Hall was paralyzed. He could hardly believe what he heard. Father would not have known that once the duel started, Lei Zhe might take his life at any time. How can the father be willing
The old duke pointed at him and ordered again: "Get dressed, grab your sword, and go to a duel!"
"Dad, I'm going to die! Please help me." Hall begged in a trembling voice, with tears and snot flowing freely.
His embarrassed, ugly, and cowardly appearance aroused deeper disgust from Grande's Knights. It is undoubtedly their disgrace to serve under such people.
The nobles who stood outside the door watching the excitement were also secretly laughing. If the old duke really chooses Hall as his heir, they may join hands to divide up Grande's wealth in the future. Hall, a useless man, is simply incapable of defending such a vast and fertile territory.
The old duke knew what everyone was thinking, and he had realized that Grande's foundation was shaking.
So when the Duchess rushed out of the castle, clasping his arm and begging him not to force her son to a duel, he shoved the woman away.
He pointed to the two male lions standing at the door, his tone grim: "Either duel or lose the heir, you can only choose one. If your mother and I divorce immediately, you will no longer be Grande's eldest son. You will be nothing."
This sentence hit the Duchess and Hall at the same time.
The two froze for a moment, and the idea of trying to pass the test by begging and crying was shattered at this moment. Only then did they know that everything they owned came from the alms of the old duke, and this alms would be withdrawn at any time.
"Dad don't want, I'll go, I'll fight." Hall tried to get up, but fell down several times. He was so frightened that his legs were weak.
The two male servants helped him up under the old duke's signal and sent him into the castle to get dressed.
After a while, Hall, wearing heavy armor, came out with a long sword.
Lei Zhe finally looked back at the other party. Seeing the armor and the long sword clearly, he pouted and cast a mocking look at the old duke.
These two things are my father's treasures, one is indestructible, the other cuts iron like mud. In childhood, Lei Zhe dreamed of having them, but he was not allowed to even touch them.
Father said that these two weapons had led him to countless victories, and they were the coagulation of sweat, blood, and glory. If Lei Zhe wants, then use his sweat, blood and glory to perfuse his armor and long sword.
Little Lei Zhe was shocked by this sentence, so he implemented this concept all his life. He takes what he wants with his own power. This is the code of conduct for knights.
However, now, these two treasures are armed on the body of the useless waste Hall. Why is he? By cowardice, cowardice, despicable, obscene
So the iron blood and glory in my father's mouth are actually bullshit, right
"The ideal has been tainted." Lei Zhe shook his head and murmured.
The corners of his mouth rose, as if he was grinning, but a cold and violent storm gathered in his pupils.
The old duke noticed the change in his mood and hurriedly warned: "It's time to stop, don't let anyone die! I'll be watching you!"
When the words fell, he drew out the long sword of the knight commander and waited in full force. He is the only person in the entire Totes continent who can draw a tie with Lei Zhe, and he has the ability to rescue the eldest son from the sword of the second son. As long as the second son showed murderous intentions, he would intervene.
Hearing this sentence, Hall, who was so nervous and trembling, immediately showed a relaxed expression, and raised his chin at Lei Zhe with a provocative look.
Lei Zhe smiled coldly, noncommittal.
The surrounding knights frowned subconsciously.
Disrupting the duel is against the law and chivalry. Duke Grande is old, and he has completely lost the iron blood, bravery and courage of the past. Not to mention Hall, even now he is not fit to lead the great Grande.
After thinking about it, the duel began.
Lei Zhe raised his sword and slashed, Hall quickly blocked, and then let out a scream. His arm was numb.
Lei Zhe's enormous strength was not something that ordinary people could bear, and even the long sword that cut iron like mud made an overwhelmed humming sound.
Within milliseconds, Lei Zhe's second sword had already struck, Hall tried his best to attack, only to hear a crisp "bang", the sword that was cut like mud was chopped into two pieces, and the old man. The glory and pride of the Duke's life was also vanished at this moment.
The people on the outside of the field could not help shouting in shock.
The old duke suddenly opened his eyes wide, only to feel that the world was spinning and his head was dizzy. He should have known that Hall couldn't protect his glory at all, let alone become his pride.
Jian Feng was castrated unabated, and after cutting off Hall's long sword, he slashed heavily on the opponent's shoulder. The armor that had been tempered in the flames of war also burst, and blood spurted out. The so-called invincibility is simply vulnerable in the face of absolute power.
Hall's screams startled the birds around the castle. They fled in droves chattering, while the crowd of onlookers came a little closer, just to witness Hall's fiasco.
The old duke suppressed the heartache of losing the treasure and hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him.
He was afraid that the second son would kill the eldest.
However, Lei Zhe did not swing the third sword.
When everyone thought he would take the opportunity to kill Hall, he chose to let go mercifully. He threw away his blood-stained sword, leaned down, and said slowly, "See? Grande's glory has been destroyed for you."
The glory in his mouth naturally refers to this pair of armor that has resisted countless attacks, and this long sword that has taken away countless enemy heads. They are treasures in the hands of heroes and waste in the hands of the weak.
And Grande's fate, at this moment, had a wonderful fusion with the two damaged treasures. If this rich and powerful territory is handed over to Hall, it will surely perish in a very short time.
The knights bowed their heads with sad expressions.
The old duke wiped his face and sighed deeply. He knew that although the second son did not kill the eldest son, he had completely shattered the prestige, reputation and face of the eldest son. If he goes his own way and lets his eldest son inherit Grande, this family that has prospered for hundreds of years will surely collapse like a rotten building.
Razer wins, in every way.
The old duke put down the long sword he held high, and his face showed an extremely tired look.
The duchess sharply ordered the servants to help her son, and called the doctor. The servants ran around like a swarm of headless flies.
The duke's mansion suddenly became a mess.
The crowd of onlookers pointed at such a scene and talked a lot. Jane Qiao covered her face with her hands and stepped back hastily. The splash of blood reminded him of the memory of his previous life. The excruciating pain of the pierced heart was replayed so realistically that every step he took felt like he was struggling in a swamp.
Only then did he realize that he was dizzy.
He was powerless to go any further, so he could only lean on the stone lion and close his eyes and pant. He shook his head slightly, trying to drive away those terrible memories.
At this moment, the crowd shouted in horror.
He opened his eyes subconsciously and looked inside the iron gate, only to see Hall pick up the long sword on the ground and stab Lei Zhe who was striding forward with his back to him.
He had already lost everything, so his father would only let him inherit Grande if Razer died. There was too much shame, anger and fear in his heart, and these incomparably dark emotions had already devoured his sanity one by one.
The crowd screamed, and he gave a wicked smile.
With a sharp look in his eyes, the old duke raised his sword and was about to stab the attacker, but stopped the attack at the last moment. This is the son he cultivated with all his love, and he can't do it.
The knights standing around stepped forward to rescue one after another, but they were unable to stop the assassination in an instant. Hall was so close to Lei Zhe that he could send the sword into Lei Zhe's heart with just one step forward.
How despicable and shameless is this? How cowardly and incompetent? How filthy and dirty
The rage of the knights was completely ignited.
Jian Qiao suppressed the dizziness in his head, staggered towards the iron gate, and warned loudly, "Be careful behind your back!" He was afraid that the same thing would happen to Lei Zhe, and he knew too much how painful it was to have a heart pierced. .
Lei Zhe's ear tip moved slightly, then quickly dodged. The blade stabbed into the air against his arm, and he spun around and threw a hard punch.
Hearing a loud bang, Hall was actually knocked five or six meters away. After landing, everyone discovered that his helmet was actually dented with a fist mark, and thick blood gurgled out along his forehead.
The doctor hurried forward to help him remove the helmet, took a closer look, and suddenly gasped.
I saw that Hall's skull was also dented, and in addition to blood, the white brain slowly leaked out from the breach. This kind of injury is no longer salvageable.
With just one fist, Lei Zhe can beat the indestructible steel to the point of deformation. What kind of terrifying combat power is this
The knights who came to the front half knelt down, put their hands on their chests, and bowed to salute. It was their way of showing their respect and their determination to offer their loyalty.
Lei Zhe took the pure white handkerchief handed by the knight commander and slowly wiped his blood-stained fist.
He turned sideways, looked at his father, and asked indifferently: "Just now, when Hall assassinated me, you could have stopped it, right? But you didn't, so you wanted me to die in a duel. In my heart, I'm not your son, Hall is."
The old duke looked at him with a pale face, and was speechless for a while.
Lei Zhe didn't care about his answer at all, kicked the broken long sword that belonged to the old duke with his toes, and sarcastically said: "Norton Grande, your era is over. From today, I will be you too. Dead. I'm not your son, and you're not my father. Whether you like it or not, Grande has only one heir left, and that's me."
The old duke's straight back slowly hunched down. He sensed the dissatisfaction and anger of the Knights, as well as the contempt of the audience. His stupor cast an indelible dust upon his former glory.
Gentle Township Hero Tomb. When he indulged in the bewitchment of women and lost his due reason, he had come to an end.
Even if the second son killed the most beloved eldest son, he was not qualified to speak, because everyone present knew that the eldest son should die. When he raised his long sword and attacked from behind, he was morally dead, and not killing him was not enough to quell everyone's anger.
Lei Zhe walked to the dying Hall, raised his jaw, and said with a smile: "You know, that sword was left to you on purpose. Pick it up and you will die; if you don't pick it up, you can live The nobility of the nobility comes not only from blood, but also from virtue. But unfortunately, your blood and virtue are inferior. Command Grande, you are not worthy."
Hall, who stared at him with bloodshot eyes, finally swallowed his last breath of remorse.
Standing on the terrace of the castle, Helen ran out with her skirt and shouted hysterically, "Lei Zhe, I'm going to the king to sue you! I'll definitely send you to the guillotine! You wait for me!"
The knights who were half-kneeling and sworn allegiance to Lei Zhe immediately stood up and were ready to chase.
Lei Zhe waved his hand and sneered, "Let her go."
He had already arranged the ending of the two brothers and sisters.
If the old duke felt something, he quickly ordered his servants: "Go and chase Helen back, go!"
However, the Duchess stopped her with a shrill voice: "No one is allowed to go!" After that, she sent a carriage to take her daughter into the palace.
The old duke took the duchess aside and told of the great relationship. What the couple will do in the end, Lei Zhe doesn't care at all. Things have come to this point, and no one can stop it.
He waved off the knights who were surrounding him and strode out of the castle.
The crowd watching the excitement immediately backed away and then fled in all directions. No one dared to face the majesty of this lion, and no one could withstand the murderous aura all over his body.
Jian Qiao, who was weak all over, was unable to escape, so she could only take a deep breath with her back against the stone lion. He must not faint, let alone let anyone discover his weakness.
Realizing that Lei Zhe's eyes were firmly locked on him, and he was approaching quickly, he froze all over, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
