Chapter 121: A City of Chaos

"Vampires! They say they're blood-sucking monsters, but I think they're vampires. A bunch of vampires who can't control their inner bloodthirsty desires. They attacked the town, and many of the people in the city died. They all died quietly in the night. At first, the city officials told everyone not to panic, and they would send additional men to patrol at night to catch these evil creatures. However, many days passed, and there was still no sound. The gallows in the square was intended for vampires, however, the next morning the mutilated body of a homeless man appeared. โ€

Raheim said, a hint of fear in his eyes. Obviously, he still has a vivid memory of the murder in Errengrad. Rod guessed that was why he had gone to great lengths to come to this backwoods from the big city. The matter was still said by Alves, that little dwarf can always predict something before it happens, and then let people prepare measures in advance. If Ring City really wants to put Dean's arrogant second generation official in power, I don't know what will happen. At the very least, the corrosion of Slaanesh is already showing signs of it. The indulgences of the city seem to have forgotten the dangers that may come at any time.

"Have you ever seen those vampires? or vampires. Sorry, I thought it was just some vampires. Vampires generally don't bite human corpses into pieces......"

Rod asked. While observing the other party's face.

I saw that Laheim's expression became more solemn.

"Yes, I did. On a high tide evening......" he said, pouring himself a full glass of wine, as if to embolden himself. The wife on the side grabbed her husband's hand and said that it was enough.

"He's probably a little taller than a normal person, and he's very strong, but he still has human limbs and heads, and I don't see his face clearly, and I don't dare. In fact, I was still some distance away from him at the time, and I came out of the hotel after talking to a business partner, and was about to go home. I saw this scene. โ€

Raheim took a sip of wine and continuedโ€”

"I saw him drag an old woman into an alley, and from that alley came a terrible scream. The crowd retreated and fled in all directions. Or call the patrolling guards. When the patrolling guards arrived, everyone had the courage to follow the guards into the alley. You can't imagine that picture, it's just madness. The old man's neck was bitten open with a big hole, and the blood vessels and muscles in it were bitten away. Blood ran down her neck and down her thighs. It could be seen that she had struggled at the last moment of her life, but how could an unarmed old man be a vampire's opponent, her heart was pulled out, and her chest was a puddle of flesh and blood. The guards followed the trail of blood as they tried to find the murderous ghost. But it was soon lost, because they found that the blood was gone by the canal......"

"It jumped into the river?"

Rod asked.

I still have some knowledge of the vampire Rhodes in the medieval world. The vampires of the Old World are actually not as terrifying as they appear in some film and television works, sucking human blood and then transforming humans into vampires.

In fact, in the Middle Ages, most vampires didn't kill much. On the contrary, for the most part, they also rely on humans to provide them with productivity. Some vampire families also have a significant number of human supporters. Moreover, unlike most film and television works, vampires in the medieval world want to transform humans, not as simple as transfusing their own blood into it. They need a series of rituals to transform a human into a vampire, first suck the person's blood dry, and then inject their own blood into it, after completing the transformation ritual, the vampire's ability will be greatly reduced, and it will take a long time to recover.

Due to the desire for eternal life and great power, many humans actually aspire to become vampires. As for the vampire incident in Errengrad, Rhodes speculated that it might have been the Streiger family. The vampires of this family are different from the vampires of other families, and due to historical reasons, most of the vampires of the Strygg family live by sucking the blood of animals, such as bats, ground snakes, rats, etc. In those places where there is no light, they feed on the blood of various creatures for a living, and even suck the blood from corpses. In the long run, the vampires of this family look like people and ghosts. Some vampires suck the blood of corpses for many years, and they look like ghouls. Due to the blood of vampires and corpses for a long time, most of the vampires of the Streiger family have lost their minds and become bloodthirsty and crazy.

Judging by Alves and Raheim's descriptions, Rhodes guesses that the vampire incident that took place in Errengrad City was the work of the Streiger family of madmen. Only the vampires of this family would attack humans in a frenzy, kill them, and even dismember them.

"Yes, the guards can't catch them at all. I suspect that the guards themselves were afraid. โ€

"Did the vampire catch it at the end?"

Rhodes asked.

"Caught. But it wasn't caught by the guards. It is said to be a group of mysterious men in black. โ€

"Did you see the man in black?"

"Nope. They are rumored to have been sent by the Ice Queen. But no one has ever seen them for what they really are. In short, Errengrad is not as rosy as it seems. Because of the arrival of the vampires, the city is in chaos. โ€

Laheim sighed. He's just a minor nobleman and doesn't have the power to change anything.

Although from Laheim's words, Rhodes can only get a glimpse of Erlengrad's face from the side, but there is one thing that must be done. As Alves said a few days ago, the north must begin to prepare for the reception of refugees.

Thinking of this, Rod immediately called the butler Muros. Arrange for him to buy more food and tents. It's definitely too late to build a temporary house, it's not a building block, and you can't finish it in a day or two. Somewhat dramatically, a year ago he was still unoccupied at Blackhammer Fort, and now, because of the chaos of a large northern city, there is a potential influx of people. While most people may prefer to seek refuge in the south, in a big city like Kislev, there are bound to be a minority who will go the other way around. As long as one percent of the civilians of Errengrad come to Blackhammer Castle, Blackhammer Castle will not be able to bear it......
