Chapter 84 My Lord Cannot Be Insulted (Monthly Ticket Plus!)
The duel had apparently taken place more than once in the castle hall.

The servants led the guests to both sides of the hall, leaving space for Phocas and Willow to duel, and a confidant presented wooden swords to the two.

Thomas stood on the wooden stairs, took down the weapons hanging on the wall, and laughed:

"You two are both brave knights. How can you use children's weapons? You two, hold on!"

Thomas dropped two steel swords, and Furcas and Willow took hold of the hilts.

The scene of swords and sabers made the ladies present scream in fear, and some even fainted. The servants next to them took the bottle of smelling salts and swung it in front of the ladies' noses, and the ladies slowly woke up.

In modern times, it was considered elegant for noble ladies to faint in public, which was also related to the tight corsets they wore that caused difficulty breathing.

Yeats knew in his heart that Thomas was using the old grudge between Willow and Fokasse to put pressure on me.

With Morning Frost Ridge's current strength, it really shouldn't have a falling out with Thomas.

The most pleasing thing to do would be to call off the duel and just laugh it off.

But how can this be?

How can my knight be humiliated!

The duel begins.

Willow held the hilt of the sword, his body slightly hunched, the single eye next to the eye mask revealing fear and vigilance, and he walked slowly around Fokase.

What happened to me just now? Why was I suddenly shocked by him? Willow thought to himself, even if Fokasi was so powerful in the past, he is no longer so powerful now!
In Willow's eyes, the tall and straight old knight was reflected, and his one eye suddenly became stern.

That’s right, he is old now, and I will now repay you double the humiliation you inflicted on me back then!
Suddenly.

Willow gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands and rushed forward with an extremely aggressive step. The majestic aura of the Golden Lion Slash condensed on the steel sword, and he chopped it down violently!

The steel swords collided with each other, making a crisp sound. Fokasi blocked the fierce and heavy blow, exerted force with his arms to block the steel sword, and used the basic combat skill "Arrow Upward Slash" to go straight for Willow's chin!

Willow quickly drew back his sword, holding the hilt at his waist with the tip of the sword facing upwards, and blocked the upward slash with a "ding" gesture of hanging the sword. He was shocked that Phocas' counterattack was so fast. At the same time, he held the hilt of the sword with both hands in front of his chest and pushed the sword forward forcefully.

clang!clang!clang!
Willow pressed forward step by step, and his two-handed sword thrusts were blocked one by one by Phocas's fighting skill "Intercepting Sword".

Willow discovered that Fokas's swordsmanship was as strong as ever, and it was impossible to break through his defense without calling upon the power of the Ring of Life!

However, he also made progress because of his hatred! Willow's sword became more and more powerful!
call out!
Phocas fought and retreated, and failed to block the sword several times. He narrowly avoided it by leaning sideways. The two of them had already reached the corner of the hall.

Willow roared, changed his stabbing attack to a slashing one, and slashed towards Fokas' face. The aura of the second ring was instantly revealed at this moment!
A silver aura condensed on Willow's sword, like a raging flame, it was the Silver Slash!
The nobles who were watching this scene all sighed.

Silver Slash, known for its silvery-white aura, is considered the most powerful combat skill among the Two-Ring Knights!

same moment.

Phocas looked calm and clasped his hands around the hilt of his sword.

A silver-white flame also ignited on the steel sword!
See this.

Willow's pupils shrank; a look of surprise flashed across Thomas's face; Yeats smiled slightly.

It’s actually the second ring.

This guy is also a second ring like me!!
Sweat dripped down Willow's forehead. This was totally inconsistent with what the intelligence said! Without potions and resources, how could Fucas return to the second ring? !
Thomas was also a little surprised. Could it be that Yeats had already expected this?
Fukas was a four-ring warrior who shocked the northern provinces. How much strength has he recovered? How many cards does Morning Frost Ridge have?

Thomas looked deeply at Yeats and found that he could no longer understand this young boy.

clang!
Two steel swords burning with silver flames confronted each other, wrestling with each other.

"When did you...recover?" Willow said dryly.

Phocas remained indifferent, staring into Willow's one eye, and said:

"My Lord, do not insult me."

Willow's face changed, and he tried his best to block the steel sword, but Fukas pressed the steel sword closer and closer to Willow's one-eyed man.

At this moment, Willow's steel sword broke under the heavy weight!

Willow's face changed and he kicked towards Fokas's leg.

Unexpectedly, Phocas also dropped his steel sword, groaned, resisted the whip kick, clenched his fist and hit Willow's nose hard.

boom!
Willow's face was covered in blood. He looked at the steel sword on the ground and smiled with relief.

Boom!
The old knight had tiger eyes and a white beard, and he punched Willow in the abdomen again. This time, Willow's body really flew backwards and hit the wall with a bang, shaking the hall slightly.

There was deathly silence in the hall.

The nobles had different expressions, some were afraid, some were excited, and some were shocked.

The elderly Fokase has actually recovered to the second-ring level - who can guarantee that he won't break through again in the future?
Thomas frowned slightly and said calmly:
"That's enough. Phocas defended his honor in this duel... Someone, take Willow away. We are sorry to have frightened the guests."

Willow did find out that the Baron of Morningfrost Ridge is definitely not a mediocre person... Thomas' heart was cold... Yeats rejected my alliance, should I take advantage of his weakness and flatten Morningfrost Ridge?

Thinking of this, Thomas looked at Yeats with a smile, but saw Yeats smiled slightly:
"Willow provoked my family knights. I'm afraid he has ulterior motives. I hope Earl Thomas can see through this."

"Of course, I will give you an explanation." Thomas said with a forced smile.

"In addition, I have received the reward for arresting the Dark Night Bishop Moore. Thank you again for your generosity, Lord Earl," Yeats said.

More was dealt with by the Valkyrie and her men. Why did Yeats suddenly mention this?

Thomas suddenly realized... So that's what's going on. He might have recruited the Valkyrie and used this to threaten me!

My battle with Hudson is imminent, so it is indeed inconvenient for me to start a battle with a fourth-ring superhuman.

It’s just a small place like Morning Frost Ridge, but I can’t do anything about it for the time being... Thomas laughed in silence... Count Brondi really gave birth to a good son.

"I think Duke Hudson is no longer able to govern the land north of the Great Wall. I wonder if Baron Morningfrost Ridge has the energy to manage it on his behalf?" Thomas asked.

Yeats was secretly shocked. This old man was so arrogant that he divided Hudson's territory verbally.

But this was actually also a statement from Thomas, indicating that he would acquiesce to my expansion in the north.

Ye Zhi was polite and said calmly, "I just want to lead my people through the cold wave. I have no other thoughts."

Thomas smiled, ordered the court musicians to continue playing, and announced that the banquet would continue.

That night.

Yeats rode back to Morning Frost Ridge with Grey and Phocas overnight.

Fukas said with guilt: "I'm sorry, Master, I have caused you a lot of trouble."

Yeats said: "It's not your fault. Even if Thomas didn't let Willow come to test us, we would have a conflict with him sooner or later."

Gray said, "That's right, that Willow deserved a beating, Fokasse, you beat him well!"

Phocas' eyes flickered, a warm feeling surged in his chest, and he nodded silently.

"Thomas' strategic direction is in the south, which will leave us with precious opportunities."

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Yeats galloped across the wilderness and looked up at the sky.

"As the saying goes, a real man lives between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and live under others for long!"

Let's go back to the territory first and find out whether the rumors about the undead are true or not...

If we can really recruit a headless knight for our own use, it will be a great boost to the territory!

　Sorry, I'm typing too slowly, so I posted it a little late. Orz, I'll update it later to make up for it. Please give me a monthly ticket!!
