178 The Paladin's Challenge

On the morning of the third day of the war outside Thunder City, the soldiers on the wall of Thunder City saw a strange scene.

A white horse galloped towards the city wall, from afar. A knight in an old and black armor was on the horse. The armor looked like it had been used for many years. The knight did not wear his helmet. His brown hair fluttered in the wind. As the knight gradually approached, his facial features became clearer. He looked like he was about forty years old. His facial hair1 was thick, making it hard to see his face.

The knight rode the horse and stopped about a hundred paces from the city wall. The knight dismounted, holding a sword. The sword also looked like it had been used for many years. Even the leather scabbard had lost its color from aging.

The knight stood by his horse and shouted towards the city wall, "I am Knight Fielding from the Roland Temple! I request to speak to the Duke of the Tulip Family!"
