Time passed day by day.
Magic phones had become popular all over the world, and magic firearms had begun to be equipped in the special legions of many countries. However, these did not have any impact on magic games and yellow dragon wine. On the contrary, the sales of magic game helmets did not decline but rose to a new level.
Although the Jinyao Territory was still prosperous and lively, some contradictions hidden in the dark in the territory began to gradually become clear.
The Iron Scale, sent by Rex The Great and stationed in Jinyao Territory to "protect" Prince Arthur, had conflicts with the newly established Jade Army in Jinyao Territory more than once or twice.
One side was the "Central Army" sent by the emperor, and the other side was the "local armed forces", which originally represented different interests. Moreover, the Iron Scale seemed to have some kind of acquiescence or hint from the forces behind them, and their provocation against the Jade Army was escalating day by day.
The combat effectiveness had always been the weakest link in Jinyao Territory. Originally, when Garfield "handed over" the Jinyao Territory, he had taken almost all the military forces with him. The main members of the Jade Army that was later established were the security team recruited by Samuel, who were responsible for both daily security and garrison. Although there was a gold knight like Samuel as the commander, its combat effectiveness was far from comparable with the regular elites like the Iron Scale because of the short time of establishment.
However, the Jade Army had a strong reinforcement, which was the Temple Knights from the Church of Light.
This time, the Temple Knights followed the Cardinal Glalin to Jinyao Territory. Although there were not many of them, each of them was an elite. The leader of the team was Gemünden, the eldest disciple of the "Radiant Sword Saint" Pasari of the Cang Thunder Hall of the Holy Mountain of Light, who was also known as the "Lightning Sword Saint".
Pasari had already entered the super rank and became a kingdomized master. He intended to leave the mundane affairs and focus on cultivation to further pursue a higher realm of power. The Cang Thunder Hall was currently managed by Gemünden. Gemünden was also regarded as the next master of the Cang Thunder Hall and would become a core figure of the church alongside the Cardinal and the Chief Inquisitor.
With Gemünden's current status, he had already known the real identity of "Arthur" in the church. Naturally, he dared not neglect it. On the surface, he only protected the prince "Arthur" and coordinated the conflicts in the territory. In fact, most of the time, he was partial to the Jade Army. Due to the extraordinary status of the Church of Light, even the Iron Scale did not dare to offend them easily. Not only did he help train the Jade Army in the Jinyao Territory, but he also stood up for the Jade Army many times to resist the provocation of the Iron Scale.
One day, as soon as Gemünden came out of the quiet room, he received a report from the Temple Knights. The Iron Scale had a fierce conflict with the Jade Army in the Flower Tavern, the largest tavern in the city. Some people had been killed in the conflict, and more than one person had been killed.
Gemünden frowned secretly. He was very clear about the reason for the conflict between the Iron Scale and the Jade Army. Although there were many conflicts between the two armies, at most, there were serious injuries. This time, people were killed, and he was afraid that the Iron Scale would not let it go.
When Gemünden arrived at the Flower Tavern, the largest tavern was in a mess. It had been demolished into ruins, and there was a pool of blood on the ground.
The surrounding people were talking about it. When Gemünden asked, he learned that it was the soldiers of the Iron Scale who made trouble in the Flower Tavern. When the Jade Army's security team arrived, the Iron Scale did not stop but injured the captain of the security team.
Upon hearing the news, the high-level combatants of both sides rushed over and started fighting. The accumulated resentment for a long time was unleashed. The Iron Scale Army was the first to strike ruthlessly, killing a guard from the Emerald Corps and seriously injuring two innocent bystanders. Originally, the two sides had a long history of resentment. This time, the conflict suddenly escalated. Soon, the Flower Tavern became the Blood Tavern.
The leaders of the two armies, Samuel and Trinidad, came to hear the news, but they did not calm the situation. Instead, their words were extremely sharp, but they did not start a fight here. Instead, they led the two sides out of the city to the south.
Gemünden was taken aback. The southern suburbs was a plain, the most suitable for fighting. It seemed that today's conflict was more serious than any previous one. He was afraid that there would be a large-scale battle between the two groups of people.
Calculating the time, the two sides should be out of the city not long ago. Gemünden immediately ordered the accompanying Knights of the Temple to inform the Lord Arthur, and he quickly flew to the southern suburbs.
Gemünden's flying speed was very fast. Soon he found the two sides confronting each other on the plains of the southern suburbs. There were about four or five hundred people on both sides, led by Samuel and Trinidad. It seemed that they were ready to fight at any moment.
"Stop!" Gemünden's figure flashed and appeared between the two sides.
Trinidad was tall and thin, with short brown hair. When he saw Gemünden, his face showed a sarcastic smile: "You're lucky, Samuel. Your protector is here."
Gemünden frowned: "Both of you are the commanders of the legion. No matter what happened, you can't be so impulsive. Please stay calm."
"Sir Gemünden, if it's just some insignificant conflict, I'm happy to give you face." Trinidad sneered: "But today, 5 of my brothers have been killed by the Jade Army. This is no longer my personal problem, but it's related to the dignity of the entire The Iron Scale. Please forgive me for not agreeing. Sir Gemünden is a well-known knight and the successor of Sir Pasari. You should know that this kind of shame can only be washed with sword and blood. If you insist on intervening in this matter as a Knights of the Temple, The Iron Scale will fight to the death even if they know that they are no match for you. "
These words were full of sarcasm. Gemünden had always regarded his teacher Pasari as a fair and strict role model. When he heard Trinidad calling him a knight, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Seeing Gemünden's hesitation, Trinidad immediately shouted to Samuel: "Samuel, if you're a man, stand up and fight to the death. You're also a soldier of the empire. Do you only dare to hide behind others like a cowardly woman?"
Samuel stood up coldly: "Since you want to die, you can't blame others. Sir Gemünden, please be the arbiter. I'm going to end this shameless villain today! Trinidad, you keep saying that I'm a coward. You broke my hands and feet when I was imprisoned in prison. Later, you used despicable means to frame me with my weapon. You're the real coward! Now, I'm here. Do you dare to have a duel to the death with me? "
Hearing that it was a duel to the death, not only Gemünden, but even the soldiers of the army were shocked.
Trinidad squinted his eyes and revealed a strange smile: "Do you really think that you have the battle power of a Saint just because you reached the Saint level earlier than me? Although I reached the Saint level later than you, this is a power that truly belongs to me! Since you want to die, why would I refuse? Sir Gemünden, you're a true knight. I believe that you'll make the most fair decision. I now officially accept Samuel's request for a duel to the death! "
Since both sides were determined to have a fair duel to the death, Gemünden couldn't stop them. Thus, under the witness of the soldiers from both sides, Trinidad and Samuel arrived at an open space.
The rules were very simple. There were no restrictions on the venue or the methods used. It was only a duel to the death.
Samuel slowly drew out his long saber, "Flying Centipede". His angry eyes calmed down, faintly revealing a sharp spirit, like a long saber that was about to be unsheathed, about to show off its edge.
Trinidad laughed coldly. His body was suddenly enveloped by black and red mist. The mist quickly condensed into a set of equipment. In his right hand was a jet-black broadsword, while in his left hand was a light red tower shield. It seemed to be a set with the red and black half-body armor on his body. His entire body started to emit a thick and dangerous light.
"Ashes Equipment Set!" Gemünden cried out involuntarily. This was a well-known Legendary-level equipment set. It was made up of the Ashes Blade (sword), the Ashes Defense (shield), and the Ashes Defense (armor). It had powerful offensive and defensive abilities. Especially when the three pieces of equipment appeared on the same person, they could also have the effects of "speed up" and "immense strength". Its power was very shocking.
In comparison, Samuel had obviously come in a hurry this time. He was only wearing a set of ordinary leather armor, which formed a sharp contrast.
It was very obvious that Trinidad had come prepared. Even this provocation was premeditated. It was no wonder that he would reveal such a strange smile when he heard about a duel to the death. Although it seemed unfair, the equipment factor was within the scope of the rules. Therefore, it was not convenient for Gemünden to stop the duel.
Trinidad's smile had already become sinister. In fact, Samuel's suggestion of a duel to the death was exactly what he wanted. This was because Prince Garfield had given him a mission a long time ago, and that was to kill Samuel!
This "Ashes Equipment Set" was given to him by Garfield. The tower shield and armor had a strong immunity effect against splash damage. This was to defend against the "Annihilation of Dawn" released by Samuel's "Flying Centipede". The Ashes Blade had a special poison effect. As long as it could cut the skin, it would cause the negative effects of paralysis and deceleration. Not only that, there was also a set of "True" black potions. On the way to the southern suburbs, Trinidad had secretly drunk it. Now that it was within the expiration date, his combat power was increased to the limit. This battle, he had to kill Samuel!
Samuel also recognized the "Ashes Equipment Set", but his expression was still calm and the "Flying Centipede" was placed horizontally in front of his chest.
At the moment when Gemünden announced the start of the duel, the soldiers only saw a blur, and Samuel had already disappeared. They only saw a blur in front of Trinidad, as if there was a shadow flashing. Not only the shadow of a person, but also the shadow of a light blue sword.
Trinidad waved his big shield continuously, and from time to time, dazzling sparks appeared. It was hard to tell who had the upper hand.
The weaker soldiers did not see it clearly, but as the arbitrator, Gemünden, saw it clearly. His expression changed slightly. In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already exchanged more than a dozen blows, and Trinidad was completely on the defense. He did not counterattack even once. This was not some kind of strategy, but because Samuel had been suppressing Trinidad, who was wearing the "Ashes Equipment Set"!
In fact, in Gemünden's eyes, every slash of Samuel had a huge flaw, and Trinidad could see it too. However, Samuel's speed was too fast. Before Trinidad could grasp the flaw to counterattack, the next slash had already arrived.
Speed was the only thing that could not be broken!
The more Gemünden watched, the more surprised he became. That kind of attack speed was too shocking. If it were him, and he only used the strength of Trinidad, he would also be at a disadvantage!
What surprised Gemünden was that Samuel, who maintained such a high speed attack, still had a long and steady breath. There was not the slightest hint of disorder, as if to him, this was just an ordinary attack rhythm.
Trinidad, who was at a disadvantage, could not believe everything in front of him. He had drunk the black potion and put on the "Ashes Equipment Set", but he was completely suppressed by Samuel. Moreover, Samuel's speed was so shocking. If it was not for the defense and ability of the "Ashes Equipment Set", he was afraid that he would have been defeated!
In Jin Yao City, the Temple Knights, who did not know that the duel in the southern suburbs had begun, hurriedly rushed to the Lord's Mansion to invite Chen Rui.
"Your Highness, the situation this time is very serious. Sir Gemünden asked me to invite you to go immediately."
"Got it." Chen Rui nodded. "Men, prepare the carriage to the southern suburbs."
"Please forgive my rudeness, Your Highness, but I'm afraid that we are running out of time. Let's go on horseback, otherwise the conflict may have already begun."
"Begun?" Chen Rui casually replied. Suddenly, he felt something. His eyes flashed, and he said meaningfully, "Yes, it has begun …"
