Chapter Twenty-Eight: Kalian's Strength (Part II)
"But the captain, the weapons there are all unedged, and the swords are even round-headed. β
Date shook her head at Karen's words.
"Go get it, it's an order. Remember, you can't take a weapon better than yours, although I don't think there's any equipment in there. β
The military order was like a mountain, and Date had to walk to the weapon rack.
"Thank you for doing a qiΔ for me, Alec. β
During this time, Karen turned her head, looked at Alec and said, "However, since this is a matter between me and Viscount Date, please leave it to me to settle it personally." β
"But my lord, the duel between us ......"
"The duel between you is illegal without witnesses, so I have decided to put an end to it. β
Witnesses are required for regular duels, but for the most part, few people follow this troublesome rule, even knights. However, this gave Karen a chance, and she immediately said that the duel was nullified.
"Yes. β
At this point, Alec didn't say anything more, after all, this was indeed the matter between Karene and the other party.
While the two were talking, Date retrieved the sword that Karen had asked for.
"Although I always say that a warrior should not use the merits of a weapon as an excuse, this is an exception. β
Karen said as she played a sword flower.
"Come, I, Captain of the Golden Lily Knights, Count Karen Farainn proposes a duel to you!"
As she spoke, the girl saluted with her sword, and thenβthe tip of the sword pointed straight at Date.
"I, the captain of the fifth detachment of the Royal Knights, Viscount Date Seinte, accept your duel!"
In the same way, Date also put on a posture.
"Come on, you go first. β
Karen didn't care, but Date was falling into an ice cave at this time, and the enemy was standing in front of him so loudly that he found that he couldn't do anything. He and Karen had only met twice since yesterday, the first time at a banquet, when Karen was a kind girl, and he felt nothing but smile softly. But now he knew that he was wrong, and the girl was still smiling like that, just like at the party, but her eyes were as cold as the snow wind in the northern regions, and he couldn't look at it directly.
"Drink-!!"
Eventually, Date charged, he was a knight, and even if there was a dragon standing in front of him, there was no reason to back down.
Just like that, the knife flashed.
"Huh......?"
As if it took a moment in front of him, Date was shocked to find that at some point, Karen, who was originally standing in front of him, now appeared behind him.
Immediately, the weapon in his hand was light, and with the sound of heavy objects falling into the snow, the head and tail of the halberd fell to the ground in unison, and even the part held in both hands was disconnected from the middle.
An unbladed stabbing sword, which was not suitable for slashing in the first place, and was also used for training, swung three times in a short instant, cutting the halberd in his hand into four pieces.
Karene was a fifth-level knight, and he knew that, and he knew that there was a difference between the fourth-level and the fifth-level. But that doesn't mean that leapfrogging challenges happen all the time in this world. Although most of them failed, there were those who succeeded. This is the reason why Date doubted Kalian's strength, in his eyes, such a fifth-level girl, her strength is more or less watery, and even ...... It was praised by others.
But he was wrong, and he was very wrong, Karen was so strong, so strong that he couldn't even take a round. The original bladeless sword cut off his long halberd, which is a sign of the condensation of fighting energy into a blade, just like the flying flowers and leaves of the master of internal strength in martial arts novels can also hurt people, which is a realm that he can't reach.
"Okay, I think I've proved one more thing, in terms of strength, you are far from being my opponent. β
Relieved as if nothing had happened, Karene threw the training sword back on the weapon rack and retrieved her saber from the snow.
"Don't say anything, at least not yet, you still doubt my strategy and courage, which I can't prove now. But it doesn't matter, there's going to be a big war soon. Since I don't like people to pay in installments, I ask you to pay in one lump sum at that time. β
Seeing that Date was about to say something, Karen pointed her sword at the other party to stop her from continuing. Then she put away her weapon, ignored the two of them, and walked out of the training ground.
After the girl left, only Alec and Date were left.
Looking at Ida, who didn't know what to do, but her whole face twisted unnaturally, Alec patted the other party's shoulder sympathetically, then sighed and walked out, leaving the other party at a loss......
"Wow...... Sister Karen, you were so cruel just now, I can't help but feel sympathy for that poor uncle. β
In Kalian's office, a light flashed, and Leah's little Lori appeared there out of thin air.
"Hmph~ Whoever made that guy see me worthless, I want to make it clear - it makes me angry! And anyone who makes me angry, like that idiot, will have to pay the price!!"
Karen yelled loudly, looking unhappy, and she returned to the place after the joust with Date, and then went about her business in a huff.
"Okay, let's throw aside that stupid uncle who made my sister angry, and tell me quickly, how is my cousin?"
Little Lori jumped up and down to Kalian's side, and then changed the subject and said.
"Very good, but I want to say that although a fourth-level knight like Alec didn't even notice it, he couldn't hide it from me perfectly, right...... Even though I deliberately paid attention to you. But listen to me, just watch from afar, and don't try to get close to Fenrir, who's just like me...... No, maybe stronger than me, and more sensitive to the environment around them, these orcs are born with such a unique ability. β
When Alec and Date discussed the duel, Lori was already using "some" methods to observe their movements, and this did not attract the attention of the two knights, and now Karene and Leah are going to use this to launch a series of deployments against the orcs......
That afternoon, Leah went to Leona's bedroom.
"I'm sorry, I may not be able to teach you etiquette for a few more days from now!"
Little Lori came here for only one purpose, and that was to sue SΓΉ Leona that her etiquette tutoring was going to be cancelled.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Why!?"
#ζ§η±ε°θ―΄http://wWw./class12/1.html
Sure enough, the news made Leona jump in a hurry.
"Well...... Because Sister Karen's there are some things I need to do. β
"Uh......h In this case...... There's no way around it......"
Leona was very concerned about the etiquette class, but since the supreme commander of the place, Karen, needed Leah's help, she had no choice but to nod.
And it was from then on, that Leona never saw Lea Lori again in the days that followed, which made her very worried.
However, before this mood could last, the entire Snow Lotus City began to gradually stir. It represents the knights......
"Leona, from today onwards, all the courses on strategy, chess, etiquette, etc. will be terminated. β
A few days later, Alec found Leona and said it straight to the point.
"Yes!"
Despite her doubts, Leona nodded.
"I know what you're thinking, but this is a special time, so you need to put aside your chances and do your best to learn about combat with me. β
It was not explained to Leona that knights were also soldiers, and as long as they did not violate the eight virtues, the orders of the prefect must be obeyed unconditionally.
Thus, Leona's days of suffering began, and Alec taught Leona almost Spartan night and night.
Small, down to the most basic sword swing and footwork.
Large-scale combat exercises that are close to actual combat.
Leona's days were filled with all of that every day.
Although it was very hard, or too bitter, the effort was rewarded, and the girl's fighting skills had changed drastically compared to the past.
The knight's combat skills are originally higher than those of mercenaries and soldiers of the same level, because their martial arts contain the experience passed down from the previous generation of knights, just like a drop of water, each knight is a drop of water, and each generation is passed on, the drop of water increases a little, and under such a continuous inheritance, it will eventually converge into the ocean.
Alec seems to be teaching everything from footwork to actual combat, but it is this experience that is more instilled in Leona, for example, if the knowledge taught by the instructor is like a large class in a cram school, then Alec's instruction is one-on-one VIP teaching. After absorbing these experiences, Leona can proudly say that even though she is only a first-level fighter herself, she may not lose even if a second-level opponent comes to her......
"Alright, that's the end of the martial arts training. You've done a great job this time, Leona. β
Finally, the days of suffering were over, and Alec nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Leona, who was using his two-handed sword as a crutch on the ground, insisting on not letting herself fall down due to exhaustion.
"Thank you...... Thank you for your pointers, Mr. Alec!"
Hearing Alec's words, Leona struggled to cheer herself up and responded.
"By the way, you don't have your own horse yet, do you?"
"Yes. β
"Because Ed Nihua teaches riding, I haven't taught you here, but for the sake of insurance, I want to ask, are you confident in your riding skills!?"
"Yes!"
There's no doubt about how good Leona's riding skills are, and they've been on full display since the Cold Lake Mine.
"Well, take the money and go to the stables to pick a horse for yourself, even though you have to go back to school, but don't rent a horse, remember, buy it and take care of it yourself. Rest well for the next few days, but don't slack off on the maintenance of your weapons. That's right...... You don't have to worry about my weapons and horses for this time. β
Although Leona still didn't understand it, Alec clearly smelled the smell of war, and in days like these, horses and weapons could no longer be handed over to others. If you take care of it with your own hands, you will definitely be more comfortable on the battlefield.
"Yes!"
Without asking why, taking the gold coin from Alec, Leona turned and ran towards the gallery.
