――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As Candida said, the cavalry of the rebel army came quickly.

After a quarter of an hour, they came to the city, but they stopped at a distance of more than three hundred feet from the city guards, which were hardly a threat to the crossbowmen in the city.

Most of them wore Vegia's standard armor, the strip-shaped cavalry steel armor was very obvious, many of them did not have helmets or hand armor, but the weapons were relatively complete, and there were many archers with purple shirts and wooden war bows among the infantry who were catching up behind, and at this time most of the refugees were still outside the city.

"Who has the final say here?" asked one of the knights in the rebellion, "who is Aracis?"

"I am Aracis, who are you?" replied Count Aracis in the city.

"A noble lord hiding behind the walls, huh?" the knight sneered, "you don't need to know who I am, give us food and gold! we'll leave, or we'll kill them!" said the knight, pointing to the migrating refugees.

The city guards under the city could not detach enough people to protect the open gates to protect the refugees, and if the cavalry of the rebel army charged, the refugees would inevitably be killed and wounded.

Count Arassis raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "See clearly! Many of these people are you Virginians! They are your compatriots! Do you want to threaten me with your brothers and sisters? Didn't you flee the army in the first place to survive? If you dared to attack, most of you would die in front of them!

The infantry of the rebel army had already entered the line one after another, and they had all heard the words of Arassis, so there was a buzzing of flies in the ranks.

"We don't want to do that either!" cried the knight, "So, give us gold and food! We'll leave at once!

"No!" "Alassis firmly denied, "you have betrayed your army and your kingdom, and you are no different from robbers, and you are not qualified to make demands on me! In Zenda, you have two choices, first, to leave the territory of Zenda yourself, and second, to lay down your arms and surrender, and I will send you back to Vigia and put you at the disposal of your king Yarogerk." ”

"No!" the rebels roared in anger and fear, agitated. The knight's horse neighed uneasily, and the knight raised his sword with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and shouted: "Archer!

"Wait a minute!" Instructor Kai suddenly separated from the soldiers and strode towards the knight with a short sword and shield, "You want gold and food?

The knight didn't put down his sword, looked at Kai, pointed his sword at Arassis and said, "You are not a lord, what you say doesn't work, you have to ask him to agree!"

Instructor Kai stopped when he walked thirty steps in front of the knight, and his sonorous voice was still clear in the city: "In Zenda, only those who send out dueling invitations and accept dueling invitations have the right to decide the chips. Him!"

Instructor Kai pointed to Count Arassis, "As long as you don't stop me from sending an invitation, you must bear the consequences of my defeat." My lord, will you allow me to initiate this duel?"

Alassis looked at Instructor Kai below, nodded and replied, "Yes, I agree!"

Kai's sword pointed at the knight, "So, do you dare to accept the challenge of my fifty-six-year-old gladiator?"

The chatter of the rebels was like a buzzing sound of rotten flesh thrown into the stinky ditch crawling with flies in a slaughterhouse.

"He's fifty-six years old?" said Alleyne, who looked like he was in his forties.

Count Arassis nodded, his face solemn, "But I trust him. ”

Alleyne will be skeptical, although it can be seen that Instructor Kai is definitely an experienced fighter, but after all, the factor of age will greatly reduce the strength and speed.

There was no point in questioning anything now, and Alleyne stopped asking, and drew an arrow from his quiver and placed it on the bowstring.

"Defeat him!"

"Kill him!"

"...... with him"

The knight turned his horse and returned to the midst of the rebellion, then returned with a spear: "I accept your challenge!

A heavily armored knight on a war horse, using a shield and spear as weapons, charged at an old man wearing only gladiator leather armor, holding a shield and a short sword, and he didn't even give the old man time to prepare.

"Shameless!" Alleyne drew his longbow and aimed at the knight, but was blocked by Count Aracis's reach.

At this time, all the warriors of Zenda slammed their shields with their weapons with one hand, and let out a neat and low roar.

Instructor Kai tapped his shield with his dagger and slowly accelerated towards the knight with a roar, bringing up a cloud of dust and sand each time he kicked the ground.

The knight raised his spear flat, the tip of which was pointed at Instructor Kai's chest.

Vegia's spear was not as long or bulky as the knights of the Knights of the Raldian Order, only two feet longer than the spears of ordinary infantry, and its long, lightweight design made it easy to stab a person on a horse, and it could easily pierce a person's body while galloping.

Just when the knight's spear was about to pierce Kai, Kai suddenly flashed from the left side of the horse to the right side, dodging the tip of the spear while the shield in his left hand crashed into the head of the running war horse, the war horse was obviously frightened by the sudden attack of the shield, suddenly turned his head but still hit the steel shield, made a thud sound, the horse was frightened and its hind legs were suddenly supported forward, neighing and standing up.

The knight reacted quickly, and immediately threw off his stirrups so that he would not be crushed when he fell off his horse, but his steel armor made him fall extremely hard.

After the horse dropped its front hooves, let go of its four hooves and ran away from the battlefield, Kai only flipped over after hitting the horse, and immediately stood up again and walked towards the fallen knight.

The knight heard the footsteps of the old gladiator behind him getting closer and closer, and the spear and shield had fallen from his horse, so he struggled to roll over and get up and draw the sword at his waist.

Blood scrambled to gush from the wounds, and the knight's sword and shield fell into the dust, followed by his heavy corpse.

The chaotic army, which was still noisy just now, suddenly became dead silent, and it seemed that everyone lost the ability to speak and act in an instant.

Kai stood tall in the middle of the battlefield, not a single splattered of blood, but it made the rebels feel as terrified as if they had seen a demon.

"Kill!" Kai swung his sword at the rebels, and the archers and infantry of the rebels turned and fled, and the cavalry immediately turned their horses.

The sound of discarded weapons falling was constantly heard in the crowd, and all the rebels fled faster than they had come.

"Long live Chanda!" the city guards let out a deafening cry and rushed forward.
