Volume I: The Birth of Killing Chapter 4
Chapter 4
The demise of the Dowton and Ellman families caused a sensation in the island overnight. www.biquge.info The main culprit who drove the two major blood clans to war was Isabel's cannons as a return gift, and it can also be said that Isabel was the initiator of this war.
Although the war is over for the time being, some wandering vampires in the vicinity have become more and more rampant, and the bloodline that once controlled them has disappeared, which is really a fish in the sea for them. Although Isabel is the ultimate beneficiary, with her ability, she is not able to control those wandering vampires. What's even more worrying is that she actually treats those wandering vampires as worms and never takes them seriously. Some wandering vampires visited her door many times, and even wanted to join her guards, but she ruthlessly turned them away. This undoubtedly caused the wandering vampires to be dissatisfied with her and vindictive.
Draco was so worried about this that he went to Isabel's room and persuaded her not to offend the wandering vampires, and to either take them in or give them some money to keep them away.
But Isabel was carried away by the current good situation, and she said to herself: "The Doudon family and the Ellman family have perished, we are the boss here, do we still have to please some wandering thieves and robbers?"
"The more we are at this juncture, the more we must keep a clear head and do things more rationally. Draco said.
"Drake, what else are you worried about?"
"I'm worried...... The unexpected happens. β
"As long as the sky doesn't fall, nothing unexpected will happen, you know? β
"I don't think it's better to take them in. For several years, they have been traveling through Northern Europe, sea and land transport routes, they know it very well, and if they help us, we will be able to master the Nordic land and sea transport routes, which will be beneficial to us. β
"Draco, I can take them in, but now is not the time, wait for them to take in. β
"All we have to do now is to reassure them, what are we going to do if those wanderers are going to rob? β
"Then we'll split up. β
"Are you crazy? We have few people. β
"Drake, you don't have to worry about this, I have my own way. Now, go and fetch me twenty fresh corpses, preferably of adults, male or female. β
"Corpses, what do you want corpses for?"
"Don't ask so much yet, you'll know when the time comes. β
"Okay, then I'll go and prepare now. β
It took Draco two nights to dig up twenty corpses in the surrounding graveyards, all of which were fresh due to the cold weather. He and a few guards transported the corpse to a storage room beneath the castle that had been out of use for many years, and lined it up neatly on the ground.
Not long after, Isabel arrived, and she was pleased with the corpses. Next, she's going to do something unbelievable. First, she had the corpses cleaned, and by the way, a liquid mixed with brandy and corpse oil was applied to soften the skin and veins of the corpses. The corpses were then dressed in guard garb and placed on the edge of a stone table to make it look like they were in council.
In the dim light of the candles, Isabel laid out a map of Sealand on the table, as if to perform some kind of terrifying ritual. But this is not some kind of ritual, but an ancient sorcery from Poppy Island, which is so eerie that it can make the corpse consciously do anything. Isabel used a pen to map the route from HelsingΓΈr to Copenhagen and quickly replayed the detailed road details in her head. The guards were ordered to open the skulls of the corpses, revealing the brains inside the skull. Then, she stabbed the fingertips of the middle fingers of her left hand with a dagger, dripping blood into the corpse's skull one after another, as if to transmit consciousness to the corpses, and the corpses' brains would also show the route and road conditions from HelsingΓΈr to Copenhagen, so that they would consciously do things for their masters.
The guards sewed up the wound on the corpse's head and stood aside.
Draco was stunned by the scene in front of him, and he muttered, "This is the ancient black magic on Poppy Island, called 'Corpse Collar', a person with strong witchcraft who can make corpses do tasks like good people." β
Isabel lit the center of the map that lay out on the stone table with a candle, and she couldn't make out what she was saying because she was chanting words like a spell.
The flames on the map began to spread in all directions, gradually turning purple. In the end, the entire map was burned to ashes.
The corpses suddenly raised their heads and stood up, opened their glazed and hideous eyes, and then slowly turned to face the exit. With the words still in her mouth, Isabel made a guiding gesture towards the walking dead, motioning for them to move forward. The walking corpses stood in two rows and began to walk forward.
"Where are you going to let them go?" Draco asked.
"Go to Copenhagen. "Now," said Isabel, "go and prepare five wagons and twenty large chests, and fill them with stones, and I will do my own thing." β
Draco gathered the guards, and as Isabel had intended, quickly found twenty large chests, filled them with stones, and loaded them into the wagon.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Isabel brought the walking corpses into the courtyard and gave them the order: "Through the dark forest, all the way south." The sun rises and the sun sets. β
The walking corpses snorted white gas from their mouths as they walked to the side of the carriage. In this case, a convoy is born, and even if someone sees it, they will mistake it for a convoy, and who would think that those guards will be a corpse?
The guards opened the castle gates, and the convoy of walking corpses set off.
What exactly Isabel was trying to do? The guards didn't know. In the face of such a terrifying and mysterious corpse collaring technique, no one dared to ask.
Next, Isabel had Drake take all the guards to load a large amount of gold and silver treasure onto a wagon and transport it to the large transport ship docked in the harbor. The guards realized that she was afraid of robbery, so she wanted to use the caravan to attract the attention of the looters, and then smuggle the gold and silver treasures to the port, from land and sea to Copenhagen.
Although there are marauders on the land route, there are forests on land that can hide from the threat of the sun. Although it is safe to walk by sea and land, it is inevitable that it will not be threatened by the sun. Draco was puzzled by this, and he felt that Isabel had chosen the wrong path, so he asked her, "It is too dangerous to go by sea and land, and the sun can kill us at any time." β
Isabel smiled contemptuously, as if everything was under her control, "You're right, the marauders who coveted these gold and silver treasures also thought of this, so they concluded that we would not go by land and sea, but they never expected that we would really set off from land and sea. During the journey, if the sun shines, we can take refuge in the cabin. The walking corpses that set out by land are nothing more than a trick to deceive the marauders. β
"You're so smart, it's a privilege to work for you. β
"Take forty guards and go with me. Also, remove five cannons from the ship and reduce the weight of the ship"
"What do we do if we encounter an enemy on the road? β
"It's okay, as long as the flag of the Royal Danish Navy is raised, no one dares to approach. β
"Do you have to take the gold and silver away at once? β
"No, just ship it all at once. lest the marauders sleep long nights. β
"We'd better take all the guards with us. β
"Forty guards, plus you, are enough. β
"When to go?"
"The Walking Corpse has already set out, and we must do it at once, and if the Marauders know that the Walking Corpse are there to confuse them, they will intercept us by land and sea. β
"Everything is ready. β
"Go to the port right away. β
Vanessa also came to the courtyard to see off her master. She was very reluctant for Isabel to leave again, she pulled Isabel's hand and said, "Are you going to Copenhagen?"
Isabel was also reluctant to her, "The road is difficult, I can't take you there." I'll be back in a few days, so take care. β
"Don't worry. β
The master and servant then came to a deep embrace.
Isabel set off, she boarded the ship under the escort of the guards and began to rush to Copenhagen. Because of the abundance of treasures on board, the ship moved slowly. Isabel ordered the flag of the Royal Danish Navy to be hoisted, and all superfluous items on board were discarded, except for gold and silver treasures. As a result, the only two guns and two boxes of shells left on the ship, as well as five small lifeboats, were thrown into the sea.
It is true that the speed of the ships is much faster than before, but the ships without artillery protection are vulnerable. Draco realized this, and an inexplicable sense of fear suddenly welled up in his heart. Fortunately, the road was calm and there was no trouble.
Until dawn the next day, the sky was still dark and overcast. All this, as if the sky was deliberately helping Isabel.
The sea gradually fogged up, and strong winds blew, and the waves began to roll. The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, making people fidget. Isabel remained calm, and despite the current harsh environment, she gave the order to move forward at full speed.
Despite the bad weather, there are still some ships passing by on the sea.
Suddenly, a large ship without mast and sail appeared in front of me, which looked very strange from a distance. Isabel brought her binoculars and looked at the ship, only to see the crew on it shouting at her, their guns and swords held aloft as if in defiance.
Isabel also saw the faces of those crew members, it turned out that they were also blood clans, presumably wandering vampires.
Then, the unthinkable happened. The ship had no mast or sails, but something like an airbag soon appeared on the deck, and then began to expand rapidly, becoming larger and larger. What is that? No one can guess at the moment. It was as if something was inflating it, making it bigger and bigger, and gradually turning into a hot air balloon under the filling of hot air.
The cables and chains on the huge hot air balloon connect the boats below, and it uses the force of the rise to pull the boats below and start floating into the air. The ship, which had no mast, became a ship and began to fly forward.
Isabel was dumbfounded, it was like a dream to her, but she couldn't wake up from it. She watched her ship be covered in the huge shadow cast by the ship, and she panicked and didn't know what to do. The ship seemed to be overwhelmingly pressed down from the sky. Her guards were also busy aiming their guns at the ship, ready to shoot.
Draco immediately shouted to the ship: "This is a ship of the Royal Danish Navy, who are you?"
The ship did not respond, only to see the baffle at the bottom of it open, and then a string of black things emitting white smoke fell from inside. Draco suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he immediately shouted, "Grapeball, everyone, hide quickly." It's a pity that it was too late, as soon as he finished speaking, a bunch of grape bombs fell beside him, and exploded, and he was blown into rags on the spot, and it is estimated that the moment he died, there was no pain.
Immediately afterward, more grape bombs fell and exploded on the deck of the ship. Although these grapeshots are not silver, they are lethal enough to explode, and if the shell explodes in mid-air, it tends to cause the most damage. Those Blood Clan guards who had seen the power of the spaceship for the first time were completely stunned, dead, wounded, and some could not even find their bodies.
Isabel was thrust onto the mast by the blast, causing her to spurt blood and shrapnel into her ribs and thighs. Fortunately, there were many barrels next to it to block more flying shrapnel, otherwise her beautiful face would have suffered some grievances temporarily. She gritted her teeth and pulled out pieces of iron that had pierced her ribs and thighs. Through the gaps in the barrels, she saw that the guards were desperately hiding, powerless to fight back. At this time, she finally felt the feeling of failure, helplessness, helplessness and being slaughtered. It was perhaps the most embarrassing she's ever had in her life. Fear, grief, helplessness and other multiple factors shook her confidence, and also pricked every nerve in her, making her reach the brink of death.
After a bombardment of grapeshit, everything on deck was covered in smoke and everything calmed down.
The sea breeze quickly cleared the smoke, and Isabel saw that the deck was full of mutilated corpses, and her guards were probably not spared, but she was the only one who survived. She persisted in looking up at the ship in the air, trying to pull out her pistol and shoot at the ship.
Suddenly, several crew members jumped out of the ship, landed firmly on the deck, surrounded Isabel, and seized her gun. They are agile, not like humans, but blood.
One of them had a white cloth covering his face, revealing only two blood-red glasses, like the leader of it. He came up to Isabel, grabbed her by the neck, dragged her up from the ground, and then tore off the layers of white cloth on her face, revealing a hideous face that looked like she had pemphigus foliaceus, and he deliberately put that disgusting face closer to the place of Isabel's face, and then yelled, "Long time no see." β
Isabel was stunned by his ugly face, she instinctively closed her eyes, turned her face exaggeratedly to the side, endured his horrible roar, and then slowly turned her face to face the ugly enemy, and asked, "Are you Casto Braden?"
"My angel, I didn't expect you to remember me. When I visited your castle, you turned me away, treating me as no more than a wandering mouse. I'm going to make you pay for the actions of no one you see. β
"I really should have killed you then. β
"But you didn't. Casto exerted another force, pinching her neck even tighter.
Isabel couldn't bear the humiliation, she couldn't hold back the anger in her heart. Taking advantage of the guard's unpreparedness, she swung a punch and struck Casto in the face.
Castor's face was exaggeratedly uplifted, his face, which looked like the bark of a dry tree, cracked so hard that the whole skin seemed to fall off, and he cried out, "Kill her, kill her." β
The nimble Isabel quickly knocked down two of the guards and plunged into the sea. By the time Casto and his men reached the side of the ship, Isabel had disappeared into the undulating waves. Instead of chasing, Castor ordered the cabin to be searched and all the gold and silver treasures in the cabin lifted to the deck, then lowered the height of the ship and carried the treasures aboard the ship and transported away. In this way, Casto obtained all of Isabel's assets for nothing, and it can be said that he plundered most of the Siegfried family's property on the island of Sealand.
In the end, Casto ordered the burning of Isabel's transport ship. He looked at the raging fire below from the spaceship and said, "My angel, these treasures do not belong to you. (To be continued.) )
