Chapter 188 Provocation
For a moment, the originally tense scene suddenly became much quieter. The soldiers held weapons in their hands, but did not launch another attack. They just looked at the man standing in front of them with nervous eyes, hoping that he would give an order.
You can let yourself carry out the order. However, the other party obviously didn't care about what these soldiers thought. On the contrary, he stared at Zhan with a gloomy look on his face for a moment, then he took a long breath, and then asked
.
"What's going on?"
But in the face of the other party's inquiry, Zhan did not answer. On the contrary, he gestured to Patilina beside him. After seeing Zhan's gesture, Patilina nodded, and then
Ben turned around and left. Not long after, a family knight came to Zhan. He first saluted in the direction of the carriage, then turned around and bowed respectfully to Zhan.
"Are you looking for me, my lord?"
"I want you to tell us here, in public, the unreasonable treatment we have encountered before."
Zhan didn't even glance at the soldiers who were gathering around him and others. Instead, he stared at the family knight in front of him and said. After hearing his order, the family knight also nodded hurriedly, and then he
Immediately began to report everything to Zhan.
"Okay, sir. Here's the thing. When we led the convoy to the gate of Solid Rock City, according to the regulations, we handed over the family documents and informed us of our origins. But the other party did not open the gate to welcome us.
We entered the city, on the contrary. He told us that because the Harvest Festival was coming soon, in order to ensure the safety of Solid Stone City, they had to conduct interrogations on all convoys entering Solid Stone City. So he asked us to return the way we came and wait in line at the back."
Hearing this, the expressions of the soldiers also changed. Although they were not soldiers guarding the city gate, they could tell that this was definitely not in compliance with the procedures. According to the regulations, since the other party had submitted the documents, and no violation of the regulations was found,
, then the city gate should be opened and the other party should be welcomed into the city. This is the most basic etiquette for a noble. But now, the other party submitted the documents and reported the origin in accordance with the regulations, but was turned away?
Thinking of this, the soldiers couldn't help but look strangely at their colleagues.
Are these guys drinking too much?
"Did you bring a flag with you when you submitted the documents?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.
"Of course, my lord. The flags of the Parwood family and the Bashanonmens family are behind us."
"very good."
Hearing this, Zhan En nodded with satisfaction, and then he waved for the other party to step back. Then he turned around, staring at the people in front of him with cold eyes that were almost blood-curdling. And he felt his
Looking at each other, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. The man at the head was even more distressed. He gritted his teeth and was about to say something. Zhan En smiled coldly and then spoke again.
"Now that you have heard it, everyone, do you have anything else to say? We reported our identities according to etiquette. But what happened? What we got in return was insult and contempt for our family. This is very difficult for me and my family.
, is an intolerable atrocity…………”
"You. What do you want?"
Hearing Zhan En's words, the man swallowed his saliva and stammered. Although he was a person who could speak well in Solid Stone City, what happened this time was really too bad. If Zhan En
If what is said is true, then Solid Stone City's actions are not just rude, but can even be called stupid. If this matter spreads, Solid Stone City's reputation among the nobles will be completely destroyed.
Facing the man's question, Zhan En just glanced at him and then answered.
"It's very simple... Since you have so little regard for the honor of a noble, you must pay the price. I ask Lord Sulet to come here in person and publicly explain to me everything that happened in his territory.
I must apologize. And you must promise me that the same thing will not happen again in the future, and those untouchables who dare to offend the honor of my family will also be executed."
"this……………"
Hearing this, the man suddenly showed a troubled expression. Of course he heard the subtext of the other party's words. He wanted the lord to apologize to him in public!? Gods above, how is this possible? The Sulet family rules
Solid Stone City has been around for nearly a hundred years. If the current city lord wants to apologize to a foreign nobleman under the watchful eyes of his subjects, then the face of the Sulet family will be completely ruined!
As for the guards Zhan asked to be executed later, the man didn't care. It was common for the people below to suffer in conflicts between nobles, but he didn't know why these gate guards were so courageous and dared to attack a person.
The nobles behaved like this. You must know that being disrespectful to the nobles will cause you to lose your head. Could it be that they were all drunk? Is this possible?
But now, he also knew that this was not a problem that he could solve. Just when the man was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, a low, serious, and thick voice came from the crowd.
"It's really ridiculous. A foreign noble wants to convict a lord based on just one word. Don't you think this is really ridiculous?" Wuyou Novel Network does not skip words.
With the sound of this voice, the soldiers immediately separated like a tide, and then a strong man wearing a gray fox fur coat strode out of the crowd. He looked about forty years old.
, has a pointed and thin face, a well-groomed goatee on his chin, and thick long brown hair parted in the middle, setting off a somewhat gloomy face. Zhan certainly did not let go under the fox fur coat.
The brilliance of the shining silver armor, and the long sword hanging on his waist that exuded magical light.
"My lord Sterk!!"
Seeing his arrival, the soldiers, including the man before him, immediately lowered their heads respectfully to show respect and greetings to him. No further introduction is needed, just look at the symbol of spread golden wings embroidered on his chest.
You know, the person who appears here at this moment is none other than Sterk, the leader of the Knights of Glory Wings.
While Zhan was sizing up the opponent, Sterk had already arrived in front of everyone. He pressed the hilt of the sword with his right hand. He raised his head and stared at Zhan with contempt.
"Although you are a decorated noble, you must also understand etiquette. Do you know that what you are doing now is to challenge the entire Skar Federation? The majesty of the Federation cannot be desecrated, let alone because of some petty behavior.
cast a shadow over the one-sided words of seniors. If you want to come here to cause trouble, then I have to tell you that you are looking for the wrong person. This is not a place for brats like you to show off their ferocity..."
"hehe."
However, before Sterk finished his words, he was interrupted by Zhan with a sneer. He crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes in a leisurely manner, staring at the man in front of him.
"A chained guard dog has no right to talk to me. I'm sorry, but I won't lower myself to deal with a dog. I advise you to go back and find your owner. In this way, we may still be able to talk to you.
Let’s have a good discussion about how to train pets. At least the watchdog should know not to grin at guests... isn’t it?” Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.
"presumptuous!!"
Hearing this, Sterk's face suddenly darkened, and unparalleled coldness mixed with sharp murderous aura suddenly burst out from his body. Then he shouted angrily, and the next moment he saw the leader of the Knights of Glory Wings.
Just like that, he drew out the long sword from his waist and swept towards Zhan En.
The next moment, fire broke out.
The moment Sterk drew out the long sword, the flames under his feet suddenly rolled up and spread in all directions. The violent and roaring air flow rolled around the long sword as if being attracted, forming a formation visible to the naked eye.
Bright red color. I saw layers of burning flames surrounding Sterk, just like armor that was constantly burning and beating.
This is Sterk's ability and the reason why he is called the "Fire Sword Master". His swordsmanship has broken through the limits of the mortal world. He can even summon the flames of the elemental plane to burn everything. And
Sterk is obviously extremely angry now. He has never thought that a junior would dare to be so arrogant and arrogant in front of him. As a legendary sword master, he has never encountered such a thing! And now
, Sterk vowed that he would teach this bastard an unforgettable lesson!!
The long sword moved forward, and the flames roared out like a tornado, rushing towards Zhan's direction. Seeing that in the blink of an eye, the arrogant young man would completely fall under Sterk's flame demon.
It was completely turned into charcoal under the sword.
But in the face of the fierce flames coming from the shop, Zhan En not only did not flinch, but on the contrary, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a cold smile.
A bit of light emerged in the center of the flame, and in the blink of an eye it turned into clusters of cold light that spread around. The sea-blue light in Zhan En's hand quickly spread with a series of afterimages, forming layers of sword edges, as if
The sharp teeth tore through the flames and devoured it mercilessly. The next moment Zhan En moved forward, the sea blue light in his hand suddenly burst out with icy chill, and the white frost spread rapidly, and
The flames around Sterk collided.
Water and fire are always in opposition to each other. The light of the waves in Zhan's hand is the magic sword of water, and the flaming fang in Sterk's hand is the magic sword of fire. The full strength of both sides is immediately connected.
A cloud of suffocating water vapor erupted. The melted ice mist mixed with high temperature spread to the surroundings, and those soldiers who could not avoid it immediately screamed miserably as soon as they were touched by the mist, and they fell in pain.
Rolling on the ground, the naked parts of his body were blistered by the steam and became red and swollen. For a while, there were screams and wails everywhere, and the civilians were so frightened that they hurriedly moved away, fearing that someone would not
Be careful if you get involved, it could be troublesome.
But at the moment, neither Zhan nor Sterk is in the mood to care about the unlucky people who are involved. Zhan has Patilina behind him, so he is not worried about accidentally hurting one of his own. He is the only one in sight.
He stepped forward with an arrow, and then swung the long sword forward in his hand. The next moment, a condensed silver-white thread shot out along the edge of the sword, sweeping towards Sterk.
This is... the legendary sword intention!
Sterk was also shocked when he saw the silver-white thread that seemed to be sweeping towards him slowly. He had also guessed that this young man was definitely not weak, but he did not expect that the other party had already reached the legendary realm.
——By the gods, this young man is probably not even twenty years old!!
However, as a sword master, Sterk was surprised in his heart, but the sword in his hand did not stop. He raised the sword high, and the blazing flames burning on it also reached the top at this moment. For a moment, Sterk was behind him.
The flames shone brightly red, and you could even vaguely see scenes that didn't seem to belong to this world. Then Sterk roared angrily, and the sword in his hand slashed down mercilessly, followed by an explosion of flames.
The torrent just rolled and swept over the silver sword energy released by Zhan En.
"boom!!!"
A deafening explosion erupted at this moment, and even the earth trembled. The two lines of silver and flame spread out with a "crash", sweeping around like blades. The houses nearby could not withstand such a pure explosion.
Due to the fierce confrontation, many houses only lasted for a moment before collapsing with a "boom". Fortunately, the earth-shattering confrontation between the two sides had scared away many people before that, otherwise a large area would have been crushed to death.
But at this moment, Sterk saw a scene that he couldn't believe.
Zhan jumped forward, and the blazing flames rushed towards him quickly, but when they pounced on the young man, they lost their original strength like a breeze. Sterk could see the flames licking his neck.
, swallowing his hair, but all of this had no effect. The fire he released that could burn everything did not even ignite the young man's coat.
How is this possible? Sterk's flame is pure elemental fire. This is the power he used to split space with his own power and borrowed from the pure elemental plane. Even the mage's immune element spell is nothing more than
Being able to cut off the flames of the mortal world, there is no way to deal with his own elemental fire. How did this young man do it?!
But at this moment, Sterk no longer has time to think about this issue.
Because at the same time, the sea-blue light in Zhan's hand had already torn apart his flames with unparalleled power, and then brought a dazzling and straight sword light mark downwards.
With a scream, Sterk retreated in embarrassment, and the original burning flames disappeared at this moment. He gritted his teeth, stared at Zhan in front of him with a pale face, and covered his left hand tightly.
His right arm.
The part below the elbow of his right hand has been completely cut off by Zhan's sharp blade and has disappeared. (To be continued...)
