World Development System 83 14. Evan Laguna and Jake Part 3

Diana spoke seriously unlike her jolly self, "That's true, That weapon will change a lot of dimensions in naval and land warfare, Meanwhile, Father has approved your request which you made earlier, from now on Bluesea house will support North-frontier town to their fullest. It seems it was because of this weapon that changed the opinion of elders in the house and father was able to openly support you."

Vlad spoke with a happy tone as he smiled after hearing the good news, "It's good or else I would have to support them in my personal capacity as I already gave him my word."
Diana said smilingly, "Well, I too would have supported this city as I have taken quite a liking to this ever-changing city so you don't have to worry much if it comes to funds. Additionally, John is quite interesting unlike others who I have always encountered. What about that guy who was training under you? ooh, lets first head to the site and check where the fight is going on."

Vlad said, "You don't have to worry about him, I had already given orders to Dearil to keep Jake safe if John is hesitating to protect him. Well, he would anyway protect him but I still don't want to take any chances if there is a communication problem with him and his men. So I just wanted to make sure if he is safe."

Diana smiled as she spoke her thoughts, "As always you are prepared for all the extreme situations. I wonder what sort of things you don't take into your plans?"
She knew he would always take more precautions even if her father didn't give him orders.
Vlad thought a bit, smiled and spoke smilingly, "I wouldn't have taken those new ballistae into account if I was kept in dark about them. So I guess even I don't know what will happen in the future, what I can do is, Hope for the best and prepare for the worst so that's my motto."

The rusty knife now seemed sharp after it was wrapped in Dark Magic. As soon as both of them clashed with their weapons, there was a heavy sound of metals colliding with sparks appearing.
However after 2 more hits, Jake sliced through the sword which Marcus was wielding. Jake without any hesitation reached for the throat as he intended to kill him with his first blow.

All the people in the sidelines were shocked and alarmed after watching this scene,
Shocked after watching the scene one of the knights spoke with a dry throat, "How could that rusty knife slice through Marcus's famed sword like it is mere scrap metal?"
Henry thought as he saw Evan, 'Hmm... So Marcus was always hiding his wind magic and it was quite surprising to see that kid using Dark magic. I guess we have to be prepared for slaughter as Lord won't leave this kid alive as he understands of the dangers lying if he is kept alive. However, that demon over there is quite dangerous if I make a move on this kid.' Henry thought as he saw Dearil who was observing their men from the crowd.

Martha was quite nervous from the start as she spotted Evan earlier had come to North-frontier city with his whole entourage. She knew that there will be a ruckus today. However, she hoped that the day passes without any trouble as she didn't want to burden John with problems of her past.

As she saw the events folding right now, she was quite shocked after watching Jake's capability as a fighter. From the gossip of knights and others, she understood that Jake was an accomplished fighter himself. She was very much worried about Jake as she saw the duel unfold in front of her eyes.
She was quite horrified as she saw Jake going for a kill as soon as both of them started showing their magic.
Evan too was quite shocked after watching this scene. After this shock, there was a sharp ruthless glint in his eyes which was filled with heavy killing intent as he decided that this kid can't be left alive.
Evan immediately ordered his knights to save Marcus as he would die if he didn't do anything to save him.
Evan roared towards Jake, "Kid, if you dare kill Marcus, I will make sure you and your family will die a painful death. You wouldn't want your brothers to be crippled, right?"
As Jake heard him, killing intent rose from his body as he decided to charge towards Marcus more ruthlessly.
Jake roared at Evan as he aimed for the kill, "Hmph... I will make sure this man suffers and dies because of your arrogance."
Evan roared furiously as he heard Jake as he ordered his men, "Go, kill that kid, he can't be left alive. Make sure to at least disable him so he can't be a threat for me in the future. I don't care about the consequences, make sure he is dead."

Meanwhile, John just arrived with his men at the site, as he saw that Jake was going for the throat of Marcus.
John smiled as he saw this scene, John thought, 'It looks like he has matured quite a bit after his latest mission and decided to bury the hatchet from his past today.'

Dearil said to his men as saw movements within the ranks of Duke Evan's men, "It seems that he has decided to make a move. Go and protect the kid, make sure no one interferes in this duel. Since they chose to duel, they should be prepared for death as well. Go and stop those knights, you can kill them at will since they already broke the laws of interfering in a duel."

Henry saw John's smile as he ordered one of his men, "Prepare a carriage, if worse comes to worst, we will run with Lord. Make sure, Lord doesn't know anything about it."

Jake saw that there was an arrow aimed at him that came from Duke Evan, he ignored the arrow that was aimed at him as he had already decided to kill Marcus and make a move towards duke if required.
Jake pierced Marcus's throat multiple times as he charged towards him, While he was targetting Marcus, an arrow pierced his back. One of Dearil's men came and protected Jake as he saw an arrow coming which pierced Jake.
Evan was quite furious as he saw Jake completely ignore his warning and arrow as he continued to target Marcus without an inch of hesitation.
"Let's see how he escapes the toxin of that arrow."
After Multiple Stabs, Marcus tightly held his neck as he breathed for air. He was quite shocked and alarmed that his famed sword which was imbued with wind magic was pierced so easily by that rusty knife.

He again saw that kid but this time his eyes were filled with horror as he realized that he was at the end of the rope as he squealed hard for his life. This time his eyes lost the light of life as he dropped on the ground with his eyes wide open.
Watching this all the people present were shocked after realizing that Marcus was already dead while Jake's back was pierced with a poisonous arrow that was shot by Evan.
Henry sighed as he saw this scene and thought, 'Quite a Dangerous and ruthless kid, we have to escape fast or we will be in trouble. It's good that he is already poisoned.'
Henry ordered his men, "Make sure to protect the Lord if that kid tries anything funny. You know our families will be implicated as well if anything happens to the Lord."
