It was the third day after the great battle that took place on the battlefield in front of Thunder City.
Early in the morning, the soldiers on the city wall saw a strange scene.
A white war horse ran towards the city wall in the distance. Immediately sitting there was a man dressed as a knight. The knight's armor was an old pitch black color and it was unknown how many years it had been used. The ten knights on the horse were not wearing helmets, and their brown hair was flying in the wind. As they got closer, they realized that this man looked about forty years old. From a distance, he could see that he had a rather male beard. , but I can’t see the face clearly.
The knight came on horseback and stopped a hundred steps away from the city wall. He got off the horse and held a sword in his hand - the sword looked to be quite old, at least the leather scabbard looked like it had faded and aged in many places.
The knight stood beside the horse and shouted at the city wall: "I am Knight Fielding of the Roland Temple. Please come out and speak to Duke Tulip!"
He was standing a hundred steps away, but his voice came steadily, so clearly, it was as if it was ringing in his ears! The voice didn't seem to be loud, but every soldier on the city wall seemed to hear it extremely well. What's more, the sound actually passed far through the city wall and reached the city!
Rody was patrolling the inside of the city wall at the moment. Hearing the sudden sound outside, his heart moved and he strode up the city wall.
Looking at the Roland knight standing under the city wall. Zig shouted loudly: "Who are you?"
The knight raised the sword in his hand high: "I am Knight Fielding of the Roland Temple, and I want to meet Duke Tulip of the Empire of Light!"
Rody frowned and shouted: "I am Duke Tulip. Knight Fielding. What do you want? If you want to persuade me to surrender, then my soldiers will shoot arrows!"
Knight Fielding smiled faintly: "Your Excellency Duke Tulip, I am not here to persuade you to surrender! I am a knight of the Holy Knights. I heard that you captured one of our people. In the name of a knight, I express my gratitude to the respected Duke Tulip of the Empire of Light. Your Excellency challenges you! That person is my companion. If you lose, please put my subordinates back!"
Before Rody could speak, Sieg had already shouted: "Loland man below! Who are you? Why do you challenge our Duke?"
Fielding said lightly: "In the name of a knight, I challenge His Excellency Duke Tulip of your country! If he dare not accept the challenge, please let my companion go!"
Sieg sneered: "Nonsense! In the name of knights, you Roland knights don't have 100,000, but 80,000. What kind of cats and dogs. Everyone comes to challenge our Lord Duke, so our Lord Duke still has food to eat. No food, no sleep?”
As soon as these words came out, the imperial soldiers on the city wall burst into laughter. Some of them were already pointing at the knight Fielding below and laughing and cursing loudly.
The expression of the knight Fielding did not change, and it was not clear whether he was angry or embarrassed. He still said slowly in that calm tone: "Your Excellency Duke Tulip, I am the Paladin Fielding of the Roland Continent Temple! Could it be that I Aren’t you qualified enough to challenge Your Excellency?”
Paladin
As soon as these words were spoken, every word was extremely clear. Although there was laughter and curses on the city wall, Fielding's words were always clear in the noise.
Especially when the words "paladin" were spoken, the laughter and curses on the city wall immediately stopped.
Paladin? That is the top master of Roland Continent! The top figure among knights!
Seeing that the noise of killing on the city wall had gradually subsided, Fielding sneered and said: "My lord, Duke Tulip, do you dare to accept my challenge? We are right under the city wall. You and I will fight!" I wonder if you, who is famous in the Bright Continent for your bravery and proficiency in fighting, dare to agree?"
Quiet!
Involuntarily. The imperial soldiers on the city wall all looked at the hero in their hearts, the great pure commander, Lord Tulip Duke.
In their hearts, the bravery of Lord Tulip Duke is almost as if it has been deeply engraved in their hearts! Especially those who witnessed the Duke leading the Thunder God's Whip out of the city and charging into the battlefield that day, they already worshiped their commander from the deepest part of their hearts... He was simply a god on the battlefield!
After all, Sieg was a little older and couldn't help but whisper: "Your Majesty the Duke, that man calls himself a Holy Knight... You are the commander of an army, so don't pay attention to them. If you have the ability, just lead the army to attack the city! Such a person The duel between them is meaningless. Moreover, the sword has no eyes, and the opponent is a paladin. Even if you defeat him, Lord Duke, you will probably have to pay a price... You are our commander-in-chief, and you have a heavy responsibility... "
Intellectually, Roddy agreed with Zieg's words.
After all, he is now the commander-in-chief. A paladin is certainly qualified enough to challenge him—but can he defeat him
The Paladins of the Roland people are equivalent to masters of the Sword Saint warrior level in the Bright Continent. Even if Baiji can defeat this person, I'm afraid he can't do it without paying a price, right? It's bound to be a little injured... Besides, the outcome is still open to debate!
If you win, it will be good, but it is not worth it to suffer serious injuries for this kind of duel. After all, there are still battles to fight later, and there are many things to do... If you lose, it will also be a blow to the morale of the army. Very big.
There really is no point in taking such a fearless risk.
Roddy was silent, and Knight Fielding below spoke again.
"Your Excellency Duke Tulip, I didn't catch up with the battle the day before yesterday. I heard about your bravery on the battlefield and I was very curious... I heard Miss Muse in the temple mention Duke Tulip of the Empire of Light in Roland Continent. The bravery... I am personally very fascinated by this kind of rumor, and now you have caught one of my colleagues... So I challenge you as a Paladin of Roland Continent! I know that you are the commander of Thunder God's Whip. I have some scruples due to my status, but no matter whether I win or lose this battle, I will order the Holy Knights of Roland Continent not to cause trouble in this battle in Thunder City! This condition is fair, right?"
Rody gritted his teeth. Seeing the soldiers around him looking at him with anticipation and admiration, Rody couldn't help but feel a little excited - besides, the opponent's condition was that the Holy Knights temporarily withdraw from the battle, which was considered fair.
Some of the soldiers nearby couldn't help but started making noises, and they yelled at Fielding in the city. Some scolded him for being arrogant, some scolded him for overestimating his own capabilities, and some scolded him for seeking death...
Sieg was still beside Rody and whispered: "The Duke ignored him and just asked the soldiers to shoot arrows to drive him away! The overall situation is more important now! There are still many things waiting for you to do these days. There is also your plan. …”
Rody sighed, barely suppressing the impulse in his heart, and was about to refuse...
Fielding under the city wall suddenly sneered: "Your Excellency Duke Tulip, don't you really dare? Don't you dare to accept a challenge between warriors? Or does your bravery only exist in legends? It seems that my fiancée Miao What Miss Si said is wrong..."
The imperial capital. In the palace, Andy was "watching" the scene in front of Thunder City with his eyes closed, but after hearing Jian Erding's last words, Andy's expression suddenly changed.
"It's over. That boy is going to beat me up now!"
The words "fiancée" were like a blow to Roddy's heart. His body shook violently, and his eyes immediately widened.
The impulse in my heart just now was finally suppressed, but now the impulse suddenly turned into a raging rage and burned violently.
fiancée
fiancée! !
fiancée!
Rody almost squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "What did you just say?"
Fielding smiled faintly: "I just said that I heard my fiancée Miss Muse mention your bravery many times in Roland Continent, but I never thought that you would not dare to accept the challenge of a warrior..."
"Prepare your horses!" Before Fielding could finish speaking, Rody had already stopped shouting, turned around and walked towards the back of the city wall!
"Your Majesty the Duke..." Sieg followed closely and couldn't help but want to dissuade him. Rody glanced at Sieg. He said coldly: "I said prepare your horse!"
Siege caught Rody's gaze and couldn't help but tremble. I was immediately startled. That kind of gaze pierced his body like a real entity, and the deep chill made Siege couldn't help but take a step back immediately, and he subconsciously swallowed the next half of the sentence back into his stomach.
Rody strode towards the bottom of the city wall with a kind of incomparable anger in his eyes, as if the blood all over his body was burning... Fiancée? !
Rody held his Dragon Tooth Sword tightly, as if his hands were trembling. With every step he took, the aura on his body became more and more violent. Finally, when he reached the city, he turned over and mounted the war horse Garros, looking at the domain gate in front of him slowly. Open slowly.
The soldiers on both sides looked at the great commander in their hearts with great reverence and made way for them.
Although Fielding had a faint smile on his face, his eyes were cold. Watching the city gate open, the Tulip Duke rushed out of the domain gate on a black horse.
He smiled faintly and jumped on his horse, but did not go up to him. He just shouted: "This place is too close to your city wall. Since it is a fair duel, I ask that it be held in the middle of the battlefield!"
After saying this, he turned the horse's head and retreated.
Rody followed closely behind him, and the two horses ran one after another to the middle of the battlefield. This place was the same distance from the city wall and the Roland coalition camp. Rody said coldly: "It's almost here. ?”
Feeling the knife-like gaze piercing his face, Fielding couldn't help but frown and said coldly: "Okay, let's stay here!"
Rody slowly picked up the spear on his horse, looked at Fielding in front of him, and said coldly: "You said Miaosi is your fiancée?"
"Miaosi..." Jian Erding said lightly: "It seems that her memory of you is really good. She even told you your name... Yes, Miaosi is indeed my fiancée... I think this is what you care about most now. Is that the case? If it weren’t for this, you wouldn’t accept my challenge, right?”
Rody looked gloomy and gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! Did you deliberately use this to anger me and lure me out?"
Fielding said proudly: "I am the Holy Knight of the temple! Miaosi was originally my fiancée, but after she came to the northwest grassland last time, she ignored me when she came back. And because of you, she strongly objected This war angered the elders of the temple. If it weren't for me, she would have been executed long ago! I heard her mention it occasionally and found out that you met in the northwest! As a man, I will definitely challenge you! I will prove to Miaosi who is the real hero!"
Roddy didn't know what kind of mood he was feeling at this moment. After experiencing it for so long, he could naturally feel his subtle emotions towards the ten black gauze saints... If in this world, Nicole would still be there. If there is a woman that he cares about, then the ten wonderful silks in the northern Roland continent are undoubtedly one of them!
Thinking of the words Miao Si left that day in the northwest wilderness, dancing in the air and sitting on the horse: "You don't forget me, I won't forget you!" Rody felt a pain in his heart, and subconsciously said: "She... She is now Okay?"
Fielding said coldly: "No! Duke Tulip, Miaosi is the holiest girl in the temple, the most beloved goddess of all our holy knights! She is my Fielding's fiancée! But now she is being raped because of you. The temple elders are imprisoned! They are considered disloyal to their faith!”
Rody gritted his teeth and said slowly: "So, you want to kill me? Because of Miaosi?"
Fielding said lightly: "Yes, Your Excellency Duke Tulip. No matter what, I will definitely kill you! Not only for the temple, for my faith... but also for my love! I didn't agree until she went to the northwest I accepted my proposal... But everything changed after she came back! I saw her sitting in the corner of the temple several times crying... Your Excellency, Duke Tulip, this is all because of you, because you stole her in the devil's way! heart of!"
Having said this, Fielding picked up the spear and shouted: "Duke Tulip! Pick up your spear! Let's have a duel! As long as you kill me, then Mystic will be yours!"
Roddy's eyes turned completely cold. He stared at the Paladin of Roland Continent in front of him, and then said slowly in a low tone: "You are wrong! Whether I kill you or not, Miaosi is mine. !”
