Chapter 2073 Duel Battle
The emergence of the ultimate weapon made Heiyun Tiesei’s retreating troops suddenly nervous. Dutch held the telescope and looked at the sculpture-like monster and murmured: "It's this thing that scares you. It's just the size of a giant dragon."
"But its power Beyond the dragon." Helen looked solemn, holding the sword at her waist, and the wind in front of her disturbed his uneasy mind. He had ordered the personnel to evacuate half an hour ago. He knew that once that thing started to move, the Black Cloud Iron Blockade would definitely prevent it.
The Gripen's army was less than 20 kilometers away from the iron fortress, and they marched forward for another 5 kilometers, just outside the cannon fire of the highest magic rock in the black cloud iron fortress. Because of the cover of the hills, people standing on the walls of the Iron Fortress could not see the movements of the enemy 15 kilometers away. They could only rely on constant reports from aerial scouts and observations from several watchtowers inside and outside the Iron Fortress.
At this time, the people on the watchtower saw a rider carrying the flag of the Gripen Empire. The beautiful red griffon flew towards this side. Two riders immediately flew out from the fortress to intercept it. The red gryphon did not fly too close. One of the people on the back of the gryphon pulled up a big bow, set up a long arrow, and let it go downwards. At the same time, he shouted: "This is my gryphon king's." Pass the message and let your marshal see it." After saying that, he turned around and flew away.
After a while, the sentry on the ground emerged from hiding. Two people stepped forward and pulled out a thick arrow on the ground. The arrow was hollow, and there was indeed a piece of gorgeous gold-sprinkled paper inside. The officer brought the letter to the tower of the iron fortress. Helen opened it and took a look, her brows furrowed.
Zhijiang Dean asked: "What is written on it?"
Helen said: "The Gripen King invited us to send a general to duel with them in an hour. If we win, he will fight with them within three days." We will not attack Black Cloud City. If we lose, we will leave all the supplies and leave the city. If we do not accept his request for a duel, he will launch an all-out attack in two hours. Attack the city face to face."
Daqi pinched his knuckles and said: "Good guy, this Griffith King is so brave and fierce, I want to have a good fight with him."
The wise general Dian asked curiously: "Why would he do this? He is now at the city and can attack at any time...Does he want to accept the city completely?"
"It's very possible." Donald strode up from the stairs and happened to hear their conversation. He said: "The location of the Black Cloud Iron Fortress is exactly at the innermost side of the border buffer zone. If this city is left intact by them, Occupy without damage, then you can advance, attack, retreat and defend. This is It is an excellent location. Moreover, we have enough food reserves in the city to guarantee rations for 100,000 soldiers for two years without backup. This city must not be given to them. It will be difficult to take it back if it is completely given to them. ”
A few people fell into deep thought. The wise general Dean said: "The enemy is determined to attack the city, and we will definitely not be able to take away much. There is no chance of winning if we go out to fight with them. Besides, the Imperial Capital also allows us to conserve our strength and wait for news from them. In three days, we can There are many things to do. Marshal, we can only agree to the duel request. This is the best choice."
Helen nodded.
"By the way." Zhijiang asked: "What are the rules of duel?"
Helen said: "The letter said that the traditional method is used, and both sides send the same number of officers to duel one on one. , regardless of life or death.”
"Aren't there any restrictions on guarding?"
"The letter didn't say that."
"They are very confident, as if they can accept any kind of duel." Dutch suppressed the anger in his chest .
In the far sky, the red gryphon flew back again, and the people above shouted loudly: "Do you accept the duel suggestion? Hurry up and reply!"
Helen signaled to Dean , Dean replied using music magic: "Tell your king that there will be a duel on Long Bridge in one hour."
The red gryphon flew away again. Donald said: "Marshal, do you really want a duel?"
Zhijiang Dean said: "With the King of the North and the Frost Riders here, a duel is most beneficial to our current situation. To say the least, , I won’t leave the supplies to them even if I lose!” “I understand”
Daqi snorted: "Are you kidding? With my Frost Knights here, how could we lose to them! Helen, do you have detailed information about their generals?"
"Yes." Helen said: " But there are some characters among them that I have not paid attention to before, such as the female officer last night.”
"It doesn't matter, they don't have information about our Frost Knights. We will definitely win this duel." Dutch said confidently.
......
The Long Bridge is indeed longer, about one kilometer in length, and very wide, and not very deep at the bottom. Because it was used to transport ordnance and supplies to the village, the bridge was built very solidly and was a metal bridge. An hour later, people from both sides came to the long bridge.
Although there was only one person coming from both sides, in the distance behind them and on the top of the mountain, there were people from both sides watching and reconnaissance to prevent the other side from playing tricks.
The one coming from the Gripen Empire is Mei, the female officer who appeared last night. She asked: "Have you decided how to duel and how to go into battle?"
One of the Puna brothers said: "In a one-on-one duel, the monsters can't help it, until the other side dares not send people to fight anymore."
"Okay." Mei turned around and left.
Seeing this, the Puna brothers also left.
After a while, the people sent by both sides to fight appeared on both sides of the long bridge. The two looked at each other across the bridge, and their expressions became stern. This is no joke. Duels in war have always been extremely dangerous, and it is possible to be plotted by the enemy at any time.
Beside the Black Cloud Iron Fortress, there is a bald man with bronze skin. He wears an ice crown on his head, cloth armor, ice armor punches on his arms, and an ice crystal shield on his back. Shield, he reported his name: "Knights of Frost - Fist of Frost Gera."
On the side of the Gripen Empire is a man whose whole body is wrapped tightly in black armor. The armor and helmet are dotted with purple gems, and a machete is slung across his back: "Captain of the Infantry of the Red Tassel Sword, Zi You The beast - Benedict Bhutto."
After speaking, the two rushed towards the center of the bridge. Ice fist and iron fist were exchanged immediately. After a few moves, both sides were knocked back by their own strength. Bhutto drew his sword and slashed. , a half-moon arc light passed through. Fist of Frost·Jera grabbed this arc with one hand, and both sides summoned their respective monsters at the same time~!
"Cloud Thunder Owl Timobar~!" The monster, neither a bird nor a dragon, rushed out of the summoning formation, and the naturally generated clouds quickly covered it. The purple young beast Bei Butuo stepped on the guardrails on both sides of the iron bridge and jumped on the beast's back. At the same time, the other party also got on his guard.
A Cloud Thunder Owl and a Stone Bat Shadow Ghost appeared one after another. From the perspective of guardianship alone, this was an evenly matched battle, with both monsters having their own advantages. Upon seeing this, Benazir Bhutto took the lead and made the Yunlei owl fly high into the sky, attacking the opponent with long-distance thunder and lightning. The movements of the stone bat shadow ghost are very light and agile. It moves left and right close to the ground and treetops to avoid lightning attacks. It turns around and separates a dozen afterimage phantoms to fly upward against the trend, making it difficult for the opponent to distinguish the real target.
