Chapter 25 Sanctions
Arthur walked towards the commander of Tully's house, and observed the surrounding situation by the way.

Nearly [-] people were in the middle of the Shuangbu soldiers to prevent the two families from clashing again.

Some Tully soldiers were carrying the corpses, while the half-dead wounded lay there waiting to be rescued.

From time to time, a small group of four, five, or more than a dozen soldiers rushed over. They should be property knights and minor nobles who were loyal to the Tully family nearby.

The Blackwood weapons and equipment gathered by the Tully family are much more than those of the Bracken family. It seems that the people on the north bank are much more miserable than the people on the south bank.

But in fact, if Arthur is not counted, the Bracken soldiers barely managed to cut down 400 people on the opposite side at the cost of nearly 300 people.

This is due to Andrew gathering the soldiers together and forming a large circle at the very beginning.

In this way, every soldier only needs to think about the enemy in front of him, and does not have to be wary of the sword cut behind him.

If they hadn't set up their formations and fought each other, Bracken's [-] soldiers would have been wiped out long ago.

No way, the difference in the number of people is too large.

As for Arthur, he rushed out at the beginning of the film, and then hammered through the Blackwood army over and over again.

He's a power player and cramming limits his performance.

Facts have proved that this move is correct.

The sledgehammer captured from Santaga was unexpectedly effective, and it was still easy to break the defense with a blunt weapon against a warrior in full armor.

Arthur wondered whether to order a heavier sledgehammer for himself so that he could use it on the battlefield.

Earl Titos also approached Commander Tully, but he dared to come here after he saw Arthur coming out and surrounded him with a dozen people.

A middle-aged strong man in fish scale armor looked at Arthur and the sledgehammer with red and white slime in his hand, and sighed in his mouth.

"Why have I never heard of such a master in Shili City?" He smiled and said to Arthur.

Then he came over and patted Arthur on the shoulder, "My name is Desmond Greer, the coach of Riverrun."

Arthur nodded slightly, "I am Arthur, Lord Bracken of the Moulin Rouge."

Desmond smiled and nodded: "Come to Riverrun when you have time, let's compete."

"I must learn from your master's tricks." Arthur responded to this request.

After Earl Titos also came over, a young man also wearing fish scale armor walked up to both sides.

Arthur guessed that this person was Edmure Tully, the sharpshooter who was about to become famous in the land of three rivers.

"My father expressly forbids vassals to fight each other, why are you acting like this?"

Edmure looked at Earl Tytos, who looked panicked, and then at Arthur Bracken, who looked calm and rosy because of sports, and decided to start training with this little nobleman he didn't know.

After all, the earl is from his father's generation and has a high status, so it's not easy to lose face in front of everyone.

"Tell me, why do you want to fight the Earl? If you don't have a legitimate reason, you will be punished extremely severely."

Arthur was afraid that the villain of the Blackwood family would sue first, but Edmure called him back first, and he had a better impression of him.

So he organized the language, starting from Brynden pretending to be a bandit and robbing Riverside Village, to Santaga killing three villagers with a horsewhip, including a pregnant woman, and then to when he was about to seek justice from the Tully family but was caught by the Raventree City People stop here one by one.

And ask people to bring the remains of Brynden, Roger, Santaga, Darren and his wife.

During the period, people from Raventree City interrupted several times, but both Desmond and Edmure scolded them, letting Arthur finish first.

"I don't care what reason this Brynden pretends to be a bandit." Arthur finally concluded, "But the Blackwood family should bear the consequences."

"I ask the guardian of the river, Duke Hoster Tully, to get proper compensation for my territory being robbed, and to let poor Darren and the families of the other two women who died tragically get the justice they deserve."

Edmure looked to Lord Tytos, hoping for an explanation.

Although what Arthur said made him feel that the Blackwood family was too much, he still had to listen to what his family said.

Before the Earl of Raventree City could speak, someone started to argue loudly.

"Nonsense, Lord Edmure, he's talking nonsense." Roger, who was tied up, shouted, "It's not like that at all, we just passed by our own territory, Sweet Water Spring, and we didn't expect to be kidnapped by this liar who was full of lies, Santagar Mr. came to the rescue out of justice, but was severely injured by him, Lord Edmure please look into these situations."

Titos looked at his eldest son, and said loudly: "I only know that my eldest son, the heir of Raventree City, was kidnapped by an unknown nobleman. I ask the guardian of the river to uphold justice for me."

Arthur was a little angry: "If your son hadn't fallen ill and ran to my territory to pretend to be a bandit to rob, would I have caught him? You have to be reasonable! What's more, your people killed a pregnant woman first."

Darren was already shaking with fright when the two cloth soldiers cut each other, but fortunately he was surrounded by the circle and was not injured.

After being brought here, he saw so many great nobles in exquisite and gorgeous armor, and he was afraid to speak all the time, kneeling beside his wife's body and looking at her.

At this moment, seeing the lord fighting for reason, and looking at his wife's familiar and pale face, he finally plucked up the courage and opened his arms to ask Edmure:

"My wife, and my child who is about to be born, were whipped to death by this devil, please let him confess his crime."

He pointed to the tied Santaja.

"Then I also wanted them to let the young master go. Who told them not to let him go?" Santaga argued, and glanced at Arthur. He felt a little guilty in front of this man.

Edmure asked, "Then you killed first?"

"I am also for the safety of the young master."

The eldest son of the duke looked at the three corpses smeared with salt, and said with compassion:

"In any case, it's your Blackwood's fault. Otherwise, Your Excellency the Earl will compensate each of the three families with [-] gold dragons, and give Mr. Arthur [-] gold dragons. Mr. Arthur will release all the captives, and then you Compensate each other for the losses of the opposing army, and the matter is over."

"A hundred gold dragons, what kind of valuables are they?" Titos yelled regardless of his majesty, "It's just commoners, one gold dragon per person is already giving them respect."

Arthur was also dissatisfied with the verdict. He yelled: "The murderous Santagar must die. Three lives are not something that can be dismissed casually. In addition, the compensation for me is also less. Could it be that the eldest son of the earl is worth five dollars?" Is it a hundred gold dragon?"

The two had their own reasons and quarreled with each other.

There were many people in Raventree City, and the few people who were tied up shouted loudly, and Brynden insisted on untying himself first.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Enough." Desmond shouted, "Listen to Lord Edmure."

People on both sides no longer argue, but they are clearly not convinced by each other.

"Everyone's life should be respected." Edmure chose his words carefully, "I agree with Mr. Arthur's point of view, Santagar must die. In addition, Your Excellency the Earl must raise his bid."

Brynden also yelled at this time: "Yes, father, give this little nobleman in the countryside three thousand gold dragons. If there is less money, it will be our family's face."

Titos glared at his troublesome son, and after telling the latter to shut up, he said impatiently, "All right, all right, give this greedy and savage Bracken some more money."

Just after everyone thought he agreed to Edmure's proposal, the earl shouted again: "But Santagar must live, he is a member of my family, and he should not be guilty of crushing and killing a few bugs to save my son."

Arthur was furious, and shouted sharply: "Be a human being, what is a bug? Is his Santagar's life more noble than that of Darren's wife and the other two?"

Darren followed suit, groaning, "My poor wife and that... that unborn child!"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Edmure hurriedly said:
"Okay, the dead cannot be brought back to life, but Santagar is still alive. How about it, Mr. Arthur, let him live, and give this Darren and you more golden dragon compensation."

Seeing that Edmure was supporting their family, everyone in Raventree City became noisy.

"Be content, I still want to blackmail, a thousand golden dragons is enough for you."

"Lord Edmure and my earl are too kind to allow this barbarian to succeed."

"The lives of your three untouchables can also be worth Santaga's life?"

Arthur saw that Edmure, like the Blackwood family, advocated keeping Santaga, the murderer alive, and suddenly wanted to do something desperately.

Although he also wanted more golden dragons, that was under the premise that justice was done.

Just a little more golden dragons, Da Lun's wife and three others died unjustly, and the murderer was not punished.

This obviously doesn't work!
Arthur walked towards Darren and asked softly, "Poor man, what kind of justice do you want? More golden dragons, or let this murderer bow down?"

Darren's eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't complete the words sadly.

"I... my lord, I, I just want my wife and... and my children to be fair, and let this murderer die."

None of the great nobles present cared about his thoughts, and he could only place his hopes on Lord Arthur.

Fortunately, Lord Arthur has been fighting for him, so that his painful heart can be comforted a little.

"Okay, I see."

Arthur nodded, then slowly raised the sledgehammer in his hand.

He wants to be more serious about things that everyone doesn't care about.

"If my people don't get the justice they deserve, if this murderer doesn't get the punishment he deserves, if you still feel that the nobles can wantonly violate the lives of civilians and then pay a few golden dragons for nothing."

"Then, I, Arthur Bracken of the Moulin Rouge, hereby swear to give you the sanction I think you deserve."
