Chapter 378: Straight Up
Translator: Dess Editor: Zayn_
There were over hundreds of flights of stairs before the palace gate .
Every flight of stairs was 10 meters long and half a meter wide . It was also as tall as 35 cm per stair causing a tough and uncomfortable climb up the stairs, but it set off the prestigious feeling of the palace gate .
The gate was mixed with gold and red color; carvings of rose, the Warren royal family emblem, were all over it . Beside the gate were two 20 meters tapestries hanging from the tower on top, around 3 meters off ground at the end . One side had the embroidery of an unsheathed sword, the other was a shield . Even without the corresponding emblem knowledge, Kieran could guess what the emblem meant, courage and fearlessness .
In fact, the embroidery on the tapestries had a similar meaning from Kieran's guess .
The sword represented one of the kings within the Warren royal family and the conquest he led himself .
The shield represent also one of the kings defending a siege from the enemies on the castle wall .
In that moment, in front of the gate and between the tapestries stood a silver armored knight riding on a white horse . His visor was lifted up, revealing a valiant face within, but the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes signified that he was not a young man .
However, his arm was strong . The lance that he was holding stood straight up at the night sky without a slight wobble .
When he laid eyes on Kieran, he didn't even have the intention to speak . He whipped his war horse and prepared to charge on .
"Hyak!"
A lion-like shout preceded the knight charging from the palace gate .
The white war horses' hooves were stepping precisely on the stairs with utmost agility, as if it was galloping on a flat ground . With the momentum charging from the top, the silver knight seemed unstoppable .
When Kieran saw the silver knight charging at him, he charged on as well without any hesitation .
"Neighhh!"
The Night Owl released a sharp neigh and set its scarlet red eyes on the snow white war horse . Its sharp teeth were revealed when it opened its mouth for the neigh .
The Night Owl had a natural repulsive feeling towards the color white, even more so towards a white war horse . However, the white war horse on the opposite side was not afraid of the Night Owl's intimidating presence . In fact, it accelerated even faster .
The silver knight showed a face of disdain before closing down his visor . The lance that was pointing towards the sky a moment ago was laid straight, pointing its sharp tip towards Kieran . The silver knight had utmost confidence that he could jolt Kieran down with one strike .
Not only because he was riding Warren's finest warhorse, but also because of the lance that he was wielding .
It wasn't a standard issued army lance but was instead a compact version of a dragon lance .
Even if it was shrunk down, it was still 4 meters long, sharp and sturdy . Moreover, the enchantment from the sorcerer made it even more indestructible .
Together with the force of the charge from the war horse, he could even penetrate a steel block, let alone a person, and it was also because of his war horse and his dragon lance that he was granted the title of "the ever victorious" .
Looking at his opponent, all he was wielding was a heavy two-handed greatsword . Its power might be unrivaled during a land fight, but in a riding skirmish?
Any qualified rider could easily locate his enemy's weak point, it was the length!
The two-handed greatsword might be as tall as man and packed quite the power in common weaponry, but compared to the common knight lance that was already 3 meters in length?
It differed quite a bit, let alone compared to the one the silver knight was using, a condensed version of a dragon lance .
On top of that, he still had the force of charging from above . His advantages was not just a single point; the result had been decided from the start!
"I am the victor!"
The silver knight declared it, and his mind was already fantasizing the rewards from Jeanne .
Thus, it fueled his white horse to gallop faster, and he gripped his lance even firmer .
The silver knight was eager to win the duel .
Dak Dak Dak Dak Dak Dak!
One white, one black .
One was charging downwards, the other was charging upwards .
