In the middle of the night, a courier ran into the tavern panting.
"I won... I won!" He shouted in a hoarse voice without taking a sip of his drink, "My lord, the Osha clan has won!"
It takes about a day to get back to the small oasis from the burning land. If the two rides change, they can arrive on the same day. Obviously, if the winner is determined, he will rush back to the oasis without stopping.
The entire "Skull Wine Cup" suddenly became a sensation.
"Ha, I knew they could win!"
"What about the process?"
"Let's talk about it, how did you win?"
"Are there still no casualties?"
The messengers were instantly surrounded by people's chattering inquiries, and the good fruit wine was passed through the crowd, and it was delivered to him tacitly.
Thuram also felt relieved, no matter what, the stronger Osha is, the more comfortable he will be in the future as a member of the clan. Although he didn't do it with his own ability, but... so what? It's not a heavy price to be able to take the clansman out of the status of the half-dead and the dead and move to the Iron Sand City to live.
He clapped his hands to the clansman, "Take a breath first, and then tell everyone the story of the duel."
"Yes!" Xin moistened his throat with fruit wine, took a deep breath and said, "The two sides didn't do anything. The Nutao Clan and Princess Aosha reached an agreement and voluntarily gave up the second position!"
"what?"
The tavern was quiet for a while, and then the discussion erupted as if the roof was about to be overturned!
"There is no duel between the two sides?"
"Take the initiative to give up... Is this a surrender?"
"Doesn't that mean that Aosha is only one step away from becoming the head of the clan?"
"Completing four sacred duels in a row without killing one person on the field is something that has never happened before!"
"I also rushed over after hearing the news."
"Haha, like me, if it wasn't so sensational, who would want to leave Yinchuan Oasis in such a cold winter."
"Damn, it really didn't come in vain!"
"Toast to the three gods for Aosha!"
"Respect Drow. Lord Yinyue!"
Thuram was also stunned for a while, but he wasn’t surprised by the news that the Furious Waves clan had voluntarily backed down—this is a very understandable move, keeping the third place in strength until Aosha and Furious Flame smashed their heads. , and then look for an opportunity to return to the second place, and even coveting the head of the next clan is not impossible. After all, if they can retreat, it will be difficult for Kuangyan to retreat.
He was shocked that the discussion in the crowd made him vaguely understand the purpose of the new owner in an instant.
That group of people is rapidly accumulating prestige!
There has never been a sacred duel that has attracted the attention of so many sand people as it is now - Princess Osha's revenge return, continuous challenges like a storm, no matter how many opponents... The legendary war calendar, all of this, seems so incredible, and at the same time arouses people's curiosity to the greatest extent.
Although the sacred duel is an important ceremony to determine the status and rights of the big clan, it is still very far away for most sand people. Some clans have never left the Yinchuan Oasis from their establishment to their demise, so naturally they would not care about the battle between the challenger and the big clan.
After all, there are always very few who can stand out from the star-like clan, and a normal power exchange is not even as attractive as the news that Osha was framed by the iron whip. This time, however, was different. A clan who had been exiled, and the clan whose daughter of the patriarch was sold into slavery could still have an opportunity to turn over. This alone made most of the weak clans unknowingly side with Aosha. What happened after that was even more bizarre. In just one month, Aosha went from being an unknown challenger to becoming the center of discussion among many sand people.
The densely surging head in the tavern is the best proof.
No matter if they were expecting or sarcastic, or simply wanting to see how far Aosha could go, at least Drow Silver Moon had become a household name. It is conceivable that when the last sacred duel comes, how many people will go to the burning land to witness the battle of Osha's summit with their own eyes.
Thuram naturally understood what such prestige meant.
The last clan leader who spread his name throughout the extreme south almost unified the entire desert. Although he fell in the subsequent war with Greycastle, he has vaguely assumed the posture of the messenger of the three gods.
Is this the purpose of the new owner
The only difference is that this time Aosha no longer needs to be enemies with Greycastle - the forces behind them are the Northern Kingdom that is pressing on the sand people's heads.
"His Majesty Roland Wimbledon will bring oasis and order to the Mojin."
Thinking of what Tie Axe said, he suddenly realized that when Aosha really became the head of the clan, something earth-shaking might happen.
That would probably change the fate of the entire Mojin people.
*****************
Two days later, on the outskirts of the small oasis, the first army camp.
"Is your injury... all right?" Echo looked at Ashes with some concern. The battle with the Blackwater clan left her covered in blood—though most of the blood was her opponent's, she wasn't unscathed.
"Don't worry, it won't affect the next action." Ashes untied her long ponytail unconcernedly, her jet-black hair fell like a waterfall, and she wore a loose robe. At this time, it was completely impossible to see that she was a woman who has experienced many times. A warrior of life and death, but like a graceful and peerless beauty, "The herbal medicine of the leaves is also very effective, and most of the deep wounds have been scarred."
"It's just some skin injuries. The physical quality of the super witch is better than ours. After all, the nutrition does not need to be supplied to the brain, the muscles grow very fast, and the skin is very thick." Andrea shrugged, "You don't know her In the past, when one person hunted the church, he simply hid in a place where even mice were unwilling to stay, and lived on corrupt animal carcasses.
Ash rolled his eyes, instead of arguing with her as usual, he leaned back on the reclining chair and closed his eyes.
This is what a mature warrior does. Iron Axe on the side thought to himself that apart from eating and fighting, he would spend the rest of his time resting, recovering his physical strength as much as possible, and facing the next challenge with full energy. The other witches in Neverwinter may also be strong, but few can do that.
As expected of the candidate that His Majesty had to wait for after delaying the plan.
"What shall we do next?" Echo asked.
"We have done our best in accordance with His Majesty's instructions," Iron Axe recalled Roland's instructions before he left, although some words are very difficult to speak, such as hype is the most important thing, try to be as topical as possible, and create a duel legend , make your voices be heard all over the desert, etc... but all in all, get as much attention as possible. Nowadays, more and more people come to watch the sacred duel from various oasis in Yinchuan, which should be considered as meeting this requirement. "The rest is to defeat Kuangyan, and then you will say His Majesty's words in the Holy Land in front of everyone."
"I… get it," Echo was silent for a moment, then clenched her fists as if to cheer herself up.
"Don't worry, Lord Yinyue, Your Majesty doesn't require everyone to understand this right away, and you don't need to be under too much pressure," Iron Axe comforted, "Just let your voice spread throughout the burning land as usual, no matter what. How many people will respond to us, and the new order will eventually spread throughout the extreme south along Yinchuan."
At this moment, Thuram pushed open the door and walked in.
After bowing to the four of them in turn, he took out a letter, "The Crazy Flame Clan has responded to Osha's challenge request, but... they asked for designated personnel to participate in the duel."
"What do you mean?" Andrea frowned.
"The letter said that the third princess of the flames, Lorgar, hopes to have a one-on-one duel with Lord Ash on the high platform of burning flames," Thuram replied respectfully.
