A sport that was once all the rage in East and West Walker.
However, it caused too many casualties.
It even affects children.
When a child accidentally died in another duel, East and West Walker reached an unprecedented consensus: no duels.
Any private duel is illegal.
Regardless of victory or defeat, he will bear legal punishment that is far beyond the norm.
You have to go to jail and pay a fine.
After four consecutive months of strict arrests and using newspapers to control the direction of public opinion, and denounced "dueling" as barbaric, uncivilized, and an uncivilized behavior of low-class people, the style of dueling gradually disappeared from society.
However, it just disappears among ordinary people.
In places like military camps, there are still limited reservations.
There is such a tradition under Prince Reitai of West Walker.
Different from the directions in newspapers.
In the military camp, the strong is king.
And when some things are really difficult to judge right from wrong.
So,
Let’s duel!
Bundy participated in the duel more than once.
Counting the previous ones, this is the fourth time.
He won each of the first three times.
And this time?
He went there with the determination to die.
He was trying to delay time.
After putting life and death aside, he also wanted to throw his gloves at the opponent's face to relieve his anger.
However, the opponent can make the bullet 'hang in the air'.
The gloves thrown by him were no exception.
That's a situation Bundy doesn't want.
It's not that it's embarrassing.
But he was worried that the duel would not work.
Now, the gloves have fallen to the ground, which means that the opponent must accept his duel invitation. If he does not accept it, no matter what the reason is, his reputation will be damaged.
Under the command of Prince Ruitai, this is something that no general can accept.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the knight in front of him, Bundy was nothing more than an ant.
But there are always people who are equal to him.
There will always be someone better than him.
It doesn't matter if those who are on equal footing with him give him a few words of good-natured teasing when talking to him.
But what if it’s malicious?
What if it was in front of Prince Shwetai?
In fact, the latter is definitely the case.
Prince Ruitai's command is not a place of harmonious communication.
compete!
Everywhere!
Most of the time, it's well-intentioned.
But occasional malice?
As long as it didn't go too far, Prince Ruitai would turn a blind eye and pretend it didn't happen.
Bundy knew these things.
No special understanding.
But these things are no longer a secret in the military camp. Some of Bundy's colleagues came to Lord's during their vacation. When they drank together, these colleagues told him after drinking too much that he made the right choice at that time.
Because once a person with Bundy's character enters the service of Prince Ruitai.
That would be almost courting death.
Bundy was not only upright, but also willing to speak out.
There is no room for Bundy to survive there.
And now?
Bundy launched a challenge in order to survive.
A fight to the death.
"Come……"
"war!"
Bundy took a deep breath again, and his eyes suddenly became completely firm.
"ha."
"Nice look."
"I like this look in the eyes of those who have been killed by me."
"And you?"
"It's next."
The knight turned over and jumped off the tall war horse, striding towards Bundy.
As Bundy knows, when he sends out an invitation to a duel, the other party will not refuse.
When someone catches you, your reputation is damaged.
Win a match with a pretty one and your reputation will increase.
As long as there is no brain problem, everyone knows how to choose.
The knight took off his helmet as he walked.
A middle-aged man's face was revealed.
There are scars on the face.
A long scar stretched from the eye on the left side to the corner of the mouth on the right side.
In addition to the first time, there were also burns and bullet marks.
All in all, this is an impressive face.
Once you meet once, you will never forget it.
At least Bundy didn't forget it.
"Paschan?!"
Surprise appeared in Bundy's eyes.
Pascal, captain of Prince Reitai's bodyguard.
The direct line within the direct line.
When the other party mentioned the 'selection' that year, Bondi was guessing about the other party's identity.
He guessed many people, and also wondered whether it was Pascal.
But they were all denied in the end.
Because Paschan was closely following Prince Ruitai and could not come to Lord.
However, Paschan now appears at Lord's.
Why did the other party come?
What is it about Lorde that attracts him?
That mayor’s legacy?
still……
Sir's legacy?
Such anomalies made Bundy wary.
Pascal saw the surprise in Bundy's eyes, and the captain of Prince Reitai's personal guard grinned.
Suddenly, with an increasingly ferocious face, the other party approached.
"There is surprise and speculation in your eyes..."
"It seems you know more than I thought."
"good."
"You will only be valuable if you die like this!"
Paschan asked as he spoke.
"Who will announce the start of sentencing?"
"I'll do it."
Hall came out wearing a jacket.
Hall held a silver coin in his hand and stared at Paschan.
"ha."
"Are you going to have a duel soon?"
"It's a pity that Bundy can't be your referee!"
Pascal's words made Hall's temples jump.
"Shut up!"
“It’s not certain who will lose and who will win!”
Hall yelled angrily.
Upon hearing these words, the captain of Prince Ruitai's personal guard smiled.
Laughing loudly.
But even at this time, the black-shirted knight behind him remained silent, sitting upright on his horse, not even trembling with the cavalry gun in his hand.
Elite!
Undoubtedly elite!
Bundy glanced at his men hidden in the temporary fortifications and said sorry in his heart.
He couldn't take them back alive.
He went to death with them.
Hope you won't be blamed.
It took more than ten seconds for Paschan to finally laugh enough. After he stopped laughing, he looked at Hall with a sarcastic look and said in a playful tone: "Wait until I put Bundy's head on you."
I hope you can still be so sure when I'm in front of you."
After saying that, Paschan looked at Bundy.
"Originally I wanted to leave you a complete body."
"pity……"
The malicious words were full of provocation.
This is considered rhetoric.
Very obvious kind of thing.
Normally it has no effect.
However, it is different when life and death are at stake.
Paschan has seen a person reveal his 'true face' more than once in a life-or-death situation.
However, this time, Pascal was disappointed.
Bundy's eyes remained firm.
Hall's eyes were filled with anger, but there was no doubt.
Not working?
Pascal felt a little uncomfortable. The prey he expected to see was not like this.
Fortunately, his prey was not just Bundy and Hall.
The captain of Prince Ruitai's personal guard looked at the newcomers hidden around him.
"Don't worry!"
"After I kill Bundy and Hall, it will be your turn."
"I can take revenge for you in advance."
"After all, it was the two of them who led you to death."
In order for everyone present to hear, Paschan's voice more than doubled.
All the newcomers present heard it.
Some are steadfast.
Some eyes wavered.
Death is something that everyone is afraid of.
Needless to say, these newcomers will feel fear even if they are veterans of the battlefield.
The only difference is that those battlefield veterans will learn to adapt.
What about newcomers?
A stress reaction will occur.
Just like those who are wavering at this time.
Bundy saw it.
Hall saw it.
They didn't have any complaints, just apologies.
What Paschan said is true.
They can't refute it.
All they can do is
bite!
With the crisp sound of metal, the coins rolled and flew into the air.
"knight……"
"Live to die!"
Bundy shouted.
He took out the long sword and revolver from his waist and launched a charge.
If they can't refute, then they can only die in front of them.
Lead by example?
yes.
Not entirely.
It is also called the last guardian of human beings.
Protect the home behind you.
Protect the pure land in your heart.
Lord.
Naturally, he cannot compare to Sir Beta.
Whether it's reputation, strength, or experience.
He was far too far behind.
But one thing is the same.
He will use his own life to protect 'Lord'.
This will remain unchanged until death!
The long sword thrust straight.
Revolver aiming.
Seeing Paschan's face become clearer before his eyes, Bundy went to die calmly.
Bang bang bang!
The revolver connects points, but it still doesn't work.
The bullet was suspended in front of Pascal, unable to make any progress.
The thrusting sword was held in Pashang's hand.
Everything went as Bundy expected.
Bundy tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, trying to move the sword forward.
But the power gap between the two sides is too big.
The long sword cannot advance an inch.
Hall, who was standing aside, suddenly rushed forward.
He just punched Paschan with his fist.
"ha."
Pashang smiled disdainfully.
The other hand easily grabbed Hall and lifted him up.
"Do you think you can hide the murderous intent in your eyes from me?"
Pascal asked sarcastically.
"Of course, it's impossible."
"That's why I let you catch me."
"No!"
"I caught you!"
Hall grinned, raised his other hand, and his legs, and wrapped them tightly around Paschan.
The leather jacket on his body tugged with force, revealing the sticks of explosives.
as well as……
Lighted explosives.
Since Bundy chose to die calmly.
He, Hall, followed closely behind.
As well as...
The old knight and his squire.
Paschan's expression changed.
The captain of Prince Reitai's personal guard, who thought he had everything under control, felt for the first time that things were out of control.
He released his grip on Bundy's sword and prepared to tear Hall off.
At the same time, Bundy let go of his sword and hugged Pascal's arm tightly. This range of movement naturally caused Bundy to lift up his coat, revealing...
Explosives.
Explosives no different from Hall.
Likewise, the lead is ignited.
This touching scene made Hall's lips curl up unconsciously.
Bundy looked at his old friend and smiled the same way.
When the two looked at each other and smiled, Paschan's expression changed again.
His defensive force field can withstand bullets with no problem.
No problem with resisting some explosives.
But, so much explosives.
That is also irresistible.
"let go!"
Paschan roared, raised his arms, and smashed them to the ground with all his strength.
This blow.
Bundy and Hall will definitely die.
The two of them had expected it and accepted it calmly.
wind.
Blowing the southern suburbs farm.
Those ripe ears of wheat sway back and forth.
It was golden in the morning sun.
Very pretty.
Just like that night when the old jazzman Eric bloomed.
Bundy and Hall closed their eyes, waiting for death to come.
They don't have a 'glory shot'.
But it is not without the ability to fight back.
They did what they could.
In their own way, they gave themselves a 'Glory Blow'.
The scene now is very similar to that night.
But, there are some differences.
The bystander from before has not changed.
But the strength of the bystanders...has changed.
call!
The wind suddenly became strong.
Bundy and Hall's hair was blown flying, and the skirt of his clothes was blown loudly.
The severe pain I imagined did not appear.
All I have is a greeting
"That's not how explosives are used."
An all too familiar voice.
Jason!
It's Jason!
Bundy and Hall suddenly opened their eyes.
Jason appeared in front of the two of them, standing behind Paschan, squeezing the back of Paschan's neck with his palms, like he was squeezing a mangy dog.
Only then did Bundy and Hall suddenly realize.
Pascal, who was taller than the average person, bowed more than a head in front of Jason.
When did Jason become so tall?
The two of them thought subconsciously.
Then, I suddenly woke up.
wrong!
Why can Jason control Pascal with one hand?
It wasn't just Bundy, Hall was in disbelief.
Pascal himself was in disbelief.
"How is that possible?"
"I am a fourth-level 'knight' and a 'shield bearer'!"
"How can you, a newly appointed Night Watchman, have so much power?"
Pascal shouted loudly.
Compared with Bundy and Hall before, Jason at this time was the most unacceptable to him.
Although Pascal is a slightly arrogant person, he is definitely not an arrogant person.
This time, the reason for showing such a gesture.
It's entirely because he investigated in advance.
The most threatening Sir Beta is dead.
The mayor, Turkan, is also dead.
Although Lord still has some "mysterious people", they are really not enough for him who was promoted to the fourth level of "Knight" a month ago.
What's more, he also brought a hundred black-shirted knights with him.
There is also a cavalry team of 1,900 people.
That's why Pascal became arrogant.
But the scene in front of him made Paschan horrified.
After Jason pinched the back of his neck, he didn't even have the strength to resist.
"The 'Night Watch' who just took office does not have such power."
"What about me, who inherited Sir Beta's legacy and became a fifth-level knight?"
Jason told lies with a calm expression.
Pascal's eyes widened.
"No..."
Before the word 'can' came out of his mouth, Paschan could only whimper.
Because, Jason stuffed the explosives on Bundy and Hall into Pascal's mouth one by one.
Pascal struggled.
In the distance, the black-shirted knights and cavalrymen came frantically, patting their horses.
Jason was humming slowly and slowly.
"Of course you have to protect your own home... Rise up, the dead who have sadly passed away!"
