"Why did you fall asleep just now?"

Stannis suddenly sensed two blue flashes in front of him, pulling him back from nothingness.

It was Anne's eyes, and she was leaning over to look at him curiously.

The lord shook his head, he didn't expect that the out-of-body soul was only a short moment, and so much time had passed.

Stannis patted his face to refresh himself, then stood up, but still did not speak, but held out his hand to Anne for his gear.

"You haven't spoken to me for a day! I'm going to be mad at this!" the girl tapped on his helmet in feigned anger, and then flashed to the side, where a grim-looking creature stepped forward and brought up what he had ordered in advance, and covered it with a black cloth to keep it secret.

It turned out to be the bodyguard named Damilian, and Stannis began to feel furious again, for some reason, every time he saw the guy's eyes, he felt sick and uncomfortable.

Anne jumped over again and ripped off the black cloth covering the mysterious object, "Dangdang!

Stannis stepped forward and picked up the two pieces of equipment to inspect them, although it was still a little different from what he had imagined, but he couldn't ask for too much.

He pressed one piece of equipment to his left hand and the other to his right hand, feeling like he had transformed into a humanoid Gundam.

"Brother Stan is so handsome!" Anne clapped her hands and was excited like a child.

Stannis thought the same way, but he still kept his solemnity and nodded solemnly to his fiancée, and then walked towards the tournament venue, at this time, it was already noon, and he deliberately found a direction to stand with his back to the sun, so that the sun could pass through him and face forward.

Finally standing in the arena of his first duel, Stannis did not breathe a sigh of relief, but raised the weapon shield of his left and right hands and smashed them together like a gladiator with a deafening collision sound.

His appearance caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd, because the weapons used in Stannis's duel were so strange.

In the right hand of 'Dragon Hunter', there is no longsword for which he is famous, but a pickaxe!

Yes, Stannis knew that as a beginner sword enthusiast, it would be tantamount to killing himself by using a weapon like a 'sword' in this kind of life-and-death duel, so he chose an artifact with high attack speed and high armor piercing, which would be used by children. Although it doesn't do much damage, when used properly, the sharp top of the pickaxe can quickly carve out a myriad of terrifying little cuts into hard armor.

And in his left hand, it was even more exaggerated, it was a strange shield that no one had ever seen, yes, this was Stannis's long-prepared mysterious equipment - the compound shield, the ultimate black technology he copied from the Western wars of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries!

Although it looks like a shield with iron cover, it's actually an offensive weapon. An iron glove is attached to the surface of the shield, which allows people to insert their hands into the shield and raise it, and there are two serrated knives on the glove, and the shield is inlaid with many iron spikes. Stannis also ingeniously made a vertical middle finger image in front of the glove, so that no matter what direction the enemy is, he will see a raised middle finger facing him, which is taunting MAX.

The most deceptive thing about the composite shield is its name, which makes people think that it is really just a shield, or just a shield with a weapon in it, but in fact, there is a big killer hidden behind the skin, but Stannis will not use it until the most important moment.

Stannis's outfit really made the Western Continent who had never seen the world look dumbfounded, and the opponent Barrow IV standing opposite him looked very dull, more discouraged, and unimaginative.

The knight of the Bafolou family was dressed in black iron polished plate armor covered with dents, indicating that he had been through a hundred battles. At the same time, the big man wore a barrel helmet on his head, and his whole body was tightly covered and impermeable, and only some gaps were exposed at the eyes. From this outfit, it can be seen that this guy belongs to the kind of reckless man with infinite strength, and even the weapon he uses is a simple and rough sledgehammer, and Stannis estimates that if he is hit head-on, he will break a few ribs.

"I thought you coward was going to pee your pants in fear, but I didn't expect it to show up!" cried Barrow IV.

There was no response in Stannis's helmet.

When the time for the duel came, neither of them moved, and Stannis didn't know if someone should shout to start before it really began.

There must be a witness to a duel, he was thinking, but out of nowhere a funny guy came out of nowhere to make a cameo as a referee, Stannis didn't remember anyone organizing this duel?

"So, the duel is about to begin, before that, the rules must be explained clearly, knocking down death or being unconscious for ten seconds is judged to be a loss, and surrender is not accepted, only to fight to the death, so are the rules clear?"

But everyone seems to have acquiesced to this self-appointed referee, just like Captain Dragonfly, who always appears out of nowhere. So, Stennis who accepted this setting also nodded affirmatively at him.

'When!'

The dragonfly captain didn't know when he had more gongs in his hand, and smashed them down very hard, and the crisp sound of gongs covered the entire racecourse.

"The duel begins!"

"I'm going to crush your bones!"

At the beginning of the duel, Barrow snorted like a villain, and at the same time clenched the sledgehammer and swung it twice, and the sound of the wind blowing from the blunt instrument could be heard clearly even by the audience in the distance.

"Oh!" exclaimed from the crowd.

The Stannis in the helmet was still silent, he was looking for the best moment, and doubled the raised seed finger on the front of the composite shield forward.

But as if this indecent gesture did not provoke the anger of the other party, he just said the same line as the arrogant challenger, "Watch me smash these strange broken brass and iron with one hammer!"

After saying that, the other party rushed towards Stannis like a standard reckless knight, unstoppable.

This big man weighs five hundred pounds plus weapons and armor, not to mention blocking, just by hitting the bones of ordinary people, they will all break.

In the distance, Anne quietly watched everything that happened off the field, neither panicking nor praying, and seemed indifferent to her fiancé's life or death.

And the Stannis in the arena was also motionless like a thousand-year-old statue, although he was actually scared to death in the armor, he knew that it was not yet the best time to reveal his secret weapon.

Bafuro rushed towards Stannis in the dazzling sunlight, he was absolutely confident that even a real dragon would be hammered by him under his blow!
