my armed maid

Chapter 69 66: Duels and Wars
After overwhelmingly annihilating the defending troops, the Knights headed straight for the prairie people's stronghold, intent on wiping them out in one fell swoop.

After a fierce battle, the grassland people had no available troops. Heavenly Father gathered all the remaining combat forces, but they could only gather 3000 people in total, most of whom were wounded who had retreated from the front line.

On the other hand, the Knights were full of momentum and elites. Not only were there white ravens in the air to help them, but there were also five chariots equipped with magic cannons on the ground.

There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. Although the final battle has not yet begun, the outcome is already determined.

Heavenly Father Hengdao immediately stood guard outside the stronghold door, looking at the Linfeng Knights galloping in front of him, his eyes were like a well with no bottom.

He knew it was death, but it was what he had to do.

It was he who personally pushed the Lebus tribe into the abyss of war. As a leader, he should bear the responsibility for the defeat.

Even if they have failed, as long as they delay the knights here for a little longer, the remaining Lebus tribesmen behind them will be able to escape further.

Maybe he could escape pursuit and start his life again somewhere outside the Linfeng territory.

Soon, Ryan led the knights outside the stronghold and confronted the Heavenly Father head-on.

Although it was the first time for the two of them to meet, they could both understand from each other's aura that the other party was an eighth-level knight of equal strength to themselves, and the strongest among both parties.

"I am Khan Luo, the heavenly father, and the king of the Lebus tribe."

Heavenly Father came on horseback, "General of Linfeng City, come and fight me!"

He was not proficient in Rolandic, and his accent was a bit strange.

"Duel?" Ryan shouted angrily, "You are worthy of a barbarian who is full of evil!"

The Roland people have a tradition of "dueling" since ancient times. In order to defend their honor, dignity and other lofty and holy things, under the witness of others, both parties can have a separate duel without interference from the outside world.

This tradition can be traced back to before the founding of the Empire, and famous duels in history are not uncommon.

In the past, there were indeed cases where when two forces were at war, in order to avoid meaningless sacrifices, both sides decided to send a general from each side to duel in front of the battle line to decide who would win and who would lose.

However, the basic scale of such a battle will not be too large, and both parties usually have a higher status and are willing to decide the outcome in a more civilized manner until one point is highlighted.

The war between the grassland people and Linfeng City obviously does not apply to this scenario.

They had a hateful attitude toward Linfeng City from the beginning. They not only burned, looted, and broke bones and sucked out marrow, but they also never concealed their extreme thoughts of massacring all the Roland people after Linfeng City was destroyed.

Such barbaric acts are considered cruel throughout human history.

It was their exposed fangs that made Linfeng City wake up from decades of peace and civilized society, and realize that this is a life-and-death war. If you want to survive, you must kill each other.

So they rose up to resist, and after making many sacrifices, they finally pushed this barbaric enemy to a desperate situation, and were only one step away from the final victory.

Now, Linfeng City's army was about to overwhelm the invaders. At this time, the invaders pretended to say to them: Let us have a duel?

Oh, it turns out that prairie people are still so chivalrous?

He had obviously treated civilians cruelly during the war and used despicable and despicable methods like spies, but now that he was about to die, he still resorted to the rhetoric of duel. He didn't know which three-year-old child he was planning to deceive.

Of course Ryan knew that this was an expedient measure intended by Heavenly Father to delay the battle. His real purpose was to buy time for the tribesmen to evacuate.

He didn't deserve to be his duel partner, and this serious war shouldn't end with such a childish show as a duel.

To put it bluntly, Linfeng City's current combat power can surely defeat the opponent, so why should it have to fight with the opponent and do so many fancy tricks?

Today he led the knights to come here in person with only one purpose, which is to complete revenge and annihilate all future threats to Linfeng City.

He looked coldly at Heavenly Father and his remaining troops a hundred steps away, and waved his long sword forward:
"attack!"

"Shhhh-"

The five chariots lined up in a row, aiming all the muzzles protruding from the side windows at the enemies in front. At the same time, the knights began to draw their bows and fire volleys, and the mages accompanying the army also began to cast spells.

Seeing that the request for a duel was rejected, the Heavenly Father looked up to the sky and screamed. He pulled up the reins and drove the horse to charge towards Ryan.

From the perspective of the prairie troops, the back view of him charging towards the knights is so tragic.

The magic cannon released its spell, and the tongues of flames of "Sky Burning Flame" were the first to spray onto his body.

The armor on his body was obviously not ordinary. He protected his face with his arms and at the same time used magic power to form a layer of protection on the surface of his skin. He was able to withstand the high temperature in a short period of time when he was in the fire.

However, he could resist high-level spells, but the war horse underneath him could not. The horse was instantly burned to death. He fell to the ground and rolled up, continuing to rush towards Ryan with a body of fire.

But this was just the beginning of the attack. The knight's arrow rain and the mage's spell followed. Sharp arrows, hot fireballs, sharp ground thorns, swift wind blades and other countless attacks completely blocked him. The way forward.

Countless attacks hit his body, and he suffered so much damage in an instant that even an eighth-level knight could not withstand it.

His armor had cracks under the continuous attacks, and the protection formed by magic was also destroyed. His body was instantly riddled with holes and suffered irreversible damage.

This is war. Even the Heavenly Father, who is as powerful as an eighth-level knight, experiences the weakness and weakness of personal power under the firepower of an entire knight order.

The distance between him and Ryan is not that far. Normally at his speed, it would only take two breaths to cross this distance. However, under the siege of the entire knights and five magic cannons, this distance is as close as the end of the world to him. .

He was hit by several arrows, his skin was torn apart by many spells, his body was covered in blood, and his face was as hideous as a ghost.

Even so, he still held on to his breath and rushed forward with long strides, as if he could win the final victory as long as he reached Ryan.

When he finally rushed ten steps away from Ryan, the pressure on his body suddenly lightened. At this time, the distance between the two was already close. If the troops in the rear launched another attack, it might affect Ryan.

Ryan looked at the Heavenly Father who was risking his life and rushed towards him, with a serious face, and slowly pulled out the knight's sword from his waist.

The eighth-level knight's full blow cannot be underestimated by anyone.

"Death!"

The secret technique of the Lebus tribe drove the magic power in his body to circulate rapidly. The machete in the hand of the Heavenly Father seemed to be covered with a layer of blood at this moment, becoming red and bright.

High-level combat skill "Blade of Blood Sacrifice": By burning the flesh and blood energy in the body, it instantly breaks through the upper limit of one's own magic output and performs a powerful slash.

And just when he was using his combat skills and preparing to attack Ryan, an astonishing elemental fluctuation suddenly came from above his head.

The knights behind Ryan temporarily stopped attacking because they were worried about affecting friendly forces, but Yuna had no such worries.

She found a shooting angle in the sky that would not accidentally hurt Ryan, and fired a "destruction beam" in the direction of her Heavenly Father.

In order to get through the Knights' fire coverage as quickly as possible, Heavenly Father's position was very upright, that is, he charged straight in the direction of Ryan. Even without a sight, he could easily predict his route.

Do you want to hinder me even at this time, White Raven!
Realizing that the white raven was locking onto him, Heavenly Father's eyes were about to burst.The eighth-level knight's intuition is quite sharp, and the "Destruction Beam" is not a large-scale attack like the "Sky Burning Flame".

As long as he deliberately avoids it, he can actually avoid it in time with his skill.

But at this time, he is about to face off against Ryan. This is a blow that he has been preparing for a long time. The result of this blow will determine who will have the upper hand in the battle.

If he dodges urgently at this time, not only will the opportunity be lost, but the "Blade of Blood Sacrifice" will also be unable to strike Ryan at the strongest moment when the magic power is fully charged, and his fighting rhythm will be completely disrupted.

But he had no choice. He rushed over with arrows and mages all the way. He no longer had the capital to resist another high-level attack spell.

The beam of destruction fell from the sky, and at the last moment, he stopped his forward movement and twisted to the side.

The beam hit the ground as it hit him, creating a deep crater in the grassland.

Barely dodging the direct hit of the beam, he raised his machete and swung the "Blood Sacrifice Blade" towards Ryan.

Under the burning of flesh and blood energy, the magic power he condensed has taken shape. This move "Blade of Blood Sacrifice" can even break away from the weapon and injure people through the air in the form of sword energy.

However, the "Blade of Blood Sacrifice" in the form of sword energy will lose its magic power quickly the moment it leaves the hand. Compared with the attack method attached to the weapon, its power is undoubtedly a notch lower.

Facing Heavenly Father's hasty attack, Ryan raised the arm shield of his left hand and made the most perfect defensive posture.

As the leader of the Knights and the strongest man in Linfeng City, his equipment was no worse than that of Heavenly Father, and his arm shield could block the sword energy without any suspense.

He immediately gave a deep shout, jumped up from his horse, and with the knight sword in his right hand shining brightly due to the infusion of magic power, he slashed down on the head of his heavenly father like a mountain.

"clang--"

The weapons met, and Tianfu Hengdao managed to resist, and then retreated step by step under Ryan's continuous pressure.

In fact, the real strength of the two is not much different. If the two sides fight fairly, it may be difficult to tell the winner for a while.

But after forcibly passing through the firepower net of the Knights, he was already seriously injured. Even the trick he used with all his strength was temporarily interrupted by the White Raven, and the power was greatly reduced, without causing any harm to Ryan. Not the slightest bit of pressure.

On the other hand, Ryan was able to launch attacks calmly and calmly at his peak. Under the influence of huge off-field factors, there was no suspense about being suppressed.

But what can be done? Off-field advantages are also obtained by oneself.

This is not a duel, but a war.

There is no fairness in war, only victory or defeat.

The game between the eighth-level knights is extremely dangerous. One wrong step will lead to a wrong step. The two of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They will never let go of any mistakes made by their opponents, nor will they give their opponents any chance to come back.

Once Ryan got the upper hand, he used his rich combat experience to quickly snowball the advantage, and soon inflicted several new deep sword wounds on Heavenly Father.

As the swords crossed again, the Heavenly Father, who was nearly exhausted, finally couldn't resist his endless attacks. The machete in his hand was knocked away by the knight's sword, and the middle goal was completely empty for a moment.

A glimmer of light flashed in Ryan's eyes. He seized on this flaw and advanced the sword again, piercing directly through the battle-scarred breastplate of his heavenly father, and half of the sword blade penetrated his chest!

"Pfft!"

The tyrannical magic power of the eighth-level knight penetrated his body and immediately smashed his internal organs into pieces. The heavenly father opened his eyes wide and spit out a mouthful of blood, and his momentum instantly weakened.

"You deserve to die, butcher."

Ryan said coldly, "I will place your head in front of the tombstone of the victim, and your blood will be used to commemorate the compatriots who died in Linfeng City——

"As for the Lebus clan, all of them will pay the price for your stupid decision. This is the bitter fruit caused by your own hands. Go and repent to your compatriots in hell!"

After the words fell, Ryan pulled out his knight's sword and slashed at his neck.

This sword was also clean and sharp. In front of everyone, the head of the Heavenly Father was chopped off in public.

Seeing this scene, the remaining prairie warriors all had gray eyes, despair on their faces, and lost their last vestige of will to resist.

"go ahead!"

Ryan grabbed the head of Heavenly Father, raised his arms and shouted, "Until we completely regain our territory and completely destroy my enemies, our sword blades will not be sheathed and we will continue to move forward!"

"Yes!"

"Go forward, go forward!"

The knights let out loud shouts, the sound of high-spirited iron hooves tapping on the grassland, and continued to advance forward.

High in the sky, Yuna lowered her magic cannon, first letting out a sigh of relief, and then letting out a sigh unconsciously.

"what happened?"

Nolen noticed her sigh and quickly guessed the reason, "You haven't found your enemy yet, have you?"

The Heavenly Father is dead, the last armed forces of the prairie people have been wiped out, and the war is about to end.

But Yuna has not yet met the murderer who massacred her hometown. Perhaps the murderer has died in a previous battle.

"No... nothing."

Yuna shook her head, and forced a smile under her raven mask, "The war is about to end, and the enemy has been repelled by us. My wish has been fulfilled, so that's good...that's good."

Compared with the situation two months ago when the prairie people invaded and his blood feud could not be repaid, this is already the most perfect ending.

Although he failed to save his family and avenge his blood with his own hands.

But with his own efforts, more people were rescued, Linfeng City was completely liberated, and no one would suffer from the war.

This is enough, this is what I really want to realize.

"Well, let's finish up."

Nolen nodded, "Go and help the Knights locate the movements of the other grassland people. As long as you are here, they will not be able to escape from this grassland."

For a nation that is still obsessed with war in the end, everyone is willing to punish them quickly, and no force will be so bold as to let them go back to the mountains and create hidden dangers for their future peace.

After experiencing a cruel war, even Yuna understood this truth. She once again drove the flying wing shape and hunted towards the end of the grassland.

This is also her last mission in this war as the White Raven.
