Everyone present was stunned by Fang Zheng's words. After a long while, they finally reacted.

“Arrogant!”

"rude!"

"presumptuous!"

At this moment, everyone was staring at Fang Zheng and loudly scolding him.

"This is extremely disrespectful! Such an arrogant man should be arrested immediately!"

"Guards! Where are the guards?! Arrest the murderer who killed Lord Roswaal immediately!"

Suddenly, the hall became chaotic, and soldiers with weapons rushed over and surrounded Fang Zheng and the others.

However, at this moment, suddenly, a voice sounded.

"Please wait a moment."

This voice seemed to have some kind of magical power, and immediately calmed the noise in the hall. Fang Zheng turned around and saw a cheerful young man with red hair walking over and looking at him seriously.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, don't you think your previous remarks were a bit too rude to the deceased Lord Roswaal? In any case, although Lord Roswaal was like that, he was a man who had made great contributions to our Lugnica. I hope you can take back your previous rude remarks."

"I refuse."

Looking at the red-haired young man in front of him, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"I don't know the position and influence of that Roswaal in your Lugnica, but in my opinion, he is just a guy who is suspected of colluding with the Witch Cult to attack the village and cause the massacre, and he attacked me without knowing his own limitations. So, it's my freedom to call him an ant or a bug."

"Really? I see what you mean."

Hearing this, the red-haired young man nodded and stopped talking, seeming to accept Fang Zheng's explanation.

But unfortunately, not everyone is as reasonable as the red-haired young man.

"Ridiculous! You killed a noble from another country without authorization, and you insulted Lord Roswaal in this way?"

"Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable!!"

The civil officials roared at Fang Zheng, while the military officials had different expressions, but none of them looked happy. Although it was directed at Roswaal, Fang Zheng's attitude was obviously disrespectful to the Kingdom of Lugnica. As knights guarding the kingdom, they certainly couldn't look at Fang Zheng well.

"Have you finished talking nonsense?"

Fang Zheng picked his ear and flicked his little finger.

"So? Do you have anything else to say besides these crap that sounds like a loser's wail? If not, I won't waste my time here."

And at this moment, the old man finally spoke.

"In other words, you admit that you killed Roswaal, and you have no intention of reflecting on it or apologizing?"

"That's right. I have no reason to apologize to an idiot who wanted to kill me without saying a word but was killed in return because of his lack of strength. I came here just to consider the minimum courtesy. Just like what that man said, although in my opinion, the clown is just a bug, he seems to be a very famous person in your country, so it is natural for me to come here and explain the cause and process of his death. But other than that, I haven't thought about doing anything... Forget about compensation, because I don't think I killed the wrong person or did anything wrong."

Fang Zheng answered calmly, but his answer only added fuel to the fire.

"Nonsense! Besides, it's just a border village, how can it be compared to Lord Roswaal?"

"If I saw the video correctly, it should be a village of ghosts! Ghosts are just disgusting beings. Even if they are killed, what's the problem? They are just barbarians..."

"Are those two girls the survivors of the ghost tribe? That means Lord Roswaal died because of them. They should be arrested and executed immediately!"

"hehe……"

The hall, which was once again filled with excitement, suddenly became dead silent.

The incomparable dragon power descended, making the faces of the people in front of him turn pale.

"In my opinion, you bugs here are not even as good as a hair of these two girls."

Fang Zheng reached out his hand and gently stroked Ram and Rem, who had curled up their bodies because of the disgusted looks from everyone. Although they had been mentally prepared, they had never been the target of insults and accusations in such an occasion before.

So much so that both girls were stiff and nervous at this moment.

However, feeling Fang Zheng's touch, their originally stiff bodies gradually relaxed.

"Just looking at them is an eyesore, and listening to them talk is even more disgusting."

At this point, Fang Zheng's expression darkened slightly.

"Originally, I came here just to ask if anyone else knows about the Witch Cult, and then tell you how Roswaal died, but now, I have changed my mind."

As Fang Zheng spoke, the dragon's might that enveloped the hall suddenly withdrew, and at this moment, those who were suffocated by the dragon's might came to their senses. However, this time, no one dared to say anything more. Everyone looked around anxiously, their faces pale. The terrifying aura that just appeared out of nowhere had been deeply imprinted in their hearts. Even the stupidest people knew that the man in front of them was definitely not someone they could easily deal with.

"What do you want?!"

Miklotov stared at Fang Zheng with a serious expression and asked in a stern voice. He was not an idiot. As a representative of the Sages' Association, the old man could feel how terrible the pressure just now was. It was unprecedentedly terrifying. He was beginning to regret that he should not have discussed this issue with the other party in such an occasion.

Originally, Miklotov had hoped to use the pressure from the entire Lugnica Kingdom to gain an advantageous position, but now it seemed that this trick was completely useless against the man in front of him.

Considering the information about him that I got before, if it is true...

“It’s very simple.”

Fang Zheng extended a finger.

"Cede territory and pay compensation."

"What?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"To be honest, I was planning to kill you for your rude remarks just now. But considering that there are reasons for this, I will give you one chance... As long as you are willing to cede a piece of land to me, then I will let you go. Otherwise, you won't see the sun tomorrow morning."

This was not something Fang Zheng had just thought of, but an idea he had had for a long time. After all, his current castle was still located in the territory of the Kingdom of Li Yestijie. Although it was considered a private territory, it was still somewhat inconvenient. Since this would become Fang Zheng's base in this world, he naturally wanted to make it more rigorous. If he could get a piece of his own territory, it would be great.

Originally, Fang Zheng's idea was to find a time to open up a piece of uninhabited land. But since Lugnica and his gang of idiots were courting death, he didn't need to be polite.

"You, you are threatening me!"

"Yes, it's a threat. Since you are speaking such arrogant words in front of me, you must pay the price. Okay, now make your choice."

Having said this, Fang Zheng spread out his hands.

"Is it the territory? Or your lives?"

"Are you really that confident in your own abilities?"

Looking at Fang Zheng in front of him, even the calm Miklotov couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"certainly."

"Well, in that case, I can agree to your request, but... I also have a condition."

"explain."

"Reinhard."

Hearing the call, the red-haired man who had talked to Fang Zheng before came out, and seeing him appear, the civil servants around him all breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is our country's strongest knight, the Sword Saint Reinhard van Astraea. His strength far exceeds Roswaal's. If you can defeat him, then everything you said is true. In that case, Lugnica is willing to apologize for our mistakes and disrespects."

"Oh, what if I lose?"

"Then I'm sorry, as the murderer of Roswaal, you must stay."

"I see. Okay, no problem. If you had said that earlier, it would have been done."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded. Now it seems that this was probably something that the Sages had planned before. He didn't know how strong Reinhard was, but seeing that this old man from the Sages dared to call this man out without hesitation on such a serious issue as ceding territory, and seeing that everyone around him had an expression as if they were the savior after Reinhard appeared, it can be seen that this man's strength is definitely second to none in this country.

In other words, if it weren't for the previous monkey show, the Sages would probably have let this man named Reinhard take action in the end.

"Then let's settle it here."

"It's better to go out. It would be bad if there is any damage to the surroundings."

In response to Fang Zheng's suggestion, Reinhard shook his head, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"It's just a matter of one sword...Okay, whatever, I'll listen to you."

After saying this, Fang Zheng turned around and walked out of the hall with the two girls, while Reinhard smiled helplessly and followed him out. The others looked at each other and followed behind. However, these people all had expressions of gloating or indignation on their faces.

They also heard Fang Zheng's last words, and they all felt that he was extremely arrogant. Are you kidding me? Who is Reinhard? He is the strongest knight in the kingdom, and he is called the Sword Saint. He is not even on the same level as Roswaal! Even if you can defeat Roswaal, you will never be a match for Reinhard!

In their opinion, this young man must have become arrogant after defeating Roswaal and felt that he was invincible. That was fine. They really wanted to see how his arrogant face would be distorted when he was defeated by Reinhard's sword!

Soon, the two arrived at the square outside the palace. Fang Zheng summoned his black and white swords, while Reinhard borrowed a sword from a knight.

"You don't use your sword?"

Looking at Reinhard's actions, Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel curious, while Reinhard smiled sheepishly.

"I'm very sorry. It's not that I look down on you, Mr. Fang Zheng. You don't know that this dragon sword..."

“Swish!!”

However, before Reinhardt could finish his words, he saw the sword at his waist suddenly unsheathed automatically, and the sword body flashing with cold light exuded an invisible pressure.

Seeing this scene, everyone watching the fight was shocked.

"The Dragon Sword is actually unsheathed?"

"It is said that the Dragon Sword will only be unsheathed when it senses a necessary opponent. Is this man really that strong?"

Oh... so there is such a setting.

After hearing this, Fang Zheng finally understood why Reinhard would borrow someone else's sword. However, that sword was called the Dragon Sword, and Fang Zheng could indeed feel a faint dragon power on it. In addition, this country was known as a pro-dragon country - could this sword be related to that dragon?

However, while Fang Zheng was thinking, Restia and Esther were unhappy. As sword elves, they also had self-esteem. Although Reinhard's dragon sword also had intelligence, compared with the two sword elves, it was just the difference between a monkey and a human. Restia and Esther were now like watching a monkey chirping and showing off in front of its master - how could they tolerate this? !

Soon, a faint light emanated from Fang Zheng's black and white swords, and two invisible pressures also spread out instantly. Feeling this pressure, the dragon sword that had just rushed out halfway suddenly stopped, and then slowly began to shrink back? !

Is Long Jian afraid?

Others didn't feel it, but Reinhardt felt it, which surprised him. He had never thought that his dragon sword would be afraid and fearful!

"Okay, stop playing."

At this moment Fang Zheng also came back to his senses and knocked on the two swords. Restia and Esther then withdrew their pressure and released the Dragon Sword. The Dragon Sword no longer acted arrogantly, but lay obediently in Reinhard's hands, as if it were a dead person.

"Well, excuse me then."

Holding the Dragon Sword in his hand, Reinhardt's expression became more serious. The opponent was able to make the Dragon Sword feel afraid, and his strength must be unfathomable, but at the same time, Reinhardt was also quite looking forward to it. After all, he had never experienced a battle like this before.

"You are welcome."

Compared to other people, Fang Zheng had a pretty good impression of Reinhard. At least this person was very polite, unlike the others who asked for a beating.

But Fang Zheng will not show mercy.

"Well, here I come."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised the pitch-black sword in his hand, and soon, flames rose from it.

Then, Fang Zheng took a step forward and swung his sword.

Just one step.

The people watching the battle only felt a flash before their eyes, and then a roar comparable to thunder suddenly came, spreading in all directions. This roar was like a hammer, hitting those people's hearts heavily. The military officers and knights who had enough strength were fine, but many of the civil officials rolled their eyes and fainted on the spot, and the rest of the people were also groggy and felt dizzy and nauseous.

But when they stood up, they only saw Fang Zheng standing there with a big sword in his hand. In front of him, they did not see Reinhardt. On the contrary, everyone only felt that in front of Fang Zheng, there was a long trace extending to the city wall in the distance - even the solid city wall was collapsed.

Could it be that...

Seeing this scene, everyone widened their eyes in surprise, and an incredible thought emerged in their minds.

No way... Could it be that this man really defeated Lugnica's strongest knight, Reinhard, with just one sword? !

"Get up, I didn't kill you."

Fang Zheng looked at the ruins in the distance and spoke. Then the ruins "crashed" and a figure jumped out from them and came in front of Fang Zheng again.

This was exactly Reinhard, but at this time Reinhard was already covered in dust and dirt, and his cloak and armor were somewhat tattered, making him look like he had fought a great battle.

“I lost.”

Reinhard lowered his head, but his tone did not sound heavy.

"Mr. Fang Zheng's strength is truly unfathomable and admirable."

"Your power is interesting, too."

Fang Zheng also laughed at Reinhard. In fact, what he said was not wrong. When Fang Zheng swung his sword at Reinhard, he could feel that the whole world seemed to gather together at that moment, trying to stop him.

This feeling was a bit similar to the feeling when Fang Zheng was attacked by the world's kitchen knife in the love world, but Reinhard didn't seem to be the protagonist, so when Fang Zheng burned the first fire to fight back, the opponent was not protected by the root core barrier. Therefore, Fang Zheng broke the world's protection with a sword and directly knocked him away.

However, it is rare to be able to directly obtain the protection of the world. If it were not for a god like Fang Zheng who came from another world, he would probably not be able to defeat him.

It is no wonder that the Sages were so confident in pushing him out. If it were any other person, it would be hard for them to get any benefit from Reinhard. But unfortunately, Reinhard met himself, and he was not the protagonist, nor the core villain boss, so he could not enjoy the protection of the core barrier. In other words, Reinhard was the kind of person who could die in the nature of this world, and his death would not cause the world to collapse.

If it was Lina Inbas, I'm afraid it would be a different situation...

But now...

"alright."

Fang Zheng put away his two swords and looked at the audience around him who had grim expressions.

"Anyone else has any comments?"
