Chapter 174: Blatant Provocation
On the tallest tower of Morwinburg stood a man dressed in fine clothes, who, with a pair of wrinkled old hands, carelessly pinched breadcrumbs and sprinkled them on the winter birds perched on the edge of the window. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The wind was strong enough to drown out the roar of the soldiers under the tower.
The man didn't seem to care about that, he exhaled slightly, and threw the last piece of bread in his hand.
A black-haired crow snatched the largest piece of bread with quick eyes, and then flapped its wings and flew off the edge of the bed.
As it was approaching the crowd, an arrow pierced its body, and the poor little creature fell from mid-air and fell straight to the icy bluestone ground.
"Stop!, or the next arrow will be your head!!"
Aiden's shock seemed to work, and the restless crowd gradually quieted down.
"Ignorance! you idiots are being used!" Sersi roared at the crowd with blood-red eyes, "Do you know what you're doing?! It's a rebellion! You're helping Saad Casmon challenge the lord's authority!!"
"Citizens!!" Kenny shouted in the loudest voice of Aiden, pushing aside Aiden, who was standing in front of him, "You've seen it since I took over Nippur!!!" He stepped down the steps and pushed aside one of the guards, "You, believe me?" he asked, looking at a young man with a bruised nose and swollen face.
"I'm ....." The young man lowered his head and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of hesitation.
"Do you know what you're doing?" Kenny's words turned cold, "Kid, this is rebellion!"
"I believe you!" the other young man held his head high, "Marquis Khasad Casmon is justified, your interrogation methods are indeed inadequate, but we have not rebelled!"
"But everyone here saw you scuffling with the Guards!" Kenny yelled abruptly at the young man.
"I didn't!" the young man tried to argue, "your guards have shown us their blades, this is self-defense!"
"Self-defense?!" Kenny pulled out the black steel sword at his waist and pointed it at the young man's eyes, "Blatantly provocative! Fight with the Guards!
"Lord....." the young man raised his hands, "I..... I didn't ......"
"But I believe you didn't rebel. Kenny interrupted, "Just like you believe me!" He bit the second half of his sentence hard and walked back up the steps.
"I'm sorry!Lord Lord! that doesn't mean anything!" Saad Kasmon interjected, trying to make his narrow, childish face look mature, "Please don't deliberately show your kindness on such occasions!!"
"Did you hear that?!" Kenny ignored the words, "the young man's behavior just now was indeed rebellious!" Namu God testified, he swollen the eye socket of one of the guards!" He paused, and after making sure that the crowd was not stirred by Sade's change of subject, he opened his mouth again, "But what does that prove?! He wants to remove me from the throne of the lord?! By no means! He was just blindfolded! Just like your attitude towards this matter! What you hear and see is exactly the opposite of the truth!"
"I'm sorry again!, my lord!" Sade roared, his lime-colored eyes eager, "I have to say, you're trying to obfuscate the crowd and try to cover the eyes of the crowd!!"
"Marquis Sade Casmon?" Kenny turned and waved his hand at the guards, "While provoking this dispute, did you ever think that you were provoking a war?" He took a step forward, "Have you ever thought about what the tens of thousands of citizens standing in the square would face if there was a war?!"
"All I know—"
"Bastard! shut up!" Kenny interrupted, raising his voice loud enough, "Listen to me! The Kasmon Imps! No matter what, the Chamber of Commerce has no right to question their lords!No matter what, the Chamber of Commerce has no right to stir the townspeople into fighting with the Guards!You have triggered the criminal law, and my mercy will only be given to the law-abiding citizens and nobles!!"
"You have no right to use despicable ones—"
"I just shut you up!Are you deaf?!" Kenny interrupted him again with an unquestionable roar, "Mind your tongue! Before I cut off your head, you clever gutsless rat! I think I don't know who is directing you?" he grabbed Sade's collar with both hands, "Wilson, is it? Why didn't that coward come by himself?
"Release, even if you're-" Thad seemed to scold, but Kenny got ahead of him again.
"You have gathered the people of the city illegally, and you have imposed a trumped-up sin on your lord, who have sworn allegiance to the lord! Everyone in this square knows that it is because of your instigation that they have bad intentions!" Kenny sneered, "and you are trying to rebel on high-sounding grounds, and at the same time trying to gain sympathy with gentle words, this is a good game!, but I tell you, Sade Casmon! Put away your restless ambition and let Wilson's agitation stand aside! Do you think you can get out of Nipur alive?!"
"Chamber of Commerce Knight!!!Obey orders-"
A loud roar was heard in the distance.
On the two streets connecting the 10,000-person square, hundreds of chamber of commerce knights suddenly appeared in a queue. They rode majestic horses, clad in uniform black cross cloaks, the blades of the spears repeatedly glittered with silver light, and each of them carried a narrow and strange saber at his waist, and the horses trampled the bluestone foundation with a thunderous roar, and rolled up a monstrous haze as they galloped.
"Allies!!
"Drink—"
Thousands of newly reorganized alliance troops let out a neat cheer of almost one person, they turned around and lined up in a long formation, and countless spears were aimed at the oncoming chamber of commerce knights in an instant.
Meanwhile, in front of the Morwin Gate, Kenny single-handedly throws the emaciated Sade to Sercy.
"See?!" he shouted at the crowd as he walked to the side of the steps, "Citizens! This is what I am trying to call in the Confederate Army! Thad Camões is plotting against him, and if you turn against him, you will become a hostage, his bargaining chip, and my greatest scruples!!"
"Citizens of Nippur!" one of the leading Chamber of Commerce knights shouted, "Kenny Dalton has killed two loyal Chamber Knights by despicable means, and if he does not give an explanation for this, we will forcibly ban his lordship! You will not be hostages, let alone Marquis Sade Casmon's bargaining chips, we just want you to see Kenny Dalton's true face!!"
"What if! I make your men admit that he was sent by Wilson—"
Another loud voice appeared in the square, and the chaotic confrontation seemed to have just begun at this moment. (To be continued.) )
