"Your Highness, are you sure about Just?" Tamro asked in a low voice, looking at the two people standing in the center of the field.
"I don't know how much Kordak weighs, so how can I be sure?" Alexander replied lazily.
"Then you still let the two of them make such a bet?!" Tamro was stunned.
"Yes, although I don't know Kordak's strength, I know Kordak's character." Alexander looked at Kordak and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no matter what the outcome, he will agree to participate. This operation.”
"Now that you say so, I'm relieved." Tamro nodded. Although Alexander was young, he knew how wise this young man who was less than twenty years old possessed. If he said something, there was a high chance that Eighty-nine times it will come true.
"It's you, old captain, are you really sure that this Kordak is a rare general?" Alexander also asked in a low voice: "You are not trying to limit me, are you?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have been observing him for a long time. Kordak has led his team to complete these tasks very well. Without a clear and flexible mind, they would not be able to complete the tasks so easily every time." ." Tamro was full of confidence.
"That's good." Alexander nodded: "Okay, the two of them are about to start."
"Just Sheng, that bottle of red wine you brought." Tamro said according to the original rules.
"Hey, that's the good wine I managed to capture with great difficulty!" Alexander almost jumped up. Even though he, an old captain, has reached this position, he still hasn't gotten rid of his gambling habit...
"Does His Majesty the Prince still care about a bottle of wine? You can have as much vintage wine as you want from the Rousseau Manor." Tamro's expression remained unchanged.
"Okay, okay." Alexander was quite helpless: "Then I can only bet on Kordak. If I win, I will get your dagger."
"Deal!" After the two agreed on the bet, they stopped talking and began to quietly watch the duel between Kordak and Just.
"I said, before the fight starts, can you tell me why you hate us so much?" Kordak crossed his arms and asked helplessly: "I really don't remember that I or we have offended you."
"If you beat me, I'll tell you!" Just drew out his spear.
"Okay, okay, what the hell..." Kordak rolled his eyes, and then drew out his lava blade.
Just looked at Kordak's innocent and helpless face, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart. He shouted loudly, and then attacked with a spear.
"The full moon flashes!" Just summoned up all his fighting energy, and then concentrated it on the tip of the spear. Then, he turned his spear and danced it into a smooth circle.
"Breaking through the air!" Kordak also directly used his fighting skills. He held his two-handed sword tightly, and then swung his sword directly on the spear.
The violent collision caused the two high-level warriors to stagger, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Kordak had the advantage in the first wrestling match. He just leaned back but did not move, while Just took a few steps back.
"This Just is no match for Kordak." Garona came to her conclusion after just one collision.
"Oh? Why?" Regnar asked.
"Don't forget what he does." Garona said: "A soldier, that is, a soldier. Therefore, the martial arts and fighting skills he learned must be suitable for battlefield killing. Those fighting skills have a wide range, but The lethality is not particularly strong. It can be seen from the flash of the full moon that he just made. This fighting skill has a wide range, but its effect on a single person is not very obvious, so he will use it with Korda. He had the upper hand in the collision. But what about Kordak? He is a mercenary. Although he has experience in group fights, most of the time, he is trained in single combat. So, this Just went to Kordak. If you fight alone, you may find the wrong opponent."
"So that's it..." Regnar suddenly realized.
And things were exactly as Garona expected. Just's attacks seemed wide-ranging and powerful, but when he really faced off against Kordak, his strength was always a little weaker.
Gradually, Kordak took the initiative in the battle. He patiently spent time with Just, while slowly getting closer and closer than the spear could reach. As long as he entered that range, Kordak was confident that he could completely suppress Just's movements.
And Juster is worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran, and he has a very keen insight into Kordak's intentions. Therefore, he always gritted his teeth and persisted, no matter how much fighting spirit he spent, he had to keep a certain distance from Kordak to fight. Ultra-close combat has always been a shortcoming of weapons like spears. If it is really stuck, it will be difficult to fight.
However, Kordak has always been calm and kept putting pressure on Just with his outstanding physical fitness. Even if he couldn't get close, he wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, his fighting skills were less consuming than Just's, and they were much more powerful. As long as he is patient, he will definitely win.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before Just's physical strength seemed to be unable to keep up. He had just performed two fighting skills in succession to force Kordak, and now his body had to recover for a few seconds before he could recover.
But the experienced Kordak would naturally not give him such a chance. He seized this opportunity and increased the momentum of his attack in an instant. He even aroused his fire attribute fighting spirit for this. This rough man waved his two-handed giant sword like a mad god.
Just barely managed to hold on under his ferocious attack, but ultimately was no match for Kordak's onslaught. He was knocked away from the spear by Kordak's sword. When Just came to his senses, the crimson lava blade was already on his neck.
"Huhu... you lose." Kordak said while panting violently. In fact, his physical strength is almost at the limit now. If Just can persist for one more minute, then the balance of victory and defeat is likely to be reversed. .
"..." A trace of sorrow and anger flashed in Just's eyes. He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly stretched his neck and hit Kordak's blade.
"Be careful!" Everyone was shocked.
"Fuck!" Kordak reacted quickly. He quickly removed his giant sword, and then kicked Just to the ground.
"Are you fucking crazy?!" Kordak's face was as dark as ink. If he had just been slower, he would have killed the confidant of the second prince of the empire. This crime was enough for him to drink a pot.
"I'd rather kowtow to you and admit my mistake than die happily!" Just said as he reached out to grab the dagger on his leg.
But Kordak stepped on his arm: "Okay, don't fucking mess around here. I don't need your apology, right?"
"I don't need your pity!" Just said viciously.
"You, a person like you who don't even value your own life, why should I feel sorry for you? You want to commit suicide and hit your head against the wall when no one is around, but don't put me in a shit basin here!" Kordak cursed: "Have I killed your whole family? Are you going to drag me with you to death?"
"My family has died a long time ago!" Just suddenly roared like a lion: "They died in the hands of you mercenaries who kill for money without blinking an eye!"
"..." Kordak was stunned: "Is that why you hate us so much?"
"So what?" Just said with red eyes.
"..." Kordak was helpless. He looked at Juste expressionlessly for a long time, but finally sighed softly, then retracted his feet and stretched out his hand.
"..." Just didn't understand what Kordak meant.
"Get up..." Kordak said: "I won't fight. I will lose this game."
"Are you insulting me?!" Just said in a vicious tone.
"Okay, can you not be so extreme?" Kordak smiled bitterly: "I am indeed a mercenary, and I have killed many people. But I can guarantee that your tragedy has nothing to do with me and my companions. "
"Even if it has nothing to do with you, you are still the same person!" Just said coldly.
"Hey! Don't make it sound like you are noble no matter how dirty we are." Kordak said: "Have you never killed anyone?"
"That's war!"
"Is there any difference? If a person is killed by you, another person will lose his or her loved ones. Killing is killing! I never think there is any noble killing in this world!" Kordak said coldly: "Nothing in this world is absolutely right or wrong, and nothing I intend to do is right! Let alone ask for your forgiveness! But as long as I have a clear conscience, as long as I can be worthy of my companions, that's enough Got it!"
"..." Just's body was shaken.
"Okay, I won't fight you. My companions and I will help you with the next mission. That's it." Kordak didn't bother to talk to him any more. He added before leaving: "If you still feel that I'm sorry for you, you can come to me and fight, and I'll be with you at any time. But I tell you, I don't owe you anything, and I'm not sorry for you!"
"Is this within your expectation?" Tamro asked.
"Yes, this is a knot in Just's heart. I think maybe today is a good opportunity to untie it." Alexander nodded. Just had been following him for some years, so the second prince knew his past very well. .
"I don't know whether to untie it or not, but I lost this bet." Tamro smiled and handed the dagger he was wearing, including the scabbard, to Alexander: "It's yours!"
"I got three gains from a duel, what a profit!" Alexander said with a smile.
"Sorry, I took matters into my own hands this time." Kordak said to Regnar and Vera.
"It's nothing, it doesn't hurt to move a little more." Neither Vera nor Regna was particularly resistant to this.
"I took over this task." Kordak said to Alexander.
"I knew I was right." Alexander showed a confident smile.
