As far as I know, the Knight class is quite formidable. They hold honor above all else; to them, a knight's sword is even more precious than life itself. Leaving a knight's sword behind is nothing short of utter humiliation for any true knight.
And right now, using a duel to back Commander Teling into a corner was my only chance. Otherwise, if the cavalry surrounding him swarmed me all at once, I wouldn't stand the slightest chance. But if Teling accepted the challenge, and I somehow managed to kill him, it would deal a massive blow to the morale of the Tiger Corps and perhaps completely shatter their assault. Just like they say in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: once the commanding general falls, I only need to roar a few times, and these foot soldiers will completely rout, trampling over each other with countless casualties, leaving behind all their armor and baggage. Who knows, they might even leave me a few thousand warhorses—now that would make me rich! The riding attributes of these warhorses must be top-tier, otherwise they wouldn't equip such an elite cavalry corps with them.
Teling remained seated on his warhorse, not making a move.
