Chapter 68: One through five (5K+)
Honor Duel, as the name suggests, is a person's defense of his own honor.
He can challenge an opponent to a duel only if he feels offended or insulted. Of course, this kind of duel requires a well-known master. You can't just pick someone up on the street and start a duel.
If two families have a feud, a duel is more likely to solve the problem than killing each other. Under the supervision of the public, the two sides did not use conspiracy and tricks, and decided to fight to resolve all problems.
Now Baron Lando had been rude to Lomo many times on such an important day, and many people had seen it.
And it is well known that the noble relatives of Baron Nora did have a grudge against Lomo because of the death of Baron Nora in Shaker Town.
Therefore, Lomo's proposal of honor duel is justified, legitimate and compliant, and should be recognized by the God of the Wilderness. Once a duel occurs, life or death depends on God's will and does not violate the law.
All of a sudden, everyone turned their attention to Baron Lando and the others.
These people looked at Luo Mo and the magic weapon in his hand, and they were all panicked for a moment.
If you accept a duel, you will lose your life; if you admit defeat directly, you will lose face.
Sometimes, in aristocratic circles, losing face is worse than losing one's life. After all, they still have families, and their families and descendants will have to join the aristocratic circle in the future.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Lord Viscount Alex has arrived."
Everyone turned their attention to the entrance of the school ground. Most of the knights on the school ground were subordinates of Viscount Alex, and they also arrived at the entrance of the school ground. meet.
Viscount Alex waved to everyone and strolled into the school grounds. As soon as he came in, he saw Romo confronting Baron Nora and others.
He frowned slightly, and just as he was about to intervene, a servant suddenly came forward and whispered: "Sardin initiated the duel." At
this time, Viscount Alex also discovered that it was Romo holding a sword in front of everyone. , and Harrington seemed not to be among the crowd.
Since it was Romo who initiated it, Viscount Alex immediately relaxed and walked towards the high platform in the center of the school ground.
Baron Lando saw Viscount Alex as if he was seeing a savior. He quickly walked over and said, "Sir, today is a good day for your reserve battalion to appoint the knight captain. Several of us nobles came to watch the ceremony with good intentions, but we were ignored by your subordinates." Please stop Sardin and force a duel. This behavior is too willful and will delay your ceremony of appointing a knight. Please stop it. Let this Lord Sardin stop messing around." Viscount Alex's
face With an indifferent expression, he shook his head slightly and said: "Honorary duels are not nonsense. This is a major matter related to your honor. It is inconvenient for me to interfere. As for the appointment ceremony, you can wait until your duel is over. Don't worry about this, Baron Nora. ."
"Lord Viscount, this..."
"No need to say anything." Viscount Alex waved his hand and said: "You deal with your matters first, I will go to the stage and wait for a while."
Baron Lando saw Viscount Alex leaving, and he was very worried. He scratched his head helplessly. This bastard clearly wanted to stand by and watch.
"Why, Baron Lando, don't you dare to challenge?" Luo Mo said coldly.
At this time, more and more people had gathered, and most of them were watching this farce with expressions of gloating.
Some people were very concerned about Saldin, including Ian and Pei Bona, who were looking at the upcoming duel with some curiosity.
They really wanted to see what the youngest French knight in the Woro Valley was really capable of.
Baron Lando and the nobles of the Nola family gathered together and discussed softly.
"This damn Sardin is too cruel to bully others. Why don't we fight him!" A nobleman said bitterly.
"No matter how hard you try, I suspect that he killed Harrington and Mrs. Nora. Even if we go together, we won't be able to feed his sword." Another person said disapprovingly.
"What should we do?"
"How about giving up?" one person suggested.
When everyone heard this, their faces turned red.
In full view of the public, the five men on our side collectively knelt down to Saldin and admitted defeat. This was even more uncomfortable than killing them.
But even though it was uncomfortable, at least I could still survive.
Everyone thought about it and felt very depressed.
He was enjoying a drink with a woman in his arms comfortably at home, but suddenly he was inexplicably bewitched by Mrs. Nora and insisted on having trouble with Saldin. At this moment, there was only regret in their hearts.
When they thought that there were fine wines and sexy and passionate women waiting for them in the territory, their desire to survive became even stronger.
Together they looked at Baron Lando. He is the person with the highest status among several people.
As long as he is willing to be humiliated, others think it is not impossible.
Anyway, when others discuss it in the future, it will definitely be led by Baron Lando.
Baron Lando's face was full of uncertainty, and he was obviously deeply entangled.
Several people were hesitating when they suddenly saw Luo Mo's body swaying not far away, and he seemed a little unsteady on his feet. He then covered his mouth and began to cough violently.
Baron Lando and others saw blood flowing out of the corner of Romo's mouth, and then he quickly wiped it away, pretending that nothing happened.
"This little bastard, seems to be injured?" Everyone suddenly felt happy.
Speaking of which, it does not seem impossible that Lomo was injured. After all, Harrington is considered a first-level magician. Even if Luo Mo can defeat him, it is absolutely impossible to escape intact!
Do you really think that a first-level magician is just for a living?
Thinking of this, everyone immediately became excited again.
Some people even thought that this Romo could clearly challenge the five of them in a one-on-one duel.
Now it seems that he was obviously afraid that his injuries would be exposed during a one-on-one challenge, so he simply challenged five people directly to scare them away.
This bastard Saldin turned out to be fighting psychological warfare!
What he was betting on was that if the five people on his side were shocked by his momentum and did not dare to challenge, then he would be able to win without a fight. In fact, it's just pretentious.
What a good boy, he is indeed a sinister and vicious little bastard.
After everyone figured this out, they looked at each other with eager expressions.
Baron Lando rekindled hope and fighting spirit.
He himself is a third-level knight, and these other nobles are all at least second-level knights.
Could it be that five people combined couldn't defeat an injured Saldin?
After thinking for a long time, Baron Lando finally shouted loudly: "You guys, do you dare to come with me?"
Everyone immediately nodded and said: "Kill him while he is injured!"
Several people had made up their minds and immediately came together. In front of Lomo.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were attracted.
Seeing that the war was about to break out, many people were excited and their hands were sweating.
在来之前，没有人能想到，一个简单的就任仪式竟然这么刺激，这么好玩。
‘仓啷’几声轻响，五个人都拔出了手中长剑。
不远处的高台上，亚力士子爵微眯着眼睛，静静的看着眼前这场好戏。
他的目光中多了几分期许，想看看洛莫到底能强到何种地步。
人群中围观的伊恩和裴博娜也是极为关注，眼睛一眨也不眨一下。
他们当然盼望洛莫能够旗开得胜，毕竟是自己的贸易伙伴。
不过，方才他们都是看戏的心态，此刻却隐隐有些担忧。
方才洛莫嘴中流血他们也看得真切，这样一副状态，还要一个人挑战五个人，他们总觉得洛莫有点托大了。
面对这五个人摆开的阵势，洛莫倒显得有些气定神闲。
他微笑道：“一起上吧！”
五个人总感觉洛莫的笑容中带着一些诡计得逞的喜悦感，但他们此时已经骑虎难下了。
只听得兰多男爵大吼一声：“大家伙一起上啊！”
说着，他手持镔铁重剑，第一个向洛莫狠狠砸了下去。其他人也是纷纷出手，分袭洛莫几个不同的方位。
面对众人的出击，洛莫不闪不避，只将剑往前一指。
‘冰霜冲击！’
青霜剑亮起一阵微光，顿时一股凛冽的狂风刮起，直冲五人而去。
一时间，大校场狂风呼啸，连围观的人群都感觉到一股强烈的寒风扑面。
只是狂风倒还罢了，关键是，寒风中还夹杂着锋利的冰凌。
“见鬼，冰碴子怎么刮到我的脸上了！”有些离得比较近的人捂着脸，仓皇向后逃跑。
不远处围观的人也都不由自主往后退了一步，那些力量弱小者，此时慌忙下蹲，靠前面的人墙来抵御寒风带来的威压。
而兰多男爵站在冲击波的正前方，只觉得一股大力袭至，他的身体不由自主的飞了起来。
他身后一名贵族刚拔出剑，还未来得及上前，就被倒飞过来的兰多男爵撞了个满怀。
‘砰’的一声，那名贵族被撞得胸口凹陷，两个人抱着一起飞了出去，然后重重摔在地上。
兰多男爵的脸上和胸口被划出一道道血淋淋的口子，眼睛被一块坚冰所伤，鲜血长流。
剩下的三名骑士被狂风给擦中，也是不由自主的往后直退。
他们看到兰多男爵的满脸是血的惨样，大喝一声，立刻转身，以极快的速度想要冲入人群逃跑。
萨尔丁实在是太可怕了，重伤之下竟能发出如此强力的招式？
不对！他根本没有受伤，这个诡计多端的混蛋！他是装的，目的就是引我们上钩！
三个人顿时反应了过来，第一时间想要逃跑。
但是已经来不及了，只见洛莫高高举起长剑，轻轻念动咒语，发动水幕之术。
下一刻，三个人看到眼前突然凭空出现了一层水幕，他们慌忙转身，却发现身后也都是水幕拦路。
其中一个人猛然劈在水墙上，但却没有打开任何缺口。
“一群乌合之众。”洛莫心中莫名有些失望。这群不求上进的贵族似乎还不如自己庄园里的那些骑士。
他将手一挥，那些水幕顿时凝结出一根根的冰刺，不断的射入三人的身体之中。
伴随着凄厉的惨叫声，一层血雾在水幕中升腾而起，空气中弥漫的都是血腥的气味。
众人看到眼前这个景象，再次退了一步，一时间都惊呆了。
想不到水元素系的法骑士，竟有如此的攻击力。
一会儿的功夫，水幕终于消失。三个人软软的倒在地上，每个人的身上都如同被千钉攒刺一般，血淋淋的，浑身上下没有一处好肉。
不远处的高台，乔布站在父亲的身旁，对亚力士子爵轻声道：“父亲，萨尔丁领主的实力没有让您失望吧？”
亚力士子爵目视前方，轻声说道：“当日老师不断向我说起萨尔丁的好处，我还以为他有些言过其实。现在看来，老师虽然年纪大了，眼光依然还是这么毒辣。这个年轻人果然是未来可期。”
说到这里，他瞥了一眼乔布，轻轻叹口气道：“你要是有这个成就就好了。”
乔布顿时尴尬的低头，心想明明说的是萨尔丁，怎么突然就转到了自己的头上。
此时的大校场上，众人也都是震惊无比，看向洛莫的眼神中，多了一丝敬畏的神色。
水元素系的魔法，原本都是以控制见长，杀伤力其实十分有限。
但是今天这场战斗刷新了他们的认知。原来水系魔法修炼到高深处，也可以拥有如此干净利落的攻击手段。
特别是最后一招将人用水墙围起来的技能。施法技能如此之远，而且还有一定的控制作用。
众人以己度之，如果把自己换到同样的位置中，恐怕也无法躲避这个技能。
必须四阶以上的骑士，才有足够的速度逃出这圈水墙的笼罩范围。
最关键的是，这样厉害的技能，洛莫竟然同时施展了三次。
此时，场上五人已有四个人倒地身亡。三个死于水幕术，另一个是被兰多男爵给砸死的。
唯一剩下的兰多男爵毕竟是个三阶骑士，他虽然被冰霜冲击击中，但是并没有直接暴毙。
只是身体有多处伤口，并且瞎了一只眼睛。
他缓缓站起身，眼睛直勾勾的盯着洛莫，脸上肌肉来回颤动，显然是极为痛苦。
“你倒有点实力。”洛莫冷冷开口道。
兰多男爵手持长剑，吐出一口血沫，然后拖着已被重创的身躯，慢慢向洛莫靠近。
众人看到兰多竟然还敢上前，一时有些佩服他的勇气。
只见他走到洛莫的面前，突然身子一软，半跪在地上。
“我认输！”兰多男爵以剑撑地，将头一低，瓮声说道：“从此不再与你为敌，不管身在何处，看到你来我一定绕着走。”
说完这句话，他立刻挣扎着起身，便要往校场外走去。
“慢着。”洛莫冷冷喝道。
兰多男爵的身子一颤，想走又不敢走，只好尴尬的站在原地。
“你好像有点不服气？”洛莫笑道。
“我服气”兰多男爵垂头丧脑道。
Lomo walked up to him and stared into his eyes.
Baron Lando and Romo looked at each other, and his eyes finally showed a look of fear. He lowered his head and said, "Lord Saldin, I am really convinced." "Then you can go."
Romo said softly.
Baron Lando was dejected, not even daring to raise his head, and immediately ran away in despair.
He had just read the strong murderous intent in Luo Mo's eyes. This murderous intent made him feel that it was impossible for Luo Mo to let him go.
But at the moment, he only thinks about escaping, and he can't care about so much anymore.
For a moment, the school grounds were filled with boos. They did not expect that Baron Lando could give up and admit defeat in the middle of the duel.
His teammates were all dead, but he surrendered. This is even more contemptible than surrendering in the first place.
Ian walked up to Romo and said softly: "Lord Saldin, according to the rules of duel, since Baron Lando agreed to the duel, he cannot give up midway. You can directly take his life." Romo looked at
Lando The back of the Baron leaving, thinking of the Lando Pier controlled by Baron Lando, smiled slightly and said: "I can easily take his life, I just keep it for him to use. Living people are sometimes more useful than dead people." Ian
saw Luo Mo had other plans. Although he was confused, he didn't say anything else.
Seeing that Lomo won so brilliantly, everyone immediately started talking, and no one cared about the subsequent inauguration ceremony.
The so-called inauguration ceremony is equivalent to an enlistment ceremony. Romo, Pebona and others must first swear allegiance to King Carlos III, and then swear loyalty to the kingdom, the army and their superiors. Finally, Viscount Alex personally awarded them uniforms and badges.
The subordinates brought by the new knight captain also have to undergo an enlistment ceremony collectively.
During the entire process of taking office, everyone has been discussing the duel incident that just happened.
You must know that a considerable number of the nobles who were killed by Romo just lived in Volo City. Now, they have become the laughing stock of the whole town.
Some people are very curious. These people have no interest in the reserve camp and there is no need to come here in the first place.
Why do they come here so eagerly to seek death?
A small number of people who heard the news were secretly wondering. It was promised that Mrs. Nora would invite experts to come over today to do something about it. Why is there still no sign of her?
In any case, Baron Lando suffered a big loss at the hands of Lomo today. Now everyone has a new appreciation for Lomo.
Although Lomo looks young, no one thinks of him as a young boy anymore. Some nobles were wondering whether they needed to win over this emerging lord of the Woro Valley.
The ceremony ended successfully in a step-by-step process, and Viscount Alex retained all the new and old captains of the reserve battalion. It's like a big gathering of the preparation camp.
The current reserve battalion has a total of 15 captains and a total of 1,025 knights. In addition to the knights, there were also a considerable number of militia, laborers and support personnel. Counting these, the total number of people is no less than 8,000.
Lomo's seventh detachment is one of the very small detachments.
However, although Luo Mo does not have many soldiers, he is a rare first-level magic knight.
Apart from Viscount Alex, there were only four official magicians in the entire reserve camp, including Romo.
Among them is a first-level mage who practices wind element magic. His name is James Carr. He seemed to be around thirty years old. He had retired from the northern battlefield and was taken to the reserve camp by Viscount Alex.
The other two magic knights, one practices earth element magic, and the other practices sacred magic. Both of them are around forty years old and are native nobles of the Volo Valley.
Romo admired Baron Rudolf Baker who practiced sacred magic.
Holy magic is very rare in the Kingdom of Clay.
Because practicing sacred magic requires devout faith in the holy light. The entire Clay Kingdom does not allow the existence of the church, and it is not known how Rudolf Baker practices.
Austin Hamilton, who practices earth element magic, is a tall and thick man, with a pair of green bean-like eyes on his huge face and a beard that almost covers his entire cheek.
He patted Romo's shoulder with his rough big hand, stretched out his thumb and said: "Captain Saldin, to be honest, I looked down upon you just now when I saw you were so young. I didn't expect that you actually gave me It was a big surprise for me. When I was young, I didn’t have such strength as you."
Luo Mo quickly declined when he heard the compliment. These people may be his comrades in the future, so he behaves very friendly and approachable.
Pei Bona on the side stepped forward and said, "Austin, Lord Saldin's abilities are not limited to this. He is also a genius alchemist!" "
Oh?" Austin Hamilton's expression changed and he looked at it again. This young man was even more impressed for a moment.
Then he didn't quite believe it. How could someone so young be able to practice both magic and alchemy?
