"Haha, it's a pity. The Golden Knight beside His Highness is said to be a very beautiful woman, and she's His Highness' lover. It's a pity that we couldn't find the whereabouts of the Golden Knight and His Highness even after we conquered Felix's capital. What a pity. Otherwise, I'd really like to meet her. Perhaps it'd be nice to have her as a concubine … Haha … "Master Swordsman Rimard suddenly interrupted, giving Count Churjwick, who was wiping his sweat, a way out.
"Is that so?" A cold glint flashed in Laurist's eyes. Shiward, who was standing behind him, stiffened. He could feel the murderous intent emanating from Laurist, but it quickly disappeared.
Laurist smiled and nodded at Count Churjwick, "Can you tell me about the valiant generals under His Highness' command? With 300,000 soldiers under his command, there must be many brave knights under him. Who are the Five Tigers? "
"Alright, of course I'd be happy to explain, Count Churjwick." Count Churjwick grabbed a small linen towel from the table and wiped the sweat off his forehead, then stood up.
Count Dalek of the Sabaji Duchy, who was sitting at the table to his left, looked at him strangely. He could already feel that something was wrong with Count Churjwick. It seemed that he was in awe of the Northern Count sitting opposite him. Whether it was his reply or his posture, they were all more respectful than he was to Duke Fisablun, who was sitting at the head of the table.
"Actually, His Highness has more than 20 to 30 Golden Knights and 200 to 300 Silver Knights under him. There are also two level-1 Master Swordsmen by his side. However, these two Master Swordsmen are the Andinac Royal Family's worshippers. After the death of the third prince, they became His Highness's bodyguards.
Among the many Golden Knights under His Highness' command, His Highness trusts the Five Tigers the most. That Flower is the Golden Knight named Christie. She's the commander of His Highness' guards, so she can give orders on behalf of His Highness. The Five Tigers were five Golden Knights. They might not be the most powerful among the many Golden Knights under the second prince's command, but they were the five generals who were the best at leading troops under the second prince.
The commander of the First Imperial Guard Legion was Bowen Cody. Of the 3 Gold stars, it was said that he had followed the second prince for the longest time. The commander of the Second Guards Legion, Heathred, was also an old subordinate of the Second Prince. The remaining three served as regimental commanders. Among them, the Golden Knight Weli Balor was ordered to be the regimental commander of the new regiment formed by the captives. When 70,000 troops were drowned in the Magik province, he felt too ashamed to go back and see the second prince, so he rushed into the enemy and died bravely.
There was also the 2 Star Gold Knight Benji and the 1 Star Gold Knight Yaletum, who were known as Er Hu. They were both trusted aides and old subordinates of the Second Prince. However, Yaritom did not follow the second prince to the Redelis Kingdom this time, and Benski seemed to have been seriously injured when attacking a noble's manor in the Andvov province and was sent back to the Andinac Kingdom. The only ones who were trapped in the capital of Felicia were the Golden Knight and the two commanders of the Royal Guard Legions.
After attacking the capital of Felicia, we searched for a long time, but we could not find the whereabouts of the Golden Knight and the two commanders of the Royal Guard Legions. In the end, we could only suspect that the second prince had already escaped from the capital with his trusted aides and guards through a secret passage when the city fell. The most puzzling thing is that their whereabouts suddenly disappeared without a trace, just like the eldest prince. We expanded the search area but found nothing. "
"Count Churjwick, I would like to ask you something. There are two good friends of mine under the second prince. One is called Carritok, and the other is called Send. They were already 3 Silver stars four to five years ago. I wonder if you have heard of their names, and do you know where they are?" Laurist asked.
Count Churjwick frowned and thought for a long time before shaking his head. "I'm sorry, Count Norton. We have never heard of their names. I have gone through all the names of the Golden Knights who were captured and killed in battle, and I did not see these two names. There were only three 3 Silver stars who surrendered, not them. I don't know if they died in battle, but I will be happy to help you look for them when I return. If there is any news, I will send someone to write to you. "
Laurist sincerely bowed to Count Churjwick. "Thank you very much for your help."
Count Churjwick quickly returned the gesture. "You are welcome, Count Norton. It is my honor to be able to serve you."
"Hahaha …" The Golden Knight beside Prince Doke suddenly laughed maniacally. He pointed at Laurist and asked Count Churjwick, "No way, Count Churjwick. You're saying that it's an honor to serve this little noble in the North? Haha, I am dying of laughter. Are you guys acting like clowns? "
"Shut up!" Count Churjwick's expression changed.
"Count Churjwick, please be mindful of your status. You are a count of one of the four central duchies. Do not bow down to any random person. Remember your status as a noble!" Master Swordsman Riemard said in a strange tone.
"Bang!" Joost slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at Master Swordsman Riemard and shouted, "Old man, who are you calling a random person?"
Master Swordsman Riemard was furious. "How dare you point your finger at me?"
Then he saw the level 1 Great Swordsman next to the Golden Knight who was pointing at him stand up and beckon him with his finger. Great Swordsman Rimard's face immediately turned red. He was just a level 1 Great Swordsman, how dare he provoke him. How dare he! Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly felt a strong smell of blood coming from the level-1 swordsman. He was stunned and his butt stuck to the chair.
Master Swordsman Riemard was not stupid. It was not uncommon for a level-2 swordsman to be defeated by a level-1 swordsman. In the world of Great Swordsmen, only those who were half a step away from the peak and half a step away from becoming a Sword Saint would be considered untouchable by other Great Swordsmen. Otherwise, it was not impossible for a talented level-1 swordsman to defeat a level-3 swordsman with the right time, place, and people.
Just like the level-1 swordsman in front of him. His whole body was emitting a strong smell of blood. He was clearly a swordsman who struggled to become a swordsman. Even though he was only level-1, Master Swordsman Riemard might not be able to win against him. Those who advanced through life and death battles were not easy to bully. At this moment, Master Swordsman Riemard suddenly regretted saying so much …
"Your Highness, you see …" Master Swordsman Riemard turned to Grand Duke Fisabulon with a wronged expression. It was as if he and the others were provoked by Master Swordsman Joost and Hugh for no reason.
"Uh …" Grand Duke Fisabulon, who was sitting at the head, was enjoying the show. He did not expect Master Swordsman Riemard to suddenly kick the ball to his side. If a conflict broke out between the two sides, he would be happy to see Laurist's background. He would come out to be the peacemaker after a winner was decided. Now that Master Swordsman Riemard admitted defeat, as the host, he had to speak up.
"Count Norton, Master Swordsman Riemard and the others only said a few words. They did not mention any names. Why are you so nervous? Come, come, come, sit down. Let me give you a toast. "
He had to give face to Grand Duke Fisabulon. Laurist gently waved his hand, and Master Swordsman Joost and Hugh returned to their seats.
Unfortunately, the tree may desire peace, but the wind does not cease. Just as they sat down, Little Prince Doke sneered. "The few small nobles in the Northern Lands are really hot-tempered. Was it wrong to say that you are just a bunch of cats and dogs? Your Royal Highness, I don't understand why you let us wait outside for so long to welcome these barbarians from the north. What right do they have to make us wait here? What right do they have to let the nobles of the four central duchies who defeated the second prince's army of 300,000 wait outside? I think I need an explanation, Your Highness, Grand Duke Fisabulon … "
It turned out that this little prince had been indignant about him waiting outside the side palace for a while. In his opinion, when he arrived, Grand Duke Fisabulon did not even come out of the main palace. He only received them for a while. Yet, Grand Duke Fisabulon actually came out of the city to welcome these four northern nobles. This clearly showed that he did not put the four central duchies in his eyes. Why? They were just four northern barbarians.
Boom. This time, not only Joost and Master Swordsman Seuss, even Baron Filim and Baron Shahin slammed the table and stood up. "What did you say!"
Little Prince Doke rolled his eyes and disdainfully said, "Did I say that you were wrong? Northern barbarians are just barbarians from the Northern Lands. They don't understand the etiquette of nobles at all. "
Laurist chuckled and stood up. He pressed his hand in the air a few times, and the people who stood up suppressed their anger and sat back down. They only stared at Little Prince Doke with bloodshot eyes.
Laurist looked left and right, then waved at a guard standing at the door. "You, come here."
The guard was stunned. He pointed at his nose and looked at Grand Duke Fisabulon. Grand Duke Fisabulon nodded, so he hurriedly walked in front of Laurist and asked, "My Lord, what can I do for you?"
Laurist smiled and said, "Sorry to trouble you. I'll borrow it for a while."
With a swoosh, Laurist grabbed the guard's left hand and took off his glove.
This guard was wearing the standard cavalry equipment that the Norton Family had sold to the Fisabulon Family, code 103. His glove was made of cowhide and inlaid with metal, and it was quite heavy.
"Thanks, I'll return it to you later." Laurist turned around and raised his hand. The metal glove landed on Little Prince Doke's face. As if someone had punched him, Little Prince Doke screamed loudly. He grabbed the metal glove with one hand and covered his nose with the other. Tears and blood flowed out of his nose …
"What are you doing!" Master Swordmaster Riemard and the 3-star Gold Knight jumped up. Master Swordmaster Riemard supported Little Prince Doke as he glared at Laurist and scolded him. The 3-star Gold Knight had already pulled out his sword and stood in front of Little Prince Doke, glaring at Laurist as if he was facing a great enemy.
"Don't be so nervous. Didn't this Little Prince Doke say that we nobles in the north don't understand noble etiquette? This is an insult and humiliation to us nobles in the north, so I believe that this humiliation must be avenged with blood. Thus, according to noble etiquette, I challenged this prince to a knight's duel. What made me happy was that this prince still had some courage as a man. He caught the glove I threw and agreed to my duel request. Then, I want to know if this little prince is ready. I'll wait for him to come and duel … "
Laurist walked to the center of the hall and said, "You two, move aside. This is a duel between your prince and me. Do you want to ruin this sacred duel to the death? What is he going to use? An axe, a spear, or a sword? Or a challenge on horseback? As long as he asks, I can accept it … "
"Duel …" Master Swordmaster Riemard and the 3-star Gold Knight turned their heads and looked at the metal glove in Little Prince Doke's hand in disbelief.
F * ck, aren't white gloves supposed to be thrown in a duel? Northern barbarians really don't understand etiquette. How can he throw a metal glove? No, it didn't say that he couldn't throw a metal glove … No, the problem now is that the little prince caught the glove. This, this means that he agreed to the duel! Higwa above, what should I do …
Little Prince Doke finally recovered. Tears and snot flowed down his face as he waved the metal glove in his hand. "Kill, kill him. How dare, how dare he throw something at me …"
Master Swordmaster Riemard reminded him bitterly, "Your, Your Highness, he threw a glove at you. If you catch it, it means that you want to duel with him …"
Count Kenneth, Baron Filim, and the rest of Laurist's group laughed loudly. "Yes, it's a duel. I didn't expect this pretty boy prince to have some manliness. He dares to challenge Loke to a duel to the death. Haha, just wait to be cut into pieces …"
"Come out, let us see the courage of the nobles of the four central duchies!" Only Joost shouted.
"What? A duel to the death … Ah, I won't do it! " After hearing what everyone said, Little Prince Doke looked at the metal glove in his hand and threw it to the ground in fright.
"Your Highness …" Master Swordmaster Riemard and the 3-star Gold Knight panicked. If word got out that he had accepted the glove but refused to duel, the reputation of the Vorendor Family would be ruined. Little Prince Doke would be called a coward from then on.
"I … I didn't expect it to be a glove. If I had known, I wouldn't have accepted it. I … I won't duel with this damned barbarian. His, his status is not worthy of mine … "Little Prince Doke acted shamelessly for a long time, but he still refused to duel.
"Your Highness, you can't. If you don't duel, the reputation of the Vorendor Duchy will be ruined. Trust me, when His Highness finds out about this, your inheritance rights will definitely be taken away. It's fine to duel. This Count is only a Steel, and you're a Silver. You'll definitely win … "The 3-star Gold Knight hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"No, I can't. He's so big and strong. I, I definitely can't beat him …"
"I say, have you guys decided yet? If Your Highness doesn't dare to duel, I can allow your subordinates to fight for you." Laurist was getting impatient.
"You, you're serious?" Little Prince Doke was overjoyed. He pointed at the 3-star Gold Knight and said, "Henriman, go fight for me."
"Coward!" Joost and the others shouted.
The 3-star Gold Knight called Henriman unsheathed his sword and walked in front of Laurist.
Little Prince Doke regained his fighting spirit without having to fight himself. "Henriman, teach him a good lesson. Chop off his hands and tear his mouth apart …"
"Why aren't you unsheathing your sword?" Henriman looked at Laurist angrily. His face was so dark that it seemed to have turned into ice …
Laurist looked at him mockingly. "I'll lose if I unsheathe my sword against you."
Henriman's hair stood on end, and the veins on his hands popped. "I'm … I'm so angry. Go, go die!"
The longsword in his hand glowed with a golden light, and Henriman pounced forward.
In everyone's eyes, they only saw the Gold Knight called Henriman brush past Laurist. Then, they heard a soft crack. Henriman, who had rushed behind Laurist, suddenly stopped moving. He seemed to reach out to touch his neck, but when he raised his hand to his chest, his whole body trembled. He fell to the ground and stopped moving after kicking twice.
One move! The bare-handed Laurist had instantly killed a 3-star Gold Knight!
