Chris's Faith of Fire

As Ingrid said, the monsters behind the Black Knight once again formed a circle around them, but none of them jumped up to attack. Just as she judged, this guy had the spirit of chivalry.

"In the name of fire, I will attack you here!"

The long sword he was wielding was stained with pure white light, and the black knight also drew his sword and faced it.

Ingrid also raised her sword in preparation for attack.

Although it was two against one, it was still an upright duel.

Chapter 308 303. Do whatever it takes to win - 8

The wind on the plain howled, blowing their hair.

Only then did Latiya realize that she was not wearing a helmet. Her previous riding teacher always taught her not to forget this, as it could save your life at critical moments, but now it seemed that even wearing a helmet could not change anything.

As she rushed out of the city gate, Ingrid caught up with her. The cavalry gun she was handed forced the queen to look at her close friend in front of her. She seemed to have forgotten what happened before and put on the face of a warrior again. He said behind him, "Please let me follow you faithfully to the end."

Looking at her determined eyes, Ladia couldn't refuse...

Now the two of them have finally broken through the encirclement and arrived in front of the Black Knight. This may be the starting point of the counterattack, or it may be the burial ground of the two of them.

So you must not lose!

Ladia held the long sword in her hand tightly. She used two hands to hold the sword that could be held with one hand in the past. Neither she nor Ingrid paid attention to the demons around them. The Black Knight He will not let them attack before winning. This is his dignity as a "knight". Ladia, who has defeated the Black Knight once, understands this.

Lati stood firm. She didn't want to wait for the other party to attack first. She took advantage of the fact that the long sword in her hand still had the effect of holy magic and rushed forward. The long sword was raised above her head faster than ever before and struck from above. This is the basic move of swordsmanship and the most reliable strike.Attacking from above will always be more advantageous than attacking from below. Using the tip of the sword to slash your opponent will force you to defend.

Her movements were done in one go, drawing a perfect semi-circle in mid-air... and then being blocked by the Black Knight.

"Varied!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ingrid also grabbed the hilt of her sword and stabbed her, but her sword was also grabbed by the Black Knight with his left hand.This guy's body is like steel, Ingrid thought to herself... It's not that his armor is so hard, but that the body inside is like a whole piece of raw iron, which can't be cut with just a sword.

As he exerted more force, the Black Knight swung the long sword, and Lati had to take small steps back. Even this felt dangerous. She took a few more steps back and finally sat down on the ground because she couldn't stand firmly.

She hurriedly got up and repositioned herself.

Something was wrong... Lati stared closely at the long sword of the opponent in front of her. It was a black sword with an ominous sword decorated like eyeballs inlaid on the sword grid.This thing even blocked his own light-enchanted sword.

In order to protect the queen who had not regained her posture, Ingrid took the initiative to block in front of her. The black knight raised his hand and waved gently, and Ingrid blocked with his sword.

But the moment the sword blade came into contact, she felt the terrifying power of the opponent. Ingrid frowned in an instant. The heavy feeling in her hand did not feel like being hit by a sword, but by a war hammer. Her sword After being "smashed" into pieces and the armor on her chest being pierced, Ingrid flew out with blood spraying in the air.

With just one blow...the noble female knight was knocked down just like that.

"Ingrid!" Letty shouted. She watched her best friend's body fly backwards and hit the surrounding demons. However, the demons with red eyes did not react and continued to surround the three of them silently. Watch their duel.

Too bad, Lettie thought.

The sense of urgency even prevented her from paying too much attention to her friend's injury, but Ingrid must have been seriously injured and couldn't even stand up, otherwise her character would definitely run to help her immediately. She is such a charming female knight.

She should have run over to treat Ingrid's injuries immediately, but the Black Knight naturally would not give her a chance. As Ingrid was knocked away, the guy rushed forward and made a horizontal slash. He had already realized that Lati, who saw how powerful she was, would naturally not forcefully confront her head-on.

She jumped back a little, and the horizontal slash almost scratched her abdomen. Letty dodged and immediately counterattacked with the vertical slash, but the knight continued to block her sword with his gauntlet.

"Well."

How is that possible, Letty thought.

His Dawn Star is Garnet's sharpest sword, and with the blessing of light magic, it can even cut through the scales of a giant dragon, but the demon knight in front of him only has hand armor... No, carefully Looking at Ladia, she realized that he was holding the blade with his long and strong fingers.

monster.

Cold sweat and fear surged into Ladia's spinal cord, and she used all her strength to finally withdraw the sword.

But for some reason, his movements made Lati curious. It was a move with a touch of nostalgia.

The black knight continued to strike. Her movements were not particularly agile. Every move and every move seemed to be wielding a hammer-like weapon instead of a sword. According to the swordsmanship teacher, this was by no means a qualified swordsman.But every one of his blows was fatal. Lati knew that she could never block but had to dodge!Otherwise it would be like Ingrid.

Thinking of this, she wanted to turn around and see her friend's condition, but... she would be the one who died if she was distracted for a moment. Only by defeating him as soon as possible can she care about her friend. Fortunately, the demons around her didn't do anything, they just Just watching, this allowed Lati to concentrate on the duel with the Black Knight.

Letty gritted her teeth, fighting not to be hit... and at the same time looking for opportunities to fight back, like a confrontation between a wolf and a lion.

"Well……"

Strange.

Lati seemed to react after dodging a slashing blow.

For some reason, the Black Knight's attacks felt more and more familiar to him.

It seemed like someone had taught me such an attack routine in the garden of my home in the royal capital.

The black knight swung his sword, but Ladia had reflexively dodged it.

Yes, looking back, this is an action I have repeated hundreds of times since I was a child.

Gradually, Ladia has become lighter and lighter. It seems that taking off the armor is the right approach. She has listened to that person's guidance countless times, and the words she has said many times are playing again in her head, " Letty, we are all born with strong strength, you have to train your agility... As long as you miss, it will be zero, which is why I have to have her by my side all the time."

When he said that, the man turned around and looked behind him... and smiled slightly with someone.

It was a beautiful memory of when I had just grasped the sword and was unable to grasp the point, when I still had long hair, and when I was a little girl.

clang.

Her eyes were no longer confused, she dodged every blow and counterattacked more and more often.

clang clang clang.

Although each blow made a crisp metallic sound on the Black Knight's armor, the other party did not feel any harm at all.

The scenes in his mind already overlapped what happened when he was fighting with that person.

"Lati! Your attack is too shallow!"

The voice in my head sounded, yes, that was how it was at that time.

Ladia planned to become a knight because of something. At that time, she was very clumsy and moved slowly. Even the wooden sword was quite heavy for her, and it was like a wooden club to swing it.

She swung a blow, but was caught and thrown away.

The Black Knight did the same...caught her sword and threw it away.

It didn't seem like they were in a fight to the death... but rather teaching Ladia the swordsmanship.

Chapter 309 304. Do whatever it takes to win - 9

That was when I was still young, really very young.

I had already recalled some of it just now, but now it is clearly printed in my mind.

It brought back memories of the princess named Ladia's... past.

Latiya's favorite training ground when she was a child was a separated open space located on the edge of the palace garden. It was empty and green all year round, with rocks and greenery interlaced.There are various swords, halberds and spears on the weapon racks beside the wall. Ladia has repeatedly asked the knight leader to teach her swordsmanship, but the leader just found reasons to shirk.

Because she was so young, less than ten years old, even the noble knights who were not princesses could not let such a little girl join their training.

He faced the princess in front of him with a respectful tone, hoping that she would stop making willful demands.

Ladia was in tears. She was very unwilling because a knight she liked had just died in a mission and was slandered by others. Unwilling to do so, she wanted to become a knight like him and protect her motherland.

Since no one is willing to teach you, just learn it secretly.

Ladia hid in the tower and watched the knights training. She tried her best to remember every move and style, and even took notes carefully.Then a person holds a wooden sword in the garden and practices flying in the air. Even if he swings in the air, as long as he persists, he will be more stable than others in holding the sword.She firmly believes in this...and never slackes off in training every day.

The maids often cannot find Her Royal Highness Ladia. Crystal was just born for more than two years. Everyone's attention is focused on the little princess and alienates Ladia.This is better for Lati, and more convenient for practice.

She practices the moves she secretly learned hundreds of times every day...

Although Lati was dissatisfied with not having anyone to practice with, it was better than doing nothing.

Until one day, it was the same day as usual, and a different scene appeared in the garden where I went every day.

Today Ladia is still carrying the wooden sword.

But a knight in armor had already appeared in the garden.

After a long pause, Ladia realized who that person was...

But his expression was serious, not at all like usual.There was also a servant behind him, and the two of them looked at Letty together, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

"Lati, it seems that you often practice swordsmanship alone during this period?"

This was probably the first sentence he spoke at that time.

Lati could never remember who this person was, but he was a very familiar person, and she wanted to cry when she thought of it.

The face that should have been beautiful could only appear as a dark shadow in Lati's mind.

Lati didn't understand why Sombra did that at the time, maybe it was just a whim.

But is she up to it?The princess was very suspicious because she only remembered that the person usually felt weak and never even showed an angry face.

"Yeah, please don't disturb me...I won't listen to you preaching."

Upon hearing this, the other party just shook his head slightly.

"That's not the case at all. I'm here to be your sparring partner, Letty... Come on, attack me and see."

Do not make jokes.

You have no fighting ability at all. You have practiced so many times anyway. Don't treat me like an ordinary child.

Lati rushed forward and struck with an air swing that she had practiced hundreds of thousands of times.But the black figure just raised the wooden sword in his hand, and Lati flew out because of the powerful force.

"Swordsmanship should be centered on efficiency and strength. Although fighting from top to bottom has advantages, your strength is relatively weak. At this time, remember to use skill."

The other party's expression turned cold again, and the words of guidance sounded quite harsh at this time.

The princess refused to admit defeat. She patted her skirt and white stockings stained with weeds, picked up the wooden sword again and rushed forward.

Without a doubt he was knocked away again.

how so?It was like a wall, and she would be bounced back when she rushed towards it. She never thought that that person could be so strong.Because that person has always been so quiet and gentle, and he doesn't look like someone who would walk to the battlefield with a sword at all.

"Lati, I'm very powerful! You have to pay attention to dodge and analyze what I'm going to do next through subtle movements!"

Small movements?

Yes, every time that person just fought back, just kept provoking Latija, determined what kind of moves Ladia used, and then targeted her movements with his own powerful wrist force to knock Latiy away.

So Lati no longer attacked directly. She slowly approached her opponent, straightened her body, and watched every move of the opponent.

Ah, before I noticed, she was knocked to the ground again.

"Come again!"

She really wanted to cry. It was obvious that this person had never been so strict with her, and always put on a gentle smile.

But even when he saw Lati lying pitifully on the ground crying, he still frowned and held the wooden sword.

"Is this the level of your consciousness? Ladia, are you just talking about wanting to become a knight? Do you just want others to think you are great?"

Lettie shook her head.

No, it's not like that... Because there is something in her heart that she absolutely must do, and she must never compromise. She must do it herself, and for this she is able to let go of everything.

"Then show me! Letty, we are all born with strong strength. You have to train your agility... As long as you miss, it will be zero. This is why I have to have her by my side all the time."

The knight pointed to the servant behind him. That servant was the knight's confidant. Because the knight realized that her movements could easily be avoided, she had people guard her. This also proved that she was not invincible.

Lati's confidence rekindled, she picked up the sword again and rushed forward, judging the opponent's movements... and was knocked to the ground again and again.Standing up again and again, I don’t know how many times I repeated this action, but it was familiar again and again, and even the young Lati still found the trick after countless attempts.

You can tell from which direction the opponent will attack just by the slight twitching of the muscles in your shoulders.

That's right, because people can't cut down people with swords out of thin air. There must be warnings before attacking.

She missed her body and dodged the blow.

It worked, I beat her.

The princess smiled, but then the knight's second attack, which did not stop, knocked Letty down again.

"Your attack is too shallow! Victory depends on the opponent coming down... Lati."

She is probably the strongest knight she has ever encountered... Ladia thought to herself before passing out.

……

Looking ahead, her sword plunged deeply into the Black Knight's chest.

In the back and forth just now, she finally found an opening. The dawn star blessed by the holy light actually had the strongest penetrating power. She let go of everything, and her shoulder was also hit and scratched.

But Ladia felt that it wasn't because the Black Knight couldn't defeat her... the Black Knight's sword deviated from its original trajectory, so it was just a scratch.
