The venue of the duel was set up in the square behind the banquet hall.

According to the construction standards of the Haysting Solo Arena, this is the inside of a circle with a radius of twenty meters, and a trench about two or three meters deep has been dug around the circle, and the wood is stacked inside, and when it comes to the duel, it will be poured with oil, and it will be lit after the duel begins, and the flames will block the retreat of the duelists, of course, because one of the protagonists today is His Royal Highness the Prince, so the process of igniting the fire has been abandoned.

Outside the trench is a circular stepped building, which is a special spectator stand, on which the dueling watchers can sit and see every detail of the dueling arena without hindrance, except for the north-south passage that divides the circular spectator seats into symmetrical halves, and the passage is connected to the dueling arena by a chain bridge, which crosses the trench as an entrance passage for both sides of the dueling.

Dressed in black, Gell stood in a circle of death, waiting for his dueling opponent to appear.

Behind him sat his companions, members of the Church, and some of the neutral nobles, while opposite him were most and most of the Anslin family members of the guests, who were conflicted internally, but had the same attitude towards outsiders.

Fortunately, Salorath and the Seventeen Princesses were still on his side, otherwise I don't know if anything would have happened to the Dao.

"I'm so sorry, I'm going to trouble you again this time. ”

Camelrita walked up to Gehr with Epheros in her arms, bent down and saluted, handing Epheros to Gehr in a ritual-like motion.

"It's okay, it's a challenge to me, and I'm not going to run away from it. It's the pride of a warrior, and it's okay with you. Gell took the rune sword. He bowed back to the goddess and smiled very calmly.

"Anyway. You have given me help, which I owe you, and ...... Be careful. ”

The goddess walked away, Gehr turned his head and looked up at his audience, and glanced at it, his face was still calm and unwavering, and he looked confident, but the doubts in his heart still had not been answered.

After making a pact in the hall for a duel in front of the gods, Gehr had a brief contact with Salorath, and that was during that time. The message she conveyed to him Huo Ran was to kill the other party!

Kill her brother, His Royal Highness the Princely of the Principality of Haysting?

Even Gehr felt that this kind of request was too unexpected.

However, just as Gehr wanted to communicate with Salorath again in order to verify her true thoughts, the two lost the opportunity to continue communicating due to the proximity of the others, and neither of them had a chance to get close until they entered the dueling arena.

But when Gehr looked back at his audience, hoping to judge by the look on Salorath's face whether she had misunderstood what she had conveyed. He found that Salorath, who had been staying by the side of the Seventeen Princesses, was missing.

To that end, Gehr looked around the entire audience again, and made sure that Salorath was indeed not present in the stands.

The reason why Gehr agreed to this duel was not only because Ursula had directly challenged him by name, but as a warrior who was extremely confident in his own combat skills, he would never refuse such a challenge, otherwise he would back down. The invincible confidence that he had brought with a series of victories would have caused a rift in his future martial arts, and he had never thought that he would lose such a thing.

On the other hand. Considering that tomorrow he and his team would go to Emlock with the Seventeen Princesses and the people of the Ingrid Church, and calculated that it would take more than a month to go back and forth. The time he had agreed with Salorath had passed, and there was no need to go back to Haysting. So even if you offend a prince, there's nothing to worry about, and when the time comes, will Ursula still be able to run to San Rotalo to find him?

But now that Salorath is asking Gell to kill Ursula directly, that's another matter.

If he killed the other party in a duel, he would not be legally responsible, but Gehr would not be naïve to think that the Anslin family would swallow this breath and let go of himself as a guy who dared to slaughter members of the royal family, which was already related to the dignity of the family that ruled a country, even if there was Salorath's protection at that time, Gehr did not think that she would be able to keep herself, and she might even affect her companions.

But why would Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess make such a request?

Is there anything else you can't think of happening?

Gehr used his sword as a staff and pondered as he waited for his opponent to arrive.

Clang...... Clang...... Clang......

A deafening sound interrupted Geral's thoughts.

The gong placed outside the trench was struck by a strong man with a naked upper body, and Qingyue's voice resounded throughout the dueling arena, and the large pile of wood that had been temporarily piled up was also ignited at the same time, and the strong light suddenly illuminated the field where Gehr was located, and reflected his side face in red copper.

At this moment, Gehr noticed that a graceful figure appeared beside the seventeen princesses, it was Salorath, who had not been seen before, but at this time she deliberately wore a thin veil to hide her face in the mist.

However, at this point, Gell had no time to pay attention to the late Salorath.

Geer's opponent, His Royal Highness the Prince of Haysting, walked through the dark aisle with the sound of a gong, and came from the shadows to the light.

Ursula is about the same size as Gehr, but looks much better than Gehr. His light red armor shimmered brightly in the reflection of the firelight, encircling a strong body made of perfect muscular lines, and his golden thread-like hair was haphazardly tied with silver strips of cloth and draped behind him, like a heroic knight who challenged the evil dragon in legend.

As soon as he appeared, he ushered in the cheers of some aristocratic girls, compared to the very popular Prince His Royal Highness, Gehr is like a standard villain, such as putting on a template for an evil warrior who blocks the love of princes and girls, I believe that many of the girls present are in the brain, Gehr is like this.

When Ursula arrived at the venue and stood face to face with Gehr, the sound of the gong immediately became more and more rapid.

The duel is about to begin.

Bigel's two-handed sword, Ursula chose a wide one-handed sword and a rectangular shield, under the light of the fire, both of them had no expression on their faces, from this point of view, Ursula is not at all inferior to the battle-experienced Gehr, when stepping on the battlefield, all unnecessary feelings will be abandoned, so as not to affect their own play.

As for Gehr, he had completely forgotten about Salorath, and his attention was all focused on the battle. As for whether to choose to be ruthless or keep your hand, this is a ridiculous question in an all-out battle.

Probably because of a sudden night wind, Lucarine couldn't help but shiver. She turned her head and asked Salorath, who was not far away.

"Your Highness, that Highness Ursula is quite tough, isn't it?"

"Brother Ursula is the strongest in the Ainslin family except for Big Brother Flomien, he was not below the knight level in the years of the mercenary trial, and he killed a total of six knight-level masters, this is only what can be checked, and the actual record should be more. It was the Seventeen Princesses who answered, and Salorath still watched the field quietly, without any reaction.

"Rest assured, you should have faith in Gehr. Camerita's cold voice came over at once, causing Lucarin's expression to soothe her more worried expression after hearing the words of the Seventeenth Princess.

The seventeenth princess also heard the words of the goddess official, looked at her a little strangely, and did not continue to say anything, as if the seriousness of an adult covered her immature face, and her eyes fell on the two people in the field. One was the protector that Salorath had appointed to her, and the other was her brother, looking at the two of them, the seventeen princesses at this time did not have any superfluous expressions, making it impossible to see what was hidden in her young body.

Lucarin cast her eyes a little farther away, past the two people facing each other in the field, and came to the stands opposite, only to see the place where the royal family members were gathered, it seemed that the atmosphere was not bad, and it was obvious that they were also very confident in Ursula.

Feelings of unease and regret began to seep into Lucarin's heart, and she regretted that she had not stopped Gehr's actions, although she knew in her heart that such a stop would not do much for a warrior like Gehr.

At this moment, a hand like a warm jade took Lucarin's hand.

It's Carmelita.

The sound of the gong stopped abruptly at this point.

For a moment, the field was unusually quiet, except for the continuous violent crackling sound of the flames licking the wood.

The eldest prince Flomien rose from his seat.

"Now the duel in front of the gods that has been decided will begin. The outcome of the duel is sacred and inviolable, and neither side can disagree. ”

As the person with the exception of Salorath, Flomien was the highest-ranking of all the people present, and since Salorath's female status was not suitable for the job, the powerful Grand Prince fulfilled this duty.

"I declare, the duel begins!"

Gehr put Epheros in front of the god and put on a stance, and Ursula on the opposite side was also ready.

"I won't spare my hand in this fight, please forgive me. Ursula lifted the shield to the lower edge of the bridge of her nose, revealing only the upper part, and her right sword was hidden behind her side, like a viper about to attack.

"That's what I'm trying to say. Gerr sleek, and the tip of Epheros's sword arced slowly, aiming between Ursula's eyes.

A dangerous atmosphere began to permeate the field.

In an instant, the breathing of the spectators became extremely subtle, staring at the two people in the field without blinking.

Suddenly, a strange strong wind blew, and the illuminated fire shook violently, and the faces of the two men in the field instantly began to switch between shadows and firelight mapping.

Murderous aura pierced the darkness.

Whew!

There was a churn of dust on the sandy field.

The two warriors approached in an instant, their blades blaming off the light, cutting through the darkness and heading towards their opponents.

The next moment, the sound of metal clashing reflected in all directions, and sparks flew around the blade.

The two swords flashed and intertwined.

From the very beginning, the duel reached its climax. (To be continued......)
