Maybe they can only prioritize defense at this moment. After all, Harlaus X will not fight an unprepared battle. He will definitely take comprehensive measures and send out troops on all fronts.
However, the journey to Shanmu Fort and Shanmu Village is long, and it takes a lot of manpower and resources, as well as a lot of food.
On the second day of the journey, Arthur finally woke up...
But Arthur still felt a little headache. He slowly sat up and found himself moving forward in a carriage. Beside him, Drasseur was dressed in military uniform and seemed to be marching with his troops.
"Well, Drasseur, where is this going?"
"Oh, Arthur, you're finally awake. I'm on my way to take you back to Shanmu Castle."
"You're in such a hurry to send me back? I can stay in Uxhall for a few more days! I really like the wine you have there."
"Because there is a war between our two kingdoms, it is not safe for you to continue staying with me. You may be assassinated by my teammates in my kingdom."
"What? Our kingdom has gone to war. Holy Sword, have you seen that enemy? Go ahead!"
Upon hearing this, Arthur stood up, ready to draw his holy sword and shield to charge! He touched his waist out of habit, but found that his sword was gone, and the shield behind him was also gone.
Seeing Arthur's expression, De La Serre laughed and said, "I knew you were going to use your ultimate move as soon as you got here, so I took your sword and shield. Here, I'll return them to you."
After that, he ordered his men to return all of Arthur's equipment. Without waiting for Arthur to speak, he continued:
"Although there is a war between our kingdoms, I don't want to hurt you. I will protect you and take you back to your own fiefdom. I will leave and I don't think you will hurt me either."
Holding the weapon, Arthur was silent for a while, then choked up and said, "Thank you, De Lassel."
Additional rewards: Reputation +25, Honor +3. You are truly kind and righteous, and you are so generous.
Of course not. It is our responsibility to spread positive energy and promote loyalty and righteousness. System, you should have learned from me a long time ago!
As soon as De Lassel restored the system, he saw Arthur looking around, as if he was looking for something.
"By the way, De La Serre, where's my, my golden chicken?"
“
Well… "
Although he had prepared the words and reasons beforehand, when Arthur really opened his mouth, the Baron still felt a little guilty and embarrassed.
But he still had to act the whole part, so he adjusted his mood, used the skills of an Oscar winner, pretended to be upset, and said:
"Hey, your golden chicken... I ate it. Oh no no no, you ate it."
"What!? I ate it!? Impossible!!!" Arthur couldn't believe what he heard.
"It's definitely possible! Let me ask you, do you remember what you did after drinking? Think carefully about everything that happened!"
In fact, De Lacelle also wanted to ask some questions to see how much this kid still remembered.
"Well... I remember that at the beginning, I gave the golden rooster to a man under your command named Captain Bo... Then... Then... Oh, that's the man. Good fellow, give me back my rooster!"
Arthur didn't know right from wrong. He only remembered the beginning of the incident and didn't care about the ending. He punched the warden Borcha behind De Lassel without thinking!
The prison warden, Bolcha, was caught off guard and was hit by this sudden punch. Blood immediately flowed from both of his nostrils!
"You! It was obviously Xiao Ma who went..." Bolcha covered his nose and was about to tell the truth, but the baron stopped his mouth with his hand.
There was a hint of warning and displeasure in the baron's eyes, signaling him not to continue.
It was this action that made the prison warden Bolcha completely hate Xiao Ma...
He felt that the baron was a little biased and did not consider at all that no matter who killed the golden rooster, it would cause Arthur to go berserk.
And De La Serre was just trying to solve the problem, and he had no intention of protecting or favoring anyone. After all, he was the one who gave the order to kill the chicken, so if he had to blame anyone, it was only himself.
But the blond muscleman Arthur did not give up and was preparing to throw a second punch with his right hand. This punch was coming with great force and was about to hit the prison warden Borcha's face.
"despair!"
In a flash, the Baron stretched out his right hand, spread out his five fingers, and made a cloth gesture, allowing Arthur to punch his palm, and then his five fingers firmly clasped his fist.
Arthur's powerful punch, if someone else used his hands
If he had caught it, his bones might have been broken long ago. Fortunately, the Baron had a special protective gear, the Giant Eagle Arm Guard, which enabled him to withstand the blow.
"Calm down, Arthur, I won't allow you to hurt my men, he's my brother."
"I won't allow anyone to hurt my golden rooster!" Arthur had no intention of stopping. His anger had made him less sober. At this moment, he used more and more force in his right fist to break free from the baron's restraints.
It has to be said that his terrifying power was like moving a mountain, and gradually De Lassel could no longer hold on.
The baron knew very well that if he could not hold out at this moment, not only would he lose face, but his soldiers would also draw their swords against Arthur to protect themselves.
But even if he tried hard to hold on, he would soon be unable to do so. From the corner of De Lassel's eye, he could already see Safiya touching the bow and arrow behind her.
On the other side, Xiao Ming also put one hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to chop Arthur at any time...
No! If we continue like this, we will lose control! No way! Fire!
In a desperate situation, at the critical moment, the Baron subconsciously shouted "fire", and his pupils suddenly brightened from the usual dark red to a scarlet blood color.
Arthur clearly saw that there were sparks and blood in the baron's eyes. His blood-red pupils seemed to be burning, which was very terrifying!
However, this time the red aura did not cover the whole body, but only covered his right hand. Instantly, an unparalleled force surged throughout his right hand...
"Uh... ah! Let go, De Lassel, let go now!" Arthur had never lost to anyone in a competition of pure strength, but this was the first time he was pinched by someone and begged for mercy in pain.
This breath not only brings powerful strength, but also brings the burning heat of flames!
It was not so much pain as it was a burning sensation. At this moment, Arthur felt as if his hand was about to be burned...
Wrapped in this dragon power, De La Serre seemed to have lost his former humility, and had a bit of dragon's rebelliousness. He did not let go, but instead spoke with arrogance, word by word:
"Whether you believe it or not, the fact is that you killed your golden chicken by mistake when you were drunk, and you even ate the chicken meat and drank the golden chicken soup."
