Facing Stone Ridge's unreasonable behavior, Basil Jaak coldly said, "Stone Ridge, who are you to speak to me like this? General Cleveland is not here, and I hold the highest rank. It's no secret that General Cleveland's death might be your doing. Hmph, you're his vassal, your master is dead, yet you're still alive. I suspect you are a spy from the Fire Hawk Legion!"
Playing the blame game, Basil Jaak wasn't afraid. His words turned Stone Ridge's face alternately pale and flushed.
"You, you dare… to accuse me?!" Stone Ridge roared angrily, his face red.
Basil Jaak directly questioned sternly, "General Ridge, then tell me, as a vassal of General Ridge, why didn't you live and die together with him, but instead abandoned your master on the battlefield to save yourself? What sort of crime is that? Do you want to go back to Immortal City to find out?"
A vassal betraying his master is a punishment worthy of being torn apart by five horses!
