Edge of the Apocalypse -
Chapter 776: Men's War (3)
Only when Alan stood on the field did he know that so many people were here to watch the battle. He immediately shook his head. He thought to himself, "It's just a private matter between two people. Why did it attract so many people's attention?" He glanced around and saw that the largest number of soldiers were naturally Fierce Vulture's soldiers. Apart from that, there were also quite a few key officials and envoys from Adahua Planet. Together, these two groups of people actually occupied a small portion of the venue.
He saw Catherine in the crowd. The latter raised his hand and made a "win" gesture to him. Seeing Catherine's serious face, Alan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
At this moment, the crowd let out a low shout. Alan turned around and Link walked into the arena. The man had already taken off his coat and was only wearing a battle suit, but he didn't have any armor on him. He walked straight to Alan and looked him in the eye.
Alan frowned and said, "You'd better put on your armor."
"Sorry to trouble you." Link seemed to have regained his calm, and his voice was calm and steady. He held a blunt sword in both hands and pointed his two swords at the ground. "Armor is indispensable to me. If I get attacked by an opponent, it doesn't make much difference to me whether I have armor or not."
Alan thought for a moment and said, "It seems that your swordsmanship is unique. Alright, whatever you want. You must be careful."
Link was slightly surprised, "You're not useless in associating my swordsmanship with it so quickly. But I still don't think you're strong enough to protect His Highness."
Alan smiled and raised his saber. "You can be sure that you have the ability to protect Lucy."
"I'd be happy to."
From the grandstand, a voice said, "Speaking of which, I've heard of Duke Lei Beth's sword skill, 'Stars', which seems to be both offensive and defensive. But hasn't the Duke always used his one-handed sword, 'Disillusionment Galaxy'? Why does his young master use two swords? Marquis Metallon, you're the master of using two blades, right? Could it be that Link still has learned from you?"
"
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties. His sharp ears were the most obvious sign of Adahua Planet. The man looked thin, but his eyes were sharp. There was a faint gentle smile on his face, but his tone was far less gentle than his smile. On the contrary, he had a vague imposing aura.
Meta turned her head and smiled, "Mr. Mira's imagination is really rich. That's right, Archduke Reyes's swordsmanship does require only one hand to perform the full power of the Star Transformations, and I, the old man, am used to using two swords. But Link is not my student. From the start, only His Highness Lucy has been my student."
"The reason why Link used his two swords was because he was a smart little fellow, but at the same time, he was also a person with limited talent." Metalon sighed and said, "Archduke Lei Beth's family is a long-term leader. There are many experts in his family and he is as capable as the clouds. Although he is the son of the Archduke, Link is definitely not the best. On the contrary, the Archduke judged his potential as a'middleman 'as soon as he was born."
"Right now, level 24 is almost the limit of his potential. If he went further, he would have to expend ten or a hundred times as much effort, and he might not be able to do so. Perhaps knowing that his potential was limited, Link worked very hard to catch up with his brothers, targeting those who had been called geniuses since childhood. You may not understand, but Link's demands on you can be described as cruel. "
Metalon narrowed his eyes and said, "Duke Lei Beth's family's sword skill, 'Fan Xing', has always been executed with a single-handed sword." Link was limited by his innate talent and was unable to use his one-handed sword to display the essence of the stars. However, he had a different path, separating the attacks and defenses of the Star Sword Skill and using them in pairs. This thought, however, was not the path that the predecessors had never thought of. "It's just that breaking the originally seamless sword skill into two halves and using the dual sword technique to restore the original power of the sword skill is ten times more difficult than using a single-handed sword."
"That is to say, knowing is easier said than done." Mira smiled and said, "Looks like Archduke Rebez's son has chosen an extremely difficult path for himself."
'"Indeed, and his path in martial arts has already come to an end. Otherwise, with his status as the Grand Duke of Rebez, why would he only allow Link to enter the Justice Department and serve as a civilian sheriff?" "He was a hard-working child who, realising that he could not give back to his family by force, went into politics and persuaded Archduke Rebez to support His Majesty in order to qualify as Her Highness the Daughter-in-law, hoping to bring his relationship with the royal family closer to return the favor to the family at another level," Metallon said.
"No wonder he is so tight-lipped with His Highness. Otherwise, His Majesty has many children and Her Highness is not the only empress of the right age. But Her Highness is the only qualified person for the Golden Rose. If he can take her as his wife, Link will definitely be worth twice as much."
"That 's for sure, but it' s not Link 's only thought of marry His Highness. The two of them had known each other since childhood. His Highness Lucy had lost her mother at an early age, and His Majesty was afraid of recalling her dead wife, so he deliberately alienated His Highness, who was very similar to her mother. Link felt a sense of sympathy in his eyes. His thoughts were probably buried when he was young. Unfortunately, His Highness does not have any feelings for him … "
"That's why." Mira suddenly said, "I didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns in this."
Looking at the scene, Allen and the other two had already separated, putting on a posture that looked like they were about to start. Mira remained silent and focused on the field. Metallon looked at the door on the other side of the field, where Lucy was leaning against it. However, her gaze landed on Alan, only occasionally sweeping towards Link, but only sweeping away. Metalon sighed in his heart, fearing that Link's efforts would be in vain.
As long as Lucy's heart was on Alan, Link would have lost the duel at the end of the day.
"Let's begin." Link said.
Alan nodded.
Then, the two of them rushed out at the same time.
Allen took small steps, attacking slowly. His movements were complicated and difficult to measure. This footwork was secretly learned from Catherine. That day, when Catherine chased after him, this footwork alone made him completely disadvantaged, giving him the smell of defeating a soldier without a fight. If Link tried to guess Alan's movements and try to figure out what he was doing, he would fall into a disadvantageous position and be led by Alan's nose.
Seeing Alan use his footwork, Catherine smiled with a hint of pride. However, Link ignored Allen's complicated footwork and stabbed at him with his sword. Although he hadn't activated his Origin Energy, the clashing sword intent carried with it a killing aura from the Golden Gorge Iron Horse, and no one dared to underestimate it. Catherine knew that this attorney general was not the kind of rookie who only knew how to practice swordsmanship and never went to the battlefield!
