Heart of the Castle

Chapter 80 Duel Trick Big Fireball
When Sir Grace was explaining the words on the parchment, the corner of his eye did not leave Li Wei for a moment. There was no superfluous expression on the face of the young knight attendant, not even when Grace deliberately mentioned the ancient family. See any exceptions.

"Is it a deep scheming? Or is the family behind him far from being able to fight against an ordinary ancient family?" This thought flashed through Sir Grace's mind, and without any pause, he put the tradition of knight duels in one breath. After explaining, he pointed his finger at the weird mark at the end of the parchment.

"This thing should be the family crest of the demonized knight. It looks very strange, not like the style of our western nobles."

"This badge..." The ranger Warren who limped over had just seen the parchment, his expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help blurting out, "This badge is Lord Lorshaw! There is nothing wrong with it, it is the use of the call-up order. Sir Lorshaw. He recruited us adventurers to join the army against the demons, but was the first on the battlefield to turn around and flee! I will never forget the emblem of the crossed swords and crocodile head!"

Is that demonized knight the cowardly Sir Lorshaw that Warren said?
Li Wei stared intently into the distance. Nearly a thousand meters away, the black armored knight was standing on the edge of the forest with a long black sword in both hands.The cold breath flowed out of his body, like a ruthless and vast frozen land and ice field, even at such a long distance, it still made Li Wei feel a little nervous.

Although the probing technique was blocked by the black-armored knight's special grudge, there was no way to clearly understand the specific strength of the black-armored knight, but judging from the displayed aura, his strength should be slightly better than the crusader swordsman.

Could this character be a coward?

Li Wei didn't know, but his mood subtly boiled.

It is a duel, the tradition of the ancient knights, the best way to settle disputes once and for all.

The Slave Knights are actually very difficult opponents. Those Slave riders can surpass the fastest human light cavalry, and they are extremely powerful. The short spears they throw are enough to penetrate chain mail at close range; the black armor The knight himself is powerful. From Warren and Donna, the arrows shot by the black-armored knight are terrifying. If he hits the watchtower, half of the tower can be knocked down.

The defeat of the Slave Knights this time was not because of their lack of combat power, but because the Slave Knights were light knights, and they were not good at attacking camps with strong walls. The black-armored knights were shocked by Sir Grace's archery , failed to clear the archers on the watchtower in time.If the same force is replaced by a field battle, Li Wei's side will definitely suffer serious losses, and the balance of victory may also be tilted.

We must keep all the Demon Slave Knights here!

Li Wei secretly made up his mind, but it was not easy. Although the Demon Slave Knights had suffered a heavy blow, with less than one-third of their fighting power remaining, Li Wei had no means to pursue them.The marching speed of the pikemen and archers is average, and they can't catch up with the light cavalry who come and go like the wind at all; although the crusader swordsmen can accelerate in a short distance with the burst of fighting spirit, it is obviously unrealistic to pursue them for a long distance; Not to mention the camp guards who are mainly strong villagers. With their weak combat effectiveness, if they catch up, they will only become another blood debt of the Manu Knights.

A duel might be a good opportunity, Li Wei mused, turning his gaze to his side.

As long as Grace, the demon hunter archer, has enough distance, he can deal with a knight who has comprehended the dissipated fighting spirit. Hua's power; Roaring Bear Donald has experienced the last evil disaster, and has a wealth of adventure experience. If he can heal his injured leg, he will also have a very good fighting power.

If this lineup participates in a duel, no matter what kind of opponent the Slaves Knights send, they can easily deal with it.

So Li Wei gritted his teeth, and said to the people around him: "I decided to accept the challenge of a duel, Sir Grace, if the opponent sends out that big demon with wings, I will leave it to you to deal with it."

Grace had a look of disapproval on his face, "Mr. Levi, you don't need to take this risk at all. Now those guys have been completely defeated. As long as we organize the team and rush up, they will definitely turn around and run away."

"That's not the case. I'm afraid we must take this risk." Levi briefly explained his thoughts to Sir Grace.

There was a sharp light in Sir Grace's eyes, and he patted the silver fir longbow in his hand and said, "This is my poor consideration, Mr. Levi, if the other party sends that winged demon, leave it to me." Already!"

Levi gave a knightly salute to Sir Grace, then turned to the other side and said. "Then, Mr. Tang Na, please go with us. If there is any change in the other party, with your rich experience, you will definitely be able to remind us in time."

Tang Na nodded heavily and said, "I am willing to serve you, Master Levi."

"If the opponent's black-armored knight fights in person, one of my two knights will fight. The outcome is not important, because according to the duel rules of three battles and two wins, no matter whether we can defeat the black-armored knight or not, we will fight. Get the final victory." Li Wei said in a very sure tone.

"This is indeed an easily conceivable result, Master Levi," Tang Na reminded: "The demonized knights demonize their bodies, not their brains. In fact, they often become more cunning and insidious. This duel There must be a poisoned dagger hidden in the proposal."

Li Wei nodded in agreement, then he sorted out the equipment on his body and moved the saber to a position more suitable for unsheathing.Martha ran over with two female villagers, wiped off the dust and blood on the leather armor for him, and held a small wooden round shield in front of Li Wei.

"Master Li Wei, I wish you a successful start." Martha said in a low voice with some embarrassment, and Li Wei looked at the young female thief in surprise, feeling that these words did not seem to be something she could say.

"This is a ceremony before the knights participate in the duel. Unfortunately, there are no trained maids in the camp, so we have to let Martha act as a temporary one." Sir Grace explained, obviously, just now he took Martha aside to order , that's the thing.

The midday sun was shining directly down, and the fog became very thin. A soft wind blew across the open space in front of the refugee camp, bringing with it a faint sense of loneliness, which implicitly hinted at the end of summer.

Li Wei stepped forward and walked towards the middle of the clearing; Sir Grace followed him on the left, half a body behind, holding a silver fir longbow tightly in his hand; following Sir Grace were two The crusader swordsmen in full armor, the blue and white ribbons on their helmets fluttering in the wind; Donna landed at the end with his handicapped left leg, his eagle-like sharp gaze scanning the surroundings from time to time.

The black-armored knight on the opposite side also walked over with solemn steps. His black boots creaked as they stepped on the pale grass, and the torn cloak fluttered behind him, faintly exuding a The taste of cold cruelty.

What made Li Wei feel a little strange was that the big demon with wings stood motionless and just looked at it coldly with a pair of blood-red eyes.The strength of this big demon should be second only to the black armored knight, why is it not included in the candidates for the duel?

Following the black-armored knights to participate in the duel were two demon slave riders who looked very ordinary. In order to confirm this, Li Wei also specially used a probing technique.

The information fed back reassured him completely. They were indeed two ordinary demon slave riders, both of whom had level 3 combat power. Although they were relatively high among the demon slave knights, in Li Wei’s view, no matter Whether it is level 2 or level 3 combat power is equally insignificant.

The two sides met in the middle of the open space, and when they were separated by more than ten meters, they stopped.Li Wei felt that the wind blowing over his body seemed to be colder, and it had an ominous breath.

"Are you the leader of that camp?" The black-armored knight asked first, his voice was like a shattered ice lake, with a chilling coldness.

Just as Li Wei was about to answer, Sir Grace took a step forward and said in a cold voice, "As a knight, should you give your name first before asking someone's identity?"

The knight in black cast a icy glance at Sir Grace from under his hood, then nodded slightly, the hood bobbing up and down as he moved.

"Well, remember, the one who wants to kill you is me. I am the commander of the northern border and the vassal of Cedric, the lord of Winterwind City; the only legal lord of Boone Town, Shanyan Town and Xiaopo Village; Lord Demon Under Ilion, the first leader of the Slave Knights, Sir Lorshaw!"

Hearing the series of names reported by the black-armored knight, Li Wei snorted, pulled out his sword, pointed at the black-armored knight, and said loudly: "I am Viscount Lane, an attendant of Knight Ston, Li Wei! I am Accept your challenge to a duel on behalf of the refugee camp!"
