Eldred didn't want to die together, so he could only block and dodge for a while, and it was difficult to fight back.

But this situation can't last long, Eldred's skills are quite good, and Charles's style of play will be very quickly depleted.

Next to Charles's name is the percentage of physical condition, which is rapidly declining.

80%；

70%；

Charles was already gasping for breath, and he kept on his way, completely ignoring Eldred's blade.

Each sword opened and closed widely, and it was a large-scale crackling slash, using up the strength of the whole body.

This style of play is usually lost in about two rounds......

But this is a duel of life and death.

Eldred may be able to strike first with every sword, but if he stabs Charles, he will also be hacked to death by Charles, and he will not want to trade his life for his life, so he will have to parry and dodge.

This style of play is naturally the guidance of the lord - in the arena of Fog Cage City, the swordsman who is good at exchanging injuries for injuries is how he won the real sword fighting championship.

Of course, the main reason was that the lord didn't want to be famous at that time, and he gambled on the opponent to win......

When Charles's condition had dropped to 61%, the lord finally found the right angle.

He quietly lifted the black cloak on his body slightly, as if he was worried that the cloak would be stepped on, and turned sideways.

The Lord was now standing diagonally across from Eldred, his bright half-body armor reflecting the dazzling sunlight into Eldred's eyes with the light of his body.

Charles was fighting for his life at this time, and Eldred didn't see it clearly, and he was slashed horizontally in the waist, and blood flew out at once.

However, the injury did not appear to be fatal.

Eldred turned back and fired back, forcing a panting Charles back, and was about to switch from defense to attack, when a bright light came into his eyes.

At this moment, Eldred's eyes were completely dazzled, and he covered his eyes and swung his sword twice, and without surprise he was struck by another sword, which stabbed him in the waist again.

Eldred understood now, and it was obvious that someone next to him was harming him and deliberately shaking his eyes.

He shouted angrily, "What man! Shameless! Is such a duel fair? ”

Then he swung his sword and quickly retreated, apparently intending to dodge it first.

But as soon as he took a few steps back, he heard a female voice screaming: "Ah! ”

Then a basket of flowers was thrown.

Eldred was covered by petals, and then he screamed, "Uh! ”

Eldred clutched his back in pain, stumbled back forward, then turned and swung his sword, but nothing was slashed, and then fell to the ground in pain.

It was Riva, who had been standing in the corner unobtrusively, and she had been sneaking around to find a place, and after so long of fighting, she had finally waited for Eldred to approach her.

Taking advantage of Eldred's quick retreat, she screamed and threw out the flower basket so that the petals blocked everyone's view, then poked a short iron stick at Eldred's waist and stabbed it before turning and running.

Like an ordinary frightened maid.

The sharp short iron stick was the half-cut iron chisel head that was cut off by Li Ang's sword.

Eldred already had a waist injury, and the thin and sharp iron pick completely stabbed into the back of the already bloody lake, and it was impossible to see it at all.

The lord was relieved that Charles and Riva had carried out his plan properly.

Pierced in the waist, there won't be much combat power anymore anyway, and if Eldred doesn't die in this case, it's really unscientific.

It's a pity that it didn't pierce his kidney, and if he pierced his waist, the effect should be better.

Now, it's up to Charles to be a little more perfect.

By this time, Charles had already panted and rushed forward, and slashed with his sword in both hands.

Eldred was lucky, lying on the ground and waving his sword to parry with all his might, and in this state he actually blocked the blade.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

But the iron stick at his waist did make him lose most of his strength, and in his haste, he blocked and was knocked down by the sword in his hand with a blow from the heavy hands.

Eldred rolled around, barely escaped, stumbled like a headless fly, and stumbled to King Ulrik's horse.

Aware of the situation he was in, Eldred did not say anything unfair, but hid behind the king's horse in a puff of smoke.

This scene is inexplicably familiar......

The lord shook his head, sure enough, there is a father and a son, and Rainier has done the same!

King Ulrique, of course, didn't want to be the sword blocker, but Eldred pulled at his saddle.

"Eldred, did you kill Count Oden? If you tell me the truth, maybe I can let the court judge you......"

The king didn't make any moves - the duel wasn't over yet, and he didn't want to affect the duel, so he simply asked.

"No...... It's not me ......."

Eldred was probably a bit of a fluke and didn't dare to admit it.

Ulrik's face sank - this answer is too ignorant, the king is to quickly turn over his nephew Andrew, since you don't admit it, then face the blood relatives for revenge.

The king clamped the horse's belly and drove the horse forward, intending to let the men out.

Charles pounced again.

With no weapon in his hand and a serious wound, Eldred naturally could not fight, so he grabbed the saddle and ran two steps to use the horse as a shield, but was overturned by the king's horse.

But the guy was lucky, the sword he had been knocked down earlier was just a few steps ahead of him.

Eldred slid off the ground with a flying pounce, grabbed his sword, and dodged Charles's full thrust.

He then rolled on the ground in a circle, intending to get up.

But Leon was 'rightly' standing in front of the king's horse, and when he saw the king riding forward, he leaned sideways and gave way a few steps, and then took a big step to the side, making the appearance of giving up his position.

But when he landed, the metal boot under his feet 'coincidentally' stepped on the ankle joint of Eldred's calf that was dragged on the ground after rolling......

"Kalo!"

Everyone heard the crisp sound, but no one said anything, after all, the lord had made a reasonable way for the king - Eldred seemed to have rolled to Leon's feet on his own......

It was just an unfortunate accident, and it wasn't intentional to look at it.

But this heavy kick caused Eldred, who had just gotten the sword, to drop his weapon again—the scene of throwing down the sword and hugging his ankle and wailing was also familiar, and the lord was quite nostalgic......

However, Forscher's throwing away his sword in the arena was only a surrender to end the match, while Eldred threw his sword in the dueling ring......

Blood revenge, a life-and-death duel doesn't care if you surrender or not.

"Ah...... Yes, I killed Oden! I plead guilty! Please send me to jail......"

Seeing that Charles had already galloped over, Eldred curled up on the ground, clutching his ankles in pain and screaming in despair.

Confession is indeed the only chance now, if the king is willing to intervene, confess his guilt and go to prison, maybe he will not die!

Unfortunately, no one had time to intervene, and Charles's sword was clearly unable to contain it - he had already pounced on Eldred halfway through his words!

This was another two-handed thump after a flying pounce, and the blade of the sword fell straight down!

Straight into Eldred's chest.

Eldred's mouth opened wide, and his hands subconsciously grasped the blade of the sword, but nothing came out of his mouth.

Blood poured out of the sword's blood groove and splattered on Charles's face.

Charles didn't blink, his expressionless hands held the hilt of the sword and twisted it around.

Eldred tilted his head and stopped moving, his eyes still open, just staring at the coffin of Count Auden.

The Countess took two steps forward and covered her mouth. On the seemingly calm face, two lines of tears fell silently.

Eldred is dead.

Died in front of the Countess's eyes, and the lord was not involved in any power dealings.

The murderer died in front of the coffin of the Count of Auden, and was beheaded by the Count's son, who confessed his crime before he died.

There is no more appropriate revenge than this.

The lord stepped back and hid his cloak. Seeing the Countess looking at him, he bowed slightly to the Countess.

Charles finally let go of the hilt of his sword and stood up, bowing his head towards King Ulrik: "Thank you to the gods and Your Majesty for witnessing my vengeance, and thank you for your justice!" ”

Then he knelt down on one knee towards Auden's coffin: "Father, I am Charles Fletcher, and your enemy has gone where he belongs!" ”

After saying that, he was already in tears.

Ulrike raised an eyebrow, "Good job." ”

After saying that, he rode away on horseback.

Before leaving, he glanced at Leon, and it was obvious that Leon's trick had been seen by the king—he was riding a horse in a higher position, and he could indeed see it more clearly.

"Charles, go carry the coffin and send your father back to Kwyn......"

Leon stepped forward and beckoned Charles to get up.

Charles walked to the coffin, wrapped his sleeve around his right forearm, and then took the place of the attendant in front of the right and lifted the coffin.

But then there was a muffled grunt of pain - he also had a wound on his left shoulder, and the heavy coffin made his wound ooze blood.

The lord had a sore tooth for a while, and subconsciously looked at the team panel.

This dropped from 50% to 39%......

Fortunately, it recovered to 40% after more than ten seconds, and it seems that it can hold on.

The coffin was heavy, and Charles's left shoulder was oozing blood, but he endured it, gritting his teeth in tears and moving forward step by step.

The Countess saw this scene and looked at Charles with a very soft look.

Ms. Joanna, who was beside her, also covered her mouth, and there were faint tears in her eyes.

Lehman, who was next to him, frowned.

He probably never thought that he would be able to get more approval from the Countess and Joanna in this way.

It is true that this is not a custom in the Pander continent either......

This kind of operation can only come from some ancient country.

Baron Herbard walked up to Leon and watched intently as Charles walked out of the city gate carrying the coffin.

"Baron Leon, where will Charles's fief be?"

Leon also watched Count Auden's coffin leave, and then turned his head: "What do you think of Fletcher Village?" ”

Hereward laughed silently and patted Leon on the shoulder: "Ha, it's good...... You're really the smartest kid I've ever met...... But the tax revenue of Fletcher Village can't afford to support six hundred sentinels......"

Well, of course, that's where Hereward and Oden first fought side by side.

Lord Lord grinned and showed a row of white teeth: "Only six hundred sentinels?" I thought it was thousands...... Lord Hereward, you probably don't know - I have enough money to buy the whole of Long River. ”

Hereward seems to be planning to retire, his Sentinels need a new Sergeant Major, and the Horn Summoning Ranger needs a new leader.

And this old man will probably look at Charles differently now - that's why Leon wants Charles to take revenge with his own hands, and let him carry the coffin with injuries for a show.

He wanted the old guys who were close to Auden to see it with their own eyes.

Although Ralph is not here, Ralph, who is from a civilian background and has a good temperament, is naturally the same kind as Charles, and he also needs Leon's support.

The son of the former Grand Master, who avenged his father with his own hands, has the qualities of being brave and determined and not afraid of strong enemies, has a simple and loyal filial piety, and has a big benefactor behind him.

A proper candidate for the next head of the regiment.

Yes, most of these qualities were deliberately designed by the Lord Lord—but at least Charles did.

In the eyes of the Countess or Hereward, what else is there to find fault with such an illegitimate child?

Moreover, the system that has not reacted for a long time has also been reminded again on this day, and there are several in one day.

'Your coaching skills have improved'.

'Your Domination Skill has improved'.

'Your tax officer, Charles Fletcher, raises your relationship to 100'.

'You've been honored'.

'You have gained dominance'.

……

"Thank you, Lord Leon."

After the crowd had dispersed, Riva came to the lord and once again made a lame aristocratic salute.

After stabbing Eldred with her own hands, she is now calm.

Eldred stabbed Auden in the back, and Leon also asked Riva to stab Eldred in the back, which was indeed the best way for Riva to retaliate.

"Riva, what are you going to do now, don't you go to Kewen Village to get married?"

The lord asked.

He was looking at the attributes he had just improved, and he was not enthusiastic.

Moreover, it wasn't meant to help Riva and get her involved, just because the bandit leader was a good fit for the plan.

"What do I do when I go to confess my relatives, I have the ability to support myself...... Avenge him simply because I hurt him, and I want to atone for my sins. ”

Riva looked at her right hand, "But this atonement is not enough...... So, I'm going to protect Charles. But I want to beg you, don't tell anyone about me, including Charles. ”

I didn't expect that this bandit leader still had this heart - it seems that she didn't really hate Auden that much, but she was extreme, although she was fooled into doing something wrong, but it was also human nature.

"You're willing to help my knights, and that's a good thing. As for your background, that's your own business, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

The lord nodded and prepared to leave.

"Wait, my lord, I'm sorry I took your things...... I will double it back to you in the future! ”

Riva stopped Leon, apparently because of the money and sword she had stolen.

"No, Riva, Count Auden has already helped you pay it off. He once said to me - the money you took from me was taken by my daughter again, and this is a retribution......"

Leon smacked Auden's tone as he watched Riva's tears fall again.

"You should go and watch your father be buried, Riva, and then work with Charles to protect the village of Fletcher. It would be Charles' fiefdom. ”

"Thank you, my lord, and I will return the favor to you, I swear."

It's not a game, and the lord didn't recruit Riva into the team.

It may be a better choice for her to continue to be a bandit and become a helper in the shadows.

The matter was resolved, but this incident caused a lot of changes in the situation in the kingdom.

In the afternoon of the same day, Amy's brother Lord Andrew was released—the murderer had been ambushed, and the king would not continue to detain his nephew.

But King Ulrik dismissed Andrew on the grounds that it had 'tarnished the dignity of the royal city guards'.

This is the way it should be, and there is nothing wrong with the reason.

The royal city guards were the king's own army, and the troops were all nobles, but Andrew allowed Baron Eldred to detain dozens of people, which really damaged the king's majesty.

If it was Li Ang, as soon as that group of armed guards was detained by the Qicha Fortress, he would definitely take the royal city guards directly into the Qicha Fortress and cut down whoever dared to stop him.

An army full of noble children doesn't need to be afraid at all. If they make trouble, their parents will intervene, and they may even control the Qicha Fortress in one fell swoop, and maybe they can become the owner of the Qicha Fortress.

But now, Andrew can only return to the village of Raven to be a small lord and run his knight domain.

The Seven Forks Fortress was taken over by King Ulrik as a direct domain and became the army garrison directly under the king.

- On the day Eldred was killed, the Lion Knights were sent to the Seven Forks Fortress to take over the army.

By the next day, King Ulrique had declared Eldred and Rainier guilty of treason, and the Seven Forks Fortress had been placed under the King's direct rule.

And the evidence of the crime is the letter forged by the lord that could not be used as evidence for the accusation......

The king probably owes Leon to Leon for killing Rainier and providing the father and son with 'incriminating evidence' of treason, so King Ulrique can pick up this big bargain.

Ser Lehman did not go to Fort Shield, he did not even go to the village of Kwyn to preside over the burial of his father-in-law - he temporarily took over the defense of the Seven Forks as the deputy head of the Lion Knights.

And the defense of the Shield Fortress was assigned by King Ulrik to a man no one expected - Baron Leofric.

This is the baron with the griffin coat of arms that Godric once mentioned, he was originally the lord of the village of Kwyn, the place where Auden was buried, the home of the countess.

But it was not given to him the Shield Castle, which is now still nominally owned by Auden's daughter, Joanna.

The king simply appointed Baron Leofrick to temporarily manage the military affairs of Fort Brave.

Just as Grand Duke Alma temporarily managed the affairs of Long River.

This is actually a commission from the Countess, who will move back to her hometown of Kwyn to live, and the Lord of Kwyn, Leofrick, will go to the Shield Fort to guard the border, which is probably what each side needs.

Ralph, although a friend of Oden, was clearly not a friend of the Countess...... Moreover, his frontier territory was sold to Leon, and it was no longer under the jurisdiction of Fort Yongdun.

At the same time, before leaving Lion City, the Countess did transfer the village of Fletcher to Leon - to Charles, to be exact.

The transfer price is 1 dinar.

Today, the de facto administrators and nominal rulers of these places are as follows:

The town of Long River – Grand Duke Alma; (Nominally belonging to the unwarranted 'child' of Duke Elfwan)

Fort Shield – Baron Leofrick; (Nominally belonging to Joanna, daughter of Earl Auden)

Forts of the Seven Forks – Sir Lehman; (Eldred and his son were treasonous, and the Seven Forks Fortress was taken under the direct jurisdiction of the king)

Fletcher Village – Charles; (Belongs to Leon)

Border Station – Ralph; (Belongs to Leon)
