Over the streets of Hansha City, the sky full of bloody night bats seemed to be getting more and more excited.

Since the king himself ordered a curfew, there should be no one on the street at this time, but at the crossroads in front of a bazaar, two women and a man were lying on the ground, motionless.

An unusual force trapped them in their sleep.

In fact, not just the three of them, within a radius of 1,000 meters from the church of Somendil, all the inhabitants of this area covered by the invisible sonar of bats fell into a deep sleep that could not be awakened.

However, not everyone in this area is asleep either. There was a young man, right in the birthplace of the "sleeping sonar", the church of Somendil, who endured great pain and fought alone.

"Where are you, where are you, get out! Get out of here!"

In the darkness without a glimmer of light, Ray aimlessly brandished his steel spear. He couldn't see where the enemy was, and although the guns were getting faster and faster, they never hit the target, and Ray seemed to have nothing to do but hysterical swearing.

"Yikes!"

Ray felt a sharp pain in his calf and abdomen, and he flipped his spear and swept it towards the place where the pain had come from, but the bat that had bitten him had fled long before the handle of the gun could be swept away.

"Ahh

This time the attack was on the neck, and Ray's left hand only caught air, but the bat that committed the crime left two small blood holes.

More and more bats are besieging the thunder from all sides.

The lights in the church have long since been extinguished, and the countless bats surrounding the church have closed the windows, and the moonlight cannot shine in at all. Now Ray is not only unable to see, but because of the noise of bats flapping their wings too much, his hearing is disturbed by Yan zhòng, he is unable to drive away or hit any of the bats, but those bats rely on sound waves that humans cannot hear to identify their positions, come and go freely in the dark, perfectly dodging any of Ray's attacks, and then attacking Ray from the angle of defense emptiness.

In less than ten minutes, in addition to the place under the protection of the battle armor, Lei had been bitten and scratched by bats in dozens of places all over his body, and he had already become a bloody man, and the strong smell of blood attracted more bats to besiege him.

Finally, Ray couldn't hold it anymore. He inadvertently kicked a dried corpse on the floor, and his unyielding body lost its center of gravity and fell forward, and the steel gun in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang".

At the same time, the bats besieging Ray all left Ray's side as if they had been ordered at the same time, the sound of their wings flapping disappeared, and the church immediately fell silent again. But Ray knew that the bats weren't really gone, they were just hiding in some corner of the church.

"Do you feel tightness in your chest, dizziness, or pain in your limbs?" said Melissa's cold voice in the silence, "My people, these Blood Night bats contain toxins in their saliva, and they should be starting to attack by now." ”

"Poisonous?" thunder was shocked.

"That's right. So don't move now. The more you move your body, the faster the toxins will spread through your body and the more intense your pain will be. But you don't have to worry, because these poisons are not deadly, as long as you stay still for 24 hours, they will slowly disperse and eventually be excreted with your sweat. If you move a little, the medicine stone is difficult to treat. In the darkness, it was impossible to discern the direction from which Melissa's voice came, and the end of her every sentence echoed in the church.

"An An's share, hum, what are you kidding?" Lei stubbornly straightened up, and sure enough, as soon as he moved, the feeling of chest tightness, dizziness, and pain in his limbs that Melissa said suddenly became obvious, but he gritted his teeth and stoiced, "This is Sophia's home, will I watch you kill everyone?"

"You've fallen, and no matter how stupid you are, you should understand the difference in strength between you. For the sake of having so much fun with me just now, I will spare your life for the time being. Don't let me change my mind. Melissa's tone was more of a mockery than a threat.

"No! I will stand up even if I fall ten, fifty, or a hundred times before I knock you down completely!" Ray did not hesitate to refuse his opponent's "pardon".

"You ......" Melissa's voice revealed her disappointment, Ray's stubbornness reminded her of someone from more than 200 years ago, and after a pause of two seconds, her tone became cold, "Go, my people, gnaw his flesh to nothing!"

"Whew...... Pu Pu Pu ......"

The hundreds of bloody night bats hanging upside down in the church, after receiving Melissa's order, spread their wings and fluttered their wings and pounced on the thunder from all directions......

The Imperial Study.

There was a fierce battle between the two kings, but there was no smoke and no bloodshed.

The opening ended in a round of snatching and entered the stalemate phase of the middle game. Most of the "infantry" on both sides had advanced to the forefront, and a small area in the middle of the chessboard had become the most brutal Shura field.

Since the board has only 64 squares, and half of the 32 pieces on both sides have already taken up half of it, whoever can control the other 32 squares more in the opening game will have the initiative in the whole game.

"Good chess skills!Whether in my human life or after becoming a blood clan, there are less than 6 guys who can match me on the chessboard, and you are one of them. The Vampire Prince, who was holding the black chess, praised as he pushed the "infantry" on the A-line, which had not yet moved, forward two squares.

In the long lost history of the ancient Mishura Empire, it seems that there was a prince named "Edward" who was an excellent chess player.

"My chess skills are not worth mentioning at all. There was one man who was better than me, and I had never beaten him in chess. Douris, who commanded White, also pushed his "infantry" on the A-line forward two squares, just right against Black's "infantry" and prevented it from continuing to advance.

"Oh?" the Prince's tone was expectant, and at the same time, Black's "knight" jumped out.

"My eldest brother, Charlottes, is a former Emperor of the Franco-Yale Empire. Instead of copying Black's routine, White moved another "infantryman" in the middle to consolidate the defense in the middle.

"The one who fell in the Tower of the Seven Sins?" another Black "knight" also took the command.

In the past few days, the Vampire Prince had heard Duris mention the Tower that most likely had something to do with his son.

"Brother Great Emperor, he won every game of chess, but in the end he lost his soul, and dragged the country step by step into the abyss of no return. One of White's "bishops" in Black's attack range stepped back.

"I have never met your eldest brother of the emperor, but I also know that you are different from him, you are a monarch who loves his subjects deeply, and it can be seen from your fall: even if you can gain a greater advantage, you are reluctant to give up a chess piece unless you have to. One of Black's "castles" moves out and aims at White's "castles" on the opposite baseline.

Both "castles" are located next to their own "queen", and if either side attacks the other first, they will be slashed by the "queen" of the other side, so there is actually nothing to lose on either side, but as the prince said, the cherished son moved his "castle" to avoid a lose-lose fight.

"That's why I've been losing to Brother Great. He is decisive in abandoning his son and quick in his fall, but he is not as muddy as me. Duris laughed at herself.

"Statecraft cannot be compared entirely with a chess game. If you lose a game of chess, you can start again, but if there is a slight difference between the governance of the country, it is the whole country that loses. The prince said as he directed the "knights" to invade White's territory.

"But my eldest brother doesn't think so, he prides himself on his mastery of chess, and never thinks he will lose, even if he puts the fate of the entire empire on the chessboard. Duris mobilized the "Bishop" to bring the brave "knight" into the attack.

"I'm not talking about your eldest brother, I'm talking about Melissa. Black's center line advances one square with an "infantry" to provide support for the advancing "knights".

"Where's Melissa?" asked Duris rhetorically, to make sure he hadn't heard him wrong.

On the board, one of White's "infantry" in the center line goes diagonally up and leaps over Black's "infantry" to support the "knight", but is quickly defeated by Black's "bishop". In this back-and-forth attack, the black and white sides each lost one "infantry", which can be said to be evenly matched. This is a last resort, because if Black's "infantry" occupies that position for a long time, White will lose at least four squares of influence.

"That's right. The reason why Melissa is called the 'Bat Queen' is not for nothing. Because she was once the empress who ruled a country, and all the bats under her rule were once her citizens. ”

Speaking of which, the vampire prince picks up his "queen" - the most powerful chess piece, and is finally about to strike.
