The interpersonal relationship between nobles is much more complicated than that between mercenaries and soldiers. Even the smartest people who enter this circle may be manipulated by others.
Arthur didn't like it at all and never thought about integrating into this circle, so he didn't plan to follow the rules of dealing with nobles. He directly beat the son of Earl Milne and tied them to the pillars in front of the tavern in a humiliating way.
Not counting the surrounding villagers, Fuel Town is just a small town with less than 2,000 people. Such a big thing happened and soon spread throughout the town.
Almost all the residents at home gathered in front of the tavern, talking about One tans and the Milne family guards who were tied in a row.
Onetans was so ashamed that he wanted to commit suicide.
For Arthur's fierce methods, the young people in the town cheered and supported him one-sidedly. Their lord was worthy of being a hero in the orc wasteland. They had long been fed up with the Milne family's domineering attitude, but they dared not speak out. Lord Arthur's move this time was a great relief to the people.
Some older residents in the town could not help but worry about Arthur. The lord was still too young. Earl Milne was powerful and had hundreds of guards. How would the lord end up?
Arthur was completely unaware of the residents' discussions and worries. He was feasting in the tavern with his soldiers.
The tavern owner was grateful to Arthur and took out the best wine and meat in the tavern to entertain Arthur and the soldiers. Now, he still believed that the lord attacked One tans because he was beaten. After so many years, someone could finally protect him.
When the tavern owner expressed his sincerity to Arthur, Larking hurried into the tavern.
"Larking, you came at the right time. The tavern owner said this is the best wine in his store. Drink with me." Arthur was already a little drunk.
"My Lord Viscount, please release One tans. I will apologize to him and compensate for some losses on your behalf. Let's stop here." Larking advised with a worried face.
Arthur looked at Larking with a smile, "Why stop here? He hasn't settled the account of the tax he levied on my territory with Milne? You came at the right time. Have you prepared the list I asked you to prepare?"
Larking said with a frown: "I have calculated the total amount, about, 2063 gold coins. But based on my understanding of Earl Milne, he will never compensate us for this money. If you do this, he will be angry and embarrassed, and the two sides will have a military conflict."
"You stay here with me and wait peacefully. I'm afraid he is too timid to bring people to fight?" Arthur pulled Larking to drink with him.
The town of Fuel is connected to the territory of Earl Milne. As Larking expected, after only about an hour, noisy horse hooves were heard outside the town.
"Here they come, the Milne family's guards are here!" The security captain who Larking had arranged to stand guard at the entrance of the town hurried in to report the news.
"How many people are here?" Larking asked hastily.
"Too many, all riding wildebeests, more than 200 people!" The security captain was so scared that his face turned pale.
"This is a big trouble! What should I do? What should I do?" Larking was anxious and turned around in the house.
Arthur ignored Larking and smiled at the surrounding soldiers, "Brothers, are you full?"
"Full, Captain." The soldiers laughed.
"It's been more than a year since we fought with orcs. Do you still remember how to fight?"
"Captain, stop joking. Is fighting with the guards of the noble lord still considered fighting?" A big soldier replied loudly, attracting laughter from all around.
"Okay, put on your armor, line up, and knock down all the people who come. If one of them runs away, don't say you are with me, Arthur!"
After Arthur said that, the soldiers opened the armor bags on their backs and began to put on their armor.
Outside the tavern, more than 200 guards of the Earl's Mansion with weapons jumped off the wildebeest and rushed straight to the tavern.
The residents who were watching in front of the tavern had already dispersed, but they were unwilling to leave and watched from a distance.
"Muzak, save me quickly!" One tans shouted at the top of his voice. He finally waited for his savior.
A tall and strong man like a bear in the guards ran to One tans quickly, and cut off the rope on One tans with a big knife in his hand, "Master, I'm late, you've suffered!"
"They are still hiding in the tavern, rush in and kill them all for me, don't let any of them go!" One tans pointed at the wooden door of the tavern and shouted hysterically.
As soon as the captain of Earl Milne's guard, Muzak, waved his hand, his guards rushed into the tavern!
Before they rushed to the door, the oak door of the tavern was knocked open from the inside, and twenty-one fully armed warriors led by Jose rushed out of the tavern.
These warriors did not speak, and rushed into Milne's guards in a sharp arrow formation, swinging their swords and guns quickly, making a continuous sound of "PU, PU", aiming at the vital parts of the human body.
Blood splattered, screams continued, Arthur's warriors rushed forward, and Milne's guards fell down in a large group, and were constantly retreated by Arthur's warriors.
There were only twenty-one warriors walking out of the tavern, a number of one to ten, but these warriors completely suppressed the more than two hundred people on the opposite side as soon as they appeared, and killed them and kept retreating.
There is an essential difference in temperament between those who have never been on the battlefield and have killed people!
No matter how many people there are in Earl Milne's guards, they are just a group of first- and second-level warriors who have never been on the battlefield. Many of them have never even seen blood. And each of Arthur's warriors is wearing fourth-level armor and weapons. They have crawled out of the pile of dead bodies, and each of them has at least dozens of orc warriors in their hands.
Even the fierce orcs have been killed countless times, and these guards are nothing more than clay chickens and dogs in the eyes of the warriors. More importantly, the warriors who come down from the battlefield are rushing for their lives, while Earl Milne's guards rely on their numbers to fight.
Therefore, as soon as the two sides fought, dozens of people fell down on Earl Milne's side in an instant, and many of them covered their throats and chests, obviously not surviving.
Disputes and fights between nobles are common, but it is extremely rare to kill dozens of lives right away. These guards were all scared and fled in all directions.
Even One tans was frightened by the tragic scene in front of him. He sat down on the ground after being untied.
Muzak roared and rushed into the group of warriors. His fighting spirit surged, and he chopped and kicked with his sword, knocking down three warriors one after another.
As the captain of Earl Milne's guard, Muzak was a real sixth-level warrior. He could naturally crush the third- and fourth-level warriors under Arthur.
"Exploding Flame Slash!" A fiery red fighting spirit slashed down in the air.
"Ten Thousand Mountains!" Muzak pulled his sword horizontally, slashing out a lot of sword shadows like a mountain of swords to block Arthur's fighting skills.
The fiery red fighting spirit shattered the layers of sword shadows, and the mountain of swords was split in two from the middle. The aftermath of the bursting fighting spirit finally exploded on Muzak, blowing him away.
Two years ago, Arthur could barely fight against the top level 6 warriors among the orcs; two years later, Muzak, the most ordinary level 6 warrior among the human warriors, could not resist the power of Arthur's sword.
Muzak was chopped away by the sword, and before he could stand up again, the Falling Star Sword was already under his throat...
