Chapter 577: Vampire Realm
Farainen must be thankful that he knew a few vampires in his early years.
Vampires are very uncommon in human society, but there are quite a few of them. Because they are almost indistinguishable from humans in appearance, they are easy to hide. And they feed on the blood of living beings, especially human blood, which they love the most, so it is quite normal for human society to be mixed with vampires.
Not to mention the western realm, even in Wei City, and even in Jinyang Pass further east, some traces of vampires can occasionally be found.
And in general, vampires who live with humans are quite low-key. Otherwise, if you are caught, you will have to escape if you don't die.
The Western Frontier is the hardest hit area by the proliferation of vampires. For no other reason, it's because of the Conrad dynasty, just west of the West.
Vampires also have their own kingdom, and they call their kingdom 'the kingdom of eternal life'.
The history of the vampire kingdom is much longer than that of the kingdom of Westom.
Hundreds of years ago, before the establishment of the Kingdom of Westom, the kingdom of vampires once expanded to the entire West, even including the North and the current location of the City of West. They are one of the main enemies of His Majesty Salah, the 'Hero King', who established the Kingdom of Westdum from scratch.
The Hargreaves family, which originated in the West, was originally the spokesperson for the vampires among humans, and even a mixed family of vampires and humans themselves. It's just that, under the inspiration of the Hero King, they cleansed the pro-vampire faction within them at that time and completely turned to the human side. Theon Hargreaves, the first Duke of the Westlands and the most famous vampire nemesis of his time, is a well-known hero of the kingdom.
The heroic king, united with the Jiang family and the Hargreaves family, won consecutive battles in the west, completely expelled the power of the vampire country, and was bounded by the Asikrin Mountains, Wisdum in the east, and the vampire's lair in the west.
The defeat in the East even led directly to the fall of the Hohentauven dynasty in the vampire kingdom at that time, and another young but powerful family took the opportunity to ascend to the throne, thus the vampires began the era of the Conrad dynasty.
- It is worth mentioning that one of the bloodlines of the Hohentauven family died at the hands of Levi. When they were training at headquarters, the one that was destroyed at Walton was.
After replacing the Hohentauven dynasty, the Conrad dynasty never gave up its peep into the kingdom of Westdum. It's just that the power of the vampires has been inferior to that of the human kingdom for most of the past few hundred years.
The vampires have invaded the kingdom several times, but each time they are in the West, they are driven back by the Hargreaves family, who have the support of the kingdom.
In addition to the difference in overall strength between the two sides, there is another very important problem that the vampires can't fight: when the Kingdom of Westdum was first established, the heroic king Salah and Theon Hargreaves, two legendary powerhouses, left a huge magic circle on the border between the two countries, that is, in the Asiklin Mountains.
The power of this magic circle is specifically aimed at the undead, under the suppression of this demonic array, any undead creature standing in the Ascikrin Mountain Range, as well as the surrounding area of the Ascikrin Mountain Range for one or two hundred kilometers, will be suppressed by this huge demonic array, resulting in a decrease in strength.
The vampires themselves are very strongly suppressed by this, not to mention, their 'people' are all zombies, skeletons, ghosts and other undead creatures, all of which will be affected by the Demon Pattern Array.
This Demon Pattern Array is also the key to the human race being able to hold the Asikrin Mountains with a small number of troops.
Even if the vampire prince at the conceptual level comes, in this mountain range, it may be similar to a truth element. And a big nobleman like Duke Edward, who can rank sixth on the factor list, standing in this mountain range, exerts strength that is afraid of being an ordinary element level.
Even the top combat power has been affected so much, let alone ordinary undead creatures. In this environment, a human soldier carrying a repeating rifle is estimated to be able to wipe out a team of undead by himself.
And it is not an easy thing to disarm this magic pattern array.
It took the vampires a long time to figure out how to unravel the array.
The direct bloodline of the Vislares family, the direct bloodline of the Hargreaves family, this is indispensable. If not, how could they have the leisure to go to the valley of Saint-Boren to save Farenin?
In the early years, when Farainen was young and his life was still very profligate, he met a vampire baroness.
He is also bold and has a strong taste, and he dares to go to the vampire's bed.
The baroness did not dare to bite him or kill him. One is that Farenin's own strength is at the level of the fifth chain, and it is not so easy to kill; The second is that this kid is still more life-saving, and when he gets on the vampire, he still takes the guards to watch from the side.
It can be said that it is very strange.
He wasn't really going to go for vampires. How is it possible to be the first in line to the throne of the Hargreaves family?
He's just a little bit of a curiosity, and the vampires do enjoy life — especially in wine and art. So it's normal for him to have intimate relationships with some vampires.
You know, a vampire's palate can only perceive two things: blood and red wine. Art, on the other hand, is their other interest.
After his father's death in Iris Palace and Farenin's imprisonment, the vampires found him again, and it was the Duke of Edward.
He knew that the vampires wanted to use him to enter the western realm and take advantage of the internal strife in the kingdom to launch the next invasion.
In the past, the Hargreaves were the guardians of the West. But now...... Farainen just wanted to live.
The Hargreaves family originally had nine elemental powerhouses, but most of them were led by Marshal Cavon at the Truth Elemental level, who was brought to Westdom by Duke Norsman.
There are only four remaining masters in the Saint-Boren Valley. Among them, three of them led their families' troops to Westdum to support when the Great Revolution broke out in the lower districts of Westdum.
Outcome...... On the way, he was intercepted by the Holy Cult Army in Glorious City, and all three elements were killed in battle, and most of the tens of thousands of soldiers became prisoners of the Holy Cult, and they are still locked up and not released.
The Hargreaves family, which was originally strong, even worse than the Chiang family, is now at its weakest. There was only one elemental powerhouse left, who was killed by Duke Edward himself.
