Luku was surprised because of Wu Lai's use of strength - through the collision just now, he judged that Wu Lai's strength was much weaker than his. Even so, he was still able to fight him on equal terms. This could only mean that Wu Lai used clever strength when their weapons collided, otherwise his lance would not have been knocked away, but would have crashed heavily into Wu Lai's chest.
It seemed that there was a sudden sideways push when the collision occurred, and then my lance deviated - Luku thought to himself as he thrust his lance a second time, his eyes fixed on Wu Lai who was getting closer and closer and the sword he raised again...
Twenty steps, ten steps...
"Keng" - the broadsword slashed fiercely at the lance again. Luku's hands shook, and the lance was swept away again. Wu Lai moved sideways with his horse two steps, and his knuckles were cracked...
"Come again!" Wu Lai shouted angrily, squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and the horse let out a long neigh and rushed out.
"Okay!" Luku shouted, and with the butt of his spear he whipped the horse's buttocks, and the horse galloped...
"Not good!" Helen screamed. Although she was a little far away, her eyesight was always good. With the telescope in her hand, she naturally saw both fights between Wu Lai and Luku.
Although it seemed that Luku had the upper hand, Helen could almost conclude that in the third round, Wu Lai would turn the tide. No, perhaps not only turn the tide, but completely control the situation.
Because in the two collisions between the broadsword in Wu Lai's hand and Luku, each time it was closer to the front end - this may not sound like a big deal, but you have to know that if the lance is compared to a stick, the gripping position is infinitely close to the end of the stick. When the head of the stick is hit hard, the holder needs a lot of strength to ensure that the lance does not fall out of his hand...
In such a duel, if a heavy cavalryman lost his lance, it meant that he was ready to be killed...
"I will kill him!" Luku said to himself in his heart, and Wu Lai's horse was approaching again.
He thrust the gun hard, aiming the tip at Wu Lai's chest, and stabbed out diagonally...
"Oh my god!" Wu Lai shouted loudly and chopped the lance with his sword for the third time. This time, he hit the half-elbow position at the front of the lance tip, which was also the sharpest area of the entire lance.
The sharpest means the smallest and the most forward...
“Oh no…” Luku’s heart sank as his lance swung away at a faster speed than the previous two times. He finally understood why he felt that Wu Lai’s strength was getting stronger each time, but it was too late—
As Wu Lai and his horse were shaken away again, the tip of Luku's lance stabbed diagonally into the mud, and the lance's momentum suddenly stopped...
The shooting stopped, but Luku did not stop because he was still on the horse and the horse was still galloping.
He wanted to throw the lance away, but it was too late because his hands were still on the leather grip rings at the end of the lance. Before this moment, the leather grip rings made it easier for him to hold the lance, which was much larger than what others used, and allowed him to stab with the most ferocious posture. But now, they became Wu Lai's accomplices in harvesting Luku...
Luku only felt pain in both of his wrists at the same time, and his whole body flew out involuntarily, but this was just the beginning of the pain - his left foot was still hanging in the stirrup, and when his body was stopped by the lance, his horse was still galloping forward...
In an instant, Luku's wrists and left foot were torn and broken. The tremendous pain made him groan, and he felt that the armor on his body was as heavy as a mountain.
"Am I going to die?" Luku asked himself. Although he couldn't see it, he knew what he had just experienced. The wet and sticky feeling that accompanied the pain was undoubtedly reminding him that he was injured, and very seriously injured.
The sound of horse hooves soon approached and then stopped beside him. Luku struggled to look out through the small hole in his helmet and saw a young face that was serious yet somewhat compassionate.
"Kill me, kill me..." Luku said weakly, with a hint of pleading in his voice.
Wu Lai moved his arms, and the tip of the knife sank, falling towards Luku's neck...
Luku closed his eyes, but the next moment, he felt his head suddenly lighten, and a breeze brushed across his face. After opening his eyes subconsciously, he found that Wu Lai had put away his knife, and the front cover of his helmet had been lifted up.
"You..." Luku tried hard to lift his body, but the armor was too heavy. He was so heavy that he had no strength to get up.
"In this case, you can breathe better. Don't move. Wait for your people to rescue you." Wu Lai glanced at Luku again, turned his horse's head and galloped back...
On the observation tower, Li Moli stole a glance at Helen and urged a lieutenant beside him in a low voice, "Go and rescue General Luku."
The general nodded and quickly ran down the wooden stairs...
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Who should we arrange for the next round?" Several commanders asked hurriedly. Wu Lai had challenged for three rounds and had won two of them. Judging from the results of these two rounds, Wu Lai was far superior to ordinary people in terms of both strategy and strength and skills. It was really difficult to choose someone from the army who could compete with him.
"Hmph, it will be useless no matter who goes." Helen frowned and turned around. She knew almost exactly how capable the generals in the legions under her command were. Lippi and Luku's personal fighting skills were the best. If even they were defeated, it would be useless for others to go.
"What should we do, Your Majesty? Should we give up..." Li Moli didn't dare to say any more, because he saw the smile on Helen's face. It was obviously a bit strange that she could still smile at this time.
"Give up?" Helen smiled coldly, "Tianjuan has never known what giving up means. I will go to the third round myself."
"Your Majesty, your body is worth a million dollars. You cannot take risks." Someone at the side quickly advised.
"Your Majesty, please think twice." Li Moli immediately bowed his head.
"I have made up my mind. Go and bring my horse." Helen waved her sleeves and walked down the stairs to the tower.
"Your Majesty, please think twice." Several generals hurriedly tried to stop him.
"Get out of the way!" Helen's face turned cold, "Do you want to bully the king?"
"We dare not..." Everyone had to retreat to the side tremblingly.
"You don't need to do this. I know my limits." Helen glanced at everyone, lifted her skirt, and took a step forward...
…
"I didn't expect it would be you." Wu Lai glanced at Helen who had stopped her horse about ten steps in front of him and sighed softly.
Ten steps is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous distance. All the Tianjuan soldiers who saw this scene couldn't help but sweat...
"I didn't expect it myself." Helen did not refer to herself as "I".
"Why did you come here in person?" Wu Lai asked.
"First, no one under my command can match you." Helen's gaze fell on Wu Lai's eyes. When she saw a hint of pain just passing through there, her heart trembled slightly, and then she said -
"Second, I know you are here to demoralize our troops. I can stop the morale from falling by coming here."
"Third..." Helen hesitated and lowered her voice slightly, "I want to see you."
Helen's words made Wu Lai sigh again. There was a time when he hated Helen very much, because it was Helen who led the rise of Tianjuan, and it was Helen who led the army and dragged this world into war, letting killing and evil desire spread. She even imprisoned him and Shelley and planned to execute them...
But for some reason, when he saw Helen again, all this seemed unimportant. She was still as beautiful as ever with her long flowing hair, and even the look in her eyes when she looked at him seemed to still have the same spirit as before.
"Helen..." Wu Lai felt like he had a lot to say to Helen, but he didn't know where to start. Blame her? Question her? No, none of this seemed to make sense...
"Wu Lai, let's not be enemies anymore, okay? I don't want to see you get into any more accidents. If you keep resisting like this, more people will die, and you might also... I don't want to see this..." Helen said.
"Are you here to make me give up resistance?" Wu Lai frowned slightly.
Helen hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently: "Yes, Tianjuan will soon unify the continent, Wu Lai, you said that a complete and unified country can allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"But I also said..." Woolley's voice rose a little, "This complete and unified country must be established voluntarily by the people."
"No, Wu Lai, you know that the people will never be the ones in charge. I will establish this country, then clear out the rebellion and bring peace to the world. Then won't the people be able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labor and live and work in peace and contentment?" Helen asked.
"Helen, the truth is not as simple as you think. You use force to conquer the world, but one day, force will destroy everything you have created now and put the people of Tianjuan into an irretrievable situation." Wu Lai said.
"Wu Lai, you are the only one who can stop me." Helen sighed softly, "What you control is what I fear the most, so if you insist on being my enemy, I can only do everything I can to stop you, Wu Lai, everything in the past, no matter who is right or wrong, is the past. Now I just want to tell you that between the two of us, let everything start over, and let the world welcome a new order, an order created by the two of us, okay?"
"No." Wu Lai shook his head firmly. "Helen, your order is not what the world needs, because you will force people to believe in your beliefs and follow your followers. You are not creating a new order, but building a cage that stifles freedom and faith."
Helen's expression became serious: "Wooley, shouldn't freedom and faith be granted to the people by those in power?"
"No, the people have the right to choose whether they believe in Luo or Amon. Believe me, they don't want a country where even their beliefs are restricted." Wu Lai replied.
"No, you are wrong. The true God of this world is only Luo." Helen frowned.
"If there are gods in this world, there must be more than one." Wu Lai suddenly smiled. "Helen, if you have read the fourth chapter of Volume 26 of the Assyrian Book, you should know that a long time ago, this continent was called 'Romon Continent'."
"So, do you want it to be called that again?" Helen's hands began to tremble.
"Yes, I will work hard to make this goal come true, and even do better," Wu Lai replied.
Helen's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Wu Lai, are you going to completely destroy my country?"
"Helen, if your country exists for domination and enslavement, I will destroy your country, and perhaps you as well," Wu Lai said with a frown.
Helen was silent. Although Wu Lai's answer was not unexpected to her, her heart still ached when she really heard it.
Seeing her like this, Wu Lai sighed again, waved his hand and said, "Go..."
"So, you are ready to kill me? No wonder... No wonder..." Helen sighed heavily, pulled the reins, and turned the horse's head.
What she said was so strange. What was so strange? Wu Lai was startled, and then he saw Helen, who had already crossed her horse and turned sideways, suddenly raised her hand, and a gray light shot out from her sleeve...
Oh my god. Wu Lai's eyes flashed with cold light, and he suddenly raised his left arm to block it. "Puff", the gray light fiercely nailed his left arm, and then a ball of crimson continued to spread and spread...
After glancing at the small crossbow bolt nailed to his left arm, Wu Lai stretched out his arm and pointed: "How dare you..."
"I'm sorry!" A trace of pity suddenly appeared on Helen's face. "Wu Lai! I'm sorry! I can't do anything about it. With you here, my country will..."
Wu Lai's body suddenly shook, and even his voice became a little hoarse: "Helen, you actually poisoned this crossbow?!"
"I'm sorry..." Helen looked at Wu Lai again, "That's the poison of the snake saliva flower. If..."
"Shut up!" Wu Lai's shouting scared Helen. Just when she thought that Wu Lai would spur his horse to chase her the next moment, she saw Wu Lai had turned his horse around and ran back, but the glance he gave him before he left was as cold as frost.
I'm sorry, you or many other people will die. Helen said this in her heart, and galloped back. In the distance ahead of her, soldiers were cheering...
"Master!" Caesar ran towards Wu Lai. When he saw the bright red spots on Wu Lai's left arm, his heart sank.
"Let's go! Let's go back!" Wu Lai gritted his teeth and gripped the reins tightly. On both sides, hundreds of special forces had already surrounded them, and everyone's face was filled with anxiety...
When Helen rode her horse towards the observation tower, Li Moli and others came to greet her with joy on their faces.
"Your Majesty is so brave. The bandit leader fell off his horse not far away." Li Moli said.
"And then?" Helen frowned.
"Your Majesty, then the bandit leader was lifted back onto the horse by his men and rushed back surrounded by a crowd of people." Li Moli replied quickly.
"Your Majesty, should we take advantage of the pursuit and charge forward in one go? Now is a good opportunity!" a general suggested impatiently.
"No." Helen waved her hand, "Let the news of Wulai's death spread throughout Marsilitania first, and then we can use troops to suppress it and it will be more effective." If we send troops out now, the news of Wulai's death has not yet spread, and his soldiers will surely fight hard and hold on. There will be no benefit in going there except to increase casualties. It is better to wait for a day or two to let the news of Wulai's death deal a good blow to the morale of Marsilitania.
Helen believed that once Wu Lai, the backbone, fell, it would be just a matter of time before they could capture Marsalis.
