Book 9, His Fame Shakes the World – Chapter 24, Olivier vs Haydson
Yulan calendar, year 10009 May 4th This night was guaranteed to be anything but an ordinary night Many of the people of the imperial capital were unable to sleep, and instead caht, there were no stars in the sky, nor was there a bright moon Instead, a thick layer of clouds covered the skies
Many citizens of the iroups of three and five, they awaited the arrival of this battle
“Hey, third brother Where do you think Lord Olivier and Lord Haydson will hold their duel? Back then, when Lord Olivier challenged Lord Haydson, he didn’t clearly specify where they would fight Only, that they would fight outside the city But would it be outside the east gate or the west gate, or the south gate, or the north gate?”
“Who knows? We have no choice but to quietly wait”
This question nagged at many people Many people had even arrived from different cities Aside from a small nui, many people came Nearly half the population of the city had come to watch this duel When the tourists from other cities were added to their number, there were definitely millions of people here today
People were clustered outside all four of the gates of the imperial city
Nobody knehere the duel would take place
A large group of people froone as well, naturally But Linley’s group was able to easily tell where the duel was going to occur This was because…the Monolithic Sword Saint, Haydson, was intentionally broadcasting his aura
The Monolithic Sword Saint and Olivier had not clearly discussed where the duel would occur
Thus, Haydson, the Monolithic Sword Saint, had chosen to head to the Channe River, located north of the imperial capital He stood in the air above the river, which was a wide one,several hundred th, it could not compare to the Yulan River, and the Channe River actually joined the Yulan River at its end
Saints were extremely sensitive to the auras of others
If a Saint-level battle were to occur at a specific location, Saints from hundreds of kilometers aould sense it Linley didn’t transform, because Haeru and Bebe could both clearly sense Haydson’s aura
“Above Channe River, north of the city Let’s go now The duel will occur there Lord Haydson is there” This infor to the people in the south, east, and west sides of the city
Thein those places swept towards the north like a flood
The vast majority of these people went cross country towards the north After all, there were far too many people here If they all went by the streets of the capital, it would siested
“There really are quite a number of people here” Linley, Wharton, Barker and the others all stared at the local scene in shock
Over aon each side of Channe River The 80,000 spectators in the Colosseum had already seemed like a sea of people These ht
Both sides of Channe River were filled with people
The worst part of it was…
People were continuing to arrive from the east, west, and southern sides of the city It was as though threeto an already flooded area The population of people here only continued to grow
“So many people Jeeze, that Olivier…why did he have to insist on the duel being three months later? If it had been half a month, the people from the other provinces wouldn’t have been able to make it over Three months…even people from the Northwest Administrative Province have made their way over” Hillman shook his head
Zassler only snickered “The more the merrier What an awesoht as a way to re army of undead His ht
“More i to just watch frohtly packed the people were in front of thee to try and squeeze through
Gates said delightedly, “That’s easy Let us five brothers lead the way and charge forward”
Given theirto the front
“No rush Haven’t you noticed that Ehed Indeed, just at this i in their direction
There were millions of ordinary commoners here, and less than a hundred thousand soldiers
But due to their tight for armor, the soldiers were able to awe and suppress the hearts of the commoners
“Roooaaaaar!” “Grooooowl”
The ical beasts in their ranks as well, some of which had been taical beasts could be heard as well, alongside the unceasing chatter of the humans
It was a scene of utter chaos
“SILENCE!”
A powerful voice rang out “Everyone who is on a boat on Channe River, all of you, get to land, quickly! If you are on the river during Lord Haydson and Lord Olivier’s battle, it is highly likely that your boats will be swamped by waves People on the shores of Channe River, all of you o near the shores of the river The aranize the viewers
The upper echelons of the E were to happen here, with millions of citizens present, it could be disastrous A duel between two Saints was a joyous occasion They couldn’t let it turn into a tragedy
“Lord Wharton, Lord Linley, please come with us” Two soldiers walked over to therinned at each other
Ee those spectators retreat by ten h they also didn’t go to the edges of the shores With the Channe River spanning several hundred meters, there was plenty of space for the two Saints to duel
In addition, both of the Saints were dueling in ed spots, lined up along the banks of Channe River Having the best viewing locations, they prepared to watch this incredible spectacle The cory
There was a huge gap between the worlds of the nobles and the commoners
Those ere able to becoreatas you had ability, you could become a noble The coreat adht as very cold, especially close to the river banks The cold night wind caused many nobles to put on cloaks
On each side of the river, there were countless lit torches, illu the entire Channe River However, in the air above Channe River, the Monolithic Sword Saint, Haydson, stood there in mid-air alone Olivier had yet to appear
“Master Linley, why hasn’t Olivier appeared yet?” Emperor Johann said to Linley, as now by his side
Emperor Johann had personally requested that Linley be seated next to hithen his relationship with Linley The second was because with Linley by his side, he would be a bit safer while watching these two Saints duel
“Don’t be impatient, your Imperial Majesty” Linley s Your Imperial Majesty, you just need to quietly wait”
