The first to attack was Brando.
Kodan did not dare to be careless in the face of a famous Master Swordsman. He immediately unleashed the White Raven Sword Style.
The sword shattered from top to bottom, but the wind pressure from the sword formed a crescent-shaped gust of wind that swept towards Kodan and his soldiers. The air was either compressed into a thin blade, or pushed away by a huge force. However, the gust of wind that was pushed away was equally lethal. With a few loud bangs, the gust of wind had already broken the wooden pillars that supported the walls on both sides of the cliff.
Scarlett could not help but glance at the tunnel, worried that it would collapse at any moment.
However, even the sturdy wood could not withstand the impact of the cyclone, not to mention the guards who had not even reached the level of Iron. The wind from the sword swept through the entire corridor, and the ten guards immediately fell to the ground. If they were not beheaded, then they were cut in half at the waist.
The White Raven Sword Style was an intermediate level swordsmanship, and Kodan did not dare to take the attack head-on. He leaped up to avoid the sharpest part of the sword and used his hand to break through the cyclone at the top of the tunnel. At the same time, he thrust his sword towards Brando.
These veterans who had experienced ten years of war were most familiar with the classic Erouine military swordsmanship, and Kodan was no exception. However, Brando was very familiar with this style of swordsmanship. He quickly retreated when he saw Kodan's attack, and Scarlett caught up with him. Clang! She raised her halberd and blocked the sword.
"Lower Gold-tier." Kodan immediately judged Scarlett's strength. "Get out of my way!" The old man roared and pressed his sword downwards. Scarlett's eyes widened in shock, and she took seven steps back before she could stop herself.
Kodan was also shocked. He thought that Scarlett would at least retreat to the side of the tunnel, but she stopped at such a short distance. Obviously, he did not expect Scarlett's physique to be far superior as an Oracle.
As soon as the old man landed on the ground, he immediately launched an attack on Brando who was retreating. The captain's goal was very clear. He wanted to break through —
But how could Brando let him do as he wished? Although the sword in his hand had shattered, he was already prepared and immediately pulled out another long sword. Kodan finally understood why the young man had prepared so many swords, but it was a joke that a gold-ranked swordsman didn't have a sword that suited him.
The old man sneered and took a step forward. The long sword in his hand was like a silver chain as it slashed down towards Brando. That sword move could not be said to be exquisite. It was just the most basic sword move of a battle formation sword art. However, when this old swordsman used it, it felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him.
"Holy sh * t!" Brando felt that he had made a mistake in his judgement. Whether it was Conrad or Tirste, none of the gold-ranked swordsman he had seen before could compare to this old man. Even Buga, who was stronger than him, did not give him as much pressure as Kodan.
Brando knew the reason. The former was just a swordsman, while the latter was a soldier. He had only seen this kind of aura and swordsmanship from one person in this world.
The White Knight, Ebdon.
It could be said that other than the Oracle of the Earth, Ebdon was the one who forced Brando into a corner the most. Ebdon was only a Silver-ranked swordsman. Although Brando's own strength was weak, others might not be able to do the same.
The soldier's swordsmanship was unrestrained, with an innate killing intent and aura. It was as if he was not wielding a sword, but a wall. It gave people the illusion that there was no way to avoid it and that a great disaster was about to befall them.
Ebdon's swordsmanship was one of the best, and Kodan was a veteran who had fought in the war for ten years. His swordsmanship was far superior to Ebdon's, and even Brendel who had been on the battlefield for a long time felt a chill run down his spine.
However, ashes were ashes after all. Brando gritted his teeth and dodged to the side, causing Kodan's sword to miss. The sword hovered in the air, but the air current lashed down like a whip. With a loud 'bang', a ten meter long dent appeared in the ground.
The entire tunnel seemed to tremble.
Brando's scalp went numb. For the first time, he felt that it was not a wise choice to fight Kodan here. No matter how he looked at it, the tunnel would not be able to withstand their attacks.
However, Kodan did not seem to mind. He was slightly surprised that Brando was able to dodge his attack. His grey eyebrows twitched slightly. However, he did not slow down and immediately swung his sword towards Brando.
He wanted to force Brando away.
This series of attacks happened in the blink of an eye. Scarlet had just stabilized herself. Brando saw Metisha rushing towards him, but she was still a step away. Kodan's sword was right in front of him, but he could not retreat.
However, Brando was furious. 'Do you think I'm a sick cat if I don't show my might?'
He activated [Charge], and with a burst of speed, he disappeared from Kodan's sight. When he reappeared, he had already dodged Kodan's sword and stabbed towards his throat.
'What incredible speed!'
Kodan could tell that this was the Sun Knight's skill. He blocked the attack with his own hand. When their swords clashed, both of them could tell that the other's understanding of swordsmanship was different. They were both Erouine's Battle Formation Swordsmanship, but at this moment, it was time to determine who was better.
Kodan was excited, but when he saw Brando take a step back and his sword slanted to the side, his eyes flashed.
'This isn't Erouine's Battle Formation Swordsmanship!'
Kodan immediately took a step back and blocked Metisha's spear with his own sword. However, he did not take any further action. Instead, he shouted in a deep voice:
"Stop!"
… …
When Brando and Kodan began to fight, the entire tunnel shook a few times.
Jocah felt sand falling on his shoulder. He touched it with his hand and looked up at the top of the tunnel. He could not help but ask worriedly: "What's going on? Did the tunnel collapse? "
He turned to his companions and asked: "Did you guys feel it?"
Maher and the others were busy digging. They had almost dug out the object from the wall. Because it was too sharp, they had no choice but to start from the sides and slowly push this shiny silver object out of the gradually sunken rock wall.
When the rock layer was peeled away, they could see the outline of the object. It was not a sword, but more like a silver sphere. 'But why is it so sharp?' They could not figure it out.
The sphere slowly protruded from the wall. Some of them even touched it carefully, but it was not a big deal. This made them feel relieved.
But at this time, the girl shivered. "I feel a little cold." She looked around anxiously as if something was hiding in the darkness. "The temperature seems to have dropped."
Cohen's attention was focused on the silver sphere. There was a faint golden color on its surface. He had read about this metal in a book left behind by a monk — Mithril.
The young man's eyes couldn't help but burn. In his memory, compared to the value of Mithril, Winter Iron was no different from a rock.
He shook his head after hearing what the girl and Jocah said, "There are occasional tremors in the mine, but they're very small. There's nothing to be surprised about. Don't scare yourself."
Then he turned around and said, "You know what, we're rich now." He smiled. "Now we don't have to go out and make a living. We can live the life we want —"
However, before he could finish his sentence, Maher suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone turned to look at him.
After Maher swung his pickaxe down, a large chunk of the rock wall suddenly fell off, revealing a layer of smooth black rock behind. Everyone couldn't help but be stunned. They thought that the blue Cold Iron Ore vein was at least one to half a meter deep, but they didn't expect there to be such a thing behind it.
"This isn't natural!" someone suddenly shouted: "Look, there are words on it!"
Everyone looked over, and sure enough, they saw a row of densely packed words written on the black rock wall. However, it seemed that because of the passage of time, the words had already become blurred. No one could see what was written on it. Cohen slowly walked over and touched it. It was cold to the touch.
He turned his hand over and saw a patch of black on it. "It's rust," he said, "This is iron."
"What is it?" someone asked.
The other youths looked at each other. Cohen did not know how to answer. He had some knowledge, but it was limited. This strange excavation made him feel a little nervous, but there was also a faint excitement.
Even in the young man's confused state of mind, he could roughly guess that he had dug up something incredible.
"Come, let's continue digging. We'll dig it out." Maher was a man of action.
"Wait, you know what it is?" Jocah said in annoyance. He had been worried since the beginning. "Plus, it's so big. You won't be able to bring it out even if you dig it out."
The last sentence moved Maher. He stopped and looked at Cohen with a questioning gaze.
"Let's dig out the silver ball first." Cohen checked the iron wall and found nothing. He lost interest and decided to get the actual benefits first.
But this time, as soon as he finished speaking, the entire tunnel shook. This time, it was different from before. It was as if the entire tunnel was shaking violently.
All the youths were shaken to the ground at the first moment.
"Look, that thing is glowing!"
A voice suddenly shouted amidst the screams.
