Chapter 1604: Court Duel

Wang Chengen did not say a word on the way, and followed the envoys to the palace of Esibania before announcing the purpose of his trip. He sternly questioned Esibania's massacre of the Luzon Daming people, and told them, All the forces of Sibania in Southeast Asia were uprooted by Daming, and now Philip IV is required to severely punish those murderers who returned home and make compensation to Daming.

The smile on Philip IV's face froze. Although he couldn't understand Wang Chengen's words, he could tell from Wang Chengen's expression that this was definitely not a good thing; the missionaries in charge of translation didn't even dare to translate Wang Chengen's words, but it didn't matter. On the way, Wang Chengen had already learned the Sibanian language. Seeing that he was silent, he spoke it himself in the Sibanian language.

At this moment, Philip IV was furious. He didn't expect that Ming's envoy came to ask for a crime. What made him even more angry was that Sibania's power in Southeast Asia was completely lost; When money is needed, the money provided by the Southeast Asian colonies to Esybania is an important source of income. If this income is directly cleared, Esybania is not far from the next bankruptcy.

Today, not only noble officials from their own country, but also envoys from other European countries appeared in the palace of Esibania today. Philip IV invited them to come here to show off, but he did not expect to expose Esibania Although there was no expression on the faces of those messengers, there were smiles that could not be concealed in their eyes.

Now the continent of Europe is in a mess, and many countries have deep conflicts with Essibania, especially the envoys of France and other countries, who almost laughed out loud.

Philip IV was not even aware of the massacre that took place in Luzon, because this place was too far away from the mainland of Esibania, but he would never admit that it was the fault of Esibania, and he sternly refuted Wang Chengen In turn, he asked Daming to demand compensation, and asked Daming to release all Western Banian colonists.

"Hehe, those executioners are already dead, and Akula and others have been escorted to the capital of Ming Dynasty. They will be punished more severely." Wang Chengen replied with a sneer.

In the palace, several nobles suddenly fainted. Some of their families also served in the Governor's Mansion of Luzon. I also invested a lot of money in Luzon, and now it seems that all the money has been wasted.

Ah, Essibania's power in Southeast Asia is not considered weak, but it was completely annihilated by Ming like this? So it seems that we have to re-evaluate the power of this big eastern country. So, is there a chance to introduce them into this war that does not know when it will end? Diplomats from some other countries are already thinking about it.

"You will pay the price!" Philip IV roared angrily, but all the diplomats in the court knew that Philip IV was just shouting, and Sibania is now unable to launch an expedition to the East. After all, now is not the time for the Armada to rampage across the ocean.

"If Sibania doesn't punish those executioners who committed unforgivable crimes in Luzon, and doesn't make compensation to Daming, you will pay the price immediately!" Wang Chengen didn't show any weakness, and unceremoniously turned back.

At this moment, Philip IV was a little bit unable to step down. He gave his subjects a look, and Diego Ararat, a master swordsman at the court in Sibania and who had never failed in previous duels, Rist stood up, walked up to Wang Chengen, and threw a white handkerchief in front of Wang Chengen.

This is the expression of the Western nobles starting a duel. Seeing Diego-Alatrist's invitation to a duel to Wang Chengen, cheers erupted in the court, especially those noble ladies, all of whom blushed with excitement.

Because Diego Alatrist is a well-known duel master in Sibania, he has won the favor of one noble woman after another with his outstanding swordsmanship, it is a rare opportunity to see his swordsmanship matter.

When Wang Chengen was on the boat, he had already learned this understanding from the missionaries. He smiled ironically, shook his head and said, "It's really a barbaric custom."

These words were spoken in Sibanian, which immediately angered all the European nobles present. They hissed loudly. Diego Alatrist asked, "What? Are you afraid? If you dare not Accept the duel, then apologize?"

Wang Chengen grasped the hilt of his sword, intending to agree to his invitation to a duel, but soon someone stood up, Fei Mao, the youngest evil eunuch in the team, stepped forward and said, "My lord, how can you kill a chicken with a ox knife? let me go!"

After he finished speaking, he drew out his long sword, and seeing the gorgeous clothes on his body, these Europeans thought he should also be a nobleman, so they didn't question his qualifications, and stepped back a little, leaving them the opportunity to duel. space.

Diego Alatrist also pulled out his own long sword, which is a swift sword popular in Sibania, with a slender blade and complicated guard, it is a weapon specially designed for stabbing , with the development of medicine, the Sibanians have been able to discover that penetrating wounds are often more fatal than chopping wounds.

As a result, they developed the swift sword weapon and the accompanying sword technique, which is called "La Verdadera Destreza" in Hibernian, and is based on a circular pattern called the Marychesky circle. , which is full of complex geometric lines, every move, every attack and defense, is carried out according to the calculated line, and strives to hit the opponent at the fastest speed at the most ingenious angle without being hit by the opponent. middle.

"Interesting weapon!" Fei Mao saw the strengths of this weapon at a glance, and it was slightly similar to the evil swordsmanship he practiced, so he didn't start attacking immediately, but observed Diego Ararat with great interest. Rist's attack; the chief one-on-one master of Sibania performed the perfect supreme technique, every stab and every step was exquisite, and immediately won the applause of the nobles on the scene.

Fer Mao didn't make a single move, and just used his steps to avoid all his attacks. Every time Diego Alatrist seemed to be only a little away from winning, but he couldn't attack Fer Mao just by a centimeter or two. .

"Not bad swordsmanship, but you are too slow! Come and see my swordsmanship now!"
