Chapter 328 (1/2)

The veteran's complexion changed slightly. Brandon, who was originally surprised, was stunned for a moment. His red eyes looked at his wizard adviser playfully, and the corners of his mouth aroused a little arc of laughter.

They all understand what the so-called ”another way” is.

The military regulations of the Empire were very strict, and forced labor was often required. The thieves were whipped and the disobedients died. Just because they were so strict, there was a corresponding ”confession” and ”privilege”.

If a legion soldier is unwilling to accept compulsory labor, he must pay twice as much money to ”plead guilty”. Therefore, many veterans have not much money left until the end of their service, but also have a debt and can only continue to serve in the imperial Legion; Waiting for an ”amnesty” from a legion commander or his Majesty the emperor to forgive their debts.

The other kind of ”privilege” is the ”continuation” of an ancient Knight's Creed. If a knight has to accept punishment, he has the right to propose a duel trial and decide his fate with his sword.

But in fact, this so-called ”privilege” is just a more cruel way of punishment:

First of all, the victim must not wear any extra armor and weapons, and his so-called ”sword” is not even a sword, but only a wooden stick.

Secondly, if he wants to pass the duel trial, he must fight until the trial officer stops - it can be imagined that no one will stop until the victim completely loses his strength and dies or is dying.

So this is a fake duel, covered with the skin of ”Chivalry”, which is still just a more cruel and one-sided criminal law.

The situation is so stiff that both sides know that this matter can no longer be solved with money, so what Lauren said ”another way” is and can only be ”privilege”.

”Impossible!” the impolite veteran sneered and spat directly at Loren's feet: ”just because you wizards want to use 'privilege'? Only knights and nobles can...”

”I've been given a silver ring by the Holy Cross!” Loren took the ring off his right hand and smashed it into the veteran's face:

”This ring proves that I have the right to be treated by all Imperial Knights, whether it is the Lord of the principality or the Legion of the Empire!”

”Take a good look, and then remember to give it back to me - you are the glory of the Empire and the guards of the north. Don't make yourself look like a traitor!”

The guards of the fortress were in an uproar, while Brandon's guards were surprised. In the battle at the camp, his Highness's wizard adviser had proved himself to them.

”Even so, the two wizards who violated the military regulations have nothing to do with you. According to the imperial Legion regulations...”

”According to the imperial Legion regulations, if a subordinate violates military regulations, resists orders on the battlefield, or even uses force against an officer, his immediate officer is responsible, right?”

Lauren stared at him indifferently.

Since the other party wants to ”follow the rules”, he should follow the rules with him - Loren had dealt with the Legion there when he was in eboden, otherwise he could not know the existence of this ”privilege”.

”I am the wizard adviser of his highness Brandon. They just came with me. According to the military regulations of the Empire, I am fully responsible for all their actions. It has nothing to do with others, not to mention you.”

”Find out first and then shout!”

”You?!” the fire burning veterans clenched their teeth, clenched their fists, and the green tendons burst out. Lauren, who narrowed his eyes, was still that indifferent face.

He's waiting, waiting for the veteran to wave his fist.

As long as the other side can't resist causing riots first, they are the reasonable Party - this is particularly important. They are now in connord's ”territory”. Even if they are innocent, they will be suppressed as long as they are involved in things. Occupying the moral commanding height can at least keep the hundreds of guards behind Brandon from shaking.

This is the object he can fight for. As long as there are hundreds of people, Brandon and himself will not be isolated and let them handle it!

Justice has never been a weapon against the enemy, but a benchmark for uniting our own people.

Now the other side has shown signs that it can't hold up, mostly because things have exceeded his expectations - the more this time, the more we have to try our best to disrupt the other side's position and make the game more favorable to our own side.

For example, stimulate him again.

”Line --!”

The word almost popped out between his teeth. The veteran stubbornly restrained his impulse. His whole body seemed to vent, and he almost fell down. He didn't see a glimmer of disappointment flashed between Lauren's eyebrows.

Unfortunately, it's almost.

”Half a quarter of an hour, the duel trial will begin in half a quarter of an hour!” the old soldier gave Lauren a cold, ironic look:
