"But then again, he's not going to take on your squad alone, is he?"

Leah suddenly thought of one thing, who and who is the duel? Over the years, not only Alec, but these knights have experienced a qualitative leap in overall combat effectiveness after experiencing the dungeon journey when searching for Eve, the battle with the army of Simoye, and the terrible evil god Yuhime.

Although I don't know who that man is, even if I put Fenrir, the orc leader who attacked Snow Lotus City back then, here, I'm afraid it won't be possible to win easily.

If that person really intends to take on the challenge of a small team of knights, Leah will think he is a madman.

"No, we'll choose one of our team to fight him. ”

"Then there's another problem—and while I don't want to pour cold water, I'm sure you know it—duels are forbidden in Mage City. ”

Leah sighed. The martial kingdom of Randall has a culture of dueling, while the bookish city of Mages has rejected the game of staking their lives.

"Well...... Then I'll be in trouble with Lord Leah. ”

Alec shrugged with a wry smile.

"Alas...... You people who don't feel comfortable without using a knife for a day......"

Leah sighed, Alec understood very clearly, if they were caught for the duel, I was afraid that Leah would have to come forward and get them out of prison. And although little Lori complained, she did not refuse.

These knights have always served on her left and right, and the owner of the basket naturally wants to come forward to settle the situation, which is common in Randall. What's more, even if Hanufain is not there, just go to Sharuzod, the city lord of Mage City. The other party will not make things difficult for him.

The day of the duel is tomorrow, and the location is a small abandoned square. After saying goodbye to Alec and the others, Leah returned to her room. Night......

"Lord Leah, this is the text you wanted. ”

Rebecca handed a thin report to Lori.

"Good work. ”

Leah took it, and it was written a report of someone who was openly provocative in the tavern.

Rowan Rowant Rowant...... The profession is the guardian of the master alchemist...... Part-time weapon smith. ”

Under the scouts' inquiry, Leah didn't have much trouble holding the other party's information in her hands.

"Wait...... The surname Roland...... No...... What a coincidence, right?"

Little Lori, who thought of something, picked up the information she had just found from the Elemental Council not long ago, and then showed an embarrassed expression......

The next day, Leah found Alec.

"Ah, Miss Leah is going too?"

The knight looked surprised.

"Yes. When I think that you guys can only wield knives and guns, I still can't put my mind at ease. ”

Leah folded her hands in front of her chest, gently closed one eye, and pouted as she looked at each other.

"That being the case. That's great. ”

Alec understands Lori's thoughts, duels are dangerous, but as long as they can be properly treated, they are usually not fatal.

The knights knew only basic herbal knowledge and battlefield first aid. And Leah is different, although the third lady at this time is a little poisonous and awkward, it is also because of the relationship between the knights. There was no need to doubt that the small and delicate satchel must be full of healing potions and materials right now.

So the group went to the agreed place, where they witnessed a surprising scene - one side of the square was now full of weapons.

Two-handed swords. Spears, halberds, hammers, swords. Even a bow. And in the middle of these weapons stood a man, his hair supple to his shoulders, which was a little longer for a man. But all you have to do is see the resolute face and a scar on the left eye. Anyone can understand that this is a warrior.

He was dressed in armor. Just stand there quietly.

[I said that...... Is this a COS infinite sword system?]

Looking at the man standing in the middle of the pile of weapons, Leah couldn't help but complain in her heart.

The knights carry a small loli. The man named Rowan also brought a young girl, who was only a little longer than Rowan with reddish-brown hair, and there was no trace of nervousness on his face, as if he had long been accustomed to such a duel scene.

The other party exuded obvious spiritual power, which made Leah understand that she was also a mage. However, the maiden was dressed very smartly, and there was no robe except for the white cloak, but instead a suit of trousers that was easy to move.

Jessica Rowant, master alchemist, sister of Rowan Rowant. 】

From yesterday's information, Leah has already judged the true identity of the other party, not to mention that the girl is carrying her famous magic storage device like a shoulder bag, as well as the short gun on her back, and even the inexplicable armor on her left hand, these are probably the other party's alchemy inventions.

[Alas...... Looks like my plans are going to fall through again. 】

Leah sighed inwardly, the girl she was going to find turned out to be the brother of the dueling party. But even if she knew that she would be evil because of this, Little Lori didn't plan to stop it, after all, knights also have their own pride.

Alec stepped forward, looked at the other and nodded.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's get started.

Who are you going to let on, or together?"

Rowan raised his head.

"I was the one who proposed a duel to you yesterday, so let me come. ”

A knight in chain mail with a short sword and shield stepped out and said.

All the men retreated, leaving only the two sides of the duel standing together, and after some ceremonial negotiations and exchange of words, the knight frowned:

"Take up your weapon, sir. ”

At the moment, the other party was bare-handed, which made the knight a little dissatisfied.

"Humph!"

Rowan sneered and looked at his opponent, and Leah noticed that his gaze had been fixed on the knight's equipment.

"I'll use this against you!"

Rowan turned around and picked out a small shield and a longsword from the countless pieces of equipment around him.

"Ahh ”

Leah let out a small exclamation, for no particular reason, just because the sword gave her a similar feeling to Karen's weapon.

Boom!

With the sound of swords clashing, the two launched the first round of confrontation.

The weapons used are all swords, and the main type of attack is stabbing. The knight relied on his agility to get into the arms of the opponent and deliver the decisive blow. However, Rowan uses the length of his weapon to force his opponent to keep his distance.

The two of them held shields, which made it difficult to make decisive mistakes in the engagement, and even the slightest negligence could turn the tide of battle with the shield's defense.

Gradually, the battle was dragged into a contest of patience and perseverance.

"It's not good to go on like this. ”

Alec was standing beside Leah, his face dripping with a gloomy face.

"The problem is distance?"

Leah didn't know anything about martial arts, but even so, she could see that Rowan had the upper hand. Because it is not the difference in martial arts that causes this qiē, but the gap in weapons.

The longsword was nearly twice as long as a short sword, and as a mage, Leah knew the importance of distance, just like she did against a warrior herself, and the best way to do that was to blast her opponent out of range.

At the moment, Rowan is relying on this to force his opponent, keep his distance, attack, attack, and attack. The knight can't get close, so naturally he can only defend passively.

Oh no, he's starting to lose patience. 】

Gradually, Alec noticed that the knight's footwork was becoming messy, and he began to try some risky offensive methods.

Of course, high risk also means high reward, and in order to deal with this sudden offensive, Rowan also had to be more careful.

Soon, the knight caught a flaw, he stepped forward, used a short sword to block the opponent's attack, and took the opportunity to wipe into Rowan's side, and when he reached this position, it was the world of short blades.

"Humph!"

However, Rowan smiled, the other party paid too much attention to the advantages and disadvantages of the distance, and ignored the potential crisis. He let go, let the sword fall to the ground, and then grabbed the other man's sword-wielding hand with his backhand.

After stopping the fatal stab, he stepped into the other's arms, and what could be shorter than a fist in terms of the length of the attack?

After a muffled thud, the knight's jaw and the shield had an unpleasant intimate encounter.

Rowan took advantage of the other party's stunned position, raised his foot and kicked it, shoveling up the long sword that had originally fallen. He grabbed the hilt of his sword and made up for a stab that left no room for error. (To be continued......)
