"You mean, it's possible that this woman has something to do with this copy that suddenly appeared?" Ye Weiqi asked vigilantly.

"That's right, although I'm not completely sure, but this woman came out of nowhere after all, so it's always right for us to defend the embankment, right?"

"You're right! I'll keep an eye on her and kill her as soon as something goes wrong! ”

"'' off?" I looked at Ye Weiqi's lower body with disdain.

Ye Weiqi sighed and changed the subject: "So, what are your plans next?" ”

"What's next?" I laughed and said, "Showtime, of course!" Time to Kill! ”

……

In the council hall in the vampire castle, all twelve councillors are present, and at the top are the three elders, Victor, Marcus, and Emilia.

Victor glanced indifferently at all the councillors and asked calmly, "How is it?" Do you have any objections to my handling of mercenaries in this way? ”

One of the councilwomen stood up and said, "My lord, since you don't trust them, why didn't you just send them to attack Lucian?" Isn't it a good thing for you that either side loses its troops? ”

Victor shook his head lightly and said, "Although I still have doubts about their appearance, I can feel that they belong to the bloodline of vampires in their bodies, especially the one-eyed man who is the leader, and the bloodline of the vampires in his body is even purer than mine!" As he spoke, he turned to look at Marcus, who was leaning back in his chair with a drowsy face, "Marcus, what do you think!" ”

"I feel the same as you, master, in my perception, the strength of the bloodline in his body almost catches up with me." Marcus replied with sleepy eyes.

"Do you think it's possible for him, it's your ......," Victor said halfway but didn't continue, instead looking at Marcus.

"No possibility! I don't feel the blood of the Covinus family in him. ”

"I see." Victor nodded and said, "This matter is over, and now our topic is what Lucian is gathering troops here for!" ”

Another congresswoman stood up and bowed slightly: "My master, I carefully looked at the map before, and found that Lucian has occupied all the estates on the entire British Eastern Front, and the Skadiren Hill Fort where we are located is precisely the last line of defense on the Eastern Front. Therefore, we should hold on to it, confront them for a long time, and resolutely not give up and abandon this castle. ”

"I'm against it! Master. A male councillor stood up and said: "I think Lucian should have other conspiracies in attacking Skadiren Hill this time, after all, there is a port here, I think Lucian wants to avoid the port of Skadiren and transport the wolf clan into Ireland, with the strength of the wolf clan, the whole of Ireland can be occupied within three months, and after occupying that island, the wolf clan can multiply quickly without guarding against our raid." In this way, in a few years, I am afraid that the wolf clan will have the strength to compete with us in the whole of Europe! So our main focus should be on the port rather than the city. ”

"What do you think?" Victor glanced faintly at the other councillors.

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Against!"

"Against!"

After all the councillors voted, the two views were evenly divided, and Victor vaguely saw that this was supposed to be a confrontation between the two family alliances of the vampires. The councilwoman who said she was going to stick to the castle was the patriarch of one of the families, and a large part of her family stayed in the castle and didn't leave, so she wanted to hold on. And the male councillor obviously wanted to weaken the power of the former's family, so he advocated holding the port.

Although they quarreled with each other, it was a general matter, so the two vampires still took a fairly long-term strategic view, and both of them made sense of what they said, which gave Victor a headache.

"Marcus, Amilia, do you have any ideas?" Unable to make a judgment on his own, Victor had to consult the other two elders.

"Nope." Marcus still had a cold expression.

"I do!" The glamorous Emilia stroked her blonde hair on her forehead and said with a smile: "Master, I don't know if you remember the battle we fought in London thirty-five years ago, when you and Marcus fought Lucian twice, and finally you cut off Lucian's right hand and retrieved it from his right hand?" ”

Victor's eyes flashed: "You said that necklace from Sonia?" ”

"That's right!" Emilia said lazily, "But my master, don't forget that the necklace has another purpose!" ”

"William!" Victor was shocked, looked back at Marcus and said, "Marcus, what do you think?" ”

Marcus shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, but there was a glint in his squinted eyes.

"Crane!" Victor slapped the armrest of his chair and shouted.

A young man in armor walked in, with a cross-sword hanging from his waist and a skull helmet clipped to his right arm. The man stepped forward and knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "My master, you call me." ”

"Klein! Take your squad and some of your mercenaries and check for me if the seal on the top of Skadiren is in order! Then leave a team behind and report immediately if there's a situation! ”

"Obey the master!" Crane stood up and turned to leave.

Victor glanced back at Marcus and said lightly: "Marcus, you will stay in the castle from today until you fall asleep after this battle!" ”

Marcus opened his eyes and said listlessly, "Yes, master." ”

"Alright, today's council is here, and the mercenaries are notified to disperse and disperse immediately!"

Everyone stood up, put their armrests on their chests, and bowed, "Yes, master." ”

Victor stood up like a king and strode out of the council chamber.

Emilia followed by her and stood up and walked out, and as she passed Marcus's side, she looked at Marcus with complicated eyes and said, "Marcus, don't do what you're thinking. ”

Marcus looked up and said flatly, "I don't understand what you're talking about, Emilia. ”

Emilia squinted as deep as the night, glanced at Marcus, and turned away, her voice slowly reaching Marcus's ears.

"Remember, don't try to go against the will of our master, he is more shrewd than you think!"

Marcus looked at Emilia's figure coldly, and it wasn't until everyone left the council hall that he stood up, turned his head to look at the empty dark corner, and said lightly: "Come out, you've been spying on us for a long time, if you can't explain your intentions, I'll give you to my master, he's a very cruel guy!" ”

The shadow part of the corner squirmed, slowly rising upwards, and then turned into a human form. As the humanoid shadow took a step forward, the shadow on his body faded away, revealing the appearance of a handsome young man.

"Who are you?" Marcus asked indifferently.

"Actually, it's not that important at all, is it?" The boy smiled slightly, walked to Victor's chair, sat down and smiled, "The important thing is whether you want to save your brother?" ”

Marcus's pupils shrank, "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"Come on, Marcus!" The young man sat on the chair and bounced his legs easily and smiled: "Everyone knows that you have been unhappy with Victor for a long time, and he got this immortal body thanks to you, but that guy immediately beat William back and imprisoned him in Skadiren Mountain after turning into a vampire, so you probably wish he was killed by Lucian, right?" ”

Marcus said coldly: "This matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with Your Excellency, right?" What's more, William bit so many civilians to death, and he deserved to lock him up. ”

"Marcus, pretending to be a bit of a hit!" The young man smiled: "I'm not Victor's, and you can't hear Victor even if you show loyalty in front of me!" What's more, you and I both know that Victor locked William up not because of the civilians you see as food, but because he felt that William's presence might threaten your life, and your life threatened his life, so he did so. Am I right? ”

Marcus snorted and didn't speak.

The boy took a cigar from his clothes, lit it, and continued, "I will help you rescue William, although I don't know what will happen to William after that, but I can guarantee that he will be able to get out of Skadiren safely." ”

Marcus's eyes lit up, but he still didn't speak.

"Of course, I don't need you to promise me anything, I don't need you to do anything, and you don't even have to keep your hands in the coming war. All I need you to do is spread out as much as possible and don't give them too many opportunities to get together! The young man ignored Marcus's attitude and said to himself: "I know you have this power, and neither Victor nor Emilia will have any suspicion of you if you do this, not to mention that Victor doesn't trust those mercenaries very much, does he?" ”

Marcus snorted, stood up and said, "You're done with what you're going to say?" ”

"That's right!" The boy swallowed the smoke with a cigar in his mouth.

"Then you can go!"

"I don't need to give you any promises, and you don't have to give me any promises?" The boy smiled, and turned into a pool of black water, which fell to the ground and flowed into the surrounding shadows.

Marcus stretched out his right hand, and a whirlwind swirled from his hand, sucking all the white smoke around him into the wind, and then the man waved his hand lightly, and the whirlwind flew out of the main entrance. And in Victor's seat, there was no longer a trace of smoke.

After checking left and right, Marcus smiled at the corner of his mouth and strode out of the main hall.

……

On the top of Skadiren Mountain, I laughed as I looked at the eleven vampires and four adventurers who passed below.

Did Marcus compromise?

Well, let the panic of death ...... Let's start spreading!
