Chapter 551 Knight's Challenge
Since joining the rebellion conspiracy launched by the Valen family, Fergus has always believed that he was fighting to restore the ancient and traditional order of Arda.
Yes, Paul Greenman treated the squires so harshly - disrespected them, humiliated them, suppressed them, squeezed them as much as possible, and took back the power in their hands. The originally peaceful and beautiful The pastoral scroll was ruthlessly torn apart step by step, and the lord was surrounded by a circle of cunning businessmen who only knew how to flatter and flatter others. They used money to erode Alda's original simple social atmosphere, making the farmers uneasy about farming. They leave their homes and run to the city. If this continues, the whole of Arda will become increasingly degenerate and fall into an irreversible abyss.
As a son of this land, I, the Knight Fergus, must stand up to save all this, and put an end to the troubles caused by Alda before it becomes hopeless. The main source of the evil, that is, Paul Grayman, was eradicated. Although he was the master to whom he was loyal, he had fallen and fell into the embrace of the devil.
However, now, facing Carter Holly, the former knight squire and now the commander of the infantry battalion, who could only look up to him before, Fergus finally understood his truest thoughts and exploded. The unwillingness that had been buried deep in my heart for a long time came out.
He raised his sword, pointed the sharp edge of the sword at the opposite servant who was not even worthy of him to draw the sword before, and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Holly, you humble servant, You only climbed to your current position by relying on Bryce's breath. Who do you have to make irresponsible remarks on me? Come on, if you think you are worthy of this position, then pull out your weapons. , follow the ancient tradition and have a one-on-one knight duel with me.”
The horse under Fergus’s crotch also moved its hooves and snorted at Holly and others, spraying white from its nostrils. The mist seemed to be provoking them.
But Holly ignored Fergus's challenge and said: "Knight Fergus, after all, you are a knight personally appointed by Lord Grayman. I don't want to make it too embarrassing. Don't you Don't you think about surrendering?"
"Surrender? Hahahahaha!" Fergus laughed as if he was mocking them.
"Who do I surrender to? To a dead man? Or to a pile of ashes? It's just ridiculous."
He looked crazy, not just to Carter Holly, but to Carter Holly. Looking at everyone around who could hear him, he shouted louder than before: "Your beloved Lord Paul Grayman has been burned to ashes in this fire, and even his bones can't be found. It's ridiculous that you want me to surrender at this time. On the contrary, as the army of Alda, you should abandon the hypocrite who has fallen into hell in body and soul and surrender to the new one. The lord is loyal. As long as you make the right choice, I am willing to ignore your rudeness and say a few good words for you in front of the new lord, so that you will not be expelled from Arda like a bunch of lost dogs."
Although he guessed that Count Grayman was in trouble, but hearing the words from Fergus's mouth, Lieutenant Colonel Holly's heart still felt as if he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.
When Fergus finished what he said, Lieutenant Colonel Holly looked at him as if he were a delusional patient, with a look of disgust and hatred mixed with a hint of pity. "What are you crazy about, Fergus? Even if the new lord takes over, the first thing he will do is punish you group of rebellious people in order to appease Lord Grayman's soul. How can he still allow you to speak in front of him..."
"No! You don't know anything!" Before Lieutenant Colonel Holly finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fergus.
"Poor bastards! I might as well tell you that at this time, Huxin Town is already under our control. The new lord who succeeds will only be someone recognized by our loyal subjects. He will bring order to the chaos and bring peace to the world. Graiman's various perverse actions have returned to the right track one by one."
"Hahahahaha!" After saying this, Fergus laughed uncontrollably.
"What did you say?" Major Cobb, the instructor, was shocked by what Fergus just said, "Lake Town has..."
Lieutenant Colonel Holly raised his whip and In front of him, the major was stopped from continuing to speak.
He said in a mocking tone: "Huh, it's just the nonsense of a traitor when he is in a desperate situation. He wants to create chaos among us so that he can survive. You can't believe it."
"You actually imagined me to be so despicable?" Holly's words made Fergus, who had been laughing just now, suddenly become furious.
Although Lieutenant Colonel Holly said this, there was already a storm in his heart. Does this mean that the traitors are attacking from both ends?
As long as one of them succeeds, it will cause great chaos in Arda. In Babor Village, if the lord is assassinated, the consequences will go without saying. In Lake Town, as long as a lord can be successfully elected, The new lord means that all key departments of the Government Council are under their control, and some military forces may also be loyal to the new lord, which will also cause a great split in Alda.
The most terrifying thing is to succeed in both places, which will cause a completely irreversible situation. As for the village of Babor where he is located, at least for now, it seems that the lord is in danger.
hateful!
After cursing secretly in his heart, Lieutenant Colonel Holly decided to get rid of Fergus in front of him first. On the one hand, it is out of loyalty to Earl Greyman, and Fergus is the person who directly caused the Earl's death and wants to avenge him. On the other hand, even if the traitors gained power and the new lord they elected succeeded, they could argue that they did not know what happened in Huxin Town. In this case, it is reasonable to avenge the old master, and loyalty has always been limited. Praising is the greatest political correctness of this era.
Of course, the biggest hope or inference in Lieutenant Colonel Holly's heart is that the government system and armed system established by Earl Grayman in the past few years are definitely beyond the reach of a group of guys like Fergus. Subverted, Huxin Town is most likely still under the control of the loyalists.
In front of Holly, Fergus was still provoking: "Come on, Carter Holly! Since you don't believe me, then accept my challenge! Even if you are humble and don't have the As a knight, at least duel with me like a man!"
He waved his sword, the expression on his face was extremely mocking.
Holly stretched out three fingers on his left hand, "Fergus, I'll give you one last chance, surrender immediately! Three...two..."
"Ah——!"
Holly The repeated rejection of his own invitation to fight aroused the endless anger in Fergus's heart. The clown in front of him, as a knight, was already giving him a great honor by inviting him to a duel. How could he dare to refuse!
At that moment, he shouted, urged his horse hard, and rushed towards Holly with his sword brandished.
Reluctance, jealousy, resentment, anger, and all kinds of negative emotions made Fergus lose his mind and forget the cold gun pointed at him.
"Touch!"
A gunshot sounded, and the knight fell off his horse.
Lieutenant Colonel Holly blew the smoke from his gun and said with disdain: "An old antique like you should have faded out of the era long ago."
Fergus is not dead. The lieutenant colonel aimed for his horse, but he hit his head on a rock as he fell.
If only I had not left Huxin Town!
This was the last thought in his mind before he passed out.
