302 Fighting on all sides
In the palace of the kings, Ufric clutched the letter in his hand with an iron face, but before he could speak, he was greeted by a panicked herald, and his face turned black in an instant, and if you look carefully, you can still see a trace of angry red under the skin. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Signal! The entire Eastern Frontier is in combat readiness! ”
Ufric roared, and the herald staggered, turned around in a hurry, and ran out of the king's palace with his hands and feet, but the moment the palace gate closed, Ufric sat down in the middle of the throne, stretched out his hand to cover his bitter face, and rubbed it vigorously, before he once again showed his expression of contempt.
Holding the armrest of the throne with both hands, Ufric braced himself up, gritted his teeth, and strode towards the palace gates, walking faster and faster, and the pace under his feet became heavier and heavier, like a drum beat that was getting faster and faster! The drums of war!
Boom!
The tall and heavy gate was slammed open as it was sent inside, and Ufrik squinted at the last ray of sunlight on the western hill, revealing a faint smile, he jerked out his battle axe and raised it high above his head: "For Nord!" ”
"For Nord!!"
Offstage, shouts swept across the east like a tsunami.
In Rift Valley City, it was a different scene, after Lord Leila in Rift Valley City received a report from the herald almost at the same time, and the letter crow from afar, Leila could only ask for the head of the Black Thorn Family, after all, the guardian of Rift Valley City is also a member of the Black Thorn Family, and the Black Thorn Family is also the largest wealthy merchant family in Split Valley City, as a lord, she feels that she needs to appease the Black Thorn Family at this time.
However, Lyra's guards and butlers left Lyra in the Mist Veil Tower (the Lord's Hall of Rift City) on the grounds that Rift City was not safe at this time, and Lyra's guards personally received the head of the Black Thorn Clan.
However, as soon as he turned around, the guard instructed the butler to prepare a few more carriages, and when he would leave directly with the lord through the back door of Rift City, after giving the order, he walked quickly to the manor of the Black Thorn family.
Although the rulers in the Tower of the Veil of Mist have always claimed that their decision-making has not been influenced by the Black Thorn Family, in fact, it was the butler and the guards who jointly deceived the lord Lyra, and all the information was filtered before it was sent to Lyra's desk.
But as a puppet lord, at least you can live happily and safely, right?
The guard sighed, and his feet were a little faster.
As the guards expected, after receiving the news that the vampires had come to the city, Ma Wen, the spokesman of the Black Thorn Family, immediately made the decision to abandon the city and flee, and the guards also appropriately proposed that he had prepared a few carriages at the back gate of the city, and the two hit it off, and immediately fled from the back gate of the city to the southeast together with the legendary strong man in the city.
As for the people of the city?
Anyway, it's not the property of the Black Thorn family.
Just after the two cities that received the news last made very different decisions, other cities and towns also ushered in the attack of vampires.
The easiest to deal with may be the two territories of the Winter Castle Territory and the Yar Border, both of which are the first cities to receive the news, the former sent the high-level forces of the entire academy early in the morning to carry out a sweep centered on Winter Castle City, and when the vampires attacked at night, most of the Winter Castle Territory had been plowed by this group of stimulant-like mages with various powerful spells.
The latter is the legendary summoner Falion who shattered his legendary aura and overloaded the stone henge from the ancient era, and before nightfall, countless light rains enveloped the entire area of the Yar border, and there are few caves and other terrain in the Yar border, and the vampires of the entire territory have been indiscriminately purified.
Those with low strength, such as those high-level blood clans, vampire barons and the like, have faded away from the aura of the blood clan, and their bodies have rejuvenated, but in the next second, the bodies that have spent hundreds of years are rapidly aging and collapsing under the frightened eyes of other vampires, until they become piles of ashes.
And those vampire viscounts who have understood the rules, and vampire counts and marquis who have been promoted to legends, are like boiling water, the flesh and blood all over their bodies are constantly festering in the light rain, and they are repaired by blood, and so on, and the terrible screams envelop the entire Yar border, as if the evil ghosts of hell have made their final roar in the holy light of heaven.
However, no matter how strong these vampires were, in the continuous rain of light, they still drained their energy one after another, and were purified into a wisp of green smoke by the rain of light, leaving no trace.
Even as the commander of the entire Yar border, the most powerful vampire duke only lasted to the end of the light rain, and the light rain of the entire territory gathered on top of his head, but in the blink of an eye, the vampire duke who had spanned thousands of years was purified into a wisp of green smoke, and there was no trace in this world.
It was also easier to deal with the western part of the Eastern Mirror and Rift Realm, the central and eastern parts of the Vorcles, and the southeastern part of the Snow Mantra, and the vampires in these areas had already been killed one by one by the Sky Whispering Team who had received the information before they could receive the news of the attack.
What is it like to face Master Greybeard's dragon roar unsuspectingly?
No one knows, at least, no one in this era can tell, even a vampire marquis who leads the team only held on to the roar for three seconds, and without even a word left, he was shaken into a cloud of debris.
And as the focus of the vampire in the city of Phocles, the monastery also specially sent three hermits to rush over one step in advance, and finally caught up with the attack of the vampires in the evening, the three hermits were like gods descending into the world, invisible fluctuations, boiling air, in the eyes of the soldiers and the people, the three hermits seemed to just show their faces, and they scared off a large number of vampires outside the city.
The so-called scare is still thanks to Hakong's focus on taking care of Phocles, and specially sent a mythical level blood prince over, otherwise the entire vampires outside the city of Phocles would be killed by three hermits in one spot.
Of course, there are also Creek Town and Snow City that are equally easy, Hakong itself did not deploy too many forces near Creek Town, and when he encountered three legendary powerhouses led by Ispen, they only symbolically resisted and all of them rushed into the street.
After solving the crisis in Brookwood, Farndal, Delphine and Ispen rushed directly to Snowman, and in the evening, the vampire army had just appeared outside the city, and they fought out of the city together with Blances in the city.
Even though Hakong placed a vampire duke, two vampire counts, and eight vampire high viscounts near Snowman City, he was still stunned when facing the excessive guardian power of Snowman City.
Although Hakong took into account the super strength of the guardians of Snow Man City, he specially sent a duke to drag Blanches, but he didn't expect that there were three other legendary masters in the city, Blankes dragged the vampire duke alone, and fought flying sand and rocks miles outside the city, and Fayndal and Delphine also played at a super level, each dragging a vampire count, as for the remaining eight vampire high viscounts?
The Great Demon King Isbon's hands were icy and fire, and he smiled without saying a word.
But other than that, the rest of the town isn't doing much better.
The worst is Morning Star City and Rift Valley City, the former does not even have a legendary guardian, and the city lord Scudder hides the news and flees for his life alone, and when the vampire army appears, the uncommanded army has been in chaos for a while, if it is not for the timely arrival of the mage group led by Tovdir, maybe it will be slaughtered by the vampires.
Although Rift City has a legendary powerhouse guarding the city, it was appropriated by Marven Black Thorn for personal use, protecting a group of core members of the Black Thorn family and the lord of Rift City, Leila's family, and quietly fled the city.
Although there is still a Thieves' Guild in the city, the Guild is not a vegetarian, and after getting the information from somewhere, Mercer made the same decision as Marwen, sealed the vault, and then fled Rift City with a group of core members of the Thieves' Guild.
After the two most powerful forces in the city have all absconded, even if there is only one vampire count and two vampire high viscounts outside the city, the overall strength is considered to be the bottom in Hakong's plan, but it is still not something that ordinary soldiers in the city can handle.
After discovering that Rift City was powerless to resist, the vampires decisively launched a massacre of the city, directly turning the entire city into purgatory, and the vampire virus spread like the summer flu, and before midnight, only the vampires and their minions were left in the entire Rift City.
Even the Sky Whispering Team, who arrived in the early hours of the next morning, did not expect that Rift City, which had been thought to be very safe, would become the only big city to be slaughtered.
In addition, among the remaining three cities, whether it is Lonely City, Marcus City, or Wind Helm City, they are not the main targets of the vampires this time, and the vampire forces placed outside the city are only used as a containment, and the rulers of the three cities have made the right decision, and after fighting each other all night, the vampire army that lost less than half of it took advantage of the last darkness to quietly disappear into the night before dawn.
Although the nine major cities of Skyrim Province have all survived the attack of vampires except for Rift Valley City, the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of the city are not so lucky, and the next morning, when the spies sent a steady stream of information back to the city, almost every lord turned blue and clutched the information in his hand with angry eyes.
The fewest losses were still Mosal City and Winterhold City, the border of Yar where Mosal City is located, due to the super large spell activated by Falion, the vampires of the entire territory were wiped out in a short time, and the entire territory was not lost at all except for a few stampedes caused by popular riots.
In the Winterhold Territory, although the Winterhold Academy responded in a timely manner, there were still some remote villages that were not taken care of, and about 300 to 500 people were killed in this disaster, of course, or were transformed into vampire servants.
In third place was the Territory of Phocles, which was considered to be the weakest, and this territory itself did not have many settlements, and it was additionally cared for by the Abbey, and in the end there was not a single loss except for the slaughter of a few settlements in the far west, near the Richland.
Compared to these three territories, the other territories suffered much more losses.
The losses of the Snow Man Territory and the Havengar Territory are not comparable, the former is because the four legendary powerhouses led by Ispen resolved the crisis in Ximu Town in advance, and after defeating the vampires outside Snow Man City, they rushed to other settlements, which reduced a lot of losses, but in the end, seven settlements, including Lorry Tide Town, were slaughtered by vampires, and more than 3,000 people were killed or their whereabouts are unknown.
As the first territory to get the news, the Halfingal Territory not only made the first arrangements, but Hotir and Serana each brought a team to support other large settlements, which avoided a lot of losses, but there were still many small and medium-sized settlements that were poisoned, and they also lost more than 3,000 people.
In addition, the North Tower Fortress and Somer's embassy of Somer's garrison were also devastated, and Sawyer stood in the position of fellow victims, and in order to express his condolences, he also asked Ms. Elysif to send a letter to Summer Twilight Island, and it is estimated that after receiving the letter, the ancestor Shenzhou, who had been out of the way, would directly start a war with the vampires.
However, the Snow Manling and Hafengar Territories can only be regarded as slightly miserable, in the Rich, White Territory and Eastern Territory, in addition to the three major cities were spared from slaughter, only the White Territory and the Eastern Territory saved a few small and medium-sized settlements thanks to the support of the Abbey and Winter Castle Academy, while the other settlements and towns were not spared, and tens of thousands of people died (or were converted into blood servants), and the entire territory was devastated.
As for the Rift Collar......
The reactions of the lords of all parties are not to be discussed for the time being, and the actions of Sawyer after getting the news are not to be explained, but it is said that after the monastery received the news of the Rift Valley Lord, those silent graybeards scolded for a long time, and the thunder rolled throughout the Hosgar Peak, and several fierce hermits almost ran to the Black Thorn Nest.
However, this is all news from Skyrim Province, and as the first province to detect the vampire conspiracy, the situation in Skyrim Province is actually quite good.
On the third day after the vampire attack, Sawyer also received news from several other territories, looking at the blood-colored numbers on the short letter, Sawyer almost gritted his steel teeth, especially when looking at the names of the blood-colored cities one after another, if he hadn't been pulled by Serana, he would have almost run to Valhachi Castle alone to fight with Hakong!
