Chapter 372: Competition

For Ranson City, the most recent event is the appointment of a new Knight Captain.

From the junction of the four provinces of Felwood, a huge territory was redivided into a new province.

This is a brand-new move for the Ash Continent, although the four provinces have not lost much, but it is the most abundant among them, and this new province immediately became one of the best provinces on the Ash Continent.

To do this, the Holy See, of course, also paid the price.

Two of the four provinces are under the control of the Holy See - for each province, the power comes from three departments, the Knights' Guild, the Holy See, and the Inquisition.

The Inquisition is in charge of justice, the Knight Guild is in charge of law and order, and the Holy See is in charge of governance, but it is impossible for the Knight Guild to have priests and bishops, even if the knights of other provinces are from the Knight Guild, but there are also bishops of the Holy See who fight against them.

And if that knight is a member of the Holy See...... Then the two sides will be able to fully control this province.

This is the case in two of the provinces that have ceded their land.

These two provinces ceded their land, so the other two could only pinch their noses and agree.

However, now it seems that the Knight Guild has set up the Holy See - the smoke released before is that the famous players of the Knight Guild have taken over the vacant locations respectively, but the next one is Duane, a person who also has a great reputation in the Knight Guild!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Holy See is deflated this time, and if they don't calculate this, I'm afraid that this rich province will never fall into their hands again.

No one thought that Fang Rui would be able to defeat Du An, after all, how could Fang Rui, a kid who only had strength, be compared to the killing machine that had been tempered thousands of times in the Knight Academy?

This competition will only be a formality, and the people of the Knights Association will leave the competition venue proudly to show their prestige.

So when the day of the competition came, starting with the archbishop and coming to the dozens of cardinals outside the competition venue, their faces were very ugly.

And those knights in fresh clothes and angry horses, with armor on their heads, came to the competition hall with pride.

In order to demonstrate the strength of the Knight Association, the Knight Association authorized the people in Ranson City to enter the competition venue to watch, but the ring was tall, and ordinary people stood on the periphery and could not see anything.

And the people of the Knight Association also did it, hundreds of knights transported a large number of bricks and stones with their personal strength, and built a high platform around the ring that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, just to humiliate the Holy See.

Over the years, the Holy See has tried to infiltrate the Knight Association little by little, and the Knight Association has actually suffered a great loss, so it is determined to take advantage of this opportunity to beat down the arrogance of the Holy See.

Christine sat on the high platform, looking at the qiē that was happening in front of her, and looked at Louis with a sinking face.

Louis was a little chilled, Fang Rui was recommended by him, but it was very likely that he would lose this crucial competition, and after that, I am afraid that his future will also be gone......

Originally, Louis was counting on himself to be able to go out to rule a province, but now it seems unlikely that even if he wants to continue to be used by the archbishop within the Holy See!

He could only sigh at the moment, who knew that such a situation would happen? In such a battlefield, would that young boy have a chance to win?

But after Duane's figure appeared in his mind, even this trace of luck seemed to disappear from Louis's mind.

"Knight Andrea has grown-"

A knight shouted in a long voice, and the civilians in the stands burst into laughter.

Fang Rui's body was relatively tall, but compared to those powerful knights, it was much shorter.

This is also the reason why everyone thinks that he has lost - the fighting spirit of knight cultivation can make the body grow rapidly, every official knight is almost a tall figure, and probably only a halfway monk like Fang Rui will maintain a well-proportioned body shape like a commoner.

Among civilians, Fang Rui's body was naturally nothing, but walking in front of a group of tall and mighty knights, he looked a little weak.

What's more, Fang Rui at this moment was not wearing armor, but was dressed in a short dress, carrying the holy weapon bow and arrow and his usual hunting bow on his back, and in addition to the arrow of the holy weapon, there were also seven or eight pots of ordinary feather arrows hanging all over his body, which looked like he was a showman.

"Hahaha, what is this guy doing with so many arrows? Does he really think that these ordinary arrows can shoot through Duane's armor that covers his whole body?"

"Don't say it's an ordinary arrow, even if it's an arrow blessed by holy power, don't even think about shooting through Duane's armor!"

"That's right, Duane's armor is also blessed with holy power day and night, although there is still a gap compared to the holy armor of the paladin, but the protection is the best among the knights!

"Even if his archery skills are excellent, he can't hurt Duane, Duane's armor can even protect his eyes!"

In the midst of the ridicule of the knights, Fang Rui went to the ring without changing his face, and then stepped into the ring, just sitting cross-legged, waiting for his opponent to arrive.

And his unceremonial behavior once again caused the knights to laugh, and the bishops kept a straight face and did not want to say a word.

Soon, his opponent appeared.

It was a giant who was too tall.

The giant was shrouded in heavy armor and could not see clearly, and on his shoulders carried a huge chain hammer, a thick hammer handle, with an equally thick chain wrapped around the handle, and at the end of the chain, a hammer the size of a human head with countless spikes on it.

This is a murder weapon, an absolute murder weapon.

This body has at least tens of thousands of catties of strength, but this big man doesn't seem to feel strained at all, and after he got to the bottom of the ring, he jumped up and landed heavily in the ring.

Fortunately, the ring was blessed by the cardinal archbishop with holy power, otherwise, the weight of the whole body alone would be enough to crush the ring!

"The two sides of the competition have arrived...... Do not kill the opponent, the time is based on one day, if the winner has not been decided by then, it will be a tie...... Andre vs. Duane. ”

Fang Rui stood up and looked at the giant in front of him curiously.

The giant lifted his mask, revealing a hideous face.

There was a horizontal scar on the bridge of his nose, his eyes were fierce, and his beard was so large that half of his face was hidden under the beard.

"If you can beat me, then I'll be your deputy with peace of mind...... If you are good, then you are also qualified to be my deputy!hahaha, but don't get hit by my hammer in the competition, otherwise, I don't want a cripple to be my deputy!"

Duan's deep voice rang out, and Fang Rui smiled at him.

"Maybe André wants to be a little more flexible...... But without armor to protect him, he would definitely be seriously injured if he rubbed it casually. He's still inexperienced. ”

One of the bishops sighed, and Christine looked at him, his face calm, and did not speak.

On the other side, the Paladin-sama sat on the other side, with a smile on his face.

Those cowards of the Holy See are now getting bolder and bolder! If we don't teach them a good lesson, they may really weigh on our heads!

It's a pity that you've chosen the wrong place! If you're on our side, for the sake of the former paladin who sacrificed his life, how could he have made you the head of a province?

Since you have chosen the Holy See, then no wonder we have to deal with you!

The paladin thought to himself, but the smile on his face grew even stronger.

In the ring, Duane had put on his visor again, and his chain hammer began to swing slowly.

Fang Rui also took off his bow, but instead of taking an arrow from the pot of holy weapon quiver, he took out an ordinary arrow and put it on the bow.

"Hahahaha, this guy is really going to shoot Duane with ordinary arrows!"

One of the knights let out a burst of laughter, while the others shook their heads again and again—in the face of such a situation, instead of taking the initiative to find the fighter, they waited there for Duane to swing the hammer—and this man's combat experience was also dying.

Although it is said that with Duane's strength, he will be able to swing the hammer quickly, but it is always beneficial to strike first with a little time.

At this time, Duane had fully swung his hammer.

The fifty-foot-long chain hammer was swung out, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.

Du An had already fully stretched out the chain hammer in his hand, and then began to press towards Fang Rui step by step.

Every time he took a step forward, Fang Rui's activity space would be squeezed by a point.

When he moved to the center of the ring, Fang Rui would have completely lost room to move.

At that time, Du An only needs to keep wielding the chain hammer, which is enough for Fang Rui to barely move in some corners!

Fang Rui still didn't make a move.

The bishops sighed, this man's combat experience is too bad, isn't it?

Even the knights shook their heads and sighed, and they began to feel that even if they defeated such an opponent, it would not be a glorious thing for Duane, who was famous in the knights' guild.

Duane's steps are huge, and with almost every step he takes, he will step half a foot away.

The distance of fifty zhang is only a hundred steps.

In the eyes of others, the completion of this hundred steps is when Fang Rui's time in the ring has reached the end.

Du An approached Fang Rui step by step, and Fang Rui still stretched out his bow and arrows, not moving like a mountain - although he was now like this, in everyone's opinion, he was frightened by Du Rui's momentum.

The hammer whirred in the air, and Duane's voice rang out.

"Jump out of the ring yourself, I won't hurt you. ”

Fang Rui laughed, and then he shook his head very firmly.

Duane never spoke again.

The flying chain hammer suddenly slammed in the air, and then like a poisonous snake, it flew towards Fang Rui!

Such a heavy chain hammer, when Du An swung it out, was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning, and approached Fang Rui in an instant!

Fang Rui's body suddenly became lighter.

He jumped to his feet and dodged the blow from Duane.

Then, as he jumped, the arrow that had been on the longbow for a long time was shot!
