Chapter 194 Civilians and War
For the first time, Qianye examined the life of the blood clan in the upper continent from a daily perspective, and found that it was a little different from the previous impression that all the people of the dark race were soldiers.
These blood clans in front of them may be because they have been living on the blood clan's native continent, and they can be regarded as a relatively peaceful environment, and there is obviously a distinction between civilians and warriors.
In this castle, although the blood clan has the power of blood, judging by their clothing and actions, most of them are not well-trained warriors, but rather have a skill to take on duties such as management, craftsmen, designers, etc., and the real warriors may only account for a tenth of the total population.
In the empire's homeland, in the territory that has been peaceful for a long time, Terrans of this status are real civilians, and most of them have not awakened the Dawn Force. Within the empire, even if there is occasional friction with the use of force, it is easy not to deliberately harm civilians.
However, in the territory contested by the two camps, there are no real civilians. In the border lands, the dark races that can stand are all inhabited by clans and tribes, and because of their natural racial advantages, everyone has the dark force, and everyone is a soldier. When the camp goes to war, who cares about the difference between the old and the weak, women and children.
So it's the first time that Qianye has really seen a civilian of the Blood Clan. And when they saw Qianye, no matter what they were doing, they would immediately put down what they were doing, kneel down and salute, with worship in their eyes, but more fear.
Among the corpses of the Blood Clan that had been gathered in the square, there were warriors, and more civilians. According to the authorization of the Demon Marquis, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of Thousand Nights and Night Pupils, and if he himself did not restrain his deputy, most of the blood clans in the castle would have been killed.
As for those slaves and inferior races, they may survive, after all, in the eyes of the superiors, their attribute is not enemies, but property.
Qianye faintly felt a little uncomfortable, even if it was a blood clan, the killing of large-scale civilians still made him feel heavy. Life and death on the battlefield is another matter, it is a battle, not a massacre, let alone the extinction of a family or even a clan.
Qianye's heart moved, and when he looked back, the night pupil appeared behind him.
"Done with it?" asked Qianya.
"Yes. ”
"And what about these?" Qianye pointed to the Blood Clan civilians in front of him.
"They can only stay. ”
"There's no other way? Can't they go to the place you just mentioned?"
"It's a secret shelter for the Bloodline, and it's a place like that that is ready to be used in times of crisis for the entire race. There were not many supplies stored there, and the distance was long, and only with enough strength could it be possible to get rid of the follow-up pursuit and rush to the shelter. If it's them...... I'm afraid I won't be able to get there for a month. ”
Qianye looked around and said, "There is no news from this army of demon descendants, and it won't be long before they find out about the abnormality. Shall we stay and kill the reinforcements they came to see?"
Night Hitomi hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Although the leader of the team is the demon Jerusheng, the troops under his command are indeed directly under the council. Until the whole thing is understood, it is best not to attack the direct forces of the Parliament. What happened here can also be explained as a misunderstanding, but it cannot be explained when the reinforcements are also knocked out. ”
Although the night pupil said it tactfully, Qianya could understand what she meant.
Within the Dark Race, class and hierarchy oppression is much more powerful than in the Empire. With the identity and rank of the night pupil, at the scene of the burning of the blood clan, killing a marquis and his team of a famous demon family can be completely "explained". But it would be impossible to kill the second team, which was clearly an act against the council.
She paused, and then said, "The current commander-in-chief of the forces directly under the Council is the Spider Demon Overseer Lothar. He was young, but he was very tough and quite difficult. At this time, I don't want to have another enemy like the Spider Demon. ”
Qianye sighed. It is foreseeable that when the follow-up troops of the council arrive, the blood civilians who are still in the castle will not end well, so he said: "Then don't let them stay, let them escape, run as far as they can." ”
"Okay. Night Hitomi also felt that there was only one way.
"What are we going to do next?"
"I'm going to go to the nearest family territory belonging to the Paz clan. That's where it was possible to contact Lilith, or at least Medanzo. Now the day-to-day affairs of the blood clan are handled by him and Habs, and he is the master. ”
"The King of Lightless...... I don't have a good impression of him. When you were in the neutral lands, he thought about arresting you. ”
"That's because he doesn't know who I am. Medanzo has been trapped in this stage for a long time, and he is bent on making up for the weaknesses in the bloodline talent, so he has been secretly collecting the source blood of various talents. At that time, I showed a talent that was different from other native species, and it was normal for him to want my source blood. And now, I just put my source blood in front of him, and I forgive him to think about it, whether he can afford to pay this price. ”
Qianye frowned slightly, and said, "After all, he is the Great King, and if there is a head-on conflict, I am probably not his opponent." ”
Night Hitomi was a little surprised, "Why is there a head-on conflict?"
"All in all, it's better to be careful with him. I feel a little bad. ”
"It doesn't matter, finding him is only the first step. He couldn't afford it, and he had to let Lilith know. ”
Qianye thought about it, and couldn't make any better suggestions for the internal affairs of the Blood Clan, so the two of them ordered the Blood Clan civilians in the castle to scatter and flee, and then left the castle and disappeared into the vast night.
Located on the edge of the inland region of the Twilight Continent, Avei Castle was built 900 years ago by Duke Lynch. Nine hundred years later, the owner of Avi Castle has been replaced by the Marquis of Little Lynch. The old duke is said to have been asleep, but no one knows if he will be able to wake up again.
It was evening, the sunset was like fire, and the moon was already in the middle of the day, which was the best time of the day. The Marquis of Little Lynch sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding an ancient book and reading, occasionally picking up the gorgeous golden cup next to him, drinking a sip of fine blood wine, and then turning his eyes to enjoy the magnificent scenery outside the window.
This kind of scene of prosperity is about to wither, every time he looks at it, he will inexplicably feel a kind of sadness and chill in his heart. This was the marquis's favorite emotion, and only in this mood could he write a satisfying poem.
But this time, when he looked out the window, he was stunned to find two figures outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and there was only one window between them, but the marquis did not notice how they appeared, and the castle's defenses were not disturbed at all.
The night pupil lifted the hood and said, "Won't you let us in?"
The Marquis shuddered, hurriedly stood up, pulled open the floor-to-ceiling window, then touched his chest with his hand, bowed deeply, and said, "Forgive me, I would never have thought that you would come to this little castle of Avi. ”
The night pupil walked in and sat down in the chair where the marquis was originally sitting, while Qianya stood beside her, not showing her face.
Marquis Lynch closed the window, shielded himself from the cold wind of the mountains, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty is here, what do you have orders? Do you need me to arrange a grand welcome dinner? Now the time is a little urgent, and a few local famous dishes that need to be cooked may not be prepared in time, please forgive me." ”
"You don't need a welcome dinner, and don't let anyone else know I've been here." You're calm here, haven't the Demons and the council forces been here?"
Marquis Lynch's eyes widened, and he said, "How could the council troops come? As for the demons, this is Twilight, I don't think they have the courage to walk around the depths of Twilight at will, right?"
Night Hitomi frowned slightly, "Haven't been here yet?"
Lynch Jr. looked innocent, "Absolutely not." If you need it, I can summon the warriors in the territory and make sure again. However, as far as I know, in the past month, not a single strange demon has appeared in the territory. There are indeed Demon Descendants in the city below, but those families have been operating workshops here for almost three hundred years. ”
Night Hitomi said slowly: "It's good that you didn't come." I suggest that you immediately strengthen the guards of the family castle, and contact the Paz clan to take refuge, or ask them to send a force to assist in the war. ”
Little Lynch was startled, "This, this is a big deal! Is something wrong, Your Majesty?"
"I suspect that our all-out war with the Demons is about to begin. ”
"All-out war!" Xiao Lynch exclaimed with some exaggeration, "How can this be? Hasn't the holy war stopped? Your Majesty, you are still the Great Lord of the New World!"
"Do as I say. Night Hitomi didn't want to explain, then got up and said, "What is the status of the old duke now? There should be a means in Avi Castle that can contact Her Majesty, I need to use it." ”
Marquis Lynch's face changed, and he said: "Your Majesty, we do have facilities here to contact Her Majesty, but even my father can't remember how many hundred years they haven't used it, and, as you know, the opening of this facility must be controlled by my father himself." Although I am a pure-blood of the Lynch family, my own strength is not enough. ”
It's incredibly easy to connect with the Queen of Night on the Twilight Continent, much easier than on other continents. But the so-called easy, at least the Duke of the Paz clan. Every duke is an important figure in the clan, and if they need to contact the Queen of the Night, it will be a big deal.
The Queen's slumber is not to be disturbed, and as the river of blood fades away, the Queen of the Night has less and less time to wake up, and even avatars or projections no longer appear. In contrast, the Demon Emperor and the Spider Queen are much more active. In this case, naturally not just anyone can disturb her, except for those second-generation ancestors, there are only the dukes of the Paz clan.
Similarly, not every duke is qualified to build a family castle on the Twilight Continent, even by the bloodline of Paz, the oldest clan of the Bloodline.
Nightpupil chose Avi Castle because it has facilities that can communicate with the Night Queen's Palace.
After listening to the request of the night pupil, the Marquis of Little Lynch looked a little unnatural, and finally said, "Your Majesty, please come with me." ”
As soon as the night pupil moved, Qianye naturally followed, and Marquis Lynch frowned and said, "Your Majesty, it may be inconvenient for your entourage to enter and exit there. ”
"He's not my retinue. ”
And Qianye also showed a trace of blood, and the terrifying coercion instantly made Xiao Lynch's face pale, and he involuntarily took a step back. He looked shocked and shocked, looked at the night pupil again, and finally didn't dare to say anything, and led the two of them to the underground of the ancient castle.
The three of them walked through a long passage, passing through a full six open and dark passes along the way, and finally a heavy steel gate appeared in front of them. Looking at the location, this is already in the middle of the mountain.
"This is where my father sleeps. The last time he woke up was thirty-five years ago. Lynch Jr. said.
