Chapter 436: Ridiculous Righteousness
"But don't you think it's too cruel to do that? Is this what is called jihad? It's the exact opposite of the knight's rule! ”
William listened to Arthur's words and almost doubted that he had heard it wrong, he frowned at Arthur and said, "Chivalry? You talk to me about chivalry after the jihad? ”
William was amused, he held back a smile and said: "This is a holy war, chivalry has no effect, can you make the war win if you are full of chivalry?" ”
"What's more, our enemies are not knights, they are heretics, enemies of all the Holy Fathers and Sons, and they are not worthy of my chivalry!"
At the end, William's tone gradually cooled down: "It's like facing a wild boar, a brute, will you treat them with chivalry?" ”
"This ......"
Arthur was speechless for a moment when he heard William's words, he didn't know what to say, and after a while of silence, he said, "But they are also people, not beasts!" How can we treat people the way we treat animals? ”
"Oh, Arthur, I don't know what to say about you!" William shook his head with a smile and said, "The Norweed people are arrogant and unreasonable, they don't believe in the Holy Father, and even slander the Holy Father!" Can this also be called a person? It seems to me that no one who is not bathed in the grace of the Father can be called! ”
"They are beasts who have been lured by the devil to fall! They must be purified by the hands of the Holy Cultists! ”
William's move was very clever, explaining not only Arthur's problem, but also the people of the church, Archbishop Bailins, once again showed a wave of loyalty in front of him, allowing him to see his position.
Hearing William's words, Archbishop Bailins opened his mouth: "What Count William said is that the Norweeds do not respect the Holy Father, behave in a barbaric manner, and are no different from beasts!" ”
King Leonac nodded in agreement with William's words.
They saw William's appreciation and tolerance for this young knight, so William's face was not too damaged, and everyone only thought that William's subordinates had no eyesight.
"This ......," Arthur realized that what William said made a lot of sense, but he still couldn't understand it, and said, "But...... I still don't agree with you! ”
"Oh?" William said expressionlessly, "So what do you want?" ”
To everyone's surprise, William actually knelt down on one knee, drew his long sword and said to William: "I'm sorry, Lord Earl, but this is for the righteousness of my heart, and this is what I need to defend!" I'm going to duel with you! ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole scene suddenly fell silent, and all the nobles were shocked that William's knights were going to duel with his feudal lord.
"This ...... This is just too presumptuous! King Leonac couldn't see it, he got up and said, "I think you may be too impulsive, knight, but you are looking at the feudal lord you have sworn allegiance to, do you really want to duel him?" ”
This kind of thing is too rare, and it is not uncommon for vassals to kill feudal lords in the entire continent, but that happens only when the lord is weak and the minister is strong, and now, it is obvious that William is not a weak feudal lord.
On the contrary, as a feudal lord, he wants to be powerful, and this knight obviously has no strength, just a simple duel.
But it's such a move.,In many cases, it can be regarded as the above committed.,Duel and regular sparring can be completely two meanings.。
William felt his face hot for a moment, and his knight actually launched a duel against his feudal lord in full view, which simply made him lose face.
"What bullshit, this kid is fucking brainless!" William scolded in his heart, after so many years, he had seen many knights and nobles who fought for the so-called chivalry and the so-called righteousness.
But in William's eyes, they were all brain-dead, but there were also some knights with excellent righteousness, who were loyal to the feudal king, gentle to their wives, and kind to their children, and were almost complete model nobles.
But what kind of righteousness is this Arthur, he killed a few Norwids and grinded like this, how can he kill a few heretics must also be upright, and a little conspiracy will not work?
He didn't understand, didn't understand Arthur's brain circuitry at all.
Although he was annoyed in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, and he shook his head helplessly.
The surrounding nobles also watched William's reaction to see if he would accept Arthur's request for a duel.
William suppressed the anger in his heart, drew the decorative sword in his hand, walked up to Arthur and said, "Get up, I accept your duel!" ”
As he spoke, he walked behind Arthur, an open area for battle.
Arthur turned around and made a sword gesture at William.
In fact, Arthur is not to blame for this, after all, the education he received is different, and that kind of righteous belief has become the righteousness that he must adhere to in his heart.
Now he wants to duel with William not to change William's opinion, just to give himself peace of mind, he has fought for the righteousness in his heart, and Arthur's heart is also very complicated.
Arthur's blonde hair, which was the same as William's, was stained with sweat due to nervousness, causing the hair to stick to his forehead, looking at William, who was unprepared in front of him, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "Lord Earl, I'm going to start!" ”
William looked at him with a blank expression.
"Drink!"
Arthur rushed forward at William with his sword in both hands, and when he got close to William, he swung his sword forward and launched a fierce attack on William.
William, on the other hand, didn't pay attention to Arthur's attack, and pushed the long sword sideways to resist Arthur's sword.
He took advantage of the situation, pulled Arthur's sword aside, and then quickly slashed down at Arthur's head.
Arthur hurriedly stepped back and retracted his sword to fend off.
"Ping!"
There was a clashing of steel, and William's sword slammed into Arthur's.
Arthur felt only an irresistible force coming from the usual, and he took several steps back before stopping.
William's combat strength was extremely strong when he was young, and his strength was stronger than that of Bansteske, who had taken medicine, which was enough to see William's strength.
Then Arthur attacked again, this time William showed no mercy, a sweep, and knocked the long sword held by Arthur in both hands away, the huge force made Arthur unsteady and fell to the ground, and then William put the sword on Arthur's neck.
"You're still too tender, you need to be tempered!"
William was still expressionless, and after putting the sword down, he turned back to the nobleman's sequence, ignoring Arthur who was in shock.
Originally, King Herchard wanted to see William's joke when he saw this situation, but what he didn't expect was that William didn't show half of his annoyance, and after the duel, he seemed to be nothing, almost talking and laughing with King Leonac.
The other nobles were also very aware of the current affairs and did not continue to mention this matter, which inevitably made King Huntard a little aggrieved.
