Chapter 006: The Arrogance Trap

"Long time no see, my brother. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Bill smiled at the embarrassed Kenny.

He still wore his oily hair, as if he had rearranged his hair before meeting his old friend, or else why hadn't the wind of the red oak forest blown his hair away.

"Everything was fine, except to see you. Kenny pulled the arrow from his left arm in severe pain, blood running down his arm, and he bandaged the wound with his right hand.

"Don't say that, my brother, I'm really glad to see you alive, and I want you to meet some of my old friends. Bill turned to the guards beside him and said, "Bring her up." ”

"Nina!!" Kenny loses his mind and rushes forward, the guards' guns mercilessly holding him back.

"Great Lord Kenny, I want to ask you, remember Lindsay? You can't remember, do you? With that, Bill pulled out the Black Rock Sword from his waist and stabbed Nina in the arm mercilessly, Nina's screams and blood pierced Kenny's heart like a knife.

"No, you madman!" Bill's two guards pinned Kenny to the ground, and Kenny's head was buried in the snow, out of breath. He struggled frantically, and the arm he had just bandaged broke away again, and blood was running down his arm again.

"Madman, Kenny, you say I'm crazy? Didn't I hear me right? Robin City battle, you made me lose my queen, and today I'm going to let you experience what it's like to lose a loved one. But before I do, I'd like to play a game with you, my old friend. ”

Bill beckoned to the guards behind him, and Mike and Lawrence were pressed up with their hands tied behind their backs.

"Kenny, in the battle of Robin City, you did whatever it took to capture my wife for victory, and you did not hesitate to send cavalry around three hundred miles of mountain roads to attack my rear camp in order to blackmail me. You lied about returning the freedom of the First Continent, but you insulted the dignity of a knight, a lord of the whole continent, a great family, and a great legion. ”

"Do you know what the people of the First Continent think of you? they call you Kenny the Timid, and the Bards have made up songs about you, and now the children of Black City sing, 'Kenny the Coward, Lord who tramples on dignity.'" ’”

"You know Kenny, even my enemy spits on you and disdains to fight a guy like you, and you make me sick as a former Union comrade. Do you know why you lost?"

"You are so arrogant, you are arrogant like a ram that does not admit defeat. Yes, your father was a great commander, your grandfather was a great war maniac, you have such a prominent family and background, how can you not be arrogant. Unfortunately, you also lost in your arrogance. ”

"How long are you going to wear the mask of arrogance in front of your loyal knight?" said Bill, pointing the Black Rock Sword at Kenny's nose.

"That's enough!" Kenny interrupted Bill.

"Bill, I don't need you to insult me here, fight an enemy like you, I don't trample on the dignity of the Alliance Army, I need more vicious means to deal with an enemy like you, and the Namu God will be on my side if he has a spirit in the sky. ”

"Have you violated your original intention of overthrowing the Marshall family by insisting on the slavery system, and what is the difference between your ruling system and the evil Marshall family? If so, why do you still wage an alliance jihad? Wouldn't it be better to continue to live under that dark rule? Do you need so many people to shed blood and ruin their families?"

"Since you ruled north of Black City, people are still hungry, slaves are still living in darkness like bedbugs in the Blackwater River, taxes have not been reduced, military service is still cruel, Martin's evil spirit must have possessed you before he died, evil Bill!"

Kenny whispers Bill's name in resentment, remorseful for forcing him to where he is today because of his arrogance.

"It seems that your arrow wound has healed my friend, so let's talk about the game. Bill tucked the Black Rock Sword into its scabbard.

Bill looked at the two captives on the ground, "I heard that you are Kenny's most loyal lackeys, the cavalry commander Mike, the infantry commander and, uh, Duke Lawrence." I have to admit that you are the best commanders in the First Continent, and I fought alongside you during the Holy War. I've seen the bravery of Captain Mike, the 'Eagle of the Angolan Steppes,' that's what they call you, Captain Mike. ”

"Oh, I can't forget you Duke Lawrence, in the late stage of the Holy War, we were short of troops, and the food was far less abundant than the Marshall family, I still remember that we besieged Black City on six sides, and everyone could only barely maintain the battle situation, but you, led 20,000 infantry regiments from the wasteland, launched an attack from the southwest, and tore the impregnable Black City in only two days, opening a gap for our coalition to attack Black City. ”

"But why do you follow him and advocate freedom? Is there anything wrong with slavery? Who sows wheat and plows the wasteland without slaves? Isn't the wood burning in your fireplace cut by slaves?"

Bill dismounts from his horse and approaches Mike and Lawrence, who are kneeling on the ground. "Now I'm giving you a chance, whoever kills Kenny and swears allegiance to me, I'll spare whomever you. ”

The fire shone on Bill's face, and nothing could be heard in the red oak except for the crackling of torches.

"Oh, Bill, put away your disgusting face, defeat is defeat, and it's not your turn to insult us. The Marshall family ruled the First Continent for 200 years, what about you? How many days can you rule? We are defeated, and more people who advocate freedom will stand up. I can already see the moment you are on the gallows, your face of death is horrible!" Lawrence fearlessly mocked Bill, and he began to laugh as he said this, the fire on his face, which looked a little distorted.

"The most loyal lackey, indeed!" Bill pulled a saber from the guard's waist and walked over to Kenny's side.

"Kenny, I'll tell you the rules of the game, now you have two choices, the first is to kill Lawrence who just spoke to me, and I'll release Nina and hang you and the bug Mike. The second is..."

"It might be a little cruel to you, if you don't kill Lawrence, I'll hang Nina in front of you, you have a minute to think, isn't this game to your taste? Bill returned to his mount and stared at Kenny defiantly.

The guards let go of Kenny, who picks up the sword on the ground, blood from his arm flowing onto the hilt.

"Lord, I am already very satisfied to be able to follow you to win the holy war and overthrow the Marshall regime, but I want to die in the hands of the enemy even more, I am not reconciled, I am really unwilling. Lawrence looked at Kenny shivering.

Not far away, Nina lay on the ground, her left hand covering the wound left by the Black Rock Sword.

"Nina, Nina. Kenny called out his lover's name and stumbled towards Nina.

"Kenny... See you again... It's a good thing to be here, to die by your sword instead of being ruined by the enemy, I—" Nina's tears streamed down her cheeks.

Kenny dropped his sword and hugged Nina tightly, who whispered in Kenny's ear, "Do it, Kenny... I wish we hadn't met here... It's been so hard this way, I'm really afraid I won't have a chance to tell you, I've been... pregnant..."

Kenny froze, he couldn't believe his ears, he watched the tears from Nina's cheeks, and the hands that hugged Nina began to tremble.

Kenny's heart felt like it was pierced by tens of thousands of arrows, and he regretted his arrogance even more.

"I don't want to bother you either, great Lord Kenny, but I have to remind you that you have ten seconds left. Bill said impatiently.

Kenny stared blankly at Nina as he let go of his grip on Nina, picked up the sword on the ground, and slowly stood up.

He turned and walked over to Lawrence, slowly raising the sword above his head, and suddenly, he opened his bloodshot eyes and slashed at Lawrence's neck.
