Chapter Ninety-One: Knight Ike
Not to mention how Geralt and the others in front of the broken bridge solved their predicament, Ike Knight, who was at the forefront, had already rushed all the way over the hillside to a small flat field full of weeds and wildflowers.
And just as Ike Knight was considering whether to rush directly across the flat land and follow another path to the cave at the top of the mountain, a voice like a brass horn suddenly came to his ears.
"Ike Knight from Denensler, my name is Villantan Metz."
As the words fell, a golden behemoth suddenly flew down from the sky, landed in the center of the flat less than a hundred meters away from Ike Knight, spread its wings, moved its limbs, and put on a welcome posture that looked quite elegant, while continuing to use his voice, saying:
"Please don't go any further."
"At the end of this path, to the cave where my wife is, as a husband, I have an obligation to guard my wife."
"Anyone who continues to move forward will be my enemy."
"To protect my family, I will have a knightly duel with him in glory, with only traditional weapons, that is, it is forbidden to use magic or breathe fire. Fight until one side surrenders. ”
"Please give me your answer, Ike Knight, are you willing to give up this operation?"
Listening to the voice that came directly into his head, Ike Knight was a little confused, in his almost twenty years of monster killing career, he had never seen a dragon with golden scales all over his body, and he had never seen a monster with such an elegant demeanor and the ability to speak like a gentleman.
However, his confusion lasted less than a few seconds, and was immediately replaced by a firm faith.
The tall, heavily plated knight pushed his face open, revealing a somewhat pale face underneath, his fanatical eyes sparkling.
He shouted at the golden dragon:
"Evil dragon, in front of you is Ike from Denellus, following the will of the gods, the purpose of my trip is to kill the evil dragon and protect the people here."
"Since you have decided to protect your wife, then I will not back down and will have a glorious knightly duel with you."
When the golden dragon heard this, he sighed humanely, and his golden scaly body quickly took on an offensive posture, his slender neck was slightly raised, and the voice like a brass horn sounded again.
"Honorable Ike Knight, I admire your courage, I am ready for everything, now, let this glorious duel begin."
On the battlefield, Ike no longer hesitated, chanting to the sky about the gods he believed in, praying for their blessings, while raising his spear and saluting the golden dragon.
It's a glorious knightly duel, and no matter what the outcome, he'll have to give the other side plenty of respect.
Wayne, who was hidden on another hill, watched all this, and at the same time had to sigh in his heart, this is a knight with real faith, although too old-fashioned and inflexible, but it is much stronger than those noble knights who can only play tricks and have no sense of honor at all.
After praying, Ike put down his metal armor, stared at the huge golden dragon through the gap with his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and suddenly clamped the horse's belly with his stirrup, leaned forward, lowered the spear, and galloped his horse, charging towards the position of the golden dragon.
The war horse dragged his heavy body, moving forward at a very fast speed, wearing armor and armor all over his body, making Ike like a galloping metal can, just one person and one horse, there was also an unstoppable momentum
However, to Ike's surprise, in the face of his strong attack, the golden dragon did not retreat to dodge, nor did he go around behind him, but also rushed towards him at full speed.
Seeing this, he did not blindly attack head-on. Despite moving at full speed, he changed direction at the last minute with great skill, raising his spear over his horse's head. He flew past the dragon as he stood on the stirrup and stabbed his spear with all his might.
Try to get the sharp tip of the spear straight into the dragon's head, using the speed of both sides to kill the terrifying beast in one blow
But what people didn't expect was that this huge golden dragon had a completely unexpected reaction speed.
It spun sideways in a circle at great speed, perfectly dodging the stab, its movements agile and graceful, its huge body withdrawn like a whip, with feline vigor and indifference, and instantly tore open the horse's belly with its claws.
The horsemen stood up and let out a wail.
Although Ike Knight was surprised, he didn't drop his spear. As the horse fell, with a flick of the dragon's claws, he picked up Ike from the saddle.
He was thrown into the air, the armor on his body making a screeching sound, and then fell to the ground so hard that Wayne seemed to be able to hear the impact as he landed, even from a distance of several hundred meters.
In the face of such a high-altitude fall, it is difficult for ordinary people to bear, let alone a knight wearing heavy plate armor all over his body.
Ike Knight was seriously injured in an instant, especially his legs, which were directly broken into fractures, shrunk under his body, and pulled in a strange direction.
However, Ike Knight's will was quite strong, even if the severe pain made his forehead sweat, tremble, and pale, but he did not let out a wail, let out a cry for mercy.
Instead, he stared blankly at the sky, muttering to himself, not knowing what he was saying.
After defeating Ike, the golden dragon showed no mercy, pressed Ike's war horse with his claws, sat on the ground, bit the horse's body with his fanged mouth, directly ripped off the armor draped on the horse, and then bit it on its neck, the horse let out a terrified roar, and finally died of convulsions, and was swallowed into the stomach by the golden dragon.
And on the top of the hillside when Ike came, using the power of spells, the sorceress Yennefer, who flew over the stone bridge, and Geralt and Dandrion, who followed her, all happened to see the scene of Ike Knight challenging the golden dragon.
Looking at the brave and incomparable Ike Knight, he was thrown into the air like a toy by this huge, fierce and elegant golden beast, and fell to the ground, and the scene of life and death was already unknown, all of them had solemn faces.
Unexpectedly, the legendary green dragon didn't see it, and there was actually a golden dragon that should not have appeared in the real world, not only was the size of the green dragon several times larger, but also looking at his movements, there was no clumsiness of the legendary dragon clan at all, but like a skilled warrior, elegant and deadly.
And when the three of them were still in a state of shock, a somewhat shrill voice that almost lost its temper came into their ears.
"Oh my God, I can't believe my eyes, a golden dragon, a living golden dragon."
The magician Dorigare, using the power of spells, also used the power of spells to leap over the stone bridge when he saw the scene of the golden dragon devouring Ike's horse.
This guy didn't care about Ike's life or death at all, but stared at the beautiful golden dragon below with a look that saw a rare treasure, and exclaimed:
"It's so beautiful, this is definitely the only golden dragon in the world, a living golden dragon, only great nature can create such a beautiful and elegant creature."
After saying this, he looked back at Yennefer, Geralt, and Dandrion with a firm and faithful look, and said in a resolute tone:
"Listen, listen, there is a golden dragon standing in front of us, perhaps the only remaining fruit of your cruelty and foolishness. Legend has it that he should not be killed. I will not let you touch this dragon. I see? Give up your thoughts, pack your bags and go home. ”
"This golden dragon, I, Master Dorigare, will definitely protect it."
Ye Naifa didn't care about this madman, although her original goal was the green dragon, and now there was an extra golden dragon that shouldn't have appeared, but for the sorceress who was persistent and restored to her fertility, she didn't care if it was one or two dragons she killed.
And at this moment, a voice like a bronze horn came directly into the brains of the four people on the hillside.
"Ladies and gentlemen on the other side, Ike Knight is a worthy opponent."
"If any of you have what it takes to heal him, please come down and help him."
"Don't worry, I'm a dragon who values honor, and I won't suddenly attack you."
Hearing this voice, everyone on the hillside, including Ye Naifa, couldn't help but look at the golden dragon below.
Borch nodded gracefully at them, then flailed his wings and flew straight away from the place where the battle had taken place, retreating to a small hill a few hundred meters away.
