Chapter 1348: Fighting with the Citizens of Orleans (Part 2)

Denis bent his knees and squatted, dodging Suchet's straight punch.

He bent his knees forward, exerted force from his waist, and threw a right hook, hitting Suchet's chest directly - all in one go.

Suchet felt pain and took a few steps back, rubbing his chest where Denis had just hit him.

Denis had no mercy, and his hook just now was a solid one.

"You bastard..." Suchet said in a tone that was hard to tell whether it was praise or ridicule, "You used the hook just now really well..."

"Humph." Denis smiled slightly, "I am a soldier after all."

"Since I am a soldier, I still know martial arts."

"Although my martial arts are a little rusty because I haven't fought anyone in a duel for a long time."

"You are very strong, old man."

After the pain in his chest eased a little, Suchet moved his wrists and ankles and got into a fighting stance again.

"Just wait, old man, I'm going to get serious."

"I'd love to." Denis smiled.

...

...

What Suchet said just now was not bragging or bluffing.

After saying "I'm going to get serious", Suchet's movements were obviously faster and simpler than at the beginning, without any unnecessary movements.

And Denis was in a state of full effort from the beginning, so he countered the moves and found the right opportunity to attack Suchet while defending.

The two were evenly matched at the beginning.

But as time passed, Denis gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Ha...ha...ha..."

Denis panted heavily.

And Suchet on the opposite side just had a slightly messy breathing.

Looking at Suchet who still had some strength left, Denis said bitterly in his heart:

-I'm old, and my physical strength can't keep up...

-I really don't want to get old...

...

...

Another powerful straight punch hit Denis' chest.

Although this straight punch was powerful, it was not difficult for Denis to dodge it with his ability.

Just when Denis calculated the distance between the two and was about to kick his feet and take a half step back, he suddenly felt his feet go weak.

——Oops!

Due to lack of physical strength, Denis lost the strength to dodge at this critical moment.

This straight punch hit Denis' chest solidly.

Denis let out a few dull screams of pain, and then fell heavily to the ground.

The soldiers dressed as guards who stood in various corners of the platform after the fight between Denis and Suchet began immediately stepped forward to help Denis.

But before they could get close, Denis shouted:

"No one is allowed to move!"

After shouting like this, Denis slowly got up from the ground.

While rubbing the place where he was hit, he said to Suchet in an appreciative tone:

"Young man, your strike just now was very beautiful, you won."

"Humph!" Suchet cast an unhappy look at Denis, "Do you think I am a fool? Do you think I can't see it? The reason why I hit you with that punch just now is purely because your physical strength can't keep up. If you are still young, I may not be your opponent."

Suchet paused.

Seemingly realizing that he seemed to be praising the soldier he hated the most, he quickly added:

"What a pity, you gave up so quickly, I was thinking of punching you a few more times."

Denis didn't say anything about Suchet's sarcastic remarks, but just smiled slightly.

Deni turned his head and looked at the guards not far away.

"Bring up all the money! Bring me the money for this young man and the money to compensate the citizens!"

After receiving Denis's order, the guards immediately split into two teams and started to act.

One team moved the small table full of money placed in a corner of the platform.

The other team ran down the platform, not knowing what they were going to do.

The soldiers who were responsible for taking the small table full of money placed it between Denis and Suchet.

Denis made a "please" gesture to the pile of money:

"Young man, you beat me, so according to our agreement - all this money is yours."

Suchet looked at Denis in doubt, and then looked at the pile of money.

While Suchet was in doubt, the citizens who were joining in the fun under the platform were already in an uproar.

"You can actually get money if you win!"

"No way?!"

"Are these soldiers so good?"

"Damn it! If I had known, I would have gone up and fought that old guy!"

"Can we have another fight?"

"No! Didn't you hear what that guy said just now? This fight is only one match, so only one person can challenge and get the money!"

...

"This money..." Suchet hesitated, "Are you really going to give it to me?"

"Really." Denis nodded seriously, "We are different from those bastards last year. We are a real army. We are here to protect this city and your real army."

"We won't do anything dirty!"

Just as Denis finished speaking, the guards who had just walked down the platform came back.

When they came back, they were carrying two large wooden boxes.

From the actions of the guards, these large wooden boxes must be very heavy.

After returning to the platform, Denis nodded to them:

"Thank you for your hard work, put them on the ground and open them."

"Yes!"

One after another, the large wooden boxes were placed on the platform, and then the lids were opened.

Each wooden box was filled with - money!

The citizens of Orleans had never seen so much money in their lives, so they were stunned by such a huge amount of banknotes, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Just when the citizens... and Suchet, who was standing not far from Denis, were stunned and their consciousness was slow to return to the real world, Denis said loudly:

"Everyone in Orleans!"

"I know - last year, because of a ** army, you had some bad memories!"

"As a senior general of the Rollin Empire, I feel very ashamed that there is such a ** army in the country!"

"Here, I apologize to everyone on behalf of that bastard army!"

After saying that, Denis leaned over.

"I'm sorry!"

"It's our army that betrayed everyone's trust!"

"I don't know how much compensation that ** army promised you!"

"But I will compensate you as much as possible for that ** army!"

"These--"

Deni pointed to the big wooden boxes filled with money in front of him.

"That's all the money I can take out at the moment."

"I don't want any of this money! Distribute it all to everyone!"

"Distribute it to everyone who didn't get paid last year!"

"Although it may not be as much as the compensation promised by the commander of that ** army, it is indeed all the money we can take out! Please understand!"
