Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

The Holy Grail Knight did not take action immediately, but took a quick look around first. After noticing a few beastmen who had taken off their hats and the beast ears on their heads, the Holy Grail Knight showed a look of understanding.

"It seems that you have changed not only in appearance, but also in your brain." The Holy Grail Knight said in a tone that sounded like praise and mockery. "You know how to use strategies now."

"Well done, you deserve praise." The Holy Grail Knight applauded. "Your plan would have almost succeeded, if I hadn't been here."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is George Morgan, and I am a Holy Grail Knight serving the Lady of the Lake and the Duke of Aquitaine." The Holy Grail Knight drew his sword and took a fighting stance. "Give up resistance, filthy beasts. As long as you give up resistance, I promise in the name of the Lady of the Lake that I will give you a painless death."

"Fuck your Lady of the Lake!" The first person to react was Tyke, who had a blood feud with the knights here. He roared, waving his iron claws, and attacked the Holy Grail Knight George.

"A very special weapon." George held the sword in one hand and put the other hand behind his back, with a posture that had no sense of fighting at all, but more like a duel, and collided with Tek's iron claws.

"Is there still magic?" After the sword and claws intersected several times, Tek activated the cutting rune on the iron claws. The iron claws instantly became extremely sharp and slashed towards George fiercely.

Seeing that George's sword was about to be destroyed by the iron claw, George suddenly changed his tactics. With a nimble movement that no one present could see clearly, he dodged Tek's iron claw, then swung his sword and slashed at Tek's side waist.

"Woooooo!" Tek's waist was chopped, and blood immediately flew everywhere. Just as George was about to make an extra effort to cut Tek in half, George suddenly felt something in his heart, put away his sword and changed his moves, blocking the dagger that was stabbing towards his kidney by a hair's breadth.

"Miss Beastman, sneak attack is not an honorable act." George said a little angrily, and then he chopped with extremely swift movements, beating Judy, who was attacking by sneak attack, back step by step, making it difficult for her to defend herself.

Soon Judy's dagger was knocked away. Just as George's sword was about to turn like a windmill and cut towards Judy's neck, a magic sword blocked George's attack.

"Please come one by one during the battle." George said helplessly. "But it's unrealistic to expect you beastmen to know what etiquette is."

"You mean the code of chivalry?" It was Lind who was holding the magic sword. Their swords crossed and neither of them gave in.

"You actually know the code of chivalry?" George was obviously stunned.

"Of course I know." Linde sneered. "Humility, honesty, mercy, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul, these are the eight principles of your knights, right?"

"Indeed." George narrowed his eyes and looked at Lind. "How did you know?"

"It doesn't matter. What matters is... I challenge you to a sacred duel!" Lind shouted at George.

"You actually know about the sacred duel!" George's eyes were filled with more surprise. A filthy and barbaric beastman not only knew the code of chivalry, but also knew about the sacred duel! ?

"What? Is it weird?" Lind continued to grin. "Then will you accept it or not? Holy Grail Knight?"

"...I don't know where you got all this from though." George's face was uncertain, and he pushed Lind away with force. "I accept your challenge."

In the Bartolan chivalric code, if the enemy challenges a knight on the battlefield, the knight must accept it, otherwise he will be considered to have betrayed the chivalric code. If it is other knights, they can ignore the challenge if there are no friendly troops present, but the Holy Grail Knight cannot, because every Holy Grail Knight is watched by the Lady of the Lake.

The enemy initiated a sacred duel, which made George, who was in the upper hand, feel a little aggrieved. Accepting the duel meant that he could not attack other enemies before defeating his opponent, and now was the time to hurry.

But George had no choice. The code of chivalry required him to accept the challenge of his enemy.

After the other party accepted the challenge, Linde also breathed a sigh of relief. Just from the short battle just now, there was no doubt that if the other party was allowed to use all his strength, most of the people on his ship would be defeated.

But then, Lind's heart began to hang in the air, because he was no match for him either!

(It doesn’t matter, just keep calm. My cheap father was able to beat him, and I can already beat my father’s shadow, so there is still hope that I can beat him.) Lind kept encouraging himself in his heart.

"Since you challenge me to a holy duel..." George held the sword in front of him. "Tell me your name, Beastman."

"...Linde Hunt." After a slight hesitation, Linde gave his real name.

"Linde... Hunter!?" George's eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected answer. "Are you from the Hunter family!?"

"That's right." Linde smiled slightly.

"…What is your relationship with Kong Nan Hunter?"

"He is my biological father, I guess."

"No wonder Lord Kong Nan never married."

Chapter 377 Descendants of the Old Ones

Kongnan Hunter, Lindnati's cheap father who refused to acknowledge his guilt, was a famous knight of the Holy Empire, with superb martial arts and undefeated battles.

Kongnan's fame not only spread to the Holy Empire but also to other countries. The neighboring country of knights, Batoran, had naturally heard of the name of Kongnan who never fell off his horse.

As the top combat unit of Batoran, the Holy Grail Knights had of course fought with Kong Nan. Kong Nan had fought with more than one Holy Grail Knight during his lifetime, including George Morgan in front of Lind.

Linde's father Kong Nan also defeated George in the end, although the process was difficult. Linde was also present at that competition, so he had a more intuitive understanding of George's strength.

After hearing Lind call out Kong Nan's name, George's eyes became serious, even respectful.

"...You do look a bit like Kong Nan." After hearing Lind claim to be Kong Nan's son, George also looked at Lind's face carefully. Although there was still camouflage mud on Lind's face, it was enough for George to see the similarities between Lind and Kong Nan.

"Although it's hard to believe, I believe you are indeed the descendant of Kong Nan." George said, with a hint of sarcasm on his face. "I didn't expect that Kong Nan, who never falls off his horse, would have a descendant of a beastman..."

The Holy Grail Knights were highly skilled in martial arts and would always remember the opponents who had defeated them. However, at this moment, George seemed to have misunderstood something.

"As far as I know, Kong Nan has never been married in his life, even though so many noble ladies have proposed to him." George's expression became more and more strange as he spoke. "I didn't expect he would be so fond of this."

Lind was sure that he had definitely misunderstood something, but Lind had no interest in correcting it.

"Your father is the knight I respect the most." After knowing that Linde was the son of Kong Nan, who had defeated him before, George's attitude changed significantly. "Your father once defeated me. Although you are a beastman and of filthy blood, I will give you due respect for your father's sake."

George really misunderstood something. He must have thought that Linde was the result of Kong Nan having sex with a female beastman.

But it was just a misunderstanding. Lind had no good feelings towards his father who took advantage of him, especially his humanoid self-propelled artillery character.

Why did his father remain unmarried? When George reminded him, Lind realized why his father remained unmarried.

Havoise, Linde instinctively thought of his aunt who had exiled him to the island of Ivozhen.

George saluted Lind very solemnly. Seeing this, Lind could only bite his head and make the same gesture in return.

The injured Tek had been taken away for treatment by others. Everyone was looking at the two with bated breath, except Ranna, who was concentrating on controlling the boat while waiting for an opportunity.

While Lind was saluting, he was roaring in his heart and shaking people around.

(Mom! And His Majesty the Divine Emperor! If you have any blessings, please bless me now! I’m about to fight the Holy Grail Knight! If you don’t want me to die, bless me now!)

(You know to call me mom at this time!?) The voice of Earth Mother Amora sounded first, and then a wave of heat came from the Holy Mark of Earth Mother on Lind’s chest.

Although the Divine Emperor Neos did not speak, Lind felt the power surge up from the stigmata of the hammer on the back of his hand.

Facing the threat of the Holy Grail Knight, Lind took the initiative to pray to God for the first time, and the two gods did not hesitate to respond to Lind. Strength surged out from the two holy marks on his body, making Lind feel full of strength.

In addition to the Mother Goddess and the Emperor God, there seemed to be other voices talking, but they were all ignored by Lind who had long been accustomed to it.

George also felt that something seemed to have changed in Lind's body, and his brows frowned slightly.

"Are you ready?" George asked Linde.

"Ready."

"Do you need to give orders?"

"unnecessary."

Confidence, or rather, strict adherence to the chivalric code, prevented George from taking direct action. In the past, Lind would have called this behavior pedantic, but now Lind had to hope that the other party was a little more pedantic.

After hearing Lind say that there was no need to give orders, George smiled, then suddenly swung the sword in his hand and slashed at Lind from bottom to top.

The opponent's speed was very fast, but Lind still saw the opponent's attack clearly, raised the magic sword in time, and blocked the opponent's attack.

"Good reaction, you are worthy of being Kong Nan's son." George praised Lind after missing the shot. "But can you still keep up with my speed?"

As he spoke, George continued to attack, swinging the knight's sword in his hand so hard that it almost left an afterimage.

Lind continued to deal with the opponent's attacks. Although it was a bit difficult, he could still keep up.

It is generally acknowledged that the Holy Grail Knights of Batoran are all superhumans, and Lind has also seen the fighting methods of the Holy Grail Knights with his own eyes, but the feeling of watching from a bystander's perspective is completely different from experiencing it personally.

With the blessing of the two gods, Lind was still able to keep up with George's movements, but it was different for the others. The beastmen present were all stunned, watching the battle in which the two movements were almost leaving afterimages.

"Hey, she-wolf, can you see their fight clearly?" Judy asked Fenrir beside her, holding a mace in her hand.

"I can see it clearly, but I can't keep up." Fenrir clenched his fists and said unwillingly.

"You can still see clearly, but I can't even see the shadow of that guy." Judy said through clenched teeth, the hammer in her hand was eager to try, she really wanted to hammer George on the head, but the little rabbit knew very well that she couldn't do it.

All the beastmen present were extremely anxious. They wanted to help but couldn't, so they could only be anxious bystanders, praying in their hearts that the Son of God would win. However, judging from the fact that the Son of God had been on the defensive, the hope of victory was not great.

At this moment, all the beastmen truly understood why the Son of God cared so much about this man called the Holy Grail Knight. A Holy Grail Knight could destroy a tribe of beastmen, and the Son of God was not exaggerating at all.

"Not bad, not bad. You are worthy of your father's bloodline for being able to hold on to this extent." After Lind blocked all of his tentative attacks, George also became interested. "I wonder how fast you can keep up with me?"

Among the people present, Ranna was the one who had been concentrating on steering the boat. Their destination was the village camp to the east, but in addition to steering the boat, Ranna was also looking for opportunities to help.

Chapter 378 Secret Trick

Who is the most powerful warrior? This question is truly a thousand different answers for a thousand people. But if you fine-tune the question and ask which profession has the strongest combat power, almost everyone will give the same answer: the Holy Grail Knight of Batoran.

To become a Holy Grail Knight, the knight must first hone his martial arts to perfection, and then embark on a difficult journey to find the Holy Grail. Over a long period of time, the knight must pass various harsh tests, cross mountains and ridges, and go deep into various dangerous places before he can gain the recognition of the Lady of the Lake and be qualified to drink the Holy Water of the Lady of the Lake.

The moment one drinks the holy water, the body that has been tempered to the extreme will be further strengthened, turning the Holy Grail Knight into an undoubted superman.

The ultimate human warrior, the Holy Grail Knight is worthy of the title. Not considering special individuals, but only considering the professional group, the Holy Grail Knight is recognized as the strongest human soldier, and now, Lind is facing the ultimate human warrior.

"Not bad, not bad, you are worthy of your father's bloodline." George kept swinging the sword in his hand, his movements were swift and graceful. "Although you are just a beastman, your strength is worthy of your father's bloodline."

Linde knew very well that he was not as strong as his opponent and he had little chance of winning if he fought head-on, so he adopted a defensive strategy. After a tentative attack at the beginning, George had already recognized Linde's identity as Kongnan's son.

"Since I lost to your father, I have been honing my swordsmanship so that I can beat your father one day, but unfortunately, he died, poisoned by his illegitimate son." George paused during the break in the fight. "As his descendant, I sincerely hoped that you would not be too bad, and I was not disappointed."

"Although you are a beastman, you are still worthy of your father's bloodline."

Linde was stunned by George's words. Although he was powerful, his brain seemed...

In order to maintain uniform dress, Lind also wore a hat like other beastmen, and he had not taken it off yet. George therefore concluded that Lind was also a beastman.

Linde felt that this guy's brain was a little slow.

"Poisoned by a bastard?" Linde frowned. "What do you mean?"

"You still don't know about your father's death?" George raised his hand and pounded his chest. "Your father has been poisoned to death by one of his illegitimate sons."

Linde's eyes widened in surprise. His father was poisoned to death. During a martial arts competition, his gloves were poisoned and he died by wiping his mouth with poison. But the murderer has not been caught!

This was an unsolved case until I was exiled. How come I was identified as the murderer after I left?!

"Where did you hear that?" Lind asked.

"That's what Kong Nan's sister, the current Duchess of Held, Havoise, said," George replied.

Havoise, his father's sister and his aunt, was also the one who exiled him.

When I think of this aunt, some special memories come to mind.

Linde has some ambivalence towards this aunt. On the one hand, during his childhood, Havoise played a mother-like role to a certain extent, although not a qualified one. On the other hand, Havoise was the one who exiled him after Kongnan's death.

As he recalled, Havoise exiled himself, and the ostensible reason was that he was suspected of murdering Kong Nan. As he was responsible for maintaining the equipment, he was indeed the person who was most likely to come into contact with the gloves. However, in the end, due to lack of evidence, he was not convicted as the murderer.

After exiling herself, did the woman announce to the public that she was the murderer of the former Duke?

Linde felt mixed emotions at once.

"I'm deeply sorry for your father's death." George bowed to Lind and raised his sword again. "However, the duel must continue. When the rest is over, please prepare to die."

"...Have you ever asked what the illegitimate child who killed Kong Nan was called?" Lind assumed a fighting stance again.

"No, the beautiful Duchess has been given the punishment she deserves. I don't need to know his name." George said, holding up his sword.

"We've wasted a lot of time." George tightened his grip on his sword, ready to make the final blow. "It's time to get going, Lind Hunter!"

This guy, didn't he even ask his name? Linde didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but now was not the time to delve into these issues, because the opponent's killer move was coming.

George's time was limited originally, and it was not the time for him to play casually. However, since his opponent was the son of an unexpected old friend, George made an exception and played for a while longer.

But now, George is serious about it and wants to end this battle as quickly as possible.

George raised the sword above his head, stood with his legs one in front of the other, and locked his eyes on Lind's body like a sharp sword, ready to kill him with one blow.

After seeing the other party's actions, Linde was stunned for a moment, and then he was delighted.

I recognize this move! He used it when he fought with my father!

George also noticed Lind's reaction and was obviously stunned for a moment, but George didn't have time to think about it.

"For the Lady of the Lake!" George shouted, and rushed forward suddenly, holding the knight's sword high and slashing at Lind's thigh from top to bottom at an extremely fast speed.

Under normal circumstances, the subconscious reaction to this move is to defend with the sword, but Lind knew that if he did so, the opponent would be suddenly subjected to force at the moment when he exerted force, causing his sword to rise up, and then the middle door would be wide open, and George would counterattack with a sword to kill the opponent.

This move is George's killer move, or his ultimate move.

“The so-called ultimate move is actually to kill the opponent without the enemy knowing what the move looks like. As long as everyone who has seen it once is dead, it will not be cracked.” This is what Kong Nan taught Lin De before he died.

Fortunately, Lind knew what George's trick looked like because he had used it on Kong Nan.
