(The previous chapter was revised half an hour after it was released. Book friends who are not reading the revised version can go back and read it.)
Claire ignored the opponent's screams, but slowly raised the sword in his hand and aimed it at one of Bill's arms.
Seeing this scene, Bill had a look of horror on his face and shouted loudly, "I am Count Grein's housekeeper! You can't do anything to me!"
"What's the point? You touched my knight, but said I can't touch you?" Claire laughed angrily.
The long sword was swung, and bright red blood splashed onto Bill's face. An attached arm bounced to the ground aside, and blood continued to flow out.
"Ahhhh!" Bill, who felt the severe pain from his broken arm, couldn't bear the pain and screamed.
"Boom!"
Claire threw a fireball casually, burning the severed arm to ashes. Bill's eyes widened when he saw it. If the severed arm was brought back, it could be reattached, but if it was burned to ashes, it would not be that simple to recover.
The other party is really playing tricks, not trying to regain face, but really losing face.
"How dare you!" Bill held back the severe pain and shouted at Claire, "I represent the will of Count Grein. How dare you treat me like this! If the Earl knew about it, he would never let you off easily!"
He represents not only the role of a butler, but also the face of Count Grein's Barony, but now he is being hung up and fanned by Claire.
Claire took back the long sword that was stained with blood, pointed it at the opponent's other arm again, and said gently, "What do you mean by treating you like this? This is just a normal act of revenge. I am seeking justice for my knight."
"Pfft!" The sound of the sword piercing flesh and blood sounded. Claire inserted the long sword into the opponent's arm and the joint of the arm, exerting a slight force.
Bill screamed again, "Ahhh! I was wrong, please forgive me!"
"Don't beg for mercy so quickly. You are a big shot from the earldom!" Claire tilted the hilt of the sword to the left, and you could clearly hear the sound of the joint bones separating.
Bill's face was covered with sweat at this time, and the pain from both places almost made him faint. He did not expect that this viscount was so courageous at such a young age.
"Ah! Let me go!"
When he was about to reach the opponent's limit, Claire stopped at the right time and asked expressionlessly, "You blocked the water source upstream, right? You want to blackmail me into handing over the formula of Iodized Salt?"
Bill finally relaxed a little and gasped, "Yes, if we hand over the production process and formula of Iodized Salt now, we still have to discuss that matter."
"Anything else to talk about?" Claire repeated.
"Yes, these are Count Grein's exact words, otherwise even if you kill me, there will be no water source available in your territory." Bill took the opportunity to say.
"You are really loyal. Even now, you have not forgotten to seek benefits for your master, but..." Claire laughed, "There is no need to talk about this matter. I have never been able to stand threats from others."
Claire turned over and took out the animal skin roll and pen from Spatial Ring, wrote a line of words on it, and finally put it against Bill's heart.
Bill felt a little uneasy in his heart and said quickly, "What do you want to do!"
"Shh, be quiet!" Claire took out another dagger and a tube of blue potion from Spatial Ring.
After seeing the dagger, Bill struggled and tried to break free, but Claire pressed his palm and the opponent was held in place again.
Putting the dagger against the animal skin roll, Claire exerted a little force, and the dagger pierced the animal skin roll and stabbed into the heart of Bill who was behind.
"Hmm!" Bill's mouth spurted blood uncontrollably, and he stared at Claire with his eyes wide open in disbelief, "You..."
"Don't worry, you won't die!" Claire slowly poured a bottle of high-grade Healing Potion onto the wound that was gushing blood. The wound instantly became scarred, leaving only the dagger and the animal skin rolled on it. Bill felt like he had walked through hell. He was very scared when he saw the dagger inserted into his chest, but he was also afraid that his fear would cause his heart to beat violently and the wound to open again.
"It cut off the water source of our territory and injured my knight. When the matter has reached this point, it is no longer possible to talk about it."
Claire slowly stood up and said word by word, "Now! As Lord Griffin Barony, I formally declare war on Count Grein's Barony! The animal skin scroll on your chest is the declaration of war! We will see you on the battlefield in three days. If this battle does not end with one of the lords kneeling down to beg for mercy and completely admitting defeat, there will be no end!"
Bill was lying on the ground with a pale face. He didn't understand why things had developed to this point. In his opinion, it was not even close to the point of starting a war.
And even though he is an earldom and has greater advantages than his opponent in every aspect, Claire can speak in a crusading tone.
Claire winked at Hant. Hant immediately drew his sword and chopped off the heads of the knights controlled by Isaac. Several heads fell to the ground and rolled several times on the ground. The blood on their necks gushes out like a fountain.
The scene was so bloody that the onlookers quickly covered their children's eyes, and those who felt uncomfortable even vomited them out.
Bill looked at the heads rolling to the ground and knew that this matter could not be that simple.
Claire glanced at the embarrassed Bill on the ground with indifferent eyes, and opened his mouth. "Go away!"
The pressure on Bill disappeared in an instant, and he reluctantly got up. At this time, he had long lost the arrogance he had at the beginning. After all the knights who came with him were killed, he was the only one left surrounded by the people. Bill felt a trace of fear in his heart.
When he looked at his chest, he saw that Claire's dagger was still scratched on it. He felt a chill running down his spine. He rushed out of the crowd in a panic, mounted the mount he came on, and fled with a whip.
After the other party escaped, Claire stood alone at the gate of the city and meditated for a while, with light and dark in his eyes.
Finally Claire came to his senses and ordered, "Take them to Dr. Rona for treatment."
"Plop!"
Kellan broke away from the support of his teammates, knelt down towards Claire, and lay on the ground with his head lowered.
Crying: "I'm sorry! Sir Viscount! It's all my fault. If we hadn't been caught, things wouldn't have been like this."
"It's not your fault," Claire said, "Let's go to treatment first. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later."
Kellan was helped up again and walked towards the hospital, but the spirit of the past was gone, like a puppet that had lost its soul.
"Regan!" Claire shouted.
"Master, I'm here!" Regan stood up immediately.
"Go check the news about Count Grein's Barony. It doesn't matter how much you spend. Find out the strength in their territory. I will see it tomorrow." Claire ordered.
If you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger!
"I understand, Master!"
Regan retreated and started preparing to collect information.
"Is there going to be a war?" Isaac leaned over.
"It's okay, this is a matter within my territory, you don't have to do it."
"It's a shame to say that. My fighting ability is not weak, so I should be able to help." Isaac smiled.
"Well, after this matter is finished, Academy of Sciences will probably be completed. Then I will build the airship with you."
"Keep your word!"
