『Chapter error, click here to report』
The battle in the vampire castle was long over, Qin Changfeng held the scepter through the corpses everywhere, and Elizabeth and Michael led the people to follow.
At this time, Qin Changfeng had already changed back into the Pope's robe, and the penetrated wound on his right shoulder made it impossible for him to continue wearing armor.
He stood on the city wall and looked back at the vampire castle that had stood for hundreds of years, and the fire was already burning, like a huge crematorium...... The glory and future of vampires will be wiped out in the flames.
Werewolves weren't much better, Elizabeth was deliberately ten minutes late to attack, which brought the mutual cannibalism of werewolves and vampires to the most brutal level, not to mention...... Their leader, Lucian, has submitted to the Holy See, and the future of the werewolves seems to be predictable.
From vampire slaves to servants of the Holy See, the fate does not seem to have changed, the only difference may be that the Holy See does not define their identity as slaves, but as guardians, but there are strict restrictions on the number of races and the range of activities.
It's still like a hound, but at least it's much better than being treated in a vampire castle.
Of course...... There are still werewolves who yearn for complete freedom, but under the silver sword and crossbow, the price of freedom is blood and corpses!
"Lucian, freedom is never lawless, but living in relatively fair rules, just like a kite, it can of course fly higher and higher in the sky unscrupulously, but if there is no string to hold it, then what awaits it will only end up being self-destruction!"
On the way to gallop towards the place where William's prison was located, Qin Changfeng said to Lucian. With this werewolf leader by his side, no werewolf beast will bother them along the way.
Lucian was silent for a moment and then said, "What you say makes sense, but what I don't understand is ...... Why were it the vampires who made the rules before, but now it's you, and no werewolves have ever been involved? ”
"It's simple, because we're stronger than you!"
Qin Changfeng shrugged his right arm, held the reins with his left hand and said with a smile: "When one day you think you can defeat me, you can try to challenge me, if you win, you will have the right to make rules, but before that, you better advise your people to accept the reality, at least I see them as potential warriors, not slaves!" They fought for me, and it made sense that I gave them an equal right to live. ”
Werewolves and vampires, it is unrealistic to completely wipe out these two races in a short period of time, and they have the ability to spread the virus like weeds.
Rather than spend endless energy and time hunting them down, it is better to try to keep them in your hands, at least Lucian, the leader of the werewolves, has a fatal weakness, and his love for his wife and children makes it impossible for him to become a ruler like Victor.
Qin Changfeng is not worried that they will rebel again in the future, as long as he himself lives, his strength will become stronger and stronger, and he will soon be far above the limit of this world, what waves can they make if they rebel at that time?
Not to mention...... He couldn't let the Holy See be too comfortable, and if there was no threat at all, once he left, the Holy Light Legion might soon be corrupted and degraded in comfort.
"When you go back, you can try to build a strong friendship with Serena." When he deliberately sped up his horse speed a little and let Elizabeth stand alone with him, Qin Changfeng suddenly spoke.
Elizabeth smiled, already understanding His Majesty's intentions, and blinked her long eyelashes and smiled: "Is Your Majesty preparing to make her the new leader of the vampires?" Why are you the only one who has taken a fancy to her among so many vampire captives, it seems...... Are you special about that beautiful vampire? ”
Qin Changfeng coughed dryly, feeling a little overwhelmed, and said with a serious face: "Don't underestimate her, she will be a powerful warrior, the kind that can be compared to Michael!" ”
"Oh......" replied the beautiful blonde archbishop meaningfully, his blue eyes full of cunning.
Time passed little by little, Qin Changfeng was not worried that Marcus would reach his destination before them, because the address of the prison was extremely far away from the vampire castle, and it was hidden in the mountains, although Marcus could fly, but he would need at least a few hours to recover from his injuries after being severely injured, so he would not be able to reach it until the night passed.
And as soon as the day comes, he must hide...... Although he is a vampire ancestor, he is still afraid of the sun.
And at this time, Qin Changfeng and the others had a lot of time to rush in front of him.
William's prison was actually an abandoned castle, which is why Serena's father was able to build the prison on his own, as he had only completed the most important part of the cell.
The entrance to the castle is at the foot of the hill and is crossed by a river, so it can only be accessed by boat.
When Qin Changfeng entered the abandoned castle with more than fifty Holy Light warriors, he immediately met Thomas and the Holy Light Knights he brought on a dry platform.
After Thomas saluted, he stepped forward to help Qin Changfeng on the platform, and at the same time asked with hope: "Your Majesty, to be able to see you so soon, I think the battle over there in the vampire castle has been won?" ”
Qin Changfeng nodded and smiled: "Victor and Amelia are dead, and the vampire castle has also turned to ashes, so now just kill Marcus and William here...... The light of the Divine will soon shine on the entire earth. ”
"We are ready that both Marcus and William will be judged by the Light here!" Thomas's gaze looked at the walls around him, where his confidence came from...... A dozen small bed crossbows were mounted on them, hidden on a darkly protruding platform, each controlled by two knights of the Light, one for aiming and shooting, and one for loading a huge bolt the size of a baby's arm.
More than a dozen crossbows looked down in mid-air, locking all the space below, and the arrows were the sharpest three-edged arrows, mixed with a high proportion of silver, even if Marcus and William were continuously shot by such crossbow arrows, they had to be crucified.
The battle came much later than everyone expected, until the end of the second night, when everyone thought Marcus would not come again, he suddenly arrived.
And not from the entrance to the castle, but above their heads!
There was a loud bang inside the castle, and then I saw a splash of rubble and sawdust on the top of the castle, and a boulder smashed down, smashing through the decaying dome of the castle, revealing a hole, and then a large black shadow rushed in.
It's not Marcus, it's a bat!
Countless bats poured in like a black tornado, and then quickly turned into a carpet and wrapped themselves in the castle.
For the knights of the Holy Light, who were wrapped in armor, these bats were almost no danger, but they could block their view, and dozens of vampires took this opportunity to jump after the bats.
Obviously, these are Marcus's improvised vampire men!
Almost all of the first Knights of Light were involved in the battle against the vampire castle, so these were basically recruits brought by Thomas who had only been trained for four or five months, and although the equipment was still luxurious, it could not hide the fact that they lacked training and had weak combat experience.
When the enemy did not enter at the entrance as they expected, but appeared directly overhead, the knights on the platform who had been waiting for them immediately fell into confusion.
Qin Changfeng stood in the center of the platform with his scepter, coldly ignoring the surrounding situation, he only cared about Marcus's figure.
Suddenly, after dozens of vampires entangled the Knights of Light, an ugly figure with his back to the moon and volleyed down from the hole, it was Marcus.
He flapped his huge bat wings and stayed in the air for a moment, then he saw the direction he had come from, and scurried towards a stone tunnel half-hidden in the river, not caring for the vampires who were in a bitter battle.
"Your Majesty, do you want to launch?" Thomas said as he stared at Marcus' back, referring to the bed crossbow hidden in the darkness.
"No," Qin Changfeng waved his hand and said, "Deal with these bats and vampires, and launch them when he comes out of the corridor." ”
Thomas nodded, and also reacted, at that time, if he launched a surprise attack, the hit rate would be much higher, because the space for Marcus to dodge in the corridor would be greatly restricted by the stone wall.
"Despicable and cowardly humans, die!" A vampire rushed forward, slashing down with a large sword in both hands.
Qin Changfeng sighed slightly in his heart, the recruits were really still useless, if the first batch of Holy Light Knights led by Michael were here, even if there were only ten people, it would be impossible for the enemy to rush in front of him.
Poof!
The gallant vampire warrior whose head was smashed in the head by a huge palm was the transformed Lucian, his majestic body stood out from the crowd, he roared with rage, showing off his strength so recklessly, that no vampire could stop his furious attacks.
On the way here, he understood from Qin Changfeng's words the value of the werewolf clan's existence in the years to come—fighting!
Qin Changfeng looked at Lucian's violent back, and suddenly said to Elizabeth beside him: "Archbishop, if I leave this world one day, do you have the confidence to control such a fierce beast?" ”
"Leave?" At the hearing of this word, the beautiful archbishop shuddered, and an indescribable fear welled up in her heart, which she could not imagine...... What would her fate be without the man by her side?
Just as she was frightened and helpless, a strong arm suddenly wrapped around her bee's waist, and she was embraced by a broad chest.
Naturally, only His Majesty the Pope dared to do this, although the reserved Pope His Majesty did not say anything comforting, but it still made her feel at ease......
