Weapon racks are placed on both sides of the high platform for selection by both sides of the duel.
From swords to whips, the common weapons are basically included. The purpose of not using their own weapons is to ensure fairness as much as possible - for example, the big clan is fully capable of creating more sophisticated blades, while the challengers are basically in a poor situation, the usual weapons The quality can be imagined. If the gap is too large, the duel loses its original meaning.
However, Thuram knew that this was not without hands and feet. The Iron Whip Clan defeated the Aosha Clan by relying on the Blackwater Long Whip that had been stolen. Although the arbitrator severely punished the weapon caretaker afterwards, the result of Osha's defeat was settled, and no one would compete with the Iron Sand City big clan for a crumbling and falling clan.
It's just that no one expected that this dying man would be reborn from the ashes one day.
It was so powerful that even the capital of the clan felt the pressure.
It was the first time he saw the unsmiling expression of the leader of the flames towards the new challenger.
"Is there a rule that a person can only carry one weapon?" Ashes asked suddenly.
"Uh... there's no such rule," Thuram came back to his senses, "As long as you can carry it on your back, you can take as much as you want."
"Very good, I'm ready." She first put two machetes at her waist, then grabbed a long-handled hammer and weighed it, and finally put on a square wooden shield, "These should be enough for me. Until the duel is over."
Thuram swallowed, although he had long known that this black-haired and golden-eyed goddess had infinite power, but it was too outrageous to be so big. The two-handed hammer that ordinary people can only use after years of training, she can actually hold it with one hand and swing it like a rapier. It is a nightmare for the enemy to meet such an opponent. Obviously, in the conflict in the tavern, she did not use all her strength, otherwise it is possible to dismantle the "skull wine glass" with her bare hands.
"Me too," Andrea picked up a short bow and deliberately reduced the number of feather arrows in the quiver to twenty-two.
"Then go on stage," Iron Axe said solemnly.
"Wait!" Thuram couldn't help being stunned, "You only have four people participating in the duel?" He glanced at the Greycastle warriors behind him - fifty people scattered around the weapon rack, turned their backs to each other, and stared vigilantly. Other bystanders did not intend to choose weapons.
"The Holy Duel doesn't stipulate that the number of people must be the same, right?" Ashes said nonchalantly, "Four people are enough."
According to the rules, the number of warriors participating in the duel of the clan should be between 15 and 30, which is taking into account the restrictions set by the high platform venue, but there is also a fine rule that the number of challengers cannot exceed the number of challenged clans. In other words, if the opponent only sent 15 people to fight, then Aosha could only send 15 people at most.
This consideration is based on a cruel fact: no matter whether the duel is won or lost, the warriors who enter the field will face heavy losses, more than half of the casualties are common, and even the situation of fighting to the last person occasionally happens. Obviously, the more people involved in the duel, the greater the weakening of the strength of the clan, so that it is relatively rare to send 30 people to each other for a duel - unless you know in advance that the challenger will not be able to gather 30 strong warriors, this method will be used. to gain an overall advantage.
Therefore, the bone-cutting clan set the number of people at 22, no doubt that even if the duel fails, it will not have much impact on the clan. Falling from the iron sand city to become a challenger does not mean that it is completely over. As long as there are brave warriors in the clan, there is a chance to make a comeback.
Osha's correct approach should be to send an equal number of people to fight against it. Although those Greycastle warriors look short and thin, they are not at all brave and good at fighting, but as long as Ashes are there, Osha can still occupy a great advantage— The innate power that is not affected by the Stone of God's Punishment is enough to control the situation of the battle.
However, it is completely different when four people play. The advantage of the goddess is to lead the ethnic group to survive in the cruel desert. She is the object of people's admiration, but it is not necessarily suitable for fighting. What's more, duelists will basically wear the Stone of God's Punishment, and the ability of the goddess is easily suppressed and becomes weaker than ordinary people.
Once Drow Silvermoon and Andrea lost their ability to fight, only Iron Axe and Ashes were left on the field. No matter how strong the latter is, it is impossible to deal with the double-teaming of twenty people at the same time, right? After all, if the opponent is fighting to the death with the idea of spending their lives, even if they have extraordinary strength, they are only two punches and two feet, how can they be able to defend everything
Thuram thought that Iron Axe, who had participated in the sacred duel, knew all these common sense, and they did not ask him to sit in when they discussed the duel, so he also adhered to the principle of "those who don't ask more live longer" , I didn't pay too much attention to this matter, but I didn't expect this group of people to be so big.
He was dumbfounded as he watched the four of them walk up to the high platform with natural expressions. He couldn't help shivering. Although sweat was pouring out from his forehead, he still felt like he was standing naked in the cold desert... As if the trees of fire around him were no longer in bloom. Can shield him from the raging cold wind again.
You know, he is now a member of the Aosha clan!
If this group of people loses, can he still stand in the small oasis? I am afraid that even the extreme south will not be able to stay!
Knowing this earlier, even if he left his clan to them, he didn't want to go into this muddy water.
The appearance of four people also brought a strong shock to others. It is a symbol of self-confidence and bravery to fight against the majority with a few people, but to use four people to fight against twenty-two battle-hardened tribal warriors? It's no different than suicide.
The booing disappeared instantly.
Everyone's eyes widened, and the indifference on their faces gradually turned into surprise and solemnity.
"Are you sure that there are only four of you in Aosha?" Facing such a strange scene, the leader of Kuangyan had no choice but to ask.
"That's right," Ashes raised the corner of his mouth, "let's start quickly. By the way, you should have written a suicide note in advance, right?"
There was an uproar—
"Who is this guy?"
"It's too arrogant!"
"Even if it's a goddess, it's impossible to stop the arrow of the god stone, right?"
"Wait, why do I think she's serious..."
"I feel the same as you, this guy will never have much less blood on his hands than me."
"you sure?"
"I'm a samurai, and I can feel it - my heartbeat is telling me she's scary."
"But there are only four of them!"
"Wait, don't you know the answer?"
In less than a quarter of an hour, the situation on the sidelines has undergone tremendous changes. All clan members have focused their attention on the high platform, and the previous indifference has disintegrated. Whether it is death or not, this courage alone is worthy of praise. For true warriors, the sand people never stingy with respect.
Listening to the comments from the observation platform, Thuram couldn't help but hesitate. Are they really sure that they will win in the face of such a huge numerical disadvantage
Just as his mind was mixed and his thoughts were surging, the arbitrator rang the gong hanging in the corner of the high platform.
"Then I announce that the sacred duel of the Aosha clan to challenge the bone-cutting clan will begin now!"
