Chapter 26 Three thousand or ten thousand

Chapter 26 Three thousand or ten thousand

After Arthur finished his vow, the surroundings were silent, but then the quiet atmosphere was broken.

"Who are you? You are not worthy of sanctioning us." A senior officer of the Tully family shouted.

The people from Crowtree City also helped:

"How dare people from a territory with only a few villages dare to make such arrogant remarks."

"If it weren't for the help of your master on the south bank, you would have died long ago without a burial place."

"You are lucky that the earl is willing to give the golden dragon. Don't be shameless."

When Edmure saw Arthur acting like this, he not only liked his act of upholding justice for the people of his territory, but he was also afraid that he would go too far and completely offend the Blackwood family, which would end badly in the future.

So he gave some advice: "Mr. Arthur, don't be willful! The matter has come to this, so just accept it."

"Accept." Arthur tried to suppress his anger, "Why should I accept a situation where a murderer goes free?"

"Yes, in your eyes, I am just a small nobleman who is no different from a wealthy knight. My territory is only a little bigger, I only have two or three thousand citizens, and my castle doesn't even have a name."

"However, just like your subjects, Darren and the others also pay taxes to the lord on time every month and support me in exchange for my blessing."

"They would smile at me and call me Lord, and after the village was robbed, they would run to my castle and pray that I could get their property back."

"They are human beings, living human beings, with their own lives and their own joys and sorrows. They are definitely not worms in your mouth."

Arthur became more and more excited as he spoke, pointing his sledgehammer at Titos.

"Your Majesty the Earl thinks that the lives of his officers are important, but I also think that the lives of Darren's wife and his unborn child are also important."

"And you, the Riverkeeper Tully family." Arthur turned the sledgehammer to them, "You actually prevented me from upholding justice for my people. Are you worthy of the word guardian?"

"Today, I will do whatever I want for my Darren."

He glanced at the two families coldly, "I just want to kill Santaga. I'll see who dares to stop me."

After saying that, he strode to Santaga.

Seeing that Arthur was agitated, Desmond hurriedly protected Edmure.

The people in Crowtree City also gathered around the earl.

Santaga, perhaps knowing that his death was imminent, cried loudly: "Sir, please save me. I am your Blackwood family's loyal dog. Do you want an outsider to slap you in the face like this?"

Everyone in Crow Tree City also shouted:

"You dare?"

"If you kill him, we will plunder your territory and kill all your people to see how you protect your people."

Brynden also yelled from the side: "More money, we can add money, please don't kill him, please."

With tears in his eyes, Darren looked at his lord expectantly.

Watching his lord deliver justice for himself.

The crowd's voices could not affect Arthur's determination at all. He raised the hammer and hit it hard.

Bang!

As expected, the red and white ones mixed together and splashed far away.

It even splashed onto Brynden next to him, causing him to scream in terror.

When an officer of the Tully family saw Arthur ignoring their mediation, he shouted: "You are from the Moulin Rouge family, right? You will regret your willfulness. Our Tully family..."

"I don't care." Arthur interrupted him loudly, then turned to everyone in Blackwood, "I don't care about your threats either."

"I swear, as long as my people are harmed by you for no reason, even if it is just one person, I will want you to receive the same harm."

"Even if I become a landless noble and wander around like a dog without enough food or clothing, I will still fulfill this vow."

"This time, if one Santaga dies, I can reveal the matter. If next time, one person dies, I will choose one of the sons and daughters of Titos to take revenge."

He raised his chin towards the Earl of Crowtree City, "I heard that you have three sons and one daughter, so you have to watch carefully and don't let them leave that small, dark castle."

"I, Arthur Bracken, keep my word."

Every word came out of his mouth and fell into the ears of everyone around him.

It also fell on the hearts of many people.

Faced with Arthur's threat, everyone in Crowtree City did not dare to make a sound.

Edmure looked at Arthur quietly, feeling that his figure at this moment was really tall and majestic.

Isn't this what I want to be like?

Protect the people of Sanhe, uphold justice, punish evil and promote good.

"Wait, let's..."

The Tully officer who originally scolded Arthur wanted to say something else, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Edmure:

"That's enough. Is this ridiculous for a noble who protects his own people? Are we, Tuli, a treacherous and evil family?"

He suddenly made a decision, "Let's do this. Crowtree City will give Mr. Arthur a total of three thousand gold dragons as compensation for his and the people's losses. The remaining dead and seriously injured soldiers will be compensated according to the previous rules. Arthur

Sir, release all the prisoners, and Crowtree City will not be allowed to retaliate afterwards, that's it."

After beating Santaga to death with a hammer, Arthur's emotions were released. He calmed down and agreed to Edmure's proposal.

Seeing that Santaga's life could not be saved, the Blackwoods all looked coldly at Arthur.

However, they did not issue a threat. Presumably, they also took the Tully family's face into consideration and would not reject the proposal at this time.

"Then it's settled." Count Tytos said without any fluctuation in his tone.

"I'll send someone to get the golden dragon right now. When the time comes, I'll hand over the money and call someone else."

"Anyway, the three rivers will always flow, and we will have many opportunities to get along in the future."

When Arthur heard this, he smiled coldly.

He knew that this was the Earl of Crowtree City's hint to play with him later.

But our power is weak, and even today's five hundred soldiers are borrowed. In the future, we can only take one step at a time.

At this moment, a hearty laugh came.

"Hahaha, we do have a lot of opportunities to get along, Lord Titos."

When everyone heard the sound, they turned around and saw that a large group of soldiers were approaching with an old man on horseback.

The golden shield and horse flag clearly indicate that this is a member of the Bracken family.

Arthur recognized that this was his cousin, Lord Janos Bracken, the owner of Stonehedge City.

There were enough soldiers. Arthur's visual inspection showed that there were actually more soldiers than the Tullys.

"I have some different views on Lord Edmure's proposal. Young nephew, you'd better listen to my point of view."

Count Genos dismounted and walked towards Arthur and said: "A mere three thousand gold dragons only compensate you and the people for your losses, but they did not pay Brynden's ransom!"

He commanded the army to surround him and Arthur, and also surrounded the prisoners in the middle.

"For this matter, don't let us Bracken release your son without ten thousand golden dragons."

"Titos, who do you Blackwoods think you are, worthy of threatening my nephew Arthur?"
