Chapter 35: The Duel

As soon as these words came out, everyone behind the soldier changed color.

There was a sadness in their eyes.

Indeed, in terms of strength, the two sides are too far apart.

Marven estimated that this group of soldiers were the ones who were responsible for the daily garrison of the shelter at the beginning of the cataclysm.

At the beginning of the cataclysm, the City of Steel must have shown the qualities of a militarized city.

The soldiers sent the military dependents, the old and infirm women and children behind them, to the shelters.

But the rest is not something they can handle.

The rampaging wizards destroyed everything.

Most of the soldiers died in the city.

Only a very small number of people survived, guarding the shelter and living carefully.

Originally, the food and fortifications in the shelter were enough for them to survive, but for some unknown reason, the people of the dream scorpion discovered the entrance to this shelter.

A few days ago, they noticed a strange movement, and today Semir led a large number of people to raid the heart of Morrigan.

They were defenseless and had to confront them with the most rudimentary fortifications.

The Heart of Morrigan is a true underground fortress - but only if it needs to be controlled by a Tinkerer wizard.

Generally speaking, the City of Steel will not activate such a strategic-level shelter without special warning.

Artisan wizards also have a high status, and they do not hide in the empty underground fortress for a long time.

So when the cataclysm broke out, there were no wizards in the Vault.

So. Although they escaped the catastrophe, they also encountered other troubles.

They probably don't know how to activate the fortress's defensive runes, and can only rely on the most basic physical barriers, a few gates and mechanisms, to fight the bandits.

If the other party really makes a move. I'm afraid they are more than lucky.

Marven made a preliminary estimate of the strength of the two sides.

On the military side, there is probably a standard city defense team, just twelve people. The rest are more than three times as old and weak women and children, and basically have no combat effectiveness.

On the bandit side, there are more than 30 people, and although their weapons and equipment are not as sophisticated as those on the military side, they are better than the number of people. It's just that the quality is a bit uneven.

Except for the leader Semia, who is a fourth-order master, the rest of the people are all around the second-order.

And the ordinary members of the city defense team are all strong people who are at least the second order or higher.

There are also two third-order people among them. It is estimated to be a vice-captain-level figure.

As for their leader, it turned out to be a powerful fourth-order master, and it is estimated that this is the reason why the bandits have not made a move for a long time.

When the two sides fight, they will most likely win. But there will also be heavy losses.

……

"Fourth-Order Combat Class...... This is definitely one of the strongest in the army. ”

"Although the city of steel is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. But it can't be just a squad leader, right? ”

Marven was a little puzzled, he took a closer look, and suddenly, he noticed that the military leader's right foot was trembling a little.

As a professional soldier, in this case, it is impossible for him to be nervous or anything because of psychological factors.

Then there is only one answer.

He had a hidden disease.

Sema's eyes were also very vicious, although he was afraid of the strength of the other party's fellow fourth-order masters, he had long observed this.

That's why he dared to be unashamed to keep bargaining.

However, the response he received was a cold sentence:

"Dreaming!"

The leaders on the military side are particularly tough. He suddenly took a step forward.

This step completely exposed the disability of his right foot.

However, he was undaunted: "Since you are clearly looking for trouble. I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you guys. ”

"If you want to fight, we will fight you to the death!"

As soon as these words came out, the people behind him immediately shouted angrily:

"That's it!"

"Fight with them!"

"We are all relatives of soldiers, how can we be blackmailed by a group of bandits?"

There were a few old men, so old that they could not even hold their crutches, but they still trembled and hid their daggers in the palms of their hands.

The girls quietly wiped their tears.

Twelve soldiers—probably the last of the men in the Iron City—stood guard in front of the front passage.

There are no gates here, but with them, they form a wall that cannot be crossed!

……

Sema's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although bandits are a profession that licks blood on the knife, they are the most greedy and afraid of death.

Compared to the soldiers, they obviously lack a breath of blood.

Although Semir was guided by a mysterious adult to find a shelter, the adult made it clear that he would only be able to help him more if he built the fortress himself.

He has also seen the magic power of that adult, and it is too powerful, I am afraid that even if it is a legendary legend, it is nothing more than that.

If you can get her help, in this special era, it is really possible for you to establish a force.

So this refuge must be taken!

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Semir's eyes.

But there was a slight smile on his face:

"It's not necessary."

"We're just trying to get some more resources."

"Now that we are facing a catastrophe for all of humanity, it is better to unite a little."

The military leader said indifferently: "The words you just made do not look like unity at all. ”

Semir pretended to spread his hands: "Okay, I apologize for what I just said, but it was just a joke. ”

"Well, let's change the rules of the game."

"I know you have a lot of food and weapons in the fortress, but none of us can convince anyone about the distribution plan, and it is impossible to really do it, it will be too hurtful and infuriating."

"It's better to come up with a plan for each of us. Then arrange three one-on-one duels, two wins in three rounds, and execute according to the winner's plan, how? ”

Semir smiled: "Of course, I can guarantee that the distribution plan I propose will not include the girls behind you, haha." ”

"All we need is food and weapons."

The military leader hesitated.

Semar's concession made him a little difficult to do.

If you blindly take toughness to the end, you will only sacrifice the interests of your own people.

"If it's a duel...... Three-on-three ......"

He subconsciously looked at the bandits' team, then at his own people, and finally gritted his teeth:

"Yes. But I need to know your distribution plan first. ”

Semir smiled smugly:

"If we win, we want half of the food and two portions of military equipment per person!"

The military leader frowned, just about to say too much.

But if you think about it carefully, if you are three against three, your side has a great chance of winning, and it seems that it is impossible to continue to bargain.

"Good!"

"Let's duel!"
