Chapter 743 (2/2)
Iron Axe did not respond to the dispute between Ashes and Andrea until he received Echo's gaze calling for help He cleared his throat and explained voluntarily ”Lady Andrea's concern was not misplaced Certainly, the holy duel can't be refused and must be done when both opponents are well prepared to earn the approval from the Three Gods But it doesn't mean that the duel can be initiated at any time by anyone's will The first requireer ht”
”What kind of qualifications are needed?”
”First of all, it must be an entire Mojin clan,” Iron Axe said briefly, ”One person can't represent a clan and this rule applies to even a chief or a princess This rule is to prevent a situation where a dozen people occupy one-sixth of Iron Sand City In addition, the rule also excludes foreigners Iron Sand City allows foreigners to fight for the clans but excludes them from the central power positions”
”Does that ible at all?” Ashes raised her eyebrow ”It has been years since Echo was exiled and the Osha clan has disappeared long ago Or should we start by looking for her surviving clansmen?”
”No one is able to survive Endless Cape,” Iron Axe said as he shook his head, ”but we can use anotherLady Silvermoon the chief of a new clan is allowed”
”Is this possible?” Andrea was surprised
”Mojins don't value bloodlines like you people do They value one's ability e” The commander-in-chief of the First Ar the first criterion, any clan that is able to stand their ground in one of the small oases around the Iron Sand City qualifies for the duel There are a total of four sht in and that's why these four oases are also called the bloodstained place”
”They are like adht?” Ashes did not take it seriously

”They sound like hounds that are willing to eat leftovers” Ashes sneered ”That is a very appropriate name”
”As the holy duel is full of variables, the big clans would try to rope in or bribe the potential challengers stationed in the bloodstained place My father was reluctant to be a watchdog so he was determined to initiate a holy duel with Iron Whip clan, yet he ended up with” Echo's voice beca past
”They'll pay for their insidious behavior that year, Lady Silver for them now”
”So we need to find a challenger first, whose chief will be replaced by Echo, before we challenge the six big clans?” Andrea asked
”Once people start to settle down, they'll lose their o forward One who has occupied a se others i After that, it won't be easy to overpower him by words or by force,” Iron Axe said slowly, ”since we are under the king's order and carrying thunder and grace with us, there is no need to do it in such an inconvenient way Any hu it up We will just crush anyone who dares to stand in His Majesty's way”
