Chapter 18: I forgot, I'm not a knight yet

In the tavern, Aina was talking to the Marquis of Will, and in front of them was a darkly colored ale. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"I'm sorry Aina, 50,000 warriors is already the maximum, and besides, it's the autumn harvest season, and many places need to be guarded by troops to go out of the city to harvest food, and the city-state really can't draw troops. Marquis Will smiled and shook his head.

Aina nodded in understanding, then picked up the wine glass and said, "Actually, I didn't have much hope, but fortunately, counting the demon scavengers and adventurers from all over the country, as well as Lord Xia Rui's guards, there are about seventy or eighty thousand people here, and it should be able to deal with it......"

As she was talking, Ellie hurriedly ran in and said loudly, "Dad, there is a demon team from outside the village, and for some reason, Brother Outa has challenged one of them, and a fight has already started. ”

"What?" Aina stood up with a glare, striding out.

The noisy tavern fell silent, the bard stopped singing, and all sorts of adventurers asked each other:

"Orta, is it the lucky young man who killed the witch?"

"Yes, it's him, I've seen his training, this young man has a lot of strength, he squats up two hundred times with a thick log, and he looks like he's nothing......"

"Let's go, go over and see, this young man is very gentle and humble, how could he fight with the people of the Demon Killing Team? ”

As he spoke, the crowd cheered out of the tavern's gate and headed straight for the entrance of the village.

At the entrance of the village, there was already a large circle of people at this time, and in the innermost, there was a rapid sound of gold and iron.

Ota's two-handed greatsword flew up and down, the chilling sword light flew like a waterfall, moving fast and fierce, and the stormy attack made the bearded man breathless, and he could only rely on his shield to keep parrying and dodging.

The big bald eyebrows gradually wrinkled, it stands to reason that the second child shouldn't be so bad. With more than ten years of life and death together, of course he knows the ability of the second child, but as soon as the two fight, the second child immediately fell into disadvantage, and the violent momentum in the past was not revealed at all. Although the speed of this kid's attack is a little faster, it doesn't mean that he can't even fight back, what's going on?

And the bearded second child was also bitter at this time, cursing in his heart. The kid named Ota in front of him not only attacks quickly, but also has great strength, and every sword slash on the shield makes his arm numb, which can only be relieved by the retraction of his elbow, which makes his defensive posture always passive.

And whenever he was about to counterattack with the crescent axe, Orta's other big sword had already attacked, which made him give up the counterattack and parry instead, and in this way, he was always in a passive situation and it was difficult to get out.

Fortunately, he has extremely rich combat experience, and at this time, he is not in a hurry to parry and dodge, patiently looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Otta's feet kept stopping, just like cutting a tree in training, and each sword slashed at the bearded man's shoulder, forcing him to keep parrying with his shield, and on the shield, at this time, there were already more than a dozen interlaced iron-gray marks, and even a few openings had been rolled up.

Just as Aina and Marquis Will were squeezing into the crowd, Orta launched another round of attacks, this time he suddenly changed his tactics, no longer a rapid and continuous onslaught, but suddenly jumped up, one sword to protect the other, and the fierce momentum suddenly made the crowd of onlookers gasp.

Among the onlookers, except for a few villagers, the rest were adventurers and demon scavengers who came here to hunt orcs, as well as patrolling warriors, these people had all been on the battlefield, how could they not see the fierceness of this sword?

The bearded man saw that Ota suddenly changed his tactics, and thought that he was powerless to prepare to give it a go, and he was just happy in his heart and was ready to fight back, but after Ota jumped up, the sword momentum was extremely strong, and the speed was extremely fast, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to retreat and dodge, let alone take advantage of this to launch a counterattack.

In desperation, he had no choice but to grit his teeth, and the fierceness in his bones was instantly stimulated, and the shield on his arm slammed up, and he said in his heart:

"Even if you kid has a lot of strength, but I'm not bad, after I take your sword, you are waiting to meet my crescent axe before you land, I want you to taste my power, let you know how to respect your predecessors, little brat, and dare to challenge me?"

"Bell"

Three loud bangs rang out in an instant, and the crowd of onlookers only felt a buzz in their ears. Then, there was a look of disbelief in people's eyes, and many even opened their mouths in surprise.

"Click", a slight sound was mixed with the sound of gold and iron, and then in the incredible eyes of the people, the left arm of the bearded second man drooped down suddenly, hanging softly, and the unconscious palm could no longer hold the shield, and fell to the ground in an instant.

"How can this be?" the bearded second child didn't even react, let alone feel the pain, and asked differently.

"Ah......h

It was all so fast that Orta jumped up and slashed his sword, and then three loud bangs were heard, and the bearded arm was shattered.

Why can there be three loud noises in this split, it also shows that he actually slashed three swords in an instant just now, and judging from the sound, the power of these three swords is quite large, which caused the beard to be shocked off his arm in an instant. But how did he do it? Everyone looked at each other in amazement.

Ota took a few steps back with his big sword in his hand, stared at the bearded man twice, and said, "You lost, according to the agreement, you have to recite the knight's code three times in public, and now you can start." ”

In the crowd, Aina, who didn't have time to stop him, saw the scene of Otta's victory, and was very shocked, Ota has only been training for a month, why is it so powerful?

No way, Aina knew him too well, Mondello himself didn't know, how could he teach Otta. Leo? He doesn't know how to do that? Besides, Leo only taught him to strike iron, and the training was never ...... Wait, iron? Aina's eyes lit up suddenly.

That's right, it's striking iron, how similar is this trick to Leo when he used to hit the iron with a casting hammer? Aina was shocked by his own guess, this can be done? How could Orta have such a strange idea in his mind to apply the method of striking iron to swordsmanship, but just now he succeeded.

Aina was a little embarrassed at the thought of this, and at the same time was amazed by Orta's flexibility and boldness, and the Marquis of Will, who came with him, swept his eyes around Orta's body as if he had discovered a treasure.

Beside him, a middle-aged man in iron armor whispered something to him, and Marquis Will nodded as he looked at Otta.

In the crowd, the bearded man was red and sweating profusely, holding his severed arm in pain, and reciting quickly in his mouth:

"We are humble! We are glorious! We are not afraid of sacrifice! Bravely kill the enemy! Have mercy on the weak! Spread the faith! Be honest and sincere! Uphold justice! We are the great knights of the Glorious Continent who are respected by everyone!"

"We are humbled ......."

“...... We are the respected great knights of the Glorious Continent!"

I recited it three times in a row.

"Coax"

A burst of laughter erupted in the crowd, and the adventurers who had come to watch knew the cause of the incident in the mouths of the patrolling soldiers, and shouted one after another:

"This is a lesson from the young warrior 'Ota' of Siro Village, don't forget the knightly code in the future, hahaha. ”

"Ota is a true warrior who has slain witches, and it is because of his bravery that you have come here today to hunt orcs, and he is the pride of our village of Siro!" shouted the villagers in the crowd proudly.

"What? He's the boy who killed the witch?"

"Looking at the battle he just had, he was indeed a brave young man, no wonder he could kill the witch. ”

"yes, it looks like we can come here to hunt orcs, and we really should be grateful to this Ota......"

While the adventurers and patrolling soldiers were talking, Ota put away his sword and stuck it in the scabbard on his back, and said to the bearded man, "There is a herb shop next to the tavern, I will take you to heal it." ”

At this moment, the Marquis of Will suddenly took a step and said loudly:

"Hello my friends, please allow me to introduce myself, I am the Marquis of Will from the [Kurhea] city-state, and I am also the commander of the army that encircled the orcs. Today, I have the privilege of meeting a true knight who, despite being a teenager, always remembers the rules of knighthood and follows them to the letter. ”

"I am really ashamed to see this scene, we used to have our own dreams and persistence like him, but then what happened? After we became knights, we gradually reneged on our original oath, and in the admiration of the people, we forgot our duty of protection, and some people became arrogant, selfish, and greedy...... And a young knight like Ota is exactly what we should praise, and his quality is rare among the millions of knights on the continent......"

In Will's impromptu speech, many adventurers bowed their heads with slightly red faces, and they all had many secrets that could not be seen in the dark, and their expressions were extremely embarrassed and awkward.

Marquis Will seemed to be deliberate, praising Ota's qualities vigorously, and at the same time knocking on these people in front of him.

"I'm sorry Marquis Will," Orta said suddenly.

"Huh?" Will was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, "why do you say I'm sorry, young knight?"

Orta smiled awkwardly, "I'm not a knight yet. ”

"Uh......"

The bearded man was the first to react, and asked angrily, "Not a knight, then why do you want to challenge me? If you are not a knight, you are not qualified to challenge me." ”

Orta scratched the back of her head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I forgot that I'm not a knight before the challenge, so let's do it, I'll pay for your arm." ”
