Come to another world and become a lord

Chapter 194 Conflict and Riot

Near midnight, a large force of the royal army appeared around the Crusader camp and quickly surrounded the entire camp. King Philip was wearing armor, riding a white horse with his eyes wide open.

Gareth followed closely behind his father, his brows furrowed, with doubts in his heart:

"Perhaps, we should try to negotiate with Aiden and ask the Grand Master to come out and confront him. They assassinated my father, which is wrong to begin with. We can prevent the Church from refutation."

After hearing his words, Philip turned his head. When Gareth saw his expression, he was almost frightened. The king's eyes were full of anger, and he glared at Gareth fiercely:

"Negotiation? Didn't you see? They want to kill me! And then they'll label me a heretic."

"That's why we need to negotiate. If it comes to that, it will be irreversible," Gareth continued.

After hearing his words, Philip nodded slightly, then smiled and said:

"You're right. If it really comes to that, it will be irreversible. So now there is only one way! Kill them all, the Crusaders, Carl, and even Campbell's troops. No one can be left alive! Only by killing them all can I completely cover up my relationship with the vampires!"

Gareth was stunned. He had never seen his father so out of control. It was as if the man in front of him had lost his mind. He shouted hurriedly:

"Father, let's not talk about the Crusaders first. Carl and Campbell are our vassals!"

"What? You want me to leave witnesses? So that they can go to the Vatican to file a complaint?" Philip roared again.

"Witnesses? There is no way to hide this kind of thing. If we talk about witnesses, then everyone here is a witness, including your soldiers..."

"Then kill them all!" Before he could finish, Philip interrupted him angrily, "Whether it's Aiden, Carl, Campbell, or even all of you, as long as you kill them all, no one will know about this, and no one can threaten my throne!"

After that, without waiting for Gareth to react, Philip had already issued the order to attack: "All troops attack! Charge in and kill them all!"

The sound of trumpets resounded through the night sky, and Philip's army began to move quickly. The sound of the cavalry trotting on the ground echoed on the battlefield like thunder. Gareth stood there, staring at his father in a daze. The latter seemed to have completely lost his mind. Why did he suddenly become like this? Was it fear or anger? He felt something was wrong, but he didn't know why. Seeing that the battle was about to break out, he could only move forward with the army and prepare for the bloody battle that might break out at any time.

At the same time, Aiden was reviewing some letters seized from the castle in his tent, including several private letters between King Philip and the Countess. These secret letters should have been destroyed, but were secretly kept by the Countess. From these contents, he could be sure that King Philip had known about the existence of vampires for a long time and had even been protecting them for a long time.

Just based on these letters, Philip could be convicted of heresy, and it was not just a small matter like not having a firm faith or protecting a wizard. Vampires are real dangers to humanity, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are extremely evil. Aiden put down the letters in his hand, held his forehead with both hands and fell into deep thought. After thinking for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, grabbed the letters, and then threw them into the stove.

Looking at the parchment letter slowly burning in the fire and eventually turning into ashes, he sighed helplessly. At this moment, a knight suddenly ran in in a panic, knelt down in front of him, and then shouted:

"No, it's bad, Grand Commander. King Philip has surrounded us with his army!"

Aiden frowned for a moment, his heart skipped a beat. He looked at the letter that had burned out in the fire. Was it because of this? If so, then everyone could just pretend that it didn't happen. He didn't need to do this. In fact, he didn't intend to escalate the situation. Although he was somewhat reluctant, he was the monarch of a country after all. If they really fell out, the pressure on the Church would be great.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at the knight and said:

"Why did he surround us? There must be some misunderstanding."

However, the answer he got was beyond his expectations. The knight stammered and said:

"Because... because just a few hours ago, Lunda and his men went to the king's camp and tried to assassinate him..."

Aiden was shocked when he heard this, and his face turned pale instantly:

"Assassinate the king? Why? Are they crazy? Who gave the order?"

"Because... because there are rumors that those vampires were raised by Philip. When Rhonda and the others found out, they were furious and wanted to avenge their brothers... and kill this heretic at the same time..."

Aiden's eyes almost popped out of his head. He couldn't understand why these knights would take such an extreme action without authorization. What was even more bizarre was that there was no sign before this incident. It just happened so suddenly. He felt dizzy and it seemed difficult for him to even stand still. The situation was completely out of control. What should he do next? Then he suddenly thought of something and glared at the knight:

"Wait, from what you said, it seems like you knew about this a long time ago."

The knight didn't answer, but the expression on his face made it clear to Aiden:

"So, you knew, but you didn't stop it!"

"So many brothers died, and they left us to die in the forest without saving us. The most hateful thing is that these vampires were raised by them! Not only me, but all the brothers are furious! Everyone wants revenge!"

"So you all knew everything, but I was the only one kept in the dark?" Aiden roared.

But the knight also raised his head, his face also full of anger, and replied:

"We are warriors of the Holy See, eradicating heresy. What's wrong with that? Philip deserves to die, he is an accomplice of the vampire!"

"He is the king of a country. Have you thought about the consequences?" Aiden yelled.

"At worst, I can die and reunite with my dead brothers!" said the knight, suddenly drawing the long sword from his waist.

Aiden looked at him, and saw anger in his eyes, uncontrollable anger that seemed to devour him. Then he heard shouts and screams outside the tent, and the battle seemed to have begun.

Aiden shook his head helplessly and looked at the knight again, but saw that the knight was still looking at him fiercely, and then said:

"Grandmaster, please don't let us down."

He let out a long breath, then drew his sword and rushed out of the tent with the knight...

When the Crusader camp was on fire, Carl was still asleep and had a dream. The dream was very clear. He returned to Rickburg again. Rickburg was burned to pieces, just like the illusion he saw in the dragon's nest. He saw his soldiers killing each other again. This seemed to be a continuation of the previous illusion. In the illusion, he saw Amira and Alia fighting, but at this time he saw Alia wielding a flaming sword and beheading the sorceress. Eleanor killed Elsa, and Selena killed Jim.

Then he heard a roar, and a huge black dragon flew across the sky, breathing fire from its mouth, and began to indiscriminately attack the soldiers fighting on the ground.

His heart was filled with pain and powerlessness. He wanted to stop it all but found himself unable to move.

Suddenly, he saw a black sword. He recognized that sword - it was the evil sword used by Ford. It was stuck in the ground at this moment, not far from him, and he could reach it with just a stretch of his hand.

The sword emitted a strange black light. Beside the black sword, a little girl with white hair had been standing there. Her eyes were as cold as ice. When she spoke, her voice was extremely neutral, a voice that Karl was also familiar with. She said:

"See? Humans are always so weak and lack self-control."

"I remember this voice. It was you talking to me when I killed Ford."

"I'm glad you still remember me~ I have always emphasized that I am your friend." The girl immediately smiled, revealing her white teeth, the most obvious of which were the sharp fangs on both sides.

"How dare a vampire speak so shamelessly?" Carl replied bluntly.

But I heard her say:

"Vampires are just a method, the best salvation."

"What are you talking about?" Carl asked calmly.

"I'm saying that humans are too weak to survive in such a world. Becoming a vampire is the only right way."

"nonsense!"

"Nonsense!" Carl's voice echoed in his dream, and he suddenly felt angry, like a raging fire! His body began to tremble unconsciously, and an uncontrollable anger surged in his chest. The other party's contempt and the smile that seemed to know everything made him feel teased and manipulated. The humiliation was eroding his reason bit by bit.

"How dare you say such things in front of me!" His eyes were bloodshot, and he could almost hear the sound of his teeth clenching. His fingers clenched into fists, and he wished he could tear the girl in front of him into pieces immediately.

The little girl with white hair still stood there, smiling, a sickening smile:

"Look at yourself. I told you that humans are too weak to survive."

The girl's voice grew softer and colder, as if she were whispering to an out-of-control beast.

Carl's breathing became more and more rapid, and his chest rose and fell violently. His vision gradually blurred, and the battlefield around him became more and more chaotic. Soldiers continued to fight around him, the flames of the black dragon devoured large numbers of lives, and the light of the black sword became more and more dazzling, as if it was calling him.

He stretched out his hand suddenly, trying to grasp the evil sword. He felt his heart beating wildly, and the urge to kill and kill had completely occupied his mind. He just wanted to kill the hateful girl in front of him and put an end to her endless ridicule and provocation.

However, just as his fingers were about to touch the hilt of the sword, the entire dream suddenly collapsed.

Before he finished speaking, the dream began to break, and Carl suddenly woke up in a cold sweat. However, when he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that Isabel was standing in his tent, staring at him like a ghost in the dark.
