Chapter five hundred and fortieth reveals the truth
In the big tent, everyone looked at the vampire baron who appeared. Fedmund showed disgust on his face, Gerald looked confused, Morgiana was quick to kill, and Teresa looked indifferent and cold.
But everyone held their weapons, remained silent, and turned their attention to Ryan.
"Do you think I will be willing to believe you?" Ryan sneered: "How can I believe a vampire's words? You want to surrender to me? You don't want to see if you have the qualifications to surrender?!"
The vampire baron lowered his head and made a respectful gesture: "I will surrender to you for four reasons. Please listen to me. Your Excellency Ryan Macado, if you are not satisfied after listening, you can directly take action."
"What if I don't want to listen?" Ryan said in a longer tone: "The vampires of the Von Carstein family have betrayal and cunning lies in their bones. Everything you tell may be lies."
"I can swear to Vlad, the blood ancestor of the Von Carstein family, that what I tell is the truth." Vampire Baron Hal Harris watched helplessly as Ryan drew out the Nemesis, the artifact sword burning with flames.
The silver flame releases huge energy.
This sword strike was enough to kill Hal Harris, and he very much doubted whether he could be resurrected.
The life of a vampire is not only eternal, but it can also be resurrected repeatedly, but resurrection is not casual. Vampires have to pay a high price for resurrection, and if they encounter some particularly powerful enemies or weapons, even the immortal undead cannot.
resurrection.
Only Vlad von Carstein can be resurrected indefinitely by relying on the artifact Carstein Ring. Therefore, when the Vampire War finally laid siege to Braunschweig, the Empire faced Vlad who could be resurrected no matter how many times he was killed.
Feeling hopeless.
However, in the end, Archbishop Wilhelm III consulted the classics and discovered the secret of Vlad's infinite resurrection. He hired the most powerful thief in the slums to sneak into the vampire army camp and steal Vlad's ring. He never considered that if the ring was gone,
What to do? Vlad, the first vampire count, threw himself into the street and has been dead for hundreds of years.
"Manfred said the same thing." Ryan sneered.
Hal Harris's face changed slightly, and he immediately cursed Manfred, a bastard and traitor in his heart. He once had the idea of going to Manfred, but the vampire baron quickly rejected this idea.
, first of all, he is not a direct blood descendant of Manfred, and moreover, Bald Man might send him to death at any time.
"The feeling of betrayal is like breathing."
The Last Vampire Count Manfred von Carstein
"I will tell you everything I know." Hal Harris whispered: "Sir, you must also want to know what happened in Richard's Castle when you were fighting the Tzeentch Demonic Army, right?"
The atmosphere in the tent changed. Ryan frowned. He thought for a moment and then put away the Nemesis: "That's all. Let's talk about it."
"First of all, you are powerful, Mr. Ryan. Even if you are undead, we respect the strong." Hal Harris' hoarse voice contained some inexplicable meaning: "Secondly, Chaos is our common enemy, and I cannot tolerate it.
Our leader actually bowed to Chaos. The war between the undead and humans is one thing, but the existence of Chaos just wants to destroy everything."
After saying that, Hal Harris suddenly laughed, and he whispered: "Third, I can tell you everything I know, including the war in Richard's Castle, including the secret of Mathhubard's life experience, including the Lich King
Arkhan's order, and... Mahhubard's deal with Chaos, how he made the deal with Tzeentch, and what Tzeentch's goal is."
After hearing this, Ryan shook his head indifferently and said coldly: "If this is all you have, then death is still waiting for you. I have already sent rangers to the north to investigate these situations. There is nothing wrong with the Lich King Arkhan's plan.
He just plans to resurrect the Lord of the Undead. As for Mathurbade’s life experience, I’m not interested. This man has been causing trouble to Britannia for many years, and it’s time to deal with him.”
"Hurry up and tell me the fourth point, otherwise I will take action!"
Hal Harris knew that Ryan was not pretending to be a threat but really wanted to kill him. He quickly said: "The fourth point is that I stole the crown of the Duke of Mousilon from the Mousilon Castle! If you accept
My surrender, I will give it to you!"
The vampire baron's words made everyone in the tent open their mouths.
This vampire baron of the Von Carstein family is too young, right?!
Has this guy even thought of a way out?
"...I really don't know how to evaluate your behavior." Ryan felt speechless after hearing this. He and Morgiana looked at each other.
The Lake God Witch immediately nodded, implying that she could identify the authenticity.
"Okay, you convinced me." Ryan finally nodded helplessly. He was not a person who didn't know how to compromise: "Then, tell me, what do you want to get? Undead? You betrayed your master. What do you want from him?
What does the Lady of the Lake’s Chosen Champion get here?”
"free!"
"……make a deal!"
The vampire baron glanced around the tent, showing hesitation, and then gestured to Ryan with his eyes.
"If you have anything to tell me, is it possible that the Carstein family is up to some conspiracy again?" Ryan glared at the vampire baron with sharp eyes: "I don't have any secrets that I can't hide from others."
Although he hit a soft nail, Hal Harris breathed a sigh of relief when Ryan finally agreed. The vampire told Ryan and others a series of things that happened in Richard Castle.
Even though they were mentally prepared, Ryan and others were still shocked by this shocking fact.
Shocking news comes one after another.
"The northern knightly army was almost completely destroyed? Only Kalad and Duke Hagen successfully broke through with more than 900 knights and less than 3,000 imperial troops? In addition, only more than a hundred knights fled north?
!”
"Laun was seriously injured and rescued by his hippogryph? His whereabouts are unknown?!"
"Both Duke Aldreeld and Duke Fourcade were transformed into vampires?!"
Everyone present was frightened and speechless by this shocking news. Fedmund opened his mouth for a long time and could not say a word. Jerod looked around subconsciously. The paladin had already
Somewhat confused, he subconsciously wanted to discuss it with Francois.
"Madam, please!" Morgiana's face changed completely, and the Lake God Witch said angrily: "No wonder there has been no news from Richard's Castle, so this happened?!"
The amount of information in this matter was a bit large, and even Ryan took a lot of time to digest it. He paced anxiously in the big tent, showing his displeasure: "Damn it! If so, wouldn't Mathubad be able to do it?
Go straight north via Lyonnaise to attack Curona?"
"Feedmund! Jerod!" Ryan immediately issued an order: "Go and check the status of the Holy Grail Knights and Kingdom Knights. The defeat of the Northern Knights' army must not be leaked! Any rumors must be cleared up immediately!
"
"Yes!" Fedmund and Jerrod stood up immediately, both realizing the seriousness of the problem.
"I'll go take a look at the sergeant's camp." Teresa also said. The sorceress had never seen such a big battle. She smartly realized something and got up and left.
Morgiana and Ryan were the only two people left in the big tent. The Lake God Witch's face turned green and white. Thinking of the great losses of the Northern Knights' army, Morgiana felt a huge anger impacting her.
On the chest, the hand holding the potion Holy Grail turned white: "Tell me, tell me everything you know. How did you know that the great demon Tzeentch and Mathurbard colluded? Tell me everything!"
"That day, those chivalrous patients in the north... I mean the large number of refugees sheltered by the knights led by Raun rioted." Hal Harris was still bound by the branches and thorns created by Morgiana's life magic.
The vampire baron had no intention of breaking free. He continued: "At that time, I discovered that this group of refugees had been corrupted by Chaos. From then on, I suspected that Mathubad had reached a deal with Chaos."
"Then I eavesdropped on the conversation between Mahhubard and the Demon of Tzeentch!" Hal Harris' face showed hatred: "He actually surrendered to the Demon Army of Tzeentch. What he did went beyond
I have reached my bottom line as a vampire! I will no longer be his subordinate, I must destroy this scum!"
"But you couldn't do it, so you thought of Ryan?" Morgiana's green eyes were full of murderous intent. She stamped her feet irritably, wishing to kill this young vampire quickly.
She barely suppressed her anger.
The vampire was right in some respects. For the time being, Chaos was their common enemy: "What happened to the relic?"
"The purpose of Tzeentch coming to the mortal world is to collect holy objects." Hal Harris moved his head away and told the truth he had overheard: "This is the order of the Chaos God. The Lord of Destiny wants to
Get the crown of Duke Mousilon and the lances of the twelve Holy Grail Knights who founded the country!"
"Sacred object? Duke's crown! Lance?" When Ryan heard the news about Hal Harris, he suddenly realized something and quickly said to Morgiana: "Oh no, if what this vampire said is true, then Artois
Duke Zilfroy's lance has fallen into the hands of Tzeentch!"
After Zilfroy was defeated, his lance was kept in the castle of the Spire Palace. Due to the hasty retreat and the death of the two kingdom knights responsible for guarding the lance, this holy relic was buried among the ruins.
Down.
At that time, because the coalition forces were defeated by the Tzeentch demonic army, they retreated in a hurry. Lane, who was outside the city, only learned that the two kingdom knights guarding the wild boar lances were killed and the holy relics were lost only after retreating to the camp in Sharon Forest.
"Each holy relic can increase the power of Tzeentch." Hal Harris issued a cold warning: "When Tzeentch collects the eighth holy relic, there will no longer be anyone here who can fight with him.
The people it fights against.”
"The lance of Duke Leonese and the lance of Duke Montfort have been obtained by the Great Demon Tzeentch. Now the Great Demon Tzeentch has collected three artifacts, and Raun's Lion Lance is still in Mashuba.
In the hands of De, Mathubard was unwilling to hand over the Lion Lance to the Great Demon of Tzeentch, because he felt that it belonged to him." The figure of the vampire baron seemed to be saying something that had nothing to do with him:
"But it's only a matter of time before Mahhubard wavers. He has already been corrupted."
"Things that belong to him? Trophies?!" Ryan asked next.
"No, it's not a trophy." Hal Harris suddenly raised his head: "It's an inheritance! Mahhubard believes that he has the legal inheritance rights to everything in Laun, including his title of duke, including his title of regent of the kingdom.
Naturally, including his lion lance."
"Inherit the inheritance?" Ryan finally lost his voice. The chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake immediately realized a possibility: "Could it be said!?"
Mahhubard's original family crest, his extremely handsome face, and his hatred for this country.
"Yes, that's what I want to tell you." Hal Harris nodded heavily. The expression on the vampire's face was indescribably complicated, with hatred, amusement, and a trace of inexplicable confusion.
Excited: "Mahubard is the illegitimate son of Raun and a serf maid!"
"The child was born in the holiday villa of the Duke of Connet's family to Lawn and the laundry maid named Adjani. But when the child grew up, Lawn's father, Louis-Integrity
The reporter discovered the illegitimate son, and he ordered Lauren to drive the bastard out of the villa. A fierce quarrel broke out between Lauren and Louis. Both father and son blamed each other. Louis believed that Lauren had not taken care of himself and was unworthy of the lady's teachings.
Lawn was fiercely opposed to abandoning the child."
"In the end, Louis, who was the Duke at the time, won. The child was abandoned in the wilderness and the child was taken away. The maid died of a serious illness in just two years in sorrow and melancholy. She was still cursing Labor for the time being.
Grace is unbelievable."
"The Lich King Arkhan, who witnessed everything, adopted the child and named him Mathurbard." Hal Harris sneered: "This is the key to Arkhan's plan to subvert Britannia.
One Ring, now that I have told you everything, Sir Lane, do you believe my sincerity? The secret evidence that Mahhubard is Lawn's illegitimate son is conclusive and undeniable."
"Damn it! I'm going to excommunicate Lawn!" Morgiana was extremely angry after hearing this. She really couldn't imagine that as one of the champions of the Fairy of the Lake, Lawn actually gave birth to such an evil creature. Not only
To subvert the Kingdom of Knights, Morgiana was almost sacrificed to Nagash!
"Go on, Mr. Hal Harris!" Ryan signaled Morgiana to calm down, and his attitude changed slightly: "Please go on, Mr. Hal Harris, what else do you know?"
"Landuin's lance and the Indestructible Lake are placed in Landuin's cemetery." Hal Harris's face gradually became serious and crazy: "You don't have much time."
"The Great Daemon of Tzeentch must be prevented from getting it!"
…………I am the dividing line with filial sons……
After sealing the vampire baron and coming out of the big tent, Morgiana was still angry. Feeling the cold wind of the night, the Lake God Witch said to Ryan: "How much truth do you think this vampire told?"
"Most of it." Ryan nodded: "At least most of it is true, because it is consistent with our speculation and there are various signs, and the other is no longer important. The current focus is that we must prevent Chaos from obtaining the twelve holy pieces.
Things!"
"We have no troops to mobilize now." Morgiana was also very anxious about this: "Francois and Birhemond's reinforcements are on the way, and the north has been severely weakened and it is almost impossible to mobilize troops. Pala
Both Ong and Carcassonne have to defend their borders, and the empire is too far away for them to catch up."
"No, there is another supporting army." Ryan shook his head violently, his blue eyes constantly spinning spiritual energy: "In this country, we still have an army that can help us..."
Just as Morgiana was about to ask if there were any reinforcements, the young Sun Knight Juan came running from a distance: "Your Excellency Ryan! Your Highness Morgiana!"
"Count Kalad and the imperial army have arrived at the banks of the Graysmoray River and are preparing to cross the river to join us!"
