Chapter 181 Instructions
As Lulans accepted Orson's challenge, the topic in Wushan Fortress changed to discussing when and where to hold this competition.
The combat destructive power of the Meteor-Class Knights is huge, so it is impossible for them to choose to fight in a square, lawn, or yard in the castle.
At the same time, considering that the nobles need to watch, the venue must be more open.
After some discussion, everyone chose an abandoned pasture outside the castle. The terrain was open, and there was no need to worry about destroying buildings.
The time for the competition is set at three o'clock in the afternoon.
In the study, Lu Lansi was wiping his sword. He did not look impatient at all but very calm. This decision was not made on a whim.
"Grandpa, why did you agree?"
Roning confusedly asked, "I have already agreed to Orson's proposal."
"Yes, Father, your body cannot sustain high-intensity combat."
Wiggins was also complaining and worried. Although he had a bad temper and had not made any good achievements in any aspect, he had always respected and feared Rulans since he was a child.
Compared to his father-in-law Orson, he didn't want his father to get hurt.
Lulans put the sword aside, looked at Roning and Wiggins, and finally set his eyes on Bretton, who didn't speak.
"Breton, what are you thinking about?" Lu Lans asked.
Bretton's eyes were red, and his situation was very embarrassing.
"I don't know why Grandpa would challenge you even though he knew you were injured. But I also think it might be better if you rejected his challenge."
Lu Lan Si nodded, "I am very pleased that you all care about my safety, but I also have reasons to accept the challenge."
This is not the first or second time Orson has behaved like this. He is doing it so openly today simply because his strength has improved.
Whether Lu Lans accepts it or not, it is a fact that Wushan Territory has one more meteor-level strongman, which will weaken Wushan Fort's influence, especially when Wushan Fort is short on talent.
At this time, giving Wubeiling to Luo Ning was trivial; maintaining the prestige of Wushanbao became more important.
Rulans has his plans.
He glanced at the three people before him and smiled faintly: "Sometimes if you step away from yourself and consider things from your family's perspective, you may have different opinions."
"Especially you, Brayton."
He looked directly into the other person's eyes, and his expression made Bretton look solemn.
"I know that you have always been thinking about your family. You want to cultivate to make the Wushan family produce a strong man again, so you spend most of your energy on cultivation. This also leads to your lack of knowledge in other aspects."
"But you must always remember that your people are only the three people standing before you now, and your brother is only Ronin, no one else!"
Breton's eyes flashed. He didn't fully understand the meaning of this sentence, but he would remember it.
"I remember Grandpa!"
Rulans nodded, then looked at Wiggins, "Think carefully before you express your opinion. Being furious and incompetent will only make people look like a joke. If all else fails, pretend to be dumb or deaf."
Wiggins sat in the wheelchair with his head drooped. "Got it."
Finally, Lu Lan Si looked at Luo Ning and smiled with relief. He did not expect this person to be the most mature of the three, whom he initially looked down upon and even gave up on.
"Practice well."
Luo Ning sighed, "Honestly, I don't like the current atmosphere. It makes you sound like you are arranging your final resting place. But I still hope you can be safe since fighting is unavoidable."
"Hahaha..."
Lu Lan Si couldn't help but laugh aloud: "I just haven't reminded you like this for a long time. Why do you sound like I'm telling you my last words?"
He waved his hands quickly, "Alright, alright, everyone, get off. I need to adjust my condition."
Meanwhile, in another room.
"Father, why are you doing this?"
Diane expressed her confusion and doubt to Orson: "You knew that the Marquis should not take action, so why did you challenge him?"
She shook her head in annoyance. "I don't understand. What good will this do for you?"
"Diane, you may have made a mistake. It was not me who challenged the Marquis but Count Jesus of Moonlight Valley."
Orson leaned back in the soft chair with an innocent look. "Gods of the Seven, after Jesus said that, until the Marquis agreed, I only said one sentence: to give Wushan Castle a way out and calm the debate in the hall."
He spread his hands and said, "Unfortunately, before I could finish my words, Lord Lulans agreed to Jesus' proposal. What do you want me to do?"
What he said was indeed true.
"Father, do you believe this yourself?"
Orson's expression was slightly cold. "Diane, you shouldn't question your father like this. Don't you know why I do all this? Don't you have any sense of urgency?"
Diane fell silent.
She naturally realized Ronin's threat to Breton and could feel Lulans' attitude towards Ronin.
"But the Marquis has already said that he will not easily change the heir, right?"
Diane believes Breton and Ronin are different. As long as the Hyde family remains prosperous and defends the border, her son's heir status will not change.
Orson's challenge was completely unnecessary.
Besides, Diane didn't want to see Lu Lans get hurt.
She also has her little thoughts.
As long as Lu Lan Si is alive and well, Bretton will have more room and time to grow. The stronger Bretton is, the more important he will be in the future, and he will not easily become a pawn controlled by others.
"Father, if you care about Breton, I suggest you cancel the sparring this afternoon."
Dai Anni said solemnly: "I don't want Lu Lan Si to get hurt, and I don't want to see you get hurt."
Orson shook his head slowly. "Since the Marquis has agreed, this contest is inevitable. I have no reason to cancel it."
Diane sighed; she felt powerless.
In addition to these two places in Wushan Fort, other nobles gathered in groups of three or four to discuss this matter.
Some people even used the carrier pigeons they raised in Wushan City to spread the news of the upcoming fight between Lulans and Orson.
I thought the atmosphere in Wushanbao would calm down after the New Year celebration, but no one expected something like this to happen.
Roning was playing with the scroll of powerful healing in his hand. It was a gift from Lulans, and only one was left in Wushan Castle.
"McKen, if anything happens this afternoon, you rush in and use this scroll."
"yes!"
Ronin handed the spell scroll to McKen.
"There are other preparations to be made."
Roning frowned. He had to be prepared for the defeat of the Lulans. At that time, he did not want to let Orson, the challenger, leave calmly.
Although the opponent is a Meteor Knight whose strength crushes the gold level, he is not invincible.
In addition to Rulans and Orson, a Meteor Knight in Wushan Castle now, Broll, who follows Blanche.
In addition, there are also several knights of the gold and silver levels.
"We need to see their attitude first."
