Imperial Crown.

Chapter 250 Heroine rescues beauty
The game was over, and people were amazed at Akori's strength. Even though Wesasi had done his best, he still couldn't win.

The fighting methods he learned from the orcs also caused a huge response.

Some nobles thought it was too rude, barbaric and ugly, and it was an insult to the image of nobility, and even contemptuously called it "half-orc barbarian".

But some people think that this is a kind of release of nature, with a kind of wild beauty, and combined with Akori's growth environment, it becomes a rare advantage.

It shows Akori's humble and studious qualities, his unyielding tenacious character, and is even linked to the human race's strong adaptability to the environment.

God knows how they came to so many conclusions from one game.

What's worse, without even verifying it with Akori himself, some people began to spread Akori's "early experiences" on the Sky Eagle platform. However, to Raven, it seemed like a plot from a knight novel.

This was the last game of the 6th round. With the end of this game, the list of the top 16 teams in this competition conference was finalized.

As the end of the competition is approaching, the off-season this time is only 3 days, but this is enough for people to recover to their best condition.

Although Acore had lost his armor and weapons, with Marquis Anthony's financial resources and connections, it would not be difficult for him to temporarily make another set.

The streets of Eagle Town were bustling with people, and pubs of all sizes were filled with people. Everyone was discussing how the seventh round of matches would be arranged.

Many people speculate that starting from the next round, the second-level contestants will be screened out.

After all, the seventh round is to select the top eight of this competition. If there are second-level knights among them, it will be neither fair nor exciting.

Someone sipped his wine and said, "Come to think of it, in this competition, the first-level, second-level, and third-level players are all mixed together. It's not fair in the first place. Or is it that the Griffith family lacks experience?"

Someone nearby retorted, "What are you talking about? Don't forget, this competition was originally held to celebrate Baron Raven's wedding. Who could have thought it would come to this?"

"That's right, I was confused." The man who started it all nodded and smiled. "However, this competition is really fun. With this experience, do you think Baron Raven will make it an annual event?"

In a corner of the tavern, Savanna was wearing a burqa and slowly drinking the remaining wine in her glass.

This was her rare vacation and she wanted to come out and relax, but everywhere was crowded with people.

For someone like Savanna who is used to quietness, Eagle Territory is a little too lively.

After asking the waiter to settle the bill and putting down the money, Savanna left the tavern, stood at the door for a while, looked around, and walked out of Eagle Town.

She was going to go out and relax.

There are fewer and fewer people, the noise gradually disappears, night falls, the moonlight spreads, and the only sound in the ears is the occasional chirping of autumn insects.

Savanna felt a little relieved. Just as she took off her hood, she heard a sound of breaking air behind her.

She lunged forward suddenly, and an iron rod brushed past her shoulder. The earth's fighting spirit wrapped around it immediately tore her clothes, scratched her shoulder, and blood spilled.

"Hiss..." After taking a deep breath, Savanna turned around and looked. Her eyes narrowed and she saw three people at the entrance of the alley, holding iron-wrapped wooden sticks and covering their faces, blocking the intersection.

Although the face could not be seen clearly, judging from the leader's eyes and the rising earth spirit, it was undoubtedly Wami.

Previously in the arena, Savanna had a hard time in one-on-one situations. Now, she was outnumbered and not wearing armor, so it was obvious that she was no match for the three men working together.

Holy Knights value honor, but they are not stubborn.

Savanna turned around and tried to rush out, but before she took two steps, she saw three more people with sticks coming from the other end of the alley.

Her heart suddenly sank.

"Haha, run! Why don't you run, Knight Savanna?" Wami did not hide his voice: "If you had surrendered in the arena, you wouldn't have so much trouble today."

"Everyone here is feeling aggrieved because you lost a lot of money."

"As for you, don't be nervous. Just stay with us for a few days and this matter will be over."

Without any hesitation, Savanna drew the long sword from her waist, burst out with all her bright fighting spirit, and rushed towards the side where Wami was not.

However, at this moment, the three men suddenly squatted down, raised their crossbows and pulled the trigger!

The alley was narrow and there was no way to avoid it. Savanna could only swing her sword to shoot down the three crossbow arrows. However, this also gave Wami time to approach, and the thick earth fighting spirit came whistling with the sound of wind.

Savanna half-spun her body and blocked Wami's iron rod with her sword!
A tough battle is coming.

Wami's swordsmanship was superior to Sawanna's, and his offensive was flawless, leaving Sawanna overwhelmed; the other five people, although they were only first-level transcendents and could not break through the fighting spirit armor constructed by Sawanna, but every attack was a severe consumption of her fighting spirit!
Finally, when blocking Wami's stick again, Savanna's fighting spirit flashed and collapsed, and the sword in her hand was knocked away and fell to the ground with a clang.

"Ha, it seems that if we really fight, I will still be the winner, right?" Wami smiled proudly, and swept the iron-wrapped wooden stick fiercely. The fighting spirit brought up wind pressure, which immediately tore Savanna's robe, revealing a large area of ​​skin.

“Tsk…” Wami narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

As a Knight of Light, Savannah's figure is much fuller than that of ordinary women. Her skin is firm and smooth, and her breasts are quite impressive. Especially after intense exercise, her sweat has soaked the chest straps, making her look quite attractive under the moonlight.

Years of training left marks on her body. The few scars did not damage her charm, but instead added a bit of wild charm to her.

"What a beauty." Wami licked his lips and said, "Brothers, tie her up and let's enjoy her!"

Savanna has never had a good impression of nobles, but she never expected that Wami would be so bold as to gather a group of people to stop her!

"If I disappear here, Archbishop Thomas will never let it go." Savannah said calmly, "It's not just him now. Marquis Anthony, Earl Montreal, and Earl Tyrone are all here. Can you really withstand their wrath?"

These words immediately made the five people nearby shrink back.

Wami sneered: "Tsk, he's just a small second-level holy knight."

"This is Eagle Territory, the territory of Baron Raven, not the Papal States. Do you think anyone would mess with every noble here just because of you?"

"Besides, you won't disappear. When we have enough fun, we will release you."

"When the time comes, it will be good for you, for me, and for everyone!"

Wami tilted his head, exchanged glances with his accomplice next to him, and let out an obscene laugh.

There was a flash of determination in Savanna's eyes.

Life is precious, and those who commit suicide will never be able to ascend to the kingdom of the Lord of Light.

But rather than being humiliated, Savanna would rather die like this!

At this moment, she compressed the remaining fighting spirit in her body and rushed it towards the seed of power in her lower abdomen, intending to end her life in this way.

boom--

The iron rod swung and hit Savanna's shoulder, knocking her to the ground and dispersing the fighting spirit that she had worked so hard to build up.

“Tsk, you still want to play this trick on me? Do you really think I have never seen a Transcendent who resisted?” Wami sneered, “Put the Demon Sealing Steel on her!”

Despair rose in Savanna's heart. She gritted her teeth and stared at Wami: "...The Lord of Light will definitely punish you for your sins!"

"That will happen later." Wamy poked Savanna's chin with a stick, "But before that, I will let you go to heaven first!"

Savannah closed her eyes tightly.

At this moment, an indistinguishable male or female voice rang out: "I thought nobles should have some dignity, but I didn't expect they are worse than the thugs on the street."

"Who!?" Wami looked back.

On the top of the wall, there was a figure standing, wearing a wide-brimmed military cap, a tweed suit, and a large windbreaker.

Then, he moved!

He stepped on the wall with both feet and flew into the air. His windbreaker stretched out in the wind, revealing his agile figure. The wide windbreaker covered the moonlight. His slender palms stroked the straps on the outside of his thighs, and three black throwing knives fell into his hands.

A shadow gushed out and covered the flying knife, which flew out of his hand and disappeared in an instant.

When it reappeared, it was already close to Wami's throat.

Wami felt his hair stand on end. He raised the iron rod and swept it across, knocking the flying knife to the ground. However, the next moment, a flower of blood bloomed on his shoulder: "Ah——!"

He covered his shoulder with his hand and squeezed his muscles with fighting spirit. With a clang, a black steel needle fell to the ground with blood.

The man actually used a flying knife to cover the steel needle, catching Wami off guard!
At the same time, the man in the air had already landed on the ground. He raised his leg and forced the people surrounding Sawanna back, and helped her up: "Are you okay, Miss Sawanna?" When she touched the man's arm, Sawanna was slightly surprised, but still said: "...Thank you, I'm fine."

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business?" Cold sweat ran down Wami's forehead.

"Manson, the commander of the security forces in the lower city of Montgomery, a second-level shadow warrior, under the command of Baron Raven." Mantheni glanced at Wami.

"So it's you... Ha, a gangster bastard dares to hurt me!" Wami took a deep breath and shouted, "Let's attack together!"

"Wait a moment, I'll deal with these guys who are in the way." Manseni said softly, and the shadow of fighting spirit wrapped around her body disappeared in an instant.

Her figure rose in the shadows and appeared behind one of the ambushers. She punched out suddenly with Phoenix Eye in her hand. The shadow fighting spirit was silent. After a slight sound of bone cracking, the man suddenly fell to the ground.

"Shadow jumping..." Wami's eyebrows twitched wildly. Manson was only in his 20s. How could he master this technique so skillfully?

"Light the torch!"

Wami roared loudly, used the Deep Rock Armor, and rushed to Savannah.

He didn't know why this guy named Manson came, he only knew that the other party valued Savanna very much. As long as he could catch Savanna, he would be able to take the absolute initiative!
Wami succeeded. At this time, Savanna had no ability to resist, but she looked at him as if she was looking at a clown.

"Where is the torch? Why hasn't it been lit yet?!" Wami turned back angrily, but suddenly froze in place.

No one lit a torch. There were only five bodies lying on the ground, motionless, and their lives or deaths were unknown.

A chill rose from behind Wami, making him shiver: "—Come out!"

"Here it is." Mansene's voice sounded behind him. Wami's heart trembled, and he suddenly elbowed back, and then he screamed in pain again!
A pitch-black dagger had been stabbed into his elbow, and the iron rod in his hand fell to the ground.

Only at this moment did he realize how unwise it was to fight a shadow knight in an alley full of shadows!
Suddenly, a huge force came and threw Wami to the ground. When he turned over, he saw an iron rod wrapped in shadow fighting spirit against his jaw.

"Manson, you..." Wami swallowed his saliva: "Don't do anything stupid, I am..."

At this point, he was stunned.

"Who are you?" Mantheni chuckled and lowered the stick slightly: "Let me see it with my own eyes?"

It would be fine if he didn't show his face and give others no evidence when attacking Savanna, the Knight of Light. After all, his family is a viscount family. Without any evidence, the Church of Light would not do anything to him just because of a knight.

But if his identity were revealed, it would be a major political incident.

Although he is the heir, he is not a viscount after all, and cannot withstand such a huge thunder!

"No, no need!" Wami shook his head vigorously: "I am just passing by, I am nobody!"

"Just passing by..." Mansene bit her lip lightly: "What a good identity."

This sentence made Wami feel relieved. The reason why he dared to attack Manson after he revealed his identity was that he knew that a qualified subordinate would never make things out of control during the host's wedding.

Obviously, this Manson is a qualified subordinate, and this also means that Wami will not face a bad ending.

But Mantheni's next words made his heart suddenly rise.

"According to Baron Raven's decree, anyone who molests a woman shall be castrated."

"Since you are not a noble, you have no immunity, so I won't be polite."

Wami's pupils shrank: "Wait, I am-Ah!!!"

The stick in Mantheni's hand suddenly smashed between Wami's legs. Although the Deep Rock Armor was still working, it still destroyed all the enemies. He let out a sharp explosion, and then his eyes rolled back and he fainted completely.

"Can you still move?" Mantheni looked at Savannah, and after getting a positive answer, she helped her out of the alley and sat down on a bench in the garden not far away.

Savanna stared at Mantheni in a daze.

Mansene quickly withdrew her hand from supporting her, and explained: "I don't mean to take advantage of you..."

"I know." Savannah came back to her senses and smiled: "Besides, we are all women, how can you take advantage of me?"

Now it was Mantheni's turn to be stunned. She scratched her hair and thought, could it be that after returning to the Eagle Territory, I have been slack in my disguise?

"Your disguise is good, but I used to work in the Inquisition." Savanna smiled: "As soon as I touched yours, I knew it was not a man's hand."

"Also, thank you for what happened today."

"Actually, I should say sorry to you about this matter." Mansene said: "Logically, they should all be arrested, but..."

Savanna shook her head. She had been with Archbishop Thomas for five years and was no novice in politics. She understood Mantheni's approach. "This is not the first time I've been rescued by Baron Raven. I haven't repaid him yet. Who am I to find fault with him?"

"Not the first time?" Mantheni was stunned.

"Before, on Bloody Highlands, I was on a secret mission and was captured by horse thieves. It was Baron Raven who saved me." Savannah sighed with self-mockery: "That was almost three years ago. At that time, Baron Raven was a first-level magician, and I was a second-level magician. Now Baron Raven is a third-level magician, and I am still a second-level magician."

This statement also resonated with Mantheni - Raven's progress was so fast that he was almost leaving everyone behind.

Little bee, baron, third-level magician, these three terms cannot be connected together if you have not seen them with your own eyes.

"Speaking of which, it was you who solved the vampire incident in Mon'en City last year, right?" asked Savanna.

She later read the full set of files, including Raven's thank-you letter.

Savanna knew the dead Father Byron, but he was just a civilian and had no idea how to fight. Although Raven was already a third-level magician at the time, vampires were swift and secretive, so he should not be able to deal with them.

Savanna had always suspected that it was Mantheni who was the main force in dealing with the vampire, or at least entangled the vampire, giving Raven room to perform.

Now that I've seen her superb skills, I'm even more certain of this.

"Although I would like to admit it..." Mantheni smiled bitterly, "But the vampire issue was resolved independently by Baron Raven, and I almost held him back."

"What!?" Savanna was stunned.

A magician, in a one-on-one duel, was able to defeat a vampire of the same level! ?

You know, magicians have always been called "glass cannons". Once they are approached, they have almost no room to fight back. In the records of the Inquisition, there is even a precedent of a second-level assassin killing a sixth-level magician.

Raven... is he this strong?

"A-choo!" Raven, who was in the study, sneezed suddenly and rubbed his nose: "I don't know who is talking about me."

Raven knew that there must be a lot of people talking about him right now, and they were all looking forward to the next list of names.

The match between 16 and 8 is indeed difficult to arrange, after all, we have to take into account the forces of all parties.

Gul'dan and Akre's previous battles were not easy, so they had to be given some easy battles; although Savanna and another holy knight performed well, it was time for them to come to an end.

The Fox family had gone through internal strife in the last round, so they can’t deliberately push them down this time; Earl Tyrone’s people also have to be protected.

Raven made some notes on the parchment and handed it to Ingra: "Okay, publish it according to this."

Ingra glanced at the list and frowned, "Baron, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"Go ahead." Raven said calmly.

In anxiety, Ingla left, and the list was announced that night, causing an uproar.

People were shocked for the same reasons as Ingra.

There are still five second-level players in the current top 16. If arranged properly, it will be enough to send Eric to the finals.

But Raven arranged an opponent for Eric that no one expected - the Baron of Ironforge, the third-level Flame Knight, Judra!
And the match was scheduled for the first game of the 7th round!
What is Raven thinking? Is he just throwing in the towel, or does Eric really have a secret weapon that can defeat Judra?
Although it has not been long since Judra broke through to the third level, he is already a third-level two-star knight, but Eric has just broken through to the third level!
On August 8, the 18th round of competition officially began.

The answer will be revealed today.
