Chapter 278 The Duel of Life and Death

Edward's face immediately turned pale after hearing Farrell's words. 【】He knew very well how much Farrell was, and a life-and-death duel with Roger would be suicide.Farrell was sent by the military to supervise Roger this time. If he died, who knows what the final result of Vettel's carefully planned plan will be.

The trouble is that Farrell has personally agreed to fight with him, which makes Edward not know what to do.Duels among nobles, especially life-and-death duels, are a very sacred thing, and it is said that they have been blessed by the Supreme God.So as long as the two nobles agree to a life-and-death duel, no one can stop it, even His Majesty the King has the right to interfere.

If one of them repents, he will not only be immediately stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner, but will also be spurned by everyone, and even judged by the Church of the Supreme God.In history, there have been nobles who agreed to a life-and-death duel and then regretted it, but in the end they all ended up being killed directly in the duel.

"This stupid pig!" Edward couldn't find a way to avoid Farrell's duel after much deliberation, and finally he could only curse him coldly in his heart: "If you die, you will destroy Lord Vatel's plan, what an idiot !"

Roger's mood was completely opposite to that of the gloomy Edward. As soon as Farrell agreed to a duel, he stopped and pulled him up and said pleasantly: "Haha, the Earl is indeed a brave man. What weapon do you use? Long sword Or a bayonet? A dagger? A flail is fine!"

"I... what did I just say?" At this time, Farrell was also a little relieved. He didn't care about answering Roger's question, and looked at Edward with a sad face and said: "I was forced to agree!"

"Master Farrell!" Seeing that this guy wanted to play tricks, Roger immediately put on a straight face and said coldly: "The duel of life and death is a sacred thing that is carried out under the witness of the Supreme God. You dare to go back on your word, are you not afraid of the Supreme God's blame?" ?”

"I...I didn't promise it!" Farrell didn't have the courage to fight Roger at all, and he still didn't dare to face this fact.

For Roger, this is the best chance to get rid of Farrell, where will he be allowed to quibble?His face turned cold and he said, "Earl Farrell, everyone here can testify for me. If you still deny it blindly, I can only send you to the Inquisition of the church, and let the adults of the church come to uphold justice for me. Already!"

Hearing Roger say the words "Inquisition", Farrell's fat face shook involuntarily.Everyone knows how terrible this place is, full of madmen who fanatically believe in the Supreme God.Had Roger brought the matter to the Inquisition, with the witnesses of the three knights, the lustful fat man would have been burned at the stake.

"The burning stake of the Inquisition is waiting for you." Roger knew what Farrell was thinking just from Farrell's expression, and deliberately said unhurriedly: "A big guy like you... has more oil and water on his body than ordinary people." There are many more, and the flames must be particularly spectacular, and maybe they can live longer than others!"

It is not a good thing to live a little longer when being burned at the stake. Thinking of this horrible situation, Farrell dared not deny that he had agreed to a life-and-death duel, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I...I want a Take the bayonet!"

"It's so fun!" Roger said to Chris with a smile on his face: "Get ready a rapier for Earl Farrell, I'm going to fight him to the death!"

It is probably the only one in history who was so elated before the life-and-death duel like Roger.Chris quickly found the stabbing sword, and everyone came to the open space in front of the baron's mansion to witness the life-and-death duel between Roger and Farrell.

At this time, the news that the lord was about to fight someone had already spread, and many townspeople and businessmen came to have fun.Life-and-death duels are not often seen, and have not happened in recent years.To be able to witness such a grand event in this frontier town right now, everyone's face is full of excitement.

"It turns out that excitement is the nature of all human beings." Roger couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart that there were so many people waiting for him and Farrell to do their best.

Compared with Roger, who still explores human nature leisurely, Farrell is not so relaxed.He held the rapier tightly in his hand, his fat face was covered with cold sweat, and he looked around anxiously, as if he was looking for a way to escape.But at this time, the open space in front of the baron's mansion was already surrounded by crowds, how could Farrell escape?Seeing that the last hope was gone, a look of determination appeared on the fat earl's face, he could only face the reality and fight Roger with his life.

Both parties in the duel will each appoint a witness, Roger asks Bonnie to be his witness, and Farrell has no choice at all, only Edward is willing to be his witness.Phil announced the rules of the life-and-death duel in public as a middleman, and then announced the official start of the duel.

All eyes were on Roger and Farrell, nervously waiting for the two to make a move.Roger stood on the spot with a smile on his face, the sword in his hand was pointed obliquely at the ground, and he looked at Farrell who was a few steps away calmly.

At this moment of life and death, the fat earl calmed down unexpectedly.Although Farrell has a bad reputation in the noble circles, few people know that he also has the strength of a bronze junior.Thinking that Roger had only been qualified as a knight for a few months, and his strength should not be much different from his own, Farrell seemed to have a glimmer of hope.Taking advantage of Roger's lack of opportunity to take the initiative to attack, the fat man suddenly rushed towards him with a low shout.

Befarel is obese, but he is actually not slow to charge!Unexpectedly, this fat man was really capable, and the people around couldn't help but exclaimed, and many people were secretly worried about Roger.

"Die!" Farrell burst into full potential at the critical moment, shouting and stabbing the rapier heavily at Roger's throat.

This sword gathered all of Farrell's strength, and the speed of stabbing the sword under the urging of fighting spirit was astonishingly fast.The tip of the sword pierced through the air and made a soft "chi chi" sound. In such a dark night, ordinary people can't clear the rapier that is stabbed quickly.

When Farrell launched an attack with all his strength, Roger still stood motionless, as if he hadn't reacted yet.At this moment, Farrell was full of confidence in his ability to survive a duel, and believed that he would definitely be able to assassinate his annoying opponent under his sword.

At this moment Roger moved, the sword in his hand jumped lightly as if suddenly alive, and then sliced ​​towards Farrell's thick neck at an extremely fast speed.
