Imperial Crown

The battle has begun, but everyone's attention is not on the battle itself.

Raven knows that this is because everyone can see the direction of this game.

The current stage of the competition is no longer what everyone expected at the beginning. Not only did Raven not expect it, Anthony did not expect it, and Montreal would not expect it either.

The demands of each family are also changing accordingly.

Montreal confronted Anthony at the beginning because Anthony's intention was too obvious, which was to suppress the Fox family and hit Raven at the same time.

But now, after 8 rounds of competition, the reputation of the Fox family is gradually recovering, at least not inferior to before the re-examination of military merits. Anthony's original intention to suppress Fox can be said to have been aborted.

In this context, letting Gul'dan lose to Akori is the Fox family's surrender and goodwill to Anthony, who represents the royal power.

This is the wisest choice, everyone is happy, and there is no harm.

Not only Raven, but others are obviously aware of this. The atmosphere in the box is so harmonious for the first time, and they even chat.

"Come to think of it, I have been in Nord Province all my life and have hardly left." Montreal looked at Anthony: "Acorei is from Mantelide Province. If you can recruit him, the Marquis should also know something about the customs of the South, right?"

"When the late king was still alive, I did work for him and went to Mantelide once." Anthony said: "The climate there is indeed different from Nord Province. It rains for 8 months in December of a year. The jungle is dense and the mosquitoes are very annoying."

"Speaking of mosquitoes, there may be more in the south, but in terms of size, our Molinier is still bigger." Count Jonah said: "It's still better in Nord Province. The mosquitoes are only a little bit, and ours are as big as moths! Being bitten If you eat one, you won't be able to sleep well for half a month."

"Then you might as well stay with me for a while." Raven laughed: "Wait until late autumn, when there are no mosquitoes, then go back."

"I appreciate Baron Raven's kindness." Earl Jonah shook his head: "But there was a severe drought in the province in the middle of this year. This time I came here on my own accord. I still have to go back early to stabilize the situation, otherwise it will be no fun if there is any trouble."

"I have also heard about the affairs of Molinier Province." Earl Tyrone said: "It's not just your province. The Nord Province has not had as much rainfall this year as in previous years. The water level of the Monn River is much lower than before."

Just then, a scream sounded in the arena, attracting everyone's attention.

In the arena, there were blazing fires scattered around. Akori leaned on the wave blade giant sword and panted violently.

The shoulder armor of his golden armor had melted away, and even the cloth soft armor lining was burned out. A wound appeared on his collarbone, blood was flowing out, and there were blisters around the wound.

The life fighting spirit was activated, repairing the injury on his shoulder. Akori's face was as cold as iron: "Gul'dan...what do you mean?"

Before the game, he was told by Anthony not to hit too hard and not to embarrass the opponent, just treat it as a normal exercise.

Although he didn't like to let the opponent go in the battle, Akori was not a brainless reckless man after all, so he executed it well.

But he didn't expect that Gul'dan would actually come for real. If Akori hadn't reacted quickly, his neck would probably be broken in half now!

"In the competition, of course, strength is the key to victory." Gul'dan raised the rapier in his hand and pointed it at Akori: "If you don't want to fight, you can admit defeat now!"

The fighting spirit healed the scar on his shoulder. Akori raised his eyebrows, and a trace of anger rose from his heart.

"Winning by force... Very good! Then I will let you see what real power is!"

The dark green Dou Qi rose from his body, not in the shape of armor, but like a seed sprouting, Dou Qi branches and leaves entangled together, just a few seconds It seems to have evolved the life of a plant, and gradually condensed into a Dou Qi phantom behind him that is no different from himself!

Buzz——

Invisible ripples swept across, and Akori slowly floated into the air.

Ingra's voice was unprecedentedly excited: "Martial Soul! I actually saw the Martial Soul!"

"Is this the strength of a genius!?"

Viscount John in the stands shook his head and exclaimed:

"Amazing, really amazing!"

The Martial Soul is a special ability that can only be activated when a knight's Dou Qi, physical strength, and spirit are all at their most perfect. It is the only way to go from the third level to the fourth level!

It is very rare to become a third level at the age of 27, and it is even rarer to be able to awaken the Martial Soul at the same time as becoming a third level at the age of 27!

How many knights could not break through the fourth level in their entire lives, because although they accumulated their fighting spirit to the limit, they could not awaken their martial souls.

Viscount John, as a fourth-level knight, could also awaken his martial soul, but as his body weakened, he could no longer use this gift that symbolizes the spirit of chivalry!

The audience in the stands were extremely excited, shouting Akori's name fiercely. For most of them, it was the first time in their lives that someone showed their martial souls!

Powerful, majestic, and wild!

Gul'dan looked at this scene and suddenly smiled happily:

"Martial soul, is it amazing?!"

The pure blue flame fighting spirit suddenly erupted, gushing out from the gaps in his armor, entangled and entangled with each other, twisting and igniting the surrounding air, rising from his body like a soul leaving his body, and constructing a phantom made of flames behind him.

Guldan slowly rose into the air, his palms clenched, and the flames scattered in the venue fluttered and rose, gathering in his palms.

At this moment, he seemed to be the king of all flames!

"This is..." Ingra swallowed his saliva: "Guldan contestant... also showed his martial spirit!"

"It seems that today, we will have the most exciting battle since the competition!"

Anthony's face became gloomier than ever before. He looked at Montreal coldly and clenched his fists.

This is already a blatant provocation to his majesty!

Earl Tyrone looked at Montreal and found that he was still calm, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Guldan is already 35 years old this year. It is not surprising that he can master the martial spirit, but the question is, why does he show it here?

This is clearly a tit-for-tat with Anthony!

Raising the intensity of the battle to this level, regardless of victory or defeat, it will do more harm than good to the Fox family.

Montreal, what are you thinking about! ?

Just when everyone had their own thoughts, the battle started again!

The martial spirit is the manifestation of the knight's soul. When it awakens, it is the beginning of the knight's fighting style.

Gul'dan is extremely introverted and extreme. He doesn't care about anything and wants to trample everything under his feet.

So his offensive is swift and extreme. The rapier in his hand keeps swinging, and through the transformation of the martial spirit, it becomes a thorn-like flame blade, weaving a large blade net, covering Akori with overwhelming!

Wherever he passes, the air is distorted, and even the rising dust will melt and turn into star-like debris.

Akori is extremely wild, without the so-called dignity or reserve, but only the desire to survive and the ferocity to tear the opponent apart!

He holds the wave blade giant sword in his mouth and leans down. The martial spirit behind him flows and covers his body like armor, making him look like an extremely fierce wolf!

The fighting spirit surges, jumping and landing on the ground, turning into various beasts, tigers, leopards, bears, and wolves.

Although they were made of fighting spirit, they were like real entities. They splashed a lot of dust on the ground, and then ran wildly on all fours, howling and rushing forward, just like a beast tide erupting in the Miracle Mountains!

The two collided, and the beast tide turned into fighting spirit and collapsed, and the sword blade net gradually began to dim, just like a river bank washed by a flood, which could collapse at any time!

The balance of victory was tilting, and Gul'dan was obviously at a disadvantage.

Marquis Anthony breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Thomas at the first time. He didn't think this was a decision that Montreal could make. There must be the hand of the Church of Light!

But this time, he wronged Thomas.

Although Thomas also hoped that the two sides would fight to the death, the general trend could not be violated. Montreal was not an idiot and would not ignore the interests of the family because of his two words.

Until now, Thomas finally figured it out.

Montreal has never been a qualified politician. He is too emotional.

Although Montreal has always been modest, he has been smooth sailing all his life, but like Gul'dan, he has never taken anyone seriously.

Previously, he cooperated with Thomas and was willing to turn half of the Nord province into scorched earth in order to step on Talon.

The re-audit of military merits was undoubtedly a major blow to Montreal's self-esteem, so he turned to the Church of Light.

It was for this reason that he would ignore any political considerations in this competition and ask Gul'dan to do everything he could to vent his resentment and anger!

Raven's eyes kept wandering around the arena and the box. He really couldn't understand what was going on.

Finally, he set his eyes on Montreal.

At this time, Montreal was focusing his attention on the arena wholeheartedly. He clenched his hands, raised the corners of his mouth, bent his body, and had a hint of... fanaticism in his eyes?

A trace of astonishment rose from Raven's heart, followed by a strong sense of absurdity.

Could it be that Montreal would really make such a decision just for the sake of momentary pleasure?

But now, he could not find another answer.

"3..." Montreal's lips suddenly moved: "2..."

"1!"

As the countdown reached the end, the situation in the arena suddenly changed.

Seeing that he could hardly suppress the surging Douqi beasts, Gul'dan suddenly snapped his fingers, and a dark iron plate appeared in his hand. The plate was covered with complex patterns, and a dark red crystal was inlaid in the center.

Douqi was slightly infused into it, and the iron plate suddenly rose into the air. A trace of red cracks appeared on the surface, and a little scarlet light emanated from the iron plate. When the cracks spread to the dark red crystal, a dark red color as thick as clouds rose up, and then swept across!

Wherever he passed, the active green beasts wailed and shattered, and even the Douqi on Akori disappeared, as if it had never existed.

"This is!! Life Suppression Field!" Ingra shouted loudly: "Gul'dan used the Life Suppression Field, and Baron Akori's fighting spirit was completely suppressed!"

This sentence immediately attracted a heated discussion in the stands: "Life Suppression Field? What is that?"

"... A third-level enchanted item, its value is not less than that of a pseudo-third-level enchanted weapon."

"This is a treasure specially used to suppress enemy generals in war!"

In the box, Earl Tyrone's face was as dark as water, Earl Jonah looked at Montreal in surprise, and Marquis Anthony began to shake his legs anxiously.

Raven confirmed his previous guess more and more-if it weren't for the emotions, no one would use such a precious thing in the arena!

Indeed, Raven also equipped Eric with a second-level enchanted armor, but that was something that could be used forever, not this kind of consumables!

At this time, in the arena, Gul'dan rushed towards Akori with a sneer, his figure pulled up a flame shadow in the air, and the pure cyan fighting spirit covered his whole body, like a ghost returning from hell, and the stabbing sword in his hand suddenly pointed at Akori's eyebrows!

The latter raised his head to avoid, but was still stabbed in the helmet by the sword.

The red tassel fluttered, and the helmet fell to the ground with a clang, melting into molten iron. Akori's long golden hair spread out, and his handsome face was full of hideousness, shocked and angry!

He wielded the wave blade giant sword. Even though his whole body of Dou Qi had been suppressed, the strong physique brought by the third-level life Dou Qi was still his capital. Behind him, although there was no Dou Qi to support him, the shadow of the martial soul was still condensed and did not disperse.

He did not give up!

Ding——

The wave blade giant sword collided with the rapier in Gul'dan's hand, and the fire splashed. The power contained in it actually made Gul'dan retreat two steps.

"I can still defeat you without Dou Qi!"

Akori held the hilt with both hands and rubbed it suddenly. The blade that was originally tightly connected was separated from it. A wave blade giant sword turned into two long swords held in his hands.

He raised his left hand diagonally upwards, and his right hand was also raised high, as if he had completely given up defense.

This is not any kind of swordsmanship of the human race, but comes from the "Roaring Mountain Sword" of the bear tribe among the orcs!

Then, taking a big step, Akori rushed forward with an indomitable momentum, opening his bows left and right, and the two sharp swords kept smashing down on Gul'dan's head like two heavy hammers!

This seemed to be without any fancy, but only Gul'dan who faced him knew how much pressure there was. Even though he could drive the fighting spirit and float in the air, and his mobility was more flexible, he could not completely break away from Akori's offensive and was caught in a dilemma.

Even in terms of strength, he was completely suppressed!

Akori was not afraid of the flames on the blade at all. Even if it had climbed up his armor along the weapon, he did not retreat an inch, and his movements were not scattered at all.

Anger rose from Gul'dan's heart.

He was a dandy who only knew how to enjoy himself all day long, but he was also a nobleman and the heir of the Gul'dan family!

Now that all means have been used, even the life suppression force field has been used, but he still can't beat Akori who can't even use fighting spirit!

Indeed, he could withdraw now and then use his fighting spirit to wear down Akori, but what else would that show except his cowardice and incompetence?

He wanted to win!

With this thought, the momentum of his sword suddenly changed, and he let Akori's long sword chop at his chest, and thrust the dagger directly at Akori's throat——

Montreal stood up in an instant: "Gul'dan!!!!"
