Hearing this, Ryan only paused, still slashed the sword in his hand, a puff of blood splashed, a terrible scream sounded, Brace's right arm was suddenly cut off shoulder to shoulder, and the severe pain suddenly made him faint.

"Your Excellency!"

The chief knight's eyes were split, and he hurriedly rushed up with the militia, shouting: "Admit defeat, we admit defeat......"

Alan was not idle, and when he saw some movement on the opposite side, he immediately led the soldiers of the second battalion to surround him, protecting the layers of swords, swords out of sheaths, spears like forests, cold light met the blazing sun, and the murderous atmosphere was awe-inspiring.

"Stop, are you going to sabotage the noble duel?" Alan shouted loudly, in his education, as long as he agreed to the duel, for the glory of the nobles, then he had to divide life and death!

"Keep people, keep people."

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves gradually progressed, and a well-equipped cavalry stepped on the mud, and Ryan finally put down the blood-stained blade in his hand, and looked at the person with a frown, and the moment the other party spoke, he understood who it was.

"Knight Commander Lacey, do you want to get involved in the duel between us?"

Ryan pushed aside the crowd and said indifferently to the dusty ranks.

The team stopped nearby, and the team of hundreds of people seemed to be scattered, but the movements were uniform, and the riding skills were extremely exquisite, and the high-speed galloping horses soon stopped, kicking up a cloud of dust.

At the head is a burly cold-faced man, none other than Lacey, the chief knight of Chels!

His bright armor was covered with mud spots, and he looked a little tired, as if it had been a long long run, which had made the mighty knight a little tired.

Hearing Ryan's questioning, Lacey's face was as cold as ever, but he said in a sincere tone: "Ray, you misunderstood, I don't want to get involved in your glorious duel, but now that you have won, I only hope you will spare its life." ”

"I need a reason."

Ryan looked indifferent, although he respected Chels, but it did not mean that he wanted to take his lead as a leader, and he had to fight for this kind of matter related to sovereignty and not give an inch.

Between nobles, as between men and women, there is no pure friendship, only interests come first.

"I have here a handwritten letter from Lord Viscount, and he said that you will decide his life and death after reading it." Ray carefully took out a leather bag from his bosom and handed it to Ryan.

Alan stepped forward to take it instead, and after checking that there was no danger, he opened it and handed it to Ryan, and he took out a piece of animal skin paper inside, which was indeed Chels's note.

He read it patiently, and his brows gradually furrowed, If that's the case, it might be a bit of trouble to kill him.

Looking up at Reis, the other party had been quietly waiting for a reply, and he said in a flat tone: "I want to talk to you alone, and please let your people help watch, if the other party has any actions, we will not be responsible for the consequences." ”

Les breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and as soon as he let go, he turned over and dismounted, and gave a few orders to the team behind him.

"Look at them, don't continue the conflict, if anyone doesn't have long eyes, there will be no mercy."

Seeing this, the chief knight of Blaise was suddenly a little confused, he naturally knew Lacey, but he originally thought that the other party was here to help, but he didn't expect this to be the case.

Lacey didn't care what they were thinking, and after the warning, he and Ryan went to a place farther away from the crowd, and he vaguely knew what Ryan was going to ask.

Sure enough, the first thing Ryan asked him was, "If I kill him, what price will I have to pay?" ”

"Lord Viscount should have told you in the letter, if you kill him, you will definitely go to the court of nobles, even if Lord Viscount helps you operate, your best ending is to go to the front line instead of him.

Your foundation is not yet solid, and your foundation is not deep, and Lord Viscount and I agree that this is not worth it, of course, how you choose in the end is your business, and I will not interfere. ”

Lacey sighed and said something to Ryan that only the two of them could understand, believing that Ryan would be able to make the right choice because he was a smart man.

If he made the wrong choice, then it would prove that Chels had seen the wrong person, and naturally there would be no value in continuing to invest, and whatever happened at that time had nothing to do with him.

Ryan suddenly laughed silently, the content of the letter was simple, because the flames of rebellion were spreading day by day, and the nobles of the next door Marton County were already exhausted, and there were faint signs of defeat.

In view of this situation, a week ago, the Guardian of the South, Grand Duke Douglas, ordered the mobilization of some nobles from the province of Grimm to quell the rebellion, and Blaise happened to be on the mobilization list, and was scheduled to lead the team to Marton County next month.

The order had arrived only a few days before, and before it could reach Brace's hands, the trip had happened. The Marton family's eyes are all over the province, and such a big thing as the border armed confrontation naturally can't be hidden from Chels.

Chels knew after seeing the news of the spies that it was broken, no matter who won or lost on both sides, they would suffer heavy losses, where was the spare strength to participate in the counterinsurgency?

Grand Duke Douglas was known for his seriousness and toughness, and if Blaise died at the hands of Lane, it was certain that he would go to the court of nobles, even in a formal duel.

Because according to the laws of the kingdom, the nobles who are conscripted belong to the military of the kingdom, and no one is allowed to launch a glorious duel against them, and the punishment for violating them is very severe.

If the opponent is killed in a duel, it will be even more serious, and in the serious case, he will even be directly executed after being tried by the noble court, and the best result will be to atone for his previous obligations.

This originally had nothing to do with Chels, but considering that Lane was weak, he was easily vulnerable in the conflict, and if he failed, he was likely to die.

If he wins by luck, the loss will definitely not be small, and when the time comes, replacing Blaise on the battlefield will probably be a meat bun and a dog.

No matter what the result is, it is not what he wants to see, appreciating Lane is one aspect, the main two sides still have entanglements of interests, and the sales of green sugar are very good.

In a short period of time, Chels occupied the "sugar" market in most of the provinces, which can be described as making a lot of money, and the supply quota agreed with Ryan every month has risen again and again, which is not enough to sell.

Therefore, he decided to give Lane a hand, so Peres led the elite of the family day and night, and finally arrived in time.

So, the choice was placed in front of Ryan, to kill or not to kill?

In terms of personal feelings, Ryan wants to kill the other party directly. But looking at the big picture, it is not possible to kill now, for a very realistic reason, Khanna is not ready to participate in the war.

If you think about it with your ass, you can know that the rebellion has been going on for so long, and so many forces have been mobilized to quell the rebellion, but not only has it not been effective, but it has a tendency to intensify.

Of course, there are factors such as the aristocrats not contributing to the work and dragging each other back, but the strength of the rebels is certainly not as simple as a group of armed peasants, and if they rush into it, they may be torn to pieces.

It's hard to have a little money, and if you fold it in, it will take a long time to recover, and the cost is too great.

"Blaise took the initiative to provoke me several times, and he was already a mortal enemy, just letting him go like this will also be a hidden danger in the future, it is better to do it once and for all."

Ryan's eyes flashed with coldness, and from his heart, he naturally wanted to eradicate this mad dog.

"Ray, you have to think clearly, killing him won't solve all the problems, there are still people in the Brace family who can inherit the title, and at that time it will really be endless. And you also sent troops in their place, can you still fight? ”

Seeing the killing intent that appeared on Ryan's body, Lacey still spoke out to persuade him, it was very irrational to easily make an enmity with a nobleman, he was afraid that the young man would be vigorous and impulsive.

The meaning of his words is clear, unless you kill all the heirs of the Brace family, it will not be possible to do it once and for all.

But is it possible? It's obviously impossible, even if he really does it, then he can think about where he will be reincarnated in the next life.

Sometimes, people have to learn to compromise and it's not a shame to bow to reality, because that's the case for everyone, except for the legendary all-knowing and all-powerful God.

Restraining his smile and sighing faintly, Ryan had already made a choice in his heart. Lacey is right in saying that one trades off the other, counterinsurgency needs to be substantiated, as long as you give yourself some more time, Blaise will no longer be a problem.

Of course, this also had to be if Blaise could come back alive from the battlefield, after all, the number of nobles killed in the battle had already exceeded double digits.

"I see what you and the Viscount mean, Knight Commander Lacey. I can only say that this incident was too coincidental, and he was lucky enough to save his life, otherwise he would have been a corpse since he challenged me. ”

Ryan turned and walked towards the crowd, and although he decided to let Blaise bounce for a while longer, something had to be settled.

The two of them went for a long time, and Brace, who had a broken arm, was already dying at the moment, bleeding all over the ground, and Alan and the others had no intention of stopping the bleeding for him.

The chief knight had the intention of snatching his own baron back for treatment, but when he looked at the cavalry standing in a row in front of them, he extinguished this thought.

Regardless of their status, there were only about a hundred of them, but they were led by a squad of ten knights, and the rest were all well-equipped and elite cavalry.

Originally, it was enough to fight, and with such a team, he didn't have the slightest confidence.

He is also a knight, and he knows what kind of amazing role a knight squad can play in the army, which is not at all the same order of magnitude as an ordinary army.

Seeing the two of them returning, the chief knight immediately cast a earnest look at Lacey, he knew that whether his baron could survive today or not depended on his will.

Ryan didn't speak, but picked up the severed arm that was still a little warm on the ground and removed the ring from his finger. It didn't take long for him to see that this ring was not ordinary, like an extraordinary weapon, and the power of Blaise's shot was more than a notch stronger than before.

This is also his trophy, and naturally it is impossible to return it.

Putting the ring in his pocket, ignoring the eyes of the people around him, he said to the chief knight in front of him: "You can bring it back, but the premise is to exchange my people, not a single one, and you have to spit out all the illegally seized materials."

In view of the fact that this incident was entirely caused by you, I also need you to make up for the mental damage and apologize to my people one by one. ”

When the chief knight heard this, he suddenly felt that his blood pressure had suddenly soared to one hundred and eighteen, and it would be okay to release him, what the hell is the mental loss fee?

"You can release people, and there will be no shortage of materials, but the mental damage fee is impossible, just a group of untouchables. On the contrary, it was the Baron who lost an arm, and he was the one who deserved the most compensation! He tried to suppress his anger and said in a deep voice.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder began to permeate again, Lacey shook his head and said coldly: "Enough, you may not know that Blaise has been recruited by the Grand Duke, and according to the laws of the kingdom, he cannot accept or initiate a duel, but he has violated the law, and according to the law, he will be tried by the noble court."

It's just that since the order has not yet been delivered, the Grand Duke will also open the net, but he was completely to blame for being wounded in the duel, and Baron Black was already very merciful and generous in not killing him directly. But do you still have to ask for compensation, and the spirit of nobility? ”

This split head and cover face made the chief knight stunned, and the requisition order?

Naturally, he would not doubt the authenticity of this sentence, no one dared to steal the name of the Grand Duke in the southern border to deceive, and those who did so all died miserably.

He was silent for a moment, hesitated for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "I can be the master and return the person to you, but the matter of compensation is not up to me, give me a little time." ”

The chief knight is of course Brace's right-hand man and confidant, but there are too many compensation involved, and he does not dare or have the right to make a decision.

If the lord himself cannot decide for himself, he has to ask the opinions of the family and the political officer.

"Hehe, understand, you just have to go back and discuss. I just have to send my man over quickly, or I can't guarantee his state of life. ”

Ryan generously expressed his understanding, but he only said it nicely, and he had no intention of letting people go at all, and it was impossible for him to release him before his promise was fulfilled.

The chief knight's face was blue and uncertain, but he dared not speak angrily, and called a few of the lord's henchmen as witnesses, and he set off with a full face, and he didn't even have time to shout a cruel word.

"Ray, this ......"

Allen's expression was complicated, and he didn't understand why he let the other party go.

"I'll explain to you later, you need to find someone to treat his wounds first, and you can't let him die."

Patting him on the shoulder, Ryan turned to Lacey and said, "Please also ask the chief knight to greet His Excellency the viscount for me when I go back, and I will personally come to the door to thank you when I have time!" ”

"It's best if you can figure it out, Lord Viscount admires you and puts you in the position of an ally. I hope you don't be impulsive when you encounter problems, and if you are not sure, you can ask the Viscount to give you a counselor.

You're young and the possibilities are endless. ”

Lacey nodded, he knew that he was right, Ryan was right, smart people made smart choices, compromise is also a kind of growth, nobles often need to compromise more than ordinary people.

Ryan is not a fool, of course, Lacey brought such an elite army not simply to send him a letter, maybe he also has the worst plan - if the melee has already happened, he will use force to interfere in the situation!

And the object of their help is naturally self-evident......
