No, Philip would be that stupid.

Philips purpose was to bring about a casus beli - a situation that would cause a country to have a justifiable excuse to declare war - which was in progress while he was making his faction of garbage-level nobles. However, most nobles with brains know that this is a casus beli, so it's possible that Philip could  could be that stupid to attack a SK carriage in a desperate attempt to cut his losses. I can see him being manipulated into doing something similar... All other citizens of the Re-Estize kingdom are terrified, and not even Adamantite adventurers would try and make a move on the SK, especially if they aren't hurting anyone.

Honestly, it's going to have to be Philip or perhaps a Nazarick agent (similar to Jaldabaoth). This kind of sounds like something another country would do *cough* ST *cough*, but there's literally no benefit in any human-run country to propogate another massacre, or give the SK an excuse to take over the Kingdom.
