After receiving Li Huailin's order, Rickson slowly turned to Rednor, his right hand slowly holding onto his weapon. "I, Rickson, accept the challenge. State your name."
"Rickson? A commoner without a surname? I thought you were a knight. I didn't expect to mistake you for someone else. Oh, right, you don't even have a badge on you. Do you think you are a knight just because you're wearing armor? "Rednor said with a smile.
"You don't have to judge whether I am a knight or not." Rixon pulled out his sword and said to Rednor in front of him, "I'm sorry, but I won't let you go back safely today."
"Oh, interesting. What else do you want to do to me?" Rednor smiled, then stood directly in front of Rickson, looked down at him, and said, "Make your move, kid. Let me see your swordsmanship."
"Draw your sword." Rickson was not provoked by his opponent's words. Instead, he calmed down. He was also a person who had been on the battlefield, so he naturally knew that emotions were useless at this time. He had to face the enemy calmly.
"Draw my sword? I don't need to draw my sword against you. " Rednor said, "With your strength, you can't kill me even if I stand here without moving."
"What!?" Even Riksson, who was trying to persuade himself to calm down, was a little enraged at this moment. His opponent was looking down on him too much. No swordsman could remain indifferent after being provoked like this. "Draw your sword and fight me."
"I already said, your level is not enough for me to draw my sword," Rednor repeated again.
"You bastard!" Rickson was really angry, but he did not know what to do. If his opponent did not draw his sword and started the duel, even if he won, people would say that it was a trick or something.
"Alright, hurry up." At this time, Li Huailin spoke. A guard next to him had just moved a chair from the side for Li Huailin to sit down. However, the two of them were standing at the entrance of the arena hall, completely blocking the hall. It was not a good idea to keep wasting time like this because the competition was about to begin.
"Rixon, let's begin. The other party volunteered not to use weapons, so there's no need to worry," Legg said.
"In that case, don't blame me." Richson nodded, then raised his sword and got into a fighting stance.
"Come here, kid." Rednor stood still and only waved at Rixon.
"Damn it, you!" Rixon was really enraged. He raised his sword and slashed at Rednor's chest from top to bottom.
Rickson's attack didn't penetrate his opponent's armor. It only left a trail of sparks on his opponent's chest. Other than that, there was no other reaction. Rednor took Rickson's attack without even moving.
"What?!" Rixon couldn't believe it. He had used at least 90% of his strength in that strike just now. It could be said that he was very confident in his attack, but the other party actually took his attack without even moving. He looked up and saw that there wasn't even a scratch on Rednor's armor.
"You're not even fit to tickle me," Rednor said with a slight smile. "Did you attack just now?"
"What armor is that?" Rixon couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing special. This is just a custom-made armor by a dwarven master craftsman for me. It's not very sturdy. Again, your attack is really not good enough," Rednor said with a smile.
"It's probably an armor mixed with darksteel," Legg said in Li Huailin's ear. "This is going to be troublesome."
"Oh …" Li Huailin nodded, still looking at it nonchalantly.
"You're just relying on your sturdy armor. I thought you were amazing," Rixon suddenly said.
"Oh, is that so? Then you can give it a try, "Rednor said without giving Rixon any face.
Rixon took a deep breath, then slowly retracted his longsword and held it in front of him with both hands, preparing to stab forward.
"Very good. You've calmed down." Legg nodded. "If you choose to stab, you can concentrate your strength on one point and break through the opponent's sturdy armor."
"Oh? You want to stab me? " Rednor naturally saw Rixon's movement, but he didn't respond. Instead, he continued to step forward with his hands on his waist, exposing his chest, and said, "Come on, I want to see how much strength you can exert."
"Don't … underestimate me!" After Rixon finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward, his body almost leaving an afterimage behind. At the same time, he exerted force from his ankles all the way up to his wrists, and with both hands holding his sword, he thrust it forward. The tip of the sword was pointed straight at his opponent's chest. It was obvious that he was aiming for his opponent's heart.
"Oh?" On the other side, Rednor's expression changed slightly. Perhaps he didn't expect Rickson's swordsmanship to be so high. The sudden thrust was too perfect. Although he was surprised, his body didn't move, and he just stood there, waiting for Rickson's attack.
"Clang!" Another metallic sound rang out. Everyone saw a sword with a trace of blood flying out from between the two and stabbing into the ground. Looking at the two, the two were still standing face to face. However, Rednor, who was stabbed, didn't change at all. He still stood there without taking a step back. On the other hand, Rickson wasn't in a good state. The sword in his hand had already flown out. Not only that, but his hands were also stained with his own blood. Taking a closer look, because he had exerted too much force and didn't manage to pierce through his opponent's armor, the recoil caused his hands to break. Now, blood was flowing out.
"This … This is impossible …" Rixon didn't seem to accept the reality of his defeat. He looked at his bleeding hands and murmured, "Rixon!"
"Rixon!" Legg hurriedly shouted. That was his subordinate. He didn't expect the other party to break Rixon's arms without even moving. How could he tolerate this? Seeing this situation, Legg immediately wanted to step forward, but before he could take a step forward, he was held down by a big hand next to him, making him unable to move at all.
"Bruno!" Legg immediately said when he turned around and saw that the person who held him down was Bruno.
"Minister, the two of them are having a fair duel between knights. We can't interfere before the winner is decided," Bruno said immediately when he saw Legg lose his composure.
"Isn't the winner already decided?" Legg immediately said.
"Not yet. Rixon hasn't admitted defeat," Bruno said coldly.
Legg finally came to his senses. There were only two outcomes in a duel between knights. One was to admit defeat, and the other was to die. There was no third outcome. Although Rixon had lost, and everyone knew that, as long as he hadn't admitted defeat, the duel wasn't over yet.
"How about it? Do you want to die? Kid? " Rednor finally made his move. He took a step forward and stood in front of Rickson. His meaning was clear. If you want to live, you have to admit defeat.
"Admit defeat?" Rixon looked at Rednor and suddenly said with a smile, "Sorry, our marshal didn't teach us how to admit defeat at all."
"That's a pity." Rednor said as he pulled out his sword and raised it. "Your foundation isn't bad. Unfortunately … you're still not qualified."
Rixon smiled and closed his eyes. Legg immediately turned to Li Huailin, but Li Huailin didn't move. He just sat there and watched. Legg was very anxious. Rixon was his old subordinate, but the two were in a duel. He couldn't interfere at all.
"Puchi!" While Legg was hesitating, Rednor's sword had already slashed through Rickson's chest. A large amount of blood immediately spurted out from the wound. Rickson's eyes widened as he fell to the ground.
"Rixon!" Legg immediately rushed over and supported Rixon on the ground. However, Rednor's attack was very accurate. His sword hit Rixon's vitals. Rixon's life force rapidly flowed out, and his eyes became a little unfocused. It seemed like he was about to die.
"Leader … I'm sorry … to disappoint you …" Rixon said as he placed his bloody hand on Legg's armor.
Legg was on the verge of tears. He bit his lips and said, "Don't say anymore. You've done very well … Don't say anymore."
However, Rixon obviously didn't hear Legg's words. After saying that, Rixon's body went limp and he passed away.
"Rixon!" Legg shook his head and slowly put down Rixon's body. He then slowly turned to look at Rednor. "You! I … "
"I challenge you now." Before Legg could finish his words, a voice suddenly interrupted him. Legg turned his head and found that the person who spoke was Bruno, who was standing beside him.
"Challenge me?" Rednor turned to look at Bruno. Both of them looked at each other, but Rednor immediately smiled. "Why should I accept your challenge? If so many of you challenge me one by one, I'll be exhausted to death by you guys sooner or later."
"That won't happen." At this time, Li Huailin suddenly said, and then pointed to Bruno. "He is the last one. Beat him, and you will be the leader of my knights in the future."
"Is that true?" Rednor was excited and asked hurriedly.
"Of course." Li Huailin nodded.
"Okay, no problem." Rednor quickly agreed, as if he was afraid that Li Huailin would go back on his words. "I've struck it rich this time."
