Riding and Slashing

Chapter 101 Revenge (5K+ chapters)

Eldred didn't want to die together, he could only block and evade for a while, and it was difficult to fight back.

But this situation can't last for too long. Eldred's skills are quite good, and Charles's style of play will consume his physical energy very quickly.

Next to Charles's name is the percentage of his physical condition, which is dropping rapidly.

80%;

70%;

Charles was already panting, and he kept on attacking, completely ignoring Eldred's blade.

Every sword opened wide and closed, all chopping and slashing in a large area, exhausting the strength of the whole body.

This style of play usually loses in about two rounds...

But this is a duel of life and death.

Eldred may be able to strike first with every sword, but if he stabs Charles, he will be hacked to death by Charles at the same time. If he does not want to exchange his life for his life, he can only be forced to parry and dodge.

This style of play is naturally the lord's guidance - in the arena in the fog cage city, the swordsman who is good at exchanging injuries for injuries won the real sword fighting championship in this way.

Of course, the main reason was that the lord didn't want to be famous at that time, and even bet on his opponent to win...

When Charles' state had dropped to 61%, the lord finally found the right angle.

He quietly lifted the black cloak on his body slightly, as if worried that the cloak would be stepped on, and turned sideways.

The lord is now standing diagonally opposite Eldred, and the shining half-body armor follows this sideways, accurately reflecting the dazzling sunlight into Eldred's eyes.

Charles was attacking desperately at this time, and Eldred didn't see clearly, and was cut horizontally at the waist, blood gushing out all of a sudden.

However, the injury did not appear to be fatal.

Eldred turned around and fought back, forcing the panting Charles back. Just as he was about to turn from defense to offense, another strong light shot into his eyes.

At this moment, Eldred's unrecovered eyes were completely dazzled. He covered his eyes and swung his sword wildly twice. Unsurprisingly, he was hit by another sword, which stabbed his waist again.

Eldred understood now, it was obvious that someone next to him was hurting him and deliberately blinking his eyes.

He shouted angrily: "Who! Shameless! Is such a duel fair?"

Then he swung his sword and backed away quickly, it seemed that he planned to avoid it first.

But just a few steps back, I heard a female voice screaming: "Ah!"

Then a flower basket was thrown up.

The petals all over the sky covered Eldred, and then he screamed: "Ugh!"

Eldred clutched his lower back in pain, stumbled and took another step forward, then turned around and swung his sword, but couldn't cut anything, and then fell to the ground in pain.

That was Riva who had been standing unnoticed in the corner, she had been looking for a position secretly, and after fighting for so long, she finally waited until Eldred approached her.

Taking advantage of Eldred's quick retreat, she screamed and threw the flower basket, letting the petals block everyone's sight, then secretly poked a short iron pick at Eldred's waist, then turned around and walked away. run.

Like a normal frightened maid.

The sharp short iron stick was the half of the iron chisel cut off by Li Ang's sword.

Eldred already had an injury in his waist, and the thin and sharp iron stick completely pierced into his already bloody lower back, so it couldn't be seen at all.

The lord was relieved, both Charles and Riva carried out his plan properly.

With his waist pierced, he would no longer have much fighting power anyway. It would be really unscientific if Eldred was still alive in this situation.

It's a pity that he didn't pierce his kidney. If he pierced his waist, the effect should be better.

Now, it depends on whether Charles can perform more perfectly.

At this time, Charles had already rushed forward panting heavily, and swooped and slashed with swords in both hands.

Eldred was lucky, lying on the ground and waving his sword to parry with all his strength, he still blocked the edge of the sword in this state.

But the iron pick at his waist did make him lose most of his strength, he blocked the haste, and the sword in his hand was knocked down by the heavy hands.

Eldred rolled in a circle, barely escaped, and started to flee like a headless chicken, and unexpectedly ran in front of King Ulrik's horse.

Eldred was already aware of the situation he was in. He didn't say anything about fairness or unfairness, but hid behind the king's horse in a hurry.

This scene is inexplicably familiar...

Lord Lord shook his head, as expected, like father, like son, Rainier did this too!

Of course, King Ulrik didn't want to be this sword shield, but Eldred grabbed his saddle.

"Eldred, did you kill Earl Alden? Tell me the truth, maybe I can let the court judge you..."

The king didn't do anything - the duel wasn't over yet, he didn't want to affect the duel, so he simply asked.

"No...not me..."

Eldred probably still had a bit of luck, so he didn't dare to admit it.

Ulrik's face darkened—this answer was too ignorant. The king wanted to quickly reverse the case for his nephew Andrew. Since you don't admit it, then face revenge against your blood relatives.

The king clamped the horse's belly and drove the horse forward, intending to let the man out.

Charles also rushed over again.

With no weapon in his hand and serious injuries, Eldred naturally couldn't fight. He grabbed the saddle and ran for two steps to use the horse as a shield, but was knocked to the ground by the king's horse belt.

But the guy was lucky, the sword he had knocked down earlier was just a few steps ahead of him.

Eldred slid across the ground with a swoop, grabbed the long sword, and just avoided Charles' full attack.

Then, he rolled sideways on the ground and planned to get up.

But Li Ang was 'just' standing in front of the king's horse at this time. Seeing the king riding forward, he made a few steps sideways, and then took a big step to the side, making an appearance of giving up his position.

But when he landed, the metal boots under his feet "coincidentally" stepped on the ankle joint of Eldred's calf that was dragged on the ground after rolling...

"Crack!"

Everyone heard the crisp sound, but no one said anything. After all, the lord's performance in giving way to the king was quite reasonable—Eldred seemed to have rolled to Leon's feet by himself...

It was just an unfortunate accident, not intentional by any means.

But this heavy kick caused Eldred, who just got the long sword, to drop the weapon again - the scene of throwing down the sword and hugging his ankle and crying is also familiar, and the lord is quite nostalgic...

However, Forscher throwing away his sword on the field is just a surrender to terminate the match, but Eldred threw his sword on the dueling field...

Revenge of blood relatives, the duel of life and death does not care whether you surrender or not.

"Ah... yes, I killed Auden! I plead guilty! Please send me to prison..."

Seeing that Charles had already galloped over, Eldred curled up on the ground, holding his ankle in pain and shouting in despair.

Pleading guilty is indeed the only chance now. If the king is willing to interfere, plead guilty and go to prison, maybe he won't die!

It's a pity that no one had time to interfere, and Charles' sword obviously couldn't be held back--in the middle of Eldred's words, he had already fit and rushed over!
This was another heavy blow with both hands after the lunge, and the sword edge went straight down!

Straight into Eldred's chest.

Eldred opened his mouth wide, and subconsciously grasped the blade with both hands, but no sound came out of his mouth.

Blood rushed out along the blood groove of the sword body and splashed on Charles's face.

Charles didn't even blink, and twisted the hilt of the sword with his expressionless hands.

Eldred tilted his head and stopped moving, his eyes were still open, just looking at the coffin of Earl Auden.

The countess took two steps forward and covered her mouth.On the seemingly calm face, two lines of tears fell silently.

Eldred is dead.

He died in front of the countess, and the lord did not involve any trickery in it.

The murderer died in front of Earl Auden's coffin, beheaded by the earl's son, and confessed his crime before he died.

There is no better form of vengeance than this.

The lord stepped back and covered his cloak.Seeing the countess looking at him, he bowed slightly to the countess.

Charles finally let go of the hilt of his sword and stood up, bowing his head to King Ulrik: "Thank the gods and Your Majesty for witnessing my revenge, and thank you for your justice!"

Then he knelt down on one knee towards Auden's coffin: "Father, I am Charles Fletcher, your enemy has gone where he should go!"

After speaking, tears streamed down my face.

Ulrik raised his eyebrows: "Good job."

After finishing speaking, he rode away.

Before leaving, he even glanced at Li Ang. It was obvious that Li Ang's tricks were seen by the king - riding a horse from a higher position, he could see it clearly.

"Charles, go carry the coffin and take your father back to Kewen..."

Li Ang stepped forward to beckon Charles to get up.

Charles walked to the side of the coffin, wrapped his sleeve around the wound on his right forearm, and then replaced the attendant on the right front to lift the coffin.

But then there was a muffled groan of pain—he also had a wound on his left shoulder, and the heavy coffin made his wound ooze blood.

The lord's teeth became sour for a while, and he subconsciously looked at the team panel.

This dropped from 50% to 39%...

Fortunately, it recovered to 40% after ten seconds, and it seemed to be able to hold on.

The coffin was very heavy, and Charles' left shoulder was bleeding all the time, but he endured it, gritting his teeth with tears and moving forward step by step.

Seeing this scene, the countess looked at Charles very softly.

Ms. Joanna beside her also covered her mouth, with faint tears in her eyes.

Lehman next to him frowned.

He probably never thought that he could gain more approval from the countess and Joanna in this way.

This is indeed not a custom in Pendor Continent...

This kind of operation can only come from an ancient country.

Baron Hereward walked up to Li Ang and watched Charles carry the coffin out of the city gate intently.

"Baron Leon, Charles' fief, where will it be?"

Li Ang also watched Earl Oden's coffin leave before turning his head: "What do you think of Fletcher Village?"

Hereward laughed silently, and patted Leon's shoulder: "Ha, very good...you are really the smartest kid I've ever met...but Fletcher Village's taxes may not be able to support six A hundred sentinels..."

Sure, that's where Hereward and Oden initially struggled side by side.

The lord grinned and showed a row of white teeth: "It's only six hundred sentries? I thought it was several thousand... Lord Hereward, you probably don't know—the money in my hand is enough to buy the entire Changhe town."

Hereward seems to be planning to retire, his Sentinels need a new sergeant major, and the Horn Call Rangers need a new leader.

And this old man will probably look at Charles differently now-this is why Li Ang wants Charles to avenge himself, and let him carry the coffin with his injuries for a show.

He wanted the old guys who had a close relationship with Auden to see this scene with their own eyes.

Although Ralph is not here, Ralph, who was born as a commoner and has an upright personality, is naturally the same as Charles, and he also needs Leon's support.

The son of the former head of the regiment, he avenged his father with his own hands. He has the qualities of being brave and firm without fear of powerful enemies.

Proper candidate for the next head of the team.

Yes, most of these qualities were deliberately designed by the lord—but at least Charles did.

In the eyes of the Countess or Hereward, what could be wrong with such an illegitimate child?
Moreover, the system that has not responded for a long time was reminded again on this day, and there were several within a day.

'Your coaching skills have improved'.

'Your control skills have improved'.

'Your tax collector Charles Fletcher, your relationship has been raised to 100'.

'You got the honor'.

'You have gained dominion'.

……

"Master Li Ang, thank you."

After the crowd dispersed, Liwa came to the lord lord, and made another lame aristocratic salute.

After stabbing Eldred herself, she is now at peace.

Eldred stabbed Oden in the back, and Li Ang also asked Riva to stab Eldred in the back. For Riva, this was indeed the best way of revenge.

"Liwa, what are you going to do now, don't you go to Kewen Village to meet a relative?"

The lord asked lightly.

He was looking at the attribute he had just improved, and he was not enthusiastic.

Besides, it wasn't to help Liwa, let her participate, just because this bandit leader is very suitable for this plan.

"What am I going to ask my relatives for? I have the ability to support myself... revenge for him is only because I killed him, and I want to atone for it."

Liwa looked at her right hand: "But this atonement is not enough... So, I am going to protect Charles. But I want to ask you, don't tell anyone about me, including Charles."

It was unexpected that the bandit leader still had such a heart—it seemed that she didn't really hate Auden that much, but was just extreme. Although she was deceived and did something wrong because of this, it was still human.

"It is of course a good thing that you are willing to help the knights under my command. As for your life experience, that is your own business and has nothing to do with me."

The lord nodded and planned to leave.

"Wait, my lord, I'm sorry that I once took your things... I will return double to you in the future!"

Li Wa stopped Li Ang, it seemed that it was because of the money and sword theft.

"No need, Liva, Earl Alden has already paid you back. He once said to me - the money you took from me was taken by my daughter, it's reciprocal... "

Li Ang imitated Auden's tone, watching Riva's tears fall again.

"You should go and watch your father's burial, Liva, and then work with Charles to protect Fletcher Village. It will be Charles' fief there."

"Thank you, my lord, and I will repay your kindness, I swear."

This is not a game, the lord did not recruit Riva into the team.

It might be a better choice to let her continue to be a bandit and become a helper in the dark.

The matter was settled, but this incident caused many changes in the situation of the kingdom.

That afternoon, Amy's elder brother, Lord Andrew, was released—the murderer had already been executed, and the king would naturally not continue to detain his nephew.

However, King Ulrik dismissed Andrew from his post on the grounds that 'the dignity of the Royal City Guard was damaged'.

This treatment should be done, and there is no problem with the reason.

The royal guards are the king's own army, and all of them are noble children, but Andrew allowed Baron Eldred to detain dozens of people, which really hurt the majesty of the king.

If it was Li Ang, the first time that team of armed guards were detained by Qicha Fortress, he would definitely bring the royal guards directly into Qicha Fortress, and kill anyone who dared to stop them.

A troop full of noble children doesn't need to be afraid at all.If they make trouble, their parents will intervene, and they may even control Qicha Fortress in one fell swoop, and maybe become the master of Qicha Fortress because of this.

But now, Andrew can only go back to Yazhu Village as a small lord to manage his knight collar.

And Qicha Fortress was taken over by King Ulric as a direct jurisdiction, and became the army station directly under the king.

——On the day Eldred was killed, the Knights of the Lion were sent to Seven Forks to take over the army.

On the second day, King Ulric announced that Eldred and Rainier were convicted of treason, and Qicha Fortress was brought under the direct control of the king.

And the evidence for the charge was the forged letter from the lord, which could not have been used as evidence for the accusation...

The king should probably thank Leon - Leon killed Rainier and provided the 'evidence' of the treason of the father and son, so King Ulrik was able to take advantage of this.

And Sir Lehman didn't go to Castle of Valor, he didn't even go to Kewen Village to preside over his father-in-law's burial—he temporarily took over the defense of Fort Seven Branches as the deputy head of the Knights of the Lions.

And the defense of Fort Yongshield was assigned by King Ulrik to a person that no one expected——Baron Leofric.

This is the baron Godric mentioned who used the griffin coat of arms. He was originally the lord of Kewen Village, the place where Oden was buried, and the hometown of the countess.

But it didn't mean that Castle of Valor was granted to him. The nominal owner of Castle of Valor is still Auden's daughter, Joanna.

The king only appointed Baron Leofric to temporarily manage the military affairs of Fort Yongshield.

Just like Grand Duke Alma temporarily manages the affairs of Changhe Town.

This is actually an entrustment from the Countess. She will move back to her hometown of Kewen Village to live, and Lord Leofric of Kewen will go to Fort Yonshield to guard the border.

Although Ralph is a friend of Auden, he is obviously not a friend of the Countess... Moreover, his border territory was sold to Leon, and it is no longer under the jurisdiction of Fort Yongshield.

At the same time, before leaving Sarleon City, the Countess did transfer Fletcher Village to Leon—to be precise, it was transferred to Charles.

The transfer price is 1 dinar.

Today, the actual managers and nominal rulers of these places are as follows:
Long River Town——Grand Duke of Alma; (Nominally belonging to the unnecessary 'child' of Duke Elfwan)
Fort Valiant—Lord Leofric; (nominally owned by Joanna, daughter of Earl Alden)
Seven Forts——Sir Lehman;

Fletcher Village - Charles; (belonging to Leon)

Frontier Station - Ralph; (belonging to Leon)

　The current situation in the Sarleon Kingdom, except for Lehman, Seven Fortress, and Eldred and his sons, is already the same as in the game.

　　According to the voting results in the group, I will post big chapters from now on, starting with 5K+ big chapters.
