The Black Skull Clan Chief and the Claw Clan Chief, an old man and a young man, stood at both ends of the duel springboard, assuming a fighting posture and looking at each other.
The obstruction of the Valkyries and the stand-by of the tribesmen made Crofts completely give up the idea of escape. In order to survive, he calmed down, and there was no longer a panicked look on his face. Instead, he was determined to fight against the odds.
thoughts.
Huggins took the dry cloth handed by his subordinates, wiped off the blood on the armor, came to Todd's side, and asked in a low voice: "Which one of them can win?"
"One person's purpose of fighting is to survive, and the other is to fight for honor. I don't think I can give you an accurate answer." Todd took a sip of hot water in the cup. Although his words were directed at the two dueling people on the field, his eyes
But he looked at the Valkyries next to the duel arena.
These female warriors have beautiful faces, well-proportioned figures, and no trace of fat on their bodies. In addition, their height is almost the same as that of men, which reminds Todd of the "Victoria's Secret Angels" who walked on the model stage in his previous life. Put it aside in his mind.
With these complicated thoughts, the commander focused his thoughts on their combat capabilities.
Using a bow and arrow to shoot down a crossbow bolt, this kind of shooting technique is like a fantasy, it is simply unbelievable.
Is it possible that they are really the Valkyries under the gods of the North Island? That's why they gained divine power?
After thinking about it for a while, Todd rejected the idea. At least since he traveled to this different world, he has never seen a scene where gods appear. It is not his idea to use spiritualism to explain the unknowable world.
style.
Then, there is another possibility that these Valkyries are alien species, a group of alien species with special abilities.
Todd put down the water glass, touched the bridge of his nose and thought carefully, so what kind of power can allow a person to shoot down a high-speed flying crossbow bolt?
A burst of exclamations came from the field, interrupting Todd's train of thought.
Crofts stirred up the dirt with his shield, disrupting Morgan's sight, and then kicked the opponent's knees hard with his foot. The man with the centipede scar on his face suffered heavy injuries and involuntarily knelt on the ground, reluctantly
He blocked the attack of the Claw leader with his shield. When he stood up and walked again, his steps were limping and his center of gravity could not be kept stable. The situation instantly became unfavorable for the Blackskull tribe.
"Morgan! Back then, you and your father escaped from Black Skull Island like bereaved dogs. On the day you escaped, your brothers were taken here by me. I cut down the land under your feet with my own hands.
Behead them!" Crofts turned the sword in his hand and shouted: "Today, you will join their ranks!"
Morgan flushed, roared and rushed towards Crofts, but was tripped and knocked to the ground by the Claw leader.
Huggins clenched the sword in his hand and was about to stand up, but Todd held his shoulder down.
The latter motioned the knight to look to one side of the duel arena. The silver-haired Valkyrie kept her eyes focused on this place, and the arrow in her hand was also attached to the bowstring.
Huggins put down his sword angrily and said to Todd: "This Crofts was so scared that he didn't dare to go to the battlefield just now, but now he has the courage. It's really strange!"
Todd smiled and said: "Only when people are pushed to the edge of death, will they remember the instinct of survival. The fear of the leader of the Claws before was due to the unknown of our group of people. Now that the opponent is Morgan, this glimmer of life has been given
He has courage, so none of this is surprising."
Just as Huggins and Todd were talking, another change occurred on the field. Morgan entered the state of a berserker. The muscles under his skin twisted like water pipes, and his limbs swelled as if they had been injected with air.
Todd frowned when he saw this scene.
The experienced Crofts avoided the berserker's attacks again and again, and he began to run in circles and curves, consuming Morgan's physical strength.
Todd understood that at this time, he must find a way to remind the Black Skull leader of his situation.
He pretended to be annoyed, threw the cold water glass in his hand towards the duel, and said loudly: "Morgan! Fury will only make you farther and farther away from victory!"
Ice-cold water was sprinkled on Morgan's head, awakening his sanity.
The leader of the Black Skull suppressed the fury in his body, thought about the tactical advantages of both sides, and began to use his young and abundant physical strength to engage in an attrition battle with Crofts.
After an hour-long battle, the old leader of the Claw family finally lost strength and was caught by Morgan, stabbing him in the chest.
Watching Crofts struggling on the ground for a while, and finally not breathing. The Valkyries walked up to Todd and looked at each other condescendingly.
Todd is very dissatisfied with the current situation. As the head of the Knights, he actually wants to look up to the woman in front of him. But speaking of the reason, on the one hand, it is because the height of these Valkyries from the North Island is really staggering. On the other hand,
It's also because Todd's height hasn't started growing yet.
"The leader of Muxi Town and the leader of the Claw clan is dead. I must make sure that you will not harm other Claw clan members, otherwise my sisters and I will use bows, arrows and sword blades to carve inscriptions on your tombstones!" The silver-haired woman said
The God of War took off the spear in his hand, looked at Todd and said.
Todd glanced at the old and weak women and children who were slowly gathering. They raised their weapons again. Even Morgan's soldiers cast hesitant glances. He realized that if he ordered an attack now,
Valkyrie, there is no doubt that these people will protect their spiritual leader with their lives without hesitation.
Todd raised the cross on his chest, nodded towards the Valkyrie and said, "The culprit who attacked Muxi Town is dead. I swear in the name of Heavenly Father that I will not harm these people."
The silver-haired Valkyrie seemed very satisfied with Todd's oath, put away her weapon, and planned to leave.
"Valkyrie, can you tell me your name?"
The silver-haired woman turned her head and looked at the boy who asked the question. After thinking for a moment, she replied: "They call me 'Brünnhilde'."
————————————————
Todd sat in the meeting hall of the Talon Longhouse, looking at the circle of people sitting around the firepit, and fell into deep thought.
After receiving a simple bandage from the monk, Morgan sat on Todd's left side. He glanced at the wounds on his body, and the scene of the battle just flashed through his mind. He couldn't help feeling afraid, and whispered to Todd: "If it weren't for your
Warning, I'm afraid I'm just a corpse now, I owe you a life."
The latter waved his hand, indicating that Morgan didn't need to pay attention.
Huggins and Jerry Jr. stood behind Todd. The knight looked at the Claw tribesmen sitting in the longhouse - two prince warriors and two tribal elders. He said with some concern: "General Commander, Claw
The tribe once attacked Muxi Town, why should we negotiate with these people?"
Todd shook his head and said: "Using force to resolve the threat posed by Beidao to Muxi Town is not a good solution after all. If we can start with negotiation and break the chain of interests between pirates and barbarians, it may be more effective."
Negotiations between the Muxi Knights, the Black Skull Tribe, and the Talon Tribe officially began. The first person to speak was the old man from the Talon Tribe.
"I heard that Muxi Town is holding a group of prisoners from the Claw tribe..."
After hearing this, Todd said to the old man with sharp claws: "Leif told you, right? It seems that he secretly gave you a lot of news last night."
Morgan slapped his hand heavily on the ground and said loudly: "That bastard named Lev! He is not honest even as a prisoner!"
The old man with sharp claws pretended not to hear Morgan's words, but turned his face towards Todd: "Chief of Muxi Town, please forgive our mistakes and release those prisoners."
After hearing this, Huggins touched the sword at his waist angrily.
Todd laughed: "Let me think about it, a man held a torch and a weapon, ran into your home, burned your house, and killed your children. Now this man has been caught
Now, his parents have found the victim's family, hoping to be forgiven and asking for the murderer to be released."
Todd tilted his head and looked at the old man with sharp claws, and asked funnyly: "If the victim were you, would you agree?"
The old man's face turned pale and he sat back down without saying a word.
A sharp-clawed prince warrior said: "Didn't we already have an honorary duel?! More than ten of our clansmen died under your sword. Doesn't this bring the matter to an end?"
Todd was completely speechless at the strange logic of these North Islanders. He patiently said: "First, the honor duel between us was not over at all, it was forcibly terminated by the Valkyries; second, I asked
The Valkyries promised not to harm the Claws again, but I never said I would no longer pursue the attack on Muxi Town, nor did I say I would release the prisoners."
The prince warrior stood up excitedly and shouted: "Then what do you want?!"
Todd leaned back and said helplessly: "Calm down, we are negotiating, shouting will not solve any problem. If you can come up with conditions that satisfy me, I may release the prisoners."
Another old man from Talon suddenly said to Todd: "What if we are willing to compensate you for your losses? Will you release our people?"
Hearing this, Todd became somewhat interested and asked directly: "How do you plan to compensate me for my losses?"
The old man was stunned, then discussed with the people around him for a moment, and said tentatively: "How about gold, silver and jewelry? There are still some in the tribe's warehouse. We can negotiate the price in exchange for the prisoners."
Todd shook his head after hearing this. Now the Muxi Knights are attacking the noble fiefdoms of the Silver Ring Kingdom and plundering countless treasures.
"What about weapons and shields? Our people have sharp weapons and strong shields. We can exchange prisoners with you..."
Todd was even less interested in this. He knocked on the armor of the knight behind him, pulled out his sharp sword and gestured twice in the air, and then gave everyone in the Talon tribe an "Are you kidding me?" look.
The old man of Sharp Claw discussed with the tribesmen around him for a long time, finally stood up, gritted his teeth and whispered: "There are some young and beautiful virgins in the Sharp Claw tribe, and we are willing to exchange them for the warriors of the tribe."
Todd's face darkened: "Who do you think I am? I am the head of the Knights, not the leader of the bandits!"
Hearing this, the old man sat back dejectedly and sighed repeatedly.
After seeing this scene, Todd didn't intend to go around in circles anymore, and said in a questioning tone: "What I want to know is, do you have any special products that can be traded here? For example, rare mineral deposits, rare resources..."
The people of the Talon tribe looked at each other in confusion. After a while, a prince warrior suddenly said: "Someone may know."
Ten minutes later, contrary to Todd's expectation, a foreigner dressed in white robes and a turban was brought into the longhouse by several warriors.
The foreigner bowed slightly and said with a smile: "My name is Abu Bin Sabah Kendi, may the blessings of Allah be upon you!"
