Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1168 1150. Duel of Honor

A little afraid to look at Lan En, Lincoln tilted his head and whispered.

"Sir, because of your relationship, the most commonly used and trained weapon among the knights has now been replaced by the long sword of the elves."

As he spoke, Lincoln stretched out a finger and tapped Lan En's waist cautiously and slightly.

Lan En's own head also went down in this direction and saw the Lake Lady's Sword hanging on his waist.

After being adjusted by Lady Galadriel, it not only has a graceful and smooth arc, but the weight ball, handle, sword grid, and sword body all have the elegant, complex and beautiful carvings of the elves in the world of Alda. Long knife.

"If people want to become better, they must always set a goal and a benchmark, then imitate him and get close to him. Finally, he will become a better version of himself."

Stewart said in a calm voice.

"Maybe it's not what you think. I hope to become a demon hunter in order to make this body that has been damaged to the point of being unable to fully recover strong again. And then this idea affects other people."

"But others wish to become a witcher, mostly because you are one, my lord."

"So now." Lan En rubbed his face helplessly, "How far has things developed?"

Stewart and Lincoln looked at each other, and Lincoln took a step forward and whispered.

"Do you still remember the alchemical formulas you left behind to assist the demon hunters in fighting? Alchemy bombs and sword oil."

"I, uh don't. them."

Lan En raised his eyes and glanced at Lincoln, and then the young man's voice changed immediately.

"They've learned a lot."

As he spoke, Lincoln held back a small bag hanging on his waist. Of course, he knew that this behavior would not stop Lan En from observing, so he had an awkward, small smile on his face.

Lan En's nose twitched slightly. He didn't feel anything just now, but now he smelled it.

"Bear fat, flea wormwood, and lotus root are [enhanced corpse-eating bio-oils]."

Lan En narrowed his eyes and looked at Lincoln in front of him.

"You boy!"

But after watching for a while, Lincoln still looked cautious and embarrassed, but he did not back down under Lan En's gaze.

This is what Lan En said before: the Ember Knights respect him and obey him, but still maintain a high degree of subjective initiative.

"Huh~ Forget it."

Finally, Lan sighed.

"I understand your expectations of becoming a demon hunter. But until I have a way to improve the grass trial formula, I will not let you come into contact with those things."

"I don't want to see that there are only a dozen people left here when I come back, do you understand?"

"Of course, sir!"*2

Now Stewart and Lincoln shouted back.

Lan En waved his hand. The bigger reason for this was that he still couldn't let go of Stewart's body, which was closer to a cripple than before.

It was a body executed and crippled before him.

For the sake of the overall situation, Lan En failed to save him and his father together. This made Lan En feel somewhat regretful and indebted.

"Okay, I've made up the account. It's time for me to leave. I still have things to do."

Without even sitting on a chair, Lan En was ready to leave after taking care of the knights' affairs.

But Lincoln blinked after listening to Lan En's statement.

"Sir." The secretary of the Knights scratched his head, "When you say 'there are still things to be done', do you mean Elland's side?"

"Huh?" The demon hunter raised his head in surprise and looked at Lincoln.

How could he know such a thing? Regarding the safety of the Pontal Valley, even letting the market know about this kind of thing is enough to cause huge economic shock and panic.

Neither Foltest nor Demavi of Aedirn could let the news leak out casually.

But on second thought, it became clear.

Since these are the only people qualified to reveal the news, they must have informed the Ember Knights stationed here.

"Foltest's messenger has been here too?"

"Yes, sir." Stewart would uncontrollably pull the iron chin on his mandible as he spoke, "Just to be cautious, the messenger only delivered the message to me and Lincoln after confirming the command of the Knights."

"King Foltest briefed us on the situation and said that you would probably be involved in this matter." Lincoln added on the side. "But the decision-making power of whether the Knights should dispatch lies with us, that is, your will."

"Of course, we all hope that you will use our power in this unexplained trouble."

"It has been a long time since we fought together, my lord. Although our loyalty is unquestionable."

Stewart also took a step forward, looking at Lan En with eyes as calm as an ice lake.

"But we all hope to experience this glory again. Furthermore, the location of the Pontal Valley involved this time is too important. It is estimated that there will be powerful nobles there."

"Even for status and respectability reasons, you need someone to follow you."

Lan En looked around at Lincoln and Stewart, who looked insistent but still ready to obey orders.

"You all came out of the swords and guns of Soden Mountain with me. If you want to fight with me again, of course I agree."

Lan En also relaxed.

"But the number of people cannot be too large. I will only bring ten people, otherwise it will slow down the journey. You two are responsible for picking people out, that's it."

After the final order was issued, Lincoln and Stuart looked at each other, saluted to Lan, left the room, went outside to announce to the Knights, and executed the order.

Lan thought that picking ten people out should be a matter of calling the roll.

So he simply sat on the special big chair and began to look through the accounts of the Knights during this period of time.

The account issues were handed over to Mentos for review and were quickly completed. Basically, they were integrated synchronously while looking through them.

But in the courtyard outside the main body of the castle, there was originally only neat training sounds, and then Lincoln and Stuart went out to read the order.

It almost instantly turned into a loud shout.

The Embers Knights are usually well-organized. Every member is of noble origin, abides by rules and etiquette, and was perfectly integrated by Lan in the last war.

But when the quota to travel side by side with Lan again, or even fight side by side, was released, this knight group that didn't even make much noise in the past.

Suddenly, like the embers that were about to go out and without any waves, suddenly ignited a burst of flames!

Lan had just finished checking the accounts in a chair, which took less than two minutes with his efficiency.

In the castle courtyard outside, there was a sudden explosion of swords and swords!

Lan was stunned for a moment, and so was the fluff ball. The demon hunter and the cat looked at each other at the same time on two chairs, one large and one small, and the two pairs of cat eyes looked at each other.

".Fuck!"

Then Lan blurted out as if he suddenly realized something.

He knew too well what was going on at the moment -

I asked you to pick someone out, but you are here for an honor duel! ?

Ten honorary swordsmen were selected on the spot, right!

Lan stood up from the big chair, and the fluff ball jumped on the small chair and climbed onto his shoulder.

He walked to the window and saw it was true!

"Meow!"

The fluffy ball lying on Lan's shoulder and looking down twisted its body excitedly, and its elongated body looked like a cat and a bug.

Although it looks cute, it is actually a war maniac who likes to immerse itself in battles and the intersection of blades.

For example, now, it cheered when it looked at the scene below.

In order to obtain or compete for the honor of being able to walk with Lan again and fight together, the Embers Knights, who were already as close as brothers, began an internal competition.

Except for Stuart, who announced with a cold face that he would not join because of his physical condition, "in order not to delay the adults' itinerary".

The moment the news was announced, all the knights' originally rational and calm eyes suddenly covered with a layer of fanatical fighting spirit like a raging fire!

Without more words, everyone separated with a slight collision of armor.

While scanning everyone except himself with a sharp gaze, he took off the elf-style long sword hanging on his belt, went to the edge of the training ground, and replaced it with an unsharpened training knife.

They also took off the armor they had been wearing, leaving only the silk shirt inside.

The competition was purely based on martial arts.

Even an unsharpened training knife would be too hard on a body without armor.

But letting the blade rub against the body and feeling the hair standing on end at the moment was their goal.

With the Embers Knights' superb organizational ability that even surpassed the times, they completed a series of simple rules such as grouping and competition system in just half a minute.

Everyone held their swords against each other in the open space they found, with joy and happy smiles on their faces.

Half a minute later, there was a "clang" sound of metal collision!

The prelude to the competition was opened, and then the sound of dense swords hitting each other became one, which led Lan En from his seat to the window.

In the battle without armor, the danger level and technical requirements increased sharply, but the entanglement time decreased sharply.

Because a slight mistake would result in failure and exit.

In this high hill fortress that Foltest had assigned to the Embers, there were twice as many grooms, cooks, and servants as the number of knights.

These human resources, also assigned by Foltest, actually thought they were very familiar with the style of the Embers in the past two years of getting along.

This knight group was significantly different from other knight groups they had come into contact with.

They had seen knight groups that were all descendants of nobles, not to mention knight groups that also had civilian warriors.

But none of those knight groups had such a self-restrained atmosphere as the Embers.

Each of them seemed to pursue keeping themselves calm, rational, and elegant at all times.

While being strict with themselves, they would even do engineering chores such as repairing roads and bridges.

Compared with those arrogant knight groups, these chores always felt that the Embers were simply perfect and abnormal.

But when a series of blade clashes sounded, these servants hurriedly and helplessly looked out from their work to see what was going on, only to find that they actually didn't know the other side of the Knights.

Violence, ferocity, fearlessness, enthusiasm.

At the moment when the blades intersected, these people fought an honor duel for the honor of "fighting with Lann".

Only then did they show their greatest characteristic as one of the top knight orders in the world today—absolute force!
