<h4>Chapter 175: The Knight Who Suddenly Arrived</h4>
But this vassal knight who was known for his bravery was defeated just like that.
He lowered his head in a daze.
Looking at the wooden spear that was pressed against his lower abdomen, he had a stunned expression on his face.
He simply could not imagine that he would be defeated so easily.
The stunned crowds around him and the silence on the viewing tform on the city wall made him feel ashamed and salty. It immediately turned into anger and he howled when he took half a step back. He stretched out his hand to grab the wooden spear that was pressed against him and ferociously charged forward, he wanted to use the shield in his hand to smash against that poker face.
“How can I lose!”, his eyes were filled with hatred.
However, what weed him was not victory, but the agile turn of the Sarrandian horseman. Without any doubts, the Sarradian horseman let go of the wooden spear and pulled out the wooden sword at his waist. The Sarrandian horseman used the hilt of the sword to strike his lower abdomen once again.
But this time, the Sarrandian horseman did not show any mercy.
It was just like a closebat battle.
Steady, urate, and ruthless.
“Bang.”, a faint sound appeared.
The hilt of the sword heavily struck the unprotected abdomen of the vassal knight.
The aggressive vassal knight suddenly stopped. His eyes widened, and his gaze was dull. He could not help but let out a muffled groan, curled up his body, and slowly fell to the ground.
Only then the Sarrandian horseman slowly step back.
There was stillplete silence.
Even the servant, who was announcing the result, could not react in time with his trembling lips.
No one had expected the result to be so straightforward.
Even the people on the viewing tform werepletely silent, they felt that their necks were a little stiff. At this moment, they did not even dare to turn their necks to look at Baron Dn, let alone shout.
Such a straightforward failure twice in a row was undoubtedly a provocation to the baron behind them.
Baron Dn’s face was indeed a little ashen.
This was very embarrassing.
However, he took a breath and tried his best to recover his emotions. He forced a smile and said to Kant who was beside him, “What a good guard. Little Kant, I’m really puzzled. How can your guard be so strong?”
“I. . . Don’t understand.”, Kant looked puzzled.
He really did not know, and he never saw thating.
He didn’t expect these Level-4 troop ss Sarrandian horseman could defeat the vassal knights so easily.
However, he still exined, “That is the strongest among my guards. He used to be able to fight against more than a dozen of Jackns alone. He is a very strong guard.”
“No wonder then.”, Baron Dn’s expression became much better.
The surrounding merchants andndlords also nodded thoughtfully.
No wonder then.
If he was not the strongest, he would not able to defeat that vassal knight who was equally strong so easily. Otherwise, wouldn’t the knights at the Stone Pass be a joke?
“Reward the victor with five great silver coins!”, Baron Dn ordered.
At the same time, he smiled and said to his butler, “Give that defeated knight one great silver coin and tell him not to lose heart. This is a strong fighter among the guards. Since he started to underestimate the enemy, it is only right for him to lose.”
“Yes, sir.”, the butler immediately walked down from the viewing tform.
“Fair Baron Dn.”
The merchants andndlords all ttered their baron one after another.
Even the people below cheered again and continued to liven up the atmosphere. Obviously, they had also epted this reason. After all, Baron Dn was the supreme authority of the territory. The exnation he gave waspletely correct, there was no need to doubt it.
The reward was soon given.
However, Kant shook his head at Manid who was beside him.
The two of them came to an understanding.
Manid immediately understood. He quickly walked down from the viewing tform and went to the outer area of the arena below the city wall. After giving a few gentle reminders to the other waiting Sarrandian horsemen, he returned.
Seeing Manid nodded, Kant smiled.
It was good that it was done.
“Thepetition will continue!”, the butler’s voice sounded again.
The Sarrandian horsemen and the vassal knights were engaged in a fierce battle. However, it was no longer as straightforward and sudden as the previous match. On the contrary, the following Sarrandian horsemen appeared to be a little clumsy. Their fight techniques were very methodical in their attacks, it was almost as standard as the textbook.
Sometimes, it was not suitable for a real battle, even for a simting battle.
Very soon.
These Sarrandian horsemen and the vassal knights had some wins and some losses between them.
But in the end, more horsemen lost.
It brighten the faces of the vassal knights. They secretly discussed with each other as well. They secretly ridiculed these knight attendants who looked dull at first nce.
“The attack is too rigid.”, a smile returned to Baron Dn’s face.
“Yes.”, Kant nodded.
In the arena, thest match ended.
The Sarrandian horseman used the most standard attack method and was easily dodged by the agile vassal knight. Then, the vassal knight used the wooden sword to point at the back of the Sarrandian horseman, announcing the victory of this match.
“Long Live! You are the strongest!”
“The knight under Baron Dn is the strongest knight!”
The crowds were shouting and cheering for their vassal knights to win the tournament.
The atmosphere in the entire arena was extremely heated.
It was the same on the viewing tform. Everyone was praising the excellentbat skills of the vassal knights. At the same time, they were secretly belittling the Sarrandian horsemen’s rigid and textbook-like attack method. Their words were filled with disdain.
“Ha Ha!”
Thest victorious vassal knight also let out a victorious battle cry. He raised his wooden shield and wooden sword high and made a provocative action towards the Sarrandian horseman.
However, his provocation was still ignored.
The 20 Sarrandian horsemen turned around and left.
However, in the eyes of the crowds and the vassal knights, they were fleeing in panic.
There were even more jeers at them.
“Little Kant, I hope you won’t be angry.”, Baron Dn turned his head, he seemed to be consoling Kant. “Sometimes, victory can not be limited to those inferior Jackn. After all, only our human warriors can possess all kinds of exquisite techniques and powerful strength.”
“Perhaps.”, Kant shrugged his shoulders in disappointment.
However, no one could see the hidden mockery in his lowered eyes.
That’s right, this was only a tournament.
But after fighting in the Sarrand Desert, experiencing countless battles, and being bestowed with powerfulbat techniques by the system, how could the Sarrandian horseman easily lose the victory of the tournament?
If he had not asked Manid to inform the Sarrandian Horseman, these vassal knights would probably have been beaten to the ground by now, making Baron Dn lost his face!
This was for the sake of the overall situation.
Kant wasn’t willing to reveal his strength so early.
It was good enough to show a little of his strength and let Baron Dn know that he had the support from a hidden force.
If he were to reveal Oasis Lookout now...
It might ended up that Baron Dn would be afraid of him, and there was even the possibility of Baron Dn directly falling out with him.
The current harmony was based on the premise that Kant’s strength was weaker.
Once Baron Dn discovered that Kant’s strength had taken root in the Nahrin Desert and became a terrifying devouring beast, it would be absolutely impossible for him to sleep as peacefully as he did now. He would probably not hesitate to collude with the other stronger noble forces in the Dukedom of Leo and join forces to devour Kant.
No one was a fool to be able to be a noble, and no one was willing to see the other nobles be stronger than themselves!
Thus, Kant just pursed his lips and smiled. But the others thought that this was the awkwardness and embarrassment after losing the match.
Baron Dn even walked over and patted Kant’s shoulder, he smiled and said, “You are already lucky to have this group of guards. As long as they have a few more years of practice, they will definitelyparable to my vassal knights. Don’t be discouraged, it’s not a big deal.”
“Well, thank you for your arrangement, Uncle Dn.”, Kant smiled and nodded.
The atmosphere became harmonious.
While Baron Dn was holding a sweet wine mixed with honey and about to say something, the chubby butler quickly walked over from the tower next to the viewing tform. His face was a little flustered.
“What’s wrong?”, Baron Dn asked with a frown.
The butler came to the side of Baron Dn and said hurriedly, “I don’t know what’s going on. Viscount Wayne’s vassal knight has arrived outside, and he even said that he wants to participate in the tournament!”
“Viscount Wayne’s vassal knight?”, Baron Dn frowned.
His expression was bitter. He reprimanded the butler, “I don’t remember inviting that old thing, Viscount Wayne’s vassal knight to participate. What’s going on?”
“I was the one who volunteered to participate.”
As he spoke, a middle-aged man with a cold expression walked out from the tower beside him.
The surroundingndlords and merchants were slightly stunned.
As for the vassal knights belonging to Baron Dn, their expressions were solemn as they stared at the middle-aged man. They subconsciously clenched the wine sses in their hands, their faces cold without any slight of a smile.
“Heh, Knight Terrence, it’s such a coincidence to see you here at such a time.”
Baron Dn was wearing a smile on his face.
However, it was a cold and impatient smile. “I actually forgot to send you an invitation to the tournament. It really makes me feel a little apologetic. You must havee in a hurry and must not have made any preparations. Why don’t I invite you to participate in the next tournament in advance?”
“Oh, thank you, Baron Dn. I wonder when you will hold the next tournament?”, the middle-aged knight called Terrence also asked with a smile.
Baron Dn shrugged. “About ten yearster.”
“Hahaha –”
Immediately, the surrounding vassal knights burst intoughter. These knights who belonged to Baron Dn, of course, were not on good terms with the vassal knights who were under themand of Viscount Wayne.
This stemmed from the conflict between the two noble families.
However, Dn was a baron, and was lower than Wayne, the viscount who ruled the dukedom’s northern county, .
They had always been bullied.
Now, they could find an opportunity to ridicule the vassal knights of the viscount, which was also a pleasant thing for them. Although they did not dare to directly ridicule him, they stillughed when they matched with Baron Dn’s words, it could also bring them psychologicalfort.
“Well, that’s a pity.”
However, Terrence was not angry at all. Instead, he said faintly, “Ten years is a long time. It’s long enough for some noble to be stripped of their noble title and be a lowlymoner again.”. After a pause, he looked at Baron Dn, he said calmly, “Oh, maybe it’s even worse than amoner, just like those dirty and smelly poor people.”
