The First Vampire-Chapter 495 - : 493 Blood Night_1
Chapter 495: 493 Blood Night_1
Hiss!
A stream of blood-red light shot up into the sky and exploded in the air over White Dew City in a blink of an eye.
The blood-red mist spread out like ripples in water, startling every person in the city who gazed up at this fascinating sight.
……
Inside White Dew Fortress.
Prince Harrison, who was stunned by the strange phenomenon in the sky, was finally out of his indecisiveness. His originally clear eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of blood.
“Sir Warren, are you still refusing to follow the commands of knight Evan?”
“Your Royal Highness, Harrison, I have always held the utmost respect for you. But, please forgive my stubbornness.” Sir Warren, with one hand on his chest, slightly bows but speaks in a firm tone, “In my opinion, knight Evan is not qualified to be the lord of White Dew Fortress, not even temporarily!”
“If so…” Prince Harrison turned his head towards knight Evan, nodded, and gave him a cold glance.
Knight Evan smirked and waved his right hand downward.
Instantly, more than ten energetic figures rushed at Sir Warren who was surrounded in the middle!
“Kill!”
……
Inside White Dew City.
Viscount Bush stopped in his tracks, raising his head towards the blood-colored mist in the sky, his eyebrow gradually furrowing.
“Sir, this is the envoy sent from the frontline by the Pegasus Army.” The deputy officer led the envoy to Viscount Bush.
The envoy didn’t care about Viscount Bush’s distraction and just asked in a deep voice:
“Viscount, Commander Muffat sent me here to ask why you are mobilizing the army at midnight?”
Viscount Bush averted his gaze and said indifferently, “Tell Muffat that I am preparing to lead the army out of White Dew City and return to the family territory. Please let us pass.”
Shortly, the envoy brought back the message:
“Sir, Commander Muffat said that White Dew City is under strict control tonight and he ordered you to return to the city immediately with the army without any mobility.”
Viscount Bush looked at the Envoy silently without uttering a word.
Just when the envoy was puzzled, a silver light flashed before his eyes. A bout of severe pain shot through his chest, followed by boundless darkness.
Viscount Bush pulled his sword out of the envoy’s corpse, raising it high above his head. The thick blood continuously dripped down the sharp sword.
“My loyal warriors, the Pegasus Army has betrayed the eastern border and intends to wipe us out completely! Those who do not wish to die, follow me out of the city!”
“Kill!”
……
The North City Gate of White Dew City.
Count Nicoll watched the blood fog appearing in the sky and the rising smoke and fire in the city, his furrowed eyebrows finally relaxed, a smile returned on his lips.
“Count Evan, have you finally succeeded!”
With that, he no longer hesitated, briskly descended the city tower, reaching the frontlines of the battle.
Witnessing the smell of blood wafting in the air, Count Nicoll seemed to have regained his fighting spirit and courage from his youth. He drew his sword and held it high, shouting:
“Brothers, let’s storm into the city and rescue Count Evan Sanctus!”
“Kill!”
……
Outside White Dew City.
Knight Logh watched the bloody mist in the sky above White Dew City, appearing to be lost in thought.
The Deputy officer stepped forward to report:
“Sir, the Blood Knight Army is ready. When shall we enter the city?”
“No rush.” Knight Logh replied without turning his head.
The Deputy officer hesitated for a bit but continued to advise, “But, Count is still in the city, aren’t you worried that something might happen to him?”
Knight Logh shook his head, “But I haven’t received the command to enter the city yet.”
The Deputy officer immediately replied, “But if the Count is in danger, how can he pass the command in time?”
Knight Logh smiled mysteriously, “You don’t have to worry about that. The Count definitely has a way.”
The Deputy officer pursed his lips, stayed silent, and just stood quietly next to Knight Logh. He looked at the bloody fog in the sky over White Dew City, seemingly lost in thought.
Knight Logh squinted his eyes and suddenly murmured to himself:
“Tonight’s White Dew City is bound to be engulfed in blood!”
……
At this moment, White Dew City was indeed covered in a layer of blood.
The eastern land lords who were convinced by Count Evan suddenly attacked the Pegasus Army, throwing the entire city into chaos.
Since a fight was also taking place inside White Dew Fortress, there’s nobody to try and stabilize the situation in the city, which was slipping further and further into uncontrollable chaos.
The disorderly army allowed the fire of war to spread to every corner of the city, opening a Pandora’s box, thus exposing the darkest side that had long been hidden among the commoners.
Theft, arson, murder, rape… countess evils were taking place in White Dew City amidst the chaos, gradually turning the eastern region’s largest city into a living hell.
However, in this intertwined sea of blood and fire, there are still corners of peace.
In an abandoned warehouse in the western city, a group of mage apprentices was engrossed in drawing a huge magic array on the ground.
The turmoil and killings outside seemed to be shielded in another dimension, not affecting the area at all.
However, the people inside the warehouse had a clear view of what was happening outside.
A figure dressed in a red mage robe was gazing at the blood-colored fog in the sky of White Dew City.
His body was larger than the average person, but he had a severe hunchback, a rough face with high cheekbones, a crooked mouth, and unequal eye sizes. He could definitely scare people to tears if met at night.
However, this ugly red-robed mage was standing shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Ji, appearing to be quite intimate.
“Which family’s secret martial arts technique is this?” The red-robed mage suddenly asked.
“I don’t know.” Mr. Ji shook his head solemnly.
“Even you don’t know?” The red-robed mage gave a surprised glance at Mr. Ji and asked again, “Such power… It should be at the holy field level, right?”
“Not yet at the holy field… “Mr. Ji replied affirmatively this time. Soon after, he added, “But it is very close.”
“So, it must be a secret martial arts technique from a Holy Knight Family, right?”
“It should be.” Mr. Ji fell into deep thought, as if calculating in his mind which Holy Knight Family it belonged to.
In the Glorious Empire, there were only seven Holy Knight Families in total. But despite racking his brain, he couldn’t recall any family with a martial arts technique that could produce such an effect.
Driven by an intense curiosity, Mr. Ji instructed the red-robed mage, “You continue to set up, I will go and check the situation.”
The red-robed mage’s eyebrows furrowed as he attempted to dissuade him, “Are you sure you want to go? With such a big commotion, Prince Lexie will definitely check it out. If you run into him…”
Mr. Ji glanced back at the red-robed mage and said, “Don’t worry, I have a plan. I won’t mess up your affairs.”
Seeing Mr. Ji’s determined attitude, the red-robed mage could just reply:
“Alright then, be careful.”
