Chapter 50: The Tragedy

"Threatened" the soldier shouted a warning to the people around him while shielding the village chief, and the panicked children ran straight to the hut, "They're coming"

The soldiers in the distance quickly drew their swords and gathered, and the archers on the rooftops aimed at the trees. (Please remember our website)

There was a vague figure in the woods, and Tarrant swung his left hand back and shouted to the villagers, "Go back to the house" He vaguely saw that there was only one person over there, not "them".

"There are still people in the village," the two soldiers ran in the direction of the village.

The shadow in the forest scurried for a moment, and seemed to retreat.

Why did it appear during the day, the sunlight was dotted on the body, and it was a male from the silhouette, "Village Chief, can they hang out during the day?" Tarrant asked softly.

"Those werewolves can, they're just like us during the day. ”

The figure in front of him suddenly turned and ran backwards.

"He ran," the soldier asked Conasius for instructions.

"Protect the villagers" Connasius put away his bow and "let the nearby villagers come back"

Tarrant looked at the human figure in the distance, "...... during the day", he suddenly had an idea, since they can't be werewolves now, they don't have excellent physical fitness, "I'll chase" didn't wait for the other soldiers to respond that he had chased into the forest, he was worried that the werewolves were planning a conspiracy, and it saw the security forces and the mechanism set up.

The fleeing back was always at the edge of Tarrant's field of vision, and Tarrant swung his sword to sweep away the low branches, the image of a werewolf hovering in his mind, he didn't know much about the creatures, only that they had amazing healing powers, and that decapitation could effectively deal with them.

He got closer to his target, and even saw the back of the other's head, the sludge on that sturdy back, "stop" he yelled.

The man did not stop, but sprang out of the woods, and the end of the road was already in front of him, and a few hundred yards away was the canal, and the endless river continued to the horizon.

"Albert" recognized Albert when his vision widened.

The young man stopped, his body rising and falling with his breath.

"Do you have something to say?" Tarrant put away his sword, Albert grew up on the island, he was very familiar with the terrain here, if he was to escape, he should go to the jungle instead of here, "or do you want to give me to them as food?"

"I ......," Albert lowered his head in embarrassment, "I didn't expect it to happen...... Something like that...... I didn't expect ......"

Tarrant shrugged his shoulders slightly, he didn't blame the young man entirely for the crime that happened to Katrina, the team couldn't avoid the encounter with the vampire last night, on the contrary, after listening to the description of Albert by the village chief and the vampire, Tarrant felt a little pity for him, he was a man who was despised by everyone, and the village chief still commented on him as a "good werewolf".

Albert glanced behind Tarrant, "I saw soldiers in the morning. ”

His face was pale, he shuddered unconsciously as he spoke, he was in a very weak state, Tarrant simply swept his surroundings, his vision was good, the ground was covered with flat rocks, and the likelihood of an ambush was low, "Yes, Wilsing's vigilantes are coming", he was sure that the young man had something to say.

"They...... Are you here to solve us?" Albert's face became more and more ugly.

"The vigilantes are here to protect the village and solve the problems that threaten the safety of the villagers," Tarrant replied tactfully and directly.

"We have no ill intentions......" he shuddered slightly.

"It's too late to say this," Tarrant understood as the werewolf was begging for forgiveness, none of them being able to leave the island, and only wanted to excuse their actions in time, "the belated trial will finally begin." ”

"We didn't hurt the villagers," Albert clenched his fists slightly excitedly, "never thought about it"

"Oh?" the young man's expression was weak but determined, and Tarrant couldn't confirm for a moment that the village chief's description was the exact opposite of the story of the man in front of him, and that someone was lying.

"We thought about going back to the village, but they ...... Disagree. ”

"That's not what I heard. ”

"Wrong, it's all ......" Albert tapped his head, "when I appeared in front of them, they screamed loudly, they called me a ghost, and pierced my leg with a fishing gun", he pointed to the bare leg, which had not the slightest scar, "I returned to the village on a moonless night, and they blamed us for the disappearance...... As soon as we got close to the village, they attacked us without even a chance to explain. ”

He spoke at a faster pace, a misinterpreted excitement participating, and Tarrant asked, "You?"

"Others like me, we all want to go back to the village, who would want to be excluded, we are afraid of being isolated in the woods for life. ”

"The people of the village have seen your attack," Tarrant pointed out of his crime.

"We haven't attacked everybody, we're ...... Just fight those people", he said softly, lowering his head.

"Who?"

"Aimee, they ...... It was they who attacked the village, they wanted blood, they bit the throats of their loved ones......" Albert knelt on the rock in pain, "they have all changed, I don't know why this is happening......" his voice was chopped, almost choked, "They have become strangers, and they still want to control us." ”

"You mean, werewolves never attacked the village?" Tarrant imagined how the villagers would react when they saw Albert coming out of the cemetery, maybe the story had some credibility, but there were many doubts.

"We saw them and we wanted to warn the people in the village, but all we could do was howl and the head of the gun stabbed at us. ”

"Warning, you destroyed the village house at that time", the fact that could not be changed, Tarrant stared at his face.

"That's our home...... Just hoping to go home, my brother saw me, he stabbed me in the eye with a fishing gun, I was scared, I slammed the door and escaped......"

Tarrant was surprised, "You have another brother?"

"He ......" clear tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, "he died, and he was ...... by them during the night patrol"

"But the young man who patrols the night has disappeared"

"Vomit" Albert retched suddenly, he began to sob loudly, it was disgusting for a strong man to cry like a woman, but Tarrant felt a strange heaviness, Albert's trembling voice cried, "It's missing...... I took him ...... Ate ...... He gripped his throat tightly with his hands and retched violently, as if he wanted to vomit his stomach.

"Why?" Tarrant's mind went blank briefly, he didn't think it would be like this, and asked mechanically.

"Hunger...... We need food...... "Albert's whole body trembled, "and we saw the ...... on the ground with unbearable hunger Close relatives...... Dead loved one, I can't control it, bite off his leg like a beast...... His...... The heart is like that...... Cordial...... My brother," the young man recalled in utter anguish, his hands rubbing frantically against the rocks as if they were still stained with the blood of his loved ones, and the sharp corners of the rocks grazed his hands, and the wounds healed in an instant.

Tarrant felt nothing but grief, he knew what hunger was, his team had been lost in the southern grasslands of Serenzo and had been living on weeds for three days, an irresistible urge to lose his mind at the sight of food, but linked to corpses...... Tarrant also wanted to vomit, he would never endure this humiliation, the annihilation of humanity "That's not an excuse"

"We ...... It's all crazy...... Can't hold back...... Vomit...... I can't remember why...... Would you do that...... "Albert looked up in grief, "We tried to eat dried fish, we ate tree bark, and we couldn't swallow it at all...... Our bodies excrete those things. ”

Tarrant suddenly understood the strange weakness on Albert's body, it was hunger, he hadn't eaten for a long time, and what he said was most likely true, "You are protecting the village, protecting the villagers from vampires?"

Albert's nose twitched twice, "We...... We don't want to make mistakes again, we stay around the house, and Aimee will attack at any time...... People will be hurt......"

"But the villagers think that you are going to attack, and your misunderstanding is getting deeper and deeper", this process is logical.

Albert whimpered.

Fate played a grim joke on the island, and Tarrant decided to put an end to the tragedy, "I'll help you clarify." ”

"No......," Albert shook his head vigorously, "we're willing to ...... Do it to die, I regret doing a qiē I just want to ...... Can the Commander forgive...... Gloria ......"

"Gloria", Tarrant muttered silently, it turned out that it was for this girl, and Albert took a great risk to appear in front of the vigilantes just to intercede for her.

"She's kind, she doesn't deserve to be punished for this," Albert pleaded, his hands digging into the cracks in the stone.

"But ......" Tarrant didn't have a special impression of the girl, he couldn't remember if Gloria attacked the team together last night, he didn't remember if she chased into the woods, and he wasn't sure if she was the one who was wiped out by the Light Note last night, the situation was too dangerous, and the details were blurred.

"I'm willing to do anything, I just want Gloria to be safe. ”

"I understand how you feel", Tarrant faced the same situation, so he believed in Albert's true love for Gloria, "but those who make mistakes are punished, no matter what the reason, no matter who they are, no one has privileges, and Gloria is ......"

"She didn't," Albert exclaimed.

"So what does she rely on to stay alive, she doesn't have hunger?"

"She ......" Albert buried his head, unable to argue.

"She's already a vampire, and like Aimee, you risked your life to bring me here......"

"I don't care, I've given up my life for her. ”

"What?" said Tarrant, surprised.

Albert clutched his chest, "I became what I am because I was with Gloria"
