Chapter 38: The Fall of Vaughan
Saying goodbye to Urgell, Feiyue set out on the way back to the hotel, a city she really loved, whether it was four streets that could accommodate sixteen horses in parallel, or pedestrian-only streets similar to the pedestrian streets of the previous life, you can see verdant plants and colorful flowers everywhere, and sometimes you can even hear birds and insects, and you can see butterflies flying among the flowers.

"When my city is built, I will definitely decorate it like here!" Fei Yue said secretly with a sigh of relief.
However, when Fei Yue began to look away from the vegetation and animals, she frowned, she had heard from the guards about the unrest on the border, and now even here was a tense atmosphere, and the soldiers were heavily armed, and it seemed that it would not be long before the war spread here.
"Shall we leave now?" asked Fei Yue as she hurried back to the inn.
"If the princess wants to watch the battle, there should be no problem, right? After all, you have a brother who is a god, do those people really dare to touch you?" said Isabella, "and we are husband and wife, shouldn't husband and wife live and die together?"
"I love this city!" Hania said, "It's beautiful and comfortable, how nice it would be to live here forever?" Hania didn't pay attention to the war at all, maybe she was like that before she got revenge, right?
"What about Hermir?" asked Fei Yue.
"I don't have an opinion, but I don't think we have a problem staying, even if the princess's brother doesn't do anything in the underworld, the Grim Reaper won't be indifferent, and if the vampires are really that simple, it's really embarrassing for them that this city can be built like this!" "In any case, I still agree with the princess staying, now there are few such wars in the underworld, and being able to participate directly or indirectly will help the princess's growth!"
"Then let's stay!" Fei Yue said, "Seriously, I really want to see a regular war in the underworld!"
"Have you figured out where to watch the battle, I heard that it is a combined legion of bone dragons, lichs and death knights, this is not the offensive and defensive battle of one or two hundred undead like the original ghost, but the offensive and defensive battle in which one or two million undead are involved at every turn!" "Hermir is still not worried about Feiyue, the last time he participated in the offensive and defensive battle, but he was almost killed by only five levels of Feiyue, this time any team leader is higher than Feiyue's level!
"We can go to the minaret under the banner of the auction house! Although the prince's castle is the tallest building, we don't have that authority, so we have to settle for the next best thing, as long as the lord has a little wisdom, he will not try to slaughter the city! And I believe that someone is not far away, as long as I am not directly involved in the war, if they want to cause me harm, someone will not sit idly by!" The person Fei Yue is talking about is naturally Oher, in fact, Oherr really did not go far, for the Grim Reaper, what is more interesting than a large-scale offensive and defensive battle?
However, when Feiyue and a few people discussed countermeasures in the hotel, Vaughn Fortress was a scene of the end of the world, Vaughn Fortress is not so much a pass, but rather a complete mountain range carved out, connecting the city of twilight and the central area of the trade route, and later with the efforts of the architect, the pass was built into a fortress to avoid the local long drive, and then threaten the city of twilight, in front of Vaughn Fortress is a wall about ten stories high, the city wall has been extended to the mountains on both sides, behind the wall is a castle, between the city wall and the castle was originally an open space, but the long-term comfort made the open space was built as a building for business and rest, and in order to maintain orderA wall was also built on the back side.
Garrisoned by the two clans of the Vampire Alliance, Nophile and Mokkawi, they need to face three races of bone dragons, death knights and lichs, among which not counting the unsightly skeletons, zombies, and enslaved vampires and wraiths, the leader of the Nophile clan, Carla Nophile, stood on top of Vaughan Fortress, looking at a sea of undead in front of him with a glittering blue flame, and he was already in despair.
"Chief, why don't we retreat to the City of Twilight, where we have more troops and ranged forces!" Kara's lieutenant was his brother Kay, who was apparently overwhelmed by the sea of troops!
"Now we can retreat to the City of Twilight, but if the City of Twilight falls, where shall we retreat? There is no garrison like the City of Twilight, but there are steep mountains and crossbows that even dragons fear, and at the same time, my brother, you must also know that behind us is the land that gave birth to our offspring, and we have no way back!" Kara sighed, he didn't know how long he could hold out in the face of such an army in front of him, the Mokawi clan had suffered heavy losses in the last siege of the city, and even the clan leader fell into a coma, and all Kara could do was to buy some time for Grand Duke Drake to ask for help.
"Uhhh
"Prepare for battle, prepare for battle, archers, magicians prepare, trebuchets and bed crossbows to reload!" Under Kara's command, the undead on the defending side also began to act, due to the peculiarity of vampires, their equipment is much better than that of the enemy, and even the bed crossbow is equipped with alchemical crossbows that are specially designed to kill the undead, if the bone dragon dares to rush up, they are sure that they will not return.
Then the sound of war drums and trumpets echoed each other, and the second round of the attack and defense of Vaughn Fortress began.
"Magician, draw a fire-based magic array, wear an earth-based magic crystal, and summon hellfire!" There are two hundred mid-level magicians in Vaughn Fortress, who use a special alchemy magic circle and magic crystals obtained from the main material realm to summon elemental magic.
Two hundred magicians jointly cast spells, although they are only intermediate magicians, the magic energy gathered is also very terrifying, in fact, Kara is still a little impatient, two hundred magicians can cause a lot of damage even if they throw a small range of intermediate magic on the city wall, but look at the hellfire that fell from the sky and burned with blue flames, before the hellfire was destroyed, at least the fortress was no threat.
And how did those skeletons in the front row fight against the stones covered in fire? As long as you get close to the soul fire, it has been burned out, but the skeleton can't do it doesn't mean that the race behind it can't do it, even though the body of the hellfire is huge, but the body of the master-level bone dragon is not small, plus the bombardment of the long-range power of the army itself, the hellfire didn't last long before it turned into a pile of boulders, but the thing that annoyed the death knight and the bone dragon came, the boulder that condensed the hellfire was condensed by the elements, and the only thing that conventional tools could do was leave a scratch on it.
"Let the low-level bone dragon fly directly into it with the prepared siege equipment!" the dragon king Parvata ordered, "It's a waste to keep those guys, just let them do what they can!"
"Since you don't mind as a dragon lord, what do we have to say?" Of course, the Lich Lord Boffin and the Death Knight leader Dia would not have an opinion, and it was not their own army that was lost.
"Archer, bed crossbow ready!" Seeing the other party's bone dragons coming overwhelmingly, Kara smiled slightly, but then saw the ark-like containers held by the bone dragon's men, and suddenly her face darkened again. "Where are our warriors?" Kara drew her weapons and arranged her warriors around the ranged team, forming small phalanxes in the fortress.
"Aim for the ark, shoot—" Seeing the bones of the bone dragons flying over the remains left by the hellfire one by one, Kara's face became more and more ugly, the crossbow arrows of the bed crossbow were extremely lethal to the low-level bone dragons, and even some crossbow arrows could penetrate two low-level dragons at a time, and a single wave of damage caused nearly a quarter of the bone dragons to fall, and those fallen bone dragons protected the captured ark until death, the ark landed, and the enemy's undead surged out of the ark and began to attack the city from the periphery, while the remaining three-quarters of the bone dragons all crashed into the fortress of Vaughan, and some even aimed at the bed crossbow and trebuchet, and would rather break their bones than destroy one of the bed crossbows or trebuchets。
Kara and his personal guards stood on the city wall to defend against the enemy undead attacking from the outside, his army was less than five thousand, and only a quarter of the bone dragon carried several times more undead than them, it is conceivable that although his younger brother Kay led tens of thousands of remaining family elites, it may be difficult to resist several times his own enemies, and the enemy's high-end forces have not yet been dispatched, even if there are here, there are only a few of them.
The war went on, and as time went on, the bed crossbows and trebuchets were destroyed, and the phalanx of archers and guards perished one after the other, and in the end, only a few thousand men led by Kay were left to resist stubbornly.
"Defend the castle, retreat to the castle!" Kay shouted to his brother Kara, "we can't resist it, there are too many of them, and they are still being sent in, and the vampires who have lost their bed crossbows can only watch the sky bone dragons drop their troops into the fortress in batches, and there are more and more enemy spirits in the fortress, although the distance between Kay and Kara is not far, but I am afraid it is not a distance that can be reached by only a few thousand troops."
"Kay, the future of the family is up to you!" Kara put the sword in her hand into the scabbard and handed it to Kay, who was standing aside, and picked up a broken saber beside her, "We are the warriors of Nophil, we sacrifice the souls of our ancestors with blood, and we will also sacrifice our last loyalty to Nophil!" With that, Kara slashed her wrist with her saber and drew a bright rune with her own blood, "Sacrifice-"
"Sacrifice—" The guards behind Raqqa roared as they burned their last lives and fought to the point where their souls returned to the sky.
"For death—" Kara roared.
"For death—"
The remaining 3,000 elites rushed straight down the city wall under the leadership of Kara, and no enemy could escape anywhere they went, whether it was skeletons or knights, even the bone dragon that swooped down and wanted to die together could not withstand the power of Kara's sword, but when Kara arrived at the castle and handed the sword representing the leader to Kay, allowing Kay to retreat to the city of twilight with the last guards and the unconscious leader of the Mokawi clan, less than half of the 3,000 elites were gone.
Faced with Kara, whose soul was burning and could be reduced to ashes at any moment, Kay didn't say much, and withdrew from Vaughn with the rest of his troops under Kara's escort.
"Guy, my brother, please tell the prince that we have done our best!" With that, Kara took the few remaining elite queens, "Hurry up—" Kara roared and charged towards the enemy who was pouring out of the gates.
At this point, Vaughn fell, Count Carla and his guards were all killed, and the defenders of the fortress were not a single one, and Kara resolutely chose to blow herself up at the moment when her soul was about to burn out, and Vaughn Fortress turned into a ruin, except for the huge remains of hellfire that were still in front of the fortress, and I am afraid that there would be no way for the undead to do anything in a short time.
