The highlander officers who had participated in the military council drew their swords one after another, and surrounded Carolus alone in the center of the tent.

"Oh, do you dare to attack the Earl of the Kingdom?" he sneered disdainfully, "Or do you think that with such a small number of people, you can be sure that you can leave me behind so that it can be faked as an accidental attack?"

"Calm down, Lord Earl..."

General William looked like a victor and laughed indifferently.

In fact, as the king's loyal lackey, he was not afraid of the earl from the beginning, especially after learning that he had lost his family's fiefdom, Silverblade Castle.

Although the duel with the knight of Carlos was somewhat unexpected.

But the reason why General William obeyed his words was nothing more than the king's secret order, and he wanted to wait for an opportunity to win over the earl to join his camp, after all, this war started by the people of the Misty Mountains, and the conspiracy and strife hidden behind it were really suspicious.

"Someone is behind it all!"

These were the words that the King had spoken to General Wilhelm when he received a letter for help from Ilcutrin.

And another thing that this king, who had never been liked by his father, but who had finally been able to sit on the throne and who had been known for his wisdom and cunning, had another sentence when he appointed him to go to the rescue:

"The Mormont family is the shield that guards the kingdom, but if even Carolus Mormont can't stop the attack of the Misty Mountain people, then let him make the right choice, or let Jao replace him, the young man of the Mormont family who served in the Kingdom Guard..."

The meaning of substitution was conveyed by the king's gesture of wiping one hand through his throat, and it was evident that the rulers were a little tired of Carolus's professed loyalty to the kingdom, but in fact wavered at both ends.

"But at least the eldest son will inherit the family, which is a good result...", General William thought so, and was about to give another chance, "Have you thought it through?"

"If I say no," Karolus was a little puzzled by noticing the slightly trembling hand of the highlander officer's grip on the hilt of his sword, "Could it be that these people are here for real?

Although General Wilhelm's self-righteous predicament posed no threat to him at all, the feeling of being concealed from the truth and feeling like he had been played with was unpleasant.

"So to rescue the kingdom and defeat the people of the Misty Mountains or something, is it just the wishful thinking of the earl and himself..."Thinking of the earl's title, Carolus couldn't help but ask: "You obviously don't have the guts, but why would the king want to kill me?"

Limited by the thinking of the earthlings, he really couldn't understand the thoughts of the people in this world, and thought that it was just a war game about victory and defeat.

"Looks like you've made your choice..."

General William naturally did not intend to answer this irreverent question, he just waved his hand regretfully, and drew an imperfect end to this conversation with the roar between the blades.

"Bell!"

Sparks splash.

The highlanders, who could not resist the great force, were kicked away by Carolus, knocking the cloth tent through a narrow gap, and tumbling out, causing the patrol soldiers to exclaim.

"Let's get on it!"

General Wilhelm roared in displeasure.

Several giant blades struck at the same time, only to be nimble enough for Carolus to dodge, slitting the unfortunate ones by the throat - since they were trying to kill him, he no longer intended to keep his hands.

"Ah!!h

The screams came to an abrupt end.

Carolus's burly figure roamed the small space of the tent like a ghost, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was accompanied by a splash of blood that stained almost everything around him red.

"Are you satisfied?"

The battle was settled before the soldiers on the periphery rushed in, and he put the 'frost' in his hand on General Wilhelm's shoulder, completely disintegrating his attempts to resist.

The highlander officers had been slaughtered to the ground, corpses and severed limbs were all over the camp, and only the stunned Barak and the clerk, who had peed his pants but were still alive, were huddled in the corner, shivering.

"You won..."

General William let Pande's sword fall to the ground with a dejected face, overestimating himself, and the successive defeats had deeply pierced his proud heart.

"But so what! can you kill all our highlanders by yourself?" he roared almost hysterically, "this is the king's order! Lord Earl! you think you are for the kingdom? But who cares? all he has in his eyes is his throne!"

"So you admit it," Carolus said indifferently, "all this is the king's order?"

General William glanced at the clerk with an ugly face, and the faithful fellow, even though his whole body was trembling, still recorded the conversation between the two in a bloody quill notebook.

"Stop! you damn bastard!"

He tried to fight past to stop the clerk's actions, but was hit in the abdomen by Carolus with a punch, and he could only bend down in pain to gasp, and after losing his support point, he fell to his knees.

"You see, you can't blame others for being too faithful just because you want to save your reputation, can you?" said Carolus, who walked over and picked up the clerk's notebook, "Well done!"

He praised.

The above content is unbiased, complete and exhaustive, and records everything that happened before.

"Kill them!"

General William took advantage of this opportunity to escape from the camp and gave the highland soldiers who were loyal to him an order to kill, "As long as you kill these three men and destroy the damned notepad, there will be room for tactfulness..."

The paranoid thought had taken over his mind, and General Wilhelm could almost predict his end at the thought that His Majesty might read these disrespectful words.

However, at this moment, a holy light suddenly lit up, and the soldiers who surrounded him were frightened and took a few steps back.

"It's magic!"

The soldiers who had followed Carolus to investigate took the lead in shouting, "Lord Count can use the power of magic!" They were proud to be the first to learn of this information, but they were so afraid of this mysterious and unknown power that they were so affected by it that they ignored General William's orders.

"Kill them!"

In the midst of the noisy discussion, his angry cry was naturally swallowed up by the buzzing tide, and not even a ripple of waves could be stirred up.
