"It must be Allen!" Steve gritted his teeth in anger.
Although there was no solid evidence pointing to Allen, Steve's intuition told him that it must be Allen who did it.
Steve, who had just come out of Egleson, was in a mess, but his eyes were red with anger.
He was cold and hungry the whole night, and he looked like he was surrounded by dangers.
If it weren't for his strong strength, his corpse would have been bitten to pieces by the snakes.
It was impossible for Steve not to take revenge.
Steve, who had just come back from Egleson, didn't even go to his own room. Instead, he went straight to Allen's residence.
Seeing Allen grinding his body in front of the log cabin from a distance, Steve wished he could rush over and stab Allen to death now.
"I really underestimated you." Steve stared at Allen's eyes, trying to suppress his anger.
Allen didn't take Steve seriously at all.
How could he leave so easily after offending him?
How was that possible!
Last night, he just taught him a lesson. If he died, it was his life's fault. If he didn't die, he would better find a place to lick the wound with his tail.
Now he dared to jump in front of him. He thought it was not enough to teach him a lesson.
Allen wiped his body with water and said casually, "It seems that you had a good time last night."
Allen's behavior irritated Steve again.
"I'm going to duel with you. In the city, in the witness of the castellan, and the witness of everyone, I'm going to kill you, a despicable man."
Steve roared madly with his red eyes, spitting almost two meters away.
"What?"
Allen had thought that this guy just couldn't get over it for a while. He came to scold him and might make trouble for him, but he didn't expect that he would come here to challenge him!
It seemed that Allen had made a lot of trouble for him last night.
"I accept it."
Allen said in neither a humble nor pushy tone.
Obviously, the two of them couldn't get back together. But Allen didn't feel guilty for the other party's scheme against him.
It was just a matter of life and death.
After the duel, all the grudges could be written off.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the city." Seeing that Allen had agreed, Steve didn't say anything more.
All his scold and anger would only show his incompetence. Even if he beat Allen now, he could do nothing to him. After all, he was in a bad condition now.
It was better to go back to the city to have a rest than to delay here.
At that time, all the humiliation would be washed away with Allen's blood.
Steve gave Allen a resentful look and limped away.
Allen glanced at Steve's back and didn't take it seriously.
He packed up and went back to the city.
Steve went back first and told castellan about the duel between the two. Under the condition of intentional spread, the whole city soon knew about it.
Of course, castellan Will didn't want to see this. After all, the competition didn't last long, and he needed these people to help him.
Now they started a civil war before joining the battle. No matter which one died, it was a loss to him.
However, after a long time of persuasion, he found that Steve had made up his mind, so he had to give up.
The castellan mansion had set up a huge battle ring on the square in the center of the city.
All the citizens had received the news, and even the individual investors outside the city had entered the city to see what was going on.
The crowd was in a mess as if they were celebrating a grand festival.
This was what Allen had seen when he just entered the city.
Escorted by a couple of knights, Allen walked into the city.
"Is this the master invited by castellan? He looks very young..."
"What do you know? Although he is young, Earth Knight is not necessarily able to beat him, not even Roger."
"This battle can be said to be a fierce one. It's a real transcendent war. We are lucky to see such a battle."
"Yes, you are right. Even a town can't have a Big Knight. Today we can actually see a battle of this level."
"But I heard that Allen was very vicious. He even set up Steve outside of Egleson..."
"Is that true?"
The crowd began to discuss, some curious, some surprised, and some with all kinds of malicious speculation and disdain.
Allen turned a deaf ear to them.
Fights between knights were very common, but most of them were just sparring or battles that ended at a certain point. There were very few battles that would gamble on their lives.
It was not easy for everyone to reach this step, and they would not easily suppress all their wealth.
This was Allen's first life and death struggle. Even if he had absolute confidence, he couldn't let down his guard.
When Allen arrived at the square, the atmosphere reached its climax.
Castellan led a group of people to sit at the top.
Allen glanced around and saw many familiar faces. Even the injured uncle Kenan was sitting there and nodded at him.
Castellan came over.
"Allen, are you sure you want to take part in the life and death battle?"
Allen nodded and said seriously, "I'm sure."
Will wasn't surprised. He just asked in a casual way.
Steve, who had been prepared for a long time, was now standing on the battle ring.
Facing the crowd, castellan Will raised his hand and pressed it down. The whole square immediately quieted down.
"Today's duel is not what I want to see, but it is the best way to solve the problem. This is an honor for the knights."
A clear voice reached everyone's ears.
"No matter what kind of contradiction there is between you two, today it will be washed with blood. I hope you won't stain the glory of the knight."
Allen also stepped onto the battle ring.
Although the two of them were no longer on the same side, they still saluted each other with the highest chivalry.
Allen took a deep breath and pulled out the knight sword from his waist, standing in front of his chest.
He fixed his eyes on Steve.
The moment Will put his hand down, the two of them moved.
Steve's knight sword stabbed at him like lightning.
It was a two-handed sword, but its speed was even faster than an ordinary sword!
Allen's face darkened. He hacked down with his knight sword and pulled it to the left.
"Clap!"
A crisp sound of metal colliding rang out, followed by a harsh sound of friction.
Steve didn't go for Allen. The tip of his sword hovered on the edge of Allen's sword like a venomous snake, heading straight for his throat.
But Allen didn't give him a chance. The tip of the sword seemed to have lost its gravity and quickly dropped to the ground, directly getting rid of Steve.
The hilt of the sword hit hard on the tip of Steve's sword.
In an instant, Steve's knight sword began to tilt and the middle door opened.
This was the skill of using the knight sword.
Allen had some other thoughts.
During this period, a large part of his training in the periphery of Egleson was about the use of weapons.
Thanks to the knight's talent, he had made great progress.
Allen, who was about to take a step forward to get rid of Steve, suddenly found a disdainful sneer on the corner of the man's mouth.
The alarm bell rang in Allen's heart, and he turned over without hesitation.
The sharp sword slashed at Allen's shoulder.
But he also avoided this fatal attack.
Allen frowned at the pain but didn't get angry.
"No matter what, you have to keep rational. Only rational warriors can stand at the end, or you will only be chopped down to the ground like a beast."
Allen suddenly thought of the words taught by Francis.
Allen's swordsmanship had been broken by Steve, and now he was at a disadvantage.
It was definitely not easy to reverse the situation in one or two moves.
Allen gave up the knight sword directly.
Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation in the square.
Everyone was stunned by Allen's performance.
Wasn't giving up the weapon at this time courting death?
However, Francis in the grandstand suddenly found something else.
Distance.
The distance between Allen and Steve was too close.
Just then, he saw Allen's bright eyes.
It suddenly occurred to him that this fellow seemed to have a skill of double explosive power.
"Bang!"
Steve's body flew out of the ring.
