The Duxi Expeditionary Force quickly occupied the beaches of Talon Island and encountered little resistance.
The impact of explosives is far more terrifying than people imagine.
After a rough count, about seven hundred people gathered on Talon Island, most of them old people, women and children. The young men were sent by the clan leader to attack Muxi Town and never came back.
At first, the tribesmen of the Talon tribe thought that the warriors were carrying the trophies and would return soon, but the news that Lev risked his life to deliver during the Muxi Expedition brought them the worst results.
"The old guy standing on the tribal altar is Crofts, the leader of the Talon tribe. I heard that his son is the leader who commanded the pirates to go south."
Listening to Morgan's words, Todd led his troops to the square in front of the tribe's big house. He looked at the Claw tribesmen holding all kinds of weapons, turned his face to Crofts, and said loudly: "I
, Todd Fisher, is the overall leader of the Muxi Knights and the guardian of Muxi Town!"
As soon as this statement came out, there were exclamations and discussions among the Talon tribe.
Todd paused and continued: "I believe you are familiar with the name Muxi Town! Not long ago, your tribe and the barbarian coalition attacked my territory, burned my house, and killed
My people."
Crofts, the leader of the Talon tribe, shook his silver beard, pushed away the tribal warrior in front of him, and asked Todd loudly: "Guardian of Duxi Town, what do you want? Revenge? The Talon tribe is always with you.
!”
Echoes like waves came from the crowd. The elderly, children, and women raised their farm tools and wooden sticks in the air, venting curses and abuses at the soldiers of the Muxi Expeditionary Force.
Todd narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the stone tablet with various divine patterns painted on it at the door of the longhouse, and raised the cross on his chest: "The doctrine I believe in requires believers to be kind to each other. I will always treat guests who pass by the door.
Try your best to spread out a piece of bread and hand over a glass of water. But how do you do it? Set foot on our land like thieves, steal all the property in front of you, and kill every defenseless person!"
The soldiers of the Muxi Expeditionary Force clenched their weapons and raised their sword blades towards the Claw tribesmen in front of them.
Crofts made a disdainful sound from his nostrils: "Your gods are weak, and your people are just a group of fish waiting to be caught to the North Islanders! We North Islanders have the same
Tradition has our own rules for doing things, which are the laws of the gods and the instructions of our ancestors!"
Deep in his throat, Todd let out a long "Oh" sound, and suddenly said: "In that case, let's settle our grudges according to the tradition of the North Islanders."
Watching the soldiers on the opposite side place pieces of wood on the ground, there were voices of confusion among the Talon tribesmen. Crofts scratched the beard on his chin hard and frowned.
"I heard that there is such a tradition in the North Island. If someone in the family is killed, the family that suffered the loss has the right to demand compensation or justice." Todd pointed to the wooden board on the ground and said quietly: "
I now demand justice for my people according to the practices of the ancestors of the North Islanders. This demand is not excessive at all, right?"
After listening to Todd's words, no one in the Talon tribe expressed dissatisfaction or opposition. In their opinion, these words were reasonable and reasonable.
Crofts asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"
Todd found a wooden chair and sat on it: "I request a duel of honor. Just like the enemies of the North Island meeting at sea, both sides send an equal number of warriors to the arena one after another, on the springboard.
Have a one-on-one duel. Either kill all the opponents, or die in battle yourself, and let your companions behind you take revenge."
Seeing Crofts indecisive, Todd smiled and said: "North Islanders have the tradition of North Islanders and have a set of rules for doing things. This is the law of the gods and the teachings of our ancestors! You won't forget it so quickly.
, what you said, right? Or do you want to go against the will of the gods and ancestors?!"
The old patriarch looked at the glances from the Claw tribe and gritted his teeth: "The Claw tribe accepts honorary duels, but is not allowed to use weapons of gods!"
Todd nodded and said: "Are you referring to the explosion just now? Don't worry, I can promise you that the next duel will only use weapons and armor, and will not use any power of the Holy Spirit."
Crofts turned his head and looked at the soldiers beside Todd while discussing with the warriors of the tribe.
On the other hand, the head of the Knights just snapped his fingers at Huggins.
Soon, the teams for the duel were decided.
The Muxi Knights sent a "Successor" combat team, and the Talon Tribe sent a team of pirate warriors.
Huggins was the first to go into battle. He held a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, and stepped onto the plank. Standing opposite him was a strong pirate, a whole head taller than the knight, and his muscles were as strong as rocks.
There were loud cheers from the Talon tribe, and people shouted the names of the gods and the achievements of the warriors.
Morgan walked up to Todd and warned in a low voice: "Be careful. This is a prince warrior, the strongest warrior in the tribe. They are skilled in combat, not afraid of death, and often charge at the most..."
Before Morgan finished speaking, the battle ended with a scream.
In just 10 seconds, Huggins' long sword pierced the shield and penetrated directly into the head of the prince warrior from the chin.
The scene was completely silent.
Morgan was so shocked that he couldn't close his chin: "Oh my God! This power, and this speed! The son of the mythical God of War is nothing more than this..."
Todd clapped his hands and shouted to the dumbfounded Claw Warrior: "How long will you continue to be in a daze?! Next one!"
After only three rounds of fighting, the second warrior's arm was cut off by Huggins, and then stabbed through the chest.
The third person, the fourth person...
One after another, the North Island warriors seemed to be walking in front of a "steel meat grinder", verifying a legend with their own lives.
Finally, the seventh pirate could no longer bear the disparity in strength and jumped off the plank, trying to escape from the duel.
Todd snapped his fingers and pointed forward. The soldiers holding the crossbows pulled the triggers, and the sound of bowstrings bursting into the air. The deserters with dozens of crossbow bolts stuck in their backs did not even scream.
He made a sound and fell into the mud.
Crofts watched this honorary duel with a nervous and fearful expression. He quietly found the tribesman next to him and whispered something to him. The latter nodded and ran towards the tribe's stable.
"Continue! Do you want to wait until the sun goes down?" Todd shouted dissatisfied towards the remaining tribal warriors.
Fighting means death, and running away also means death. The eighth, ninth,... until the last person simply proved his courage with his life.
Dozens of pirate corpses lay scattered on the ground. The black soil was dyed red with blood. The knight looked like a fierce god coming out of the ancient wilderness. His body was covered with minced meat and blood stains. The Claw tribe seemed to be avoiding the devil, staying away.
Looking at the "Blood Knight" in front of them, there were even children in the crowd crying faintly.
Crofts' face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He turned to Todd and said bitterly: "Guardian of Muxi Town! Are you satisfied? You won the honor duel!"
Todd touched the bridge of his nose, with a strange look on his face, shook his head and said, "Chief of the Claw, what are you talking about? The honor duel is not over yet!"
The old man opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly: "What do you mean?!"
"As I said at the beginning. I request an honorary duel. Each side sends an equal number of warriors to fight one on one in turn. Either kill all the opponents, or die in battle yourself, and let the companions behind you avenge you."
Todd stood up from his chair and pointed to
Everyone in the Hou Muxi Expeditionary Force, including the soldiers, aliens, monks and even the cooks: "They are all our warriors participating in the duel, a total of 220 people. Now the Talon Tribe has only sent 13 people. I am still here."
Waiting for the next 207 of you!"
Crofts's face instantly turned white, and he finally understood what the other party wanted to do! The patriarch grabbed the wooden pillar beside him with trembling hands, holding himself up from falling, and said to Todd in broken words: "
207 people? How... how is this possible?! There are not that many warriors in the Talon tribe!"
Todd glanced at the tribal crowd: "Look at these people, sickles, hoes, wooden sticks... Since they chose to pick up weapons and stand in front of us, aren't they considered brave warriors?"
The head of the regiment withdrew his gaze, stared at the earth-colored patriarch, pursed his lips and smiled: "Besides, when it comes to warriors, doesn't there happen to be another one in front of me?"
