Chapter 464, Honor Showdown

PS: No one should find out about secretly adding a new chapter.

"So, you traitors! I only give you two choices!" Thoughts only swirled in Duke Hagen's mind. The Duke himself is a noble Holy Grail Knight, and he was also concerned about such a big incident in his territory. Feeling very angry, but he didn't know what to do.

As a model of chivalry and a person who has both the eight virtues of chivalry, the Duke of Hagen, who has gone through the Holy Grail expedition, of course understands the sufferings of the people, and of course feels sad for the serfs in such a miserable situation. Reason tells him that it is not the fault of the serfs. , Kemmler himself who should be eternally damned! He deserves the harshest punishment from the lady!

Well, Kemmler is dead, and the score is closed.

However, as a ruler, Duke Hagen clearly knew that if the sins of the rebellious serfs were pardoned very easily, it would set a very bad precedent, which the Duke could not accept.

Duke Hagen really can't think of a solution to the problem. If possible, he would rather ride a war horse in the name of the fairy of the lake and use his own personal bravery to solve the problem. It is really a pity for him to think of a way to solve this dilemma Embarrass him.

At this moment, the newly promoted Sir Bertrand found the Duke of Hagen with Ryan's method. In short, he sang red face and bad face at the same time.

Duke Hagen knew something about Bertrand's deeds. Although he looked down on this mud-legged knight from the bottom of his heart, Bertrand seriously injured Kemler after all, which made the Duke himself have a good impression of him again. After receiving Bertrand's opinion, the Duke was very happy. This is a good way, so let's do it!

So in front of the rebel serfs, the soldiers stepped aside and gave way to two paths.

The first road leads to the barn next to it. There are dwarves standing there with weapons. The elite dwarf troops are holding sledgehammers and giant axes. According to the agreement, we need manpower to farm in the valley below the Blackstone stronghold. All serfs who are willing to take the initiative to farm in the valley, you must go to farm in the valley. Start from nothing, and your lives will be lost. Yours no more! Do what the dwarves want you to do!"

"After five to eight years of planting, if you perform well, you can atone for your rebellion, and then you can restore your status as a leader!"

"Or, if you don't want to! There is a second way to choose!" Raymond pointed his hand back: "Please start your performance!"

The second road leads to Xingchang, where five or six executioners stand under the execution ground, and seven or eight nooses swing back and forth in the air.

The serfs swallowed their saliva. At this time, anyone with a little IQ would know how to choose.

"I... how do we know that you are not deceiving us?" An old serf came out tremblingly and asked, "It's not that we don't believe it, but..."

"The Duke will not deceive you, because this is an agreement with King Belegar. It is not the Duke who needs manpower, but King Belegar who needs manpower! Dwarves never deceive others!" Raymond personally said: "As for the degree of credibility, everyone Ladies and gentlemen, I can assure you, it's absolutely believable!"

"How can you guarantee that it is absolutely credible?" Another serf questioned.

"Because I'm the same as you!" Raymond took off his round hat,

He pointed to his face: "I am also a fleeing serf! Fortunately, I escaped to the territory of the Earl of Glamorgan, His Excellency Lane Machado! After hard work to atone for sins, he became a conscript, and then became a soldier of the Earl, and was finally entrusted Captain! I'm a sergeant now? Do you see? I'm a freeman!"

"Take my word for it, I swear to the lady, it's all true!"

"Boom!" Like a cannonball exploding among the rebel serfs, their private discussion became active.

"Master knights would be so kind?"

"Come on, it's not that you haven't heard, it's not the duke who wants to pardon us, but the dwarves need people to farm the land!"

"This is good! As long as they need us to farm for them, they will definitely not kill us casually!"

"The Duke is a noble Holy Grail Knight, he will certainly not lie!"

"Is that Raymond really a runaway slave? I don't think it looks like it?"

"He swore to the lady! How could it be fake?!"

After a while of discussion, the serfs made a logical decision.

"We are willing to help the dwarves farm the land!"

…………

"Lyan~ Do you think those rebel serfs will agree to farm for the dwarves? Will the Duke of Hagen agree?" Inside Ryan's winery, the earl himself was working, with a pair of white jade-like arms embracing Ryan's from behind. neck, asked in a low voice.

"Yes, Holy Grail knights are not like many nobles in your empire. During their long expeditions, every Holy Grail knight is well aware of the sufferings of the people." Ryan corrected the document, and he smiled meaningfully: "Hagen Although the Duke is not very good at internal affairs, one advantage of this Duke is that he is willing to let go. He may not be able to think of a solution to the problem, but he is definitely willing to agree to our conditions. He needs a step, and we also want it."

"That's it~ Mr. Ryan is really amazing~" the little maid Emilia said with bright eyes, and the expression on her face was full of admiration: "You can actually come up with such a method."

"What a clumsy compliment, Emilia." Ryan stretched out his hand and pinched Emilia's tender face with some blame: "How did you become like this? I don't like your hypocritical flattery."

"But I spend very little time with you." Emilia's face puffed up when she mentioned this: "You always have to be with Sister Suria, and you only spend so much time together a week. We don't spend much time together. It's not enough!"

"Suria is my wife, Emilia." Speaking of this embarrassing topic, Ryan is also a little embarrassed. The little maid in front of him will be the elector and the Duchess of Nuer in the future. Instead, she couldn't let go, so she could only smile in agreement: "By the way, didn't Su Liya take you to a palace banquet before? What did you see?"

"What else can I see? It's nothing more than topics among women, all kinds of fashionable clothes and shoes, and various trivia and gossip in the aristocratic circle. I saw a group of baronesses, countesses, marquises, and even Also met the Duchess of Berleon and the Duchess of Carcassonne, but the star of the party was without a doubt your Lady Suria, who really stole the show, you know, Lane, everyone Know who she is, and how much she is doted on by ladies." The little maid said sourly.

After the end of the Winter Veil Festival, Suria took Emilia to Helen Hilde to attend a grand banquet. The banquet mainly invited noble ladies from the southern duchies. Ryan did not go. Not interested in all kinds of gossip, busy with all kinds of squeezed official duties in the territory, dealt with it for a long time: "You will not lose to her in the future, Emilia, I heard that Grand Marshal Erstein will Lead an army to meet you?"

"Ms. Black, Grand Officer Nur, Generalissimo Nur, and the Iron Armored Army of Nur and more than a dozen knights will send people to meet me. There are still about six weeks, Ryan, I will stay by your side for as long as I can." Six weeks left." Emilia puffed up.

"It's as if we can't meet in the future." Ryan complained casually: "It's not impossible to see each other in the future, I clearly noticed that you let Veronica establish a magic teleportation array to connect Nuer's wizard guild? "

"That's different." Emilia snorted a few times and stopped talking.

"I'm going to watch an honor duel, Emilia, are you interested in going to see it with me?" Ryan put the signed document aside and said with a smile: "It's a wonderful honor duel."

"Duel of honor?" Emilia blinked her big watery eyes, and the little maid asked in a low voice, "Who's with whom?"

Ryan told Emilia about it.

It turned out that Suria's brother, Ryan's brother-in-law Julius, was already preparing to start his Holy Grail expedition. Now the knight of the kingdom deeply felt that his strength was much weaker than Ryan's, and he was even faintly betrayed by his sister Suria. The posture of catching up was unacceptable to the proud Julius. After the battle of La Messenelle Abbey, Julius also made up his mind to start his Holy Grail expedition.

Before he was ready to leave, Julius planned to try his sword and lance skills, so he came to Ryan's territory, trying to find Ryan's brother. Angron and Julius came here strictly speaking. It can be regarded as a family, and Ryan also gave Angron the title of Chief Instructor of the Earlland Knights.

However, Angron recently left the hut in the woods for something. On the surface, he said that he wanted to go to the south. In fact, Ryan knew that it was because the Emperor and Clarkson rarely came. Angron planned to go to Tyrell to buy some Back with coffee and sparkling cider.

Anyway, he rode a hippogryph across the border and didn't have to pay taxes.

In the end, what Julius found was Lorgar, who was investigating the local customs and various beliefs. The Primarch of the Word Bearers was very excited when he saw someone challenged him, and agreed cleanly.

"Let's go, let's go and see the duel between Lorgar and Julius." Ryan saw that Emilia was a little moved, but the little maid was tender, so he took her hand and said: "After watching Showdown We can go to the 'Holy Grail' bar in the city to have a meal, and then we'll go see what Alfred has been up to lately."

"Then, alright!" Emilia blushed, and immediately agreed: "Just the two of us?"

"Or would you like to call someone else?" Ryan said with a half-smile.

"Mr. Ryan is really, you know my intentions and you still test me, your heart is dark!" Emilia's face was dark: "Why don't you find a chance to catch you and kidnap you back to Nuer? I will lock you up on the black tower with iron chains, provide delicious food and drink, concentrate on serving me at night, and help me take care of my children by the way."

"Hahahaha~" Ryan couldn't stop laughing, he pulled Emilia and said, "Let's go, just the two of us."

"Ok!"

As it turns out, the conversation with the little maid took quite some time, which led to the honor duel having already begun a long time ago when Ryan and Emilia arrived at the arena.

"Fortheemperor! His will bed one!"

"In the name of the lady, I shall prevail!"
