Chapter 449: The Finale! ('Curtain Roll Bright Moon' Ten Thousand Rewards Plus More!) )
Hearing this knight's provocation, of course, the young man on the side of the Duchy of Alban couldn't sit still, and without any words from Alot, a young man immediately rode out with a knight's spear.
He also responded loudly: "The bed bug of the Principality of Jean, report your name, let me see if you are worthy of a duel with me!" ”
"Hehe, you soft-footed shrimp, I am Creech of the Bud family, one of the eight counts of the Duchy of Jean, and I will accept your head!"
Creech, who was the first to provoke, said his name with a sneering face.
"Then let's see if you have what it takes to get my Morse head!"
Both sides are young people in their 20s, and Gervais has already investigated, and Creech of the Duchy of Jean is also a Bronze Peak Knight, so it is really not certain who wins and who loses at this time.
The two of them chose each other, then turned their backs and rode their horses for a distance of hundreds of meters, before turning their horses' heads to look at each other.
The first battle between the knights is still spear stabbing each other, and if both sides survive this wave of mutual sprints, then the real hand-to-hand combat will begin.
Although the two are young, they have strong confidence in themselves who can be the first to play.
Finally, both sides glanced at each other, and then directly closed the visors on their helmets, and the knight's spear in his hand was raised flat and ready to charge.
Hiss!
As the two of them clamped the horse's belly at the same time, the war horse under them neighed and began to gallop with all their might.
Tap, tap, tap~
Under everyone's gaze, the horses of the two people in the field became faster and faster, and the distance of more than 200 meters was instantaneous.
Boom! Boom!
In the moment of closeness, both of their knights' spears hit each other at the same time, but they were also blocked by the shields in their hands.
Because of the huge inertia, the two fell from their warhorses at the same time.
However, as a knight of the title, even if they fell from the war horse and could not damage them, the two did not hesitate at the moment after they landed, and immediately got up and pulled out the long sword at their waist to continue to fight.
As the two sides continued to fight fiercely, Gervais had already anticipated the outcome of the battle between the two.
Gervais saw that Morse on the side of the Duchy of Alban was about to lose, because Morse was smaller and less powerful than Creech, and every time he fought against Creech, Gervais could detect that Morse was at a disadvantage.
In the case of equal strength, sometimes a small advantage can become the key to defeating the enemy.
For example, speed is faster, or strength and size are dominant.
It didn't take long for Gervais's guess to come true, only to see Creech of the Duchy of Jean suddenly shout and find the right time to launch the secret technique.
"Thunder Shield Strike!"
When Morse swung his sword and slashed, Creech did not swing his sword to block as before, but directly raised the round shield in his hand and slammed straight into Morse.
Boom!
I only heard a loud muffled sound coming through, and Morse, who couldn't reach it, was directly knocked out three or four meters away.
"There is such a secret technique!"
Seeing Creech's shield strike, Gervais was a little surprised.
Most of the secret techniques he had seen before were related to long swords or other offensive weapons, and there were very few secret techniques such as using shields.
After all, even if the shield hit the opponent, it may not be able to directly kill the opponent, and when the time comes, it will be dangerous if you consume too much fighting energy.
However, in this knight duel, the strength of the two sides is almost the same, and no one else participates, but Creech's blow has a miraculous effect.
I saw that Morse, who was hit by the shield strike, was lying on the ground and struggling, but he couldn't stand up.
The armor on his chest had sunken down a large piece, and the bones in it were broken by at least several pieces.
And Creech didn't pause in the slightest, and came to Morse's side the moment he fell.
"I said, I'll take your head!"
Creech's longsword slowly lowered and plunged through the gap between Morse's neck.
Morse was reluctant and wanted to resist, but Creech had one foot on his chest, and no matter how much he struggled, it was in vain.
"Poof!"
In the next second, Creech suddenly pressed down the long sword, and the slender blade directly pierced Morse's neck, harvesting his life.
During this period, the group of people in the Duchy of Alban peeked at Allot, but Allott did not say anything, so no one stopped Creech's move, and directly asked Creech to kill Morse on the spot.
In fact, there was a custom of surrender in this knightly duel before the war, but it was only decided by the respective monarchs themselves.
If Alotken had just said that he would keep his men, then Creech would not have killed Morse, and could have redeemed it by handing over 500 gold coins.
No, of course, this also means that Alott is disgraced, so Alott did not stop it, but watched Morse be killed.
"Honor and death go hand in hand! You need to remember that! If you win! I'll give you a great reward! But if you fail! That's to blame you for being too weak! So whether you want honor and reward, or be a weak and incompetent nobleman, everything is up to you! ”
It can be seen from Alot's usurpation of the throne and the killing of his own brother that he is a man with the potential to be a hero, so such a person obviously does not have extra mercy.
After Morse's death, Alott turned his head expressionlessly and said a word to Gervais and the other nine.
……
"Haha! Girls of the Duchy of Alban, who else! Come out and let me kill you! ”
After the victory, Creech did not directly withdraw from the substitution, but even shouted on the field.
At this time, Alotte looked at Gervais and the other nine people, and his face was a little ugly.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to fight!"
Under Allot's gaze, a young man volunteered to help.
Alote glanced at the young man and nodded silently, and then the young man picked up the knight's spear and urged the war horse to rush out.
"This time, it's a different one, the one named Morse just now doesn't have three taels of meat, and it's not useful at all!"
Creech opened his helmet and armor and continued to sarcastically.
"Today you will be my stepping stone!"
The second young man on the Duchy of Alban's side was called Divani, the same young man who greeted several of the Grand Commanders outside the camp of Alotte in the morning, and was the second son of the Count.
Divani also made a lot of calculations when he chose to play at this time, and he knew that if he won this duel, he would definitely be able to win the favor of Arlot.
At the same time, Creech's fighting spirit has been consumed a little, and he should be able to take advantage of it at the moment.
After a few sarcastic words to each other, the two separated to prepare for a new round of fighting.
It's still a spear duel, but with the same strength, there are very few spear duels that can directly separate the winner and loser, and it's the same at this moment.
After the two fell off their horses one after another, they fought together with long swords.
This time, Divani was a little stronger than the dead Morse, and he was evenly matched with Creech, and the two sides fought each other for more than three minutes in a mutual sword swing and slash.
Divani originally wanted to kill Creech's fighting spirit by delaying time, but he didn't expect that after fighting for so long, Creech didn't show any exhaustion, but became more and more courageous.
This made Diwani regret a little, why didn't he wait a little longer to play and let the others consume some more Creech's vindictiveness.
However, there is never a regret medicine in the world, and as time goes by, Divani becomes more and more anxious, and the rules of wielding the sword begin to be chaotic, and he is faintly falling into disadvantage.
"Die!"
When Divani gradually fell into the disadvantage due to panic, Creech took advantage of the victory to pursue, found a gap and leaned directly close to Divani's side, and then drew his sword and slashed at Divani.
only heard a loud sound, and in the face of Creech's sudden blow, Divani was powerless to block, and was directly slashed by Creech's sword.
Even with the protection of the whole body armor, the amazing power of the title knight tore through the whole body armor and slashed directly into Divani's flesh.
Although the injuries were not serious, they had already scared Divani, who had little experience in battlefield combat
"I throw in the towel! I throw in the towel! ”
Divani shouted as he fled quickly, but unfortunately the knight duel in front of the battle was only effective when the monarchs of both sides shouted, so Creech still didn't stop.
Hearing Divani's plea for mercy, Alot's fists burst into flames and he almost vomited blood, and although Divani's father was also in the team, he couldn't help him intercede when he saw Alot's face.
Soon, the frightened Divani was caught up by Creech and died directly under the sword.
When they arrived here, several young men beside Gervais did not change their color, and they both died directly in battle, which filled their hearts with fear.
The Duchy of Jean will march south every year, and the nobles will bring their children to participate, so these noble young people have also experienced the baptism of blood and rain.
However, the Duchy of Alban's side is on the defensive side every year, and their aristocratic youth rarely have the opportunity to fight on the battlefield, whether it is psychological quality, or the experience of life and death fighting, it cannot be compared with the youth of the Duchy of Jean.
These people are not trembling with fear at the moment, which is already a good performance.
……
"Haha! Allot, are there any more powerful young people in your Duchy of Alban, if not, I advise you to surrender directly! lest the sons of the nobles die! ”
At this moment, Lawrence's hearty laughter came from the other side.
After two deaths in a row, Arlote was already disgraced, and if this duel was really lost so miserably, then the prestige he had built up in the past two days would be gone.
"Harry! You go up! If you win, I will reward you with the richest land in the principality! ”
Originally, Allote wanted to use Gervais as the finale, and by the way, he threw the bombshell Caroline at that time.
However, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and seeing that those young people were ugly one by one, Arlo directly sent Gervais, at least there was a chance to save face.
If even Gervais is useless, then there is really no need to continue today's showdown, it is better to go back and prepare for the big battle.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Gervais was helpless, at this time his subordinates were still in the camp of the Duchy of Alban, so naturally he couldn't escape directly, so he could only answer, and then rode his horse to the field.
"Haha, the aunt of the Duchy of Alban......"
"Okay, you're not tired, I'm tired of listening! Let's get started! ”
"Uh......"
Creech, who originally wanted to taunt a few words, was directly interrupted by Gervais, which instantly made Creech a little speechless.
Gervais ignored Creech and simply turned around and rode away a hundred meters away.
Gervais had put his helmet and visor off before he set off, so no one from the Duchy of Jean had discovered his identity.
Subsequently, the two sides were more than 200 meters apart, raising their spears and starting to rush at each other.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, the two concentrated on each other at the same time, but the result of this spear duel was somewhat unexpected.
Creech, who had just won two games in a row, was poked off the horse, but Gervais sat on the horse intact.
Gervais just flicked his spear and poked it directly into Creech's helmet at the last moment, but Creech's spear was cleverly bounced off by Gervais's round shield.
Wow!
There was an uproar in the ranks on both sides, and they could see Gervais's movements clearly, which also shocked them to the strength of this person named Harry.
Not only did he plot Creech in an instant, poke him in the head with a spear, but he was also able to estimate the precise landing point of Creech's spear and bounce it off cleverly.
Creech did not stand up immediately after falling off his horse, but was groggy for a moment, and then stood up with his head flicked.
Although it has helmet protection, such a big impact will definitely cause a short period of dizziness, and the fainting is already because of the super physique of the title knight.
Seeing Creech stumbling to his feet, Gervais turned over unhurriedly and dismounted and walked towards Creech.
Seeing Gervais approaching, Creech didn't hesitate at all, and directly drew his long sword and swung it at it.
Gervais dodged Creech's slash with just a slight side dodge, and at the same time stretched out a foot to trip Creech again.
After Creech fell to the ground, Gervais didn't want to stall for time, it was too boring, a bit like bullying a child.
Even Creech's combat power in his heyday is not enough for Gervais now.
So, Gervais crouched down, held Creech's body back up again, and shoved the sword into his armor.
"We admit defeat in this round!"
Suddenly, there was a shout from the ranks of the Duchy of Jean, and it was the voice of King Lawrence.
Only then did Gervais withdraw his sword and stand leisurely.
At this time, a soldier also rushed up from the ranks of the Duchy of Jean, and this soldier was holding several small cloth bags in his hands.
When the soldier arrived in front of Gervais, he handed the bag directly to Gervais.
It was the ransom used to get back Creech, five hundred gold coins!
Gervais glanced at Arlot, after all, he still had to continue to disguise Harry's identity, and he still had to pretend to be a pretend.
Allote was already smiling at Gervais's easy victory at the moment, and nodded at Gervais very kindly.
Gervais then smiled and put the gold in the saddle, then turned over on his horse.
Seeing this, the remaining young people in the Duchy of Alban all looked at Gervais with envy.
Because Gervais won his first victory at this time, saving face for Arlot, the reward for the fief has definitely been settled, and he also received a ransom of 500 gold coins.
"Haha! Lawrence, how about it, and this subordinate who has no gold to give to me! ”
Gervais does not have a fief, only a viscount title, so he cannot be called a vassal.
This time it was Arlot's turn to shout.
……
The Duchy of Jean on the opposite side naturally couldn't stand this breath, and immediately sent a person to fight again.
"Your strength is good! What is your name! ”
The young man was a bit big, and when he arrived in the middle of the field, he said to Gervais with a smile.
"Harry!"
Gervais was too lazy to say anything.
"Very good, you remember my name, my name is Lenny!"
The young man also revealed his name.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt his hairs stand on end.
Gervais didn't expect that he would meet an old neighbor here, and he was the kind of old leader who had a grudge.
Just glancing at Lenny carefully, Gervais didn't say much, turning his horse's head and heading off into the distance.
Gervais was thinking about whether to take this opportunity to kill Lenny, but in the end, he vetoed it.
Even if he used Harry's identity to kill Lenny, he would still be exposed when he returned, even if he had the favoritism of the Lord of the North and Alice, it would definitely be uncomfortable for him.
Anyway, with his own strength after going back, he has enough time to clean up Lenny, and Gervais is not in a hurry.
At the same time, this Lanny was quite honest during this time, because the king directly warned the Seven Earls not to fight the idea of the Jones family again, so under the strict order of Count Cowan, Lanny was forced to temporarily stop the reconstruction of the camp in the buffer zone.
That's why Gervais didn't go to Lenny before he left.
Of course, capital sins can be saved for later, but living sins need to be avenged now.
Gervais and Lenny turned their horses' heads after running long enough, and then charged at each other with their knights' spears.
With a bang, it was still Lenny who landed, and Gervais was intact!
"What's going on! Who is that person, and why is he so powerful? ”
"Yes! Both times I hit someone else's head, and I was unharmed! ”
"What's even weirder is that person seems to be a bronze mid-level knight!"
"Oh my God, if you don't say it, I don't need to find out, he is really just a bronze mid-rank knight!"
"How is this possible, how did he do it!"
If you just picked Creech off, it can be counted as a layer of luck.
But in the same way, Lenny was also picked away, which showed that Gervais's strength was terrifying, and there were already many people secretly talking about it in the crowd of the Duchy of Jean.
Especially when they knew the strength of the Gervais Bronze Intermediate Rank, it was even more unbelievable.
Even Lawrence and several of the Counts were scrutinizing Gervais.
It's a pity that Gervais not only has a face armor covering his face, but this full-body armor is not tailor-made after all, and there are still some differences with Gervais's original body shape, so they can't see the clue at all.
Gervais turned over and dismounted again, and came to Lenny's side, Lenny also swayed left and right after standing up, and also drew his long sword and slashed at Gervais.
Instead of dodging this time, Gervais didn't trip Lenny with his foot, but swung his sword directly at Lenny.
While!
Whoa!
As the long swords collided together, Lenny's strength could not be compared to Gervais's at all, and Lenny's longsword was bounced away in an instant, and then, Gervais's longsword slashed into Lenny's chest.
I saw that Ranny's whole body armor was instantly cut out of a gap, and blood was already coming out of it.
Gervais mastered the force just enough not to put Lenny in danger of life, but it was also able to leave a wound deep enough long enough on his body.
After the first blow, Gervais was not ready to stop, but wanted to make two more swords.
"We admit defeat in this round!"
It's a pity that the Duchy of Jean didn't give Gervais a chance.
Because everyone knew that Lenny was not Gervais's opponent, and continuing to fight would only make Lenny be cut with a few more swords, so he simply threw in the towel.
After hearing Lawrence's words, Gervais could only stop his hand, expressing his helplessness.
Soon, the soldiers of the Duchy of Jean again sent five black bags, which were filled with golden coins.
As Gervais accepted the coin, Lenny was quickly helped back.
After Lenny left, Gervais continued to wait in the field, and at the same time, from time to time he secretly glanced at his cheap wife.
Only then did Gervais realize that his cheap wife seemed to be a little haggard.
"It can't be because of me, is it?"
Gervais was distressed all over, and at the same time wondered if the cheap wife had become haggard because of herself.
