Chapter fifty-one
Section 51
"Guard!" Ruk shouted with all his strength. There were only two guards on duty outside, but there were dozens of fully armed knights in the castle. A hint of excitement appeared on his pale face. Ashu Rufate came to his door himself, and it was like he was seeking death!
The sound of metal armor hitting was heard. Groups of knights rushed in, forming a half-encirclement behind Ash Rufate. But Ash Rufate seemed to see nothing.
"Lian, do you remember what I said? I will never forgive your betrayal! When you meet again, you will find that I am more dangerous than the ten-haired dragons. But it seems that your God did not bless you and let you meet me again. And you have not built a castle that even ten-haired dragons cannot break."
Ryan's face was pale and threw down the cup in his hand hard, although it was still filled with undrinking wine. His hands were placed on the hilt of his sword. At St. Gene, all the nobles were knights, and this party did not entertain women, so each noble carried weapons with him as usual. Even Ruk was given a foil sword to decorate the storefront.
"As for everyone else, including the ones behind me, you will make your own choice. From one to ten, all those who think they have nothing to do with this matter can leave. One…two…three…” Asus Rufate counted, staring at Ryan and Ruke standing side by side. Although he had an absolute advantage, the uneasiness in Ruke's heart surged overwhelmingly. When Asus Rufate's eyes were on him, he felt the fear of death in an instant.
A stream of water rushed out, making his pants wet and hot.
"…9…10…” Ashu Rufate finished counting, but no one present left. On the contrary, more guards appeared outside the gate.
"Very good, I have given you the opportunity to choose. It seems that you don't think you have nothing to do with this matter. In this way, no one can say that they are innocent when they die." Ash Rufate raised his sword, and the magic energy wrapped around the sword, causing the sword to scream shrillly. No one doubted the origin of the sword, and everyone thought that the sword was his capture on the battlefield.
"Kill him!" Ruk finally came to his senses and shouted in anger. After all, Ashu Rufate had only one person!
Irina was awakened by the rushing knock on the door.
She rested very early today, but she never fell asleep. The words said by the old man in black robe during the day were as heavy as a stone. What did I do wrong? Yes, I shouldn't let Ryan "temporarily serve" the general, otherwise there would be no trouble. But wasn't it recommended by most people in the palace meeting at that time? I just followed everyone! Why should I be responsible? And that was just a transitional position...
The knock on the door pulled her back from this half-sleeping state. She stroked her bed lamp with her hand, and the bright light immediately illuminated the room. This was one of the gifts Ryan gave him, a magic lamp made by the Church of True God. It used to be a personal belonging to some Paro noble, but eventually turned into Lane's trophy and was transferred to him.
"What's the matter?" she asked loudly.
"Your Highness, something is wrong." The person who spoke outside was not someone else, but Little Rowling. She also followed Irina to the mountainous area. "Earl of Ashu Rufat..."
"What's wrong with him?" Could it be that he was dead?
"He and Duke Ryan have a conflict... The person I saw said that both sides have moved their swords!" Little Rowling's voice was nervous and excited.
"What?!"
Irina hurriedly put on her clothes at the fastest speed. How could this happen? She rushed to the courtyard without thinking and summoned her followers there. A few minutes later, she led a team of guards and rushed straight to the castle where Ryan lived.
The situation was absolutely terrible. Before she could enter the castle gate, she immediately smelled a strong smell of blood. At the entrance of the main building, several corpses were lying in a mess, none of which were complete.
The situation in the main building was even worse. The traces of magic burning, silences and corpses were everywhere, the human body was chopped, pierced, cut, minced meat, blood and internal organs covered the entire ground. Such a miserable and terrible scene, if her guards were not watching, she would have been unable to help vomiting.
"Your Highness, there is still movement above!" A guard reminded. Irina resisted the urge to vomit and heard the metal striking and screams above. The battle was not over yet, and the rest were on the tower. She was not too late.
She went up the spiral steps of the tower. She could see the killed corpse every few steps. It was obvious that one side fought and retreated, while the other side pursued him relentlessly. How many people did Ashu Rufate bring? He actually attacked another noble under her nose publicly? It was really unforgivable...
The end of the spiral staircase was right in front of me. Irina calmed down. She had to show the spirit of a queen! She walked in, and all the guards behind her were unsheathed and ready to fight at any time.
In the room on the top floor of the tower, Ashu Rufate was standing there, holding a sword in one hand and holding Ryan's neckline in the other, lifting his whole body up in the air. Ryan was still struggling with powerlessness, but the neckline tightly tied his neck, suffocating him and making his struggle more and more powerless. Along the way, Ruke lay in the corner with a desperate expression, moaning in pain. At this moment, he no longer had his usual demeanor, and even the small glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose were gone. Ruke covered his stomach with a huge wound there, and his internal organs were flowing out. This was a fatal and serious injury!
Ruk's pride of wisdom failed to save him. In the face of pure violence, he revealed his true fragile and useless nature.
"Stop! Ashu Rufate!" Irina mustered up all her courage and ordered loudly. "Let go of Ryan! I will order you in the name of the monarch, and let him go immediately!"
Ashu Rufate slowly turned his head, and his blood-red eyes looked at Irina fiercely. Irina suddenly realized that her courage was far less than expected. She took a step back and touched the guard's cold armor on her back. For some reason, when she saw Ashu Rufate, everyone instinctively realized something- Ashu Rufate was alone, and he killed everyone here alone.
"I know you suspect Ryan, but your approach is not allowed! He should be tried, not lynching like you!" Irina said while fighting the fear in her heart.
"This is the trial. I am the plaintiff, judge, witness and executioner!" Ashrufate's voice clearly revealed his heart, and no dagger is sharper than hatred. "The crime is for betrayal and murder of selfish desires, and the sentence is death penalty!"
Ashu Rufate's eyes remained on Ryan's neck. Due to the suffocation, Ryan's struggle was getting weaker and weaker. His throat was tightened, and the cyan blood vessels bulged high. This color suddenly made Ashu Rufate's heart move.
His mouth was approaching Ryan's neck, and his sharp teeth violently tore open the fragile skin and cartilage. Blood, warm, sweet and intoxicating blood, accompanied by vitality, poured into his mouth.
When he dropped the corpse in his hand and turned his head, red liquid dripped from the corner of his mouth that was protruding from his fangs. The armor on his body had deformed at some point. It was a strange and evil shape, a red-looking red like blood, and the dark and unclean aura wrapped around the armor.
"Vampire!" Luke let out a cry like the end of the world. Perhaps for him, the end of the world has really come. The screams rushed into everyone's ears like dust wrapped in the wind.
Ash Rufat stared at Irina, trembling with blood-red eyes.
"I am no longer your knight! You are not worthy of being my monarch!" He said word by word. Then he walked towards the spiral stairs with his long sword and passed by Irina. Irina's guards were shocked by this terrifying scene, and made way out of the way with a high alert, watching his back disappear at the spiral stairs.
...
Ashu Rufate stopped.
He stood on a small hill outside the town. It was already late at night, and a town like Berleon had already been silent, everyone was immersed in their dreams, and the streets were empty.
He still remembered the situation where Thomas organized troops here. At that time, the elderly, weak, women and children were evacuated and the town became a large-scale military camp. More than a year passed, the original military camp had long disappeared, and replaced by simple huts. Thomas was lying in the soil forever.
"I'm sorry, General Thomas, I've concealed my true identity." Ashu Rufate whispered to the night sky and apologized to Thomas. If Thomas had a spirit in heaven, he should be able to hear his apology.
"Carrie, am I a vampire now?" he asked in his mind. He still remembered the smell of blood just now, the smell of fishy and disgusting blood, somehow becoming so sweet.
"Yes, master, you have completed the transformation excellently. The speed is far faster than I originally estimated, and I am worthy of being my master." Carrie said in a very happy tone.
"I can feel that the horse is still there," Carrie continued. "Summon it, so that we can ride away."
It is still there. Ashu Rufate sighed and thought that he had come here like this, and now he also wants to leave alone.
Everything is like a dream, only those who have passed away in the dream are so real and so sad.
"Master, magical energy reaction!" Carrie suddenly warned. Ashu Rufate turned around suddenly, but saw a familiar figure approaching a very close place to him. The uninvited guest was wearing a light blue sleeveless gauze robe with only a white strap on his waist. Under the moonlight, her naked face and arms looked as white as snow.
