From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 126 Third Party Intervention (4K)

The two sides confronted each other for a while, and neither of them mentioned the matter of detention. They each set up camps on their own borders. Anyway, they are exhausted now.

On the second day of the confrontation, the soldiers of the second battalion got up early and began to drill. The sound of the trumpets soared into the sky, the thunder of horseshoes, and the clanging of swords made the opponent think they were about to fight.

Seeing their training like no one else, Baron Blaise's chief knight turned green, provocative, provocative!

But what surprised him even more was the opponent's performance in training, which made two words pop out of his mind - Elite.

Maybe there is a gap with the elite soldiers who have been fighting at the border all year round, but in his opinion, this gap is only reflected in actual combat experience. There is never a shortage of wars on the border, and this gap will be made up sooner or later.

This cast a shadow over his heart, and he secretly raised his vigilance. If the other party wants to make a real move, how should he deal with such an army?
On the third day, the confrontation continued as usual, but what surprised him was that two behemoths were being assembled in the opponent's camp. He was not a military idiot, and he could tell at a glance that they were two trebuchets!

"Why do they have trebuchets? It wasn't mentioned in the information at all!" The expression on the chief knight's face kept changing. Don't look at these two trebuchets, in a battle of this scale, they are enough to turn the tide of the battle.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, and hurriedly sent someone to summon Baron Blaise. The situation seemed to be more serious than he thought before.

Alan didn't know the opponent's movements, but he was strictly following Ryan's order to create pressure on the opponent. In his hands, there was nothing more impactful than dozens of hundreds of pounds of stone bullets.

After the catapult was assembled, he rode his horse to the front, and said to the chief knight not far away: "Your Excellency, please ask your people to step back, we are going to test the catapult next, because there is nothing Experience and large deviations, I am afraid that I will hurt you by mistake."

Allen looked like I was doing it for your own good, and his tone was full of "sincerity".

The chief knight suddenly felt a surge of enthusiasm, a threat, a blatant threat.If the other party didn't say this, he could lead the team back with peace of mind, and no one would question him.

But it's different now. The other party said that at this point, he is riding a tiger. If he really retreats, he will lose the face of Baron Blaise.

When it was heard by the baron, he was scared off by the other party's words. How should the baron see himself then?
"Hmph! Thank you for your kindness, but this is our territory, and you should retreat if you want to retreat." The chief knight snorted coldly, no matter what he thought in his heart, he must harden at this time!
"Hehe, this is also our territory. I have kindly reminded you that we will not be responsible for any accidents."

After Allen finished speaking expressionlessly, he put on the helmet clipped under his armpit, turned his horse's head and returned to the army formation.

Not long after, shouts rang out one after another in the camp, and hundreds of strong and strong men with bare arms pushed forward slowly with the catapult equipped with wheels.

Stopped at a distance of about a few hundred meters from the opponent's army, and then began to turn the winch in front of them to assemble the polished stone bullets.

"bang bang"

The throwing rod was released violently, and two tens of pounds of stone bullets drew an arc in the air and landed heavily within the boundary line of Braceland. The brutal impact splashed a large amount of dirt and turf.

The militiamen in Braceland suddenly felt their hearts tremble. In front of such a weapon, their manpower seemed so insignificant that even a low-level Transcendent did not dare to resist this blow head-on.

"Your Excellency, you have crossed the line. Are you declaring war on us?" the chief knight asked sharply with a livid face. The actions of the other party were tantamount to declaring war on them.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, but I think I've already said that we are inexperienced, and the catapults are very deviated. It's the launch trajectory that has shifted. Please forgive me."

As the only knight in the team, Calvin became Alan's deputy without hesitation. This middle-aged man who was born as a mercenary had a smirk on his face. Although he was apologizing in his words, his tone was full of jokes, and he couldn't see it at all. To apologise.

As he said that, two more stone bombs landed on the ground, this time the landing point was less than ten meters away from their army formation, and the militiamen seemed to be able to feel the vibration when the stone bombs landed.

For a while, riots and panic began to spread. No one wanted to face such a weapon, but anyone who fell on them would definitely end up in a puddle of flesh. No one wanted to die in this way...

After seeing the latest news of the confrontation, Baron Blaise broke a beloved vase again. He didn't expect that the "shit luck" Baron who he despised from the bottom of his heart had such a big killer as a trebuchet , and such an army.

Although he still felt that the other party was afraid to start a war with him, he was no longer so determined. After thinking about it, he finally chose to go to the front line, and it was time to sit down and talk.

When he reached the border between the two realms, the confrontation had already been going on for the fifth day. During this period, his chief knight was tortured to the point of physical and mental exhaustion, fearing that the other party would kill him anytime soon.

Because the intensity of the so-called "military exercises" in the opponent's mouth has intensified, and cross-border situations often occur. The most recent time was when a crossbow arrow was inserted between the feet of a militiaman and almost hit the "fate gate", causing tragedy.

Blaise's face was gloomy. Although his anger had accumulated to the extreme now, he also understood that he really had little chance of winning in the face of such an army.

Resisting the urge to fight, he drove forward and shouted: "Okay, it's time for the unnecessary farce to end, call Black out, the Lord wants to talk to him."

Allen showed a slight smile when he heard the words, and after five days of confrontation, the real lord finally came out. He rode his horse and replied: "Baron Bryce, our lord is not here, I am Knight Commander Allen, the supreme commander here, You have something to talk to me about."

"Talk to you? Well, I want you to withdraw your troops, can you do it?"

Hearing that Ryan was not in the camp, Braston lost his patience and his tone became more and more stern.

"Why do you say that, our side is conducting military training on the territory, and you have no right to interfere with our military sovereignty..."

"Enough, you tell Black, I swear on the honor of the nobleman, if he doesn't show up again, there is no guarantee that those people can still breathe."

Seeing that the other party was still pretending to be stupid, Blaise completely lost his patience, completely disregarding his appearance, and threatened the lives of Fetrol and others.

Although nobility is synonymous with black belly and violence, it is rare for someone like him to put it on the table so unabashedly.

Hearing what the other party said, Allen's tone suddenly became indifferent, and he said fiercely: "Your Excellency, you'd better ensure that they are all right. I will report your request for negotiation to the baron, and I will not guarantee the result."

After saying this, Allen turned around and left, leaving Baron Blaise alone in a rage.

When Ryan saw the news from Allen, the corners of Ryan's mouth curved slightly. It seemed that he won the first round of the game, and Blaise still panicked after all.

"When you get to the negotiating table, you can't help yourself!"

……

Ryan walked leisurely on the road for two days, deliberately leaving Blaise alone. He was not afraid that the other party would dare to do anything to Fitrol and others. He had the same attitude as Allen. soldiers attack.

It is only a matter of time before the Brace collar is taken down. Even if the loss is heavy, it is a big deal to start all over again. He has the capital!

When the two frontier barons met, the scene was unexpectedly calm, without the strong smell of gunpowder as imagined.It's just that in the eyes of Allen and others, this is more like the calm before the storm.

"I'm here, what do you want to talk to me about? Talk about how you detain my officials and caravans against the noble spirit without grace?"

Ryan put on the armor for a rare occasion, riding a second-level wildebeest, with a longbow and quiver hanging on the side, it can be said that he is fully armed, and his voice is full of sarcasm.

Bryce was no longer as angry as before, but he calmed down after seeing Ryan. He was not angry when he heard the words, but just answered the wrong question: "I will return all the shame you gave me on the eve of Zhengdan Festival today. .”

"That's just you humiliating yourself. I saved your life, but I didn't expect to leave a trouble."

"I admit that you are very strong, but I am not made of mud. I will show you some color today. Do you dare to accept my challenge to a duel?"

Blaise sneered, and twirled a ring on his finger. This is his confidence to fight again!
Noble duel is a very popular means of resolving conflicts among nobles, and it often takes place between nobles of the same status.

If one party feels that he has been insulted by another nobleman, he can challenge him by making some insulting gestures.

If the challenged gentleman does not accept the challenge, he will lose face, be ridiculed by everyone, and lose all face.

Face is as important to a nobleman as his underwear, and there is no room for loss.

In this honorary duel, life and death are irrelevant, and it is reasonably protected by the kingdom's laws. It can be said that it is the only legal way to kill a nobleman in the Kingdom of Tistan.

Of course you can refuse in the face of a duel, but you will also be regarded as a coward and ruined.

"Duel between nobles, life and death are at your own risk." Ryan naturally had no reason to back down. He replied indifferently, and then rode forward. He knew that the other party must be relying on him, but he was not the same Ryan as before.

The two stood in the open space on the border, and fought this noble duel under the witness of thousands of eyes from both sides.

Ryan held a big sword in his hand and carried a longbow on his back, just stood there quietly, like a beast that had been dormant for a long time, wanting to choose and devour.

Baron Blaise's equipment on the opposite side was much simpler. He was only wearing a light chain mail and didn't carry any weapons.Strictly speaking, Ryan is a fighter, and he is a mage, so there is no need for so many obstructive equipment.

There were flames rising from his eyes, the temperature around him rose sharply, and the surrounding space seemed a little distorted due to the intense heat.

A group of red flames emerged from his right hand, crackling and burning, full of destructive power.

"If it's still the same methods as before, I'm afraid you will report to the Lord of the Holy Light today."

Ryan pointed the big sword in his hand. Because of the existence of Dragon Crystal, he was not afraid of the power of the fire element at all. If he could only control the fire element, even if it showed flowers, it would not be enough for him to cut.

"boom……"

The blazing flames turned into a giant python with tongues of fire, rushing towards it fiercely, there was even the faint roar of the giant python.

Ryan frowned. The flame python gave him a very dangerous and strange feeling, as if what he was facing was not a flame, but a real python.

"[Knight Slash] Break!"

Fighting energy surged all over his body, and the big sword in his hand slashed down. The giant flame python collided with the sharp blade, and was instantly cut in half. What was strange was that the sword blade struck the giant python made entirely of fire elements. The sense of blockage is like chopping a real giant python.

"something wrong."

Ryan frowned, raising his vigilance in his heart.

Seeing that he missed a single hit, Blaise hugged his hands in front of him, traces of scorching breath gathered, and the ring on his index finger shone slightly.

"The skill backswing is so long, do you think I will wait for you to recharge?" Ryan said something that no one could understand, and then he took off the longbow on his back, and the three fine iron arrows Instantly.

Blaise's complexion changed, his muscles tensed up, and then he erupted instantly, leaping upwards, turning his body 360 degrees in the air, and two arrows passed by his waist.

Another arrow shot straight at his face, passing dangerously by his ear.

Before he landed, a fist-sized fireball finally gathered in his hand, and the moment the fireball formed, it shot out of his hand.

Ryan's five arrows hit the fireball one after another, but the arrows made of refined iron were instantly swallowed by the fireball without any residue left.

Looking at the fireball rushing like a little sun, he was happy and fearless, and faced the difficulties with a big sword in his hand. He was so fast that he almost appeared afterimages during the transformation of his figure.

The sword blade wrapped in grudge collided with the fireball, making a sound of "zilazila", and the thick sword body was instantly melted into molten steel.

The fireball was also spread out, bursting like a water-filled balloon, and the flames instantly engulfed Ryan.

Blaise showed a smile when he saw this, but the next moment he saw Ryan rushing out of the raging flames with a half-broken sword in his hand, and kicked him on the chest.

The same scene, the same ending, Blaise's mind was still in a state of confusion during the few seconds when he flew upside down. He didn't understand why Ryan was unscathed?

His body fell heavily on the grass, making a dull sound.

Ryan bullied him, with a strong murderous intent. This time, he was determined to get rid of this hidden danger, and he couldn't keep him after repeated provocations.

The broken sword, which was scorched black, was swung high and slashed down without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the ring in Bryce's hand burst into a burst of bright light, and a magic shield emerged. Although it was shattered by the blow, it Successfully blocked the blow.

Just when Ryan was about to make up the knife, there was a sound of horseshoes, and a familiar voice rang in his ears: "Keep people under the sword!"
