Chapter 2021 A Clever Move
As soon as I heard what Cagalli said was unpleasant, I knew that she was still angry, so I used my eloquent tongue and various gentle words to comfort her, and finally stabilized her mood.
"Did she get into any trouble?" I asked cautiously.
"She is fine. She lives in the New Valiant Guild and is responsible for the supply of materials. She works hard and has a cautious attitude. She is highly praised by Jin Siqi. But her father! That man who does not overestimate his capabilities! He actually wants to control my city of Dashai. The lifeblood of the military!”
Cagalli sneered: "Does he really think that he is your future father-in-law, so my father will not dare to kill him?"
Facing Cagalli's murderous and sarcastic tone, I chose to remain silent.
I dissociated myself from Mr. Mavro from the moment he decided to enter the military world.
In order to prevent Daphne from being troubled by this for the rest of her life, I left enough time and space for her to choose from the beginning, whether to choose me or Mr. Mavro.
When I heard Cagalli's description at this moment, I already knew that Daphne's choice was mine.
Since Daphne has chosen me, she must have been mentally prepared. As long as Mr. Mavro is alive and well, no matter what fate he ends up with, Daphne will be able to accept it with gritted teeth.
Thinking of this, I cleared my throat and said, "I promised Daphne to spare Mr. Mavro's life."
"Yeah, I understand." Cagalli's tone became much gentler.
After that, we chatted some more about love and said a few words about lovesickness, and then reluctantly hung up the call.
Putting away the call crystal, I smiled apologetically at the lightsaber knight.
The lightsaber knight's generous expression is understandable.
After adjusting our condition, we continue the fierce duel that was left unfinished last time.
The result of this battle was not much different from the last one. Both ended with me being exhausted and collapsing. However, the battle process was very intriguing because this time, I actually injured the lightsaber knight!
Although it’s just a scratch, it’s a big improvement for me who didn’t even touch it last time!
Lying on the ground, I giggled for a long time.
Bingnaisi was so frightened by my silly smile that he hid behind the girl in blue feathers, while Yadyan kept hitting my breastplate and shouted my name loudly.
I was puzzled as to why it did this. When Yadeyan saw that I was no longer giggling, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In my hometown, calling your name can recall your soul. I saw that you were giggling just now. I'm afraid you lost your soul." Well, let me give you a shout."
After that, I spent three consecutive days in duels. Although each duel ended in a disastrous defeat, in the next battle after the disastrous defeat, my strength in all aspects improved significantly. , the battle with the lightsaber knight gradually became calmer.
At three o'clock in the morning on the fourth day, we started the fourth duel.
This time, the lightsaber knight struck first and swung a fierce sword at me without mercy.
Hearing the whistling sound of the sword blade splitting the air, I showed no fear and raised my sword to block. The two swords crossed each other and turned into a pair of scissors, jamming the lightsaber.
Then, along with the long sword, he swung away the lightsaber, and passed the short sword forward, piercing the chest armor.
The lightsaber knight calmly raised his arm and raised his small shield to block the tip of the blade. The back shield was slightly tilted, allowing the blade to rub against the shield surface. When the short sword slipped out, he retracted his arm and held it back. The lightsaber stabbed me in the right shoulder.
Swinging his left arm and stabbing his right shoulder, this move is really insidious.
The blocked left arm was unable to respond in a short period of time, and the right arm became a flaw. If the sword was stabbed, the right hand would be unable to swing the sword normally for a short period of time.
Once it succeeds, not only will my combat effectiveness be greatly reduced, but I may even end up in a difficult battle.
However, although this move of the Light Saber Knight is powerful, it ignores one thing.
I am a human being, and I am not a real knight, so the traditional moves and knight fighting etiquette are useless to me. I will not attack the enemy with your sword and mine with my sword honestly. The deceitful way of fighting is my foundation!
Seeing that the lightsaber was about to hit my shoulder armor, I grinned, dwarfed, jumped forward, slipped between the lightsaber knight's spread legs, and was behind it in an instant. , then handed the knife over and pressed it against the lightsaber knight's neck.
"His Majesty said that strong strength coupled with changeable tactics is the basis for victory in every battle." The lightsaber knight said slowly, "Congratulations, you won this duel."
"No, if we calculate it according to common sense, you win." Withdrawing the sword, I walked up to the lightsaber knight, stared at it for a few seconds, and then bowed: "If you didn't hit it again and again, I'm afraid I would have He died here.”
The lightsaber knight did not deny it, but he was not proud either: "The reason why I can always defeat you relies on the powerful power given by your majesty and the exquisite swordsmanship recorded in the memory magic. But I only know these, unlike you, although Weak in strength, but with many strategic strategies.”
"No matter how many strategies you have, they are nothing but trivial tricks." I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "Except for today's strike, I have never beaten you even with one move or a half. Even if I hit the armor, I would never be able to kill with one strike. , Let’s talk about you, if you really had murderous intentions, I’m afraid you would have been riddled with holes long ago.”
"But you can improve and continue to become stronger, but I can only stay where you are or accept His Majesty's next transformation."
Although the tone of the lightsaber knight's words has never changed, from a few words, I can still feel its desire to become stronger and its regret for the current situation.
In order to make the atmosphere around me more relaxed, I changed the subject: "Your swordsmanship is extremely superb. It's hard to imagine that His Majesty Bakar is actually a swordsman."
"Your Majesty is not a swordsman," the lightsaber knight said: "These sword skills all come from a friend of your Majesty's. This friend has excellent sword skills. Even if he fights against your majesty, he will be on par with him."
"Use swords on both sides?" I asked.
"I don't know that."
After resting for a while, I asked the lightsaber knight: "Now can you tell me your true intention of proposing a duel to me?"
The lightsaber knight pondered for a few seconds and said in a low voice: "Yes, after I learned that you were His Majesty's friend, I decided to hone your strength in a duel."
"Why do you do this?" I asked puzzled.
"Because the next lord you are about to face is the most ruthless one in the entire Sky City," the lightsaber knight said: "The golden demon Platani was made by your majesty and is the most unstable. The puppet giant has strength comparable to Lord Lucas, and it also has a golden armor full of magic. If you don't have considerable strength, you can't defeat it."
The lightsaber knight slowly lowered his head and looked at me with his scarlet eyes: "You are His Majesty's friend, and I cannot watch you die in vain."
