The night is as desolate as water.

The towering Whispering Castle stood like a ghost tower in the moonlight, and everything within the walls had long since fallen silent, except for the evening breeze blowing through the pavilion to make a mournful sound.

Midnight has passed, and on the black exterior wall, several sturdy figures are constantly climbing. Silently, they leaped over the gatehouse and tower, and crept towards the main tower of the castle. In front of a small stone window, several humanoids crept in.

The thick pads of flesh on their feet allowed them to walk silently, sneaking into the castle without the eyes and ears of the guards.

Using the key to unlock the door and push open the wooden door, several tall creatures set their sights on the man sleeping on the bed...... Their eyes glowed red and their hands had sharp claws, but just as the bloodthirsty monsters were ready to move, all the windows in the room were instantly covered by a cold snap, and the thick ice blocked all the exits in the room.

Without waiting for the bloodsuckers to react, they shot countless deadly arrows from all corners of the room!

The arrows were smeared with poison, and soon, several humanoids were shot covered in blood. The other two hid under the table and chair, and raised the round table as a shield. Barely blocked the attack.

"Roaring ......"

A terrifying howl echoed through the castle, and soon the four men who were waiting for the rabbit began to act. With a muffled chant, sharp ice needles began to grow on the walls of the room, aiming at the remaining two vampires hiding in the corner, and the witch hunters Diego and Rod rushed out at the same time. And the person on the bed who was still asleep just now also got up.

"Die for Sigma, monster!"

Diego shouted, drew his sword and rushed forward. Rod threw his tomahawk at the same time, and the high-speed spinning axe instantly pierced the wooden round table, smashing through the vampire hiding behind the table. Its body was pinned tightly to the wooden table under the piercing of the tomahawk. The other vampire stretched out his claws and pounced frantically.

However, as soon as he pounced, a dozen small, sharp ice needles flew behind him, piercing the vampire's back.

The witch hunter's sword smeared with fire oil swung at the same time, and the monster dodged in a panic, only to stumble into the corner of the bed. With the help of the firelight, everyone could see that it looked like the monster that escaped from the sewers that day. Half-human, half-beast monsters, to be exact, they're not vampires, they're just blood slaves. Some humans who accepted the gift of vampires became their servants.

Diego was very observant, but after all, he was a human being, and he still didn't have any advantage in front of the blood slaves. After the first sword missed, Rod's battle axe followed, slashing at the Blood Slave monster.

The frenzied blood slave did not dare to fight, so he jumped into the corner, grabbed the wall like a spider, and quickly jumped onto the ceiling. This scene is no different from the vampire I saw the day before yesterday sucking livestock. Rhodes knew that they belonged to the same species, and perhaps the fact that these vampires could survive in the castle for that long was the reason for the agreement with the castle owner. I just don't have time to think about that right now.

In the small space, Rhodes threw his axe again, and another Mithril battle axe slashed into the ceiling, knocking the chandeliers straight down. And the blood slave jumped away again a moment before the tomahawk flew. It jumped onto the window, screaming and banging on it, however, the thick ice blocked its knocking. Rhodes had fought real vampires, and he knew that with the power of a vampire, he could shatter the ice wall created by the Frost Witch with one punch, but this was not a vampire.

The Blood Slave Monster kicked the straps twice, but failed to shatter the ice. And the people in the room pounced again. The witch hunter pulled out his pistol and fired a shot at the window, but the bullet missed, almost shattering the ice. Caroline hurriedly added a spell to thicken the ice in the window again.

The mad blood slave was cornered and jumped to the door, from where it had snuck in, and now, it was going to get out of here. It's just that the handle is frozen in ice, and the whole door is also wrapped in ice. Before a few people could pounce, the blood slave roared heartbreakingly, slamming his fist against the door, but there was no other effect than breaking his claws and splashing a puddle of black blood.

It turned around and pounced on the crowd again, and since there was no hope of escape, it fought to the death. However, before he could defeat Diego, a dark golden spear flew at a rapid pace, and in less than a blink of an eye, it pierced the body of the blood slave and nailed it to the door!

Shaman Yeskovich gasped slightly, he walked up to the blood slave, grabbed the tail of the spear with his hand, turned the spear in a circle, and the blood slave monster nailed to the door screamed in even more pain.

At this time, the guards in the castle also rushed to hear the noise......

......

"Lord James, vampires have been found in your castle and are attacking us? What do you have to say about that? Are you going to tell me that you don't know anything about this, or are you going to say that it was just an accident?"

After catching the vampire, Rhodes was led by the guards to the castle hall, and without waking him up, the owner of the castle, Baron James Warren, was already wearing a nightgown and hurried over. Rhodes threw the heads of several blood slaves on the ground and loudly questioned the owner of the castle. dog

However, Baron James, the lord of the castle, did not seem to show much shock or surprise, and he walked up to the bloody heads in his robes, looked at them with disdain, and then looked up at Rod. That gaze, angry with contempt. However, in front of the Queen's people, he still tried his best to be polite-

"These monsters...... They shouldn't have broken in!"

James said.

"They weren't supposed to break in, but now they're not only breaking in, they're blatant! Tell me, how do these evil monsters get in and out of the castle right under the noses of the guards? You won't tell me that the guards aren't on duty at night, are they?"

Rod took a step closer and asked angrily.

However, James looked unmoved, and he was completely different from the day. One is in place, and the other is arrogant and domineering. But Rhodes won't let him be domineering, he is aggressive and aggressive.

"You mean I put them in?"

Baron James turned his head, stared at Rod, and returned with a sneer.

"I didn't say that, Your Excellency, but you must give an explanation. ”

"Explain what? As I said, they snuck in. I'm sorry for my negligence, but trust me, I'll look into the matter thoroughly. ”

"No, I can't trust you anymore, Lord James, your castle has made me feel unsafe, and I have the right to wonder if there are other monsters hiding beneath this castle?"

Rod replied in a harsh, cold voice.

"I said it, it was my negligence, I will investigate it thoroughly! This is my castle, I say it. ”

James shouted loudly, and the atmosphere of peace that had been maintained until then was suddenly torn apart, and the smell of gunpowder quickly rose between the two.

"That was in the past, and now, the Ice Queen has orders from me, and I have the power to investigate your castle. ”

Rod replied loudly.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to command me? Don't think that you are the Chosen One, the Queen's messenger, and you can do whatever you want in this castle!" shouted Lord James, "Guard!"

"You're right, it's an order. It is the queen's order to catch the vampires in the kingdom, and I am carrying out the orders of the ice queen Katarina. Your guards are under my temporary control. ”

Rod returned coldly. A few guards were about to rush up and grab Rhodes and the party, but in a heartbeat, their feet were all covered with frost. Caroline walked up.

"Your Excellency, do you want to arrest us, and become the second Errengrad?"

Caroline's icy voice echoed through the hall. Singing and harmonizing with Rhodes, all of a sudden, James the lord of the Secret Castle was speechless. The law promulgated by Tsar Caterina - the queen's emissaries have absolute power in the conduct of official duties when they are out on the field, and the local lords must cooperate...... At this moment, Rhodes is using this harsh law to threaten the lord of Secret Word Castle. At the same time, as the local lord of Kislev, James, like Rod, is well aware of Katerina's rule, and dares to capture her Frost Witch, just waiting to sit through the prison......

"Block the sewers! Block the castle gates, and keep everyone on guard!"

Rod shouted.
