-87- Darkest hour
[Reward and update for the "Dark Star Emperor", (4/4)]
Before they reached Olivia's mansion, a huge portal suddenly appeared above it and caught their attention.
It was a black phantom, and if you looked closely, there was a faint color of blood.
It's like the blood is so thick that it turns black.
It faces the ground, and the black, distorted interior space seems to swallow everything underground.
Even the moonlight was covered tightly by it.
The entire city of Yord fell into the darkest hour.
"Rashomon!?" Malthus exclaimed.
"What's that?"
Yin Rena, who had no culture, asked Elsa on the side.
She also looked up at the terrifying phantom in the sky, and said in a trembling tone, "Just like the 'Xenotropic March' that every church uses, the Blood Clan has also developed a technology that can teleport people and horses over long distances, and this 'Rashomon' is it."
"However, there is also a price to send a large number of troops over at once, and the price is that there must be all the blood core energy of a fifth-order or above blood clan on the scene, plus the food that this teleported army needs for a month, a large amount of precious metals and jewelry, in order to form an equivalent relationship, and the laws of the world will allow this technique to be established."
"Count Olivia's ability to meet these harsh conditions must have been premeditated, and those officials and members of the relevant part must have already become a blood clan."
"Speaking of which, the death of the previous head of the Olivia family is really strange, and the Blood Clan has planned to occupy Yord City early on!"
After some science popularization by Elsa, Yin Rena finally understood the powerful strategic significance of the above thing.
Once it is fully activated, an army of the Bloods will descend on the city of Yord.
At that time, everyone will be wiped out!
"But there's good news." Elsa added, "Teleportation requires the consumption of all the energy of this bloodline, so it is usually used with a synergistic displacement technique to replace the position of this bloodline and the army at the same time according to the law of Rashomon."
"In other words...... When Rashomon is activated, we won't need to run into the Earl?"
Elsa nodded: "Yes, besides, the blood clan transferred over must be lower than the fifth order, and it is not impossible for us to deal with it, it depends on how many of them there are."
Indeed, it's not time to rejoice.
If there are too many fourth-order blood clans here, they will also have to finish the calves.
As for why you would want to exchange a fifth-order bloodline for a large number of bloodlines below the fifth-order......
Siege is never a one-man business.
Moreover, capturing a city is only one purpose of the blood clan, and there is another purpose, which is to captivate the humans in it as much as possible, that is, a steady stream of fresh blood.
If only one person comes, then there will be a great loss of humanity, and even if this city is captured, it will not be of great significance.
As Yin Rena pondered the miscellaneous matters, Malthus, who was at the front, shouted, "We must stop the Count before the spell is complete!"
"If you let Rashomon run, it's too late!"
They rushed to the door of the mansion and violently dismantled it, which was not difficult for a group of transcendents.
Rush into the courtyard, through an attic, and into the central courtyard of a "back" mansion.
The scene inside directly stunned everyone.
The blood filled the sky, and the blood and water merged into lakes.
Countless dead animals were piled up on a hill, covered with steel armor, swords, money, and jewels, and at the "top of the mountain", Count Augustus Lesensen was enveloped in blood-core energy, and bright red pillars of light shot down from the giant doors of the dome, enveloping it.
When everyone saw him, he also saw these unexpected visitors.
It was said to be an accident, but it was actually expected.
"Is Vivien dead?"
His first words were this, and he still had that smiling expression on his face.
Malthus stepped forward, looking up at Augustus, "Of course she's dead, we've crushed her bones!"
"Yes...... Augustus' face showed no emotional fluctuations, "arrogant, proud, weak and powerless, she is not sorry to die."
"Let's not talk about that yet."
He hovered in midair, arms outstretched.
"Welcome to the Humble Lodge, I would love to welcome you warmly, but it is clear that I am busy right now, and if there is anything, can I wait quietly for a few minutes?"
"You think I don't know that you can't move while chanting?"
"There's never been a better time to ruin your ritual!"
Malthus said that he was about to start performing the spell.
"I said I'd waited, why didn't I listen?"
The next second after the earl's words fell, his sixth sense alarm bell rang loudly, and he used all his body's solutions to dodge backwards.
Even though the reaction was already fast, he was still cut in the face by the sharp tip of the gun.
A seat in black clothes could not hide his burly figure, black hair, and a hideous scar on his resolute face.
The tip of the spear was a touch of red, and it was held behind his back.
Malthus's eyes widened at the sight of the man in front of him.
"Hearst!?"
"Hearst??"
"Isn't he the captain of the Divine Inquisitors? Why are you holding us back?"
"Yes! Captain Hearst, give me an explanation!
」
The sergeants behind him denounced him, and even Hearst's original team members looked incredulous.
Captain even let them join Malthus's team, but he went to the Count's side?
Malthus regained his footing, and was as puzzled as the sergeant behind him, and said with urgency and anger, "Why are you stopping us!?"
"Do you know that a moment later, the people of the city will be in danger?"
In front of everyone's eyes, Hearst shook his head, "These people's lives have nothing to do with me, Malthus, you don't have to say anything to me about responsibility, morality, etc., now that I stand here, I have already shown my position, and I have abandoned my oath and glory."
"No...... I can't accept it!"
"You must have been forced, didn't you? Tell me yes!"
Hearst smiled, "Don't be naïve, Malthus, I hate you for that, you're a complete idealist who imagines everything so beautiful."
"So you're wrong, I've never been as noble as you think."
The Earl interjected, laughing as if watching a show, "Yes, Hearst and I are old friends, I know him very well, he is a selfish fellow!"
What?!
Everyone's heart was full of doubt and anger.
The fact that a dignified captain of the Divine Judge became friends with the Earl of the Blood Clan behind his back is even worse than Lawrence!
"Do you want me to tell me about my deal with him?" The count's face was full of banter.
"No need." Hearst looked back.
Seeing Hearst's reaction, the Earl laughed wildly, "You don't want them to know, I'm going to say it!"
"Hearst's wife~ but she's a serious patient......
