Chapter 138: Robbery of Prisoners on the School Grounds
The martial arts battle on the school field continued, and the duel between the two captains of the two knights, who symbolized the strongest combat power of the Knight Order of the Reims Kingdom, was in a stalemate. Roger misses almost every blow, but not a single blow can penetrate Schroeder's full body armor. Roger continued to choose to spin in circles, and kept stabbing and stabbing back, occasionally retreating, dragging the beast into action. Due to the protruding design of the two shoulders of the armor, which severely limited the ability to observe, Schroeder was never able to keep him in view. With his sword and speed, Roger put this to good use.
And so it was a stalemate for a long time. They came and went in circles around the school grounds. Schroeder's greatsword misses again and again, and Roger's longsword stabbed him in the arm, thigh, and even in the shoulder twice. Schroeder's greatsword also slashed the long sword several times, and the screeching friction of metal came from the school yard, and the people present could clearly see the sparks splashing everywhere. Schroeder's expression was as relaxed as Roger's, but most of the time he was dullly focused on the fight.
But Roger wasn't silent. "Hey, you know, once you win, Lord Byron will be in a different position. He shouted, bobbing a shot. "Don't fall for Parsa's tricks," he said, dodging a thump from Schroeder's greatsword. "Stand on my side. He shouted, slamming his sword into the beast's throat, only to brush the thick iron armor and make another screeching sound.
"Schroeder looks like he's being tricked by Roger. Ecbeldo commented.
But Parsa disagreed. "You're wrong, Ecbeldor! No one can play tricks on beasts. He deliberately released some flaws to lure Roger, looking for an opportunity to give him a fatal blow!"
Around the schoolyard, people who had stopped to watch crowded towards the two knights, and squeezed forward inch by inch so that they could see it for real. The palace guards pushed with huge drinking shields, trying to maintain order, but unfortunately there were too many people watching the excitement, and some spectators still crowded in.
"Your Excellency, are you saying that Schroeder is looking for an opportunity?" asked Ekbeldo.
"That's right! Of the five captains of our Five Dragons Knights, only Schroeder is known for his strength and endurance. Roger favors technique and speed, while Baio and Byron have a balanced development in terms of strength, speed, and skill. As the name suggests, the Schroeders, like wild beasts, have been waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to their prey. Parsa laughed.
"Looks like you're quite optimistic about Lord Schroeder?"
"Schroeder made the most of the rules of the tournament. Since neither side can use Fighting Qi, then his advantage in stamina will be reflected. If Roger can't rely on his skills to make a quick decision, when the fight continues, Schroeder's chance will come. ”
Roger dodged a slash towards the blade and aimed the tip of his sword at Schroeder's eye, stabbing the beast back. The sword flashed sideways, scraping through the beast's breastplate. But when Roger stabbed, the beast repeatedly slashed at the blade, pushing the tip of the sword downward, but the effort was as tiresome as chopping flies. Schroeder suddenly charged, and Roger jumped out of the way and turned behind him.
"Roger, I just realized that you were so long-winded. Schroeder's movements seemed to have slowed down, and the greatsword was not raised as high as it had been at the beginning of the contest. "Talk less and act more when you're competing. ”
"Hey, you're talking right now. Roger said as he flashed to his right.
"I'm going to fight back," Schroeder took two big strides and slashed at Roger's head. Roger stepped back again.
"Look at the move!" Schroeder shouted, and in the face of the longsword charge, the tip of the sword slammed into his left chest, making a deafening noise and sliding to the side. The beast rushed into range, his greatsword striking in a blur of light. The crowd outside the stadium screamed. Roger dodged the first blow while the sword was retracted, and Schroeder rushed here, the attack useless. The second blow Roger took it sideways with his sword, and the metal collided with the metal, and everyone's ears rang, and Roger shook back. Schroeder was overbearing, roaring and roaring. He didn't say anything, he howled like a beast, and Roger hurriedly retreated, his greatsword slicing just inches from his chest, arms, and head.
"My lord, it seems that Schroeder's preparations are complete!"
But Roger rolled on the spot and got back to his feet, sword in hand. The beast turned, but he felt himself sweat splattered from head to toe. Schroeder constantly launched an offensive and continued to advance...... At this time, for the first time, the sun peeked through the dense clouds.
Hopefully this is the dawn of Roger's victory, Byron told himself, but it was Schroeder who made the first move, and he left the sun behind him. After all, as the head of the Red Dragon Knights, he has the instinct of a warrior.
Roger curled up, aim, stabbed again. Schroeder slashed at the sword, but Roger's stab was merely a flicker. The beast lost its balance and staggered forward.
Roger suddenly grasped the long sword with both hands, raised it in front of his eyes, and pointed the back of the sword at his opponent, and a strong and dazzling beam of sunlight reflected on the polished metal and rushed into Schroeder's eyes. Schroeder hurriedly raised his giant sword against the dazzling light. Roger sprang out, like lightning, and the long sword stabbed into the gap in the heavy plate armor, into the interface between the shoulder and the neck guard. Schroeder quickly raised his arm to parry the sword.
"It seems that the two of them will be inseparable for a while!" Ekbel yawned. Parsa remained silent and watched the situation quietly.
Just as the battle between the two was in the white-hot stage, suddenly, there were several screams from the sidelines, and suddenly thundered.
Everyone present was panicked by this sudden change. "Not good, sir! Look at Byron. Ecbeldo shouted. He seems to have discovered something. It turned out that the screams just now came from the guards who were in charge of guarding Byron. They seemed to have been struck by lightning and fell to the ground in agony.
At this time, Roger and Schroeder also stopped fighting and turned their eyes to Byron's side. "Yes, yes...... It's Jona, thunder and lightning magic, yes, it must be them. Ecberdo shouted, and three mysterious men in brown robes suddenly appeared next to Byron. "Hmph, I didn't expect them to be so bold as to dare to rob prisoners in this place. Parsa stood up, "Almost all of the strongest combat forces of the Five Dragon Knights of the Lance Kingdom are in this school field, and they are undoubtedly here to die. ”
"Jona, Fanny, Syruph, why are you here?" Byron quickly recognized his companions. "Of course I'm here to save you, Captain!" the leader lifted her hood, and her blonde hair stood out, revealing that she was none other than the legendary mage of Parsa in the Reims Kingdom, the Thunder Protector.
"I am innocent, and if I leave with you like this, it will be tantamount to admitting that I am the murderer of the king. Byron said, "I'm sure Roger can win." ”
"But we don't trust that Parsa guy. I think even if Roger wins, he'll use other methods to kill you. Jona waved and asked Fanny and Siruph to leave with Byron. Although Byron sternly refused, he had no choice but to give in because he was trapped in shackles all over his body.
"Don't you Golden Dragon Knights have any men? With a wave of Parsa's hand, several magicians of the Black Dragon Knights surrounded him.
"Parsa, don't underestimate women. Jona and Fanny raised their staffs at the same time, and the light of thunder and lightning continued to flash, and the school field was filled with the sound of explosions.
"My lord, shall we come forward and arrest this traitor?" asked Wren and Yelena on the platform, facing Bai Ao.
"Hmph, leave him alone, I don't care to do anything with women. Bai Ao said calmly. Wren and Elena saw that Bai Ao was not ready to make a move, so they also sat back in their seats.
"Don't be stunned, let's all go up together and get rid of this gang of traitors. Parsa shouted.
"Ha Luha, another group of people, it seems that today we can finally have a happy fight with vindictiveness. Although they are all women, I will not be soft. Schroeder laughed, ready to rush to Byron's side.
"Hehe, we're not done yet. Suddenly, Roger's sword crossed and blocked Schroeder's way.
