Chapter 7: The Duel

"Well, Lord Baron, I promise you that we will send my eldest son, Pyne, as a knight for a duel." Baron Dias had no choice but to agree.

"Haha, good, I don't care who you sent, I just know you're going to lose." Baron Saga chuckled, turned his head and whispered a few words to the knight beside him, and the knight dismounted and walked out, holding a shield with a family article, looking imposing.

On this side, Sir Dias took off his chain mail and put it on for Pyne, and he could not have let his eldest son wear leather armor to fight a heavily armed knight.

As soon as the two were compared, the momentum was superior, and Carl couldn't help but feel a little worried about his eldest brother.

Seeing that Sir Dias's suit of chain mail still needed to be used in turns, the contempt in Baron Sa's eyes was even greater.

"Hillbilly." Baron Samu's voice was low, but Karl and Sir Dias could hear it, and they felt a fire that was an insult to their dignity.

Pyne, on the other hand, glared angrily, as if he was eager to slash the other party, and the chain mail made a crisp sound of iron rings colliding on him.

"Tsk." Baron Sa shrugged his shoulders, not caring at all, and even expecting the other party to do something to them, so that he could arrest them all.

"House Dias, the eldest son of the Black Thorn Knight Sir Dias, Pyne!" Pyne reported his name.

"The Caro family, the knights, the Clarence." The other party also reported his name, and it was clear that he was a knight without a fief, and had taken refuge in Baron Saga.

After the names of both sides are announced, it represents the beginning of the battle, and both sides hold their shields to protect themselves in front of them, and there is a battle between the eagle and the giant bear.

However, both sides did not attack immediately, but took a good posture as if waiting for something.

"Father, what are they doing?" Carl asked puzzled, although he has learned some swordsmanship now, he is still a swordsmanship rookie.

"Carl, you really have to learn swordsmanship in the future, this won't work." Sir Dias glanced at him and reprimanded.

However, he also explained Karl's confusion and said: "They are making a good gesture, first of all, the other party's knight, that is the top momentum." He maintains a top-down slash that allows him to finish the fight with a quick and powerful slash if his opponent comes in blindly. Pine, on the other hand, uses a deceptive stance that requires the tip of the sword to be pointed at the ground with the blade pointing downward, which seems to be very easy to attack in the opponent's position, so this will "trick" the opponent into attacking. You can do a number of things on top of this defense when your opponent attacks, such as suddenly raising the tip of your sword to launch a lunge, or quickly moving your foot to the side and slashing upwards into your opponent's chest as he slashes downward. ”

Sir Dias explained very carefully, as if he was afraid that Karl would not understand, and it was obvious that he also hoped that his second son would achieve some success in swordsmanship, at least better than if he did not know anything at all.

Carl swallowed, he didn't expect that a small rise contained so much knowledge, it seemed that these battles were not as simple as he thought.

"I didn't expect Pyne to use this kind of momentum, I thought that with his personality he would take some more aggressive approach." Sir Dias was a little surprised that his son was able to contain his irascible character, but then he was a little happy, which meant that his son had grown up a little, and that his offspring were more outstanding, which was undoubtedly the best thing to do.

The two sides were in such a stalemate, staring at each other, and neither of them took the lead.

"Clarence, what's the matter with you? Don't do it yet, do you want me to die here in the cold? Don't waste time. In the end, it was Baron Samu's disgruntled voice that broke the deadlock.

Clarence was helpless, but after all, he still had to rely on Baron Sharon to survive.

He glanced at Pyne's equipment, pondered in his heart, and then changed his posture to take the initiative to attack.

The sound of the steel clashing was crisp and loud, and Pyne, who had been prepared, appeared to be at ease and parried the attack.

It was at this moment that Clarence saw an opportunity, and the sword was raised high, about to be slashed.

The corners of Pyne's mouth rose slightly under his helmet, and he quickly spun around his right foot as an axis, dodging his slash, and spun his sword as he advanced, striking Clarence's left body with a backblade.

"Nice crossfire!" Sir Dias couldn't help but praise, although he was finally avoided by the other party, there was no doubt that it was perfect just now.

"It's dangerous." A little sweat broke out on Clarence's forehead, and he glanced at the other party again, this time his eyes were extremely solemn, and he could see that the other party was a swordsman with good swordsmanship just now, and he had to be extremely careful.

On the other side, Baron Samu's urging sounded again, and he seemed to be very angry at Clarence's defeat just now.

"Damn fat!" Clarence couldn't help but curse in his heart, Baron Sharon was not keen on practicing swordsmanship, and even his obesity could not even allow him to engage in a sword fight, but it did not prevent him from commanding blindly.

And the most important thing is that Baron Sharon is very controlling, and if his subordinates disobey his orders, they will definitely be punished very heavily.

This situation reminded Carl, who was watching the battle, of the "Spring Water Commanders" in his previous life, no, there was no difference.

Clarence took a deep breath, angry in his heart, but he had to obey the other party's orders.

He took a sharp step forward, the tip of his sword always in front of him, and as he walked forward, aiming for Pyne's abdomen, he was about to complete a thrust to turn the tide of battle.

"Hah, it's good to come!" Pine was not surprised, although the other party's attack was extremely threatening, but he also put himself in a very dangerous situation.

Pyne dodged, spotted Clarence's arm exposed to his attack, slashed with his sword, and dragged it again.

"Ahh Although he was protected by armor, this blow still made Clarence feel great pain, and the hand holding the sword had to be released.

"Bang ......"

The sword moved to the ground, and the sound it made was a little harsh.

"Smack!"

Pine didn't give up, and then backhanded a sword, slashing Clarence on the head, fortunately because of the protection of the helmet, Clarence was not mortally injured, but it represented the defeat of this duel.

Pine raised his sword aloft and declared his victory.

Sir Dias stared at the scene in front of him until Karl shook his shoulder.

"Father, big brother, he won." Carl reminded.

"Yes, yes, Pyne, he won, hahaha, it's good, he adds new glory to our Dias family." Sir Dias laughed, and though he had always had faith in his son, he was still uplifted when Pyne had won.

Completely different from the excitement here, everyone on Baron Samu's side remained silent in amusement.

"I'm sorry Lord Baron, I lost." Clarence lowered his head, not daring to look Baron Saun in the eye.

"You shit!" Baron Sa scolded directly, he didn't expect his knight to really lose to the other party's hillbilly.

Clarence was very aggrieved, this time if it wasn't for Baron Samu's fingers there, he didn't believe he would lose! But he didn't dare to show it, so he had to let the other party reprimand.

"Lord Baron, I think we've won the duel, can we pass through your territory?" At this moment, Sir Dias asked respectfully.

Baron Sa's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a look like a poisonous snake.

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Sir Dias was a little nervous, and he thought that the other party was going to regret it.

"Of course, Sir Dias, you have won the duel, and I will naturally allow you to pass through my territory as promised." After a moment, Baron Sa said slowly, and everyone could hear the unwillingness and anger in his voice.

Sir Dias breathed a sigh of relief, such an ending was nothing more than the best.

"Hmph, let's go!" Baron Sharon turned on his horse and walked towards his mansion, followed by the knights and soldiers behind him.

"Pack up the team and keep going, damn we have to hurry, or it will be too late." Sir Dias greeted, and Karl and Pyne hurriedly followed.

It's just that Karl glanced at Baron Samu's back before leaving, and seemed to feel something.

……

The sound of porcelain smashing to the ground was crisp, and the maid stood respectfully with her head down, not daring to look directly at Baron São who was in anger, but her slightly trembling body could see the fear in her heart at this time.

"Hillbilly! Damn Dias, and that Pyne! No, I can't swallow this breath like this. Baron Sharon was indignant.

"Lord Baron?" At this moment, a man who looked like a vulture walked over.

"My palace minister, what are you doing here?" Baron Sa glanced at the vulture man.

"Lord Baron, I'm here to give you an idea, and I have a way of letting those hillbillies know how stupid it is to offend you." The vulture man said sideways.

"Oh? What are your ideas? Baron Sa frowned.

"Hey, hey." The vulture man leaned into Baron Sa's ear and whispered a few words.

Baron Samu's brow furrowed deeper at first, but then he stretched out again with a look of surprise.

"Hahahaha, yes, your proposal is very good, don't worry, I will definitely reward you well, you go down first." Baron Sa laughed.

The vulture man slandered in his heart, he knew that Baron Samu's reward must be just talking, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, so he had to withdraw.

"Hehe, Dias family, I'll see what you're going to do when the time comes, begging me to let you go!" Baron Sa had a grim look on his face.

Unbeknownst to Sir Dias, they were in big trouble.
