Chen Ning looked at Lin Qingxuan and Chen Qinghua, who were full of shock, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's Humphrey." Because of the large number of zombies and the army of the dark race, it is not easy to safely cross the black swamp, in order to reduce unnecessary losses, so the army of the Dark Alliance sent Humphrey to lead a pathfinder team, wanting to explore a relatively safe route for the army of the Dark Alliance to advance. It happened that I and the Blood God came across this pathfinder team, so we intercepted and killed, and finally killed Humphrey and half of the team, and let the rest of them flee back. ”

The two men defeated a team led by Humphrey, and everyone was completely shocked.

Especially Lin Qingxuan and Chen Qinghua, the soldiers who have fought against the vampire Duke Humphrey, they all know Humphrey's power, it can be said that since Humphrey appeared on the battlefield in the southern provinces, this vampire duke is the sharpest knife of the Dark Alliance army, invincible.

If it weren't for Humphrey, then Deathwing Gianna would have been killed by Fu Yunfei and the others, and Snake Valley would not have been defeated;

And now, Humphrey, who once impressed the soldiers of the southern province and could even be said to be a nightmare in the hearts of many people, was actually beheaded by Chen Ning, and now he threw the body on the ground like a butcher killing chickens and dogs.

Everyone looked at Chen Ning in shock, it seems that the king is no accident, Chen Ning can rise in the southern battlefield, and is called the god of war and the light of the empire, which is not unreasonable.

Lin Qingxuan was still a little puzzled, and he asked Chen Ning respectfully: "Grand Duke, judging from this costume and sword, it is indeed Humphrey himself, but how can his appearance change so much. I remember when we fought him, he was a handsome foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes in his thirties and forties, and now he looks like a hundred years old. ”

There is no need for Chen Ning to explain this, Chen Ning's side has already opened his mouth to explain: "The reason is very simple, vampires have a very long lifespan, and when they reach adulthood, their appearance will hardly change again, even if hundreds of thousands of years have passed, they will not look very old." This is thanks to the essence and blood in their hearts, if they receive fatal trauma and the essence and blood in their hearts are quickly lost, then their bodies, which have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years, will immediately lose support and become extremely old. ”

Everyone said, "I see!"

Lin Qingxuan immediately called his subordinates and commanded loudly: "Then hang the corpse of this damn vampire duke on the square for me, send soldiers to guard it, and let the people of the whole city see the fate of the invaders." ”

"Yes!"

Soon a soldier took away Duke Humphrey's body, Chen Qinghua looked at Chen Ning, the previous contempt and contempt were gone, replaced by a touch of awe, he said to Chen Ning: "Although the Metropolitan Governor's whereabouts were exposed because of the killing of Humphrey, there is no news of spying on the army of the Dark Alliance. But the harvest is not small, killing Humphrey can make the enemy lose courage, and it can also improve the morale of the entire army and people in Xuanwu City, which is powerful. ”

Lin Qingxuan said happily: "Yes, the enemy will definitely be angry when he knows that Humphrey has been killed, and he will be cautious and slow down the march, so for us, there will be more time to prepare for battle." ”

As soon as Lin Qingxuan's words fell, he suddenly heard a gentle and moving woman's voice: "Wrong, Prince Vlad and the Corpse Emperor will not slow down, but will come more urgently." ”

Chen Ning, Lin Qingxuan and others were taken aback when they heard the voice, and everyone realized that this was on the street, although there were many guards around to block the onlookers, but there were still many people around, and people with good hearing could hear them talking, and this was not a good place to talk about military aircraft.

Everyone looked at the place where the woman's voice came from, and then they saw that in front of a group of soldiers, there was an elegant beauty wearing a Western aristocratic woman's long dress, followed by two cardinals, and several other Templars.

Suga was surprised to see this woman and said, "It's her!"

Chen Ning was also stunned: "Golia!"

It turns out that this Western beauty is none other than the daughter of the Pope, the Holy Lady of the Holy See, Goliath!

Yin Changfeng's eyes were also a little strange when he saw Golia, because when Chen Ning was listed as a rebel by the empire in White Tiger City, Yin Changfeng fought with Chen Ning because he wanted to capture Chen Ning, and at that time it was a defeat for both sides. However, Chen Ning was more seriously injured, if it wasn't for Golia's rescue of Chen Ning in the first place, it is estimated that the grass on Chen Ning's grave is very high now.

Yin Changfeng knew about Chen Ning's friendship with Golia, so he did not hesitate to order the guards: "Don't be rude, let Miss Goliaa come over." ”

Soon, Goliath brought two cardinals and a few Templars to Chen Ning and the others, smiling and greeting everyone one by one.

Chen Ning asked curiously, "Miss Golia, why did you end up here?"

Golia's appearance in the Chinese Empire is a bit rare, and it is even more intriguing to appear in the war-shrouded western provinces. Chen Ning guessed in his heart that Goliath was probably here for the Dark Alliance, after all, the Holy See has always been the number one enemy of the Dark Alliance, and wherever the dark race is rampant, there will be the shadow of the Holy See bishop and the Templars.

Sure enough, Goliath said to Chen Ning straight to the point: "Recently, our Holy See received news that the Dark Alliance intends to invade the Far East region on a large scale, although our Holy See has little influence in the Far East, but there are also some strongholds, adhering to the principle of God's mercy, and the sacred responsibility to punish the dark race on behalf of God, so after our Holy See has discussed, we decided to send some bishops and Templars to come here to assist the Far Eastern humans in fighting against the Dark Alliance." ”

Goliath paused, and said to Chen Ning with a little pity: "It's a pity that the countries in your Far East don't like the arrival of our Holy See very much, so it is not easy for our Holy See to send a large number of Temple troops to assist you in the battle, and can only symbolically send some strong people to help. ”

The Chinese Empire does not welcome the Holy See very much, first of all, China has its own traditional sects, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, they do not like the arrival of the Holy See.

Buddhism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Holy See wants to come here to preach God, and the people naturally find it difficult to accept it.

Another reason is that the Holy See likes to meddle in the internal affairs of the empire, and in the West, the divine power represented by the Holy See can compete with the imperial power and military power, and the Holy See influences, and it can also be said that it can control the internal affairs of many countries.

Because of this, although the Chinese Empire is willing for the Holy See's Templar army to come to help fight against the dark race, when it comes to theocracy, it wants to compete with the royal family and the cabinet for the ruling power of the empire, which the Chinese Empire cannot accept.

It was precisely because of this willingness that the Holy See was never able to truly enter the Far East, especially the Chinese Empire.

This is also what Golia said about the so-called Huaxia is not very welcome, Chen Ning didn't want to discuss this issue, so he changed the topic with a smile and said, "I heard Miss Golia's statement just now that the Dark Alliance army will not slow down the attack, but will come more urgently, what does this mean?"

Goliath smiled and said, "How many times have we dealt with Vlad of the Blood Clan, we know his temper and style very well. Prince Vlad has a special personality and often acts unexpectedly. For example, when you killed Duke Humphrey this time, everyone thought that the Dark Alliance army must have been shocked and would slow down their attack for the sake of stability. But in fact, although Prince Vlad will be shocked, his shock will only be short-lived, and then he will play his cards out of common sense. You think he's going to slow down, he's going to send an elite force to speed up and go straight to Xuanwu City to attack. Just because of the surprise, it is often possible to reap surprises. ”

Chen Ning glanced at Lin Qingxuan, Chen Qinghua, Wei Qing, Yin Changfeng, Wei Qing and others, and Chen Ning said in a deep voice: "It seems that we are about to have a battle." ”
