This is a venue in the shape of a 'mouth'.

On all sides, there are palaces in the south, east, west, and northwest, and in the middle is a square half a mile wide from east to west and one point and two miles long from north to south.

According to the metric system, the square covers an area of almost 2.5 square kilometers.

In this square, from north to south, three large fountains are lined up, dividing the square into four small squares with a very balanced area, each of which is about 0.6 square kilometers.

Hesse father and son, surrounded by a group of major generals of the Imperial Army, and the applause and cheers of many nobles of the Delen Empire, came to the northernmost small square, and they stood on the west side of the fountain.

Thomson took off his tuxedo to reveal his swordsman's suit, and the captain of the embassy's guards, as well as the bodyguard leader, the Great Axeman, stood on the east side of the fountain.

The nobles of the Delen Empire, as well as the guests of the vassal kingdoms and principalities from the Delen Empire, stood on the west side of the fountain. Correspondingly, behind Thomson and others, a large number of officials from embassies of various countries gathered, as well as invited guests from various countries.

As arbiters, Salian and George stood on the north side of the square.

In front of them lay a low table, and under a piece of bronze paperweight, several huge checks were pressed.

The two court clerks of Hydra Palace, in accordance with the law of aristocratic duels common to the mainland of Medland, are drawing up today's duel contract. A group of nobles from the Ice Kingdom, the Republic of Gaul, the United Kingdom of Nice, and other great powers were acting as overseers, lined up, standing behind the two clerks, not letting go of every word they wrote.

"These shameless guys." Marcos, Big Ivan, and the elders of the family that Joe had brought into Hydra gathered around Hesse, Gorkin, and Joe, and cursed Thomson on the other side.

Thomson applied the rules of the duel with great reason.

He challenged Joe to a duel, and he brought a group of powerful duelists, whether it was the captain of the guard of the Ice Sea Kingdom Embassy or the head of the bodyguard, they all had combat power comparable to the extraordinary sixth order.

Judging from the data on the bright side, the three fathers and sons of the Rittal family have undoubtedly fallen behind.

After all, the information disclosed to the public is that Hesse's situation is unknown, but he is only the head of a hillbilly family in Port Tulum, and even if he has money, the resources he can obtain are extremely limited, and his strength is ...... Fifth order, this is the most optimistic estimate.

And Gorkin, in his archives of the military department, he is a fifth-order swamp shadow wolf warrior.

The generals of the Deren Imperial Army were all limited to the Transcendent Fifth Order...... Because of the mutilation of the Swamp Shadow Wolf Sequence, it was impossible for them to break through to the sixth order!

And Joe ...... His information is easier to find.

After he came to Hydrderabad, he had just taken a second-order dark elf potion, and now he was at most an extraordinary third-order!

Thomson is an extraordinary sixth order in 'safe mode', and his combat power is enough to crush Joe.

And the two duelists he brought were enough to crush Hesse and Gorkin father and son in terms of strength.

There's no shortage of good players on Joe's side.

Marcos, Big Ivan, all of them are strong sixth-order combat power.

But this duel ...... Marcos and Big Ivan are not entitled to participate...... They do not have the right to participate.

The court clerk drew up the duel contract, and the overseers scrutinized the whole process of drafting the contract, and then nodded their heads in recognition of the fairness, justice, and legal reasonableness of the contract.

Salian clapped his hands vigorously: "Then, please come up to both sides of the duel." ”

Hesse strode towards Salian with Joe and Gorkin, and Thomson, with a gloomy face, also strode up with two duelists.

"This is a life-and-death duel that is fair, just, open, and in accordance with the code of nobility." Salian's voice resounded throughout the square: "In the presence of many distinguished gentlemen and ladies, it is now up to us to verify the identities of both sides of the duel. ”

"Marquis Thomson!" Salian shouted Thomson's name.

Thomson raised his right hand, then bowed deeply to the surroundings.

"Viscount Anderson!"

The captain of the guard, dressed in a swordsman's suit, drew his sword, and with a flick of his wrist, a brilliant sword like flowing water sprayed out. There is no doubt that he has an extremely exquisite court swordsmanship.

"Bill Knight!"

Salian stared at the great axeman standing beside Thomson.

The burly, bearded axeman, dressed in a swordsman's suit, let out a low roar, and he raised his huge two-handed tomahawk in the air, and then slammed it into the ground with a dull loud thud.

"He has a knighthood!" Salian smiled at George: "However, I don't see any nobles in him...... Temperament! ”

"He has a knighthood, it's all the relevant documents." Thomson had already prepared, he stretched out his hand, and an attendant behind him handed him a briefcase, which he handed to Salian: "He is indeed an official knight of the Ice Sea Kingdom. ”

Salian pursed his lips.

Marcos, Big Ivan, Mr. Stans, Tooth, and a few of the elders of the family who accompanied him into the Hydra Palace all cursed in low voices.

"Ah, shameless, shameless...... I'm sure two pretty little girls, this guy named Bill, he's a bandit, or a bandit, or something like that. Old Lady Mary said very harshly: "However, it is obvious that Thomson has been prepared for a long time, and it is not difficult for him to create a knighthood for a scoundrel and bandit. ”

Old Lady Mary looked at Marcos and Big Ivan, who were standing beside her, like two giant bears: "It's a pity, you are not nobles, you are not qualified to participate in this level of duel......"

Both Marcos and Big Ivan had ugly faces.

Mr. Strons took a frozen pear out of his pocket and handed it to Baku, who was squatting on his shoulder.

He squinted his eyes and said coldly, "However, sir, they won't lose." ”

Old Lady Mary nodded thoughtfully: "Of course, Joe won't lose...... This little guy ......."

She blinked her eyes and muttered in a low voice: "The imperial grandson of the Ice Sea Kingdom, shameless little guy, this matter has something to do with you?" Oh ho ho ......"

Sallian, as the arbiter, did not open the briefcase that Thomson handed over.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the briefcase, and then shouted Hesse's name: "Hesse Jon Wittup, Gorkin Jon Wittue, Joe Jon Wittou...... In the name of the Empire, they both have the nobility of the Empire. They are eligible for a duel. ”

Salian looked at George again, "George, do you have any objections?" ”

George shrugged his shoulders and lowered his voice: "Dissent? Of course not...... Thomson, I hope, you will win. You're going to win, aren't you? Uh-huh? ”

George's eyes were faintly red, and he glared at Thomson fiercely.

Thomson's face turned pale again.

He bowed deeply to George, gritted his teeth, and said, "Of course, Your Highness, I will definitely win." ”

George grinned silently.

Thomson bent over, took a few steps back, and then slowly straightened his waist, he turned to look at Joe, and said in a deep voice, "This duel is because of poor Edward. ”

Salian raised an eyebrow.

George sighed softly.

Hesse, Gorkin, and Joe looked at Thomson with an angry face for some reason.

Old Lady Mary kept shaking her head: "It's dirty, it's really dirty, it's so humiliating, it's just ...... Shameless. These little white faces of the Ice Sea Kingdom, you little girls, listen well, never go near any man in the Ice Sea Kingdom...... It's dirty, it's dirty. ”

The two sides of the duel slowly retreated, facing each other for nearly a thousand feet, and then began to prepare for the duel.

When Salian was preparing for the two sides, he asked George in a cold tone: "You didn't arrange this duel?" ”

George shrugged his shoulders, "Don't be so bad, Sarian...... Do you think I'm going to risk losing two billion gold marks and letting Thomson do the fool's errand? I warned him not to come until the coalition forces had officially set foot on the territory of the Delenian Empire...... But, obviously, my words are of little use. ”

Salian exhaled, "Coalition, confirmed?" ”

George nodded: "Hand over that money, otherwise, the coalition army, it's confirmed." ”

George said softly, "Of course, I hope that you can be tough to the end, and when the coalition forces have taught you enough lessons, it will be our turn to formally discuss the aftermath of that treasure." ”

Salian pursed his lips and sneered: "So, let's fight first...... What is the relationship between this Thomson and that Edward? ”

George sighed softly and shook his head with a hint of melancholy: "I can understand Thomson's feelings. Edward was not just his secretary, but his lover...... You're accusing Edward of being a spy? Ah, I can understand Thomson's feelings. ”

"Your lover was framed by you, and he was tortured inhumanely, as a lover, if Thomson didn't do something...... He would have become a laughing stock in the entire aristocratic circle. ”

Salian hurriedly interrupted George's words: "It's just in the noble circle of your Ice Sea Kingdom...... Sorry, Deren Empire, there is no such ......"

George also interrupted Salian rudely: "You don't know what true love is...... Worldly prejudices, you vulgar people. I was also angry at Thomson's impulsiveness, but I could understand his ......"

"Of course, more importantly, I can't let my country's deputy ambassador, because of a billion gold marks, lose his dignity in front of so many people, right?" George said indifferently: "So, I can only support him." ”

Salian's face drooped.

"We're ready!" On the east side of the fountain, Thomson shouted loudly.

He was armed with a saber and a small bronze shield in his left hand, and stood behind the two duelists.

The two duelists he had invited, Captain Anderson, were lightly treading in place.

And the giant axeman Bill, who had changed into a whole set of heavy plate armor, held the huge battle axe in both hands, and stood at the front of the three people.

"We don't need to prepare...... Let's start, finish early, and don't waste everyone's time. Hesse foamed at the ground, spitting out a mouthful of tobacco crumbs.
