Hearing Fangzheng's words, everyone present was stunned. After a while, they finally came to their senses.
"Arrogant!"
"Impudent!"
"Presumptuous!"
At this moment, everyone glared at Fangzheng and reprimanded him loudly.
"That's extremely rude! Such an arrogant man should be arrested immediately! "
"Guards! Where are the guards?! Arrest the murderer of Lord Rozval immediately! "
In an instant, the hall began to become chaotic, and the armed soldiers immediately rushed over, surrounding Fangzheng and the others.
However, at this moment, suddenly, a voice sounded.
"Please wait a moment."
This voice seemed to have some kind of magical power, immediately calming the commotion in the hall. Fangzheng turned his head and saw a hearty young man with red hair walking over, staring at Fangzheng with a serious expression.
"Mr. Fangzheng, don't you think that what you said before was a little rude to the dead Lord Rozval? No matter what, although Lord Rozval is like that, he is still a figure who has made great contributions to our Lugnica. I hope that you can take back your previous rude words. "
"I refuse."
Looking at the red-haired young man in front of him, Fangzheng raised his brows.
"I don't know the status and influence of that Rozval in your Lugnica, but in my opinion, he is just a guy who is suspected of colluding with the Witch Sect to attack the village and cause a massacre. He also doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and attacked me. So, it's my freedom to call him an ant or a bug. "
"Is that so? I understand what you mean. "
Hearing this, the red-haired young man nodded and did not continue, as if he had accepted Fangzheng's explanation.
But unfortunately, not everyone would be as reasonable as the red-haired young man.
"Ridiculous! Killing a noble of another country without authorization and using this method to insult Lord Rozval? "
"Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable!! "
The civil officials roared at Fangzheng, while the military officials had different expressions, but none of them looked happy. Although it was directed at Rozval, Fangzheng's attitude was obviously disrespectful to the Kingdom of Lugnica. As the knights who guarded the kingdom, of course, they couldn't be nice to Fangzheng.
"Are you done with your nonsense?"
Fangzheng picked his ear and flicked his little finger.
"So? Do you have anything else to say other than the whining of a defeated dog? If not, I won't waste my time here. "
At that moment, the old man finally spoke.
"In other words, you admit that you killed Rozval, and you don't have the slightest intention to repent or apologize?"
"That's right. I have no reason to apologize to an idiot who tried to kill me without saying a word, but was killed because he wasn't strong enough, let alone repent. I'm only here out of consideration for the minimum level of politeness. As that man said, although I think that clown is just a bug, he seems to be a very famous person in your country, so it's only natural for me to come here and explain the cause and process of his death. But other than that, I don't want to do anything else … Don't even think about compensation, because I don't think I killed the wrong person or did anything wrong. "
Fangzheng answered calmly, but his answer only added fuel to the fire.
"Nonsense! Besides, it's just a border village. How can it compare to Lord Rozval? "
"If I'm not mistaken, that should be a ghost village! Ghosts are just disgusting existences. Even if they were killed, what's the problem? They're just barbarians … "
"Are those two girls the survivors of the Ghost Tribe? That means Lord Rozval died because of them. They should be arrested and executed immediately! "
"Haha …."
The hall, which had once again become agitated, instantly fell into a dead silence.
An unparalleled dragon's aura descended, causing the faces of the people in front of them to turn ashen.
"In my opinion, you bugs are not even worth a strand of hair on these two girls."
Fangzheng reached out his hand and gently caressed Lahm and Rem, who had curled up from the looks of disgust from the crowd. Although they were mentally prepared, they had never been the target of ridicule and censure in such an occasion.
The two girls were so nervous that their bodies were stiff.
However, when they felt Fangzheng's touch, their stiff bodies gradually relaxed.
"Just looking at them is an eyesore, and listening to them is even more disgusting."
With that said, Fangzheng's expression sank slightly.
"I originally came here to ask who else knows about the Witch Cult, then tell you how Rozval died, and that's it. But now, I've changed my mind."
As Fangzheng spoke, the dragon's aura that enveloped the hall suddenly retracted. The people who were suffocated by the dragon's aura finally came back to their senses. But this time, none of them dared to say anything. All of them looked around uneasily, their faces pale. The terrifying aura that appeared out of nowhere just now had been deeply imprinted in their hearts. Even the stupidest person knew that the man in front of them was definitely not someone easy to deal with.
"What do you want?!"
Myrotov stared at Fangzheng with a solemn expression and asked sternly. He was not an idiot. As a representative of the Society of Sages, the old man could feel how terrifying the aura just now was. It could be said to be unprecedentedly terrifying. He was already starting to regret it a little. Perhaps he shouldn't have discussed this issue with the other party under such circumstances.
Myrotov had originally hoped to use the pressure of the entire Kingdom of Luganica to give himself an advantageous position, but now it seemed that this trick was completely useless against the man in front of him.
When he thought of the information he had received about the man before, if it was true ….
"It's simple."
Fangzheng stretched out a finger.
"Cede land and pay compensation."
"What?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"To tell you the truth, I was going to kill you for your rude words just now. But considering that there's a reason for it, I'll give you a chance …. As long as you're willing to cede a piece of land to me, I'll let you go. Otherwise, you won't live to see the sun tomorrow morning. "
This was not something that Fangzheng had just thought of, but something that he had thought of a long time ago. After all, his current castle was still located in the territory of the Kingdom of Reystige. Although it was considered a private territory, it was still somewhat inconvenient. Since this place was going to become Fangzheng's stronghold in this world, he naturally wanted to be more rigorous. It would be best if he could get a piece of his own territory.
Fangzheng's original idea was to find some time to develop an uninhabited land. But since the idiots of Luganica had asked for it, there was no need for him to be polite.
"You, you're threatening us!"
"That's right, it's a threat. Since you've spoken so arrogantly in front of me, you'll have to pay the price. Alright, make your choice."
Having said that, Fangzheng spread out his hands.
"Territory? Or your lives? "
"Are you really that confident in your own strength?"
Looking at Fangzheng in front of him, even the calm Myrotov couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Of course."
"In that case, I can agree to your request, but … I also have a condition."
"Speak."
"Rhine Harut."
Hearing the summons, the red-haired man who had talked to Fangzheng before walked out. The surrounding civil officials breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him.
"This is the strongest knight in our country, Sword Saint Rhine Harut van Astrea. His strength is far greater than Rozval's. If you can defeat him, it means that everything you said is true. In that case, Luganica is willing to apologize for our mistake. "
"Oh, and if I lose?"
"Then I'm sorry, but as Rozval's murderer, you must stay."
"I understand. Okay, no problem. You should've said that earlier."
Hearing this, Fangzheng nodded. From the looks of it, this was probably what the Society of Sages had planned. He did not know how strong Rhine Harut was, but the fact that the old man from the Society of Sages dared to call him out without hesitation when it came to a serious issue like the cession of a country, and the expressions of the people around him as if Rhine Harut was their savior, Sheyan could tell that Rhine Harut's strength was definitely second to none in this country.
In other words, if the previous monkey show had not happened, the Society of Sages would still have asked Rhine Harut to take action.
"Then, let's settle it here."
"Let's go out. It'll be bad if we cause damage to the surroundings."
Rhine Harut shook his head in response to Fangzheng's suggestion, while Fangzheng shrugged.
"It's just a matter of one strike anyway … Fine, whatever. I'll listen to you."
With that said, Fangzheng turned around and walked out of the hall with the two girls. As for Rhine and Harut, he smiled wryly helplessly and followed them out. The others exchanged looks and followed behind. However, these people all had gloating or indignant expressions on their faces.
They had also heard Fangzheng's last sentence. They all felt that he was extremely arrogant. Who was Rhine Harut? He was the strongest knight in the kingdom, an existence with the title of Sword Saint. He was not on the same level as Rozval at all! Even if Sheyan could defeat Rozval, he would never be a match for Rhine Harut!
From their point of view, this young man had definitely become arrogant after defeating Rozval and felt that he was invincible. This was good as well. They really wanted to see how his arrogant face would twist when he was defeated by Rhine Harut's sword!
Soon, the two arrived at the square outside the palace. Fangzheng summoned his black and white swords, while Rhine Harut borrowed a sword from a random knight.
"Aren't you going to use your own sword?"
Fangzheng could not help but be curious when he saw Rhine Harut's actions. Rhine Harut smiled embarrassedly.
"I'm very sorry. It's not that I'm looking down on you, Mr. Fangzheng. You might not know this, but this dragon sword …"
* Swoosh! *
However, before Rhine Harut could finish his words, the sword at his waist suddenly unsheathed on its own. The gleaming sword exuded an invisible pressure.
Seeing this scene, the people watching the battle were all shocked.
"The dragon sword is unsheathed?"
"Rumor has it that the dragon sword will only be unsheathed when it senses a necessary opponent. Is this man really that strong?"
Oh … so there was such a setting.
Hearing this, Fangzheng finally understood why Rhine Harut would borrow someone else's sword. But that sword was called the dragon sword, and Fangzheng could indeed feel a faint dragon aura from it. Plus, this country was also known as a dragon-friendly country. Could this sword be related to the Dragon God?
However, just as Fangzheng was thinking, Lestia and Esther were unhappy. As sword elves, they also had their own pride. Although Rhine Harut's dragon sword was also sentient, compared to the two sword elves, it was like comparing a monkey to a human. Lestia and Aster felt like they were watching a monkey strutting around in front of its master. How could they tolerate that?!
Soon, Fangzheng's black and white swords emitted a faint light, and two invisible pressures spread out in an instant. Sensing the pressure, the dragon sword that was halfway out suddenly stopped and slowly began to shrink back.
Is the dragon sword afraid?
The others did not feel it, but Rhine Harut felt it. This made him very surprised. He never thought that his Dragon Sword would actually feel fear and dread!
"Alright, stop playing."
At that moment, Fangzheng snapped out of his daze and rapped the two swords. Only then did Lestia and Esther retract their suppressive might and release the Dragon Sword. The Dragon Sword that had been released no longer showed off. Instead, it lay obediently in Rhine's hands like a dead man.
"Well then, I apologize for my rudeness."
Rhine Harut's expression became more and more serious as he held the dragon sword in his hands. His opponent was actually able to make the dragon sword feel fear. His strength was probably unfathomable. But at the same time, Rhine Harut was looking forward to it. After all, he had never experienced a battle like this.
"You're welcome."
Compared to the others, Fangzheng had a good impression of Rhine Harut. At least this person was polite and didn't need to be beaten up like the others.
However, Fangzheng would not show mercy because of this.
"Well then, here I come."
As he spoke, Fangzheng raised the pitch-black sword in his hand. Soon, flames soared into the sky.
Then, Fangzheng took a step forward and swung his sword.
Just one step.
The spectators only felt a blur in front of their eyes. Then, a roar that was comparable to muffled thunder suddenly spread in all directions. This roar was like a hammer, pounding heavily on the hearts of those people. The military officials and knights with sufficient strength were fine, but many of the civil officials fainted on the spot. The rest were also dizzy, feeling dizzy and nauseous.
But when they stood up, they only saw Fangzheng standing there with the sword in his hand. In front of him, there was no figure of Rhine Harut. On the contrary, everyone only felt that in front of Fangzheng, there was a long scar that extended all the way to the distant city wall. Even the sturdy city wall was smashed down.
Could it be … …
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes widened in surprise. An unbelievable thought emerged in their minds.
No way … … Could it be that this man really defeated Luganica's strongest knight, Rhine Harut, with just one strike?!
"Get up. I didn't kill you."
Fangzheng said as he looked at the ruins in the distance. Then, with a crash, a figure jumped out of the ruins and appeared in front of Fangzheng again.
It was Rhine Harut, but this time, Rhine Harut's face was covered in dust. His cloak and armor were a little tattered, as if he had just fought a great battle.
"I lost."
Rhine Harut lowered his head, but his tone didn't sound heavy.
"Mr. Fangzheng's strength is really unfathomable. It's admirable."
"Your strength is also very interesting."
Fangzheng smiled at Rhine Harut. In fact, he was right. When Fangzheng swung his sword at Rhine Harut, he could feel that the whole world seemed to have gathered together at that moment, trying to stop him.
This feeling was a little similar to the feeling Fangzheng felt when he was attacked by the world's kitchen knife in the love world, but Rhine Harut did not seem to be the protagonist, so when Fangzheng counterattacked with the First Flame, he was not protected by the core barrier of the source. That was why Fangzheng broke the world's protection with one strike and sent him flying.
But it was really rare for someone to receive the world's protection directly. If it was not for a god from another world like Fangzheng, he probably would not have been able to defeat him.
It was no wonder that the Wise Ones would be so confident in pushing him out. If it were anyone else, it would be difficult for them to gain any advantage against Rhine Harut. But it was a pity that Rhine Harut met Sheyan. He was not the protagonist, nor was he the core villain, so he could not enjoy the protection of the core barrier. In other words, to this world, Rhine Harut could die, and even if he did, it would not cause the world to collapse.
If it was Lina Impeth, it would be a different situation ….
But now ….
"Alright."
Fangzheng sheathed his swords and looked at the audience with ugly expressions.
"Who else has any objections?"
