On the Twilight Continent, Qianye, Ye Tong and Howard flew close to the ground and moved forward at full speed.
Suddenly Howard murmured: "Although Middle's main castle is not my first castle, it was built with my own hands. When it was first completed, there was no human empire. I didn't expect that this place has lived for more than a thousand years.
, to be ruined like this." He sighed as he spoke.
The three of them ran for a while, and Howard started to breathe a little. He looked at the sky and said, "The connection between me and the mark is getting weaker. Are you sure you want to take this useless old thing like me with you?"
Nighteye said: "There is only one dark gospel. As long as you are here, the Byrne clan will not perish."
Howard took a breath and said, "Okay, you convinced me."
For any ancient clan, the blood of the original ancestor is the source of everything. A living ancestor, or a great king among the descendants, is everything. The importance of Dark Gospel has surpassed that of all other members of the Byrne clan.
This is the traditional judgment standard of the vampire family.
Qianye was thoughtful, and when he saw Howard lagging slightly behind, he slowed down and stretched out his hand.
Howard was obviously hesitant, but then he smiled bitterly and murmured to himself: "Since he is already a useless old guy, why do you still think so much!"
He stretched out his hand to hold Qianye's arm, and felt a strong force coming from him, and his speed suddenly increased. And Ye Tong in front also speeded up accordingly, flying across the mountains and rivers like lightning. Only then did Howard know that Ye Tong and Qian Ye had been staying there all along.
Strength, not running at full strength.
"You... don't look like a duke." He could only sigh.
When night fell, the three finally arrived at Fleet Castle, and all they saw was ruins.
This castle is one of the two largest castles of the Movey clan in the Twilight Continent. Its owner, Vice Duke Vantliff, is steady and mediocre. He has never awakened the blood of his ancestors in his life. But he is usually gentle and willing to help. In the vampire clan
The reputation in China is quite good.
The Blue King has been dormant for many years. In the past few hundred years, he has hardly come out for activities. The overall strength of the Morvey clan has also been declining. Although there are many dukes in the clan, Fantliff can preside over the most important affairs in the clan just as a deputy duke.
One of the ancient castles can also be considered as circumstantial evidence.
If the Lord of Macefield had not appeared, Howard's castle could have persisted for many days under the siege of the parliamentary army, and it could have persisted for much longer. But the Fleet Castle in front of him did not have the aura that the Dark Lord had appeared.
, but it seems that it has not been able to hold up for even a day.
In the ruins of the old castle, figures occasionally flashed. Although they acted cautiously, they could not escape the eyes of Ye Tong and Qian Ye.
"It's a demon. It looks like he's staying here, waiting for an opportunity to arrest a vampire who comes over to investigate or make contact." Nighteye said.
Qianye pointed in the distance and said: "Their camp is over there, that is the half-collapsed building. I'll go."
"good."
Qianye's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot. A moment later, the building with the upper half missing was suddenly covered by a crimson golden force field and collapsed layer by layer.
Within the domain, a few demons struggled to fly up, but they only flew more than ten meters before falling with all their strength. In the blink of an eye, all the buildings within the domain were reduced to nothing, while everything outside the domain was intact.
The dividing line is like a knife cutting it.
Howard raised his long eyebrows and said, "What an amazing field!"
The blazing force of dawn in the Qianye Domain was a bit dazzling even to him, not to mention the demons in the domain. The Dawn Domain of Qianye was incapable of weakening and killing the dark races.
To compare with.
After a while, Qianye closed the territory, made a gesture, and Ye Tong and Howard flew over.
In the ruins, there are dozens of demon descendants who have fallen to the ground everywhere. Two of the earls can still sit, but they can only sit down. Only the Marquis, who is the leader, can barely stand. But he is swaying.
The way it looks, I'm afraid it will fall over if pushed.
The eyes of all demon descendants looking at Qianye were full of fear. As descendants of darkness, the hell-like dawn field just now was an experience they never wanted to have again.
"Where is Deputy Duke Vantliff now?" Howard hit the nail on the head as soon as he opened his mouth.
The Demon Marquis just sneered, "How long do you fellow vampires think you can escape? It's just wishful thinking to ask anything from me!"
Howard was not annoyed and smiled: "Soon you will know why they call me the dark gospel."
A moment later, a shrill scream resounded through the sky.
"How's it going? Can you tell me?" Howard was still standing there, motionless. The Marquis was paralyzed on the ground, twitching constantly, and foam was pouring out of his mouth and nose.
Hearing Howard's voice, he yelled again and kept retreating, obviously extremely frightened.
Howard raised his hand and waved lightly, and a piece of icy blood fell, finally calming down the Demon Marquis.
This time, the demon was no longer stubborn and said honestly: "Fantliff is not dead. At the last moment, he...surrendered. Now he and the remaining more than 300 tribesmen are imprisoned in the Marquis of Eivar Castle.
Prepare to move to the Demon Continent in two days."
"Aivar, the last time I saw her, she was a child, and now she is a Marquis? Unexpectedly, even she has defected to the demon." After sighing, Howard said: "We have already seen the war, I think,
What we need to know more now is the cause of the war and why so many tribesmen defected to the demons."
Qianye said: "Maybe they are just afraid. In the Black Sun Valley not long ago, there were three werewolves and vampire marquises who were willing to surrender. And in Yonglu, there are more such examples."
Howard shook his head, "Immortals are indeed more afraid of death, but not all are like this. What's more, your true identity on the battlefield still belongs to a third party. This is a very subtle difference. Surrender and redemption are actually the same.
tacitly allowed. But the situation faced by these betrayers is not like this.
There are a few guys inside that I know very well. They are quite independent and responsible, and they are not the kind who will give in when threatened. So I think there should be another reason for this. We need to figure out what exactly is inducing them.
I would rather betray the queen and the tribe, and turn my back on the river of blood, than take refuge in the demon."
Qianye nodded, thoughtfully. As immortals, if they are not afraid of death, then there are very few things that can tempt them. It is either power or strength. As for faith, that does not exist. For the vampires, blood
The long river is the only faith. Even the river of blood can be abandoned. What other faith cannot be given up?
Listening to what Howard said, Qianye also felt that maybe the reason behind the scenes was the key. He regretted that he killed the little Marquis Lynch too quickly and did not continue to ask questions. At that time, neither he nor Ye Tong realized it.
, this betrayal may also be real and autonomous.
But without Little Lynch, there would still be Eivar. But Van Trier had already surrendered, was it still worth saving? Qianye turned his questioning eyes to Ye Tong.
Nighteye thought for a moment and said: "Reynold has no direct descendants. Van Trier is the direct descendant of his sister. It is his closest relationship. No matter how he is, it is better to go and check the situation first. He is sent
Going to the Demon Continent is not a good thing."
"Okay." Qianye nodded.
The Zhao Clan's territory, Youtong Pass, is the frontline bordering the rebels and the Dark Territory.
At this moment, in this military city, the clouds of war are thick.
At noon, Zhao Clan's outer void defense system suddenly discovered that a Duke-level dark race fleet appeared in the airspace in the direction of Wubei Province in Younan, where the rebels live, and some of the warships were painted with the Eternal Night Parliament.
logo.
In terms of airspace security, the fleet's location has not yet threatened the empire's territory, but the distance is already very close.
The current empire has entered a state of full war readiness. Although it is kept secret, in fact, the heads of aristocratic families in various places and generals above the lieutenant general level are all on standby. Lieutenant General Zhao Ruqin, who is in charge of Youtong Pass, is naturally among them.
Zhao Ruqin is good at defense and strategic judgment.
Although according to intelligence, the dark territory of the Western Continent is not very peaceful recently, and it seems that the dark race itself is having some civil war, Zhao Ruqin still did not put the appearance of this fleet aside, and even boarded the battleship himself to observe it from a distance in the outer void.
When he returned to the ground, he immediately sent out scouts to report the news to Zhao Clan's headquarters.
Zhao Clan's headquarters responded very quickly. More than an hour later, a high-speed boat arrived with Zhao Jundu.
Zhao Ruqin was surprised when he saw Zhao Jundu. He had heard that Zhao Jundu was recuperating in the imperial capital, but he didn't know that he had returned to the Western Continent.
Zhao Ruqin hurriedly took a few steps and went up to meet him, "Why did the Fourth Young Master come here in person? Your injury has been greatly healed?"
Zhao Jundu nodded and returned the greeting, saying: "King Beiyue is in the main palace. He felt an unknown vibration in the void outside the Western Continent. Just as your information was sent, I came over to see if it originated from here."
"Unknown oscillation?" Zhao Ruqin was stunned. The king's perception was extraordinary, but the source was unknown. For military strategists, this kind of vague situation is the most feared.
Zhao Jundu followed Zhao Ruqin up to the observation tower of the city wall. While looking towards the nearest Younan Province, he asked: "Has the war zone been notified?"
Zhao Ruqin was about to answer when he saw two high-speed boats of the regular Imperial Army rushing towards them in the eastern sky. Before they could land, two figures jumped out of the airships and flew directly towards the city.
One of the young men with a handsome face was none other than Zhao Junhong, deputy commander of the Western Army Region.
Zhao Ruqin didn't need to explain at this time. Zhao Jundu and Zhao Junhong briefly greeted each other and turned their attention to the other person. The other person was also wearing the uniform of the regular army of the empire, but the pattern on the collar badge was different. It was the emblem of the Beifu Army.
Zhao Jundu felt that the man looked familiar, but he couldn't name him for a moment. Zhao Junhong had already introduced him quickly: "This is General Lin Wu, who is now the admiral of the Beifu Army."
