Chapter 761: Divine Duel
Weapon racks are placed on both sides of the platform for the duel to choose from. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Common weapons are basically included, from swords to whips, and the prohibition of bringing your own weapons is to ensure fairness as much as possible - for example, the big clans are perfectly capable of crafting better blades, while the challengers are basically in a poor situation, and the quality of the weapons used can be imagined, and the disparity is too large to make the duel lose its original meaning.
However, Thuram knew that there was nothing to be done in this, and the Iron Whip Clan had defeated the Osha Clan by stealing the Blackwater Long Whip. Although the arbitrators later punished the wardens of weapons, the result of Ausha's defeat was settled, and no one would go to battle the great clan of Iron Sand City for the sake of a disintegrating and declining clan.
It's just that no one expected that this dying person would also be reborn one day.
The momentum was so fierce that even the clan capital felt the pressure.
It was the first time he had seen the Flame Boss's unsmiling look at the new challenger.
"Is there a rule that a person can only carry one weapon?" Ash asked suddenly.
"Uh...... There's no such rule," Thuram came to his senses, "as long as you can carry it, you can take as much as you want." ”
"Good, I'm ready. She first stuck two scimitars at her waist, grabbed a long-handled hammer in her hand, and finally put on a square wooden shield, "These should be enough for me to use until the duel is over." ”
Thuram swallowed, although he had long known that this black-haired and golden-eyed goddess was infinitely powerful, but it was too big for this to be outrageous. A two-handed hammer that ordinary people can only use after years of training, but she can actually hold it in one hand, and can swing it with ease and ease like a rapille, and it is a nightmare for the enemy to encounter such an opponent. Apparently, she didn't exert all her strength in the conflict that took place in the tavern, otherwise she would have dismantled the "Skull Wine Cup" empty-handed.
"Me too," Andrea picked out a short bow casually, and deliberately reduced the number of feathered arrows in the quiver to twenty-two.
"Then take the stage," Iron Axe said in a deep voice.
"Wait!" Thuram couldn't help but be stunned, "There are only four of you in the duel?" he glanced at the Greykeep warriors behind him—fifty of them spread out around the weapon rack, facing away from each other, staring warily at the other bystanders, not choosing a weapon.
"Holy duels don't have to be the same number of people, right?" Ash said nonchalantly, "four people are enough. ”
According to the rules, the number of samurai involved in the duel should be between fifteen and thirty, taking into account the restrictions set by the high platform, but there is also a fine rule that the number of challengers must not exceed the challenged clan. In other words, if the other side only sends fifteen men to fight, then Osa can only send fifteen men at most.
This consideration is based on the brutal fact that whether the duel is won or lost, the warriors who come on the court will face heavy losses, and it is not uncommon for more than half of them to be killed or wounded, and even occasionally fight to the last man. Obviously, the more people involved in the duel, the greater the weakening of the clan's strength, so that it is relatively rare to send thirty men to each other for a duel - unless it is known in advance that the challenger will not be able to muster thirty strong warriors, this method will be used to gain an overall superiority in combat power.
Therefore, the Bone Squirting Clan set the number at twenty-two, undoubtedly preparing that even if the duel failed, it would not have much impact on the clan. Slipping from the leadership of Iron Sand City to becoming a challenger does not mean that it is completely finished, as long as there are brave warriors in the clan, there is a chance to make a comeback.
The right thing to do for Ausa would have been to send an equal number of men to fight against him, and even though the Greykeep warriors looked short and thin and not at all brave, as long as the ashes were present, Ausha still had a huge advantage - the kind of power that was born with the Divine Punishment Stone was enough to sway the tide of battle.
However, the four of them are completely different, the advantage of the goddess is to lead the people to survive in the cruel desert, and she is the object of people's admiration, but she is not necessarily suitable for battle. What's more, the duelist will basically wear the Divine Punishment Stone, and the Divine Maiden's ability can easily be suppressed and become weaker than ordinary people.
Once Drow Silvermoon and Andrea lose their ability to fight, all that is left on the field is Iron Axe and Ash. Even if the latter is strong, it is impossible to deal with the bags of more than 20 people at the same time, right? After all, if the other party fights to the death with the idea of risking his life, even if he has extraordinary strength, he can only have two fists and two feet, how can he defend everything?
Thuram thought that the Iron Axe, who had participated in the sacred duel, knew all about this common sense, and since they did not ask him to sit in on the duel when they discussed the duel, he did not pay much attention to the matter in line with the principle of "those who do not ask more will live longer", but he did not expect that this group would be so arrogant.
Stunned as he watched the four of them naturally walk up to the high platform, he couldn't help but shudder, obviously sweating on his forehead, but he still felt like he was standing naked in the cold desert...... It was as if the fire trees that bloomed around him could no longer shield him from the raging cold wind.
You know, he's a member of the Osa clan now!
If this group is defeated, will they still be able to gain a foothold in the Little Oasis? I'm afraid they won't even be able to stay in the extreme south!
Knowing this, even if he threw all his clansmen to them, he didn't want to wade into this muddy water.
The appearance of the four also brought a strong shock to the others, and the use of a few against the majority is a symbol of self-confidence and bravery, but the use of four against twenty-two battle-hardened tribal warriors is no different from suicide.
The boos disappeared in an instant.
Everyone's eyes widened, and the indifference on their faces gradually turned into surprise and solemnity.
"Are you sure Osa is the only four of you?" Faced with such a strange sight, the Flame Leader had to ask.
"That's right," Ash said, raising the corners of his mouth, "let's get started." By the way, you should have written a suicide note beforehand, right?"
The audience was in an uproar -
"Who is this guy?"
"It's too arrogant!"
"Even if it's a goddess, it's impossible to block the arrow of the divine stone, right?"
"Wait, how do I think she's serious......"
"I feel the same way you do, this guy will never have much less blood on his hands than I do. ”
"Are you sure?"
"I'm a samurai, and I can relate to that—my heart is telling me she's terrible. ”
"But there are only four of them!"
"Wait, won't you know the answer?"
In less than a quarter of an hour, the situation on the sidelines changed dramatically, and all the clan members focused their attention on the high platform, and the previous apathy dissolved - whether they were sent to death or not, the courage alone was commendable. For the true warriors, the sandmen will never be stingy with respect.
Listening to the chatter from the watchtower, Thuram couldn't help but hesitate, were they really sure that they would win in the face of such a huge numerical disadvantage?
Just as his mind was mixed and his thoughts were surging, the arbiter struck the gong that hung in the corner of the high platform.
"Then I declare that the sacred duel between the Aosha Clan and the Bone Slashing Clan begins now!"
