Although he was restrained in a cage, under Lothar's orders, Wu Ping was not abused. Apart from being a little depressed, there were no obvious injuries on his body. ※%,

In front of the most powerful people in the human kingdom, the young man once again reiterated his words that he had not changed in the face of all kinds of coercion and inducement these days.

That night, General Bigras faced the orcs' surprise attack and sent himself to sound the alarm and light the smoke, while the general led the remaining people to defend the control center.

If you can't keep it, destroy the mechanism.

When Wu Ping relied on the martial arts he had acquired through hard training since childhood to defeat powerful enemies and complete his mission, leading reinforcements to rescue Bigglas Bertone, Thoradin's gate fell and the orc army that had been prepared rushed into the corridor.

The only good thing is that the defense facilities in the corridor played their due role. With sufficient preparation, the defenders of Thoradin's Wall withstood the first wave of orcs' attack with difficulty.

Although the defense line was once lost, the warriors guarding Thoradin's Wall fought tenaciously and repeatedly retaken the position. The human defenders even blocked the corridor entrance with corpses.

Wu Ping led reinforcements to meet Bigras, but found that in the central control room, the city gate lock had been opened and the opening device of the defense equipment had been destroyed.

The corpses of his comrades were scattered all over the central control room, but General Biglas was nowhere to be seen, neither alive nor dead.

But after putting down the locks of the five iron valves in the corridor, they were blocked by [Troll Killer] Tokaral.

Later, Wu Ping and others tried their best to pull out Biglas' legendary sword from the two stuck gears and lowered the iron gate, which gave the defenders a chance to breathe and provided valuable information for the alliance to regroup.

time.

Wu Ping explained the facts he knew in a calm and calm manner.

Then Carlos couldn't help but laugh.

"Danas, these people accuse your father of treason just because Tokaral is stuck at the hub of the agency?"

But seeing everyone around him looking at him strangely, and Danas looking terrible, Carlos realized that there was something wrong with his habitual thinking.

The presumption of innocence is not popular in this damn era. The disappearance of a general and the evidence of a legendary sword are really enough to convict someone.

"Didn't you ask a mage to use the [Undead Slayer]'s weapon spirit to trace what happened? This is too unmagical."

Carlos changed the subject decisively.

Seeing the people around him talking, Carlos breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not embarrassed.

"However, Your Majesty Carlos, unfortunately, communicating with weapon spirits is not as simple as you think. I am afraid that only the elves of Quel'Thalas or Master Antonidas have such strength. I can't do it.

."

Khadgar stood up and said.

As Lothar's magical advisor, he must defend Lothar.

"Carlos. Even Silvermoon City can't do much. Magical creations of legendary quality are themselves magical products supported by multiple disciplines. It's easy to communicate with the weapon spirit. If you want to ask for clarity from the tool spirit

It is not a simple matter to give an answer or check the memory of the weapon spirit."

Alleria's speech alleviated the embarrassment of the humans at the scene. It's not that we didn't think of it or were incompetent, but that even the elves found it difficult, so we should find another way.

However, when Carlos didn't arrive, there were so many smart people who couldn't argue with one, two, three, or four. Carlos, who was pretending to be a reckless man, came, and it was impossible to comment on five, six, seven, or eight.

At the end of the argument, Wu Ping spoke for himself.

"Your Majesty Carlos, can I ask you something?"

"you say."

"I stay here to accept the trial, on the one hand, for my own innocence, and on the other hand, for the reputation of General Biglas. But now, I am relieved that you and Marshal Lothar will uphold justice, and I am not worried about the general being imprisoned.

Someone framed me. So things became simpler. Some people said that I colluded with the tribe to murder the general. I asked the military judge that this crime can be petitioned for divine judgment. So, I would like to ask your majesty to act as my guarantor. I am willing to accept it.

Divine Judgment.”

After Wu Ping finished speaking, the entire venue was silent.

"But your current state..."

Carlos couldn't help but frown.

The so-called divine judgment is, to put it bluntly, a gamble on life.

The defendant can choose one of four tests: immortality by fire, immortality by stone hammer, immortality by lightning, or immortality by swordsmanship.

As long as you pass, you are innocent.

However, the first three are completely nonsense, and the only feasible one is the so-called hilt without injury. That is, a life-and-death fight with the samurai authorized by the prosecution.

The warrior entrusted by the accuser can wear armor and a shield, while the accused only has a sword.

Forget it, the difference in the quality of weapons can be made up through skills. The key is that behind the seemingly fair, Wu Ping has been in the cage for almost half a month, and his physical and mental conditions are very bad. And in the Divine Judgment

In the case, only the surviving party is innocent. Don't expect your opponent to let go.

The guarantee Wu Ping mentioned was just asking Carlos to guarantee that he would not get violent and hurt anyone after getting the weapon, so Carlos's hesitation was not because of this. What Carlos was worried about was that Wu Ping would lose.

To give an inappropriate rationale, a guy as strong as C'Thun was still pushed by a footman in a weak and resurrected state. Wu Ping, whose physical function is at a low point, no matter how superb your martial arts is, if you can't even stand up to the opponent with a knife, you still can't stand it.

How to fight?

"Your Majesty, please vouch for me."

Putting Carlos's name before Lothar showed that Wu Ping had resentment in his heart. After thinking for a while, Carlos nodded.

In an unfair competition, Wu Ping took advantage of his opponent's armor to do some warm-up moves that would be unbelievable to ordinary people to stretch his muscles.

Because he was afraid of committing suicide, Wu Ping's waistband was taken away.

Naturally, the waistband of trousers tied with straw cannot be used in the competition. Danas took off his armed belt and handed it to Wu Ping. Carlos pulled out a guard's saber and handed it to Wu Ping. Lothar whispered in the ear of an officer beside him.

After a few words, the major officer personally prepared a small pot of wine and half a piece of bread and handed them to Wu Ping.

This move made Carlos feel better about Lothar.

A war is imminent. If you give food to one of the parties in the divine judgment, it will be easier if you win, but if you lose, you will probably be accused of tampering.

Lothar's actions were thankless, but they were clear of conscience.

Wu Ping accepted everyone's kindness, sat cross-legged calmly, and ate slowly.

The guy who served as the ruling warrior didn't care much. In his eyes, Wu Ping was already dead. It was the last supper for a dying man, so why should he be harsh?

In this way, in about five minutes, Wu Ping finished eating and stood up. A small group of sergeants pulled out a cordon to prevent the warring parties from watching the noble nobles around them.

Carlos did not use holy light to treat Wu Ping because Carlos discovered that under Lothar's protection, Wu Ping's body was not seriously damaged. What was weak about him was his spirit.

Under the resentment, grievance, unwillingness, and anxiety, this young man lost a lot of energy. Worse than Ultraman, Carlos concluded that if Wu Ping could not win within one minute, then he would have no chance.

But a warrior wearing armor and holding a shield can't even hold on for a minute, which is unrealistic.

Carlos racked his brains, thinking about how he could help Wu Ping in a less obvious and less offensive way.

Because interfering with the divine judgment is a disqualification even for a king.

While Carlos was thinking, the competition began.

Wu Ping weirdly knelt on his knees, holding a knife in one hand and dragging it behind him.

The Judgment Warrior couldn't help but sneered, and now he gave up on why he chose the Holy Judgment.

Carefully pushing forward step by step, the Judgment Warrior raised his sword and slashed. In the midst of lightning and flint, Wu Ping bent down and rolled to the ground with his legs crossed. The Judgment Warrior was thrown to the ground. Wu Ping tightened his waist and twisted his hips.

, the hand that was not holding the weapon pressed the top of the Judgment Warrior's helmet and pulled it back, and the long knife slashed across the exposed neck.

The battle is over.

"The ground knife!"
