Chapter Sixty-Six: Blood Nobles

The threat of the vampire archduke is imminent, and Roger, who already knows that he has just slaughtered someone's cub, actually knows very well that the current Archduke Josephine has not directly killed him, just because he is still waiting for the completion of the dark canopy.

The pain of losing a child is enough for the vampire Grand Duke to let go of all his scruples and lead the army of the undead out of the nest to hunt down Roger.

In order to see the sun in the future, Roger racked his brains to find ways to enhance his own combat effectiveness.

However, it is a pity that although the elemental creatures of the Elemental Legion are indeed quite strong individually, and have all kinds of advantages that other alchemy creatures do not have, they do not know how to use various weapons and equipment at all, fighting completely by instinct.

Therefore, a large number of undead creatures seized by Roger, especially the various magical equipment of those great corpse witches, are completely useless.

You can't let the druid elders wear those magical equipment that is full of corpse decay, right? Roger felt that if he really did that, he would definitely be beaten up by Ina, who had been unsmiling.

But what Roger didn't know was that Isis, one of the druid elders, was a little timid to touch those magic white bone staffs, after all, the druid elders have always used simple oak staffs, even the elves have not been able to have the luxury of putting on high-end magic equipment for all alchemy troops, and having an ordinary magic staff like an oak staff is already a small stove for the great elder to his own soldiers.

Then Isis was taught a lesson by Ina, but Ina looked at the equipment with some envy.

The druids who advocate nature have always used rather rudimentary equipment, after all, even the elven royal family does not have much magic wood suitable for making magical equipment.

Druids dressed in animal skins and holding twigs are often ridiculed by the mages of the Nine Rings and the priests of the church as country savages, and they are completely unable to refute it.

(Phnom Penh Phantom Shooters grit silently as they hold their magic longbows.) The royal production is still different, it is the façade of the elf race! )

After his plan to bolster the Elemental Legion failed, Roger turned to other directions to increase his advantage.

For example: the location!

The chaotic terrain of the Misty Swamp meant nothing to the inanimate undead and the elemental legions as elemental bodies, except for a little more difficult to walk.

However, Roger quickly remembered a place: the castle of the dead where Count Tom and Countess Mary were stationed.

The vulgarly named Harmony, no, Bloodriver Castle.

After confirming with Melia that the castle was indeed the swamp covered by the enchantment that Roger had first discovered, Roger went straight to the camp and rushed to the castle with a swarm of everyone.

This time, all the undead sentinels along the way were killed by Roger, so that the enemy would not be able to know the news before attacking the castle of the undead.

After less than half a day's rapid march, Roger and the Elemental Legion rushed to the swamp. Roger, who had already learned from Melia's mouth that the forces in the castle had been drained by Countess Mary and Count Tom, had directly let the Elemental Legion start the siege.

When the vampires who found that the barrier had been broken and hurried to the city wall arrived, the Great Corpse Witch troops who were originally stationed at the commanding heights on the city wall, and the bone griffons who attacked according to the original order because the barrier was broken, had already acted autonomously according to the previous order because they had no commander, and as a result, they were completely wiped out under the triple series of blows of the fireball of the flame element, the lightning of the thunder element, and the ice spear of the ice element.

Seeing that the vampires were about to slip away, Roger, who had been staring at them with his [Eye of Knowledge], decisively launched a qi strategic magic: Thunderbolt Lightning!

With the blessing of the dragon bone shin armor, the golden armor, and the apprentice's wand, Roger's mana is already as high as 15 points! Roger even released the Qi Elemental Ball [Wind Randomness].

With the blessing of various strategic treasures, a huge lightning far beyond Roger's imagination directly knocked down all the vampires flying in mid-air.

The scorched vampires all fell from mid-air and fell to the ground with a "snap".

Originally, the leader of these vampires, the vampire count Abaddon who had reached level seventeen, relied on his strong strength to take this fatal blow for ordinary vampires. However, he was seriously injured because of this, and he had already discovered that there was an Elemental Legion outside the city.

Abaddon subconsciously remembered Count Tom and Countess Mary.

Although he didn't admit it, Abaddon actually knew very well, not to mention the unbeatable Tom, even Mary, who was good at blood magic, was not an opponent!

Even Bloody Mary and the Immortal Tom missed, and he didn't think he could beat the Elemental Army.

Abaddon also tried to escape death by playing dead, but he couldn't believe that the powerful strategic magic just now was cast by Roger, and subconsciously cast another thunderbolt......

The dark clouds in the sky gathered again, and Abaddon, who sensed that something was wrong, hurriedly got up, but was surprised to find that there were five high-level vampires who actually got up like him.

"You're playing dead too?" Abaddon, who cried out in surprise, disappeared into the rain of thunder along with the other five vampire nobles who were also surprised and stunned.

"You said that among those vampire nobles who just flew out and were electrocuted to ashes, the one who led the way is the current castle garrison hero?" Roger on the other side was listening to Melina's words in surprise, "Wouldn't it?" ”

"Before he even figured out the enemy, he took the lead and rushed out? This kind of death-seeking goods is actually a hero left behind? Am I overestimating the quality of the legions under the command of Archduke Josephine? ”

Melina rolled her eyes, "The most powerful under the command of Grand Duke Josephine are his own son, Count Tom, and Countess Mary, who is known as the bloody princess, and the rest of the excellent generals died when the siege of Kahada City broke through. ”

"This guy named Abaddon is actually okay with his usual behavior, but he doesn't have the same experience as Tom and Mary." Melina shook her head, "Since everything has been electrocuted to dust, there is no need for us to discuss him, and the most important thing is to clean up this castle as soon as possible." ”

Roger, who was still a little dazed in his head, directly commanded the storm elementals to fly into the city wall, and then opened the heavy city gate from the inside and lowered the drawbridge.

It can be seen that this castle of the dead has indeed been carefully built, but the castle that is obviously small makes clever use of the swamp area to form a "moat", which must be quite troublesome for the ground troops besieging the city.

The dark red moat is probably the reason why this castle is called Blood River Castle.

The more than 100 Great Corpse Witch troops and 200 Bone Griffons that had just been killed, and the 300 Great Corpse Witches and 100 Bone Griffins who were killed before, a total of more than 400 fifth-order ranged troops and 300 fourth-order ranged troops If they were dedicated to defense, even if they had a strategic magic scroll undead killer, Roger would not be sure to take this castle.

What's more, Mary and Tom also have seventh-order vampires and seventh-order wailing banshee troops under their command.

Although these battles were very smooth, but his family knew his own affairs, Roger knew very well that in fact, he was completely walking a tightrope before!

If Mary and Tom hadn't been attacked by him, they wouldn't even have to be ambushed, as long as they were pressed head-on, he would have been the one who failed.

With 300 Great Corpse Witches attacking from a distance, nearly 300 Wraiths fighting as death squads, entangled by bone griffins in the air, and flanked by vampire troops and Wailing Banshees, even if the undead killer is in hand, even if Roger can win the final victory, the troops will definitely be devastated.

However, because Mary and Tom were hit by the undead at the same time and fell to the ground with serious injuries, and then immediately killed by Tuna, the army of the undead was lost due to the loss of the hero's leadership, so Roger was able to win at a small cost.

The biggest hero is actually not Roger, but Melina, who sacrificed herself to entangle Mary at that time, which is why Roger has so much respect for her.

If Melina hadn't pestered Mary, even if Tom couldn't escape because he was entangled by Tuna, Mary, who would definitely be able to escape in time from the range of the undead killer, led the army of the undead, and would definitely be able to severely damage Roger's elemental legion.

And in the same way, if it weren't for the negligence of the left-behind heroes of the Castle of the Dead, and even the orders of the left-behind troops were not changed, Roger would not have received this Castle of the Dead so smoothly.

However, Roger once saw a sentence in a certain book: Don't put the key to victory or defeat on the fact that your enemies will make mistakes!

Perhaps the enemy's mistakes will make victory easier, but it is a joke to expect the enemy to make a series of mistakes and give up the victory.

A little joke that could be fatal.

Roger wasn't stupid enough to think that the Grand Guild of Josephine, who could make it all the way from Kahada City, was a fool.

It can be seen from the various arrangements of the Blood River Castle that the vampire archduke is definitely not an easy opponent to deal with, not to mention that Roger slaughtered his baby, and the motivation for revenge will make the vampire archduke do his best to kill him.

However, Roger was suddenly curious, why did such a powerful figure as the vampire Grand Duke, who might even become the great master of the new Blood Prince, flee from that Kahada City?

You know, in fact, many people believe that the vampire clan is the supreme masterpiece of the undead lineage. The reason is simple, maybe vampires are not as powerful as lich and death knights, but vampires still have many characteristics that only living people have: taste, smell, etc., and can even reproduce, although the probability of producing offspring is lower than that of dragons.

However, compared to the lichs, death knights, and bone dragons who can't eat, vampires who can still enjoy their food are undoubtedly happy, although vampires often suck blood to replenish their vitality. And the fact that they can produce offspring makes a group of high-level undead envious and jealous, and being able to have offspring is definitely the most envious of the vampire line.

Many lichs believe that it is precisely because the vampires are trying to find a balance between life and death that they are in such a position that they are not up or down, and that the vampires should completely throw themselves into the arms of death! In this way, you will be able to obtain a truly powerful death force!

Of course, the vampire aristocrats thought the lich was just jealous and didn't take it seriously.

Many of the elders of the Council of the Nine Rings Mages believe that vampires should be classified as "semi-undead" creatures, after all, vampires actually have life characteristics.

If you just want to "live forever", vampires are a good choice, at least for those nobles who are afraid of death and want to continue enjoying life. So in fact, vampires are one of the most famous undead races among the nobles, and many nobles have spent their blood to curry favor with these nobles in the dark night, just to be able to get a chance to live forever.

The vampire clan is also a well-known tyrant among the undead clan, even if it is an undead, it won't be difficult to get along with money, right? Lichs and necromancers and even death knights are short of money, and bone dragons love shiny gold coins. Even if the undead are good at making bone equipment, the undead powerhouses at the top level will obviously not be satisfied with those crude equipment, and truly high-end magic equipment also requires a lot of money.

Wealthy vampires have always mixed well among the undead, so the reason for Archduke Josephine's escape is worth considering.

Could it be that Archduke Josephine stole some undead artifact? Roger was genuinely curious, but his question was obviously unanswered.
