Healed/cursed Vivien Tablis in the morning, perfunctory Imperial envoy Greg at noon, won three Grand Prix in the afternoon, and unexpectedly received an invitation to the "Trial of the Five Virtues of Knights" in the evening.

Now that Shen Yan had been selected, he could almost book the legendary Super Cool Silver Sword (the final reward of the trial) "Sword of the Lake Maiden" in advance, which was supposed to be a perfect day.

However, when the moonlight rose in the sky, looking at the silver edge stained with blood, Shen Yan couldn't help but say "Fake"!

"Fack!" , The hermit in the lake who was walking on the road also burst into foul language. "Why today? Why tonight? Why Dover? She pulled out the "Sword of the Lake Maiden" that hung from her waist and turned towards Dover Manor.

In the night, the sword light is straight, as bright as autumn water.

When ...... Fark walked out of the deserted Silver Salamander Inn, Ciri also saw the blood moon slowly rising in the sky. "What the hell is Tousent?" She flew on her horse, "Swallow Swallow hurry up, let's go see if we can help." ”

Ciri is like that, even when she is on the run, she still has a heart to help others.

*****

The sky has changed.

A second ago, the sun was setting, and the golden twilight was shining on the village road, accompanied by people who had been singing and dancing all day.

In the next second, the blood moon rose, and the cold hues invaded the land!

The shadows of the trees stretched out like fangs in the night, and the swaggering darkness fluttered and writhed in the sky, like a group of demons dancing! The black pressure flying in the sky is not a flock of crows and birds that return late, but a flock of bats! The black mist that roamed the wilderness flickered wildly, then coalesced into monsters in the moonlight.

Proto-Winged Bat Demon, Vampire Girl, Bat Wing Demon, Ugly Tumor Brain Demon, Blood Demon ......

A blood-sucking feast is coming.

Shen Yan looked at the sky and the scum was broken, because it was obviously for him and Dover Manor! The autumn carnival, which was not easy to conclude successfully, has now been turned into a miasma!

"Vampires, you've me off!" He said angrily.

Shen Yan already knew that behind the Duchy of Taocente was a group of ancient vampires.

Calling themselves the "Shadow Elders", they influence this small nation in the shadows and see it as the perfect place to live. Red wine is their symbol, and the Shadow Elders have played a key role in the annexation crises that the Duchy of Touscent has inexplicably avoided several times in its history. The "Shadow Elders" claim to be the true masters of the country, but in fact they are in a completely symbiotic relationship with Towcent. Once exposed, and without even Nilfgaard's action, the Academy of Magic has the ability to crush them.

If they had been hiding in the shadows, Shen Yan would not have bothered to bother with such idle matters, and it would be thankless to dig up the creatures rooted in the entire country.

Anyway, ordinary people are always controlled by something, either bureaucrats, capitalists, warlords, drug dealers, news companies, Internet giants...... In short, ordinary people have never had the right to choose the life they want.

But now it's not Shen Yan who is looking for them, but they are the first to find Shen Yan's trouble, which is absolutely unbearable!

He looked up, and the clouds obscured the moonlight, but it wasn't clouds, it was an endless stream of vampire bats!

Shen Yan raised his hand to the sky, and with a "bang", five bright flares flew into the sky, illuminating the four fields.

He reversed Ignath's Flame Missile into a light element, and when the missile arced and fell, it scared the light-phobic bats into turning around. The bright light forms a pentagonal shroud that covers the Dover estate and the surrounding land, temporarily blocking out the sky as black clouds weigh down.

But farther away, beyond his power to stop, the killing had already begun. The pedestrians who hurried were dragged into the cave by the bats that pounced, and in a moment they gnawed into a pile of bones; The naked vampire woman picks the man's chin with her fingers, and little by little she pierces her nails into her brain in her misty eyes; The batwing demon sucks up the blood and transforms into a bat in search of its next target......

"Everyone immediately took refuge in the cellar of the estate, where it was safe! Those who can't make it to the house try to hide in their homes, lock their doors and windows, and never go out! Shen Yan's magically enhanced voice was deafening in the distance, enough for everyone within a radius of more than ten miles to hear it.

"Futi, I'll leave this place to you for the time being, and arrange for those people to take refuge in the cellar as soon as possible...... Take care of your own safety! I don't want to lose you because of them! Shen Yan turned his head and instructed Futi who was following behind him, and Futi nodded gratefully!

He had been to the cellar and knew that there were not only domesticated monsters such as the Qiqi Demon in the cellar, but also a deeper laboratory hidden under the cellar. The room was in and out through a teleportation array, and it couldn't have been safer, and it was safe to hide in the cellar.

After Futi left, Shen Yan turned his head to look at the more than forty Kunpeng people who had gathered, "Go and help...... Then arrange a position around the manor, and kill as many as I can! Calculate the points. ”

"Yes!"

*****

When the blood moon rises, the party in Dover is about to disperse.

The woman and the children were being driven home to cook, and they were walking home step by step. And the men, while telling them to hurry up, and hypocritically promising to go back immediately, are actually itching and waiting for the night to officially begin—drinking, gambling, and rolling on the female branch girls, which is the main meal of the carnival.

With this, who will go home?

Then disaster struck!

When a little girl is dragged away by a bat-type monster that pounces down, everyone freezes in fright. They were just ordinary farmers, the kind of people who would scream and run away when they saw a water ghost. The batwing demon quacked triumphantly, and instead of simply flying away to enjoy his meal, he grabbed the crying little girl and flew around the square, and everywhere he went, the crowd wailed and fled like wolves into the chicken pen.

Until it flew over the tall wooden frame in front of the square...... it made a "poof"! A gleaming steel arrow pierced its forehead and pinned the batwing demon to the wooden frame!

The little girl who fell down crying was caught by a running shadow. Although the squirrel party in this world is also called elves, they are completely degenerate breeds compared to the elves from Kunpeng, so it's no wonder that Ain El doesn't recognize them. Don't look at the class level of these elves, they are only level six, but when they run, they are as fast as a breeze in the night.

At this time, Shen Yan's flares and shouts arrived—similar to what he had imagined, except for a few reasonable people, these medieval farmers did not listen to him at all, but were like a flock of fried ducks, scurrying around without hesitation.

Fortunately, the elves sent arrived at the scene at this time. Ignoring the blood-sucking monsters flying in the sky, and ignoring the able-bodied men, they stared at the elderly, women, and children, grabbed one and carried it and ran towards the Dover Manor. Seeing that something had happened to his wife and children, the men with their heads covered finally regained a little sense, shouting "let go of my wife/child/mother", and ran into the manor after him.

Throwing the "hostage" to Futi, the elves pushed open the shoe racks, lifted the manhole covers, and dragged out a large number of military weapons from behind! In an instant, he armed himself to the teeth, and then began to tear down houses to build defenses.

Futi: ......

Although sixty percent of the people managed to hide in the manor, and one or two percent were probably able to hide after the disaster, many people could only watch the monsters be torn apart and eaten. From beginning to end, Shen Yan stood on the roof at the highest point of the manor, staring at it all, including the death of some people.

Shen Yan's heart has no waves, he is not a god, he can't save everyone, he can only do his best.

Shen Yan saw the emperor's secret envoy Greg, who was already drunk, but still shouting, "Give me a sword, Your Majesty's wine is still in the courtyard, I want to protect them." This guy claims to be brave and loyal, but in fact he uses the pretending to be drunk as an excuse, and he plays all the carnival projects during the day. In the final deciding set of Shen Yandou's landlord competition, the opponent was him.

Shen Yan also saw Vivien Tablis helping to sort out the people below. She is actually a good girl, and in real history, she should have refused to transfer the curse to others, and chose to live only seven years like the golden warbler. She then left the Duchy of Towcente and chose to travel the world in the last days of her life. Geralt later met her in many places, and Vivien had the extraordinary courage to face life and death.

And then there's the "skinny elf" who hides in the crowd of the Kunpeng people and wears a mask with a big flower-faced face, which is his disciple Nikita...... After some emotional setbacks, she wandered around as a mercenary, agent, and killer, and her dagger was less than a centimeter away from Sandy Constance's neck. If it weren't for Sandi's efforts to prove that he was Shen Yan's friend, the current Swan Archon would have been cold a long time ago...... I don't know how she got into a group of sixth-level newcomers and passed through the portal.

It's a pity that she wants to hide Shen Yan from her eyelids, it's still too difficult.

*****

The sky was almost obscured by swirling bats.

While Shen Yan was looking around, the four-headed Primordial Winged Bat Demon suddenly burst out of the shadows from all corners of the manor. They passed through the air like lightning, and dozens of chopstick-long claws shone with cold light, and they all grabbed at Shen Yan who was standing on the roof! The timing was just right.

It's a pity that Shen Yan has been waiting for the main messenger behind the scenes to appear, and he didn't pay attention to them at all. His left hand was frozen in the air, and the proto-winged bat demon flying from the side was frozen in the air! The resistance of vampire monsters is very high, but it is not worth mentioning in the face of sub-divine power. The extreme cold penetrates the texture from the outside to the inside, instantly wiping out all vitality! The Primordial Winged Bat Demon glowed blue under its scales, and its wings lost lift and fell from the sky like a stone.

smashed on the stone floor of the courtyard, and there was a "bang" and shattered all over the ground.

The next moment, the Tosson Steel Sword appeared in his palm, and the golden rainbow on the ground suddenly lit up! I only heard the sound of the fire, and a large handful of fire trees and silver flowers splashed in the night sky, and the claws of the six bats that rushed in were actually cut off by a sword!

"Catch!" There was a clap from below, and several hook sickles flicked up, tearing a clawed bat demon off the roof! A dwarf swooped up and crushed the bat demon with the big shield in his hand, and five or six elves thrust their long swords under the shield with all their might!

Several people have a clear division of labor, the one with the shield only holds it down, and the one with the sword only thrusts! The red blood gushed out from under the shield like a fountain, and the Primordial Winged Bat Demon struggled and howled, but it was firmly suppressed from beginning to end, and the nest of death was incomparably curled!

Shen Yan's long sword cut open the fangs of the bite, opened the gap, and was about to slash at the neck of the other bat demon with his backhand...... Seeing that they couldn't do it, the two bats suddenly jumped off the roof together and turned into a large swarm of bats! Those bats blended into the group of bats in the sky and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"It turns out that these bats are not only annoying, but also have this effect? We seem to be underestimated, give them some color! Shen Yan said. Another "Shen Yan" walked out from behind Shen Yan and nodded towards the main body. "Leave it to me."

"Shen Yan" took out the staff with his left hand, drank a bottle of acceleration potion with his right hand, and then the magic light of Dapeng flashed from the doppelganger!

He raised his hand and held it in a flash, and six fireballs appeared out of thin air, swirling around the clone. Immediately, the clone raised his staff, and fireballs and poisonous clouds flew out of his hands one after another like rapid-fire anti-aircraft cannons, and continuously bombarded the "dark clouds" in the sky!

Primordial Winged Bat Demon, Vampire Girl, Ugly Tumor Brain Demon, Blood Demon ...... Even vampires, a series of blood-sucking creatures, are extremely difficult to kill completely. The reason is that first of all, they can temporarily turn into black fog and are completely immune to physical damage; Secondly, when it is fatally hit, the vampire monsters can also turn into bats and scatter and escape. As long as one bat survives, it can save its life.

Even further, after these monsters summon thousands of bats, they hide in the bats and wait for a sneak attack, which is simply unguardable!

It's a pity that they met Shen Yan this time......

One of the weaknesses that is not a weakness of dispersing into a swarm of bats is that after dispersion, the vitality of each bat is only about a few tenths of the main body. This is no problem in normal times, but when you encounter the "Fireball Technique" and the "Death Cloud Technique", which are designed to kill large areas, it is like a bug encountering an insecticide...... The fireball ignited the fluff and grease on the bats, and the burning bats screamed and fled, rampaging the paper through the swarm of bats, setting more bats on fire.

And the clouds of death flew and spread, as long as the vampire bat it touched, it would be killed instantly, and the corpse of the bat fell from the sky like a downpour!

Shen Yan fought with a sword in front of him, the sword light was like a snowflake, like a city, and a sword stopped dozens of flying monsters outside!

The clone hides behind and turns into a humanoid battery, killing mercilessly!

Downstairs, whether it was the Kunpeng people who stopped at the door or the residents hiding in the building, they were all stunned when they saw this crazy scene. Hundreds of people opened their mouths wide at the same time, babbling exclamations, but not one of them could utter a complete sentence.

Hundreds of bat corpses fell down overwhelmingly, burying a thick layer on the manor floor. The craziest dreams have never seen such a scene, and the scene is so terrifying that even the people of Kunpeng will shrink themselves under the eaves, not daring to be hit by a bat corpse.

Suddenly, it seemed as if the sky was brightening, and the translucent blood moon was hanging high again.

The endless swarm of bats was slaughtered alive, and the two Shen Yan stood back to back, their left staff and right sword, proud of the sky.
