Chapter 1429: Chapter 768: Foolishness—Whether I Kill You or Not, You’re Still Mine

Lance is in the rear leading the crowd to handle those matters, really not having much time to manage the situation at the front.

But yeah... those knights, if you want to flee, then flee, why burn my stuff?

The Baron considers the territory as his private property, but Lance had long seen these surrounding places as his own.

You burned everything you couldn’t take before fleeing; such behavior violated Lance’s taboos.

This situation directly led to the core buildings of several Knight’s Domains being burned down, including a lot of resources like grain, not to mention killing quite a few people.

Fortunately, after precautions were taken, such situations were suppressed, but the losses already caused couldn’t be compensated, still causing many to lose their homes and become refugees.

Without food and homes in winter, they basically waited to die. These noble lords didn’t care, so Lance had to care, and he simply brought those refugees along, spreading the tale of the Baron and the knights burning the territory.

Then came the great victory at the front, where those knights were caught in one fell swoop, and the soldiers managed to rescue those knights while treating those horses.

Because treating gunshot wounds is currently a valuable research topic, both the army’s medics and those student doctors need a lot of surgeries to gain experience.

As for Lance, the matter needs to be done beautifully; he can’t just let them die like this, must first investigate, then put them on trial, and finally judge them based on the crimes of these nobles.

Lance leads a group to prepare to take over the town, while other minor matters are handled by those officials familiar with tasks; he focuses on judging these nobles.

From their accounts, it was the Baron who directed them, among whom seven executed the order, but only four succeeded, while the remaining three were blocked during execution.

As for the others, they didn’t execute the order, but in reality, Lance knew those remaining were not unwilling to execute, they had their own thoughts, such as being reluctant, or too late, anyway, not necessarily being good people.

But if they didn’t do it, they didn’t do it. This reason can’t be used to punish them; throw them into labor camps to let these lords also work hard.

As for those who executed, labor camp exemption is not enough, they must face execution!

And letting them die just like that is too wasteful; the sanatorium lacks materials of varying constitutions, with civilians, there must also be nobles to be considered complete.

Then after judgment here, the Baron wakes up, and of course Lance is happy to play a little game with him.

"You all heard just now, it’s not me who sentenced you to death, but him."

In that strange atmosphere, Lance throws out a sentence, his gaze signaling those soldiers to step aside, his face showing a bit of anticipation, like a bystander waiting to watch some fun.

And Boudica is even more excited than Lance, almost wanting to raise her arms in excitement.

Fight, fight, I want to see rivers of blood!

Those knights were indeed beaten and captured for interrogation, it’s all a kind of humiliation for them.

Although they didn’t win, they fell to this state fighting for you, the Baron, didn’t they?

But they heard those words just now!

It’s known that only the most loyal ones execute the Baron’s order immediately, and now the Baron mercilessly abandoned them.

Sure enough, following Lance’s instigation, those wounded knights seemed unable to control the fury built up inside.

The knight’s will is being tested... with fury!

The enraged knights charge at the Baron swinging fists while roaring in anger.

"Coward!"

"You son of a bitch!"

"Go to hell, bastard!"

The Baron was startled at first, thinking these knights had died on the battlefield, hence his words.

Unexpectedly, they were right outside and heard everything; there’s no use for any words now.

With several people attacking, the Baron should have been on the receiving end.

But the problem is the others are all injured, while the Baron, despite taking a hit to the head, wasn’t affected in strength.

Suddenly, both sides became evenly matched, with the Baron even having an advantage.

Since he noticed Hamlet’s people not stopping him, his actions became even more aggressive, killing like a war god.

Can’t beat Hamlet, can’t I beat you?

"Hit his head!"

"Dig at his crotch!"

"Ah! Missed again, what a bunch of losers."

A chaotic fight ensues, Lance just short of slicing watermelon on the sidelines, but Boudica can’t hold back, constantly commanding.

Seeing those knights actually unable to beat the Baron, she’s anxious enough to almost roll up her sleeves and join; but without Lance’s word, she dare not, only able to scold them a few times.

"Alright, alright."

Lance waves his hand to signal stopping the messy fight, soldiers step in to pull both sides apart, visible additional scars on both parties.

The Baron’s face also bore some hits from unknown people, his eye sockets swollen.

The wounds on those knights’ bodies also burst open, oozing blood, making them appear weaker, yet their anger hasn’t dissipated a bit.

Earlier they were betrayed by the Baron, suffering psychological blows; now after being beaten by the Baron, they’ve suffered physical humiliation too.

Estimated, when Lance returns and spreads this matter, those so-called knights’ views toward the Baron won’t easily align with loyalty.

Lance doesn’t specifically target the Baron; rather, he aims to destroy the Baron’s rule over here, from bringing along those burned refugees, to this current scene, applying the method of killing to break the heart.
