On this day, the No. 7 National Middle School in Heiyan City was much more lively than ever before. Although it was summer vacation, the number of people who came to the school today was several times the usual number. The graduating class, the juniors who came after hearing the news, the boys and girls from other schools who were conducting survival trials with Zhang Tie in Black Flame City, the trials from other schools who heard the news and came out of curiosity Students, as well as all kinds of people, all came to the school in the afternoon.
The entire No. 7 National Boys' High School in Black Flame City was crowded with people today. Not only the duel playground, but also the corridors of the teaching building were crowded with people.
Barry and others from the Aircraft Brotherhood came, sixty-four brothers from the Charity Society who formed a club in the mine came, Pandora, Alice, Beverly and nearly a thousand girls from two girls' schools came, Teachers from several schools also came.
This duel was the first public duel in Black Flame City in recent decades, and it was also the first duel in Black Flame City after it was incorporated into the territory of the Norman Empire.
Things like duels always attract a lot of curious people, not to mention that if such a thing happens right next to them, no one wants to miss it.
Because too many people gathered at the school, Black Flame City's Military Control Committee sent several teams of soldiers here to maintain order and prevent riots after receiving the news.
For such a duel, not even the Military Control Committee of Black Flame City has the right to interfere. Not only cannot it interfere, but it must also ensure that such a duel is conducted in an open and fair manner.
The Andaman Alliance did not allow duels, but duels were a very sacred and solemn matter in the Norman Empire, and all legal duels were protected by imperial law. For example, due to the rules of the barbaric trial, the duel of family blood revenge is not allowed to be interfered with.
Starting from the gate of the school, soldiers wearing dark red military uniforms and armor stood in various places of the school with weapons as if they were standing guard, making the duel become serious and solemn all of a sudden.
Although there were many people gathered in the school, no one made any noise or noise. There were more people. They were just quietly exchanging their opinions and expectations about the duel, as well as the causes and consequences of the duel. When Zhang Tie broke Zuhair's neck in the cafeteria that day, Janelle and Sharon were scared to death. It has been explained, and thousands of people have listened to what they admitted with their own lips—Zu Haier was the mastermind of the despicable and sinister plot against Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie killed Zu Haier just for revenge, reasonable revenge, for a man who wanted to use despicable means. If you want to kill your own people, kill them. What's wrong
Zuhair's death was not worthy of sympathy, so much so that when Zuhair's eldest brother Sood showed up at school, he greeted Sood. It was all whispers and catcalls.
The only thing that makes people curious is why Gris, who was the most dazzling during the trial, disappeared during the trial? Many people are speculating that maybe Gris had met Zhang Tie somewhere and was killed by Zhang Tie. Because Zhang Tie never admitted that he killed Gris, this speculation cannot be confirmed. And Zhang Tie's strength. In the minds of many people, he is only a second-level soldier. Why should he kill the third-level Gris? Some people thought of Zhang Tie's legendary flying spear throwing stunt. Perhaps Zhang Tie relied on this flying spear throwing stunt to kill Gris. If Zhang Tie's flying spear throwing stunt is really like the legend If the hit is that powerful. Even if he is only a second-level soldier, it will be very easy to kill a third-level soldier. A third-level soldier would still die if he was stabbed in a hole by a flying spear falling from the sky. The little strength and agility of a third-level soldier would not be enough in the face of such a throwing weapon. There really isn't much to be proud of.
But in today's duel, Zhang Tie was not allowed to use flying spears or any throwing weapons. Zuhair's brother is already a fourth-level soldier. A fourth-level soldier has to duel with a second-level, or at most third-level graduate who has just completed the trial. Does Zhang Tie still have a chance of winning
When Sood appeared, everyone saw the duel weapon he was holding. The duel weapon Sood chose was a modified standard spear from Black Flame City. The spear was more than two meters long and was made of all steel. The gun head and body are thicker and heavier than ordinary standard spears. The weight of the spear is also more than 30 kilograms. A fourth-level soldier does not use a long sword when dueling with a graduate, but By choosing such a weighted polearm, it seemed that Thord had made up his mind to be shameless to the end.
For a second-level or even third-level graduate, no matter what weapon he chooses, no matter how long or short, when facing a fourth-level soldier who is higher than himself in both level and strength, he will use a long-handled weapon. , in the duel, the graduate did not even have a chance to get close to the body of the fourth-level soldier and was tortured to death. This is the advantage of the pole weapon. One inch longer and one inch stronger, in a duel between people who have a huge disparity in their own strength. Among them, the advantage of polearms is decisive.
Many people saw Sood's thoughts, so when Sood stood on the high platform in the school playground with his long gun on his arms, the boos around him became louder.
The shamelessness and insidiousness of the two Zuhair brothers are almost the same.
Sood remained unmoved, with a sneer on his face, just looking at the sun in the sky, waiting for the duel to come.
The duel time in the Norman Empire is generally fixed at two o'clock in the afternoon. It cannot be too early or too late. This is the decree of the Norman Empire. I heard that this is the wisdom that the Norman Empire learned from the East, because at this time the sun is highest and the light and Yang energy between heaven and earth are at their strongest. People who die at this time will not become ghosts of injustice, and people who kill people will not be haunted by ghosts of injustice. live, so this time is best used for duels and executions of prisoners.
Seeing Soder's confident look, many people who cared about Zhang Tie became worried, such as the people of the Divine Grace Association who didn't know Zhang Tie's current situation.
"Do you think something will happen to Zhang Tie?" Under the high platform occupied by the Divine Grace Congregation, Porter asked Francis in a low voice. The face of this "fire bearer" was full of worry.
"The Initiator will be fine. Don't forget, he is a person blessed by the Great Blessing Technique!" Francis said in a low voice, and the two of them communicated quietly in the crowd of brothers from the Divine Grace Society. There is no need to worry about being overheard by the people around you. "I heard that many brothers can now feel a trace of the effect of the Great Blessing Technique. What does that feel like?"
"I don't know if this is the effect of the Great Blessing Spell. Many brothers have indeed felt that their hearts have become more and more relaxed recently, and some joyful emotions often well up in their hearts for no reason. I have had such an experience twice!" Potter whispered! answer.
"Then it's not wrong. We must have confidence in the Enlightener!" The son of the gardener in Black Flame City nodded vigorously, with some inexplicable brilliance in his eyes. Sacrifice, this is his name, and he feels that this The title brought him an unprecedented noble feeling. Others didn't know it clearly, but Francis could feel it. It seemed that after receiving this title, his life slowly got rid of his low self-esteem and narrow-mindedness, and he became more and more interested in life. He can now look at the misfortunes and sufferings that have occurred in a different light, and his whole person has become more positive and tolerant.
He had only returned home a few days after this trial, and his family immediately felt the changes in him. When he came back this time, whether he was beaten or scolded by his father who liked to drink all day long, Francis never said anything back. , no longer glared at his father, but suffered silently, trying his best to do everything a son can do for the family.
An unprecedented feeling arose in Francis's heart. He discovered that after a person makes up his mind to become a "sacrifice" and no longer thinks about himself, but only considers others first in everything, in his heart, Slowly, a new, dazzling self began to appear. Just four nights ago, his father came back late after drinking outside. If it had been before, Francis would have had a big fight with his father. But this time, he didn't. He just waited quietly at home, waiting quietly like "becoming a simple son after sacrificing himself." When his father drunkenly started knocking on the door, Fran Sis opened the door, helped his father into the house, and then cleaned his father's vomited filth, washed his face, scrubbed his body, drank hangover soup, and served the prepared meals. After giving him a slap in the face, Francis remained oblivious and continued to be that "pure son without any personal thoughts."
Finally, while washing his father's feet, his father looked at him and suddenly began to shed tears. From that day until today, his father seemed to be a different person. He never drank a drop of wine again. Whenever he thought about When he wanted to drink, his father would take a sip of vinegar and use vinegar instead of wine. In just a few days, Francis's family began to change. Francis attributed all of this to it. As a result of becoming a sacred "sacrifice" in the sacred ceremony he participated in, Francis felt that he had understood a hint of the meaning of "sacrifice"...
Sood, who was on the duel stage, had urged the teachers who were notaries of the duel several times to call Zhang Tie out. But Zhang Tie never showed up.
Just ten minutes before the duel started, and many people even thought that Zhang Tie did not dare to come today and started whispering, Zhang Tie came. No one expected that Zhang Tie would appear in such a way...
Zhang Tie's arrival even caused a commotion in the school...
Zhang Tie, wearing a heroic Norman multinational second lieutenant training combat uniform, appeared at the gate of the school sitting on the roof of a wheeled armored vehicle. Behind the wheeled tank, there were dozens of fully loaded vehicles. The military vehicles of the soldiers of the Thirty-ninth Division's Iron Blood Battalion drove all the way in from the school gate and stopped in front of the duel stage in the school playground. Then, many people recognized the arrogant man sitting in Nuo The man with the rank insignia of the Norman Empire’s second lieutenant on the armored vehicle of the Norman Empire is none other than the protagonist of today’s duel—Zhang Tie!
Then everyone who was watching the excitement was dumbfounded, and the whole school fell silent instantly...
