Chapter 58: The Unforgivable

"Maybe God will forgive you for your sins, but I, no!"

- Fein Chang

"It's shameless, how dare they do this? These bastards, do they have to tear off even the last fig leaf, and they don't want a trace of aristocratic dignity and honor? ”

In the early morning of the next day, according to the usual practice, Leo and the others talked to each other and led the soldiers out of the camp, and the Knights of the Dawn led by Ardalian also regained their peak physical strength after a night's rest, and everyone had a relaxed smile on their faces, everyone knew that if it continued at this frequency, White Moon City and the Duke would not last long. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Under such circumstances, Leo and the others inadvertently saw a terrifying scene on the city wall, thousands of civilians, women and children were arrested, and in the coercion of soldiers and knights, they were densely lined up in front, covering no gaps, and they could hear the cries of women and children and the kicking and shouting of the guards from a distance.

Unable to believe what they saw, Leo and the others wiped their eyes vigorously, and rode their horses closer, and when they were sure that everything in front of them was real, the impatient Keys and Viscount Leicester couldn't help but curse.

Sighing softly, the elves' eyesight superior to that of humans made Ardalian and the clansmen of the Knights under him see the situation on the city wall clearly as soon as possible, and glanced at his lord's trembling shoulders after being extremely angry, and Lord Noldor rode his horse and leaned in

"My lord, um~ if you don't mind too much, my people and I still have some solutions, it's just ......"

"Just what? It's just that these innocent women and children will have some accidental injuries? Is that what you're going to tell me? Bastard! ”

Before he could finish speaking, Leo turned around, his bitten lip red with blood, his face distorted in anger, and he opened his mouth for the first time to rudely interrupt Ardalian's unfinished words.

After immediately bowing and apologizing, Aldalian silently took a few steps back, not that he was angry because of his lord's attitude, to be honest, the Noldor elves have no feelings for most humans, if Leo can do what he proposed, even if some civilian women and children are killed or injured, he will not care too much, but the enemy's approach can only sigh again at the shamelessness and despicability of human beings for them who also respect honor.

After retreating from his men, Leo finally couldn't help but rush to the city wall, and his sudden action frightened Finn and Keith, who were following him, and the two quickly drew their shields and followed closely.

Probably because the civilians blocked the archers' view, or because they weren't worried about the number of three, in short, Leo arrived safely more than ten meters outside the city walls, and he didn't even look at the two leaders of the Knights of Discipline who were guarding beside him, he raised his head and shouted in an indignant tone

"I, Leo Chang, Grand Duke from Pande, Honorary Master of the Knights of Punishment, Lord of Stormwind City, am here to challenge all the murderers in White Moon City who have caused this situation, and the nobles who have given up their honor and dignity, you ......"

"You sons of bitches, if you still have a little backbone and dignity, just accept my challenge, one person, ten people come as many as you want! Duke Orlando Jackal, get out of here! "Leo, who has been learning to be a real nobleman since he came to this world, is really annoyed and angry, and even subconsciously blurted out the words that were spilled and cursed on the earth before.

With the last roar with all their might, Finn and Keith beside him also drew their long swords at the same time and shouted after Leo, "I, the Grand Master (Deputy Leader) of the Punishment Knights, Fein Zhang (Keith Zhang), is here to challenge all the dishonorable nobles of White Moon City to knightly challenge, and I will never die!" ”

And the other members of the Punishment Knights who followed behind him had already formed a charging formation, and in the sound of heavy and suppressed breathing, every pair of eyes under the mask were burning with raging anger, and the practice of using civilian women and children as shields in White Moon City had already touched, breaking the bottom line of these knights who regarded honor over life, if it weren't for the long-term discipline, I am afraid that for the first time in this world, a terrifying situation where hundreds of knights made a duel challenge at the same time would happen here......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the city wall, some knights and soldiers who still cared about honor could only bow their heads and be deeply silent when they heard the roar below, and after a while, a young knight who came could not bear this atmosphere anymore, strode towards Baron Root, who was protected by a heavy shield behind him, and spoke with undisguised disdain in his eyes

"My lord, please allow me to accept the duel of the knights below, and only the blood of the dead can wash away the dishonorable accusations imposed on me!" The young knight said categorically.

"Bastard, what do you want to do? Who gave you the right to make your own claims, huh? Looking at the other knights who were also moving to this side under the guidance of the young knight, the fat pig-like baron jumped up and said in a shrill voice, "Return to your place, this is the order of the Duke himself, and anyone who dares to disobey will inform your master and deprive you of your knightly status!" ”

After glaring at Baron Root for a long time, the young knight who took the lead turned around and left with an unwilling expression of disappointment, cursing the fat pig in his heart and even hating the duke.

Looking at the knights who finally compromised and retreated, Root took out his silk scarf and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, he had always been pampered, he was almost defeated in the knight's aggressive eyes just now, and his whole body trembled a few times, and the baron shook his hand and slapped the soldiers next to him, "Damn, go, shut up the women and cubs who keep crying, otherwise I will throw them all off the city wall and fall to death~"

Not to mention the challenge from Leo and Baron Root, who already had some regrets, a quarrel also broke out in the Duke's palace at this time......

"Damn it! My lord, how could you make such a decision? Ah~~ I'm going to have someone dig out the heart of the bastard who gave you this idea, I swear I'm going to do it! Amanda, who is usually charming and docile, is now like a stimulated she-cat, cloaked and clutching the Duke of Orlando's collar and screaming unpleasantly.

"Amanda, dear, listen to me......"

Without waiting for the duke to explain, Amanda, who knew that the consequences of doing so were terrible, shook her head frantically, "No, no, no! Don't explain, I can't believe that my esteemed husband would make such a decision. ”

After a slight sigh of relief, she pleaded, "I beg you very seriously, my lord, it's still too late to change, let your guards send an order to get those civilians off the city wall, I promise that the lord of Stormwind on the other side will definitely not take the opportunity to attack the city, only then we can still have a chance to hold the territory, otherwise ......"

Probably unusual, the chatter and sensitive wife in front of him made the duke a little bored, and the anger that had been suppressed for several days suddenly exploded, and he impulsively reached out and grabbed Amanda's long hair and threw her to the floor

Throwing away the few remaining strands of blonde hair in his hand, the Duke pointed to his wife, who was looking at him in disbelief, and scolded, "Is it that my past favor has made you forget your identity?" Don't forget that you are just the daughter of a broken nobleman, don't forget that I gave you everything you have today, don't forget, I am the master of this city and the northern territory, go back to your room, I have decided on this matter, if you dare to intervene again, I will put you on the wall with those untouchables! ”

The Duke of Orlando, who was puzzled, flipped the table in front of him and walked towards the door, and before leaving, he ordered the two guards, "Guard this place, my wife is not allowed to step out of the mansion without my order!" ”

Seeing her husband leave angrily, Amanda pushed away the maid who had come to support her with a nervous look and stood up by herself, her left hand gently caressing the corner of her forehead that had been broken due to the fall, and in an instant she seemed to feel that her husband, who had always been able to rely on, was so strange and indifferent.

Slowly, the bitterness on Amanda's lips turned into a smile, and then from a smile to a mocking laugh, and she walked back to the bedroom in the bewildered and suspicious eyes of the maid and the guards......

"Orlando Roland Christian, my husband, you don't know what a stupid decision you made, do you know how many of those civilians are the relatives of our soldiers defending the city? Do you know how many of those knights who value honor for their lives will be dissatisfied with you because of this...... Maybe it's time for me to find a way out for myself......"

"Please help me ask the captain of the guard of the Duke's Mansion to come over, and say that I have something to hand over to him!" After whispering to her personal maid, Amanda sat on the edge of the bed, sucking on the blood stained on her fingers, a look of determination flashing in her eyes......
