After listening to Farrell's words, Edward's face immediately turned pale. He knew very well how much Farrell weighed, and a life-and-death duel with Roger was simply suicide. Farrell was sent by the military this time
If the supervisor of Roger dies, who knows what the final result of Vattel's carefully planned plan will be.
The trouble is that Farrell has already personally agreed to the duel, which makes Edward not sure what to do. Duels between nobles, especially life-and-death duels, are a very sacred thing, and it is said that they have been blessed by the Supreme God.
.So as long as two nobles agree to a life and death duel, no one can stop it, not even His Majesty the King has the right to interfere.
If one of them goes back on his word, not only will he be immediately deprived of his title and demoted to a commoner, he will also be despised by everyone, and even be judged by the Church of the Supreme God. In history, there have been nobles who agreed to a life-and-death duel and then went back on their word.
, but in the end they all ended up being killed directly in a duel, which was even worse.
"This stupid pig!" Edward couldn't find a way to avoid Farrell's duel after much thought. In the end, he could only look at him coldly and curse in his heart: "You want to destroy Lord Wattle's plan even if you die. What an idiot.
!”
Roger's mood was completely opposite to that of the depressed Edward. As soon as Farrell agreed to the duel, he stopped and pulled the opponent up and said in a friendly voice: "Haha, your lord, the earl, is indeed a brave man. What weapon do you use? A long sword.
Or a stabbing sword? A dagger? A flail, whatever!"
"I...what did I just say?" At this time, Farrell also recovered a little. He didn't bother to answer Roger's question, and looked at Edward with a sad face and said: "I was forced to agree!"
"Lord Farrell!" Seeing that this guy actually wanted to cheat, Roger immediately said with a straight face and a cold voice: "A life-and-death duel is a sacred matter under the witness of the Supreme God. You dare to go back on your word, aren't you afraid of the Supreme God's reproach?
?”
"I...I didn't promise!" Farrell simply didn't have the courage to duel with Roger, and he still didn't dare to face this fact at this time.
For Roger, this is the best opportunity to get rid of Farrell. How can he be allowed to quibble? He immediately said with a cold expression: "Earl Farrell, everyone here can testify for me. If you still deny it blindly,
If so, I can only send you to the church’s Inquisition and let the church adults do justice to me!”
Hearing Roger say the words "Inquisition", Farrell's fat face trembled involuntarily. Everyone knows how terrible this place is, and it is full of lunatics who fanatically believe in the Supreme God. If Roger
If the matter is brought to the Inquisition, with three knights as witnesses, this lecherous fat man will definitely be burned at the stake.
"The stakes of the Inquisition are waiting for you." Roger could tell what Farrell was thinking just by his expression, and he said deliberately and unhurriedly: "A big guy like you... has more oil and water on his body than ordinary people.
There are many more, and the flames they burn will definitely be particularly spectacular, and maybe they can survive a little longer than others!"
It is not a good thing to survive for a while longer when being burned at the stake. Thinking of this horrific situation, Farrell no longer dared to deny that he agreed to a life-and-death duel. He gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I...I want one
A stabbing sword!"
"That's how happy it is!" Roger said to Chris with a smile: "Hurry and prepare a stabbing sword for Earl Farrell, I'm going to fight him to the death!"
Roger was probably the only one in history who was so elated before a life-and-death duel. Chris quickly found a stabbing sword, and everyone came to the open space in front of the Baron House to witness the battle between Roger and Farrell.
life and death duel.
At this time, the news that the lord was going to duel with someone had spread, and many townspeople and businessmen came to join in the fun. Life-and-death duels were not seen very often, and they had not happened in the past few years. Now actually
Everyone's faces were full of excitement to witness such a grand event in this border town.
"It turns out that being lively is the nature of all human beings." He didn't expect that there were so many people waiting for him and Farrell to fight to the death. Roger couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart.
Compared with Roger, who still explores human nature leisurely, Farrell is not so relaxed. He holds the rapier in his hand tightly, looking around uneasily with cold sweat on his fat face, as if looking for someone to escape.
Route. But at this time, the open space in front of the Baron's Palace was surrounded by crowds. How could Farrell escape? Seeing that the last hope was gone, a look of determination appeared on the face of the fat earl, and he could only face reality.
He risked his life in a fight with Roger.
Both sides of the duel will each designate a witness. Roger asked Bonnie to be his witness, while Farrell had no choice at all. Only Edward was willing to be his witness. Phil, as the intermediary, announced his life and death in public.
The rules of the duel, and then announced that the duel has officially begun.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Roger and Farrell, waiting nervously for the two to take action. Roger stood there with a smile on his face, the sword in his hand pointing diagonally at the ground, and walked a few steps away without anxiety.
Farrell.
At this moment of life and death, the Fat Earl unexpectedly calmed down. Although Farrell had a bad reputation in the aristocratic circle, few people knew that he also had the strength of a bronze junior. Thinking of Roger, it was only a few years before he got the qualification of a knight.
Within a few months, his strength should be about the same as his own, and Farrell seemed to have a glimmer of hope for survival. Taking advantage of Roger's lack of opportunity to attack, the fat man suddenly shouted and rushed towards him.
Even though Farrell was fat, he was actually not slow when he charged! Unexpectedly, this fat man could really make a move. People around him couldn't help but exclaimed, and many people were secretly worried about Roger.
"Die!" Farrell, at the critical moment of life and death, unleashed his full potential, yelled and stabbed Roger's throat hard with his rapier.
This sword gathered all of Farrell's strength, and the speed of the sword thrust was astonishingly fast driven by the fighting spirit. The tip of the sword broke through the air and made a soft "chichi" sound. Ordinary people could not stab quickly in such a dark night.
out of the rapier.
When Farrell launched an attack with all his strength, Roger still stood motionless, as if he had not yet reacted. At this moment, Farrell was confident that he could survive the duel and believed that he could definitely assassinate his annoying opponent.
Under his own sword.
At this moment, Roger moved, and the sword in his hand jumped slightly as if it suddenly came to life, and then slashed towards Farrell's thick neck at an extremely fast speed.
