The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 100 The War Begins

Beside, a trace of worry flashed in Frost's eyes.

"Don't fight with your life!"

Bachelor Frost felt uneasy. Both Connard and Orens were high-ranking knights. If they fought for their lives, they would both lose.

"Relax, Maester Frost."

Sauron shook his head, and said softly: "I will watch them, and if there is any danger, stop it immediately."

Conrad has waited too long for this duel.

Therefore, he would never allow Orens to show mercy to his subordinates. Sauron knew this very well, but naturally he would not watch them both suffer.

"Be careful, Knight Konrad!"

Orens said in a deep voice. Facing the attacking Konrad, he also raised the cross sword in his hand and collided with the opponent's weapon.

Clang!

The sound of the sword blades clashing seemed to set off a wave of air, and Connard jumped up, holding the sword with both hands and slashing down blatantly.

Ding! ! !
Orens raised his hand to block, his legs bent slightly, and while stepping back quickly, he waved a sword aura.

Two high-level knights clashed at a very short speed.

In a moment, more than ten rounds of battle ended, Konrad let out a low growl, the power of the life seed in his body exploded, and Orens was repelled with a sword.

"You're stronger than ever, Conrad."

Orens stabilized his figure, with a look of approval on his face, but then, a calm gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Next, I have to be serious!"

While speaking, Orens's demeanor changed suddenly, like a solitary beast in the deep forest, its eyes fixed on its prey.

Next to him, Sauron's heart moved, knowing that Orens had used the power of the life seed.

"I'm ready, come on!"

There was a hint of ferocity on Connard's face. Facing Orens who was going all out, not only did he not feel the slightest fear, but he was a little excited inside.

For high-level knights, if they want to break through the realm, they must endure the tempering between life and death.

Since embarking on the road of knights decades ago, Konrad has always aimed at this. For this reason, he didn't even marry a wife or have children, and wholeheartedly pursued the realm of the strong.

However, even so, Konrad still failed to take that step.

But now, the battle with Orens has caused some waves in Connard's heart, as if he is about to climb over that mountain.

The next moment, Orens no longer hesitated.

The black cross sword seemed to turn into a shadow, shrouding Connard's head, and at this moment, the Steel Heart Knight also unleashed all its power.

"Splitting Blade Sky Rush!"

With a roar, Connard used his strongest sword move, shooting up into the sky like a torrent, bursting out with a powerful aura.

Zheng! !

There was a loud bang in the confrontation between the cross swords, and Connard let out a muffled groan, a bloodstain on his chest seemed to explode.

"Cough cough..."

The steel heart knight stepped back one after another, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, the cross swords were stuck in the ground, and a pale color appeared on his face.

"I lost..." A trace of unwillingness flashed in Konrad's eyes.

"Yes, you lost."

Orens expressionless, wiped the blood from his mouth, and slowly inserted the black cross sword back into the scabbard with trembling palms.

"Haha, happy!"

At this time, Konrad suddenly laughed twice and stood up from the ground. Although he still failed to defeat Orens in this battle, he also got rid of his own demons.

At least, Orens was also injured in this battle!
"Is this the strength of father?"

Next to him, Sauron witnessed the whole process of the battle, and a thought flashed in his eyes.

It has been nearly a year since he traveled to this world, and Sauron has seen many knights, including nearly ten senior knights.

However, there has never been any high-ranking knight with the power of Orens.

Sauron even suspected that even he might not be able to defeat Orens if they fought purely with knight means.

It is worthy of being the Night Crow Knight who stood out in the martial arts competition.

"Perhaps, it won't be long before father becomes a great knight, right?"

Thoughts flickered in Sauron's mind. Among the high-level knights he had seen, if someone could be promoted to a great knight, Orens's chances would definitely rank first.

After the duel between the two senior knights was over, Konrad returned to the castle to rest.

Orens wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a nonchalant expression on his face.

Compared with Conrad, his injury is not worth mentioning.

"Father's condition hasn't returned to its peak yet?"

Sauron stepped forward and saw that in the battle just now, although Orens defeated Conrad, he was not at his peak strength.

"Eighty percent."

Orens nodded slightly and sighed: "After sleeping for too long, my body has become stiff, otherwise I would not have been injured in the battle just now."

Sauron nodded, and said again: "Father, have you already touched the threshold of the Great Knight?"

"It's that easy."

Orens shook his head slightly, with a trace of complexity in his tone, and said quietly: "The journey of knights, as long as you practice breathing to the extreme, anyone has the opportunity to be promoted to a high-level knight."

"The great knight is different."

"In addition to talent, there is more opportunity. As far as I know, in history, any high-level knight was promoted to a great knight, and the process was life and death!"

Hearing what Orens said, Sauron had a thoughtful look on his face.

"Have you experienced life and death?"

Thoughts flickered in Sauron's mind.

It seems that if a high-level knight wants to be promoted to the realm of a great knight, under normal circumstances, only through life and death can he have a chance.

However, if you have a proficiency panel, you may not need to go through these.

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.

Since Ander's death, the situation in the Principality of Tal has become even more chaotic. The fourth prince, Galen, led the army from the east to the capital, but was intercepted by the army from the north led by Hester in the peak mountain valley.

The soldiers of the two armies faced each other across the mountain, but they were very calm and did not take the initiative to attack.

And here in the west.

According to the original plan, Night Crow City, Riverrun City, Moon Mountain City and Chishui City planned to form an alliance near Moon Lake.

As a result, the alliance hadn't even started yet, but one thing happened that shattered everyone's illusions.

The lord of Yueshan City died suddenly. The blood lion knight Rokas led an army of [-], captured Yueshan City without warning, and directed his troops at Chishui City.

Obviously, Fels, the Duke of the Western Territory, no longer intends to abide by the superficial rules of the Principality of Tarr and forcibly complete the unification of the Western Territory!

After learning about Yueshan City, the lord of Chishui City was shocked.

He asked for help from Riverrun and Nightcrow all night.

Soon, the lords of the three cities immediately formed an alliance, and jointly gathered [-] soldiers and rushed to the Chishui River Plain to fight against the army in the west.
