Chapter 25025: Let me try
The two sides were on the verge of a war, but neither side gave the order to attack, as if neither was sure of winning.
After a while of stalemate, Enrique seemed to be the first to give up. He sighed and said, "Carl, you are such a difficult guy."
Carl raised his brow.
Seeing Carl's firm attitude, Enrique seemed to want to back off, but he seemed very hesitant.
After a moment's silence, he said, "But my brothers definitely don't want us to leave like this. But if there is a war, we are not completely sure that we can swallow you all."
"Um"
"How about this, let's follow tradition. The war started by the two of us, so it should be resolved by the two of us. The losing party should voluntarily withdraw. How do you think?"
He took out a handkerchief and threw it towards Carl, which was a challenge to the opponent according to chivalrous etiquette.
Carl frowned.
Under normal circumstances he would definitely not accept the challenge, not because he was afraid, but because he had already signed a contract with the caravan and it was impossible for him to put himself in a situation of breach of contract.
But there is really no good solution now. They are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and that group of rabble is of little use. Once a fight breaks out, even if they win, they will suffer heavy losses.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and accepted the challenge, but at the same time he also made a promise to the mercenaries:
"In this battle, you either win or die!"
If he won, then everyone would be happy. If he died, then the remaining mercenaries would not have to abide by the agreement he made with Enrique and continue to fulfill their promise to guard the caravan.
The mercenaries were about to persuade Carl not to take reckless risks, but after hearing what he said, they had no choice but to agree.
"Everyone, make way."
The two sides on the scene did not move. Carl and Enrique came to an open space nearby. Both sides retreated fifty steps and assumed their respective sword-fighting starting positions.
"Ding!" The sound of metal intertwining rang out, and the gong of war sounded.
“Da da da!”
“Da da da!”
The sound of awkward footsteps suddenly rang out, and Carl and Enrique ran towards each other quickly, as fast as two cheetahs running at full speed.
“So fast!”
The distance of a hundred steps was closed in just a few breaths, and the cross swords of both sides pounced on each other in the next moment, like the fangs and claws of a cheetah.
For a moment, there was only a continuous clanging sound, and sparks burst out where the two sides collided.
"How amazing!" Luo Xi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Both his strength and speed far surpassed his own. Luo Xi conservatively estimated that the average of their measurements was at least over ten, which was extremely terrifying among ordinary people.
This was the first time that Luo Xi saw a real knights fight with his own eyes. The dazzling sword fight was so dazzling that he was fascinated for a moment.
"Complete a careful watching of a knight duel, resulting in a critical hit, time +8 days."
The two sides fought for more than a dozen rounds and there was still no sign of a winner. It seemed that the strength of the two was almost the same.
But at this moment, Luo Xi suddenly noticed that several bandits secretly raised their bows and arrows under the cover of their companions, and aimed at Knight Carl in the field.
The mercenaries also noticed this, and one of them immediately shouted, "Captain, be careful! The enemy is about to shoot a sneak attack!"
“Swish, swish, swish!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of anxious arrow sounds were heard, and more than ten arrows were shot from the robbers, flying straight towards the two people in the center of the venue with unparalleled speed.
Almost at the same moment the arrow was shot, Enrique, who was fighting fiercely with Carl, suddenly swung his sword forward. When Knight Carl blocked it, he stepped on the ground and stepped back, instantly creating distance between him and Carl.
Seeing that Carl was about to be shot into a hedgehog, he did not retreat but advanced at the critical moment, dancing his cross sword like a windmill.
“Ding ding ding!”
Crisp sounds of metal clashing were heard, and all the flying arrows were blocked. More than ten arrows broke into several sections, and not a single one of them hurt Carl at all.
"Captain! Captain!"
"Knight Karl! Knight Karl!"
For a moment, the morale of the mercenary group was boosted, and they shouted the name of Knight Carl loudly.
Knight Carl looked at Enrique with disdain on his face, and said contemptuously: "Enrique, you are really getting worse and worse. You even resort to such despicable tactics as dueling and sneak attacks. Ah!"
Just as he said this, Knight Carl screamed and covered his lower back.
But he saw a short arrow on his lower back.
At the same time, a man suddenly jumped out from the group of mobs led by Luo Xi and ran quickly towards the opposite group of bandits.
The man was holding a short crossbow in his hand, and it was obvious that the arrow hitting Knight Carl's waist came from here.
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
The mercenaries panicked and rushed forward to support Knight Carl.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
A burst of crazy laughter rang out, and Enrique loudly praised the man who ran over: "Well done, Sman, chopping off Carl's head is the greatest achievement for you!"
Knight Carl's face was covered in sweat from the pain. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Despicable!"
Enrique pressed his hand against his face, inserted his five fingers into his long brown hair, and sneered: "Meanness is the passport of the mean, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble. If you want to blame someone, just blame yourself for being too stupid. It's ridiculous to duel with a robber."
He unscrupulously mocked Carl's so-called chivalry.
Carl's teeth were grinding, and he really wanted to rush up and chop Enrique into meat paste.
Unfortunately, the actual conditions did not allow it. The arrow hit the lower back and the arrowhead had penetrated into the kidney. The fact that he could stand now was a testament to his extraordinary physique as a knight. If he were an ordinary person, he would have fallen down long ago.
"How's it going? Anyone else want to play?"
Enrique did not immediately pursue the victory. The morale of the mercenaries was still very strong. If he rashly started a war, he would suffer heavy losses even if he won.
He glanced at the rest of the people and performed a beautiful and exquisite sword flower in the air.
He smiled and promised: "I'll give you a chance. If anyone can defeat me here today, I will let all of you go. Otherwise, I will have to follow the rules and cut off your heads and hang them on a tree."
The mercenaries were shocked and angry, while the mob around them were all silent.
Regardless of whether Enrique can keep his promise, the key is who else has the strength to fight him except Knight Carl? You know, that's a knight! In this world, everyone knows how powerful and terrifying a knight is. A knight can easily kill a bear in the forest with his bare hands, and even a tiger or leopard will be torn to pieces.
A knight holding a cross sword is like a war machine. He can easily cut open a heavy city gate and move freely among thousands of troops.
How could an ordinary person dare to challenge such an invincible and terrifying existence? How could an ordinary person possibly defeat it?
"Boring~"
Seeing that the mercenaries' morale had been completely crushed and only fear remained, Enrique's mouth curled up unconsciously and he was ready to give the order to attack.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Let me try."
But suddenly a handsome young man walked out from the crowd, holding a big hammer in his hand.
Her black hair swayed gently in the breeze.
