"You don't see your power correctly, and you don't exert the true power of that sword. + This is not a qualified knight."

Artoria's words silenced Elionora.

"Your name is Artoria! Don't go too far, Lord Alionora...!"

A sword was thrown over, and Lim hurriedly caught it - it was her sword. But what does Artoria meant to come back at this time? Is it mean that Lord Alionora is not worthy of competing with her?

Lim looked over angrily, but saw a surprised scene.

I saw Artoria wave his right hand and flatten the grass beside her like a sharp blade.

"What's your right hand...??"

Elionora looked at Artoria's right hand in horror, the invisible sharp blade... She hadn't even heard of it, but she was sure that it was extremely dangerous.

"Are you ready?" Artoria smiled mysteriously.

"......bring it on!"

Just a moment of surprise, Alionola raised her sword with a confident smile on her face.

So--

The two of them moved at the same time, and the fire flashed three times in the moment when they intersected each other. After they separated again, Alionola's clothes on her shoulder were cut into pieces.

"Mr. Alionora!?"

Lim couldn't help but change her face. Alionola should not be injured, right? But what surprised her even more was that after using the dragon tool, Alionola would suffer a loss after meeting, and her opponent was not the Zhan Ji, who was also the holder of the dragon tool.

I'm fine.

Replying a look that made Lim feel at ease, Alionola faced Artoria: "That's the way a sword... but it's a lot of trouble if you can't figure out its length..."

"Is that?" Artoria turned around and recalled: "But someone accurately judged the length and width of the sword after a confrontation."

"What!? There is such a person!?"

Elionola's eyes widened. What a brilliant swordsmanship that would take...

laugh......

Alionola smiled: "It seems that I am not mature enough, but I have a way to judge it."

Then, Alionola called out to the sword in a low voice: "Alifall."

Huh ~

Suddenly, a breeze blew over and rolled up the grass chips that had been broken because of the two of them fighting.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably think this was a normal phenomenon, but Artoria, the magic in the wind, was so familiar with it, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"It's my place!"

With a loud shout, Elionola rushed up.

Artoria also shouted softly, slightly opened her body and sword from bottom to top, but avoided Alionola's long sword and cut towards her abdomen. Although doing so would hurt herself, it was undoubtedly the other party's injury to her even more serious.

How will you deal with you?

Artoria looked at Elionola's face with ease, looking forward to her performance.

Elionola turned around, and under the thunder of wind, she barely avoided the invisible sword blade. She aimed at Artoria's shoulder and slashed it.

What!?

Artoria was shocked. She thought that she would have to compete at least a few more times to determine the size of excalibur, but she would not expect that she would avoid it.

But even if there are dragon tools, Elionora is still far behind the heroic spirit.

At the critical moment, Artoria blocked the attack with an impossible speed. Under this attack, she felt an unusual force and her whole body was blown away.

After struggling to knock Artoria away, Alionola hurriedly adjusted her body, but saw that Artoria, who was ten meters away, stabilized her body, and immediately knew that she had lost the opportunity to pursue her.

(So ​​amazing...)

Alionola became excited. This was the first time she had encountered such a strong man outside of Zhan Ji. This made her blood boil, and this was also the feeling that the rest of Zhan Ji could not bring to her. After all, Zhan Ji was still a colleague.

"Did you notice the length of excalibur?" Artoria said calmly.

"Is the name of the sword? It was Alifair who told me."

Hearing this, Artoria glanced at the sword in Alionora's hand and nodded: "It's a powerful sword, but you can't exert its power."

Seeing Artoria's words again, Alionola said dissatisfiedly: "I do need to be tempered, but I have already had the same meaning with Ailifal!"

"Since that's the case, you can show it to me with all your might!"

The holy sword in his hand pointed at Elionora, and a golden light seemed to shine through the clouds, and a small tornado blew towards Elionora.

What!?

Alionora was startled and almost called: "Alifael!"

A wind wall appeared in front of Elionola to offset the tornado, through the invisible airflow. She saw a sacred sword appearing in front of her.

“Woo…”

Alionora hurriedly resisted, but every blow of Artoria was so heavy that her hands were trembling. Although with the help of the dragon tool, magical winds blew the battle situation, both defense and attack were cut by the holy sword like paper.

Finally, with a crisp sound, Elifal got out of his hand. The sword turned beautifully in the sky several times and inserted it to Wu Jian’s feet that happened to arrive.

"Wow! Did I offend you? I'll give me such a welcome as soon as I come?"

"Master, this is a battle between knights. Please don't joke around." Artoria took back the holy sword and said in a deep voice.

“Sorry, sorry…”

Wu Jian picked up Elifael without apologizing - it is logical that ordinary people can't take it, but Elionora and Lim don't care anymore, and they are still immersed in the horror of defeat.

"How do you feel when fighting an opponent who can't be defeated even with dragon tools?" Wu Jian handed Elifal over.

After looking at Wu Jian, Alionola took Elifael with a wry smile: "It's too strong... I didn't expect that there was such a weapon besides the dragon tools..."

"Elionora. You're wrong. It's not the holy sword excalibur that defeats you. In fact, even if you only use ordinary swords, Riya can defeat you."

"—How is that possible!?" Lim shouted subconsciously.

“In fact, that’s true.”

It was Artoria who said this, and her words silenced Lim and Elionola. However, this made Wu Jian very depressed. Why was he unconvincing?

"It's called a dragon tool - you can't rely on the power of the dragon tool. You do a good job. But you have exposed a problem - you cannot correctly recognize the power you have. Your problem now is not whether to rely on the dragon tool. It's because you are resistant to it, which also leads to you being unable to exert its power."

After hearing Artoria's words, Alionora showed a bitter smile and looked at Alifael and said, "It's really difficult to not rely on dragon tools, but also to exert its power with all its strength...."

"In fact, this is just because you don't have a good opponent. Ordinary soldiers are just torture food to you, and the rest of the warriors have never used life-and-death struggles with you. They are always in a mild environment, it would be strange if they can become stronger."

"Don't say stupid things! Lord Alionora has experienced countless battlefields!"

Lim clenched her fist and knocked at Wu Jian. However, he grabbed his wrist: "Countless battlefields? Don't talk about how many wars you have experienced and how strong the opponents you face are? What you really trained through countless battlefields should be like him-"

Wu Jian pointed to the Yingling Guardian, who showed an impatient look. Don’t pull him in, okay?

"I'm sure I'm not interested in guiding others." Yingling Weigong gave a vaccination first. Originally, he was unwilling to come here.

"Master, if you can, let me guide Alionola. But... it's up to the consent of the parties involved..."

Upon hearing this, Alionola's eyes lit up and nodded and said, "I'm fine! Lord Artoria - no. Master!"

Although there was only one competition, Artoria had convinced her with her strength.

"Mr. Alionora!?"

Lim was very anxious. Elionola was also the lord of a country after all. How could she get to be a disciple at will?

"Okay, OK, the master is the first. If the master is willing to serve here, no matter how high the status is, it is OK! Ah, of course I can give it!"

"No, I have no intention of serving the second master."

“Hey~ It’s a pity…”

Although he was poached in person, Wu Jian didn't care at all. After breakfast, he started a military meeting.

"It's really... I can't win..."

Elionola lay on the table. After breakfast, she couldn't help but pull Artoria to fight again, but the result was even worse. She wanted to fight again, but Lim pulled her and said she wanted to have a meeting - in fact, today's military meeting was really held under the leadership of Lim.

"Hey, Wu Jian... Let me ask you a question. Why didn't you bring your master with you? If you had your master here, I wouldn't have caught you?"

"Didn't I say it? I deliberately asked you to catch it..." Wu Jian raised Alionora's chin: "It's just like you're holding my heart."

"Wu Jian..."

Dong!

A sudden loud noise shocked the two of them, and Lim was staring at Wu Jian: "Don't talk nonsense to me! Now, during the meeting, listen carefully!"

However, it was just a military meeting to summarize the information. Because he had just defeated Zion and had not even disappeared, he didn't know what action would Duke Tenardier do. Moreover, another duke from the Kingdom of Brune was also eyeing him, and his movements were also concerning.

The commander-in-chief of the Tenardier Army who invaded Arthas was Zion Tenardier. This young man was the eldest son of the duke and should have become the next duke.

Tenardier is a famous family since ancient times. He has power that even the king cannot despise. He can use about 10,000 troops. Most of the relatives are nobles. It is said that if they put together their troops, their troops will exceed 30,000.

Alsace can use about one hundred soldiers. Besides the city of Ceresta, there are only four villages. Even if they are barely pieced together, it can only increase to about three hundred, and in this way, they will lose young men. They are the main labor force, and towns and villages will likely stop operating normally.
