Chapter 25 Sanctions

Chapter 25 Sanctions

Arthur walked towards the commander of the Tully family and observed the surrounding situation.

Nearly 500 people were in the middle of the two soldiers to prevent the two families from clashing again.

Some Tully soldiers were carrying the corpses, while the half-dead wounded were lying there waiting for rescue.

From time to time, small groups of soldiers, ranging from four to five to a dozen or so, arrived. They should be the nearby wealthy knights and minor nobles loyal to the Tully family.

The Blackwood weapons and equipment gathered by the Tully family were much more than those of the Bracken family. It seemed that the people on the north coast were much worse off than the people on the south coast.

But in fact, excluding Arthur, the Bracken soldiers had to pay the price of nearly 400 people to barely achieve the result of cutting down 300 people on the opposite side.

This is due to Andrew's efforts to gather the soldiers together and form a large circle at the beginning.

In this way, every soldier only needs to think about the enemy in front of him, and does not have to be careful about the sword coming from behind.

If they hadn't set up a formation and fought against each other, Bracken's five hundred soldiers would have been killed long ago.

There is no way, the difference in the number of people is too big.

As for Arthur, he had already rushed out at the beginning of the film, and then hammered through the Blackwood army over and over again.

He is a power player, and being crowded together limits his performance.

Facts have proved that this move is right.

The sledgehammer captured from Santaga was surprisingly useful. It was easy to break through defenses with blunt weapons against fully armored warriors.

Arthur wondered whether he should order a heavier sledgehammer for himself so that he could use it on the battlefield.

Count Tytos also came to Commander Tully, but after he saw Arthur coming out, he brought a dozen people to surround him before he dared to come.

A middle-aged man wearing fish scale armor looked at Arthur and the sledgehammer stained with red and white mucus in his hand, and let out a sigh.

"Why have I never heard of such a good player in Stone Fence City?" He said to Arthur with a smile.

Then he came over and patted Arthur on the shoulder, "My name is Desmond Greer, the coach of Riverrun."

Arthur nodded slightly, "I am Arthur, Lord Bracken of Moulin Rouge."

Desmond smiled and nodded: "Come to Riverrun when you have time, and let's discuss it."

"I must learn from you your clever trick." Arthur responded to this request.

After Count Tytos also arrived, a young man also wearing fish scale armor walked up to both parties.

Arthur guessed that this person was Edmure Tully, the marksman who would soon be famous in the Three Rivers.

"My father explicitly prohibited vassals from fighting each other, why are you acting like this?"

Edmure looked at the panicked Earl of Tytos, and then at Arthur Bracken, who looked calm and rosy due to exercise, and decided to start training with this unknown little nobleman.

After all, the Earl was from his father's generation and had a higher status, so it was not easy for him to disgrace him in front of everyone.

"Tell me, why do you want to fight with His Excellency the Earl? If there is no justifiable reason, you will be punished extremely severely."

Arthur was afraid that the evil Blackwood family would complain first, but he didn't expect Edmure to call him back first, and he had a better impression of him.

So he organized the language, starting from Brynden pretending to be a bandit and robbing the Riverside Village, to Santaga whipping three villagers to death, including a pregnant woman, to him preparing to seek justice from the Tully family but being killed by the Ravenstree City.

People stop here one by one.

And asked people to bring the bodies of Brynden, Roger, Santaga, Darren and his wife.

During this period, people from Raventree City interrupted several times, but Desmond and Edmure both scolded them and let Arthur finish speaking first.

"I don't care what reasons Brynden pretended to be a bandit." Arthur finally concluded, "but the Blackwood family should bear the consequences."

"I request Lord Hoster Tully, Lord Protector of the River, that I receive appropriate compensation for having my territory robbed, and that poor Darren and the families of the other two women who died tragically receive the justice they deserve."

Edmure looked at Lord Tytos, hoping for an explanation.

Although what Arthur said also made him think that the Blackwood family was too much, he still had to listen to what his family had to say.

Before the Earl of Crowtree City could speak, someone started to quibble loudly.

"Nonsense, Lord Edmure, he is talking nonsense." Roger, who was tied up, shouted, "That's not the case at all. We were just passing by the sweet water spring in our own territory, and we didn't expect to be kidnapped by this liar who was full of lies. Santaga

Sir, he came to the rescue out of justice and was seriously injured by him. Lord Edmure, please be aware of these circumstances."

Tytos looked at his eldest son and said loudly: "I only know that my eldest son, the heir of Crowtree City, was kidnapped by an unknown noble. I ask the Guardian of the River to seek justice for me."

Arthur was slightly angry: "If your son hadn't gotten sick and ran to my territory to pretend to be a bandit and rob him, could I have caught him? You have to be reasonable! Not to mention that it was your people who killed first, and tortured and killed a pregnant woman."

Darren was already trembling with fear when the two soldiers were slashing at each other. Fortunately, he was surrounded and was not injured.

After he was brought here, he saw so many nobles wearing exquisite and gorgeous armors, and he did not dare to speak. He knelt beside his wife's body and looked at her.

At this moment, seeing the lord arguing hard, and looking at the familiar but pale face of his wife, he finally mustered up the courage, opened his arms and asked Edmure:

"My wife and my soon-to-be-born child were beaten to death by this devil. Please let him acquit himself."

He pointed at Santaga who was tied up.

"Then I also wanted them to let the young master go. Who told them not to let him go?" Santaga argued, and glanced at Arthur. He really felt guilty in front of this man.

Edmure asked: "Then you kill first?"

"I am also doing it for the safety of the young master."

The eldest son of the Duke looked at the three corpses smeared with salt and said with sadness:

"After all, it's you Blackwood who are in the wrong. Otherwise, Your Excellency, the earl, will compensate each of these three families with 100 gold dragons, and give Mr. Arthur 500 gold dragons. Mr. Arthur will release all the prisoners, and then you

We will compensate each other for the losses of each other's armies, and the matter will be over."

"A hundred golden dragons, what kind of valuables are they?" Titos shouted regardless of his majesty, "They are just civilians. One golden dragon per person is already giving them respect."

Arthur was also not very satisfied with the verdict. He shouted loudly: "The murderer Santaga must die. Three lives are not just casual. In addition, the compensation given to me is also less. Is the eldest son of the earl worth five dollars?"

Baijinlong?"

The two of them had their own reasons and quarreled with each other.

There were many people in Crowtree City, and some of the tied people were yelling, and Brynden insisted on untying himself first.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Enough." Desmond shouted, "Listen to Lord Edmure."

People on both sides no longer argue, but they are obviously not convinced by each other.

"Everyone's life should be respected." Edmure considered his words, "I agree with Mr. Arthur's point of view, Santaga must die. In addition, Your Excellency the Earl must increase his bid."

Brynden also shouted at this time: "Yes, father, give this little nobleman in the countryside three thousand gold dragons. If you don't have enough money, it will be a loss of our family's face."

Titos glared at his troublesome son and told him to shut up, then said impatiently: "Okay, okay, give this greedy and brutal Bracken more money."

Just when everyone thought he agreed to Edmure's proposal, the Earl shouted again: "But Santagard must be alive. He is a member of my family. In order to save my son, he crushed a few bugs and should not be punished."

Arthur was furious and shouted: "Let's be human, what is a bug? Is the life of Santaga more noble than that of Darren's wife and the other two?"

Darren also groaned: "My poor wife and that... that unborn child!"

Edmure saw that there was going to be a quarrel again, so he hurriedly said to Xini:

"Okay, dead people cannot be resurrected, but Santaga is still alive. Let's do this, Mr. Arthur, let him live and give Darren and you more golden dragon compensation."

Everyone in Crowtree City started making noises when they saw Edmure supporting them.

"I'm satisfied, but I still want to blackmail you. I'll give you a thousand gold dragons, which is enough."

"It is only Lord Edmure and my Earl who are too kind that they allowed this barbarian to succeed."

"The lives of your three untouchables are worth Santaga's life?"

When Arthur saw that Edmure, like the Blackwoods, advocated letting Santaga, the murderer, live, he suddenly wanted to do something.

Although he also wants more golden dragons, that is only if justice is served.

Just a little more golden dragons allowed Darren's wife and three others to die unjustly, and the murderer could not get any punishment.

This obviously doesn't work!

Arthur walked towards Darren and asked softly: "Poor man, what kind of justice do you want? More golden dragons, or letting this murderer bow his head?"

Darren's eyes were full of tears, and he was so sad that he couldn't say complete words.

"I...my lord, I, I just want my wife and...and my children to get justice, so that this murderer deserves his life."

No one among the nobles present cared what he thought, he could only place his hope on Lord Arthur.

Fortunately, Lord Arthur has been fighting for him, which gave him some comfort in his painful heart.

"Okay, I get it."

Arthur nodded, and then slowly raised the sledgehammer in his hand.

He wanted to be more serious about things that no one else cared about.

"If my people don't get the justice they deserve, if this murderer doesn't get the punishment they deserve, if you still think that nobles can arbitrarily violate the lives of civilians and then pay a few gold dragons."

"Then, I, Arthur Bracken of the Moulin Rouge, hereby swear that I will get you the punishment I think you deserve."
