Chapter 21 The Fierce Battle

Everyone was watching the duel in front of him, and undoubtedly the winner would be selected among the two warriors, which once again led to the audience watching the grand performance on the racecourse.

However, the superiors on the platform were not infected by the carnival of the civilians. Gradually, someone finally realized that something was wrong.

It was obvious that this game was no longer the focus. They believed that the Earl's Count was not just to increase the joy of the festival. The real purpose should be to get rid of the warrior wearing Latin armor. The identity of the person in the armor caused doubts and speculations from all parties.

After all, this time, the aristocrats of Agrignon were not only from Rusnina, but also from Mikhail. Among them were Mikhail's confidants, and there were other neutral nobles. It was not surprising that they had any secret collusion with the Latins.

But for now, they were helpless. Because of their full-body equipment, they didn't know the identity of the person under the armor at all, and they didn't know that the warrior who was ace at this moment was Justinian.

On the other hand, the battle between Justinian and the heavily armored warrior finally began. Although they bowed to each other and gave their opponents respect, both of them knew that next would be a life-and-death battle.

Justinian took the lead in launching the attack. He has been observing the way the warrior fights from just now, but he still hasn't seen through it. Although the opponent used Byzantine swordsmanship, his intuition told him that the opponent had another killer move.

He accelerated and ran a few steps. Justinian compressed his body like a spring and leaped up. The Aramano-style heavy sword in his hand also slashed hard at the heavy armored warrior. Even under this two-handed sword, he would definitely not be able to withstand the thunder attack. If he resisted, the short sword in the other party's hand would not be able to block the sword at all.

Justinian calculated that the other party could only dodge, but an unexpected scene happened.

The heavily armored warrior neither dodged nor resisted, but made a strange move. The tip of the short knife was twisted into his hand. The next moment Justinian realized what the other party was going to do.

A cold light flashed, and the short sword was thrown directly at Justinian's face as a flying knife. The heavily armored warrior actually let his weapon take off like the previous gladiator holding a battle axe. This was undoubtedly a gamble. If there was a slight mistake, he would be directly chopped in half by a sword.

But at such a close distance, a strong wind gust was on the pavement. Justinian had to raise his sword to block the attack, otherwise his head would be penetrated by a short sword before he could see the sword.

"Dong--"

The short sword and the two-handed sword collided and made a dull and deep sinking, and a strange force made Justinian's hands numb.

What kind of terrible power is this? Justinian almost thought he was facing a bull rather than a human opponent. The next moment, he noticed a flash of dark shadows in front of him as soon as he landed.

After the weapon was removed, the heavy armored warrior did not pick up other weapons. Instead, he took advantage of the moment when he was distracted and suddenly approached and swung a heavy punch. This was no longer the Byzantine or Latin fighting style. Justinian, who was caught off guard, had not recovered yet, and his chest was sturdy and sturdy. He almost felt like he was bombarded by a siege hammer.

Fortunately, the protective power of Justinian's armor on his body is still very qualified. Even if he was not as good as this, he immediately retreated to relieve his strength. Justinian still felt that his heart almost stopped beating.

When he saw the heavy armored warrior who failed to succeed in one blow, he immediately distanced himself from Justinian again. He picked up the battle axe used by the gladiator before. At this moment, Justinian had to be completely serious. The opponent he was facing is more dangerous than anyone he had faced before. A chill arose in his heart, Justinian raised his sword with both hands and took a deep breath to adjust his state.

It is obvious that he has no advantage in strength, and he can only rely on his keenness to capture the other party's flaws and try to recall and adapt. Justinian is mastering his body step by step. Originally, the master of this body was a natural killer, and even if he was another soul, his original fighting style and habits were imprinted on this body without any changes.

In a sense, as time passed, Justinian's mastery of it was also deepening step by step.

"I have to say that you are very awesome and almost died! If that is the case, it would be really embarrassing." Justinian smiled bitterly behind the helmet. He was delaying time to recover his body, but he really thought so from the bottom of his heart. He was indeed careless just now. If he was killed like that, he might be ridiculed by the audience of the entire racetrack if he died!

The heavy armored warrior who was not close to the opponent did not answer any questions, but he did not continue to attack, as if he was really waiting for Justinian to adjust before attacking.

Looking at this scene, Justinian, who was a little confused, could only shrugged. After a moment, the young man who was recovering from his state raised his sword and rushed forward. This time Justinian was not taking risks to give the other party a flaw. Any negligence in the face of such an enemy would be fatal. On the other side, the heavy armored warrior did not take any more risks. Although he suppressed the opponent in the previous confrontation, he also understood that the other party was also difficult, especially now that the other party has adjusted its state.

In just a moment, two heavy weapons had collided with each other, and the sound of metal collision surprised everyone. There was no shortage of generals in the stands, and the excellent warriors under their command gathered, but the two warriors exchanged positions at high speed in the field, and the weapons in their hands were also waving and colliding together.

This has to be said to be a very strange scene. The weapons used by both of them are all heavy guys.

Every round of battle made the audience's bloody blood. You should know that this kind of fighting is much more intense than before. People seemed to have completely left the elephant behind, and at some point the tamer of Saracen had driven the elephant back, which made the two of them no longer have any worries about the duel.

The next moment, the audience was wearing a burst of exclamations, almost at the same time Justinian's two-handed sword and the heavy armored warrior's battle axe were all out at the same time, as if they did it on purpose.

The two of them picked up the fighting swords on the ground at the same time, and the weapons of the previously killed gladiator were everywhere.

Justinian rushed forward first, using a sword technique similar to an assassin. There are many examples of assassins leaping into battle formations and killing enemy generals when the two armies confronted each other. For example, Hassin in the East, they could even assassinate cavalry with daggers on the battlefield.

This requires the user's sensitivity, and can cut off the blood vessels on the neck of the war horse when he avoids riding a gun. Only in this way can the assassin be on the ground in a million troops. Of course, this is often considered an exaggeration, but this is Justinian's best swordsmanship.

While slashing the short sword, the sword blade flipped, like a clever flying fish. Justinian, who was pressing on his body, cut through and cut open the throat of the heavy armored warrior.

However, the assassination ended in less than ten seconds, and it felt extremely abrupt. Justinian did not feel the body was split, but the collision between steel. The next moment, the opponent's fighting sword stabbed his chest, forcing Justinian to avoid this attack. The two of them dodged and opened the distance. The two still held the sword to defend, motionless like a statue.

Looking at all this carefully, Justinian was confused and suddenly understood what had happened just now. It turned out that in order to fix the dead helmet, the heavy armored warrior had a welded iron ring on his neck. No wonder he failed just now, but nothing to be discouraged. Justinian immediately set up his fighting position again.

On the other side, a drop of blood fell on the sword blade of the heavily armored warrior, and subconsciously looked down at his chest. As soon as he found that the mail cracked in his chest, he still injured him. Although Justinian had failed just now, he still injured him, and a shallow wound was clearly visible.

Then the heavily armored warrior waved the sword in his hand, which made Justinian feel a strong and suffocating murderous aura.

Was it because of the injury? Justinian was a little surprised by the other party's reaction. It shouldn't be so. Both sides did not leave any room for anything, and the real warrior would never be furious because of this injury. However, the other party's anger was obvious, and it seemed that something else had angered him.

Immediately afterwards, the opponent in front of him once again let out a beast-like roar, and he rushed forward, but the next second Justinian widened his eyes and looked at the other person's figure incredibly.

Almost the same side rotation, even the direction of the dagger in his hand stabbed was exactly the same, and the same battlefield assassin's sword technique reappeared in the hands of the heavy armored warrior.

"This is impossible!" Justinian almost blurted out. The opponent's tricks were exactly the same as what he had done before, but it would never be possible to imitate it in such a short time, unless the opponent could do it! But he had no time to think about it. The opponent's attack had reached the front, but Justinian, who was already extremely familiar, predicted his attack the next moment.

Justinian subconsciously locked the other party's arm with his elbow, and his other hand sent the fighting sword into the other party's heart.

With a "puff" sound, this time it was not a slash, but a stab. The fighting sword directly penetrated the chain mail and penetrated the heart of the heavily armored warrior. This was the fatal place.

In the stands, the audience who saw this scene suddenly burst into shocking cheers. However, Justinian, as the winner, felt in a fog. The blow just now was completely subconscious action. To be precise, it was not him, but the body's reflexive behavior.

Justinian, the heavy armored warrior who was staring in front of him, was unable to speak. Somehow, he felt that the attack just now seemed to be done by the other party on purpose.

Justinian did not pull out the fighting sword. He knew that if he pulled it out immediately, the other party would definitely be killed on the spot. He gently supported the other party and fell down. Even though he was through the pot-kick, Justinian also felt that the other party was looking at what he wanted to say.

He tried to take off the other party's helmet, but it was completely welded to death. Obviously, the designer wanted to do this on purpose. Theodor did not want to expose this person's identity. But no matter how Justinian tried, the other party seemed to be unable to speak. He had a premonition that the person under this armor would definitely know what it was, at least it was related to his original identity.

The Turkic people I met before revealed in a few words that he seemed to have come from a country in the east, and it seemed to have a close connection with the Ark of the Covenant. Now Justinian never expected that he had found a clue again, but he could not get it in front of him. Justinian couldn't help clenching his fists, but at this moment the dying heavily armored warrior stuffed something into Justinian's palm.

...

...

...

On the other hand, while Justinian won, the Earl of Theodor, who was watching the battle, was tapping the table in front of him with his fingertips. Although Justinian successfully settled the troublesome task for him, the man seemed to be thinking about something.

Behind him, Saracen's beast trainer came over and asked tentatively: "Sir, do you need to release the elephant now? Even if he wins, he may not be able to deal with my child." Sure enough, Theodor was indeed prepared for both, but things still surprised him. He thought that Justinian and that man would both lose, but Justinian won. Although the win was wonderful, it was a bit relaxed.

The man looked at Justinian with an indescribable look and murmured to himself: "It's amazing. It seems that Muzfius has really not chosen the wrong person, but in a sense it is indeed a potential danger. Should I really save your life?" Theodor hesitated, but still did not make a decision. He didn't know whether to squeeze the life of the child in front of him into his hand and crush it.

But at this moment, a scene that surprised Theodor happened. Justinian, who had won the victory, took off his helmet and revealed his face in full view. For a moment, a burst of exclamations came from the noble seat. Although the civilians were still cheering, some nobles still recognized that the person who participated in the performance to win was the lord of the Castle of Ilofan, Justinian, the former guard of His Majesty Muzfius.
