Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 246 Duel
On April [-]th, the weather was fine. For the spectators who came to the open-air arena, such weather could not be more comfortable to watch a high-level duel.

The arena of the huge military academy is full of seats at the moment, and students who have no classes like to join in the fun to watch the battle. In addition, the ministers and nobles of the palace, the nobles of the south, and the elite of the surrounding legions of Solconan, as well as some Residents who have free time come to the arena to watch the battle one after another.

After all, this battle between the "Leader of the Southern Ocean", "The Overlord of the Adlai Sea" and "The Youngest Original Pioneer", "The Fearless Knight of the Silver Blade", and "The Rescuer of the Tower" is going to be fought. The news of a title quota is known to everyone in the entire Salconan under the operation of the southern nobles.

Darren Sherley's victory may not necessarily bring much benefit to the southern nobles, but in terms of momentum, it can suppress Solkonan.

Surrounded by his companions, Cyril walked through the long tunnel to the backstage of the arena, where Princess Anastasia and Heloise Treville were already waiting there.In the backstage of the venue opposite them were Darren Xie Li and a group of southern nobles who supported him.

Anastasia is not a person who likes politeness and etiquette. When she saw the half-elf boy approaching, she didn't care about her identity, so she went straight up and asked:
"Adrien, where are you going to hold the celebration banquet?"

Cyril's face froze. He never expected that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess would not even fight, and just fast-forward to the time when he won and won the title to celebrate.Before he could speak, he saw that the Eldest Princess' gaze had moved away and landed on the people behind him:

"Ah, you must be Mia Christian? Your surname, oh, maybe we have the opportunity to discuss in detail. You are... Elena Visconti? I really admire the achievements of the ancestors..."

In a blink of an eye, Anastasia had successfully chatted with a few people. The identity of the princess is here, and even if they can only hahaha, they have to chat with them.

Instead, Cyril was left aside.Before the half-elf boy had time to speak, Heloise stretched out his hand and pushed him towards the passage into the duel venue.He turned around, but what he saw was Heloise's serious face:

"Adrien, make it quick, don't wait too long."

"Don't delay too long?" Cyril's heart trembled, "Could it be that Darren Xie Li has some skills to suppress the bottom of the box?"

"No." Heloise shook her head with a more serious expression: "Your Highness got up late and didn't have breakfast, and now I'm waiting for lunch."

Cyril staggered, almost tripping to the ground, and couldn't help asking:
"Your Excellency Treville, you and Your Highness don't take the southern nobles seriously, do you?"

It turned out that Her Royal Highness and Heloise did not take Darren Xie Li seriously. Fortunately, he has been seriously preparing for the battle for a long time these days, and even went to the tavern to find fighters who use two-handed tomahawks. After a few practice sessions——

Although the result obtained is indeed basically able to hang up - if he still suffered some attribute losses due to his age and level before, then with the increase of the bone breastplate, the so-called numerical gap was wiped out. After peace, he could no longer hang and beat a barbarian warrior, which would be too embarrassing for the traverser.

At this moment, this wonderful armor was worn under his robe, and the close fit made him feel that he was wearing a piece of leather armor instead of armor.

"You are Jane Christine's student, and you took a piece of equipment from me. If you let her know that you can't beat a southern noble..."

It was Anastasia who answered him. Her Royal Highness Princess took the time to say something here, and the threatening meaning in her tone did not diminish in the slightest.

And Heloise nodded slightly to him: "Okay, go, I want to see your victory in 5 minutes."

Cyril, turned around, but saw that the door of the passage in front of him had been slowly opened, and what appeared in front of them was a rocky river beach——

The rules are unlimited duels, and the scene is constructed by a mage. It is so rough and simple to win without hurting the opponent's life.

This kind of rough duel rules actually originated from Alma Saint-Emma, ​​and most of the ancestors who pioneered La Rochelle came from Alma Saint-Emma, ​​and they also brought this kind of duel rules over and passed it down to this day.

Of course, Cyril is also well aware of this. Mixing competitive rankings in the duel arena, the rewards for the corresponding stage are things that every single player of the combat system will do-after all, the bonuses are not cheap, and the rankings are reset once a quarter As long as you make it into the top ten in the duel match, you don't have to worry about half a year's potion money and equipment maintenance fees.

In the middle of the game, this number is already very large.

From the moment they stepped into this arena, the duel began immediately.

Without any hesitation, Cyril stepped into the river beach.

And behind him, the door to the passage slowly closed.

--------

Robin Pulan and Dunn Pulan sat side by side in a high position, where they could have a panoramic view of the entire competition venue.Side by side with them are representatives of several other legions, but none of them are legion leaders.

"Cyril Adrian, this name is very strange, isn't it from some legion?"

"I heard that it came from the north, and it seems to have fought with the undead."

"Oh...then he looks too young?"

Tang En glanced at the representative of a certain legion beside him with some disgust, and then concentrated on observing the situation on the field.

In his opinion, the shallows of the river are relatively open terrain. Although there are piles of rocks, there are very few particularly large stones.

This kind of terrain is obviously beneficial to the taller and stronger Darren Xie Li. He has a wider vision and can spot the enemy faster.But his opponent is too "immature". It is said that he is only 15 years old, no matter how talented he is, he has insufficient experience.

At this time Darren was striding towards the direction where Cyril entered the arena. He carried a huge two-handed battle ax on his shoulders. While running, he still kept looking around for traces of Cyril.

"Very experienced." Robin commented, "If he can join our [-]th Legion..."

"Don't think about it, he is a member of the southern aristocracy, so it's good if he doesn't make trouble for us." Tang En said casually, and suddenly made a suspicious voice: "Wait, why is this Adrian...doesn't have any intention of hiding? Is he running towards Xie Li?"

"Xie Li has also sped up...Are they going to have a head-on collision?" Robin frowned slightly. He looked at the poor boy who was thinner than Daren and the sword he was holding in one hand, and couldn't help shaking his head. , "Ah, they bumped into each other, this Adrian is really stupid."

But unexpectedly, he didn't get a response from Tang En. He turned his head, only to find that his younger brother's face was tense, his teeth were tightly clenched, and his eyes were fixed on the scene on the field——

Swinging the two-handed battle ax high, the next step is to slash downwards without any fanfare. Under the impact of the burst of energy, this blow is definitely not just within the range of a single axe, but includes all the range as wide as one person. in.

But his opponent didn't seem to be aware of this. At the moment of confrontation, he didn't even seriously raise his sword and make a gesture to meet the enemy.

"It's over." Robin couldn't help shaking his head, but Tang En's whisper came from next to his ear:
"ended."

In Tang En's voice, he saw the two-handed battle ax slashing down, and that bang seemed to be able to tear everything into pieces.When the battle ax fell, even the air began to scorch and twist.

The great swordsmen guarding around should make a move, it will kill people - Robin thought so.

But those swordsmen didn't move, and the mage didn't cast rescue spells. Robin watched helplessly as the ax fell on the boy.Tear that figure into pieces, like tearing up an afterimage——

Wait, afterimage?
Robin's eyes widened. He subconsciously turned around and looked at his younger brother, only to find that the other's body couldn't help but tremble again. He stretched out his finger and pointed at the field, and his voice was full of panic:

"Cyril Adrian, he, he is Skyfire, I recognize his sword!"

　I'm not in a good state, sorry
