Coming out of the mouths of the big warriors of the desert barbarians is a challenge word known as the "Battle of Honor". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Thousands of kilometers further west from the western borders of the empire are covered in yellow sand, and the oases dotted here are like sesame seeds dotted on a golden flatbread. Due to the harsh environment and poor materials, there were frequent battles between the tribes of the desert barbarians, and the men, women, and children of the desert barbarians were excellent warriors, and such battles often brought terrible tragedies.

One tribe perished, while another perished. The result of the battle was that there was no winner.

Therefore, two hundred years ago, the first barbarian leader who held high the banner of the Barbarian Beast King and conquered most of the Golden Desert imitated the human nobles' "duel before the gods" and formulated the rules of the "Battle of Honor".

Battles of honor usually occur in a stalemate between tribes, proposed by a barbarian warrior with a reputation for bravery, and the other side can choose to respond or refuse, but refusal often leads to a huge loss of morale.

The desert barbarians revere force and the strong, and a coward who has lost his prestige cannot continue to stay in the position of leader, or even maintain the qualification of a samurai. Normally, defeat does not result in too much loss of prestige, nor does surrender at an absolute disadvantage, but the fear of death and the rejection of a battle of honor will definitely bring a barbarian warrior to a disgrace.

The Thornflower family, who guard Coventry, have waged a centuries-long war against the desert barbarians, and are certainly no strangers to the Battle of Honor. In fact, there are at least three records in Coventry's history where the commander of the defending city-state accepted the Battle of Honor.

Not all of the three battles of honor were unsuccessful, two of which cost the commander positions and lives, but there was also one time when Thornflower defeated a barbarian warrior. The barbarians who had already stormed the city retreated, leaving behind their low-hanging fruit.

Of course, it was only the day's battle that ended, and the next day the barbarian army returned, and the commander who had won the battle of honor was unfortunately killed, and the corpses of at least twenty barbarian warriors lay around the body.

"Barbarian, let me be your opponent!" Baron Edelman stepped forward before anyone could stop him, his sword raised high in his hand, the blade dripping with the blood of the desert barbarians.

"Who are you, are you prestigious?" shouted the barbarian warrior Odessa, and at the same time, with a wave of his battle axe, the blade as wide as a door panel, cut in half the armor of a city guard officer who rushed over, "I am the horn of the tribe, I have fought three hundred white-knuckle battles, and not a single one has tarnished my prestige! The people I have killed can be lined up from one end of the city wall to the other! Not just anyone can be Odessa's opponent!"

"My name is Edelman Brippes. Baron Edelman's answer was simple, he knew that the name would be enough to drive the barbarian warrior crazy.

A shout erupted from the city walls, and a group of barbarian warriors rushed towards Baron Edelman as if they had gone mad. They lined up in a tight array, guarding Odessa in the center. The battle strength of the city guards was also extraordinary, and they quickly cut off the retreat of the barbarian warriors and surrounded them. Outnumbered, these barbarian warriors soon fell to the swords of the city guard warriors, but their madness also sent Odessa to Baron Edelman.

The barbarian warrior Odessa personally hacked to death at least a dozen city guards during the charge, his body covered in blood, his face hideous, and his arm holding a double-edged battle axe was bruised, looking like a demon from the abyss of hell. However, this demon has penetrated deep into the array of the city guards, and is being besieged by a group of high-level molten gold warriors, and sooner or later his life will be lost.

Baron Edelman waved his hand and motioned for the personal guards besieging Odessa to step away. "How about a duel here?" he said, pointing to a tower that had largely collapsed, "and it was a duel that everyone could see, with glory for the victor and life for the loser." ”

Odessa grinned and showed a rude and fierce smile, "Very gladly, the head of the Thorn Flower, I'm going to fix your head." ”

"I'm useless with your head. Baron Edelman shrugged his shoulders and said, "But I'm sorry, you won't be able to go back and claim your reward, even if you do win the battle of honor." ”

"Sooner or later, everyone dies, and the head of the thorn flower is either under the sword or in bed. Odessa's face is fierce, his voice is rude, but his words are quite philosophical, "If I can die here, I will surely have a fire song to sing my praise, and my soul will go to the eternal battlefield of Karajan, the god of the wild!"

Baron Edelman put away his smile and nodded solemnly, "Then come, brute, atone for your brutality!"

The two climbed the tower one after the other, and then stood facing each other. Baron Edelman gave a knight's sword-wielding salute, and Odessa responded with a chest-beating salute from a desert barbarian, then leaped forward and attacked with jaw-dropping speed.

Barbarian warriors are rarely able to perform alchemic skills, but that doesn't mean they're completely out of the question. To be precise, they use a very different way of performing alchemy than the Imperial Warriors. Odessa's lunge was almost as fast as a high-level molten warrior using an acceleration skill, and the double-edged battle axe shattered the air when it swung with a sound like a thunderstorm.

Baron Edelman's graceful sliding step back, the speed seemed not fast, but Odessa's double-edged battle axe could not even touch the corners of his clothes. Odessa roared and unleashed onslaught, and the great axe cleaved the air again and again in vain, almost like a rhinoceros with red eyes scurrying around compared to the graceful Swan-like Baron Edelman.

Regardless of the skill of both sides, the battle between the double-edged battle axe and the one-handed sword will not last long. There was not much room for manoeuvre on the half-collapsed tower, and it seemed that Baron Edelman had chosen a less favorable site for himself, but after the actual fight, he realized that the unfavorable side was Odessa.

The double-edged tomahawk struck the air again, and Odessa had to keep his balance so that he didn't fall off the tower. He quickly turned, his eyes wide open, and searched for Baron Edelman's traces again, only to feel a pain in his ribs, and the razor-sharp blade pierced the barrier between the leather armor and muscles, penetrating deep into Odessa's abdomen.

"You...... No way...... Kill me!" Odessa squeezed a few words out between his teeth, blood running down the corners of his mouth, but it quickly stopped. Due to the proximity of the double-edged battle axe, it was no longer useful, and Odessa did not hesitate to drop his weapon, and his muscles and arms almost choked Baron Edelman's neck.

Baron Edelman snorted, his face looking a little ugly. "It's a blood bank...... I can't imagine that the barbarian has such a cunning mind. When he retreated, he had no weapon in his hand, and the long sword was caught in Odessa's tense muscles, and he couldn't pull it out for a while.

Odessa let out a rude laugh and gripped the hilt of his sword with his backhand, the blade grazing against his ribs with a tooth-aching grinding sound. "It's a good sword, but it's a pity to follow the wrong master. The barbarian warrior declared loudly, ignoring the bleeding wounds, and then grasped the sharp blade in one hand and twisted Baron Edelman's saber into two with a sharp wrench.

Under the action of the cyan solution, Odessa's wound healed almost on its own after the blade was drawn. It was a very valuable experience for this barbarian warrior. Because the shamans of the Golden Desert tribes were not capable of concocting such a high-level alchemy potion, in the past years, he could only swallow the green steel ore that had been ground into powder.

"Imperials, there is too much thinking in their heads. Odessa laughed again, patting his thick chest, "Do you still have a weapon?"

Baron Edelman, with a calm face, pulled out a dagger from his belt, a self-defense weapon that was nothing more than a harmless toothpick compared to a barbarian warrior as a giant. Seeing this comical scene, Odessa let out a rough laugh and then spread his arms.

"It's ridiculous, hahaha, come on, I'll let you pierce enough!"

The barbarian warrior was a man of his word, and he was indeed ready to have Baron Edelman stabbed and then strangled him with his powerful arms. Barbarian warriors are never afraid of pain, especially the "blood banks" that can catalyze green steel, and there are even some guys who are addicted to pain. Odessa is certainly not the kind of waste who can't restrain his desires, but he has experienced more than 300 hand-to-hand battles and has been wounded in more than a thousand places, and he has long forgotten any pain.

So when the dagger stabbed through the chest and exploded in an unprecedented pain, Odessa was able to twist his body and punch Baron Edelman.

Baron Edelman didn't dodge, he withstood the punch, then drew his dagger and watched as the burly and tall undead slowly collapsed to the ground. Odessa struggled one last time, his eyes staring at the sky, blood gushing out of his eyes, nostrils, and mouth, and he stopped breathing in the blink of an eye.

"Don't underestimate the alchemists of Coventry, stupid desert brutes. Baron Edelman sneered and picked up the barbarian warrior's double-edged battle axe, raised the heavy weapon aloft, and threw it towards the city.

The barbarian warriors above and below the city were stunned, their swords and battle axe wielding arms slowed down, and the pace of charging towards the city walls gradually stopped, some were suspicious, others let out frustrated curses.

The City Guard warriors didn't take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and while doing so would certainly bring down a group of barbarians, it would also squander the fruits of victory in the Battle of Honor. In the distance, the low sound of a trumpet sounded, and the rhythm was soothing and low, as if mourning something. The first barbarian warrior began to turn around, then the second, then the third, and within a few minutes, there were barbarian warriors retreating everywhere, and the siege towers that were about to approach the city walls also slowly retreated with a creaking and grinding sound.

Cheers erupted, and every City Guard soldier shouted, offering the highest respect to the young ruler of the Thornflower Clan. But Baron Edelman looked thoughtful, and he stood silently on the crumbling tower for a full ten minutes.

"Now, it's time to liquidate those who are on the wrong side......" he whispered, his tone was extremely cold, "the head of the barbarian leader is more sober and intelligent than I thought......
