Ferdinand felt a strong wind blowing towards his chest!
He calmly took half a step back, and at the same time quickly retracted his sword with both hands, and struck with an angry move, just in time to hold Wilder's axe.
The long sword and the battle ax intersected, making a crisp golden sound!
Ferdinand used all his strength in this attack, originally hoping to break through Wilder's defense with his youth and strength.
But I didn't expect that Hui Mane's arm didn't move at all, with no flaw exposed.
Ferdinand could feel the terrifying power contained in that not-so-tall body.
He did not try to lift the sword, because then Wilder's ax would probably directly cut through his chest.
So Ferdinand took advantage of the situation and used his entanglement, blocked the ax with the hilt of his sword, and continued to cut Wilder's throat.
The Lord of the Corner of Plenty grinned, and with a nimble step that was totally out of proportion to his body shape, he easily dodged the sword and walked around to Ferdinand's side.
Wilder's combat strategy is very simple. The attack range of his battle ax is not as good as Ferdinand's long sword, so his chance of winning will be higher when the distance is shortened.
But Ferdinand was not stupid. He sensed Wilder's intention and immediately swung a large windmill, forcing his opponent away again.
The two of them were going back and forth, and in a short time they had exchanged dozens of moves. For the time being, neither could do anything to the other.
But as time went by, Wilder gradually gained the upper hand relying on his rich combat experience.
He carefully controlled the distance between him and Ferdinand, patiently waiting for his opponent to reveal his flaws.
However, Ferdinand did not show any panic on his face after he was approached, and his steps and sword movements were not chaotic at all.
After a while, Wilder suddenly jumped back, took the initiative to put away the battle ax and said, "No more fighting, let's stop here today!"
A look of doubt flashed in Ferdinand's eyes, but he didn't say anything and nodded after hearing the words.
"Which family do you come from?" Wilder asked again.
"Bathory."
Wilder tried hard to recall the memory of this name, but after searching his mind, he found nothing. However, this did not prevent him from expressing his appreciation for the young man in front of him.
"Great martial arts skills, your swordsmanship is really solid!"
"Your skills are not bad either."
"Well, I haven't done anything with anyone for many years, and my hands are a lot rusty. And after a while, I started to breathe heavily. I was very powerful when I was young. Once I met a robber when I was out.
Killed eight."
If it had been before, Ilea would probably have thought that the head of the Singleton family was bragging again.
But having just witnessed that intense and exciting battle, the female lord began to believe Wilder's statement that there was no opponent within hundreds of miles.
And later on, Wilder was very polite and said that he had paid for everyone's travel expenses, bus fares and meals from here to the royal capital.
The more Miss Rabbit looked at him, the more she found him pleasing to the eye, and finally happily agreed to his joining.
In addition to his granddaughter Donya, Wilder also brought thirty guards and more than a dozen servants, making the team stronger.
Everyone left Cornucopia and continued heading east. However, not long after they left the city, they heard a cry and a noise.
The head of the Singleton family looked a little unhappy, because just a quarter of an hour ago he was sharing his experience in managing the territory with Ilea and Ferdinand.
He said how well he managed the Cape Plenty generation. Not only did he send people to drive away the bandits around him, but the land rent was also not high.
During holidays, bread and wine are distributed for free so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment.
Then he turned around and heard someone crying so sadly, it was like a slap in the face.
Wilder stopped his horse, called his captain of the guard, and ordered, "Look what those people are crying about."
Black took the order and left, but came back after a while, with a strange look on his face.
"Have you asked clearly?"
"Asked clearly."
"What wrongs have they suffered?"
"This..." The captain of the guard glanced at Li Yu, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
Wilder said impatiently, "Forget it, I'll go see them in person."
After finishing speaking, the city lord of Cornucopia did not wait for Black to answer, then he rode forward and ran forward. Seeing this, the others could only follow.
There were quite a few people blocking the road and crying. There were actually four to five hundred people, including men, women, old and young, and most of them were residents of Cornucopia.
Wilder was also surprised when he saw this, but he didn't call the guards, he just came to those people and said solemnly.
"I am your lord, the protector of this land, Gray Mane Wilder of the Singleton family, you should all have heard of my name.
"I swear to you in the name of the Singleton family that no matter who bullies you, I will make the decision for you!"
Wilder's loud and generous declaration not only failed to calm the crowd, but instead made the crowd even more chaotic. The eyes of those people looking at Wilder were full of fear and fear.
"Lord Gray Mane." The captain of the guard rushed over at this time and said helplessly, "They are not here for you."
"You're not here to find me?" Wilder was puzzled, "Then who else can they look for to help them?"
"Prophet Merlin." Black lowered his voice and said, "Sir, they are all cursed people, but they have been hiding in the city and have not gone to the farm.
"I didn't know where I heard that the prophet Merlin could remove the curse, so they all came out of their hiding places and gathered outside the city, hoping that the prophet Merlin could save their lives."
Wilder heard that the tiger's body was shaken. Although he cooperated with the Church of the Earth and Grain to issue an order to gather all the cursed people in one place, he also knew in his heart that there must be fish that slipped through the net in the city.
But Wilder didn't expect that there would be so many fish that slipped through the net.
The Lord of Cornucopia became angrier as he thought about it. The head of the Singleton family set an example and sent his beloved granddaughter to the farm. Why are these guys so unruly?
Wilder wanted to open his mouth to curse, but when he thought about it, if it weren't for Herbert's constant persuasion, he would not be willing to let Donya leave him and wait for death alone.
Moreover, he had resisted the pressure of the church to let his two sons stay in the city.
Looking at the longing eyes in front of him, including several girls about the same age as Donya, most of the anger in Wilder's chest dissipated.
After all, no one wants to die, and no one wants to see their loved ones one last time before they die.
The city lord of Cornucopia immediately felt a little uninterested and said to Blake.
"You're right, we can't control this matter, so we should go ask the prophet Merlin."
