When many people eat together, they sit in a circle, with the most influential person in the middle...whether he excels others in skill in battle, noble birth, or wealth...as the hindquarters of an animal When the portion is served, the bravest hero will get the best piece of meat from the hind leg. If another person also claims that he deserves that piece of meat, the two of them will stand up and fight until one of them is killed. Until death.
——Book 4 of "Atnaos"
William also wanted to say something to Lily. On the Colosseum, with everyone watching and expecting, Liam and Francis, wearing silver-white armor, had already begun to take the stage.
The last king of the Kingdom of Erin, the prince of the dwarves, a second-level warrior who enjoys the title of "escape from battle", faced off against Francis, the dragon-slaying warrior from the Holy Roman Empire, a second-level heroic warrior.
Destiny's favor never only favors one person, such as Finn, such as Diarmuid. Every hero of the Fiona Warriors is the absolute protagonist in his own life story.
Therefore, if you want to be the protagonist among the protagonists, the core of the heroes, the hero must have the largest share.
The lion king in the pride usually never participates in hunting, but the lion king is qualified to be the first to taste the prey and enjoy the fattest part of the prey's body. Heroes are like lions, willing to risk their lives in order to fight for the fattest wild boar hind legs.
The hero who can enjoy the best piece of meat must be the most outstanding and powerful among all heroes. The most outstanding and powerful hero will inevitably become the leader of the hero group and can also have the strongest favor of fate.
This is a ritual in which the winner will gain glory, status and power, while the loser will also be deprived of the favor of fate.
Liam and Francis drew out their swords at the same time. The long swords shone with holy brilliance. They were so similar in appearance and power. Both of them used secondary weapons of the Holy Sword of Dawn.
The secondary weapons of the Holy Sword of Dawn are all over the street, but to be able to use the power of the Holy Sword and make the secondary weapons powerful in rituals and battles, special qualifications are required. Francis's qualifications come from the blessing of the Archbishop of Rhine. No matter what weapon he holds, it can be regarded as the Holy Sword of Dawn, and Liam, as the protector of the holder of the Holy Sword (William), is also qualified to use the Holy Sword.
"Liam, aren't you planning to run away this time?" Francis called loudly, there was no mockery in his tone, his eyes were full of seriousness, "I will never show mercy, and you don't have to show mercy either. Let the fate of both of us decide whether we live or die."
Francis originally wanted to leave his fate to God, but in the end he changed his mind in time. Destiny is supreme. In mythology, even the god Zeus, the great god Odin, and the Celtic gods cannot disobey it. However, in the Christian system, God's will is the most powerful, and even fate must yield to God. will.
The ancient gods are part of the world, so the gods must obey the will (fate) of the world, while God is transcendent from the world and is the creator of the world, so the will (fate) of the world must obey God's arrangements.
"God is on my side, Francis."
Liam laughed and said, then showed a surprised expression on his face, looking ahead with horror and said, "Michael, the Archangel Michael has appeared!"
"What, Archangel Michael!"
Francis panicked and turned his head to look into the distance. As a convert, he was still very panicked when he heard the angel's name.
"The good opportunity is now!"
After Liam finished speaking, he unexpectedly threw the spear he was carrying behind him. With a "whoosh" sound, red flames burned on the spear, piercing the sky like a sharp arrow and heading directly towards France. It hit Si's head.
Liam's movements were fast, accurate and ruthless, and his answers when Francis spoke were even more unexpected. Although compared to Francis' age, he was already an old-timer, but old-timers do not talk about martial ethics. His ability is not inferior to that of young people.
"mean!"
In the stands of the Roman Coliseum, many spectators gave Liam a thumbs-up and sighed, feeling disdainful of Liam's unexpected sneak attack. Of course, no one thought that Francis had a chance to make a comeback. .
With one shot to the head, Liam seemed to have won.
Francis fell heavily to the ground, and the spear pierced his head directly, splashing dust on the ground. The tall body fell to the ground like a mountain falling. Mr. Green, who was sitting in the audience seat, widened his eyes. Looking at this scene, the expression on his face was full of horror.
No way, Francis is a dragon-slaying hero no matter what, and he is also a leader among the first-level knights. He would not have been shot in the head just as he opened his mouth to speak.
"This, this, this..." William was speechless in surprise. Although Liam's move was a sneak attack, it was really surprising that Francis died like this. .
Although Francis was ridiculed as a parallel hero, his water was a crushing advantage over other people compared to the evil dragon.
"It seems that Francis' winning rate has increased a lot."
Lily looked at the astonishing scene on the field and said shocking words. Francis looked completely chilled, but Lily actually said that Francis had a higher chance of winning.
"William, don't you really know where Liam's winning rate has decreased? It's not swordsmanship, strength, speed, or skill, but momentum. As long as you have the momentum to suppress the opponent, you have nothing to fear and rely on wisdom. Fighting to protect yourself is not true courage, because you lack the momentum to give it a try, so how can you defeat the enemy." Lily seemed to see William's doubtful comment.
"As you said, the powerful is the great, the winner is not criticized, and strategy is also a part of strength." William retorted, he did not like Lily's condescending attitude.
"It seems so easy to win by using conspiracy. In fact, there are more than one war in life. The more you use it, the more you rely on it, and the pattern is here. Such a hero cannot pass the test of fate, because insidious means will The blame falls on humans and gods, so heroes like Finn will end badly."
Lily chuckled and said, looking at William with scrutiny in her eyes, "I know what you want to say, but if you are greedy for life, you will be shrouded by the terror of death, and you will slide further and further into the abyss of darkness. The darker the darkness. The deeper you go, the less you will be able to see the enemy's shadow, and instead you will be exposed to the enemy's swords and guns."
"The difference between humans and animals is that animals never know that they are destined to die, but humans know it from the beginning. Heroes who fight on the battlefield also know their destiny. If you can survive in death, then you can naturally Defeat an enemy who cannot overcome his fear and gain a victorious destiny.”
William frowned. He admitted that what Lily said made sense, but wasn't the question already cold?
"Francis has obtained a dragon egg and bathed in dragon blood. A true brave man should always strive to surpass his own limits. With the momentum of going forward indomitably, I will be the best in the world. This is the real promotion."
After Lily finished speaking, Francis, who had fallen to the ground, pulled out the spear on his forehead with his hand and stood up again.
The corner of William's mouth twitched, his pot, he made a wish with the magic lamp, strengthened the evil dragon, and now Francis is also strengthened.
Otherwise, there is only the second level, Francis who killed the dragon egg and applied the dragon egg liquid to have a hairy and indestructible body.
