There was only one ship coming from the other side, a Falcon battleship.
Judging from the gorgeous golden eagle flag on the ship, this is the enemy's flagship and the lord's warship.
This lord was so courageous that he dared to drive a battleship close to Reggie. If Reggie sank the battleship immediately, maybe the battle would be over immediately.
The enemy ship stopped about three hundred feet away. At this distance, Reggie could light the rocket at any time.
Of course, the person sitting on this ship may not be the lord, but may just be a poor scapegoat whose mission is just to test Reggie's strength.
But there is no harm in killing a scapegoat. It is also a good choice to sink the ship with rockets and show off the force to the opponent.
A man boarded the bow. Judging from his gorgeous clothes, he must be from a noble family.
"Regino de Victor! Stand up and let me see what you look like!"
Hearing the other party's voice, Shansha smiled.
"I have seen this man, Count Nicholas, I have fought with him at sea!"
"You didn't recognize the wrong person, right?" Reggie looked at Shan Sha in surprise.
"You can't admit it, look at his hair, it's purple, more purple than a ripe grape!"
Reggie looked carefully at the man opposite him. At first Reggie thought he was wearing a purple hat, but now he noticed that the man's hair was purple, which was as eye-catching as his green hair.
Reggie asked: "Is he the lord of Evergreen Island?"
Shansha shook his head and said: "I dare not say for sure, sir. I have never been to Changqing Island. The last time I saw him was at the border of the Golden Eagle Kingdom."
"Regino de Victor," Nicholas spoke again, "My military strength is far superior to yours, but I don't want to bully the smaller ones. I want to invite you to a one-on-one duel. Do you dare?
!”
Reggie really wanted to say, "Don't dare." He really wanted the soldiers to fire rockets immediately. Regardless of whether he was a lord or not, killing an earl with one shot would not be a disadvantage after all.
If the First Army were present, they would also agree with Reggie's approach. Unfortunately, the person standing behind him was not the First Army, but the orc warriors who valued blood and glory more.
All the orc warriors were looking at him. If Reggie ordered to fire, they would execute the order without hesitation, but Reggie's status in their hearts would plummet. The orcs would not respect a despicable coward.
Reggie was still thinking about how to respond to the other party. Nicholas had already asked someone to put down a small boat. He took the small boat to the middle of the two warships, puffed out his chest and looked at Reggie.
"Come on, Reginald, bring your bravest warriors, and let us end this battle in a man's way!"
I never expected that Reggie would encounter such a madman on the battlefield. It seemed that he had no other choice. At this time, Yinge was already standing in front of Reggie: "Sir, please grant me the glory and let me fight with him.
You fight side by side."
Yinge's skills are indeed good, but is it really appropriate to take her with him? If a woman protects him in a life-or-death situation, even if he wins, it may not be as glorious as imagined.
Shan Sha stepped forward and said: "Sir, I'll go with you. In a one-on-one duel, no one is my opponent!"
This is a good idea. Just stretch out a finger and you can summon lightning to kill the opponent. It seems that there is no more suitable choice than Flash Sha.
Reggie was about to agree to Shansha's request when an orc warrior suddenly stood up: "What the enemy needs is warriors, the bravest warriors, not mages like you. It's too despicable to use spells to duel with the opponent. Please allow me to follow you, sir."
Fight together!"
This orc warrior cares more about the rules of duel than the life and death of the lord. This is the trouble Reggie faces. He likes the uprightness and bravery of the orcs, but many times, Reggie's thinking really cannot be consistent with the orcs.
Fortunately, Yinge is more cautious, and she also thinks that it is most appropriate for Shan Sha to fight.
"This battle is related to the safety of the lord. We must choose the most reliable warrior. Shan Sha is the best at fighting among us."
"Fashion is not a warrior at all," the orc warrior raised his battle axe, "Also, why do you say he is the best at fighting?"
"Reckless man, do you want to challenge me?" Shansha held out a finger.
The angry orc warrior roared: "Don't use your spells if you can!"
"Why can't I use spells?"
"Because the enemy asked us to send a brave warrior, we must abide by the rules of duel!"
Shan Sha roared: "Why do you have to obey the enemy's rules! Why don't you obey my orders?"
The soldier laughed loudly and said: "I will no longer obey your orders. From now on, I will only obey the orders of the lord!"
Reggie smiled bitterly from the side and whispered: "Stop trying to flatter me, I want you to get out now, will you listen to me?"
The orcs couldn't hear Reggie's words, and their quarrel became louder and louder. Modessa walked to Reggie's side and whispered: "Let's go, it's time for us to set off."
"You...come with me?" Reggie looked at Modesa in surprise.
"Of course I'll go with you." Modesa hid a musket behind his back, and his slender body made him look like he didn't feel out of place at all.
The orc warrior walked up to Modesa and shouted: "Do you know the rules of duel?"
Modesa lowered his eyes and said: "I have been a gladiator for more than ten years, and no one knows the rules of fighting better than me."
The orc warrior said: "Then you shouldn't bring the musket. The enemy doesn't know the power of the musket. It's unfair. Even if you win, you won't get glory!"
Modesa looked at the orc warrior blankly and responded: "It has nothing to do with fairness or glory. The rule of duel is that the person who comes back alive is destined to have everything."
Modesa should have been thought of a long time ago. The sudden changes made Reggie forget about the best candidate. The person who comes back alive is destined to have everything. Listen to this sentence, Modesa's three views are always highly consistent with Reggie's.
.
With the God of Death standing behind him, Reggie's waist straightened a lot. He stood on the boat, came to the opposite side of Nicholas, and said calmly: "I've kept you waiting for a long time."
"Green hair," Nicholas smiled, "it's really you."
"Purple hair, it seems I didn't recognize the wrong person." Reggie replied, then smiled and said, "Nice to meet you."
"Are you really happy to see me?" Nicholas asked an unreasonable question.
"Uh... to be honest, I'm not that happy." Because this question was so unreasonable, Reggie didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he simply told the truth.
"Can you be more direct?" Nicholas asked again.
"What I mean is, actually, I don't really want to see you..." Reggie looked at the thirty-year-old man in front of him. For some reason, there was a kind of sincerity in his eyes that made Reggie willing to reveal his true feelings.
of sincerity.
"To be honest, I don't want to see you, let alone fight with you," Nicholas lowered his voice, "Guess how long I have lived on this island?"
Reggie tentatively guessed a few times.
"ten years?"
Nicholas shook his head.
"Twenty years?"
Nicholas still shook his head.
"Thirty years?"
"You guessed in the wrong direction," Nicholas sighed. "Three months, I have only stayed here for three months. I was appointed as the lord of Evergreen Island three months ago. Before that, the people here were not here."
They don’t know me, the commoners don’t know me, and the lords don’t know me.”
"Are there other lords here?" Reggie's heart tightened. If Nicholas was not the lord of Evergreen Island at all, the duel with him would be meaningless.
"Yes, of course!" Nicholas looked at Reggie seriously, "There are more than forty lords on this island, large and small. There is a lord every four miles. They obey my orders, but they do not
It’s not unconditional, they are willing to send out their warships, these are their warships, but that doesn’t mean they are willing to fight for me.”
Reggie thought for a while and finally understood what Nicholas said.
Nicholas is indeed the lord of Evergreen Island, but Evergreen Island is now in a turning point.
Historians call this period the beginning of the Middle Ages and the decline of the Imperial Age.
With the separation of vassal towns and the rise of princes, the splendid urban civilization will be replaced by the profound castle culture. This Evergreen Island is entering the era of horseback killing.
