He believes that the local government really is going to take their report too lightly, and that if he convinces the people that the threat is real, they will force their leader's hands.  Hoever, that would actually be a side benefit.  His main motivation is anger at what he sees as unjust punishment about to be delivered by stupid authority.  This is a bit of a reversion to Fredar's earlier days, where his companions (no matter how ong they have been his companions) deserve more loyalty than any established authority.  He has grown up wiouth much respect for authority, and his first inclination when he feels that outlok has been proved right is to work against it any way he can.  By making the danger of the goblins clear to the crowd, poinitng out what was sacrificed to bring them the news, and how Nate is being punished for his efforts by someone who wants to ignore the danger, Fredar hopes to make it politically impossible/inexpedient for the sgt. to follow through with the lashing.  At the same time, he still expects the lashing to happen,  but hopes to set the Seventh up as the clear good guys in the eyes of the crowd if the whipping does happen.  </blockquote>
