Chapter 215: The Convict
As Rog stopped, several people on the opposite valley road also turned around, and under the moonless night, Rog's shining eyes saw these people in red and white cloaks, all of them were young men in their early twenties, holding sharp blades of different lengths in their hands.
"It doesn't look like a vampire. Rogge looked back at Wolf, the son of the werewolf patriarch, and the other party nodded in agreement, Rogge let everyone rest in place, calling Antonio and Murphy to join Wolfe, and the four of them stepped forward to talk to each other.
The four of them came to a stop five paces away from each other, and Rog glanced at the young men opposite, there were eight of them, all wearing cloaks with red patterns on a white background, and holding shiny silver-plated weapons in their hands, several of them carrying blazing torches.
"Who are you?" a young man at the head stepped forward and asked aloud.
"I'm Antonio, the leader of the Knights of the Silver Dragon Wings, who are you?" Antonio stepped forward, the holy light in his hand illuminating the young people in front of him, several of whom were startled by the sudden holy light, and hid behind their companions in panic.
"My name is David, and we are the judges. The young man at the head shielded the holy light radiating from Antonio's hand with his hand, and replied in a proud tone.
"Convictor?" Antonio glanced curiously at the eight people, and looked back at Rogge with inquiring eyes, he saw that Rogge was turning back and whispering to Wolfe, Wolf's green eyes were staring at a few young people hiding behind the line, and nodded slowly.
"The Criminals are an organization that has sprung up in recent years among the rangers," Murphy said to Antonio, "and they are on a mission to hunt vampires, and they wear uniformly wearing cloaks and trousers with red patterns on a white background, representing the use of silver blades to cut off the evil blood of vampires." ”
"It turned out to be a vampire hunter. Antonio was relieved when he heard this, and overheard Rogge interject: "Murphy is right, the convict gathers the vampire hunters who used to be alone, and at the same time accepts aspiring young people for training, and their president Wood is my old enemy." ”
"Old rival?" Antonio looked at Rogge suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "You are all witchers, shouldn't you be like-minded?"
"Oh, it's the same thing, you know!" Rogge shrugged and smiled.
Antonio smiled helplessly, turned his gaze back to the convicts, and asked, "What are you doing here, have you tracked down the vampire's movements?"
"We have come here from a vampire castle on the border of Italy, and we believe that she may have come to this valley to attend some mysterious blood gathering in which a rare noble nobleman may have appeared. David the young condemner replied.
"Didn't you inform your president about this?" asked Rogge.
"No, we don't have time to report this, Anne is haunted, and the slightest negligence will cause us to lose her trace. There was a hint of displeasure in David's tone, as if he had heard contempt in Rogge's words.
"Then you'd better get out of here now, before you fall into Annie's trap. Rogge smiled a little mockingly, "I can tell you who she came here to see, she was summoned here by Princess Elizabeth, the daughter of the vampire king." ”
When the convicts heard Rogge's words, their faces couldn't help but show shocked expressions, and Rogge continued with a smile: "Anne, the sorcererous handmaiden, Elizabeth's personal maid, is skilled in invisibility and illusion, and is one of the most difficult vampires to track, and you have chased here from the borders of the Duchy of Itali......"
He paused slightly, shook his head, and said, "I don't think it's that you have great tracking skills, but that Anne has no intention of hiding her whereabouts at all, she wants to lure you with her, and then turn you all into her slaves in this place of bones." ”
The convicts looked at each other, a little confused, and David stared at Rogge for a moment and asked, "Who are you? How do you know this?"
"Oh, do you ask me?" Rogge turned around and smiled mischievously at Antonio, "I'm the Knight's Captain's henchman, and my name is Langaro. ”
"A follower dares to point fingers here!" David sneered, turned his gaze to Antonio and said: "Mr. Commander, what your Holy Society is here has nothing to do with us, and we don't need you to take care of our affairs, we'd better go our own way, and no one interferes in anyone's affairs!"
After he finished speaking, he beckoned everyone to turn and leave, and Rogge stood there watching the backs of the convicts leaving, and said to the three people beside him, "We'd better follow these guys, and try to leave a chance to go back and report to Wood, so that Wood knows what good things his rookies have done." ”
The eight convicts, led by David, marched through the silent valley, the light of the torches could not bring them much comfort, and everyone's nerves were tense, and they pricked up their ears to listen to the movements around them, but there was not even a little insect song and birds chirping around, and the silence made the blood all over the body coagulate.
"Joseph, are you sure it's over here? there's nothing here, I don't see any traces of vampires. David stopped, looked back at one of the team members, and said.
"It should be just ahead, my blood crystal has been glowing, it shouldn't be far away. Joseph pulled out a blood-red crystal from his waist, a gem used by vampire hunters to detect the presence of vampires in the vicinity, and the gem was radiating red light.
"Alright, move on!" David beckoned to everyone, turned and was about to walk forward, when the clouds in the sky suddenly cracked a crack, and a ray of bright moonlight fell on the ground.
"The moon is out, which is a good thing, at least so that we can see the road clearly. David said happily when he heard an exclamation behind him, and he looked back into the crowd, only to see one of the convicts knocking the other down and biting him down on the throat.
"Jos, what are you doing!" David shouted in surprise, and was about to go up and pull them away, when Joseph suddenly flew up and knocked David to the ground with a punch, he pounced on David's arm, and the four tiger teeth in his open mouth suddenly extended.
"Why, how come, you ......" David looked at his companion in astonishment, Joseph's eyes glittered blood-red in the night, and the moonlight reflected on his face, turning his whole face pale, but his lips were extraordinarily red.
"This is Miss Anne's order, all must submit to the Bloodline, Her Highness Elizabeth has returned, and the Bloodline needs you!" Joseph said in a creepy, ghostly voice, biting down David's throat.
It was too late, it was too soon, a hand slammed into the back of Joseph's neck, dragged him off David's body, and threw him out with a wave of his hand, and Rog took the left hand of the fallen angel's gauntlet and reached out to David, who was lying on the ground in shock.
"Damn humans, how dare you spoil our good deeds!" said Joseph, who had been thrown on the ground, jumped up from the ground and roared angrily.
"Forget your roots so quickly!" Rogge glanced at him contemptuously, pulled David up from the ground, and sneered at Joseph: "If I'm not mistaken, you have just been transformed, and your master may not have given you the strength you deserve, right?"
"But that's enough to tear you apart!" Joseph smirked, and the two vampires who attacked with him pounced on Rogge and David from three directions at the same time.
Seeing this, David next to Rogge reached out to touch the silver sword on his waist, but Rogge held his hand and shook his head gently, only to hear a "bang" gunshot, Catherine's silver bullet arrived first, and a vampire screamed in an instant.
Another vampire monster screamed and rushed towards Rog from the left rear, only to see a holy light descend from the sky, and the vampire's whole body suddenly stiffened, and in the holy light turned into dust in the sky, and dissipated without a trace.
Joseph, who was alone, was taken aback, and when he hesitated, Rogge had already rushed in front of him like the wind, punched him in the face, Joseph fell backwards and flew out, only to hear a roar behind him, and Wolf's steel claws, which turned into werewolves, pierced through the back of his chest, opened his bloody mouth and bit off Joseph's neck.
Standing in place, David looked at everything that happened in front of him in horror, and didn't react to what happened at all, the little furball lying on Rogge's hat glanced at him, and said to Rogge: "That big fool seems to have been scared to death by you, and he even forgot to lie down!"
"Shut up, little villain, that kid's mind is messed up enough. Rog walked up to David and said, "Don't you understand what's going on?"
David shook his head blankly, and said with palpitations: "How can this be, I have known Joseph for many years, how can I not realize that they are vampires at all?"
"Sure enough, it's stupid!" said the little furball with a sigh.
Rog coughed lightly, glanced at the Treants and the Knights and Werewolves approaching, and said to David, "They were only recently infected by vampires, and I think Anne quietly bit them on your way to track her, and then used them to lure you all here." ”
Hearing Rogge's words, David paused thoughtfully for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "No wonder! A few days after entering the forest, we had already been lost, but one day Joseph suddenly said that he had discovered Anne's whereabouts, and then brought us here!"
"That's right, when Captain Antonio shone the Light on you, the three of them avoided the Light in fear, and Mr. Wolf smelled the scent of vampires from them. Rogge said with a glance at Antonio and Wolf, who came forward.
"Thank you, thank you for saving your life!" David said gratefully to the three of them.
At this moment, Catherine, who jumped off the treeman, suddenly shouted, "There is another living one here!"
"Stay away from him!" Rogge exclaimed, Catherine was startled by his warning, and hurriedly stepped away from the convict who had fallen to the ground, and Rogge and Antonio and the others came to the wounded convict, and saw the blood from the bite on his neck, and the man fell to the ground groaning in pain.
"Oh my God, we have to save him!" David looked at his wounded companion and was about to step forward to help him up, but Rog pushed David away with his hand, reaching for the silver sword behind his back and saying, "Give it to me, let me save him......"
