Come to another world and become a lord

Chapter 67 Quelling the Rebellion

From within the city walls came the sounds of shouting and swords clashing.

"Open the city gate immediately. Didn't you see? This is your lord, Selena!" Carl shouted again.

However, everyone was indifferent. Carl understood again that after all, these people were just a group of farmers. To them, loyalty was not as important as their own lives. They would help whoever wins.

Until the shouting and killing in the city gradually weakened and stopped, then suddenly William's terrified cry was heard:

"This, this is impossible? Are you a monster?"

Then, Alia's voice came: "I have fought all nine knights. Do you think these six losers under your command can stop me?"

His tone was unusually soft, and he seemed quite at ease.

Karl was silent for a moment. At the same time, the group of local guards on the city wall were stunned and silent for a short while. Suddenly, someone shouted:

"Kill the traitor William!"

Then everyone started shouting:

"Kill the traitor William!"

The sound was deafening, and Carl looked at the guards with a little contempt. At the same time, the city gate was slowly opened, and Alia walked out covered in blood. Such a scene made Carl feel heartbroken. What kind of fierce battle could result in so much blood on her body? But soon, when he saw the bodies of the guards, he was relieved again.

Almost none of these bodies were intact. Some had their heads chopped off, some had their hands and feet cut off, and some were even cut in half. He finally understood why there was so much blood on the girl's body. It was indeed a fierce battle, but the blood was not hers, but from the guards.

Then he saw Alia yawn and say:

"This guy William brought too few people. They are not enough to fight."

The battle was over, and no one left would help William. He was Henry's murderer and a traitor to Greyburg. He was already hated by everyone. He had temporarily maintained his rule by force, but now he had lost all his subordinates.

On one side was Selina, the legitimate lord of Greyburg, and Alia, who was like a monster, plus a whole army of Fire Rose Guards. On the other side was William, the only one left, who was already scared out of his wits. Anyone with a little bit of brains knew who to help. If someone really stood up to help William at this time, Carl would just want to say: Boy, you really were a eunuch in 12 and joined the National Army in 49.

In fact, before Selena could even open her mouth, the local guards had already rushed forward and captured him.

Afterwards, they rescued the remaining knights from the dungeon. Upon learning that two knights had died in the coup, Carl showed a look of regret. After all, these people were the men who had fought against the Khan with him, especially the old knight named Lauren. If he had not risked his life to save her at the critical moment, Selena would never have been able to escape.

The tied William no longer had the ruthlessness he had before, and instead looked like he was begging:

"Cousin, cousin, please spare my life for all the years we've been together." He cried, "I had no choice. If my uncle hadn't wanted to marry you to this serf, I would never have done such a thing!"

"So, just because of this, you want to kill your father?" Selena's tone became excited when she said this.

"No, it's not me~" At this time, William shook his head desperately to defend himself.

"Didn't you stab him with that sword?" Carl asked from the side.

"It's me, but it's not me!" He continued to defend himself in panic.

This series of contradictory words made people around him confused.

After a while, I heard him say again:

"At that time, my uncle had already drunk Morton's poisoned wine and was dead! I just couldn't bear to see him continue to suffer..."

Morton, it's him again. Of course, Carl had already thought of it. The people William brought were all guards of Candle Castle. It would be strange if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Finally, after a detailed interrogation, they found out that they had instigated William to rebel long ago. At the banquet, he, Morton, and a baron named Snow carried out the murder together, using the poison prepared by Aeron.

Selena looked at William, who was kneeling on the ground and begging, with both pity and hatred in her eyes. In the end, she made up her mind and gave a cold order:

"Hang the traitor William and hang him on the city gate!"

William was then sent to the gallows amidst his constant pleading and screaming.

After a night of turmoil, the coup came to an end with his death.

With the crowing of a cock and the gradually brightening of the sky, Iren's troops suddenly appeared at the end of the horizon and approached Greyburg. After reaching a certain distance, they saw William hanging at the city gate, his tongue sticking out and his eyes bulging out. He had been dead for a long time, and his body swayed back and forth in the breeze.

"Are we too late?" Iren sighed. He was not surprised, especially when he saw Karl standing on the city wall. In his opinion, William's death was an inevitable result.

Now that William was dead, he had no choice but to change his strategy. He looked up at the top of the city wall and shouted:

"Miss Selena, I heard about the incident at Greyburg. Lord Morton sent me here to check it out. Lord Morton expressed his deepest regret for Lord Henry's death..."

Selena looked coldly at Iren below the city. After watching for a long time, she changed her usual timidity and suddenly shouted loudly and loudly:

"Tell Morton to stop pretending...From today on, the Grete family will no longer serve the Morgan family!"

"Miss, please be careful with your words. Such remarks can be regarded as betrayal!" Iren reminded.

But what he got in return was a sneer from Selena:

"You are right, it is indeed a betrayal. My father was loyal, but Morton betrayed him! Such a person is not worthy of being the lord of the Grete family!"

"Miss Selena, what you said just now has already provoked a war. Lord Morton will not tolerate such betrayal!" Iren said again.

"Then let him come, I will avenge my father myself!"

Selena suddenly drew the sword from her waist while speaking. This action really shocked Aeron. He knew Henry's daughter a little bit, and the most common impression he had of her was that she was shy and afraid of strangers. But now her aura had completely changed, as if she had become a different person.

At this moment, Carl also shouted:

"Eren, go tell Morton that Lord Reik is on the side of Graven Valley."

Aeron stopped talking. He looked at Selena with a determined face, then at Carl and Alia. Finally, he turned his horse around and led the team back the same way.

After the troop completely disappeared from sight, Carl patted Selena on the shoulder:

"You did a great job. You didn't dishonor your father. He would be proud of you."

At this moment, Selena seemed to have lost all her strength. She sat down on the ground and burst into tears. After holding on for so long, the suppressed emotions finally burst out all at once. She could no longer stop her tears, and her crying almost resounded throughout the entire castle.
