Chapter 167 Humiliation
The strength of the elephant hunter obviously exceeded Ian's expectation of the maximum strength of human beings. However, considering that the Iban people and humans are not the same race in a strict sense, and the player chooses the initial Iban bloodline when creating the character. Strength +3 setting.
It is reasonable for such a situation to occur in such a fantasy world.
Thinking of this, Ian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had saved a hand just now and didn't let Keith hit him. Otherwise, if Keith faced this monster, the ending might not be much better than Jorah's.
In the seventh game of the battle, Suda made no substitutions and still chose to let the Elephant Hunter play.
The Hazan side once again sent Yada, the water dancer, at Ian's suggestion.
Fight these muscular monsters and defeat them with water dancers.
As expected by Ian, the elephant hunter still started with three spears, but Yada dodged them all. And when the two sides started to fight in close combat, the elephant hunter couldn't even touch Yada. In the third minute of the battle, Yada found an opportunity to kill him.
In the eighth battle, it was Hazan's turn to send someone to the stage first, and this time Ian suggested sending in Keyes, who was holding a Valyrian steel sword.
Suda sent the injured Ander Poole. After all, Suda was the last acting warrior left.
This is another battle without any suspense. To be more precise, the outcome of this tourney begins with Ian finishing his task, equipping Yada with a Valyrian steel sword, and poisoning the two betrayed water dancers. , sending Bronn to lurk on Suda's side in advance, the suspense was already lost.
Hazan's side eliminated two of Suda's participating places in the opening game, and at the same time completely disrupted Suda's tactical deployment, causing them to be restricted in every subsequent game.
Although there was an episode during the game that could kill Jorah's Elephant Hunter instantly, the ultra-high fault tolerance rate brought about by Ian's strategy made them fully able to withstand such an unexpected loss, even for Ian himself. It's not a loss, because if Jorah dies in battle, his share of the commission will be collected by Ian.
The first chapter of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is called "Ji Pian". The word "ji" has three meanings: calculation, calculation and plan (strategy), that is, calculating the enemy's and our own forces, calculating success and failure, and making a complete plan.
Plan first and decide later.
For Ian, the winner had already been decided before everything started today.
Sure enough, although Ender showed extremely superb swordsmanship and amazing strength in the last battle of his life, he was not much weaker than him despite his leg injury and was holding Valyria. With the steel sword, Case could still only die with hatred...
Maybe the one I hate is Darren Grafson.
As soon as Keith cut off Ender's head, Ian, who was sitting in the stands, received a kill report from the system.
[My subordinates successfully killed a player, gained 2 points, captured 12 points, 2 skill points, and gained 3 additional strength points]
Since Ender was killed by Case, Ian's benefits were halved, but overall it was still rich enough, and there was even an unexpected bonus of skill points.
However, at this time, it is normal to gain skill points by killing players, and everyone including Ian himself has skill points.
The updated data card is:
[Ian: Strength 35, Agility 27, Mental Strength 22
Skills: Basic etiquette, basic reading and writing in Common Tongue, proficient swordsmanship, advanced equestrian skills, intermediate lance, intermediate level skinchanger, basic green seer
Attribute points: 0
Skill points: 4
Points: 76
Props: Scroll of basic skills of your choice
Skill Upgrade Scroll]
The points have returned to 76. If we go back and borrow a few points from Celia, we should be able to steadily maintain our position as the top player in the standings.
After exiting the system, Ian looked at Prince Hazan who had stood up beside him and let his servant help check A's situation.
He knew that the first act of today's big drama was finally about to begin... This was the first act, and the one just before the meal was just dessert.
After checking the armor, Hazan picked up his warhammer and boarded the fighting platform in person. While he still had several acting warriors alive, he decided to go on the field in person to fight against Suda Tetrus, which undoubtedly gave him It brought great honor, not only the nobles on Hazan's side, but also the nobles on Suda's side all cheered for him at this moment.
Of course, what they didn't know was that this was part of Hazan's plan.
"I, Prince Hazan Moglis of Pentos, challenge Suda Tetrus today!" Hazan on the battlefield pointed a finger at Suda, who was also on the battlefield, " I don’t have to kill you today, but you must kneel down and surrender to me! And swear to the Red God to stay away from my fiancée in the future.”
humiliation.
The cheers and applause suddenly stopped, and the whole place fell silent.
No one thought that Hazan would choose to humiliate Suda on such an occasion.
Although the power of Pentos is controlled by the Governor's Council and the Grand Council, legally, Pentos is the Pentos of the citizens of Pentos.
The ceremonial ruler of Pentos, the prince, is a title based on the Common Language translation. According to the tradition of Pentos, this position should be called the 'first citizen'. ’
The citizens of Pentos are free, and asking them to kneel is tantamount to mocking them as slaves.
And just now, Hazan told a noble Pentos noble to kneel down. This was not only an insult to Suda, but to the entire Tetrus family.
"Ah!" Suda was indeed angered on the spot. He weighed the battle ax in his hand and rushed straight to Hazan, "I will kill you today!"
And Hazan did not evade, but waved the weapon in his hand head-on and fought with Suda.
After a while, Hazan successfully suppressed Suda.
On the battlefield, the long-handled hammer in Hazan's hand was swung round like a spear. Suda was soon forced into a corner by him. Hazan's attacks again and again seemed exquisite, and Suda could only parry under pressure. And no longer able to organize a counterattack.
Hazan deliberately hit the shield raised by Suda with one hammer after another. Suda let out a groan every time he received an attack, and his hand holding the shield could not stop shaking.
After a while, Suda showed his flaws and was hammered over by Hazan several times. His screams were so harsh that Ian could hear them on the high platform more than ten meters away from the battle platform. He could imagine the extent of his injuries.
But he still gritted his teeth and stood up quickly every time he fell. He held the shield in front of his chest and did not admit defeat. Hazan seemed to be in no hurry to win, but continued to humiliate Su. Da.
"Kneel down and swear surrender to me!" Hazan kept repeating this sentence again and again.
Finally, Guerrero Tetrus, who was in the stands on the other side, couldn't help but stand up. He clenched his hands into fists and left the table angrily after leaving a few instructions to the servants.
After a while, Governor Tetrus' servant came to the stands on Ian's side and announced to Governor Godin Howcott who was sitting behind Ian:
"His Excellency Guerrero Tetrus requested that the Great Council be convened immediately, and Prince Hazan was required to go to the Palace of Parliament within today to explain and publicly apologize for humiliating the Tetrus family, otherwise war will be inevitable."
After saying this, the servant left in a hurry, as if he was worried that his life would be in danger if he continued to stay in this hostile place.
And just after Governor Tetrus left the table, Hazan seemed to have finally lost interest in playing with Suda. He knocked over Suda whose hands were almost shattered with a hammer, stepped forward and stepped on his visor. .
Hazan still held the hammer with both hands. He first smashed the knee of Suda's right leg, which was lying on the ground, with one hammer, and then broke the opponent's left leg with another hammer.
"I will give you one last chance to swear surrender to me!" Hazan roared.
However, there was only a dying, mocking laughter coming from under his feet.
"Kill me!" The voice coming from Suda's throat was blurry, but Hazan could still understand his mouth shape, "Kill me!"
"No," Hazan shook his head at him and mouthed the same response, "That was not part of the plan."
Afterwards, Hazan ignored Suda and left the fighting platform, leaving Suda lying there with his limbs crippled.
Suda was like a specimen at this moment, displaying the shame of the Tetrus family.
