Tavern in Another Dimension:Getting the Elf Queen Drunk at the Start Novel - Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Youpanji’s Chivalry

“Then here I come!” Youpanji lowered his body and shot forward. The broadsword in his hand drew a black light in the air and slashed directly at Stanton’s face.

Stanton narrowed his eyes and was about to swing his two-handed sword, but when he moved his sword, he saw that his opponent’s sword was not coming at him. All he could see was Youpanji’s wretched and ugly face.

Stanton’s hair stood on end, and, without a thought, his body bent down.

Whoosh…

A silver-white light brushed past his head. Just as it reached the middle of the blade, Youpanji’s sword turned and slashed straight down.

Clang!

.

Stanton put his hand behind his back and blocked Youpanji’s downward slash with his sword. At the moment he blocked it, a golden flash flew out from the blade and knocked away Youpanji’s broadsword.

Youpanji frowned again. His broadsword that was just blocked suddenly slashed down, bringing out a wave of air and bursting out an even more obvious transparent flash. It shattered the golden flash that just arrived in front of him and directly chopped down.

Boom —

A large gash instantly cut through the forest floor.

The two people’s exchange of blows made the surrounding onlookers tremble with fear.

Not comparing magic power, just looking at swordsmanship, Youpanji was a powerful knight. Otherwise, he would not have been able to be the strong Stanton’s old enemy for so many years despite his small body.

The assassins were very clear about the level of their leader. This was the first time they saw their leader struggle so hard in basic knight martial skills. Everyone was shocked.

Olivia, on the other hand, was full of admiration. Back then, Stanton did not stand out among the knights. His strength and talent could only be considered average. However, he was the one with the most perseverance. Therefore, she chose the average Stanton as her Chief Knight with no hesitation.

Fortunately, the loyal knight in front of her did not disappoint her. With his hard work, he advanced step by step to become a Grand Mage. His foundation was extremely solid and he never fell behind on his magic training. Now, he was only thirty years old but there was still a long way to go. He was still a long way from his peak.

Thinking of this, Olivia could not help but smile. It was different from her usual willful and unruly smile. This smile was nothing but sincerity.

As a member of the royal family, the little princess of the empire who lost her mother when she was young and possessed special abilities was not as glorious as she was now. She even brushed past death countless times. With everything that she learned growing up, Olivia learned to use a different kind of protective color to arm herself in this ruthless royal family.

“Hu… Hu…” Youpanji finally managed to split Stanton’s final strike apart. However, this move had depleted his physical strength. He stabbed his broadsword into the ground in front of him and bent down to hold the hilt of his sword with both hands, he panted heavily like a broken bellow.

“Hu…”Stanton let out a long sigh. “Youpanji, you lost!”

Youpanji was already at the end of his tether and his embarrassing physical state was exposed by his old enemy’s words. His body could not help but shake as he felt that he lost all his energy in that instant…

“Originally, I thought that this ambush would be a sure victory. I didn’t expect that in the end, I, Youpanji, the leader of the Knights of the Roders Empire, would lose to a bottle of wine! Hahaha…” It was as if he did not have the strength to support his broken body, sitting on the ground, Youpanji started to laugh loudly without a care in the world.

The other knights behind him looked at each other in bewilderment. At the same time, they also felt sad about their fate.

“If you tell me where you got your information, I can consider letting everyone go except you,” Olivia suddenly stepped forward and asked.

Youpanji, who was sitting on the ground in a sorry state, raised his head with great effort and looked at the so-called unruly little princess of the Oreste Empire in front of him. He could not help but exclaim in his heart that she hid her true nature well. She’s from the royal family, tsk…

Looking at the mockery on the man’s face, Olivia felt that he was thinking about something very rude. She was a little unhappy and was about to scold him.

Youpanji turned his head and looked at the knights who followed him. There were 12 mid-level knights and seven low-level knights who were still alive. Without saying a word, he turned his head and looked at Olivia again. Then, he slowly opened his mouth and said.

“I can tell you everything you want to know, but you have to keep your word and let them go.” Stanton felt that the princess would agree, but he was a little unwilling. After all, this was a great opportunity to severely wound the Roder Empire.

“Stanton, let the others go. There are many people left here, and we even have the leader of the knight’s legion. It’s enough. Otherwise, Roders will really become desperate. Now is not the time to start an all-out war with them.”

After Olivia finished speaking, Stanton was stunned. He immediately understood that it was indeed not the time yet. The problem within the imperial family had not been resolved yet, so it was not wise to start a war with the outside world. Moreover, the other party had always been stronger than the Oreste Empire.

“Yes, I understand.” Stanton immediately agreed and no longer blocked the group of low-level knights from leaving.

The knights who received permission to leave looked at their leader with a conflicted expression. They did not know whether they should leave or not.

“Go. Roders still needs your services!” After Youpanji finished speaking, he no longer cared about them.

“Pa –”

The 19 knights saluted Youpanji with a standard knight’s salute in unison. Then, they quickly left the forest without looking back.

“That’s enough, tell me what you know,” Olivia urged anxiously. She had a premonition that this conspiracy was related to someone in her family…

“Of course, Your Highness, you have fulfilled your promise to me. Of course, I will. After all, I am a knight!” Youpanji still had that wretched smile on his face, but at this moment, no one around him could deny that his chivalry was fake.

..

Alan, who successfully served Wayne the day before, had a good night’s sleep.

No matter whether Wayne would bring other people with him tonight, as long as he came, then the chances of completing Mission Three were high.

Alan, who was sitting at the bar in a daze during the day, had a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

After Sofia said that she would not be coming over for some time, she did not come to the tavern anymore.

If she did not come, Alan would not be able to get information on the Forest of Elves, and naturally, he would lose Orina’s news as well. It was not far from the day when they agreed to supply the magic Lafite to the elves. At that time, Sofia would probably come no matter what.

“Sigh…”

Thinking of this, Alan could not help but sigh. Could it be that he offended Sophia? But it did not make sense. He had not done anything inappropriate…

As he thought about the reason why Sophia did not come, he was also thinking about Orina’s news. He was also curious if Olivia’s trip to the elven forest was going well…
