Having annihilated the defenders, the Knights smashed the steppe stronghold, where they were bound to wipe them out.

After a terrible battle, the steppe people had no more usable soldiers, and the Heavenly Father gathered all the remaining combat strength, and the total number of men could not be gathered by 3,000, most of whom were wounded who had retreated from the front line.

On the other hand, the Knights were full of momentum and elite, not only with the help of white ravens in the air, but also with five chariots equipped with magic cannons on the ground.

There is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, and although the final battle has not yet begun, the outcome has long been doomed.

Heavenly Father's horizontal sword immediately stood outside the door of the stronghold, looking at the Knights of Linfeng galloping in front of him, his eyes were faint like a well that could not be seen to the end.

He knew it was a send-off, but it was something he had to do.

It was he who personally pushed the Lebs into the abyss of war, and as the leader, he should bear the responsibility for the defeat.

Even if it has failed, as long as the knights delay here for a little longer, the remaining Lebuses people behind them will be able to escape even further.

Maybe you'll be able to escape the hunt and start your life again somewhere outside of the Peak Realm.

Soon, Ryan led the Knights outside the stronghold to confront the Father.

Although it was the first time for the two of them to meet, they could both understand from each other's momentum that the other party was an eighth-order knight of equal strength to themselves, and they were also the strongest of the two forces.

"I am Khan Luo, the Father, the king of the tribe of Lebs."

The Heavenly Father rode his horse and said, "O general of Peak City, come and duel with me!" ”

He was not proficient in Roland, and spoke in a strange tone.

"Duel?" Ryan shouted angrily, "You are also worthy of the barbarian, who is full of evil!" ”

The Roland people have a tradition of "duels" since ancient times, and in order to defend their honor, dignity and all other noble and holy things, in the presence of others, the two sides can engage in a solitary duel without being disturbed by the outside world.

This tradition dates all the way back to before the founding of the Empire, and it is not uncommon for famous duels to be fought in history.

In the past, it was true that when two forces were at war, in order to avoid meaningless sacrifices, each side decided to send a general to duel in front of the battle to decide who won and who lost.

However, the scale of such battles is not too large, and the two sides are usually of higher status, willing to decide the victory or defeat in a more civilized form, highlighting one point to the end.

And the war between the steppe people and the city of Peak obviously does not apply to this scenario.

From the very beginning, they had a hateful attitude towards Linfeng City, not only burning, killing and looting, knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow, but also never hiding the extreme idea that after Linfeng City was broken, they would slaughter all the Roland people.

Such barbaric acts can be counted as cruelty throughout human history.

It was their baring fangs that woke Peak City from decades of peace and civility, realizing that this was a war to the death, and that if they wanted to survive, they had to kill each other.

So they fought back and, after many sacrifices, finally cornered this savage enemy, and were only one step away from final victory.

Now, the army of Peak City was about to overwhelm the invaders, but the invaders said to them in a mocking voice: Let's have a duel, shall we?

Hey, it turns out that the steppe people are still so chivalrous?

Obviously, he treated civilians cruelly in the war, used despicable and obscene methods such as spies, and now he is dying and still uses the rhetoric of duel, and he doesn't know which three-year-old child he is going to deceive.

Ryan certainly knew that this was a stopgap measure by the Heavenly Father to delay the battle, and his real purpose was to buy time for the evacuation of his people.

He doesn't deserve to be the object of his duel, and this serious war shouldn't be brought down with a duel as childish drama.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, with the current combat strength of Linfeng City, you can steadily eat the opponent, why do you have to duel with the opponent and do so many bells and whistles?

Today, he led the Knights here in person, with only one purpose, that is, to complete revenge and annihilate all future threats to Peak City.

He looked coldly at Heavenly Father and his remnants a hundred paces away, and swung his sword forward:

"Attack!"

"Boom-"

Five chariots lined up, aiming their muzzles out of the side windows at the enemy in front of them, while the knights began to draw their bows and fire volleys, and the mages who accompanied them began to cast spells.

Seeing that the request for a duel was denied, the Heavenly Father raised his head to the sky and roared, he pulled the reins and drove his horse to charge Ryan.

From the perspective of the steppe troops, the back of his charge towards the knights was so tragic.

The magic cannon unleashed the spell, and the tongue of fire of the "Heavenly Burning Flame" was the first to spray into his body.

The armor on his body is obviously not ordinary, he uses his arms to protect his face, and at the same time uses magic to form a layer of protection on the surface of his skin, and he can withstand the heat in a short period of time in the midst of the fire.

However, he can resist high-level spells, but the war horse under him cannot, the war horse was burned to death in an instant, he fell to the ground and rolled up, and continued to rush towards Ryan with a body of fire.

But this was only the beginning of the attack, and the knight's rain of arrows and the mage's spells followed, and countless attacks such as sharp arrows, scorching fireballs, sharp ground stabs, and swift wind blades completely blocked his path.

Countless attacks smashed on his body, and he could withstand so much damage in an instant, even the physical fitness of an eighth-order knight could hardly withstand it.

His armor cracked under the continuous attacks, and the protection formed by the magic power was also destroyed, and his body was instantly riddled with holes, and he was irreversibly damaged.

This is war, even if the Heavenly Father, who is as strong as an eighth-order knight, is suppressed by the firepower of an entire knight order, he has experienced the weakness and powerlessness of his personal strength.

The distance between him and Ryan was not too far, and at his speed, it would only take two breaths to cross this distance, but under the siege of the entire knights and the five magic cannons, this distance seemed like the end of the world to him at this time.

He was hit by several arrows, and under the baptism of many spells, his skin was open, his body was covered in blood, and his face was as hideous as a ghost.

Even so, he still held on and rushed forward in great strides, as if he could achieve the final victory as long as he reached Ryan.

When he finally rushed to Ryan ten paces away, the pressure on his body suddenly lightened, and the distance between the two was already close, and if the rear troops attacked again, it might affect Ryan.

Ryan looked at the Heavenly Father who was rushing towards him with his life, and his face was also serious, and he slowly pulled out the knight's sword at his waist.

The full force of the eighth-order knight's blow should not be underestimated by anyone.

"Death!"

The secret art of the Lebuse clan drove the magic power in his body to work quickly, and the machete in the Heavenly Father's hand seemed to be smeared with a layer of blood at this moment, turning red and bright.

High-level Skill "Blood Sacrifice Blade": By burning the flesh energy in the body, it instantly breaks through the upper limit of its own mana output and performs a powerful slash.

And just as he was using his combat skills and preparing to attack Ryan, an astonishing elemental fluctuation suddenly came from above his head.

The Knights behind Ryan temporarily halted their attacks for fear of affecting allies, but Yuna had no worries.

She found an angle in the sky that wouldn't accidentally hurt Ryan, and fired a "beam of destruction" in the direction of her father's travel.

In order to pass through the Knights' firepower as soon as possible, the Heavenly Father moved very upright, that is, he charged straight in the direction of Ryan, even without sights, he could easily predict his route.

Even now you have to get in the way of me, White Raven!

Sensing that the white raven was locking onto him, the Heavenly Father's eyes were torn.

The intuition of the Eighth-Order Knight is quite keen, and the "Destruction Beam" is not like a large-scale attack like the "Heavenly Burning Flame".

As long as he deliberately dodges, he actually has time to dodge with his skills.

But at this point he was about to go head-to-head with Ryan, a blow he had been gathering for a long time, and the outcome of that blow would determine who would have the upper hand in the fight.

If you dodge urgently at this time, not only will you lose the opportunity, but the "Blood Sacrifice Blade" will not be able to slash at Ryan at the strongest moment when the mana is full, and your battle rhythm will be completely disrupted.

But he didn't have a choice, he rushed over with arrows and mages all the way, and he no longer had the capital to resist a high-level attack spell.

The beam of destruction fell from the sky, and at the last moment, he stopped rushing forward and twisted to the side.

The beam grazed his body and hit the ground, blasting a deep crater in the grassland.

Barely dodging the beam of light, he raised his machete and swung the "Blood Sacrifice Blade" at Ryan.

Under the burning of flesh and blood energy, the magic power he condensed has already formed an entity, and this move "Blood Sacrifice Blade" can even break away from the weapon and hurt people in the form of sword qi in the air.

However, the sword qi form of the "Blood Sacrifice Blade" will quickly lose its magic power the moment it leaves its hand, and its power is undoubtedly a notch less powerful than the attack method attached to the weapon.

In the face of Heavenly Father's hasty attack, Ryan raised his left arm shield and made the most perfect defensive posture.

As the leader of the Knights and the strongest person in Linfeng City, the equipment on his body was not worse than that of the Heavenly Father, and the arm shield blocked this sword qi without any suspense.

He immediately let out a deep sigh and leaped from his horse, his right-handed knight's sword shining with magic power, and slashed at the head of the Heavenly Father with the posture of Mount Tai.

"Bell—"

The blades clashed, and the Father resisted with all his sword, and then retreated under Lane's continued pressure.

The real strength of the two is actually not much different, and if the two sides duel fairly, I am afraid it will be really difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

But after forcibly crossing the fire net of the knights, he was already injured a lot, and even the trick that he swung with all his might was temporarily interrupted by the white raven, and his power was greatly reduced, without causing the slightest pressure on Ryan.

On the other hand, Ryan was able to calmly launch an attack in his heyday, and under the influence of huge off-court factors, it was no suspense to be suppressed.

But what can be done, the off-the-field advantage is also obtained by yourself.

This is not a duel, but a war.

War is not fair, only about victory or defeat.

The game between the eighth-order knights is extremely dangerous, one wrong step is a wrong step, and the two are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they will never let go of any mistake of the opponent, nor will they give the opponent any chance to turn the tables.

Once Ryan got the upper hand, he used his rich combat experience to quickly snowball his advantage, and soon added several deep sword wounds to his Heavenly Father.

As the blades intersected again, the Heavenly Father, who was close to exhaustion, finally couldn't resist his incessant continuous attacks, and the machete in his hand was shaken open by the knight's sword, and the door was empty for a while.

Ryan's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he grasped the flaw, and the blade advanced again, piercing through the Heavenly Father's battle-scarred breastplate, and submerging half of the sword into his chest!

"Poof!"

The powerful magic power of the eighth-order knight penetrated through his body, and immediately wrenched his internal organs into pieces, and the Heavenly Father spat out a mouthful of blood with wide eyes, and his momentum instantly withered.

"You should die, butcher."

Ryan said coldly, "I will put your head in front of the tombstone of the victim, and your blood will be used to pay tribute to the compatriots who died in Linfeng City-

"As for the Lebuses, all of them will pay the price for your foolish decision, which is the bitter fruit of your own hands, and repent to your fellow citizens in hell!"

As the words fell, Ryan drew his knight's sword and slashed at his neck.

The sword was also clean, and in front of everyone, the Father's head was cut off in public.

Seeing this situation, the remaining steppe warriors all looked disillusioned, their faces showed despair, and they lost the last trace of their will to resist.

"Forward!"

Ryan grabbed the Father's head and raised his arms and shouted, "Until we have completely recovered our territory and completely destroyed my enemies, our blades will not be sheathed, and we will continue to move on!" ”

"Yes!"

"Forward, forward!"

The Knights let out an earth-shattering shout, their high-spirited iron hooves tapping across the steppe, and continued to advance forward.

High in the sky, Yuna lowered the magic cannon, first breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed softly unconsciously.

"What's wrong?"

Nolan noticed her sigh and quickly guessed the reason, "Haven't found your enemy yet, have you?" ”

The Heavenly Father is dead, the last of the steppe people's armed forces have been wiped out, and the war is about to end.

But Yuna hasn't met the killer of her hometown in the first place, and perhaps the murderer has died in a previous battle.

"No...... It's nothing. ”

Yuna shook her head, a smile squeezed out from under the raven's mask, "The war is coming to an end, the enemy has been repelled by us, my wish has been fulfilled, so it's good...... That's good. ”

Compared with the situation when the steppe people invaded two months ago and their blood feud could not be avenged, this is the most perfect ending.

Although he failed to save his family, he failed to avenge his blood revenge with his own hands.

But thanks to his own efforts, more people were rescued, and Peak City was completely liberated, and no one would suffer from the war.

That's enough, that's what I really want to achieve.

"Well, let's wrap it up."

Noren bowed, "Go and help the Knights locate the movements of the rest of the steppes, with you, they can't escape from this grassland." ”

A nation that is still obsessed with war in the end is willing to be punished as soon as possible, and no force will be so bold as to let them go back to the mountains and add hidden dangers to their future peace.

After the brutality of the war, even Yuna understood this, and she once again drove the winged to hunt for the end of the grassland.

This is also her last mission in this war as a white raven.
