A group of soldiers in black uniforms came from the direction outside the town. Although there were only a dozen of them, each of them had a strong smell of blood. On their armbands were the pattern of crossed muskets and bloody bayonets, which was the symbol of the Imperial Expedition. Army badge!
The gate of the town has completely collapsed, and the broken pipes are spraying steam out in vain. Several houses around the gate have been blown away by the blast. The bald Sheriff is half buried in the rubble, whispering. Groaning.
Just because the town gate blocked the way of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, they simply blasted open the gate of Lighthouse Town.
Behind the soldiers of the expeditionary force, there were dozens of people staggering behind them. They were covered in bruises, and their hands were tied with wires and locked in a string. The rusty wires were deeply cut into their flesh, and the wounds were still there. Blood was constantly dripping. If these people walked a little slower, the expeditionary soldiers next to them would whip them up.
In the darkness, the dimly glowing signboard of Manjushahua and the dim lights in the broken windows stood out. The group of imperial soldiers turned around and walked towards the bar.
Two tall soldiers walked into the bar first and glanced around.
Their eyes were as sharp as eagles, and no one in the entire bar dared to look at them. The automatic rifles in the hands of these two warriors were so powerful that they could turn everyone in the bar into corpses in less than a minute.
A soldier pointed to Qianye and said coldly: "Prepare food for twenty people. Be quick!"
Another soldier pointed his gun at the scavengers and shouted: "You dirty pigs, clean the table and get out! Now!"
The scavengers laughed as hard as they could, cleaned the tables at lightning speed, and then escaped from the bar. The other people voluntarily gave up the best tables and hid in the corners. The Imperial Army did not let them go. , none of them dared to move.
A tall officer walked slowly into the bar, lowering his head as he passed the door frame.
He had a pair of thick sword eyebrows, and his eyes were like the most ferocious and cunning nighthawk in the realm of eternal night. He glanced at everyone in the bar with the eyes of prey, then chose a table in the center and sat down.
There was a sound of beatings and curses outside, and the dozens of people were driven in by the soldiers of the expeditionary force, and then crowded and stood in the corner.
The officer glanced at the people in the bar and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Look at them! These are guys contaminated by the blood of darkness. What awaits them will be dark black mines! They will mine there. Until death, until the black blood attacks, turning into a monster that only thirsts for fresh blood and flesh, and then being killed by the guards. Open your eyes and take a good look! Anyone who falls to the side of eternal night will end up like this!"
There was fear in everyone's eyes.
These captured people all have a common title, blood slaves. People bitten by vampires will be contaminated by the blood of darkness and turn into beasts that have lost their minds. When it is time to eat, they will be thirsty for fresh flesh and blood, and they will be ordered by their superiors. It will attack the target crazily until it dies in battle.
Anywhere under the rule of the empire, as long as blood slaves are found, they will be executed on the spot. A few who have not yet suffered from the attack will be sent to the black mines for mining until they die in the mines.
Pure vampires are very rare, but blood slaves are also high-risk creatures. According to legend, as long as you are scratched or bitten by a blood slave, or even get close to them, you are likely to be contaminated by the blood of darkness. Original guests of the bar He huddled together with the women and shivered, desperately trying to stay away from the blood slaves.
At this time, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed out from the captured blood slaves, knelt down in front of the officer with a plop, and shouted loudly: "I am not a blood slave, I am not contaminated by the blood of darkness!"
A twisted and sinister smile appeared on the officer's face and he said, "I know."
The middle-aged man was startled and raised his head in shock, unable to believe his ears. But what greeted him was the dark muzzle of a gun!
There was a loud bang, and all the bottles and glasses in the bar shook. The middle-aged man was still kneeling, but his head had been completely smashed, and blood and brains were splashed on the floor.
The officer blew the smoke from the muzzle of the gun and said to the headless corpse: "I know you are not a blood slave, but the crime of harboring a blood slave is the same."
A soldier took a step forward and asked: "Lieutenant Colonel Liu, do you want his two sons to be dealt with together?"
The officer glanced at the group of blood slaves, and there stood two pale young men, the sons of middle-aged men. They were shrinking, trying to hide behind others.
The officer surnamed Liu pointed at them and said: "You two, come out, throw this body out to feed the dogs, and then wash the ground clean! I hate the smell of blood."
The two young men walked out tremblingly and carried their father's body out obediently. Everyone here knew that if they resisted, the Imperial Expeditionary Force had hundreds of ways to make life worse than death.
Just when the eyes of the officer surnamed Liu and the imperial soldiers were attracted, someone from the group of blood slaves suddenly screamed, "I don't want to go to the black mine!" and rushed towards the back door of the bar, trying to escape from there.
The officer had a sinister smile on his face again, took off a strange rifle from his back, and aimed it at the escaped blood slave's back. His movements seemed to be slow but fast. When a few blue lines on the rifle body lit up, the blood slave had only rushed over half way.
a hall.
At this moment, Qianye happened to walk out of the door holding a dinner plate.
At this moment, the guns of Qianye, the blood slave and the officer were in a straight line!
The officer saw Qianye, but the corners of his mouth moved and he still pulled the trigger!
What spewed out from the muzzle of the rifle was not a bullet, but a ball of red light!
A huge hole suddenly appeared in the center of the blood slave's body. In the blood foam and broken flesh, the red light had not exhausted its remaining power. It continued to move forward. It blasted through two walls one after another, and then disappeared after all its power was exhausted. This red light continued to move forward.
The power is unusually powerful, comparable to that of a large-caliber machine gun!
Qianye's body was not shattered by the blast, or even injured. At this moment, his body was strangely tilted at a forty-five-degree angle, and his feet were stuck on the ground like nails, just out of the officer's firing line.
There was a soft click, and a drop of blood fell from the sky, falling on Qianye's face, and a small blood flower bloomed. Against the background of the pale skin, this blood flower looked particularly dazzling.
Qianye's breathing suddenly became heavier, and an imperceptible deep red flashed in the depths of his eyes. However, this abnormality only passed away in a flash. Qianye's body seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, and he stood up straight again, and his meal
Not a drop of the wine on the plate was spilled.
With a plop, the blood slave's body fell to the ground. A hand stretched forward desperately was only a few centimeters away from Qianye's toes.
The officer surnamed Liu shrank his pupils and suddenly laughed, saying: "I didn't expect to see a true master who has awakened the Force in such a small place! This is really surprising!"
Qianye whispered: "I'm just barely alive."
The officer's eyes were as sharp as a knife as he stared at Qianye and asked, "Are you not eighteen years old yet?"
"Early seventeen." Qianye replied.
The officer walked around Qianye a few times and said: "You have ignited the Force node when you were just seventeen years old. This talent is quite good! With the Force and being so young, you could have a lot of future, but you hide
Why does this small place look so extraordinary?"
Qianye remained silent and did not answer.
The officer took out a metal nameplate with the emblem of the Expeditionary Force, threw it into Qianye's dinner plate, and said: "My name is Liu Jiang. I don't care who you are or what you have done. If you are willing, you can take this
Zhang Mingplate went to the Expeditionary Force Fortress to find Lieutenant Colonel Chu Xiong. He is currently short of manpower. As long as you join the Imperial Expeditionary Force, no matter what you have done in the past, even if you kill nobles in the upper continent, it will not matter. Do you understand?
?”
Qianye bowed slightly and said, "Thank you!" Faced with this recruitment opportunity that many people dreamed of, he didn't react much.
Liu Jiang saw that Qianye didn't seem very interested in joining the expeditionary force, and he didn't mean to force it, so he returned to his seat and sat down. Qianye placed a large glass of strong wine and a plate of potatoes and bacon in front of him.
The officer picked up the wine glass and smelled it. His eyes lit up and he said, "Good wine! I didn't expect to encounter such good wine in this small place. If Chu Xiong knows about your craftsmanship, he will definitely have you." However,
, he immediately put down the glass and said, "Okay, go get me a glass of water. I never drink when I'm on a mission."
Qianye then took away the wine glass and replaced it with water for Liu Jiang.
This is the empire’s expeditionary force stationed in the Eternal Night Continent. On the one hand, they are cruel and violent, fierce and tyrannical, and murderous. On the other hand, in the entire Eternal Night Realm, the expeditionary force numbering in the millions is to fight against the dark race.
The mainstay. With their presence, human gathering places like Lighthouse Town will not be impacted by a large number of dark races.
Qianye brought out plates of food. The Imperial soldiers were munching and no one spoke. The bar suddenly became quiet. Everyone felt depressed and unbearable, but no one dared to move or leave.
bar.
The Imperial soldiers were only halfway through eating when the door of the bar suddenly opened silently and two men in black trench coats walked in.
Their bodies were spotless, so clean and tidy that they were incompatible with the wilderness. And the strange thing was that no one noticed their arrival before they appeared.
As soon as they entered the bar, the two people glanced around, and every time they saw something, their eyebrows would frown more tightly, as if there was nothing here that could satisfy them, including these imperial troops.
When Liu Jiang saw a logo on the corners of their windbreakers, his expression changed and he stood up immediately. But just as he was about to say something, a man in black said coldly: "Did I tell you to stand up?"
Liu Jiang was furious, but when he made eye contact with this man, he suddenly seemed to be hit hard. He groaned, fell back to his original position, and his face suddenly turned pale. It was obvious that he was severely hurt by just this one moment.
The man snorted and said contemptuously: "You are a bunch of trash, no wonder you can only stay in this damn place. If you really relied on you to deal with the dark race, the empire would have been destroyed long ago."
The corner of Liu Jiang's mouth twitched, he wiped away the seeping blood, raised his hand to signal his soldiers not to move, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What are you doing in this abandoned place?"
Another person said coldly: "You don't deserve to know! If you say another word, I will kill you all!"
The veins on Liu Jiang's neck kept beating, and he moved his hand towards the Force gun behind his back, but wisely stopped.
Seeing this scene, the two men wrapped in black trench coats became even more disdainful.
At this time, an old voice sounded outside the door: "Miss, this place is not clean. There are not only blood slaves in it, but also some scum from the expeditionary force. You'd better not go in, right?"
