Ye Tong briefly introduced: "This is His Royal Highness Howard of Dark Gospel, and he is Qianye. There is still fighting outside, I will deal with it first." Then she left the hall and disappeared out of the window.
Although Parikia had retreated, he was walking too fast, and the offensive of the parliamentary army outside was still fierce. Nighteye wanted to deal with the strong man supervising the battle of the parliament, and force the parliamentary troops to retreat with a direct attack on the middle army.
As soon as she left, Howard and Qianye were left in the hall, and they suddenly felt awkward.
Qianye fired two shots in a row, frightening Parokia away. At this moment, he was weak, leaning against the wall with his eyes lowered, looking a little drowsy.
Howard, on the other hand, had not completed the awakening process and was forced to face the enemy. He was half-clothed and shaped like a skeleton. The hall seemed to have just been ravaged by a storm, and all objects were scattered on the floor.
Howard coughed and said, "I didn't understand the last shot. It's like I've never seen that kind of force."
"I was impatient. I should have used the force of dawn to illuminate the dawn. Unfortunately, I kept rushing and only had time to make a physical bomb." Qianye said honestly.
It's not easy to catch the Great Lord's flaw. If it weren't for the narrow environment of the main hall and Qianye's bloodline being hidden all the time, those two shots wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
Howard thought thoughtfully and said: "I didn't feel how powerful that force was at first, maybe because I haven't seen it before. But judging from Palikia's reaction, the shot behind seemed to be more powerful than the morning sun.
Qiming is even greater. It’s incredible.”
After the two chatted for a few words, the offensive of the parliamentary troops outside suddenly slowed down. A floating battleship spurted out blazing fire and fell to the ground while burning. The other battleships turned around and left the battlefield. Those who were still in the castle
All the fighting warriors were left behind, and only death awaited them.
Ye Tong appeared in the main hall again. There were many damage and slash marks on her armor, and a thin bloody mouth appeared on the side of her neck. However, her aura was still there, so she should be fine.
"I drove away Archduke Felik, who was supervising the battle. He will probably have to rest for decades before he can fight again. Your Highness Howard, please explain to the tribe what will happen next, and then we'll leave."
"Where to go?"
"You won't be able to send out a second summons in a short time, right? The communication device here has been destroyed, and your backup blood pool has been mixed with blood poison. The value of the castle itself is no longer much, and the parliamentary troops should not come again. We
Now go to the Morvi Clan, Renault has fallen, but his people must be rescued."
"Reno has fallen?!" Howard was shocked, but looking at Ye Tong's face, he knew that although he didn't feel it for some reason, it was the fact.
Howard still didn't move, pointed to the top of his head, and said with a wry smile: "If you can sense the river of blood, you should know my current situation."
"A long river of blood?" Ye Tong closed his eyes and stood there. After a moment, his aura suddenly rose. He passed one level after another, and his bloodline level gradually increased.
At the end of the void, the long river of blood began to boil, and in response, it became clear again.
Nighteye's aura climbed to the end of the Grand Duke and then stopped. Just under Howard's eyes, she completed a major leap in a short period of time.
After being promoted to Grand Duke, Ye Tong's aura changed again, a deep and far-reaching aura slowly emerged, and every move seemed to be accompanied by thunder.
She looked up into the void, her eyes having penetrated countless obstacles and landed on the river of blood.
The advancement of Nighteye awakened the river of blood, making it clear from hiding and no longer in a state that was difficult to perceive. However, the three people present were all aware of the same problem at this moment. Their perceptions could at least cover the main body of the castle, so it was also
They discovered that although Nighteye awakened the Holy River again, no other vampires could sense it.
The river of blood has been silent for a long time. The blood imprint of the Crown of Fire lit by Habus was once regarded as the beginning of the resurrection of the holy river. After that, there were indeed several unexplained boils, but even the great figures above the duke
Everyone only knows that someone has advanced, but they can't see the source clearly.
However, if Qianye learns of their doubts, he will find that most of those boiling rivers of blood were caused by him.
No one has ever discussed this issue openly, and even the second-generation ancestors have not communicated with each other, because that would trigger an extremely bad guess, that is, the Holy River may be reviving, but it has nothing to do with most vampires. They are still in
In the past thousands of years, it has been in a state of being unable to touch and receive no response. Only the ancestors and a few powerful beings are exceptions.
Of course, Ye Tong, Howard and Qianye would not talk about this topic here and now.
Nighteye is still completing her promotion.
Qianye, who originally had a closer connection with the Blood River than any other vampire clan, put aside his distracting thoughts at this moment and focused his attention on the Blood River.
This is the best opportunity to observe the river of blood. In the past, the river of blood boiled in response to Qianye's promotion, and countless inherited knowledge would follow. Qianye could only accept this knowledge as much as possible, and why not care about it.
On other?
Only at this time can he go back to the source and carefully feel and understand everything about the river of blood.
The closer to the source, the more difficult it becomes. Originally, it was impossible for the Duke to trace the source back, even if it was close. But Qianye relied on the connection between the ancient blood clan and the river of blood to successfully get close to the source. Just getting close was already
His limit at this moment.
In this position, Qianye faintly sensed multiple huge sources of power, each with a different nature, but the same purity and singleness.
This is the true face of the Blood River Mark.
Qianye was startled and almost withdrew from the contact with the Blood River. The sensing mark here and the normal state of seeing the mark are two different things.
Being able to sense the source of the mark's power is the first step to igniting the mark. This is common knowledge among vampires. However, it is difficult for most vampires to sense the existence of the mark.
The twelve ancient clans, relying on their bloodline advantages, have unique advantages in sensing a certain mark. This is the root of the bloodline inheritance. But even with the bloodline bonus, once the blood mark is extinguished, it becomes increasingly difficult to rekindle it.
..
This time, Qianye sensed seven or eight marks as soon as he got close to the source. Some of them were particularly clear. How could he not be shocked, thinking that his feelings or the inheritance he received were wrong. With this level of clarity, if he
With enough accumulation, wouldn't it be possible to ignite it?
Moreover, in the history of the blood clan, each mark seems to be ignited by only one person at the same time. If Qianye ignites the mark, doesn't it mean that the ancient clan corresponding to the mark has stopped its path to coronation? If Qianye accumulates enough, he can ignite two people.
What's the point of a mark, a double crown?
This was really amazing. Qianye tried it several times to make sure that his feeling was correct. Although whether it could be ignited was something that would happen in the future, since he had sensed the source of the mark's power, he could not let go of such a good observation opportunity.
.Each mark represents a path of the Force. Even if it cannot be ignited, just observing the rules of the force will be of great benefit.
Qianye compared the perceived marks one by one with the twelve marks of the vampires in his memory, and quickly locked onto eight marks. Five of the marks were currently extinguished publicly among the vampires.
However, something is wrong with the other two marks. One of them belongs to Gu Xin, a crowned prince who has been sleeping for six hundred years. His mark can be felt. Could it be that he has fallen and his continued sleep is just a fake released to the outside world?
information?
But there is another mark, which is the castle in the thorns of the Lightless King Metanzo. Metanzo is definitely still alive, how could his mark be sensed by Qianye?
With doubts, Qianye inspected the last mark. This mark was much weaker than the other marks in perception, and was looming. If it weren't for the invisible connection between it and Qianye, Qianye wouldn't be able to establish a connection at all.
Unlike other marks, it seems to be further away, hidden underwater.
After inspection, Qianye was shocked to find that this mark did not belong to any known mark!
The thirteenth mark?
Qianye inspected it repeatedly and finally concluded that this was a brand new mark with no recorded data.
At this moment, the surge of the long river of blood began to ebb, disappearing into the depths of the void again, and Qianye's connection with the mysterious mark was also cut off.
Nighteye retracted his gaze, looked at Howard, and said, "Is your mark about to be extinguished?"
Howard smiled bitterly and said: "There were some signs of instability. I woke up before to confirm the situation. Now that I wake up in a hurry, it will be a matter of time before the mark goes out."
Nighteye added: "I saw you sending a message to Lilith in the main hall. Was it really Metanzo who intercepted it?"
"Medanzo! Who else but him?" Howard couldn't help gritting his teeth at the mention of this name.
"Medanzuo..." No expression could be seen in Ye Tong's eyes. However, Qianye knew that the confirmation of this news still had a considerable impact on her.
In a blink of an eye, the sky gradually grew brighter.
Qianye, Yetong and Howard stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the castle.
Near the bottom of the mountain, there were more than a dozen blazing fires burning in the largest square of the castle. People were constantly carrying corpses and throwing them into the fire. Among them were parliamentary soldiers and more of them were vampires.
There are still fires everywhere in the castle, and many of the fires ignited by special techniques have not yet been extinguished. Standing on a high place, Qianye can take in the entire castle in his sights, but he knows without looking that some battlefields in the castle are
How tragic.
Like Middle Castle, which has been operating for thousands of years, Howard is relatively active and prosperous far beyond similar castles. There are nearly 100,000 vampires living in and around the castle. It is completely like an ancient city. In such a city, there will be a lot of nothingness.
fighting civilians.
The rise of the human race fully demonstrated to the dark race that civilians can also be the foundation for the development of a race's civilization. Although there are fundamental differences in the way the power of the dark and dawn races is passed on, since the establishment of the empire, each race has still consciously or unconsciously, and to varying degrees,
Start paying attention to civilians.
Just like Night Eye in the past, it was just a native species that awakened from a remote branch. In ancient times, it would not receive enough attention. But nowadays, there is no such strict distinction between pure blood lines for native species. In
In this regard, vampires and demons are at the forefront, while werewolves are the most stubborn party. As for nerubians, they are still stuck in the way of reproduction.
The parliament soldiers were airdropped into the castle. The entire castle was a battlefield. Naturally, they would kill vampires whenever they saw them. They did not distinguish between young and old, let alone civilians and soldiers. Therefore, under the light of burning fire, civilians were slaughtered one after another.
scene.
The Twilight homeland of the Blood Clan, especially in the core territory of the Ancestor, has not ignited war for thousands of years. Even the holy war will not attack the clan castles of the twelve ancient clans. Naturally, the civilians here have not received much combat training, not at all.
Opponents of the elite warriors of the Parliament who are armed to the teeth.
Although the war has subsided and the parliamentary troops have gone away, the Byrne clan suffered extremely heavy losses. One-third of the clan members died in a river of blood in just one night of fighting.
