"So, what do you want to say when you came to me?"

On the walls of Severcro, Theodore and Aaron were alone, and not far from the castle was filled with laughter and laughter—a great celebration was taking place.

"The castle now has good wine, food, warm beds, and pretty girls, and it's more suitable for you now, isn't it?, or are you going to bring me here to see the view?" Diodore looked at the shy young knight in front of him with a sly smile, and handed him a glass of wine: "If that's the case, then I'll have to say I'm sorry." ”

"......" Aaron blushed, kept hesitating under his feet, looked back and forth, opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say a word, his hands fiddled back and forth, not knowing where to put it.

“...... I'm sorry."

"What?!" Theodore narrowed one eye, made a casual look, and deliberately poked his head forward: "I'm sorry I didn't hear it!"

"I said, I'm sorry. Aaron had no choice but to raise his voice, and when he said this, he immediately lowered his head again, and said nothing.

"If that's what you're trying to say, then all I can say is that I'm wrong about you. Theodore looked cold, his eyes stood up and glanced at Aaron: "That means that you have lost trust in me, but I have always trusted you so much, including this zuihou's counterattack, I think you must be able to understand my intentions, so I deliberately did not tell you, because I believe you will understand!"

The more Theodore spoke, the more Aaron's head sank, and he sank to the tip of his toes.

But when he looked up, he found himself in Theodore's arms.

"But you are worthy of a knight, my friend. Theodore's tone suddenly became lighter, and he hugged Aaron's head with both hands, and his lips were close to his ear: "You are a good knight, there is no doubt about that!"

"So I don't blame you, because none of us can predict the future and the end, the fear of the unknown is indeed frightening, but it is also a test, so let's go and accept that test!"

"Aaron Brennus, I'm friends with your father, so I'm your friend too, trust me!"

"Of course, my friend. ”

Aaron's eyes looked at the smiling Theodore in front of him without blinking.

"So now let's hurry back, I'm sure those people must have been waiting for a long time. Theodore smiled and walked down the stairs first, turning to look at Aaron, who was stunned: "I think I can eat a whole roast goose, I'm dying of hunger!"

"Then there must be left!" Aaron also laughed and joked with Theodore, "They will definitely eat not a single chicken leg left!"

"My lord, there's a flag!"

The herald on the side suddenly stood up and pointed out of the city wall: "There's a flag there!"

"Let me see!"

Theodore walked back up to the wall and stood on the edge of the parapet and looked out.

"What's that?" Aaron asked.

"Malbert's banner, Red Hound!" Theodore looked at puzzledly, "Orcs?"

"What do they want to do?" Aaron looked curiously at the fluttering flag on the other side, "At this time. ”

"I don't know, but it won't be a good thing. Theodore said to himself, "Go and let the herald blow the trumpet and call everyone." ”

"You want to let them come?"

"Of course, at least for now we are on the winning side. Theodore nodded, "Even if we don't mean to talk to them about anything!"

Theodore turned his head to look at the castle with a lively cheer, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I hope they haven't been too drunk, or they'll lose their identity. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The savage orc stood there with a fierce and vigilant face, and beside it stood a scrawny, trembling ordinary person, looking at a group of lords with a crying voice.

Under the central city gate, many knights were fully armed in a circle, guarding against any possible movements of the orc, and the lords stood in front of this pair of "partners", thoughtful.

"I think it's better to let them know what they mean first. Salald was the first to suggest: "At least we can know what to do next." ”

"So. Theodore took the initiative to step forward: "Explain your purpose and purpose! ”

"Wow-Roar-Wow-Roar-&......%......&W@%&¥%......#¥%"

............

“...... I think I know it's weishenme must bring someone here. Best affirmed, "Translate!"

"Uh-huh......" the surrounding lords immediately nodded in agreement.

“...... Ladies and gentlemen. The man trembled, almost on his knees, his jaw trembling: "It's ...... It says...... It says that its leaders will make a decisive decision with you, and that it will decide, and decide......"

"Duel?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" nodded repeatedly.

"Weishenme?!" a lord held his head high and took a step forward: "Now we are the victorious side, it should be them kneeling and praying for our mercy!"

"Roar-hey-hey-*&......%¥¥%¥%¥#¥#¥@¥@#@#......&*"

"It, it said, if you don't want to, then that and that......" The more the man spoke, the more trembling it became, Zuihou simply knelt directly on the ground, tears couldn't stop flowing down, and a sharp howl burst out: "They're going to kill everyone!!!!"

"Everyone?" asked Theodore, "how many?!"

"I don't know, I can't count it!!" knelt on the ground and kept crawling forward, grabbed Theodore's trousers, and hugged them tightly in his arms, his withered arms like iron cables.

"Please!! my daughter is only four years old this year!!!" The cry continued, tears mixed with sludge, making him look even dirtier, and his thin face was even deformed, with an indescribable misery: "Please!!"

"I'll do it for you! I'll do any job! I'll do it for you for the rest of your life! Promise!! my daughter is only four years old!! only four years old!!

The desolate and mournful cry spread a sad atmosphere around him, and Salald couldn't bear to close his eyes to prevent tears from flowing.

"These brutes!" Malbert scolded suddenly, one arm on crutches and kept nodding, "If we had driven them all out and there would have been nothing left for a long time?!"

"Don't chase the poor, Malbert. Brenus interrupted him: "If that's the case, we'll lose a lot!"

"Cut!"

Theodore shook his head, slowly squatted down, and stared at the withered man in front of him without blinking: "Stand up!"

“？”

"Stand up, I mean you! Stand up, if you want me to say yes. Theodore dragged him almost by force, and his hands were so hard that he was on the verge of crushing his bones.

"Tell it, now. Theodore said in a deep tone: "I, Theodore Julian, lord of the Romans and owner of Caesarea, accept its challenge!"

"Caesar!"

Valens was the first to rush out, grabbed Theodore's arm and pulled him back: "Caesar!"

"And, today, now!" Diodore did not even glance back at the anxious Valence behind him, but continued: "You just reply to it!"

As if knowing that this reply was not easy to come by, he hurried back without even having time to respond.

"Caesar!" Valens almost shouted.

"I know, Valence, but don't say it now. Theodore held the long sword at his waist and said calmly, "It's just a choice. ”

"We could have had more options. Salald came up and whispered in Theodore's ear, "But you have chosen the most stupid one!"

"It seems that this time we have a different view. Theodore smiled slyly, "Then will you still help me?"

“...... Of course!" Salald nodded as it should be.

"Well, I've said yes. We will have a duel with them to decide the life and death of our fellow citizens. Theodore drew the long sword at his waist and held it flat in front of him: "Who wants to go with me?!"

"......," Valence said, resting his sword on it without saying a word.

"I don't agree with it, but I won't go against the honor of knights. Salad put his short-handled axe on it: "Count me in!"

"It's supposed to be a Savincro thing. Best muttered, drawing his saber, "Of course I'm going!"

"The black falcon won't back down, count me in. Brenus pouted, and a heavy sword rested on it.

"Of course there is me!" Aaron was not to be outdone.

"There's a falcon, and so are the dogs!" said Malbert, sriggling his sword.

Soon, almost all the lords stood up, and at this time no one dared to back down, and at this point, if they showed their weakness, it would be the most stupid fool.

“xiexie...... Xiexie gentlemen...... "Weeping silently at the weapons that were put together, the man knelt on the ground and cried, "I—I will definitely give you masters...... Do a lifetime of work!!!"

"If only we could win. Theodore tilted his head and looked at him with a grin: "Forget about the serfs, let's be a decent person!"

..................

The sun was setting, the wind was blowing up dust, there was not a trace of clouds in the sky, and the blood-red sun was reflected on the people, pulling out a long back.

The men on each side stood in a long line, leaving a distance of four hundred meters between the two sides - this was to prevent no one side from trying to sneak attack, especially the archers on the coalition side.

"It reminds me of the arena. Valence whispered, "However, this is the first time I have had the opportunity to see such a gladiatorial fight. ”

"We are all deciding in a stupid way what the fate of both sides will be. Theodore smiled wryly and glanced at Valens, "But it's the most haode way." ”

"If every war can be won by a duel, it is simply the most perfect war on this shijie - everyone is a hero!"

"Everyone, too, are stupid!"

Valence didn't intend to make any comments on Theodore's "Wonderful Words", but kept staring at the other side's every move, and the sword in his hand did not let go for a moment.

"How are they going to duel us?" said Salald looked at the other side curiously, "One-on-one?" or something else?"

"I don't know, but there must be no horsemanship and swordsmanship. Theodore replied jokingly, then pointed to the opposite side: "Look!

The orc, dressed in a thick heavy shirt and chain mail, and holding a long-handled battle axe in his hand, walked up step by step, his burly figure was like a small mountain, making a "bump-bump-" sound on the ground, and it was followed by two fellows who were not much smaller than it, following it closely, like a knight following behind his master.

"Roar-Human-!!!"

As soon as it opened its mouth, the coalition forces were startled, and they looked at its incredible mouth in disbelief.

"Come on—!!!"

"It's the first time I've seen an orc who can speak a human language. Theodore stepped forward slightly: "Or are there many orc leaders who know the human language as well as you?!Tell me, we can have a fair duel with you!"

"Whoa—I know you, purple-haired!" it said, pointing to the horsehair helmet above Theodore's head, "it's you!"

"I'll give you two choices, human!" The mocking eyes were inconspicuous, and the foul mouth showed dark brown teeth: "Two!"

"I have three hundred of the best tribes, and you have three hundred!

"Or, fight me to the death!" The mockery in its eyes intensified: "Kill me, and my clan will be gone!"

..................

"Let me go!" Seeing the hesitation of the people around him, Salald couldn't help but stand up: "We decided to duel with them for unnecessary sacrifices, didn't we?"

"No, you're too much of a loser with it!" Theodore shook his head: "It's the same with an axe, you can't win it!"

"What then?!" Salald grumbled, "Do you want our knights to fight them one by one?!"

"Then I'll go!" Best said decisively, "This is supposed to be a matter of Severcrowe!"

"Ladies and gentlemen!" a deep, young voice came from behind, causing everyone to turn around involuntarily.

The young priest nodded slightly, his swarthy face looked indifferent, stepped forward, fell on one knee before Theodor, and stroked his chest.

"Please leave it to me. ”

"For your courage, I have to appreciate, but the young priest. Salald couldn't bear to say: "This is not a contest of belief in the gods, but a duel, the knight is a knight, the priest is a priest, the two cannot be confused!"

Theodore helped him up: "Give your reasons." ”

"In Caesarea, there are only two people who know the killing technique of two-handed swordsmanship. The priest calmly said, "One of them is Lord Constantine, and the other is below." ”

"Your Excellency is a good knight or a good soldier, but the fighting style you are proficient in is only suitable for the battlefield, not for duels. The priest glanced around and bowed slightly.

"Are you sure?"

"Mars, the god of war, taught me nothing but doctrine, spirituality, and philosophy. The priest stood up gently: "It's how to kill." ”

..................

The orc leader squinted his eyes and stared closely at the little man walking from the opposite side, the unstrained pace of the other party alerting it.

Dressed in leather armor, with a pair of legging sandals on his feet, he didn't have too much defense. He held two one-handed swords in his hands, and two more at his waist, stuck in sheaths.

"I, duel with you. ”

"Roar―――――――――― roar ―――――!!!!!!!"

"Victory---!!! Victory---!!!Victory---!!!"

Cheers came from both sides, but they soon died down, and they reverted to their original deathly silence.

"Only after the exchange of names, whether victorious or defeated, can they receive the blessing of our god Mars. The young priest nodded at it slightly: "Chief Priest of the God of War, Kaisso." ”

"Roar---Helenber-!!!!!!"

"So. The dark-skinned priest still had an extremely cold expression, and his eyes were gloomy: "Let's start!"

(Zuihou climax finally sounds, tsk, did anyone think that this would be the end?Guess what, in what way Kaisso will win?Leave a message in the book review section and guess correctly and reward thirty experience.)
