Chapter 109: The Hill of Crosses

"The result?"

Standing outside the farm gate, Kars looked at the night sky, and it wasn't until the man behind him pushed the door out that he didn't look back to ask questions. It's rare that he hasn't had that consistent smile when he has always been stubborn.

"He didn't say anything."

Anderson walked out of the room step by step, without joy or sorrow, not at all recognizing the near-fatal attack just now, but at the last moment turned the corner to safety. Of course, I can't see the cruelty of the mad screams that torture the undead monsters...

"Really? But anyway, it shouldn't be difficult to find them. ”

Kars seemed to be a little absent-minded, and this vague unhappiness naturally could not escape Father Anderson's eyes.

"What? You can be indifferent to the humans who were brutally killed by monsters, but the torture of monsters makes you disgusted? ”

Shaking his head, Kars looked back for the first time into Anderson's eyes, which were hidden behind the lenses.

"Grief or anger is of no value in an irreparable tragedy, but normal people are indifferent to the atrocities that are imminent."

"Violence can only be resorted to monsters and heretics."

"Ha, I understand, Father."

Unwilling to dwell on this issue any longer, Kars knew very well that for a fanatic like Mr. Anderson, those who had degenerated into vampires had no need to judge right and wrong while abandoning their human identity - their very existence was already an unpardonable sin!

"Let's hurry up and go to Schiauliai."

Kars took one last look at the farm behind him, and then set his eyes on the small town in the distance.

It's worse than he thought... Judging from the method this time, the other party is not just quite organized. The powerful **, as well as the skillful blasting technique, prove that the other side has received considerable militarized training, and it is even likely that they are soldiers who have directly participated in the baptism of war.

They may be the same troops who once fought in this land, but of course, in this case, it is more likely that they are a mercenary who originally existed for the bounty!

In this way, the biggest mystery is finally revealed.

Why would a few newborn vampires be a threat to Paladin's Anderson?

You know, the priest is a super soldier who has undergone harsh training and terrible scientific transformation, and ordinary monsters are not worth anything in front of him... But if the enemy has ample thermal weapons, or even high-powered siege weapons, I'm afraid it's a different story!

It's like a mine before ...

If Kars hadn't reacted in time and the two of them decisively abandoned the car, I'm afraid that by now, they would have turned into a part of the charred ruins.

- Armed vampires!

If it weren't for the inopportune situation, Kars would have wanted to laugh out loud and wryly... Isn't the enemy they are facing now exactly what the Major has been pursuing?

It's just that when those monsters give up the initiative and hide in the shadows, the power of artillery and traps will be maximized in the hands of these bloods.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After that, the journey to Šiauliai did not go unturned. Although it was nominally occupied by the Germans, a small city like this was neither a strategic location nor a transportation chokepoint, so there was not even a shadow of a German soldier in sight.

After turning a black forest, I looked along the road to both sides, and there were all twisted and dilapidated houses, like demons constantly twisting their waists and claws in the dark night!

Further on, you can vaguely see the assembly square in the middle of the town, and there is no anger in the huge open field, and the figures of humans and monsters do not seem to appear here, as if all the inhabitants have disappeared out of thin air overnight...

Even because they are currently at war, in order to avoid enemy air raids, all the residents have turned off their lights. But the whole city shouldn't be as cold as it is now.

It would be unreasonable to say that the inhabitants of this place have already been slaughtered. Not only are there not many traces of the aftermath of the war, but even the smell of blood that should have been seen everywhere during the war is much lighter than in other places...

The situation is indeed suspicious, and the bigger problem for Anderson and Kars is that it is now much more difficult for them to track down the enemy and the danger of being sniped by the enemy.

According to the information they had obtained from the phone call of the vampire who had detonated the mine, it was unknown how many members of the group were, but there was indeed a "captain".

Similar to a disciplined combat unit like a mercenary or an army, once the fact that the other party has not returned for a long time is confirmed, then the vigilance for the two of them will naturally increase. As for now, although the possibility that they have been discovered by the secret sentinel cannot be ruled out, there is indeed a possibility that the other party will not be able to grasp their whereabouts!

In this case, the quicker they can find the enemy, the greater the risk can be reduced...

"Teacher, do you have a map around here?"

“…”

Without further ado, the priest took out the map directly from his bosom and handed it to his disciple.

As mentioned before, this is not a major town, so the map is rather sketchy. Siaulliai is located on the seashore and has a long and narrow shape, and although the overall area is not too large, the actual depth is more impressive than expected. However, the surrounding environment made it unnecessary for the army to be stationed here.

For on all but one side of the sea, on the other three sides, there are wide plains on two sides, and only the north side is left with a mountain that is not too dangerous.

"If the vampires are using this small city as a hunting ground, there are not too many strongholds to choose from if they want to cover the entire area, but if you consider the retreat route..."

Kars pointed to the mountain on the map, ten kilometers north of Siauliai.

"If the whole city is attacked during the day, it is a dangerous area, and if you want to get rid of the pursuit, it is impossible for vampires to move to the sea or the plains, so the last possible way back is this mountain! I think if you look into it, you should find something to gain. ”

The priest nodded, affirming the disciple's inference, and then squeezed the fists that he had already held tighter!

"Mount of Crosses!"

He said as he looked in the direction the boy was pointing.
