ”
Tegman's sword was blocked by Benedict several times, and Reese, who was knocked down by him just now, had already stood up at this time, hovering behind Tegman looking for opportunities.
"Do you want to fight two or one?" Tiger Man glanced behind him, then snorted coldly, "Come as many people as you want, no matter how many of you go together, I'm not afraid!"
Tiger Man swung his sword violently, and the ferocious attack forced Archbishop Benedict to retreat again and again, but his sword was actually useless, and seeing that Rees behind him was about to come up and sneak attack, Tigerman turned his head and kicked Reese in the chest, and then kicked him to the ground.
"The end of the road, but still so tenacious. Benedict looked at Tegman calmly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "It's an honor to be able to fight an opponent like you, but it's a great misfortune for Snowon to have an enemy like you, and this is something I definitely don't want to see." ”
"Drink-" Just kicked Reese, Tegman didn't have time to make up for it, he had to face the threat of Benedict again, temporarily let go of Reese who fell to the ground, and fight with Benedict again.
"Heh, it's a great fight, but it's stupid. Louie, who had been brought back to Snowlon's army by Archbishop Benedict's magic just now, sneered at the battle in the distance, and although his teacher was among them, Louie still didn't let go of his mocking smile.
"You say yes, Count Gunther?"
Gunther stood behind Louis's side, leaning slightly, but not too humble, leaning over his waist while raising his head to stare at Louis's side face.
He was still more jealous of Archbishop Benedict than Louis.
After staring at it like this for a while, perhaps considering his current situation and suspicions, Gunther immediately lowered his head and replied to Louis in a respectful tone: "At present, Tegman is just a battle of trapped beasts, and the victory is already in your hands, congratulations, Lord Duke, this is the first time you have commanded an army to command a battle, and with such a result, your prestige will definitely resound throughout the empire." ”
"Is this war?" Louis chuckled again, "and we haven't fired a single soldier." ”
"It is for this reason that your victory appears great. Gunther bent lower, but Louis could not see the expression on his drooping face.
"No, that's dishonorable, others will say that we are afraid of the conspiracy of the Leng Shanren to play tricks. Louis waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the banner of the Burning Knight in the distance, "It's war when you send troops, you know what I mean, Earl?"
Gunther was slightly stunned, he raised his head, looked at Louis carefully, and then lowered his head again.
"Yes, I understand, Lord Duke. ”
"Then go ahead and prepare. Louie's gaze was still looking ahead, and a smug smile appeared on his face, "Prepare an unexpected surprise for my cousin if he can't control those hill hillbillies." ”
While Louis was staring at the flag of the Burning Knight, Arnold, a kilometer away, seemed to sense something, and turned his face to look at his cousin.
"Louie, you really can't stand the loneliness. ”
Arnold looked in the direction of Snowlon's army, and although he couldn't make out his cousin's face, he was quite distracted.
"Drop that flag!" Arnold was distracted when a voice interrupted his thoughts.
Arnold turned his head and looked at Oz and the young knights behind him.
"Who are you?"
"Ozzy Pildenol. Oz rolled over and dismounted, drawing his sword as he drew his sword, "You don't deserve to touch that glorious banner, traitor!"
Arnold looked at Oz indifferently, not even drawing his sword.
"What a strange name, Ozzy Pildenol. ”
He stepped forward with his head held high, the Burning Knight's banner in his left hand.
"What are you trying to do with your sword aimed at me?"
In the face of Arnold's questioning, Oz did not flinch in fear, he also raised his head and looked at Arnold without showing weakness.
"You just asked my name, and I took this as an invitation to a duel you proposed, and the duel on the battlefield is the most sacred, how, do you dare?"
Arnold planted his flag on the ground and drew his sword.
"Your regimental commander is falling to the ground, and now you are challenging me again. Well, it's funny, and I don't have anything to show you mercy to. ”
"Since you're so confident, let the sword prove it!" As Arnold drew his sword, Oz stepped forward and stabbed his own sword out.
"First of all!" Arnold waved his hand, easily picking off Oz's sword, "you must learn to treat your lord with honorifics, such rudeness is unacceptable. ”
Oz's sword was picked off, but he stabbed Arnold in the shoulder, ready to dodge Arnold's sword that might stab him.
However, Arnold had no intention of drawing the sword at all, he directly stretched out his left hand and grabbed the blade of Oz, although his hand was cut by the blade and bloody, Arnold didn't seem to care at all.
Oz didn't expect Arnold to do this, he hadn't met Arnold before, and he only knew a little about the duke's heir from some rumors, and now that he had personally competed with Arnold, he found that those rumors seemed quite unreliable.
"Next!" Arnold handed out his sword and put it on the neck of Oz, who had not had time to dodge because the sword had been caught, "You'd better be able to discern the situation and figure out where you are." You self-righteous guy is so stupid that I hate. ”
The young knights who had come with Oz couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this scene.
Oz looked up at Arnold, he did have some frustration in his heart now, but this frustration was not enough to defeat him.
"I won't say that I was careless, this kind of excuse, losing is losing. Oz raised his head and let go of his sword, "Since you won't show mercy, then please do it." ”
"Smack"
Instead of slashing Oz's throat with his sword, Arnold slapped Oz in the face with the blade of his sword.
"That's why I say, I hate you for being self-righteous and can't see the situation clearly. Arnold threw away Oz's sword in his hand and let the blood remain, "Show me clearly, look carefully! Where do you think we are now? This is the battlefield, I am the master of the Cold Mountain Territory, not the target you should be hostile to! Snowlon's army is facing us, and every cooperation they have with us carries far-reaching schemes, I will not allow Louie to tamper with my things, and if you want to stop me, I will also tell you very clearly what kind of person I am." ”
Arnold directly withdrew his sword, turned around, and left Oz in place.
"You all listen to me, listen to me!"
Arnold raised his flag and roared at the entire army, his voice as if it had flipped his throat open, unleashing the deepest momentum of his internal organs. Everyone, including the hesitant knights of the Blood Cross Knights, the ordinary soldiers in the infantry array who were confused by the shouts from all sides, and the Heathcliff Gallup who fell to the ground and could not move, Titus Leslie who stood between the Blood Cross Knights and the infantry, John Fonner, who was already with the Earls, all of them had their eyes on Arnold at the forefront, no matter what they were doing at the moment.
"Listen—"
Arnold held the flag of the Burning Knight in one hand, and glanced at the army of the Cold Mountain Leader on the other, his eyes were like torches, and there was deep thought in the burning momentum, he stood there, even if he didn't say a word, it was terrifying, as if he should be the commander of this army, and he should be the Duke of Cold Mountain that all the Cold Mountain troops obeyed.
"The Snowlons on the other side were still looking at us, their eyes still with disdainful mockery, ready to see our jokes. What will they see? Panicked rats, fratricidal brothers? No! We are the Lengshan people! We are the most powerful and brave warriors in this empire, how dare they look at us with that kind of look when they are vulnerable in front of us! Let them see what the Lengshan army is!
"They will hear the neighing of their horses, and then beg for mercy under our iron hooves in fear! They will see us draw our swords and tell them in cold language what the cold mountain people can do! If they want war, we can give it to them, we are never afraid of war!"
Oz looked at Arnold blankly, and then at each other with his companions, they didn't understand what Arnold was going to do, especially when they looked at Tiger Man in the middle of the battlefield, and the doubts in their hearts became even more tangled.
"However, not being afraid of war does not mean that we need war, that we should let our lives dissipate in a series of wars that do not bring anything! I now banish my father, because I need you to dedicate the sweat on your forehead, the strength of your back, and the courage in our hearts to the cold mountain leaders who really need you, you are proud and proud cold mountain people, you show your strong and indomitable will to others, and then oh what else do you need? Go back- Go back and listen to the sounds of the mountains and forests, to see the beautiful sparkles of Lake Elena, and to remember your father's teachings and scoldings for you. We are Lengshan people, this land is enough for us to live, and there is nothing else to ask for. ”
Arnold let go of his hand, letting the Burning Knight's banner fall to the ground.
"Gentlemen, if you choose to go to war now, then I will give it to you, but, don't forget—don't forget that you are proud and proud of the cold mountain!"
Arnold turned around, pointed in the direction of Snowlen, raised his sword, and shouted loudly:
"All men are in formation, ready to defend against the sneak attack of the Snowren Leader! The infantry phalanx stepped forward, and each team formed a five-stage formation to spread out our frontline defense. Hurry up, you mountain monkeys, stick out your dirty paws to me, and if Snowlon's sissies on white horses dare to attack your array, they'll scratch their clean and feet, and they'll never be able to walk again!"
"The cavalry went around the flanks, and the whole force of the Order was ready to outflank the enemy. Don't tell me that you have fewer people than each other, you just let the horses ride and you can overturn the 'female knights' who can't even ride horses!"
"Hurry up and get moving, you guys! Now it's your duke who is giving orders, whether you're a mountain dweller or a Serodibu, you have to remind me now, you should be a cold mountaineer! The boss of Feglaf wants you to prepare for battle, you rotten creatures who deserve to die on the battlefield! Go and prepare for battle, because you have to go back to your hometown, prepare for me to fight, because your hometown is still calling you!"
The entire Cold Mountain army was silent, and countless pairs of eyes looked at Arnold's back in a daze, looking at the young man who claimed to be the Duke of Cold Mountain, their lord, and asked them to fight.
"Prepare for battle!"
The infantry in the middle were the first to shout, and they quickly stepped forward, arranging one neat array after another, erecting a wall of shields like an iron wall, and displaying their glittering spears before the Snowlons. They shouted loudly, jumble words interspersed with vulgar shouts, but the momentum of the cold mountain army was gradually rising, and gradually, the originally chaotic and unbearable ranks returned to their most feared and powerful appearance, even the Snowlonians had to be afraid of such an army.
Then the counts' army began to move, and they also chanted Arnold's name, and lined up behind the phalanx of infantry in the center. Seeing such a formation, Oz and the others glanced at each other, and then at Gallup, who was still on the ground, and finally decided to follow Arnold's order and led the troops around the flanks to prepare for a surprise attack.
The Cold Mountain army was slowly moving, they stopped the confusion, and in the midst of all kinds of shouting and unbridled laughter, they took a stand in the direction of Snowlon's army, ready for a battle at any time.
"Phew—it seems that there is no chance to make a move, cousin, you can always seize the opportunity to save yourself!" Louie in the distance saw this scene and exhaled softly, still with that arrogant and contemptuous smile on his face. However, no matter how arrogant Louis was, he now understood that this was no longer the right time to engage the Cold Mountain army.
In the middle of the battlefield, Tegman blocked Benedict's attack with a sword, and then turned and elbowed Reese who pounced on him, he and Archbishop Benedict and Reese had been entangled for countless rounds, although he always had the upper hand, but there was no way to deal with these two people.
When he heard the shouts behind him, Tiger Man watched Benedict with one eye, while the other focused on the Cold Mountain army behind him.
The Burning Knight's banner had been lowered, and in its place was a banner painted with crows.
"Gloomy crow. Tegman frowned, staring at the flag, "Do you want to use this as your banner?" Arnold, you gloomy fellow......
