Julius knelt on one knee and pledged his loyalty to Anastasia. Aldibaran stood out from the crowd and knelt before Priscilla. Not to mention Ferris, who had always been loyal to Crusch.
Nangong Xuan also came to Emilia and Firut.
"Xuan..."
“Brother Nangong!”
Nangong smiled slightly: "I am your knight."
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Who is this guy?"
"How can I pledge allegiance to two Dragon Priestesses at the same time?"
Julius could no longer bear it and pointed his sword towards the South Palace.
"You are insulting our chivalry. A subject should not serve two masters. How can you do this? Please take back what you said. Otherwise, I will fight you at the risk of my dignity as a knight!"
Nangong said calmly, "I am not interested in your so-called 'chivalry'. Even if it is an insult, so what? It is just a group of dandy young men who have come to the Royal Knights to gild themselves."
[Best Knight] is no exception.
Reinhardt could only smile bitterly. This map cannon was really a big deal.
"What did you say?!"
"You are a pariah without any status. How dare you!"
"My Royal Guard Knights will never tolerate this person."
The knights stared at him angrily, completely forgetting the horror of the [Mediator]'s execution. Moreover, this black-haired young man looked harmless and had not yet demonstrated any strength.
"Are you just good at banding together and taking advantage of the power of others? The Royal Knights of your country are corrupt enough. I don't mind cleaning up the mess for the future king." Nangong said coldly.
I'm not targeting anyone, I'm saying that everyone here should just keep a low profile.
Reinhard quickly stopped his friend and whispered, "Julius, don't be impulsive!"
"It's not a wise choice to offend a potential ally right from the start." Anastasia sighed.
Julius felt sad that he couldn't even get the support of his master.
Nangong said bluntly: "If you are truly a loyal knight, how dare you go against your master's wishes and act on your own? Do you really have a future king in your eyes? Or do you think that a 'noble' knight is superior to the king's choice?"
Except for Aldibaran, who has a special identity, the other candidates for Lugnica are all equipped with an attendant from the Royal Guard Knights, which is very telling.
From the power of the dragon.
From the beginning, Priscilla had no chance of winning. The kingdom's nobles would not allow an outside force to seize power. To call them knights was also a form of surveillance.
The nobility is permanent, but the kings are transient.
In a sense, the hereditary noble knight class is more noble than the "princess" who comes from the common people. This deep-rooted class oppression and gender discrimination are hidden behind the seemingly peaceful world.
There is no such thing as a royal election. To put it bluntly, it is just an internal fight among the nobles.
"well said!"
Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but shout out, only to find that everyone around him was glaring at him.
This big brother is really my mouthpiece.
Julius was speechless and in a dilemma.
"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and righteous..."
Finally, it was the purple-haired loli who spoke up: "Go ahead and practice your chivalry. I respect the knights I recognize and your awareness."
"Thank you for your understanding, Lady Anastasia."
Julius couldn’t help but be moved.
"It's just two knights fighting over a little personal grudge. How petty." Nangong said shockingly, "Since we are going to fight, all the knights chosen by the king should fight together."
what? !
Everyone was shocked.
"I see. This is my first show to make a name for myself." Priscilla said with a smile, "Are you confident, Al?"
The masked man's eyes glowed red as he said, "I haven't had a proper fight since I came to this country. Slave, I've been thirsty for a long time."
Phyllis said weakly: "I am just a weak woman."
Crusch hesitated and said, "I don't want to point my sword at my countrymen..."
"Don't we have enough fencing experience?" Nangong teased.
"Axuan!"
Really, he was flirting with someone else's hostess.
The silver-haired beauty bit her lip and then stretched out her slender hand towards Nangong.
"Xuan, bring me victory."
Emilia had long since abandoned her unnecessary chastity. Just after being attacked by the enemy and facing brutal execution, she just silently supported her beloved in maintaining her decision.
The same will be true for enemies we face in the future.
Even if one day, the "Silver-haired Witch" becomes a tyrannical queen, it's fine as long as he's by my side.
"Of course."
Nangong Xuan held up Emilia and Firut's hands and kissed them gently. The two beauties, one big and one small, just blushed and didn't dodge or evade.
A half-baked knight wins the favor of two beautiful princesses, which can make all men envious and jealous.
Julius and Reinhardt had mixed feelings after seeing this. This was something that should have been given to them.
Nangong turned around and faced the purple-haired knight.
"I, the Sword Hero, accept your challenge. The title of Best Knight is too annoying. If you lose, never call me that again."
Julius said, “I have a request as well. If I win by chance, please return Astraea’s Dragon Sword.”
"Yuri..."
Reinhard was touched. He never expected that his friend would still want to help him at this time.
It's just too reckless.
Felt said excitedly: “Oh, this is… a 1v1 battle between real men!”
The Kingdom of Lugnica has a five-level hierarchy, which can be seen from the urban structure of the royal capital.
The highest level of the royal city is also located at the highest level in terms of geographical location. Only the royal family and members of the Council of Sages are allowed to live there. The next level is the Noble Street, which is a luxurious building complex adjacent to the royal palace. The mansions of the Karsten family and the Euclius family are among them.
Further down is the bustling commercial street and the civilian street where most people live, and finally the slum street where no one cares.
The circular arena under the royal city can accommodate nearly 10,000 people. It is not only used by the knights as a martial arts arena, but also serves as an important pastime for the king. There have been bloody and violent performances of capturing monsters and letting the knights fight with them.
Aldibaran had already experienced many battles in the Vlachian Empire.
The first battle was between Nangong Xuan and Julius, which was seen as the first clash between different camps. The Guardian Knights also had to prove their military prowess and win prestige for the "king" they served.
"Oh oh oh-"
People who heard the news had already surrounded the arena.
Even the Council of Sages came to the scene to preside over the event. It could be said to be an unprecedented grand occasion since the king's fall.
"[Best Knight], Lord Julius!"
"Is that stranger the legendary Sword Hero? He's far less imposing than the Sword Saint."
"That Sword Hero defeated the strongest Sword Saint of all time, and even took away his sword and protection."
"I heard that their bet is the Sword Saint's token!"
……
In the audience, Priscilla waved her fan and said, "It's disappointing that my knight is not the first to go on stage. Since this is a ring match, we have to continue fighting with the winner. Al, who do you think has a better chance of winning?"
Aldibaran said solemnly: "The Elf Knight Julius is very strong. It is said that he has mastered all attributes and can integrate magic into swordsmanship. This sword skill is comparable to Reinhard."
"The twin stars of Dragon Country?"
Priscilla glanced at Crusch, who clenched his white gloves. If she wasn't a girl, this female swordsman would have been ranked high.
Felt said proudly: "My knight is the strongest!"
Anastasia bit her white scarf and said unwillingly, "Although I don't want to see my friend lose the game, if Hexin's knights fail, it will affect their reputation... I'm so conflicted."
"Anna, you hurt me." Dona Fox said weakly.
I haven’t really seen my father’s sword yet.
Emilia was not worried at all, and there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
She was not present during the battle between the Sword Saint and the unsheathing of the Dragon Sword. Later, I heard about it from Rem, which was a bit regrettable.
The two faced each other from a distance on the field, ignoring people's discussions.
"Don't you want to use a wooden sword?" Nangong said playfully, "It will kill people."
Julius said in a deep voice: “Since this is a duel of life and death, of course we should fight with real swords and guns. Or are you afraid, sir?”
"I'm afraid you won't be able to catch it."
As he spoke, Nangong Xuan took out the [Dragon Sword] out of thin air.
Taking out Astraea's treasure openly was simply a slap in the face of the Sword Saint Family.
In the stands, Reinhard's father, Heinkel Astraea, looked solemn.
If Rhine had not been determined to make up for his mistakes himself, all the masters of the Sword Saint family would have come out in full force to deal with this man, and the fight would not end until his death. He could even lower his dignity and beg his father, the Sword Ghost, to help.
This is an unprecedented catastrophe for the Astraea family... no, the [Dragon Kingdom]!
"After this battle, the title of [Sword Saint] will no longer exist, and the same goes for [Best Knight]. In heaven and on earth, only [Sword Brave] is enough." Nangong said.
Chapter 276 The Princesses' Great Fight
The arrogant declaration, amplified by the magic echo, spread throughout the arena and resounded throughout the Dragon Kingdom.
"Now there's something good to watch."
All the members of the Royal Guards were standing on the sidelines, watching eagerly.
"Julius, teach that brat a lesson!"
"kill!"
The well-trained knights cheered together and issued a deafening war cry. In Nangong's opinion, it was not as bad as he imagined.
This level of murderous intent is all there is to it.
Facing the nonchalant black-haired young man, Julius became even more solemn.
My friend's favorite sword is very familiar to me. I don't know if he can draw the Dragon Sword. If not, why would he show it off?
It's impossible to start a life-and-death fight with the scabbard in hand. That would be playing with your own life!
"Lord Nangong's attainments in magic are definitely not inferior to yours. That is the 'Lost Magic' that I cannot even see through. His swordsmanship is even better than mine, and he has already reached the realm of 'no sword is better than a sword'."
The purple-haired knight recalled his friend's instructions before entering the arena.
"It's okay, Rhine. You don't know magic, so you may not be able to deal with it, but I'm different. With the elves helping me, even a big elf like Melaquila won't be a problem."
Julius was still confident and disappointed with the Sword Saint.
"How can you call that kind of person 'adult'? Did you really develop a mental demon because of a failure?"
"Ok."
Reinhard knew that he could not persuade his talented friend, so he had to give up.
At this moment, the fallen [Sword Master] could only look at the field with a worried look on his face.
"I hope I won't lose too badly..."
Julius went all out from the start, the sword in his hand wrapped in a destructive aurora.
