Chapter 56: El Cid, the Death Knight [13] - Ambush
El Cid had won the battle for Calahorra. His name had already spread far and wide before he had even returned!
His compassion and kindness for sparing an opponent—a great warrior such as Gonzales—was now on everyone's lips.
While some did taunt Gonzales as he was alive even after being defeated, Gonzales, on the other hand, remained silent on the matter. His respect for Rodrigo had increased so much that this treatment of his didn't bother him at all!
Rather, he shut himself up and trained once again, this time with his gigantic sword so that the next time he battles Rodrigo, it would be his turn to beat him!
Also, Gonzales knew that Rodrigo had another reason for letting him live… it was to face the Moors! He understood this indirect message and also used this as another indication to grow stronger.
