Chapter 362: Awakening
When Modred died, the dark mist vanished.
When Aileen rushed into the duke’s mansion, the magic circle also stopped.
At that moment, the people awakened.
"What happened?"
"I don’t know, why am I here?"
"I was just with my wife… oh no, I’m not wearing any clothes!"
"Dad, wake up, Dad!"
A little girl saw her father turn into a dry corpse. Her pretty face turned pale, and she dashed in front of her father, shaking him wildly.
"Bob… isn’t that the owner of the card shop? How did he die?"
"But… I still owe him five hundred Forged Coins!"
"What a big Murloc!"
"Hey, hey, hey? Don’t grab me…"
The person was pulled off by a Murloc and placed in front.
"How did I end up on the Murloc?"
"Is this a monster or a minion?"
Some people tried to get past the Murloc to go to the dark mist and meet their fate.
Now they are awake, each one looking very confused.
Not just the ordinary people, but the Professionals behind them were also shocked.
They are not ordinary people; how did they unknowingly arrive here? What is happening?
"Wait, what are those soldiers doing?"
One Professional saw a group of soldiers bringing some outsiders to a catapult and looked puzzled.
"Duke Benson wants to kill you!"
At that moment, Merlin stepped forward, "Something big just happened; Duke Benson is connected to a cult and is trying to create a Death Knight!"
"You all are the food for the Death Knights!"
"Now, that Death Knight is dead, and you are safe!"
"My lord Duke? That cannot be true…" a shop owner said with a confused look, "I pay taxes and protection money every month…"
"Those are indeed soldiers of the Empire!"
At that moment, Celica appeared beside Merlin.
Finally, something else happened that took her away from that whirlpool.
"Listen!" Celica looked around, "Just now, you all experienced a great disaster!"
"In the name of Red Bishop Celica, I confirm that the Church of Dawn Goddess Red Bishop Ricardo has betrayed the faith and turned to worship the evil god Lich King. He and Duke Benson are together; both have become followers of the evil god!"
"Those soldiers, the evil god you summoned is now dead. Please stop your foolish actions and wait for the Empire’s judgment."
"Otherwise…"
Celica drew out Sisigou, a fierce look on her face, "I will purify you myself!"
The soldiers were stunned when they saw the dark mist disappear.
Their orders were simple: capture people and throw them into the black mist.
With the black mist gone, where do we throw them?
Many soldiers truly listened to Benson, while others looked confused, as if they were dreaming.
It was clear that they were all affected by the magic circle.
They were soldiers, but they were also human. The residents of Laria had their own family members, and they couldn’t just watch their loved ones die because of Benson’s words.
Now that Celica spoke up, they looked at each other and decisively dropped their weapons.
"Damn it…"
"My father has died, and I will go to the duke to seek an explanation!"
"How can they kill someone?"
"Our duke believes in an evil god?"
"Did the Church of the Dawn Goddess declare a heretic?"
For a moment, the people could not understand.
The country and the church, these were the things they trusted the most…
Well, the people of Laria did not really trust their country, after all, the taxes were very high, and there were often people collecting protection money, making the people’s happiness very low.
Those who lost loved ones were already in great sorrow, and now knowing who was responsible for their loved ones’ deaths, their anger overcame their sadness.
"I want to go and demand an explanation for my father’s death!"
"Damn it, my fiancée, we are getting married in two days, that awful duke!"
Normal people do not dare to resist someone like the duke; even if they know he does bad things, they can only talk quietly behind his back.
But now, the situation is different; there are too many people present, which gives them enough courage.
One reason is that some have lost family members, and even the most fearful can find the courage to resist; that is why uprisings always exist.
Another reason is that the soldiers have laid down their weapons; the soldiers have surrendered, so what do they have to fear?
Also, Celica has already declared that Benson is a monster; the evil god is dead, and justice has triumphed over evil.
"Master Celica, please help us! I am a follower of the Dawn, not from Laria…" a young man cried out, "I watched helplessly as they threw my grandfather into the black fog with a catapult…"
"Master Celica, you must bring that demon Benson to justice!"
"Master Celica…"
"Okay, I will go with you to Duke’s mansion. Everyone, come along! I want to see just how cruel this Benson is to treat his people like this!" Celica also needs some time to recover.
She is fierce and fearless in battle, but she is not foolish; her magic has not recovered much at this time.
……
A few hours later.
"Benson, come out and face your doom!"
"Benson, give my grandfather’s life back!"
"Benson, aren’t you afraid of Bob’s vengeful spirit coming for you?"
"Benson, I want to duel with you!"
The crowd was bustling along the streets of Laria, with many soldiers joining the march, shouting and angrily heading towards Duke’s mansion.
During this time, they did not encounter any obstacles.
Celica carried Sisigou and walked ahead of everyone.
"By the way, why are there so many soldiers’ bodies on the street…"
"I don’t know, maybe there’s been a fight?"
"Is someone attacking the duke’s mansion?"
The streets were filled with soldiers killed by Aileen, and blood covered the streets of Laria.
Just as they reached the entrance of the duke’s mansion, a shocking scene occurred.
There was not a single living soldier at the duke’s mansion.
Bright red blood flowed out of the duke’s mansion like a small river.
Suddenly, a young girl walked out of the duke’s mansion, holding Benson’s head.
She was covered in blood, looking like she had come straight from hell.
In her eyes, there was confusion and sadness…
Aileen’s heart and mind were all tangled up.
Although Benson did wrong and betrayed the spirit of a knight, his intention was truly for Knight King…
This head was not taken by her; it was caused by Benson’s own actions.
"Benson’s head?"
"Does that mean… Duke Benson is dead?"
"Who is that girl?"
"Isn’t that Aileen from the Knight Tournament?"
"Yes, it’s her! I know her!"
"That sword… looks a bit familiar?"
"It’s mentioned in the textbook, Sword in the Stone?"
"In the name of Princess Aileen of the Empire!" Aileen slowly raised Duke Benson’s head, "Duke Benson, you are defeated!"
