The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 34: Praying Mantis and Oriole (4)

   "Fidel, if you were someone with a saber, how would you deal with Catherine."

   On the hanging building next to the yard, Pidro, seeing that the victory was divided, asked Fidel next to him.

   This is because the weapons used by Catherine and Fidel are so similar, they are both a combination of swords and shields.

   "If it were me, I wouldn't choose a saber." Hearing Pedro's question, Fidel replied after a little thought.

Maybe it’s because everyone doesn’t understand, Fidel later explained: “The saber is a weapon used by cavalry and is suitable for horse warfare. In horse warfare, the skills of using short weapons are nothing more than stabs and slashes. . With the help of the horse's impact, use the blade to slash the opponent's defense and body. In foot combat, facing the enemy who uses the shield, the saber is extremely disadvantaged. Because it can't borrow force immediately, and its mass is lighter and very light. It's hard to break the opponent's defense."

   "Then what would you do?" After listening to Fidel's analysis, Ruth next to him also became interested and asked Fidel to teach him.

   "I will use the same sword and shield combination or blunt weapon." Fidel looked at the little Anzumov in the duel in the distance and said.

  Pidro and Ruth agreed.

   This is indeed a big mistake by Anzumov. When two people with similar martial skills compete, the choice of weapons will greatly affect the outcome. To deal with a sword and shield soldier, the best way is to use the same weapon as him. In this way, the impact of weapons on the outcome of the duel can be evened out; and the figure of Anzumov is taller and stronger than Catherine, and his strength is greater. If a blunt tool is used, even if Catherine makes the shield more powerful and can no longer unload, his arm is still easy to be numbed or broken by the blunt tool.

   can be a fan of the so-called authorities and clear bystanders. Pidro and others were outside the field, and of course they could clearly see the weapons used by the two, but Earl Anzumov did not know Catherine's routine until he came on the field.

   At this time in the arena, Doronen took a cloak and walked to the side of Count Anzumov.

   "Anjo, put on this. Even Hannibal, the **** of war, has times of failure. God will compensate you elsewhere if he doesn't let you profit in the duel."

   Doronin's words seemed to comfort Xiao Anzumov, but it was a great irony in Xiao Anzumov's ears. After the defeat, God will compensate me in other places. Where is it? Officialdom? Today, I was embarrassed in front of all the colleagues of the noble guard, and I can no longer expect to become the commander of the guard. And you, Doronin, without my competitor, the position of commander is almost always yours. Now that you say this, can you still give me the position of commander?

But thinking so in his heart, the little Anzumov took the cloak that Doronin handed over in action, put it on his body and said in an affectionate tone: "Thank you, Doronin. My friend. It's like you. Said that one person will not be lucky forever, nor will one person be bad forever. I lost my hand today, but one day I will get back what I lost today."

   "Including the position of the commander." Xiao Anzumov added to his heart.

   "Of course, of course. Anzu, God will bless you." Doronen also said in affectionate words. He swept around again with his slightly short-sighted eyes.

   The members of the noble guards who were in charge of guarding around, saw Xiao Anzumov's defeat, and they all showed an angry look. Some of them, although the relationship with Xiao Anzumov is not good on weekdays, today, one is his colleague and the other is a member of the mercenary group. These people naturally regard the duel as a nobleman. A contest between the guard and the mercenary group. Now that Xiao Anzumov is defeated, it is natural that the noble guard lost to the mercenary regiment. How can this not make all the popularity suffocated.

   On the other side, Catherine handed the sword and shield to the servants beside him, and was about to leave with Helena.

   "Lieutenant Catherine, please wait." Doronen shouted to Catherine.

   Catherine and Helena turned their heads. Helena looked up at her lover, then at Doronin, with a puzzled expression. Feodor and others also cast a puzzled look at Doronin.

   "I want to try it with you too." Before Catherine could speak, Doronen stated his purpose.

   The audience was in an uproar.

   Everyone is strange. It is no secret in Smolensk that Doronin and Anzumov are at odds. And now, Doronin would fight for his opponent Anzumov, and would fight Catherine for him?

   Among these, the only thing that is not surprising is Franco and Catherine himself. Because this was originally part of the ‘plan’. Although Franco is fair and strict, he has not reached the point where he is not at all impersonal. After reporting the three suspects he found to Fyodor that day, Franco found Catherine alone and told Catherine what he had reported to Fyodor. According to Franco, if the person is really Catherine, let him know in advance and you can buy time for him to escape. It can also be regarded as a bit of love for his subordinates from the officer.

   And Catherine also admitted on the spot that she was the person who dated Miss Helena that day. And confessed to Franco that he would not run without Helena. No way, Franco had to instruct Catherine to find Senator Doronin. Doronin and Anzumov are enemies, and Doronin will definitely be happy to help Catherine in this matter.

   This is indeed the case. When Catherine approached Doronen, Doronen immediately agreed and proposed a plan. That was when Catherine admitted that she was Helena's lover in front of Fyodor, and used the ancient customs of the Republic of Poland to challenge the little Anzumov. Break the marriage contract between Xiao Anzumov and Helena by winning the victory. The price of Doronin's help was to lose to herself after Catherine defeated Anzumov.

The    plan was very successful, and even Anzumov's replacement of the castle guard provided Doronin with a better chance to win a greater reputation.

   And now, it's time for Doronen to get paid.

"You won An Zu. Although I have always been at odds with An Zu, he is a member of our Noble Guard after all. He lost to you today, so to outsiders it is that our Noble Guard lost to the Mercenary Corps. I want to Win back the lost glory for our aristocratic guards." Doronen said that his righteousness was strict and powerful. When the nobles around heard this, they nodded at the same time.

   "Yes, we want to win back the honor." More than one thinks ~www.NovelMTL.com~ and many people plan to challenge Catherine if Doronin loses.

   "Okay, then I accept your challenge." Catherine smiled at Helena's disturbed eyes and replied at the same time.

   This is a scene. I played the first half of the show, and I will finish the second half.

   After a short break, the two went to the duel. The way of this duel is a lance duel. The servants brought two similar war horses and handed them to the two.

   Just in case, the steel spearheads of the lances they used were taken off, and they all put on breastplates and helmets with masks.

   After three horns, the two knights kicked the horse in the stomach with riding boots equipped with spurs, and raised their lances to face each other.

  Since it is acting, Catherine must of course fulfill the responsibilities of an actor. When he was about to pierce Doronin with the lance, he slightly deflected the tip of the gun, allowing the lance to pass through Doronin's armpit. And Doronen's lance stabbed Catherine's helmet severely, knocking him to the ground.

   This time, there were such fierce cheers from the audience. All the nobles are chanting Doronin's name, thanking him for winning back the honor for the nobles of Smolensk. Especially in the lance duel that the knight values ​​most.

   "Doronin, Doronin." The supporters of Doronin in the noble guard shouted with extra force.

   And Feodor also walked up to Doronin with a smile, opened his arms and gave him a big hug. This can also be seen as Fyodor's recognition of the position of Commander Doronin.

   "Damn it. Is today my Good Friday? Is there anything bad waiting for me?" Xiao Anzumov suffered repeated defeats, and his mood was really low.

   At this time, as if in response to the low Anzumov's mood, a horse ran into the castle.
