On a lawn at the top of the mountain, a stone platform was built with stones. Next to the stone platform were placed silverware, candles, daggers and other utensils. There was also a wooden cage on the grass beside the stone platform, which contained a prisoner.
I got a white dove, these are used for sacrifices.
There were more than a dozen neatly dressed nobles standing around Shitaizi. These were the lords of Gray Woodland who did not participate in this war. They were invited to come here as witnesses.
Everyone was standing or sitting talking, as if waiting for something.
When it was almost ten minutes at noon, two teams of more than ten people each came to the top of the mountain. They were Baron Bamke and his knights who set up a hyena flag, and Campbell and his knights who set up a giant bear flag.
The nobles on the lawn quickly gathered around: "Baron Campbell, Baron Bamke!"
After a brief greeting, Campbell said straight to the point: "Let's skip the red tape. I'm not here to attend a banquet."
Everyone frowned, this arrogant attitude made people feel uncomfortable.
An older nobleman came forward and said: "The Baron is right. I am here just to act as a witness to witness a great and sacred oath. I am not here to have family affairs. Let's get straight to the point."
This is Baron Fels, a nobleman with a good reputation in Gray Woodland. It was he who arranged the venue for this negotiation.
The old god Phils smiled and said: "Two barons, I have prepared the cost of the sacrifice. So, let us begin under the witness of the old and new gods. I believe that everything will change today.
history."
The knights and nobles stopped in the outer circle, and Campbell, Bamke and Phils came to the stone platform.
Phils arranged the two silver wine glasses, then picked up the dagger on the table, opened the cage and caught the white pigeon inside, and made an incision in the throat and belly of the pigeon.
"Tick tock!"
Soon, the drinking cup was filled with bright red pigeon blood.
Then, Phils added platycodon, lettering grass, fruit and other ingredients to the cup in turn, and at the same time solemnly recited an oath: "In the witness of the old and new gods, I, Phils Carlo
Today, I was entrusted by Baron Bamke and Baron Campbell..."
The sacrificial wine was prepared, the sacrificial words were recited, and finally both parties drank the sacrificial wine with their own blood. Then Bamke swore an oath to Campbell, and the negotiation was declared over.
Such a set of traditional etiquette will have legal significance. If any party violates the content of the oath in the future, all the nobles in Graywood will be shamed. No noble will support the party that violates the oath.
"Then, two barons, please."
Phils pushed two silver goblets filled with red wine in front of Campbell and Bamke.
Bamke picked up the glass and was about to drink it.
But at this moment, Campbell suddenly said: "Slow down!"
Bamke suddenly stopped bringing the wine glass to his lips, and he looked at Campbell in confusion.
Phils asked: "Is there anything else? Your Excellency, Baron?"
Campbell's eyes fell on Bamke opposite him, he twisted his lips and said bluntly: "Baron Bamke, I don't feel any sincerity from you at all. I have reason to doubt whether you are sincere to me."
My allegiance?"
Bamke frowned: "I haven't sworn to you yet, but after you drink the sacrificial wine and end the ceremony, I will show the attitude I should have as a human minister."
"So, any questions?"
Campbell shook the red liquid in the cup, and then suddenly said: "I want to drink your cup."
Bamke's expression froze.
Phils's face changed slightly, and he quickly pressed: "Baron Campbell, Baron Bamke spent a lot of effort to convince his knights and lords to make today's decision. I think you should stop being aggressive."
Some senseless behavior."
Campbell looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Is this pointless?"
He slammed the wine glass on the stone table with a 'pop' sound: "If Baron Phils thinks it's meaningless, then just drink this glass of wine and test it!"
Phil's expression changed.
Campbell continued: "What? Does the Baron dare not test the wine for not speaking for so long? Is there something wrong with the wine?"
His voice became colder.
Phils's face changed wildly, and he quickly lowered his head to avoid Campbell's sight.
The surrounding nobles looked at each other with a bad feeling in their hearts, and the knights on both sides had already put their hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists.
The venue fell into an eerie silence, and a chilling atmosphere quickly spread.
After a while.
"Bang!" With a crisp sound, Bamke slammed the silver wine glass in his hand onto the stone table, and the red wine spilled on the floor.
"I've told you not to talk nonsense to people like Campbell. The best way to deal with such a self-righteous thing is to cut him to the ground directly."
After cursing, Bamke pulled out the cross sword from his waist, and following his movements, both knights also drew their swords together. For a while, the sound of metal interlacing continued, and the atmosphere instantly became...
The swords were at war.
"Qiang Qiang!"
The expressions of all the nobles changed greatly, and they quickly shouted: "Bamke, what do you want to do? Are you going to break your oath?"
Bamke said unceremoniously: "Fuck your oath, Ringing Arrow!"
"Boom!!!" There was a loud and crisp sound.
A short arrow suddenly shot straight into the sky, and then exploded in the air with a 'Boom!' sound, turning into a sky-filled brilliance that spread around.
Bamke raised his head and glanced at the fireworks exploding in the air, with a look of ferocity on his face.
He kicked over the stone platform and ordered with a sneer: "Kill them all!"
The battle is about to break out.
The two sides led their respective knights into a fierce battle. For a while, only the sound of metal interlacing could be heard, and the sparks aroused when the cross swords clashed shot up into the sky.
The nobles who came to witness were completely stunned and couldn't believe that Bamke would really kill the sacred ceremony.
"Clang!" There was a loud noise.
Bamke's cross sword and Campbell's cross sword collided hard, and the huge force from their wrists made both of them numb, but both sides were holding on to the cross sword and could not retreat at all.
For a moment, the two cross swords were pressed against each other tightly, their cheeks were almost touching, and they could even feel each other's breathing.
Taking advantage of this skill, Bamuke sneered: "All the women in the wilderness look like bears. After my father had sex with your mother once, he wanted to drive her back to his hometown. It's a pity that it was just that one time.
There you have it, you bastard."
Campbell sneered and hit back without hesitation: "My good brother, I heard that you slept with your niece two days ago? And you shared her with the guards around you? Even though Grafton is not something worthy of praise.
Family, but you are really a talented person who did such a bad thing. After cutting off your head, I will find a few scholars to sing and praise your great achievements."
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
There were two more heavy sounds of metal interlacing, and then the cross swords were stuck together again. The "chacha" sound when the sharp sword blades rubbed showed that the cross sword wrestling was still going on, and the winner was still undecided between the two sides.
.
Bamke said: "Do you really think you are a loyal and upright gentleman? Then why did you act like a turtle when Albert was beheaded? Didn't you kneel on the ground and point to the sky and swear allegiance to him?
?"
It seemed that he was talking about Campbell's pain point, but his expression changed.
This expression did not escape Bamke's eyes, and he quickly added insult to injury and continued to mock: "Do you know? I cut off your dear brother's head with my own hands, using this sword, hahaha!"
He yelled angrily, and the cross sword in his hand suddenly exerted force, and with a sound of 'Boom!', Bamke was sent flying.
Although both of them are Lionheart Knights, Campbell is obviously more powerful.
After knocking Bamke away, Campbell pursued the victory and continued to move forward with the cross sword in hand. He was about to get into a fight with Bamke again, but at this moment, a cramped horn sound sounded.
"Woooooooooo!~"
At the same time, the woods in the distance shook for a while, and there were faint shadows of people flickering. It was obvious that a large number of people and horses were surrounding them towards the top of the mountain.
Bamke looked overjoyed.
He laughed and said: "Hahaha, Campbell, your end has come!"
The expressions of all the nobles suddenly changed.
Only Campbell and his knights remained calm, as if they were not aware of the changes around them.
The fighting between the two sides temporarily stopped, and each held a sword in a stalemate.
After a while.
"rustle!"
The treetops swayed, and then a soldier in armor walked out. However, when he saw the clothes of these soldiers and their flags clearly, Bamke's original unrestrained smile suddenly froze on his face.
He looked forward with his pupils narrowed and his voice was unbelievable: "How...how could it be?"
The giant bear flag was flying high in the wind, and what came out of the woods was definitely not the ambush he had laid out in advance, but Campbell's army!
A young voice sounded: "Long time no see, Baron Hyena."
A young man wearing a cloak walked out of the woods riding a giant bear, his black hair flying in the wind.
