Unknown Knight

On the surface, this letter showed Humamu's weakness, as if he was willing to surrender and negotiate with Aix, but in fact, it was a sinister move, which was like putting Aix on the spot, forcing him to choose to negotiate with them. In this way, Humamu could take the initiative, increase his advantage in the negotiations, and minimize his losses in the negotiations.

If Aix was reckless enough to duel with Magnus, he would be more than happy to see it happen. Through interrogating a soldier captured in the previous cavalry battle, Lord Humamu knew the important position of Aix in the entire power of the Standing Castle. He was a more important figure than him, the lord of the city with heritage and legal system. He was simply the irreplaceable core of the core.

If the prophet makes any mistake, it will cause immeasurable losses to the forces of the Standing Castle. Even if it does not cause the opponent to collapse directly, it will inevitably cause great chaos. That will be a good opportunity for him to turn the tide.

As for the warrior named Magnus, the Lord of Humamu City is very confident. He is a household name in the local area. It is said that Magnus was born to a local god and a civilian woman. When he was born, there was a vision of a room full of rosy clouds. There are many miraculous rumors about him. It can be said that he is a demigod-level figure with many buffs stacked on him.

In addition, he was born with supernatural powers and was tall and strong, 1.9 meters tall. Standing among the locals who were generally only 1.5 meters tall, he was like a crane among a flock of chickens. Even without taking action, he was very intimidating.

After reading the letter sent by the messenger, Aix sneered. As for the childish word game of the Lord of Humamu, he found it very funny. Expecting "one rider to fight" to decide the outcome of the war, how primitive is this war? Where did you put the hard training of the soldiers?

But on second thought, if it is possible to undermine the enemy's morale through a duel, it may also be a solution. Judging from the meaning of the letter from the Lord of Humamu City, if our side does not dare to fight, it will undoubtedly encourage the arrogance of the enemy and increase their determination to fight to the death. This will inevitably bring considerable difficulties to future sieges and increase many unnecessary casualties.

Then again, as long as Aix wins the duel, regardless of whether the Lord of Humamu surrenders as agreed or not, the morale of his side will be greatly boosted, while the morale of the enemy will be greatly reduced. It is possible that they can take down the city of Berbera by taking advantage of the situation. In this way, accepting the duel may be an opportunity to break the deadlock.

The most important thing is that since he has the magical artifact Nana, no matter what kind of rash actions Axe makes, he has a backup plan. He no longer has to worry about life and death or injury, which makes his style of doing things become more unrestrained.

In addition, he had experienced many battles and participated in many peak confrontations, especially the epic feat of breaking the enemy's formation alone outside the Standing Castle last time. It seemed to add a halo to him, making him feel that he had the aura of a protagonist and was heroic. In the eyes of the people around him, his image was as shining as a hero.

The key is that this thing is really addictive. Anyone with a passion in his heart doesn't want to take the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops, who doesn't want to sweep through thousands of troops and be invincible, who doesn't want to turn the tide and save the building from collapse? Aix is ​​no exception. He has fallen deeply in love with this feeling.

After several leaders read the letter from Lord Humamu, Aix told them that he wanted to accept the challenge. As expected, his idea was opposed by a group of leaders headed by Niza. Everyone was surprisingly unanimous and thought that this was not advisable. As the saying goes, "a son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall." His personal safety was tied to the entire force, so how could he take risks easily? This was too frivolous.

However, not everyone could stop Aix, who was so angry. He made an impassioned statement of the pros and cons, and righteously covered up his personal vanity under the glory of serving the country and the people. It was very inflammatory, and fooled the warlike leaders such as Bestur, Mathilde, and Zeb into agreeing with his point of view. They all felt that this was a good opportunity for battle, especially Bestur, who wished that Aix would give him the chance to duel with Magnus.

No one could convince anyone else, and they were at a stalemate for a while. Finally, they had to vote at Aix's suggestion. Except for James and Niza, all the leaders in the camp supported Aix's idea. With the minority obeying the majority, the leaders approved the duel between Aix and Magnus.

After the results came out, Niza wanted to dissuade him again, but was forced back by Aix's unquestionable eyes. His expression seemed to say:

"Stand back! Don't stop me from showing off!"

After the messenger went up and down the city several times in a basket, the prophet Aix and the lord of Humamu finally reached an agreement and decided to deploy their troops outside the other side of the city wall the next morning and have a fair duel to verify Aix's identity.

In fact, the reason why Axe finally accepted the duel was not entirely because of vanity and love of showing off, nor was it entirely considering the overall situation and sacrificing personal safety in exchange for the overall benefit. The most important thing was that Nana gave him confidence.

Ever since he got this nano core machine, Aix regarded Nana as his role model and always carried it with him. With the gradual communication with this IA, he also fully understood the potential uses of Nana.

In general, this intelligent nano-core machine is very advanced, so advanced that it does not seem like a man-made product. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a divine artifact.

It mainly consists of three parts: a nuclear battery with very strong energy storage; a 3D nano printer; and an IA intelligent module.

The 3D nanoprinter can not only print nanorobots for medical use, but also print all the parts of the core machine. This ensures that the core machine can self-repair through the 3D nanoprinter when it is damaged in any way. This equipment ensures that after so many years, Nana's functions are still as powerful as before and it is very advanced.

In addition to a set of anthropomorphic logic programs, the IA intelligent module also includes a lot of knowledge about human pathological treatment, as well as some known pathological knowledge of various animals and plants. This huge amount of reserve knowledge also explains Nana's medical use.

The most powerful thing is that this module also contains a set of self-learning logic programs. One of the main reasons why Aix always carries Nana with him is that he wants to inspire her logical thinking by chatting and communicating with Nana, so that she can learn and grow in this way. Aix calls this situation artificial feeding.

The reason why Aix seemingly naively and rashly accepted the challenge from the Lord of Humamu City was not because of his own powerful military force, but because he had full confidence in the powerful functions of this artifact as he understood the functions of Nana.
