Knight Lords: Infinite Simulation and the Path of Light

Chapter 20 Rotten Flesh (Please continue reading)

Neither of them responded to Aurelion's words; instead, they quickly changed the subject.

After three rounds of wine, five tastes of food

The banquet ended early when Count Morrie announced he was unwell, and everyone left.

Haven also planned to go back to his bedroom to rest; the leader of the Dawnguard seemed to be insane.

Even though his father and Earl Morley had already returned, they still kept rambling on and on.

Surprisingly, this guy who calls himself the Enforcer of Eternal Flame has a wealth of knowledge.

Even some policies and methods from his past life that Haven casually mentioned.

After careful consideration, they can also deliver a profound and insightful statement.

'Ha~~~~'

She yawned widely, wiped away her tears, and headed to her bedroom.

That charlatan~
It's so annoying. They keep saying all sorts of nonsense. Don't they know that to solve a problem, you need to find the right person?

I'm just a little karaomi, what's the point of telling me all that?

"Young Master Haven~ Young Master Haven~ Please wait a moment!"

Hearing someone call his name, he turned around and saw that it was one of his father's guards rushing over from behind.

"What's wrong, Jess?"

"The Earl requests your presence in his study."

"Hmm? Now?"

Jess nodded in response.

"Did they say what happened? Wasn't Earl Morrie unwell and Father took him to rest?"

"I don't know that the Earl only instructed me to find you and inform you to go to his study."

"okay, I get it"

Outside Whiterun - Dawnguard Camp
Aurelion was in a very good mood after returning from the banquet hall.

He even hummed a liturgical tune along the way, a stark contrast to the Templar Knights following behind with their stern faces the entire time.

As they approached the camp gate, a knight clad in mithril armor greeted them.

"Lord Aurelion, the Light Sentinels who went out to scout have returned."

"Alright, Van der Sar~ You've done your job. Summon all the captains to the central camp. I have something to announce."

Looking back at the massive White City under the night sky, he waved towards the banquet hall, as if greeting someone.

ten minutes later

The squad leaders stood quietly in the tent watching Aurelion, who was deep in thought, holding the intelligence brought back by the sentries.

A few minutes later, Aurelion stood up and walked towards the map hanging to the side.
"Sorry for keeping you all waiting. I'd like to announce our upcoming schedule."
We'll depart early tomorrow morning for Ugalama.

Upon hearing Aurelion's decision to leave Whiterun the next day, the Templar Knight standing on the left quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.

"My lord, Bishop Kanra's idea is that we should take this opportunity to establish ourselves in two or three territories in the north..."

If we leave tomorrow and head to Ugarama, by the time we finish our investigation, those lords will probably have already recovered some of their strength.

"Please, sir..."

Before the Templar could finish speaking, Aurelion patted him on the shoulder.

“I know, Salen. Just do as I say. Staying here is just a waste of time.”

Hearing that Aurelion still insisted on leaving tomorrow morning, High Knight Salen became a little anxious and said again...
"Please reconsider, my lord. Bishop Kanra has instructed us to cherish this opportunity, as the North is currently in a weakened state..."

"enough!"

With a furious roar, Aurelion's amber eyes flashed with a blinding light, as a phantom image of a human face and a sun appeared behind him.

Everyone present knelt down, and the High Knight of Salen, who was under Aurelion's gaze, lay on the ground with both hands and feet on the ground.

"Since Lord Salen has such a good idea, then how about this Dawnguard be placed under your command? What do you think?" Salen, who was lying on the ground, was under immense pressure, and sweat dripped down his forehead like raindrops.

"My lord! Lord Aurelion!"

This humble servant dares not...
Please forgive my foolishness just now, sir.

As the phantom image of the sun with a human face behind them disappeared, the oppressive force that had made everyone breathless also vanished.

Aurelion returned to his signature smile that made anyone feel comfortable.

He reached out and helped the Great Knight Salen up from the ground, patting him affectionately on the shoulder.

"Then everyone, go and prepare. We'll leave Whiterun at dawn tomorrow."

As for our goal of missionary work in the North, we will eventually achieve it, as an interesting little boy told me today.

Appropriately avoiding immediate obstacles and then taking the lead is also a way to achieve your goals.

Oh, by the way, he seems to call this 'Tai Chi'.

"As ordered!"

With his men gone, Aurelion was left alone in the large tent, leaning back in his chair and falling into deep thought once more.

'Ha~~~~'
Haven opened the study door, yawning repeatedly.

Besides Earl Hyland and Earl Morley, there were seven or eight other nobles at the banquet.

Seeing his son arrive, Earl Hyland waved to Haven, gesturing for him to sit down.

After sitting down, I looked around at the people.

'Viscount Fortmarin of Sinlun, Viscount Hammer of Helidarens, Baron Zeli of Kudjema, ...'

There were also several soldiers covered in blood. What's going on here?
"Soldier, you can now recount what you saw again."

"Yes, my lord!"

The soldier standing on the left stepped forward.

"Reporting to my esteemed lords."

I am Ai Shang, the captain of the 27th Cavalry Reconnaissance Team under the 8th Regiment of Hailanling.

Yesterday, I was ordered to investigate the Kudeyema region. My team encountered a small number of ghouls while passing through the village of Samia.

The team chose to detour to Cooperia Castle, but many ghouls were roaming the outskirts five kilometers from Cooperia Castle.

After suffering some casualties, the team successfully approached.

However, when they were only 500 meters away from the castle, they were forced back by a large number of ghouls that surged out of the city.

After a fierce battle, only I and three other soldiers managed to escape.

As the soldier explained, the nobles sitting to the side gasped in surprise.

Immediately afterwards, the second soldier came out and began explaining the intelligence, followed by the third, fourth, and so on.

As the last soldier finished speaking, the entire study fell silent. At Earl Hylan's wave, the soldiers left the study.

As soon as the soldiers left, the entire conference room instantly transformed into a noisy market.

'Snap~ Snap~ Snap~'

With several loud slams on the table, the previously noisy nobles quieted down.

He turned to look at Count Mori, who had stood up.

"What good will all this arguing do?"

Seeing the angry Earl Morrie, the nobles returned to their seats.

"Lord Mori, what should we do now?"
"We had originally planned to return to our respective territories tomorrow to rebuild our homes, but now..."
