There were several poplar trees between him and Baron Anthony's territory.
A serf in his own territory defecated under a tree, and Anthony, who was patrolling the territory, happened to see it. Then, unless the serf crossed the 38th parallel, the serf was going to be executed.
Generally speaking, the lord has the power of life and death over his own serfs, but other people have no right to interfere. Dealing with the serfs of other nobles privately is regarded as a provocation to the noble.
Therefore, this matter is not just about serfs crossing the line, but that guy Anthony wants to use this as a starting point to humiliate Chris.
Ten minutes later, Chris arrived at the easternmost part of the territory, where the incident occurred.
Here, there are many people around.
Under a poplar tree, there was a young man wearing luxurious clothes. He looked to be in his twenties, with short chestnut hair and gray-brown pupils.
He is Chris' neighbor, Baron Anthony.
When he saw Chris arriving, the corners of Anthony's mouth turned up. Hanging from the poplar tree next to him was a man in ragged clothes.
The man's clothes were in tatters, there were many whip marks on his body, and he let out a weak moan.
"Anthony, what do you want to do?" Chris dismounted and asked coldly.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Anthony chuckled, "Your serf entered my territory. This is a provocation to me, so I want to execute him."
"I, I didn't..." The hoisted serf made a weak voice.
"Pa!" Anthony slapped him directly in the face, leaving a red slap mark, "You crossed one foot!"
Chris' face darkened, this guy came here deliberately to cause trouble today.
I didn't expect that I would encounter something like this on my first day after traveling through time.
If it were the weak Chris in his predecessor, he might have suffered the loss of being dumb.
But now Chris is a time traveler. He has never been a master who is willing to suffer losses. He was famous for being a fierce fighter when he was a student. As long as he dares to mess with him, no matter whether he can fight or not, he will roll up his sleeves and do it.
.
"Let him go! Now!" Chris roared angrily.
Anthony was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly.
When did this weak and incompetent neighbor become so tough?
Not only him, but also the chief knight Jonathan was slightly surprised.
In the past, my lord would tolerate it as long as he could. When did he become so overbearing?
Anthony took out a dozen silver coins from his arms, tossed them at Chris' feet, and said, "I bought this guy's life."
If it were Chris from before, I'm afraid he would have accepted this deal.
After all, a dozen silver coins were more than enough to buy the life of a serf.
But today's Chris would not compromise like this. He roared again: "I asked you to let him go!"
"Then what if I don't let go?" Anthony said jokingly.
"Jonathan, draw your sword!" Chris shouted.
Along with a sonorous sound, Jonathan and the four first-order knights took out their weapons one after another.
"Oh, I'm afraid you won't succeed." Anthony sneered.
The strength of both sides is evenly matched, with one third-level knight and four first-level knights.
But Anthony himself is also a first-order knight, while Chris is an ordinary person, and the gap becomes apparent here.
"Charge!" Chris took the lead and rushed towards Anthony.
"Sir, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time." Jonathan also approached the third-level knight on the opposite side. He has been suffering from anger for half a year since he came to this territory, and today he can finally vent his anger.
Dozens of serfs watched quietly from a distance. Although they were under Chris's command, this was a battle between nobles and knights, and they had no right to intervene.
"You don't know how high the sky is, you boy!" Anthony released his silver fighting spirit, "Don't blame me for not saving face for you."
"Then let's try it!" Chris also released his fighting spirit. He is now in the stage of a trainee knight, and his fighting spirit is far inferior to Anthony, a first-level knight.
"Bang!"
The fists wrapped in fighting spirit collided together, and the powerful counterattack made Chris take four or five steps back.
But Anthony just took two or three steps back, he chuckled and said: "So what if you awaken your fighting spirit, you are just a trainee knight. Let's see how I teach you today!"
He casually picked up a branch from the side and used it as his weapon.
"Then let's try it!" Chris ran quickly, and when he was about to rush in front of the opponent, he raised his foot and kicked up a piece of sand, throwing it into the opponent's eyes.
Anthony quickly covered his eyes with his hands.
Chris took advantage of this opportunity to throw Anthony to the ground and attack him.
Chris's style of play was rather rogue. He almost used all his methods, scratching with his nails and biting with his teeth.
Soon, numerous wounds appeared on Anthony's face and body.
"Ah! Ah!" In pain, Anthony waved his fist and hit Chris.
Chris was unmoved and bit the other person's ear. Blood flowed from between his teeth, and scratched the other person's face with his nails.
In an instant, five blood stains appeared on Anthony's face.
This rogue style of play stunned everyone present.
Even the ten knights in the battle stopped what they were doing and stared blankly.
"Quick, help me!" Anthony stretched out a hand.
The other knight's knight glanced at Jonathan and said, "If this continues, both lords will be injured. Should we pull them apart?"
Jonathan nodded with deep understanding.
So, regardless of their previous grudges, the ten knights ran over quickly and forcibly pulled Chris and Anthony apart.
Anthony's face was scratched, his ears were full of blood, and his clothes were in a mess. He was shaking with anger, pointing at Chris and saying: "You, you madman, you are simply not worthy of being a noble!"
At this time, Chris's face was also bruised and bruised. He spat out the blood in his mouth and said, "Whether you deserve to be a noble or not is not your decision. If you mess with me next time, you will suffer the most!"
"You! You! You!" Anthony said the word "you" three times in a row, leaned back, and fainted.
"Take him and get out of here. If he comes to my territory again to cause trouble, his end will be worse than today!" Chris said coldly.
Even Anthony's third-level knights felt chills in their hearts when they looked at him like that.
Several knights from the other side carried Antony on their shoulders and walked away in despair.
"Put him down." Chris pointed at the middle-aged serf who was hanging on the tree and said.
No matter what, this poor guy suffered this unreasonable disaster because of the conflict between the two lords.
