Wizard: I crush legends with martial arts.

Chapter 101 The Duel

The centaur girl in the lead finally spoke, "We mean no harm, we just want to use this place to rest for a while, and we will leave soon."

In the eyes of the orcs, humans are all cunning. If they were not forced to, they would not want to enter the human kingdoms, especially the northern region, where it is said that the one in charge is a powerful figure from the human kingdom, the Duke of the North.

"Are you from the Kingdom of Bozak?" Alphonse asked.

It sounds like the centaur girl is starting to back down.

Having become stronger, he didn't want to use the Soul-Seizing Technique.

Using the same method all the time is getting boring.

If I wrote this in a novel, readers would definitely complain: "Don't you have any other tricks besides the Soul-Capturing Technique?"

"Yes!" The centaur girl nodded.

"What caused you to cross the line?" Alphonse floated down from Nina and stared with interest at the centaur girl in the lead.

I had seen it in the novel before, and some people were wondering whether the centaur girl came from the front or the back.

Anyone who asks this question has definitely never seen the Isekai XX Girl Illustrated Guide.

It has now been confirmed that the centaur girl's horse body was not covered in front.

It must be said that the combination of human and horse has a unique charm.

Especially the centaur girl at the head of the group, who inevitably reminds one of a purebred steed, pure and radiant, also known as Su Daji.

That photobook was a bestseller, able to compete with a group of beautiful, trendy girls and hold its own on the bestseller list. Unfortunately, its owner didn't want it to join the ranks of Yujun Girls.

When Alphonse was still a corporate slave, "Shining Girls" was one of his favorite mobile games.

This has also led to increased attention being paid to the prototype of Uma Musume (Horse Girl).

What's right in front of me is a genuine horse!

As soon as she got a chance to dart back to her companions.

The three centaur girls did not release their arrows; instead, they loosened their bowstrings and pointed their longbows at the ground.

"I don't think I need to explain this to you, do I?" the leading centaur girl said, relieved that Nina was safe.

"Then you're mistaken. You're on my territory. I can take you in, but at least you should explain to me why you entered my land," Alphonse said with a smile to the centaur girls.

He had already started to make a plan. There were no soldiers in the territory's guard who were good at using bows and arrows, so these centaurs would be good at mounted archery.

Their load-bearing capacity also seems stronger than that of ordinary people; recruiting them might be a good option.

"Our tribe went through a war, and we were hunted down. We had no choice but to cross the border and escape to this place," the centaur girl replied.

Alphonse pursed her lips; it seemed she still didn't want to be too explicit.

"What's your name? How many of you are there?"

Uh... isn't it a bit inappropriate to say "people"? Shouldn't we say "how many horses" instead?

Now is not the time to delve into this.

"Mahaya".

The centaur girl named Mahaya still had a deep sense of wariness in her eyes. She only gave her name and did not say how many of them there were.

"Don't be so nervous. You should be happy, because you're out of danger. This place you've come to is called Frostwind Territory, and I am its lord, Alphonse Tartarus. I don't discriminate against other races." Alphonse paused, gazing at Mahaya, and said, "On the contrary, I'm very interested in you!"

Mahaya and her two companions were shocked to hear Alphonse's words.

I'd heard before that humans are creatures that can go into heat all year round.

But as humans, we shouldn't, at least not, confront foreigners whose forms are completely different from our own.

There has never been such a precedent.

Judging from Alphonse's attire, he is undoubtedly a human nobleman.

They knew a little about how decadent human nobles were from legends.

It really is just like the rumors said!

Alphonse hadn't expected them to misunderstand, and he continued, "I think you need food and warm clothing, which I can provide. I can even make you my subjects and protect your safety, but I can't give you benefits for free. You need to be loyal to me and become my subordinates."

Mahaya's eyelids were lowered, and her long eyelashes fluttered.

After thinking it over, I realized that they were not in a good situation.

Even if I leave here and go to the next place, it might not be any better than this Coldwind Territory.

At least, the lord of Coldwind Territory is willing to offer protection.

It was really strange that the lord of this place came to our door after we had only spent one night on the mountain, and he came alone without bringing any soldiers to surround and annihilate us.

Mahaya couldn't understand how the tribe had managed to expose their whereabouts.

After a moment's thought, he finally made up his mind, looked directly at Alphonse, and said, "We Kyrgyz centaurs are a tribe that reveres the strong. If you want me to serve you, you must be able to defeat me!"

Upon hearing Mahaya say this, her two companions hurriedly tried to dissuade her.

"No!"

"Mahaya, think it over again."

Mahaya waved her hand, interrupting them, "I've made my decision! This is for the continuation of our tribe!"

Alphonse smiled. Although he didn't quite understand why Mahaya hesitated, at least she had made up her mind, which meant she agreed to his suggestion.

If we're going to fight, then it's simple.

Judging from the battle aura that Mahaya just displayed, it didn't even have any attributes yet, which means it was below the fourth rank. It was easy for Mahaya to handle.

Even if I let her have a few moves, defeating her would be extremely easy.

"Okay." Alphonse calmly took a few steps forward, raised his hand, and beckoned to Mahaya with a finger. "Come on!"

"Then watch out!" Mahaya said, and immediately drew her longbow, unleashing a barrage of arrows at Alphonse like shooting stars.

They can even fire arrows in rapid succession!

It even issues warnings verbally, without directly attacking, so its character is passable.

Alphonse inwardly praised him, and instead of retreating, he charged forward to meet the arrows.

In the blink of an eye, the fingers plucked the strings.

Ice flowers bloomed in the air, and arrows were shot down one after another.

This shows that the fighting spirit contained in Mahaya's arrows was extremely concentrated, and it was able to cancel out the sword pellet of "Sword Deflection".

Although Alphonse held back and didn't go all out, her fighting spirit was still quite impressive.

Seeing Alphonse rapidly approaching, Mahaya quickly sheathed her longbow and drew her scimitar from her waist.

A gleaming silver blade flashed, slashing down layer upon layer, covering Alphonse head-on.

Suddenly, they discovered that Alphonse, who should have been shrouded in the glint of swords, had vanished.
