The Emerald Tower

Chapter 170 Before the 'Baptism' Ceremony (Part 2)

The sudden appearance of a stalemate between the two sides without giving in made the face of the Marquis of Vauban sink in the main seat, while the Shiva standing beside the Marquis frowned.

Obviously, both the Marquis of Vauban himself and the Silver Knight felt a little disappointed with the three young men selected by their own side.

Even though he had been notified in advance, he still impulsively fought against an invincible opponent.

This is definitely not heroism, but pure recklessness!

"Young people are really energetic! Lord Marquis, we shouldn't stop him!"

Bishop De Hall, with a friendly smile on his face, looked at the Marquis of Vauban and said slowly.

"Ok!"

The Marquis of Vauban nodded gloomyly.

And Dean, who had been paying attention to the situation on the field, walked to the empty space opposite the auditorium the moment the Marquis of Vauban nodded.

As for doubts about such a decision as the Marquis of Vauban?

Dean has none at all.

In fact, in the face of such a situation, the Marquis of Vauban did not have many choices, whether to agree or not—

Promise, the three young men will bring shame upon themselves.

If you don't agree, the three young people will hurt their self-esteem, especially at a time like the 'Knight Baptism', they will even spread a bad reputation.

been questioned by more people.

After all, 'Knight Baptism' is just a process for some people.

However, for others, it is an opportunity to change their destiny—thus, the competition for the 'Knight Baptism' is quite fierce.

Take Vauban, for example. The city of Vauban belongs to the "Knight Baptism" ceremony under the command of the Marquis of Vauban. Traditionally, it is only once a year. Those outstanding young people came to participate in this ceremony to change their own destiny after being screened from the outposts and the barracks; and in this screening again and again, there are those who have successfully advanced, and there will naturally be losers.

And if the Marquis of Vauban does not want any complaints from those who have lost a considerable number, he will definitely not be able to prevent this duel.

As for the quota of 'Knight Baptism' recommended by various lords in the subordinate territory of Vauban County?

That is closely related to the taxes paid by oneself.

To put it simply, the 'baptism of knights' is just a matter of indifference to the real noble county king. But for common people and small nobles, it is a change of fate.

As the king of a county, the Marquis of Vauban naturally knew what to do.

Let the public question him for a matter that he doesn't care about?

The Marquis of Vauban would not be so stupid.

Even, if it weren't for the fact that the opponent was de Hall, the bishop representing the religion, the Marquis of Vauban would not even show his anger.

Dean, who was standing on the sidelines, saw this very clearly.

As for those three very nice young men?

Just like what I said before... just bring shame on yourself!

Of course, Dean understands better that the future of these three young people has been changed again - Dean can be sure that no matter it was the Marquis of Vauban before. Or someone else must have specially instructed these three young people, but at a critical moment. The three young men still violated their previous instructions because of their own 'confidence'.

For subordinates who are disobedient and make decisions without authorization...

As the king of the county, the Marquis of Vauban will never give the other party more opportunities.

Therefore, the marginalization of the other three after this incident is certain.

As for Dean's attitude towards the three?

In fact, there was no attitude at all, and there was no friendship at all. After all, it was the first time the two parties met—and the way of being too 'confident' and not knowing how to examine made Dean choose to watch.

Even, Dean once again thought of his subordinates.

Although none of them can reach the level of the three people in front of them, they are more like soldiers and soldiers.

At least, they won't disobey his orders.

"After layers of screening, winning again and again, did you cultivate pride?"

Dean thought so, then shook his head silently.

He is not denying such practices.

Just denying the ignorance of these three young people——

They never understood that County Vauban was only one of the four counties in the Emerald North.

And the opponents they face are just people of the same age and background.

But under such a premise, pride has been cultivated?

Dean has nothing but pity.

Following Dean, the knight named Higgs also came over and continued to stand beside Dean. However, during the whole process, he only glanced at Dean before looking at him. Looking at the upcoming duel in front of him, it seemed that he didn't see Dean at all; Dean didn't care about it at all.

His gaze seemed to be firmly attracted by the impending duel——

"Both sides separated, fifteen feet!"

The old butler of the Marquis of Vauban acted as the referee, standing in the center of the hall, and questioning the first of the three young people who couldn't wait to participate in the duel, as well as the god knight Golodar.

Both sides shook their heads, indicating that there was no problem.

Immediately, the old housekeeper took out a Kimpton——

Ding!

With a crisp sound, Kimpton flew into the air, and then fell heavily.

"Drink!"

The moment Kimpton came into contact with the carpet, the first young man brandished a two-handed sword and rushed towards Gulodar with a roar—although he was full of momentum, anyone with insight would be the first to shook his head.

Obviously, not optimistic about this young man.

Perhaps, the two-handed sword itself is a proof of strength, but facing a guy with a long-handled warhammer, he still wants to prove himself with strength.

This can only be said to be out of mind.

Bang!

Amid the loud clashing sound, the young man's two-handed sword flew straight out, and the whole person was shocked by the huge force and took several steps back. Finally, he fell to the ground unsteadily.

And from beginning to end. Groudal didn't even move a step.

"Vulnerable. Next!"

Muttering such words. Glodar didn't even look at his opponent in front of him, but instead looked at the remaining two young men.

"I come!"

While the first young man walked back in shame, the second young man came out.

Then, the old butler came over and announced the start again.

The second young man obviously learned the lesson of the first young man. After Kimpton fell, he rushed up immediately. But his attack is quite skillful, not only brought out a graceful arc while swinging the sword, bypassing the opponent's warhammer, but even adjusted his own pace to put himself in a more powerful dodge angle.

Undoubtedly, compared to the first young man, the second one is much stronger. He not only possesses skills, but also uses his brain to think.

but--

Bang!

There was another muffled sound of metal clashing. I saw that the war hammer, which was avoided originally, suddenly turned itself. The huge hammer head, like an electric fan, not only covered the area where the young man's long sword dodged before, but also rolled in the young man's arm.

Click!

The long sword flew out without any accident, and the young man's arm holding the sword was completely shattered, and the huge force flew up with his whole body.

It landed ** feet away, and after rolling twice in a row, it passed out straight away.

The marquis's guards immediately walked out of two people and dragged the young man down. In a knight's duel, life and death are not considered; naturally, disability and the like are taken for granted.

"No fun, next one!"

Groudal's face was full of impatience, he looked at his last opponent, and shouted directly.

The last young man, facing the defeat and disability of his two companions, finally showed a hint of hesitation in his expression—obviously, he remembered the words of his martial arts teacher, the great knight.

However, at this time, he obviously cannot escape.

Once you escape, it will be a lifetime of shame!

Therefore, the next moment, this young man stood up resolutely. At the same time, the change in his heart was reflected in his expression, and a faint breath began to appear on him, which made the people present look sideways in surprise. .

"Finally an interesting guy came!"

Grodal smiled, and his voice was full of excitement and... killing intent.

His identity made him clearly know what he should do——

The first opponent was the most brainless guy who would have no future in his life, so Gulodar let him go.

The second opponent is better, has skills, and knows how to think. If he continues, he is likely to become a great knight. Therefore, Gulodar abolished the opponent and terminated the opponent's future.

As for the third one in front of him, when he felt the vague aura, Gulodar felt ready to kill.

Because, the aura of the other party showed that the other party had enough talent to become a great knight. Facing such a young man with potential who belonged to the Marquis of Vauban, Golodar would naturally not show mercy.

It was still the old butler who announced the beginning——

The third young man didn't rush up immediately, but moved quickly around Gulodar. At the same time, the long sword in his hand shook again and again, as if it wanted to cover all the vital points of Gulodar's body.

Moving continuously, when he came to the back of Gulodar again, the long sword in the young man's hand stabbed straight out.

Whoosh!

Like an arrow shot from a crossbow, the long sword has a sharp wind sound, vividly displaying the 'thrust' in basic knight swordsmanship.
