Come to another world and become a lord

Chapter 214 Mobilization

In the study of Rickburg, the air was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere. The sunlight from the window shone through the heavy curtains, casting mottled light and shadows on the messy documents and maps on the desk. The walls were covered with family emblems, symbolizing the glory and inheritance of the families in the North. However, today's gathering seemed unusually heavy, and everyone was anxious and uneasy.

Rhodes stood in front of the desk, his fists clenched, his face flushed, and he was furious.

"How could they do this! How could they do this to me! Don't they know who I am?" His voice echoed in the room, filled with indignation and dissatisfaction.

Alia sat aside, looking at him calmly, as if she was already used to this kind of thing. She just shook her head slightly:

"I believe they know it well, but they just don't care. The one who attacked you was Prime Minister Aaron."

"I'm going to sue them in front of His Majesty!" Rhodes said angrily, with fire almost spitting out of his eyes.

"It's no use." Alia continued to respond calmly, "You should know this better than me."

"Damn it!" Rhodes punched the table angrily.

At this time, Selena turned her head and looked at Parn, as if she was thinking about something, and then asked:

"What on earth have you encountered that you couldn't even hold on for a day?"

When Parn heard someone calling him, he immediately stood up straight, frowned, and put on the posture of a veteran who had been through many battles - at least that's what he thought, and then said:

"What they sent out weren't humans, but a group of monsters. If we hadn't run fast, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to save our lives."

He then began to talk about the situation at that time, telling how he discovered the problem at the beginning, and even encountered an attack from one of the people. In the end, he rode a horse and carried Rhode out of the siege alone to report. He described it vividly, and in his description, he was simply an omnipotent hero.

However, Carl was a little surprised after hearing this. This guy actually killed a person. In his impression, was Parn so powerful?

And Paan laughed without hesitation:

"Of course. No matter how powerful these monsters are, they can never be a match for Lord Parn. Hahaha~"

Everyone had no choice but to nod, but Karl believed that what he relied on was not strength, but luck.

However, Rhode, who was standing aside, suddenly said with emotion:

"Pahn, I owe you my life. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be finished."

His tone was full of gratitude.

"What are you talking about? We are good brothers." Paan laughed and patted the other on the back.

"Good brother!" Rhodes' eyes became slightly moist, and it was unclear whether he was moved or hurt by the slap.

Karl sat quietly behind the desk, staring at everyone, and then asked in a low voice:

"Tell me in detail what kind of monster you encountered."

"It's not entirely accurate to call them monsters." Parn rested his hand on his chin, thought for a moment, and said slowly, "On the surface, they are still human, but their strength and mental state are not right. They are beyond the scope of humans."

Alia covered her mouth in surprise and whispered, "Could it be..."

"Madness." Carl nodded, and then said, "I should have thought of it earlier. He was the one who interfered in the conflict between the Kingdom Army and the Crusaders. The mage named Casabelos."

He shook his head, and the brutal fight reappeared in his mind once again.

"Madness?" Selena asked. She had been guarding Rickburg at the time and had not experienced the battle in person. Although she had heard Carl and others mention it, she was still unfamiliar with the word.

But then I heard Carl add:

"Not only that, the series of strange things that happened before were probably caused by him. Remember the incident when Mia's guards suddenly went crazy and attacked citizens for no reason?"

Before he finished speaking, Yasha covered her mouth and screamed. She knew it best and remembered the coup d'état very clearly. Mia's guards suddenly began to slaughter innocent residents of Snow Rock City, arousing the anger of the citizens. Mia's uncle Gamond took the opportunity to lead the troops into the city and launched a coup d'état. For a while, he became the savior in the eyes of the citizens.

She couldn't figure out why the guards would do such a thing. She had personally selected the guards and trusted them. Even if Mia had issued an absurd order out of confusion, how could they have followed suit? Now everything made sense.

"The problem is that even a wizard can't do this." At this moment, the female wizard Amira, who had been sitting by the bed, suddenly spoke, looking a little confused.

"It doesn't matter how he did it." Carl replied, "The key is how we can stop him now. This is no longer an ordinary battle, so I need the strength of all of you."

He looked around at everyone, his eyes firm:

"Amira, I need you to join the battle. You don't need to hide your identity this time. I need the power of a mage."

The female mage nodded slightly, showing no hesitation.

"And Arya and Campbell," he continued, "if anyone can take on these monsters head-on, it's probably you two."

The two looked at each other, nodded firmly, and made a secret vow in their hearts.

"And Eleanor." Carl looked at the bishop of the church sitting next to him. "I don't know if divine magic can work on these guys, but at least we can try."

Eleanor smiled slightly, her voice gentle but firm: "I am willing to serve you, my lord."

"Of course there is another important person."

As Karl was speaking, the door of the study suddenly opened and the black knight Renette walked in. She was dressed in black armor and exuded a suffocating aura. When she walked, it seemed as if even the air froze.

"You called me?" Reinette's voice was low, as if coming from the abyss.

"Yes, this time I need you to join the battle as well, and do your best." Carl said without hesitation, his eyes sparkling.

Renette waved her hand and said in a teasing tone: "Okay~"

"Then everyone, get ready!" Karl gave the order, his voice sonorous and powerful, with the aura of a duke. Everyone responded and retreated to get busy.

At this time, Gareth walked out from the shadows of the study, his expression full of dissatisfaction. His eyes were flashing with anger, staring straight at Carl. "You said you needed everyone's strength, why did you leave me behind?" He questioned, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

But Carl replied:

"You are the Third Prince, only staying in Rickburg temporarily, and you are not my subordinate."

"Excuses!" Gareth interrupted him angrily, his voice high and excited, "You just don't want to use the power of the vampires. But you need us, and having us will make things easier!"

"I don't think so. I can handle this even without you."

"You are our king. How long are you going to refuse this power?" Gareth asked indignantly, like an enraged beast, his emotions agitated.

"That's not what you should be thinking about."

"You don't have to, but at least take me and the black sword with you, just in case." Gareth insisted, with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes.

Carl sighed, his eyes fell on Gareth again, and finally nodded.
