Chapter 505: The Ancient Laws of Knights
The coaches of other families sit behind the scenes and strategize, but Viola is different. In other words, the entire Avarus royal family has this kind of virtue, and they dare to do anything.
Aldai had already joined the siege team, and Viola finally couldn't hold it back and rushed in dragging the knights who were guarding her.
Li Chengqi had long thought that she would not be able to hold it back, so before the war started, he had used the 'Destined Chosen' to give Viola divine power. With this guarantee, even if he encountered a stronger opponent, he would at least be able to run back alive. .
There was only one person confronting Viola.
Wearing heavy plate armor, holding a giant sword with both hands, he stood in front of the royal city gate without any defense.
To talk about the characteristics, it is that this person is not tall. Li Chengqi thought he was a dwarf at first, but when he clicked on the character panel and saw the race column, he realized that he was also a high-ranking demon.
"I am Homan Charin Slop, general of Enwei Demon Kingdom!"
He didn't care about revealing his identity as the coach of Enwei Demon Kingdom in front of all the enemy troops.
At this time, Viola, who was leading the charge, rode through the crowd on horseback. Upon seeing this, she turned over and dismounted, drew out the sword from her waist and performed a knightly salute.
"Viola Avarus, I have heard your name for a long time."
Homan was also a little surprised when he saw Viola's attitude.
His height has always been a flaw and he has been ridiculed since he was a child. However, he has reached the position of general through his own efforts. Anyone who dares to underestimate this short knight will pay a heavy price.
What surprised him was that Viola, who was an enemy, did not laugh at her at all, but treated her seriously with knightly etiquette.
Viola knew the reason why Homan did not retreat with the large army but appeared here alone.
If the war goes unfavorably, you will definitely be punished, and the Demon King of the Enwei Demon Kingdom has a very cruel character. There will definitely be no good consequences for Homan when he goes back.
But if the commander dies in battle and the army retreats, no matter how cruel the Demon King is, he will not be able to hold him accountable. Doing so would be too chilling for his subordinates.
In other words, Homan wanted to die and sacrificed his own life in exchange for his staff and family to have a way to survive.
Viola respects her opponents very much, especially those who risk everything for their ideals. Besides, compared to Homan's height, his aura is more like a dying lion, which is not something that can be laughed at casually. people.
Viola's willingness to come out and introduce herself also means that she understands Homan's plan. In this unspeakable tacit understanding, Homan said loudly: "According to the ancient laws of knights, I hope to show Viola La Avarus requests a one-on-one duel!"
Homan is a general and a knight of Enwei Demon Kingdom. Rather than commit suicide, he hopes to die as a knight.
Viola understood his determination and raised her sword without hesitation:
"I accept your challenge."
This kind of behavior similar to that of a general fighting in front of the battle is just an unspoken rule, and it is normal even if the other party does not accept it.
But Viola sensed Homan's determination, and she decided to send him away as the knight did.
The knights nearby had no time to stop them, so Viola happily decided to let the knights fight on behalf of the princess...
Viola had been holding back the entire battle. La obviously didn't give him a chance. After speaking, he walked towards Homan with his sword in hand. The two sides faced off across the fountain in the square, about twenty meters away.
Only then did Homan smile slightly:
"Your Highness, no, I will call you Your Majesty soon. Your Majesty Viola, I don't know if you will become an excellent female devil, but for now, I think you are a worthy of respect." The knight.”
"Sir Homan, I already know your decision, but I still want to say, if there are other solutions, are you willing to come under my command?"
Homan's commanding ability is OK for the situation but not the person. The problem is that he chose the wrong opponent.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm afraid I have to refuse you. As a knight, I cannot betray the king to whom I am loyal."
Viola was not surprised at all when she got the expected answer, but she still felt a pity.
"I have another question, why did you four countries suddenly march?"
"I'm not afraid of your majesty's laughter. Even as the commander-in-chief, I don't know the reason at all. But suddenly one day, my king ordered to mobilize the army to join the other three countries and launch an attack together."
Viola has never understood it. If you want to say that the Demon Kingdom of Subia and the Demon Kingdom of Tandron have a grudge against Avarus, it is possible for them to unite. It is understandable that the Demon Kingdom of Lakshurya wants a flat farmland and wants a share of the pie.
But the Demon Kingdom of Enwei doesn't understand it at all. They have no territorial borders with Avarus, and they don't have any enmity. The relationship between the two countries is not an alliance, but it's not too bad either. It's really hard to figure out why they suddenly cooperated to attack together.
What's more, even the capital of the First Army doesn't know the reason. I'm afraid only the top figures in the power pyramid know it, such as the Demon King.
"That's it. Thank you for your answer."
Viola took a deep breath and raised the blade of the sword, and Homan also held the hilt of the giant sword with both hands. The atmosphere of friendly communication just now disappeared, and was replaced by a fighting intention aimed at each other.
The fountain between the two people roared, and soon it fell back according to the designed pattern.
At this moment, the two of them exerted force on their legs at the same time, and their bodies seemed to disappear from the retina in an instant.
There was a crisp sound of metal collision between the two of them, and the sparks caused by the collision of swords were instantly drowned by the heavy rain falling from the sky.
When the rain slid down the outer edge of the armor again, the figures of the two men finally became clear.
There was a gap in Homan's giant sword, and a crack appeared in Viola's breastplate.
"Your Majesty, your swordsmanship is orthodox court swordsmanship, but it is not concentrated enough."
In the first confrontation, Viola suffered a bit, as there was a huge gap in experience between the two sides.
Compared to the Tiger of the Kingdom who was killed by Viola herself, Homan was at the peak of his physical and mental strength, and his long-term combat experience was beyond what Viola could compare to.
But Viola was not discouraged. She turned around and faced Homan again and raised her sword.
At that moment, surging divine power emerged from Viola's body, and the strong spiritual light almost illuminated the fountain square in front of the royal city gate. The huge pressure made it difficult for the soldiers watching the battle to breathe.
Facing Huanghuang's power, Homan felt as if his whole body was under heavy pressure, but he did not lower his head or even bend his knees.
Like an air bomb, the manic energy greatly strengthened Homan's physical ability. Both sides knew that the first move was just a test, and the second move would determine the winner.
Concentrate, concentrate again, don't squander it like the first time you control divine power. Power should be used in the most critical places.
Viola was still growing, and she gradually figured out the correct way to use her divine power. The aura gathered towards the blade in her hand, and in the blink of an eye, the long sword named Flame Fang turned into something like a sword of light.
On Homan's side, the giant sword was also very destructive with the blessing of strength. With a slight swing, the flat square seemed to have been crushed by heavy pressure, and cracks exploded.
When the strength of both sides reached the limit, they charged towards each other again.
This time, it was faster and more difficult to capture than the first move. In most people's eyes, it was just a flash of light, and then the darkness brought by the dark clouds once again shrouded their vision.
There was no explosion, no bright aura, just two people passing each other.
Viola's breastplate was completely shattered this time, revealing the chain mail shirt and cotton armor lining underneath the armor, while Homan slowly turned around, as if he was not injured at all.
But his face was pale, and he reluctantly showed his last smile to Viola.
"Well done, Your Majesty."
Then the light of divine power burst out from his chest, like a glowing crack, almost tearing Homan in half. His short body fell down, and the sword in his hand was broken into several sections.
Viola approached slowly, gently closed Homan's eyes, and placed the hilt of the giant sword on his chest.
"Send someone to deliver his body to the retreating Enwei Demon Kingdom army. The knight should not be buried in a foreign land."
At this time, the dark clouds summoned by the divine power finally cleared up, and streaks of sunlight poured down like sharp swords piercing the darkness, falling on the square in front of the royal city gate.
Viola knew she had won.
You can’t sit on a leaky loaf of bread, especially in winter. Don’t ask me how I know that. _(:з ∠)_
