Chapter 138: The Battle of Spear and Shield
On the morning of early June, the weather was not too hot, but the atmosphere on the martial arts field was extremely hot.
Spectators from all over the world got up early in the morning, and basically lined up to enter the stadium shortly after the sun rose, in order to watch a wonderful battle.
"I really don't understand what the Inhuman Organization is thinking, why should the internal competition be made public......? Are they short of money?" asked the young Rhona Gordon in a private room, puzzled.
Opposite him, his sister, Her Highness Elena Gordon Terrela, Queen of the Kingdom of Terrela, smiled and said, "This is a question that Zion asked at the beginning. Their answer was 'interesting'. ”
"Interesting?
"Isn't 'interesting' enough for the immortal powerhouses?" asked Her Highness rhetorically.
Duke Gordon's younger brother sighed and said helplessly, "You're right, sister...... Ever since you married His Majesty Zion, your mind has gotten smarter. I've only heard that wisdom can be inherited, can it still be contagious?"
"Wisdom can certainly be transmitted. The queen smiled and said, "With a wise man, you can't help but try to catch up with him." Ronna, you're almost old enough to start a family, don't mess around with those boring bards, they won't help you much!"
"I think it's good, our family has so much money, I'm an artist in peace, I don't mess with anything, it's good for everyone. ”
The queen paused for a moment, looked at her youngest brother with astonishment, then nodded, and said no more about the subject.
After a while, the jousting began.
Today's contest is between Count Pratt Yama, the "Master of Armor of the Iron Wall", and King Yunelo Sea Dragon, the "King of the Sea Dragons".
These two are famous figures, one is a world-renowned craftsman, and can even be said to be the most outstanding armorer in the world today, each piece of armor made by his hands is priceless, and the other is the world-famous "Sea Dragon Kingdom" founding king, with a group of lizardmen on the road, opened up a new lizardman kingdom in the South China Sea.
They are also famous masters, and Count Yama once faced the challenge of more than a dozen elite knights with one person and one shield, and he did not fall behind at all. Insiders understand how difficult this can be. The Sea Dragon King is a well-known warrior, who fought alone many times during the Battle of Norma, and has since become famous in the establishment of the kingdom.
Interestingly, Count Yama is a defensive warrior, while King Sea Dragon is an offensive warrior, and their styles are diametrically opposed!
So, when the schedule of this match was finalized, people who got the news were speculating - in this battle of spear and shield, was it the indestructible wall of the armor master, or the invincible battle axe?
Compared with the previous games, today's game is particularly eye-catching.
On the field, Prelet and Younero did not waste time in greeting, and as soon as they got on the field, Yunelo brandished his tomahawk and launched a fierce attack on Pret.
His attack was as simple as swinging an axe and slashing at it. Every blow is full of strength, and every blow carries a terrible wind, which is terrifying.
Pret's response was just as unpretentious, and he used an extremely heavy shield as a weapon to steadily block the heavy attack of the opponent. Although every time the blade of the axe collided with the shield surface, there was a heart-pounding roar, but his feet were steady, and he barely took a step back. The attack that seemed to be able to shake the earth seemed to have no effect on him at all.
No one doubted the strength of Youneru's attack - in the audience near the ring, the magic shield for protection had been automatically activated. The wind caused by Yunero wielding his battle axe rippled on the magic shield from time to time, causing ripples.
It's just that the aftermath of his attack, from a distance, has such power. If you sit next to the ring without protection, I am afraid that you will be injured by the aftermath of the axe wind, and even give away your life......
Seeing the ripples of the magic shield in front of them, the faces of those sitting in the front row turned red and white, both scared and excited.
Most of them are small and medium-sized nobles, or those mid-level adventurers who are not very good, and they have basically never had a chance to see such a battle before!
More than one warrior saw his eyes light up, but some yelled and shouted things like "this is the fight I want."
And in the boxes, those powerful and noble people squinted their eyes, and many of them frowned.
Out of the habit of warriors, they put themselves in the shoes of both sides of the battle, thinking about what they would do if they were to end up.
If it were me, would I be able to withstand Yunero's heavy tomahawk, would I be able to break through Pret's calm defenses?
The conclusion is mostly that it can't.
This conclusion did not discourage them, after all, the "Inhumans" are famous, and it is said that every one of them was once a peerless master, but because they had been sleeping for many years, their strength had decreased a lot. If they were all at their peak, even ordinary legendary powerhouses would not be able to defeat them.
"Do you think these two men can match the legend?" asked Ronald Incotsteen, the "Jewel Mercenary", to his old friend Othello, the wandering singer, in a box.
"It should be possible...... At least in my case, it won't be easy to stand up to the lizardman's tomahawk head-on. Othello replied, "The axe is quite heavy!"
"But why should we resist head-on? We can avoid the frontal one. "As long as you avoid the front, there's nothing to be afraid of with his attacks." ”
"Fighting is not always able to avoid the frontal. Othello said, "Moreover, you can avoid the front in the face of the Sea Dragon King's battle axe, but in the face of the shield of Count Yama, can you still avoid the front?"
Looking at the shield that was shockingly large enough to protect the entire tall Prett behind him, Ronald thought for a moment and shook his head.
"With strength alone, I really can't do anything about him. ”
"Yes, don't say it's us, even if Jayne (Land Ranger) comes, I'm afraid I can't defeat them by force alone. ”
"But we don't have to rely on strength!" Ronald said unconvinced, "I have a means other than power!"
Othello laughed: "Then how can you be sure that they have no means other than power?"
Ronald was speechless and couldn't answer for a while.
"Anyway, let's watch the game. Othello said, "Watch a few more games, determine their strength, and then determine how to negotiate with them - West Bun Leika is also dealing with the Inhuman Organization, and now it is beneficial to start managing the relationship between the two sides." ”
