The Hydra Lizard was destroyed, and the magic cast by it gradually lost its effect, and the swamp disappeared little by little, returning to its original Black Rock surface.

Even if the surface can be restored, the wounds inflicted by the hydra lizard will not disappear.

The squadron that entered the Blood Mountains with Owen and Cassius suffered more than two-thirds of the casualties, excluding the seriously wounded, and now there were less than 80 men left who could fight, less than the size of a squad.

The hearts of the commanders and the surviving soldiers were quite heavy. Although casualties are inevitable during combat missions, they are also colleagues and comrades-in-arms who live and train with them, and they were alive and kicking half a day ago, but now most of them have turned into cold corpses. Who will still feel the joy of victory? And now it is far from "victory".

In addition, the loss of personnel is not the biggest blow, what is even more serious is that the crossbowman's arrows are almost empty, the silver powder, garlic juice and other items to restrain the vampires are almost exhausted, the priest's magic power is also almost consumed, and some manpower has to be allocated to protect and care for the wounded, how much combat power is left in this army now? How many times can it resist the vampire's blows?

Everyone knows it, but they know each other.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of "fluttering" in the sky. There is only one creature that can fly in the magical barrier of the Blood Mountains. When the six Blood Night Bats descended on the low sky, the soldiers suddenly became nervous. Before coming to the Blood Mountains, these humans had already heard that vampires had the ability to transform into bats, and the previous battle of Tongguò confirmed this, and now with this broken and tired army against 6 vampires at the same time, how many people would be left even if they won?

Frustration quickly spread through the ranks.

Perceiving the soldiers' concerns, Owen calmly said something hopeful to everyone: "Brethren, take it easy. There was only one vampire, and the others were real bats. ”

Before Owen's words could be confirmed, the bat flying at the front had landed on the ground, and the distorted glow of miserable green magic enveloped its body, gradually amplifying until it took on the human form of a vampire. It was a tall man, dressed in a long and floor-length white trench coat with a wavy pattern on the left chest of the trench coat, vaguely forming an "F" letter, black broken hair, a miserable white complexion, green eyes, and a light blue stain in the form of teardrops on the left side of the face.

Cassius poured magic into his staff, and the commander pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword, staring warily at the comer. Because they felt a much stronger aura from this man than all the vampires they had encountered before.

"Who are you?" the commander shouted with his sword.

Owen slammed his sword down, "Don't get excited. Although this guy is full of murderous aura, his murderous aura has been suppressed, and he will not pose a danger to us for the time being. ”

"You want to ask my name, you are not qualified enough. Silver-haired boy, you should be glad you're right, I'm not here to fight, otherwise you'll all be dried corpses. The man said in a deep voice.

"Not here to fight?" Cassius looked at Owen in confusion and then at the comer in confusion.

The man in the white trench coat was standing where Hydra had been killed, in the middle of the formation, but the magic sentry that had lost its magic power could no longer pose any threat to him. The man's left palm was facing the sky, and he slowly lifted it up, and a small crystal-like ball on the ground that emitted an earthy yellow light slowly floated up, and finally landed in his palm.

"That's the core of the beast, the Crystal Nucleus!" Cassius certainly recognized what it was. He could probably guess what the vampire was for, "not to fight."

"Dawning Villa specially sent a mid-level vampire, probably not just to recover the magic crystal nucleus of a hydra lizard, you have other jobs. Owen sat back and watched as the other party completely recovered the magic crystal nucleus, and at the same time revealed other information that neither the commander nor Cassius could see.

Although Cassius and the Commander didn't know much about the internal structure of the vampire, they immediately understood what the heavy pressure they felt from this man when they heard this new term come out of Owen's mouth.

As if in response to Owen's words, the other party snorted coldly, and he put Hydra's magic crystal core into the pocket of his white trench coat, and waved his hand back. The five Blood Night bats hovering behind him formed a circular formation, flying vertically in mid-air, forming a large circle with a radius of 1 meter.

Cassius had seen many spatial portals, but it was the first time he had seen a portal made of living creatures like this, and he stood on the spot.

"One step further is Hades. I'm just leading the way. Before he could speak, the vampire turned and stepped into the portal.

"Lead the way, just lead the way?" the other party made it so mysterious that the commander was a little angry.

"Sir. Owen patted the champion knight on the shoulder and said, "Before the sun goes down, please hurry up and lead your men home, your mission is complete." You don't have to follow us any longer. ”

"But, Your Majesty's will, Lord Lord's order...... Actually, the commander didn't want to face those vampires and terrible monsters anymore, but the sense of honor as a soldier made it impossible for him to do anything to retreat.

"Listen to me. Owen inspired, "I am both saddened and grateful for the sacrifices of my brothers, but at this point there is no need for any more sacrifices. With all due respect, the brothers who survived were the best soldiers, and you would be able to build a stronger team with them as the backbone, and if they were all wiped out here, there would be no future. ”

Seeing that the commander's expression seemed to be loosened, Owen knew that he was afraid that the words would reach the other party's heart, as an officer leading the troops, who wouldn't want to lead a strong army?

"Take care, we'll see you again in the future. The commander was still undecided, and Owen had already decided, "Cassius, go. With that, he stepped into the portal with his feet raised, and disappeared into the distorted space in an instant.

Cassius nodded his thanks to the commanders and soldiers who had fought so far, and then turned and followed Owen into the portal. After the two entered, the five Blood Night Bats that maintained the portal flew away, and the portal disappeared without a trace. Only the dazed soldiers remained on the ground and looked at each other.

It was unknown whether the champion knight would return with his men, but Cassius only felt a dazzle in front of him, and the uncomfortable feeling lasted for two or three seconds before Cassius felt the light outside his eyelids soften. Since it wasn't a forced teleportation, he didn't lose consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes, and found himself on a dark, cold, but fairly clean forest path, and the man in front of him was Owen, and in front of Owen was the white trench coat vampire who had led the two of them here.

The vampire didn't look at them, but walked straight ahead, and Owen followed alongside Cassius. Compared to Owen's composure, Cassius's heart was full of vigilance, and he never dissolved the magic condensed on the staff. The two were 4 or 5 meters away from the vampire and followed unhurriedly.

"You were smart enough not to bring in the soldiers who were in the way. The vampire's deep voice broke the silence first.

"For Dawning Villa, not to mention a squadron, even a regiment will not help. Owen replied indifferently, "I think you'd like me to bring those soldiers with you, because for you vampires, those living people are like walking blood bags, your favorite supplements." ”

"Ridiculous. Do you think you two would be able to survive without those supplements?"

"It's just about people. Zimbevank. ”

"What did you say?" Hearing Owen say his name accurately, the vampire snapped on the spot, and couldn't help but slow down.

"Although you refuse to give your name, I can know who you are. Among you vampires, the 8 upper blood clans known as the Eight Sages have supreme power, and they have the right to choose lieutenants from among the middle blood clans to serve as their cronies. Some sages have only one lieutenant, some have multiple lieutenants, and some have no lieutenants, among which the sage with the largest number of lieutenants is named Eurome. For more than a thousand years, Orom appointed 42 adjutants, including those who died, but he kept the number of aide-camps at 26 for a long time, because he used the order of letters A to Z as the code names of his lieutenants. Your clothes, and the 'f' on your clothes, are so obvious that it's not hard to guess who you are, and you're Orom's sixth-ranked lieutenant: Zimbevank. As he spoke, Owen's footsteps had already caught up behind Zimbevank. Owen's speed didn't deliberately speed up, but Zimbevank unconsciously slowed down.

"Who the hell are you?" Although vampires should not have a feeling of fear, but there are no other words to describe Zimbevank's mood at this time, this human boy who doesn't seem to have any magic fluctuations and is so ordinary that he can't be more ordinary, why would he know the whole thing about the blood clan? Zinbevank no longer has the arrogance he used to be, although he has not yet fought with the other party, he vaguely perceives that once he moves, he has no chance of winning at all.

It's not just Zimbevank who finds it incredible, but also Cassius as an ally. Owen, what other secrets do you have?

"Why don't you leave, aren't you going to lead the way for the two of us?" Owen reminded as he walked up to Zimbevank and smiled harmlessly.

The scene of the three of them walking in the forest path was captured by the Blood Night Bat in charge of monitoring, and then teleported to the three-dimensional magic image in the council hall. But such magical images have only pictures, no sounds.

The only person who can hear the sound is one person: the Eight Sages Orome, who symbolizes "knowledge".

Through the silver mirror perched on his ear, Orome clearly heard the conversation between the two invaders and his lieutenant. "Hehe, this research material is becoming more and more valuable for research. A sinister smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of his mouth.
