A Real Man's Duel

The two-thousand-strong army was incredibly imposing. William led them forward, their bodies surrounded by Battle Aura, and each step was accompanied by a roar.

The moment the Military Formation came to a halt.

The entire Legion exploded like an explosion, its dazzling Battle Aura spreading in all directions around the temple. The reeds and bushes within a radius of a thousand meters were instantly vaporized and vanished without a trace.

The Minotaur Tribe, witnessing this scene, were terrified. Many swallowed hard, and some even silently munched on grass, hoping the Dawn Legion Minotaur treat them like mere cattle...

They were just a small tribe, and most of their Warrior were young men, not a specially trained Regular Army. Countless cattle were so weak they could barely hold their weapons.

However.

With a loud bellow from the bull.

The entire Minotaur Tribe fell silent.

They parted their ranks in surprise and looked at their Leader-Class with respect.

This is a burly, broad-shouldered minotaur with iron arms and bronze fists, his Minotaur full of strong muscles. He walks out slowly with heavy steps, giving people a feeling of shock and awe.

William raised an eyebrow and nodded with a hint of appreciation. "As expected of Minotaur who can ride a horse on his fists, his height of nearly 2.3 meters is very imposing, and his body is full of rugged muscles. He looks good, and he's also great at mining!"

His bloodline potential is still Epic-Class, but unfortunately, judging from his appearance, he seems impossible to subdue. Let's just kill him then!

"Dawn City Lord, you have led your troops to invade my territory. Do you think my Minotaur Tribe is easy to bully?" The Minotaur Leader-Class roared in a muffled voice, showing no fear even in the face of William's iron army.

William raised an eyebrow. He hadn't wanted to take action before, and had sent people several times to test whether the Minotaur Tribe would submit. Unfortunately, these guys were shameless, so he had no choice but to lead his troops to suppress them.

"Heh, this City Lord does not kill nameless nobodies. If you do not wish for any harm to your people, you are welcome to fight me. If you die, your people will follow me; if I die, my army will naturally retreat."

Upon hearing this, the Minotaur Leader-Class, panting heavily and with bloodshot eyes, approached William. He lowered his head and sneered, "I am Fiu Lesse. After you die, don't forget to remember my name in Hell!"

"..." William's expression was conflicted. Was he a piece of trash?

"Hmph, enough nonsense."

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless." William narrowed his eyes, suddenly drew his sword, and blue Battle Aura surrounded his body, exploding like thunder.

But just as he was about to charge forward...

Fiorentina decisively extended his hand, his expression serious, signaling for them to stop.

William, who had rushed halfway, stopped and raised an eyebrow, his expression unreadable.

Not only was he a little confused, but the onlookers on both sides were also somewhat bewildered.

Fiorentina sneered, tossing his flaming axes to the ground and saying coldly, "A real man should engage in a man's duel."

"Oh? Empty-handed?" William nodded. He had been playing the game for ten years and didn't even know that the Minotaur had this custom. But fulfilling his dying wish was fine, as long as he could smoothly take over the other Minotaur.

So he casually tossed the longsword to the ground.

But when he wanted to make another move...

Fiorentina sternly reached out again to stop William's actions...

At this point, some people started shouting, with many Minotaur Warrior yelling, "Kill him! Kill him!"

But!

Who is Fiorentina Leather?

"Laozi is not only the Leader-Class the Minotaur, but also the most intelligent member of the entire tribe."

"Why would I go and die for trash like you? In the past six months, the Dawn City Lord has been fighting in the north and south, sweeping across the land and crushing countless tribes. Only an idiot would dare to fight him one-on-one." Fiorente smiled smugly to himself.

He lowered his head with a cold expression, looked at William disdainfully, and said, "A real man's battle isn't a one-on-one fight, but..."

"What?"

Arm wrestling!

"..." William Black Leaf, the Dawn City Lord, the leader of the Dawn Mercenary Group, and the Prince of the Black Leaf Elf, had fallen silent.

An awkward silence fell over everyone on both sides of the battlefield.

The Minotaur Tribe tribe members were also a bit confused. Wasn't this just a game the little Minotaur played? When did it become a duel?

Shouldn't truly tough guys be wielding axes and hacking each other over the head?

William took a deep breath and glanced at Fiu Lesse; it was a good name.

"Then let's go."

"Ah... ah... ah... I lost." The moment his wrist was pinned down, Fiu Lesse's body shot back dozens of meters like a cannonball, knocking countless tribesmen to the ground.

He coughed up blood and slowly stood up, trembling as if he had used up all his strength.

Ignoring the bewildered support of his clansmen, he relied entirely on his own strength to slowly stand up...

at the same time,

He vomited several more liters of blood, his body swaying unsteadily, but he still gave William a thumbs up. "Dawn City Lord, your power is like mountains and Jianghu, I have lost."

If you still insist on exterminating us, my head, Fiu Lesse's head, is right here. If I even flinch before I die, my name will be written backwards.

But if you dare harm my people, I'll fight you to the death, even if it costs me my half-crippled body.

"(⊙_⊙)" William's eyes widened, his face showing a black expression.

I didn't even use any force, and you were sent flying backwards?

He even had that look of being seriously injured and on the verge of death. What an amazing actor!

Born a movie star?

Oscars?

No matter how confused William was, the Minotaur Tribe members were deeply moved, looking at their Leader-Class with admiration. Regardless of whether the Dawn Legion was going to attack, Fiu Lesse had indeed won over the hearts of the people.

William took two deep breaths and slowly walked up to Fiu Lesse. Ignoring the other Minotaur, he stretched out his hand and held it in the air.

Three seconds of silence followed.

Fiu Lesse knelt down on one knee, trembling, and vomited several more liters of blood.

William's lips twitched, and his Health Bar had dropped by a tenth. That's impressive.

He placed his hand on Fiu Lesse's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "I respect your... personality, courage, Fearless, and determination to protect your people, and I accept the allegiance of your tribe!"

Fiu Lesse was secretly delighted. He had been putting on an act, and what he feared most was being exposed. Now, not only had the other party not exposed him, but they had also cooperated. Naturally, he had to take advantage of the situation and quickly pledged his allegiance. "Thank you, Dawn City Lord, for sparing my life. I will lead my people to pledge eternal loyalty to Dawn City Lord!"

"Thank you Dawn City Lord, for sparing our lives." The entire Minotaur clan knelt down on one knee in turn, like waves, formally pledging allegiance and becoming the clan of Dawn City Lord.

That's right!

It's that simple.

The key to this was that William encountered an absolute coward, a coward who completely explained his first and last name...

As for clans?

It represents the entire tribe's loyalty to a particular individual, rather than their integration into the Dawn City.

The two are very different.

For example, if William were to die, they could simply leave and return to nature, living a life of grazing at sunrise and sunset...

By defeating William through sheer inability to overpower him, Fiu Lesse demonstrated William's strength. By becoming a clan member, he not only secured a way out for himself but also gained the loyalty of his clansmen.

For Fiu Lesse, this was a huge win.
