He needs to make preparations for the Holy Grail Expedition, and challenging Lorgar to a duel is just the beginning.
After the duel ended, everyone dispersed. Amelia held Laine's arm and whispered, "It was indeed a thrilling duel. We might have missed the most exciting part."

"Didn't expect what?" Amelia asked curiously. "By the way, aren't your brothers all demigods?"
"Exactly, Lorgar, a demigod, was surprisingly able to go against Julius, a legendary middle-tier expedition knight, like that… I truly didn't expect it." Laine said with a pained expression. "You know? Amelia, I'm already at the Holy Sanctuary Initial Tier and under normal duel conditions, I'd take down either of them in less than ten rounds."
