After a day and a night of galloping, Reilly and the others came to the border of the Iron Triangle Empire, and a few dozen kilometers further, they would enter the territory of the Crimson Principality. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Richard slowed down the pony and said to Reilly, "The star chrysalis should be almost in the turbulent land by now, and this time the harvest is indeed not small. However, the reaction of the Iron Triangle Empire disappointed me a little. ”

"You want them to intercept?" asked Reilly.

"Yes, the reason why I chose to go from the ground is because I want them to intercept it. Richard nodded and said.

"Actually, you don't need to be tempted at all. Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whether the Iron Triangle Empire is a foreign power or not, we will fight it in the future." Plus, you're disappointed a little early. ”

At this time, the earth suddenly began to tremble, and knights appeared on the ridge in the distance, and then another triangular battle flag was erected high, and the battle flag was painted with a silver and gold-edged triangle, representing the direct bloodline of the royal family of the Iron Triangle Empire.

Carrying the battle flag was a mighty young man, his thick short beard could not hide the greenness on his face, he exuded a fierce aura from head to toe, a typical northern man. The war horse under him was constantly digging the earth with its hooves, and it was obviously a grumpy fellow too.

Seeing Richard from afar, the young man immediately shouted, "Is it Richard? ”

Richard didn't answer, but stopped his horse, and behind him, fifty elite Dark-Bladed Knights silently lined up.

This in itself was equivalent to an answer, the young man immediately blew a long horn, and then rushed down the hill with the battle flag held high, until the distance between the two sides was shortened to a hundred meters, he waved his hand to stop the knights around him, and then came to Richard alone, stared at him deadly, and said slowly: "My name is Balian, and I am the ninth prince of the Iron Triangle Empire. Of course, you can ignore the latter identity, but be sure to remember my name. ”

"Why?" asked Richard with a smile.

"Because today I'm not going to let you leave the Iron Triangle Empire. Balian said categorically: "Either stay and follow me to see my father and revoke your ridiculous demands, or you will leave the Iron Triangle Empire with my corpse on my foot." ”

Richard asked lightly, "Is this ...... What does your father mean?"

"No, it's just my personal decision, and I'm only coming with knights from my own territory, I just want you to know that our royal family of the Iron Triangle Empire has been passed down for countless generations, and to this day, the blood of the brave still flows in the blood. Balian's voice grew louder and louder.

The more excited he became, the more relaxed Richard became: "I've only heard of a guy named Sarenwell, who wouldn't dare to go to war with me if he didn't have more than three times as many troops, and you seem to be a little more powerful than him." ”

Behind Balian were five hundred horsemen, exactly ten times as many as on Richard's side.

"This is not a battlefield, and we are not engaged in a war between two countries. I, Balian, am not Sarenwell. Balian turned his head and shouted, "I need fifty men to die with me." ”

After a roar, all five hundred knights took a few steps forward, and a furious murderous aura rose into the sky.

"I only need fifty people. Balian roared.

Five hundred knights, look at me, I look at you, everyone refused to back down, and finally the commander rode out on horseback, and said in a loud voice: "All knights with titles are out of the ranks, and all officers are out of the ranks." ”

This time, the number of knights who came out of the ranks finally dropped to more than fifty.

Balian turned back to Richard, tapped his breastplate, and said, "Now, our numbers are equal, come on, Richard." ”

Richard looked his opponent up and down, this young knight has the strength of level sixteen, with his age, he is a rare genius in Faro, but it is not enough to see in front of Richard, and it is really unwise for him to challenge Richard with only a group of knights of level eight or nine. If nothing else, Richard himself could kill all fifty people.

Richard tapped the scabbard of the long knife lightly and said, "You...... It's really stupid. ”

"Stupid?" Balian's eyebrows jumped.

Richard sighed and said, "That's true, I really can't say the word confidence, in my opinion, you are not even stupid, hurry up and do it." ”

Under the rage, a burning fighting spirit rose from Balian's body, and the bright crimson light was like the first rays of the morning sun, he drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Kill." ”

"Kill. Fifty knights shouted in unison, stirred their horses, and rushed forward with all their might.

It wasn't until they rushed within thirty meters that Richard slowly moved his horses, and the quicksand, splashes, and elite knights behind him also moved forward at the same time, as neat as a machine.

The two torrents of steel collided violently, and the knights of the Iron Triangle Empire scattered like broken kites, while the knights on Richard's side were unharmed.

Richard's opposite was Balian, and his long knife instantly grabbed Balian's waist, and with a slight flick, he left his mount and flew high into the sky. By this time, all the Imperial knights had fallen from their horses, and only Balian was still flying in the air.

There was a muffled thud, and Balian fell to the ground so hard that he couldn't get up for a while, and the rest of the knights he brought with him were restless, but they couldn't help but rush over.

Fifty against fifty, this is not a war, but a duel, a fair duel is the most sacred thing, and if they rush up to help, they are slapping their own master in the face.

Balian only felt the world spin, and the roar in his head finally subsided, and Richard's long knife was stuck against his cheek and then slowly pulled out.

Balian shook his head vigorously a few times, looked around, and saw that the knights he selected were all lying on the ground crookedly, some were still struggling and moaning, some were motionless, life and death were unknown, and Richard's knights were neatly lined up, and none of them seemed to be missing, and Balian knew that he had not only lost, but also lost very completely.

With a choking sound, Richard returned to the knife and put it into the box, turned the magic horse, and greeted: "Let's go." Then he took the lead in the direction of the border.

Balian didn't know where he got the strength, but he stood up and shouted, "Why don't you kill me?"

Richard's voice, which was far away, floated leisurely: "I don't kill boys." ”

"I'm not a boy, I'm an adult, my name is Balian. He shouted these three words with all his might, but Richard was long gone.

The speed and stamina of the magic pony are the best choice, and all the way away, he soon crossed the border and entered the territory of the Crimson Duchy, on the way, Quicksand said to Richard, "It seems that you care about that kid." ”

"Maybe. Richard said lightly: "I think he may be more dangerous than Sarenwell in the future." ”

"Is it because Sarenwell has brought more than a thousand cavalry, but he doesn't dare to play?" said Quicksand, "but I don't think he did anything wrong, and a guy as smart as him must be able to see that if he goes to war, he will definitely lose." ”

"yes, he's a smart guy, always has been. Perhaps remembering the hard years when he first arrived in Faro, Richard sighed, and then said to Quicksand: "But I have never been afraid of such clever fellows, only those so-called fools or madmen, because they sometimes know that they will lose battles, such as the boy behind us. ”

"The so-called miracles are often created by these fools. Reilly added.

"Where are we going now?" Quicksand asked.

Richard pointed northwest and said, "Go to the Ancestral Plateau." ”

"It seems that you don't need to intervene in the war there. ”

"No, we are not going to war, but to vacation. Richard smiled and said, "After defeating the temple of the highland god of war, we should start an all-out war with the gods." ”

"But you still can't do anything with their kingdom. ”

"Not necessarily. Richard turned his head and asked Reilly, "When will the Night Lady rekindle the Divine Fire?"

"It won't be long. Reilly smiled meaningfully.
