In the center of the Spartan Royal Court and the Elder Council Hall was a huge circular sunken plaza.
It was used for the King and the Elders to give speeches, and of course, it could also be used for duels, such as when the two kings had a severe disagreement.
The blond mercenary, Herman, drew his longsword with his left hand, and with his right he took down the battle axe from his back. Both weapons hung low, pointing towards the ground as he indifferently faced the Spartan Warrior opposite him.
Left sword right axe—this was a dual-wielding fighting style popular in the northern region of Holstein. As the right hand was more powerful, it held the axe, suited for slashing, while the more dexterous left hand utilized the longsword, convenient for thrusting.
Agislaos, on the other hand, was equipped like a heavy Spartan infantryman, with a longsword in his right hand and a shield in his left.
