Without hesitation, as Lucrezia was forced back, Liens continued his offensive.

Lucrezia stopped her retreat, stabilized her body, and continuously swung her sword to block Liens's attacks.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The rapid sound of longswords clashing echoed throughout the training ground.

"This... doesn't seem like a spar anymore, does it?"

A soldier uncertainly asked the person next to him to confirm his observation.

"I don't think it's a spar either... They seem to be attacking each other's vitals with every move, this..."

The soldier who was asked also looked uncertain, as he knew his own strength was limited and he might not fully understand the "sparring" methods of the two big shots on the field.

Honestly, the lightning-fast offense and defense on the field had already left him speechless.

This was the first time he had seen someone's sword speed be so fast, and the afterimages in mid-air left him dumbfounded.

This shocking scene even made him forget to admire the Princess Knight's ample bosom.

"What spar? That's an assassin! Quickly go and support Her Highness the Princess!"

Fortunately, not everyone was like those two soldiers; someone saw the danger on the field and directly shouted.

After speaking, he drew his longsword and rushed onto the field, intending to use his own strength to force Liens back.

Facing the longsword swung by that soldier, Liens slightly sidestepped to dodge and casually swung his own sword.

A silver light flashed, bringing with it specks of blood.

The soldier fell to the ground with a look of shock, his body curled up, his hands covering his throat, futilely trying to stop the gushing blood to prolong his Life.

After killing that soldier with one sword, Liens ignored his fallen body.

He horizontally blocked Lucrezia's incoming sword, which aimed to stop this tragedy, then Liens immediately counterattacked with a rapid thrust, forcing her to withdraw her sword for defense.

Their offense and defense made the battle fall into a stalemate again.

After seeing the tragic fate of the first person who entered the fray, the soldiers who were about to rush forward to "protect the Princess" suddenly stopped their charge.

They looked at each other, momentarily unsure whether they should rush forward or not.

The Princess was very important, because she was beautiful, wealthy, and of noble status; if they could seize the opportunity to leave a good impression on Her Highness the Princess, then future prosperity would be within reach.

Even if they could just receive a compliment from the stunning Princess with an amazing figure, that would be good too.

But the current situation was that they seemed to be unqualified to "rescue the Princess."

Uncertain wealth and beauty seemed pale and powerless in the face of Life.

"There's no need for everyone to come forward, leave it to me. I will take down the villain before us."

Lucrezia, slightly out of breath, shouted to the soldiers outside the field.

She was stopping those soldiers from going forward to their deaths. Although there were hundreds, nearly a thousand, soldiers present, in terms of numbers alone, dealing with the assassin in front of them seemed to be no problem.

But the premise was that their morale and courage were sufficient.

Otherwise, after that person killed those in the front row, the people behind might flee in panic out of fear.

This would instead give the assassin in front of them an opportunity to escape.

So, instead of letting them go forward, it was better to let them stand there and form a encirclement.

Of course, most importantly, Lucrezia was confident she could do what she said.

"Hmm? You seem very confident that you can kill me?"

"If so, then show it to me, otherwise, you might die!"

Liens said faintly, his tone gentle, as if expressing concern for Lucrezia.

But the longsword in his hand ruthlessly slashed towards the "scar" between her twin peaks.

Because that spot had no armor protection.

Although not much time had passed since the battle began, due to the high speed of both sides' sword strikes, they had already exchanged many rounds.

There were also attacks that wounded each other.

For example, Liens's chest now had a sword cut, a significant wound, and blood was continuously flowing without any sign of stopping.

In addition, other parts of his body, such as his arms and cheeks, had small cuts.

As for Lucrezia, her situation was much better than Liens's.

Aside from some small, non-disabling wounds on unprotected areas, she had no other injuries.

Perhaps this was also the reason why Lucrezia was confident she could take down Liens?

However, in the current situation, both sides were exchanging blows, and Liens was more often on the offensive.

So why were his injuries greater than Lucrezia's?

The reasons for this situation...

Firstly, the difference in their armor.

Liens was only wearing an ordinary military uniform, which could not block the sharp longsword in Lucrezia's hand at all.

And Lucrezia's soft armor, which looked like it was designed for titillation, was actually very tough.

Liens's attacks could at most cause a tiny scratch on it and could not harm Lucrezia's body protected by the armor.

Secondly, it was Lucrezia's "Sword Style."

Who would have thought that a delicate beauty would specialize in a defensive Sword Style?

By now, Liens had recognized the characteristics of Lucrezia's "Sword Style," which was — stability.

Whether attacking or defending, her every sword strike was extremely stable and precise, and her strength was just right, neither too much nor too little.

Moreover, she often managed to block incoming attacks at just the right moment.

She was like a fortified city; no matter how many attacks came from all directions, she could still integrate and rationally allocate her strength to resist the enemy.

Her high-quality armor combined with her defensive Sword Style was the reason Lucrezia could achieve her current battle results.

To Liens's words, Lucrezia merely smiled lightly, saying nothing.

In an instant, Liens suddenly felt that Lucrezia was so beautiful, her smile like an angel's, yet also like a devil's flirtation.

Her exquisite face was like the best gift bestowed upon mortals by the gods.

Her proud figure was no less than that of a succubus in a beautiful dream.

So beautiful!

He wanted to embrace her and play with her...

Facing such a treasure, how could he bear to destroy it?

Looking at such a temptress, how could he suppress the desire in his heart?

Come, she is yours, you just need to open your arms and embrace her.

Come, put down the sword in your hand, put down the killing intent in your heart.

Follow your desire, come forward...

Liens bit off half of his tongue, using the pain to force himself to calm down.

Then he gathered the strength in his body and quickly drew his sword to block a strike from Lucrezia that was aimed at his chest.

After blocking this sword, Liens quickly retreated, moving slightly away from Lucrezia.

He lowered his head slightly, no longer looking directly at Lucrezia's face, not even daring to look at her proud figure.

This completely violated his long-held combat principle — looking directly at the opponent.

But the current situation had made it impossible for him to adhere to this principle anymore.

Liens gasped for air, his mental daze making it difficult for him to control his body with ease.

The fatigue accumulated from the previous intense battle also emerged, trying to crush his scarred body.
