“Continue to search for the five-colored stone. If you can’t find it, don’t come back!” At this moment, Master Rohnor, who had been amiable for the past two days, said to George and the others.
Because of his arrogant personality, Captain Ryan felt that since he had agreed, he would need to complete this mission.
However, what they didn’t know was that stationed on a flat hill, the alliance army was neatly rehearsing. To integrate the elite slaves from different countries, slave owners from different countries had spent a lot of effort.
However, although the integration was difficult, the result was gratifying. The combat power of this army was abnormally strong.
Complete professions, powerful slaves, and invincible generals. Although there were only 50,000 people, in terms of combat power, they were superior to the 500,000 soldiers of the regular army. They had no weaknesses. They had long-range attacks, close combat, magic, and meat shields. They had everything they needed to recover, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were an army that could destroy a country.
And at this moment, they were only going to deal with a vampire. One could imagine how terrifying that vampire was.
According to the latest intelligence, the vampire was rushing toward the city behind the hill. He would arrive at the latest by the next day. The entire army was already prepared.
“By the way, how does the army have information about that vampire?”
“That vampire is extremely powerful, but it is not good at detection and anti-detection magic. So the Magic Union can roughly catch the vampire’s movement through detection magic.”
George and the others had just walked into the forest when they saw a large group of well-dressed soldiers guarding the entrance of the forest.
“Stop! What are you here for!” The soldier drew his sword and pointed at George and the others.
Captain Ryan walked forward and said to the soldier, “I’m the captain of the Knight Order in this city. I’m here to provide support!”
Hearing Ryan’s words, George also knew clearly, “This Ryan is pretty good. If they can take down the vampires with the army, they will have contributed.”
“Yes, Brother Soldier, we are here to help. Let us in quickly!” George said with a cheeky smile.
The soldier nodded thoughtfully and let them in.
After the group of people joined the military mission as reinforcements, they were led to an independent camp. The 100 soldiers gathered here were all adventurers.
This was not discrimination or segregation, but the adventurers’ fighting style was different from the soldiers. One was obedient, and the other was unrestrained. It was not suitable to forcefully unite the battle line. The best way was to fight separately.
After familiarizing himself with the surrounding crowd, he was not too conspicuous or rude. Although George thought so, Captain Ryan and Jessica who was behind George were a little eye-catching.
A dignified captain of the Knight Order would be the focus no matter where he was, and it was the same for a succubus like Jessica. It was difficult to ignore.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. After a leader of the army came to give a speech, everyone’s attention was diverted.
As for the content of the speech, it was all information that everyone knew. It was nothing more than some things to take note of and battle days. It was a long, passionate speech that included ideals, countries, and people.
However, the substance of the speech was not much. The patriots who were born and bred might be excited, but George did not feel much about it. After all, this was not his country.
Night fell and initially, everyone thought that it would be a peaceful night, but the crisis had arrived when everyone fell asleep.
A large group of red-dotted creatures stepped on the hill and arrived outside the army. The alarm sounded throughout the entire military camp, and everyone was woken up by it.
Although the mages in the army had predicted the vampire’s movements, what they did not know was that the true ancestor of vampires, Lu, had no intention of climbing the hill. All she wanted to do was to find her master.
The people of the Magic Union could detect Lu’s existence through magic, but Lu had only used her sight to discover the army a hundred miles away. She did not want to waste time or be obstructed, so before she got close to the hill, Lu summoned more than a thousand ugly blood-sucking monsters. There was no intelligence to speak of, and there was nothing else she wanted other than fresh blood.
As long as she met a living creature, she would pounce on it and bite it. Among all the kin of the true vampire ancestor, it was the one that inherited the most primitive impulse. When the soldiers and adventurers came to the border area of the military camp, they would see all kinds of ugly monsters. There were wolves, tigers, and lions. There were many types of monsters, and their eyes were flashing red.
Lu’s mission for them was to bite everyone to death.
There were more than a thousand vampire monsters, and each of them had the strength of a Rank B slave. The moment they rushed toward the military camp, the fierce battle could be predicted in advance.
Although there were sentinels and warning magic, these vampire monsters were moving too fast. The soldiers had just received the notice when the vampire monsters began to attack the defense net of the army.
They were not afraid of death at all. These vampire monsters would strengthen themselves by devouring the corpses of their companions. In a very short time, the defense net made by the mages at the periphery of the camp was broken through.
Moreover, these blood-sucking monsters had a terrifying ability. They could turn dead creatures into their comrades.
A thousand waves were stirred up.
When this news spread, the morale of the army was somewhat lax.
“The military camps have entered an emergency state. Prepare for battle!”
However, when the powerful soldiers entered the battlefield, the morale of the army was once again pulled back.
Setting up a defensive line, under the leadership of the Lord, the soldiers began to fight with the vampire monsters, sparks were flying everywhere.
“Could this vampire be a true ancestor-level, how could it summon so many of its kin?”
Looking at the battle on the front line, George was also very surprised. “Master, are we going to fight?” Jenny asked.
“Yes.”
“Oh, I’ll go and scratch these monsters to death.”
“Master, why are you pulling my tail?”
The beast-eared lady Jenny took a mouthful of dirt, her face was full of confusion.
“Why are you rushing towards them? These vampire monsters are contagious. If you were bitten, you would also become like them.”
“Ah? No, no, I don’t want to become so ugly.”
Jenny quickly shook her head and hid behind.
Looking at the battle at the front line, it was not that George did not want to help, but looking at the chaotic scene in front, the effect of them helping was too low. Even if they killed a few more monsters, it would not improve the overall situation, it might be more important to stay in place to protect the supply team at the back.
“Master, monsters are coming this way.”
Jessica reached her hand behind her back and held the handle of her spear. The front line could not completely block the charge of the monsters. A defensive line was broken and more than a dozen bloodthirsty magic wolves rushed in.
“Jessica, protect this place well.”
Jessica held her spear and was ready for battle.
Although the strength of these monsters was nothing, their ability to assimilate was very troublesome. If they were bitten, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, at the moment when the battle was about to start, what happened next almost made people fall. For some reason, the vampire monsters that were charging at them suddenly braked and cried out in a low voice.
Then, they crawled towards George.
At this time, George was just about to walk to the side of Captain Ryan.
This also gave Captain Ryan a shock. At this time, a monster did not stop in time and it collided with Captain Ryan and he fell to the ground.
George was dumbfounded when he saw this. After all, a Captain Ryan, the leader of the Knight Order, was subdued just like that?
