Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor-Chapter 489 - 258: I Don’t Believe You

Sloer’s voice carried a noticeable tremor,

"I am the Lord of Long Winter Town, Sloer the Shieldbreaker. Which noble family do you come from?"

"The Empire is currently in a state of war. I think we can discuss whatever matters there may be!"

Luo De, outside the town, patted Thunder, who moved forward slowly.

"Sloer, you sent emissaries to challenge my limits and trample on my dignity. Have you forgotten that?"

Sloer on the city wall trembled and immediately widened his eyes.

Impossible!

How could this Lord Rod have such strength?

In the past, he needed to invite me to deal with the Lizardmen. How does he now have such a well-equipped army?

There are even two dragon-like creatures!

We are all Barons of the Desert. What is he relying on?

Sloer’s mind was racing, and he swallowed hard.

"Baron Rod!"

"What are you trying to do?"

"Surrounding Frost Leaf Town with an army without any warning is against noble rules!"

Sloer’s voice was loud, but it was filled with a sense of guilt.

"Against the rules?"

"We were getting along fine, yet you suddenly sent people to Frost Leaf Town to offend me!"

Luo De took out a letter from his pocket and held it high,

"Avril is my fiancée, yet you want to take her away and claim you have a marriage contract with her?"

"Slandering my fiancée!"

"Trampling on my dignity!"

Luo De interrogated sternly, "Is this your noble code?"

"Miss Avril is not your fiancée! The Red Griffin Family has already betrothed her to me!"

Sloer straightened his chest, arguing loudly,

"The emissary of the Red Griffin Family is here with me. He can prove everything!"

"What nonsense of an emissary!"

Luo De rebuked harshly,

"Open your filthy dog eyes and take a good look!"

Luo De unfolded the marriage contract brightly,

"This is the marriage contract written by Avril’s father, the Earl of the Red Griffin, with the Gilded Seal of the Red Griffin Clan on it!"

"Avril is my lawful fiancée!"

Sloer frowned, turning to look incredulously at the Red Griffin emissary beside him,

"Leviathan, what is going on?!"

"He can’t have a marriage contract!"

The somewhat flustered Leviathan immediately said, "It must be fake!"

"Are you sure?" Sloer pressed on.

Leviathan hesitated for a moment, "I’m sure!"

Finished.

Seeing Leviathan’s appearance, a bad premonition surged in Sloer’s heart.

Recalling his previous attitude toward Avril, Sloer realized he was caught up in a struggle.

But Sloer cannot admit defeat.

"Lord Rod, I didn’t expect you dared to forge a marriage contract!"

Sloer shouted hoarsely, "I can let Miss Avril go to you, but you can’t forge a marriage contract!"

"That is a serious crime!"

"Fake?"

Luo De sneered, responding loudly:

"Since you think it’s fake, you can come out and verify it yourself!"

"If it’s fake, I’ll withdraw my troops immediately."

"But if it’s real, I want to cleanse the shame you’ve brought me with your blood!"

"If you’re scared, or let your emissary come out and see if it’s real or not."

Sloer opened his mouth but couldn’t speak, falling into silence.

"Indeed, Sloer, you know something."

Luo De’s voice suddenly became calm, questioning, "Now that my marriage contract is here, where is yours?"

Sloer looked at the Red Griffin emissary, "Why does my marriage contract only have the ordinary family crest without any Gilded Seal?"

"This..."

Leviathan was at a loss for words, not answering for a long time.

"Residents of Long Winter Town, do you see this?"

Luo De’s voice sounded again, "Your lord tried to steal my fiancée. That’s something no man could tolerate."

"Today’s matter must be washed away with blood."

"But I am merciful, understanding that you are innocent, and do not wish to see you suffer."

"Therefore, I am willing to give your lord, Sloer, a choice."

Luo De slowly drew the Ashbringer, the blade glistening in the sunlight.

"I, Baron of Black Pine Ridge, Luo De Tulip, challenge Sloer the Shieldbreaker, Baron."

"Life or death, irrespective of victory or defeat, I will withdraw my troops!"

"I will not trouble anyone in Long Winter Town!"

The resounding voice spread across the city walls, causing soldiers to stir and turn their eyes toward Sloer.

Their eyes were full of anticipation.

If the lord agreed to a duel, they could save their lives and protect their families.

But Sloer’s face darkened further.

Looking at the imposing Luo De, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Luo De’s demeanor and Great Sword were clearly that of a seasoned warrior.

While Sloer was merely a pampered noble, a duel would be suicide.

"Why, why should I accept your challenge?"

Sloer stammered, "You’re invading my territory with troops. You’re violating the imperial law!"

"Why should I duel with you?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Did you hear that, residents of Long Winter Town? Your lord is a cowardly, selfish, unscrupulous noble!"

Luo De’s purpose achieved, he sneered coldly.

"Coward!"

Durant’s voice rang out, and the soldiers behind him clashed their shields, shouting,

"Coward! Coward! Coward!"

The deafening chants changed the complexion of the guards as they began to view Sloer with different eyes.

Yes, if a one-on-one duel could solve the issue, why not accept it?

Why bring the whole of Long Winter Town to ruin?

"What are you looking at?"

Sloer glared angrily, somewhat incoherent, "This is my territory. I make the rules. You eat my food; you must fight for me!"
