Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1425

The flames started behind Isaac, burning the documents and setting the tent on fire.

By the light of the fire, Viola could clearly see that a dozen cavalrymen led by Isaac were standing there.

She immediately issued an order, and the other cavalry continued to clear out the remaining soldiers. Viola led the guards to slow down from their charge and stopped in front of the burning headquarters.

"You are... Isaac? I didn't expect you to be the commander of this unit."

"His Majesty."

Isaac bowed his head and said:

"I never thought that I would have the opportunity to command an army. I am honored that you still remember me."

"I will not forget every respectable opponent."

Viola actually thinks highly of Isaac. The first time they fought was when they were supporting Count Fran. (See Chapter 181 for details)
If it weren't for Wendy's good command, and if Li Chengxi hadn't observed from above and reported to Viola, she and her then very weak army would not have been able to complete the rescue mission, and even the possibility of a complete retreat would have been in doubt.

But it was precisely because of the high evaluation that Viola said, "I didn't expect that you were the commander of this army." After all, Viola felt that with Isaac's ability, it was impossible for him to fight so badly.

There was inevitably a hint of disappointment in her eyes, which Isaac noticed, but he forced himself to suppress the thought of arguing.

As mentioned before, the young and energetic Isaac is dead, and the current Isaac is carrying an important mission.

"Let's stop chatting here, Your Majesty. I would like to apply for a one-on-one duel with you according to the ancient rules of chivalry!"

The holy aura still shone faintly on Viola's body. The time limit for the chosen one had not yet expired. Moreover, everyone knew that the eyes of the Demon God were fixed upon them.

There was no way Isaac could win.

If you request a duel, there will be no possibility of capture, because the rule of a duel is that it can only end when one party dies.

If Isaac did not request a duel, he would at most be captured.

Viola looked into Isaac's eyes and sensed the determination in them.

Refusing to accept the duel would be an insult to a knight.

Although Viola is a princess, she hates skirts and high heels since she was a child and has received a complete chivalrous education since childhood.

So when she sees another knight, she will not consider the gains and losses from the perspective of a counselor, but will act according to the principles of a knight.

"I accept your challenge."

Viola would accept it, Isaac knew.

And precisely because he knew this, Isaac felt like a piece was missing in his heart. He knew that he had not only lost his reputation as a general, but also his honor as a knight.

If it were in the past, this would be something Isaac would never tolerate, but the same thing applies now. The young and energetic Isaac is dead.

The dead need no honor.

The two men separated from their personal guards, rode their horses and paced slowly, always facing each other.

Viola took the lance and shield handed to her by the guards and threw the helmet back.

In a real knight duel, there is no need for a helmet. Although it can save the knight's life at a critical moment, it will hinder the knight from winning.

To outsiders, Viola seems to be schizophrenic. On the one hand, as a commander, she is flexible and tenacious when commanding soldiers. On the other hand, as a knight, she is very classical and follows the chivalric doctrine.

And she does a good job of switching between these two aspects, neither pedantic nor mean.

Isaac finally understood until now that his grandfather had no resentment when he died, because he died in an upright duel with a knight, which was the best fate for a knight, far more glorious than dying in bed from a weak illness. The two men took their positions and raised their super-long lances.

"Your Majesty, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"If possible, I don't want it to end this way."

"Oh, who can predict fate? Even the gods who are high above are just playthings of fate."

Viola heard that there seemed to be something hidden in Isaac's words, but before Viola could ask, the guards of both sides blew the horns at the same time.

This is the signal to start.

Viola had to concentrate, and they both tapped the horses' bellies at the same time, and the two horses began to charge towards each other.

Their speed was getting faster and faster, and the tips of their spears rose and fell with the horses' backs, but both men's hands were steady, holding the spears tightly.

They charged forward wearing heavy armor and were as strong as iron. Even if the tip of the lance was blunt, they would still die on the spot if hit in the vitals. Many knights died in such duels.

But neither of them had any fear, they stared at each other, getting closer and closer.

Almost at the moment of reaching the attack distance, the two men moved their spears at the same time. The heavy lances could not pierce like ordinary spears, so their movements were just slight adjustments.

Often, the life and death of a knight is decided in this tiny adjustment.

Two loud bangs occurred almost simultaneously. The lance was intentionally designed to be easy to explode and break. In addition to having a great visual effect in the arena, this could also prevent the lance from placing a burden on the user's arm after hitting the target, which might even push the user off the horse.

So, who wins?
The two horses carried the two people passing each other quickly. Viola pulled the reins, turned the horse around, and threw away the exploded lance.

At that moment just now, Viola aimed at Isaac's chest, and Isaac aimed at Viola's left shoulder, but the tips of both guns were blocked by their respective shields.

It was a split-second judgment, and both sides knew that if they didn't use shields, they would be knocked off their horses.

In other words, both of them chose to be conservative.

Isaac also threw away his exploded lance, drew the long sword from his waist, and rode up again.

Viola was equally unwilling to be outdone. She drew out her magic sword called Scarlet Fang and rode forward to meet the enemy.

The lance is powerful and the outcome is often decided in a split second. But precisely because of this characteristic, it is that split second that you need to be careful.

But two people are riding horses and wielding swords, so you need to be careful at all times.

The collision between the sword edges is more like the collision of two people's wills and sweat. You can feel the other person's thoughts, his will, and his persistence from his sword.

Generally speaking, an ordinary longsword would be destroyed almost instantly when it clashed with an enchanted weapon. However, the longsword Isaac used was not a random longsword found in a blacksmith shop. The sword with a tiger head emblem on the guard was the sword of Isaac's grandfather, the Tiger of the Kingdom. It was also a gift from the Demon King of the Subia Demon Kingdom when the Tiger of the Kingdom got this title.

It represents the glory of Grandpa Isaac and his life of military service.

Isaac waved it around, feeling ashamed.

He was unworthy of possessing the sword, let alone using it in an honorable knightly duel.

Thoughts will be transmitted to the opponent's mind along with the sword. Viola felt that Isaac's will seemed to be wrong. It was not the firm belief possessed by a desperate knight. It was more like a feeling of success, but a sense of guilt in the heart.

"How dare you desecrate the sacred duel!"

Viola, furious.
