74.Loyalty and Monsters 14/60
(Add more for the 'Humen Yan' brothers [4/5])
"Come!"
Falling on the ashes of the city dome, Lumina, who was already on the top, dropped the shotgun in her hand and made a provocative gesture to the vampire in front of her.
The latter was provoked almost instantly, baring his teeth and lunging at her, so fast that she couldn't catch it.
At this stage, the individual strength of the small players is still not enough compared to the servants of these patriarchs' personal guards, even if these guys are weakened by the daylight potion, they are still black iron ranks, and they can crush players in terms of attributes and absolute strength.
Alas, it's going to hang up again.
However, pulling the crotch again this time is much better than the embarrassing fall last time.
Thinking so, she simply closed her eyes and swung a sword in her hand, but the next second, three consecutive gunshots from mid-air made her open her eyes again, and she saw huge bat wings falling from the sky.
Then a dashing and elegant sliding step struck out the afterimage, allowing the scarlet spur sword to bite the opponent's neck like a poisonous snake.
It was like an elegant and breathtaking slaughter.
In less than five seconds, the fierce but weak creature fell in front of him, and Lady Adele, who folded her wings, brutally gouged out the heart of the other party by piercing and executing it with her claws.
The rare template given to her when Murphy first embraced her, made her far superior to ordinary warriors in the Black Iron Rank, not to mention the half-elf blood in her body that gave Lady Adele a night dexterity that was superior to that of ordinary vampires.
The vampire beneath her feet turned into a twisted stone statue in a near-death scream, and after this brutal execution in eternal silence, the lady got up with the beating scarlet heart, glanced at Lumina, who was stunned in place, shook her head, and said:
"You still have to practice your swordsmanship, warrior, if your ugliness was seen by the shadow swordsmen of the Mejewa family, they would laugh off their big teeth."
"Wow, was that elven swordsmanship just now? Is it so handsome with a flash? ”
Lumina's eyes were filled with longing.
But Mrs. Adele didn't have time to say much about this "elf control" at this time, so she started to fold her wings and jumped off the firepower platform like a leap of faith.
This was her first win.
If you want to ask Murphy's master, you need at least five
Well, I wish the dawn came a little later, so that she could fulfill her last wish before becoming a descendant of Murphy completely.
The vampires in the dark room will be beaten badly, not only will they be shot down from the sky, but they will also be blocked and kicked in circles by the young players who have triggered the frenzy of fighting.
But that's just the appearance.
The ones who can be stopped by the little players and the Cadman self-salvation army are all low-level vampires, and the real high-level vampires are the seven patriarchs' personal guards, except for Jed, who was entangled by the eldest lady, the other six have already run away.
These guys unlock more racial powers at the Silver tier.
The increase they received in the dark night was much stronger than that of the individuals of the Black Iron Rank, and in fact, as long as they were resolute enough, the battle put on by the small player would not hurt any of them at all.
But these guys are even more desperate when they are strong.
Especially since they had just escaped from the hellish Blood Vulture Corridor and had become frightened birds, it was impossible to get them to go back and fight hard.
Decisively sell his heirs in exchange for time for a safe departure, anyway, the transformation of those servants in the blood vulture corridor was originally intended to be used as cannon fodder.
There can't really be a vampire lord who would put himself in danger for the safety of his offspring, right?
Wouldn't it, wouldn't it?
However, their escape was by no means easy.
As soon as a few guys who had just left the ruins of Cadman City and were about to sneak into the survivor camp to eat some "snacks" to regain a little strength, they were entangled in a sudden burst of natural psionic spells.
The psionic illusions of the forest and verdant glades were overwhelming, pulling them into the hunting illusion that the witch hunters had arranged in advance.
"The hunters have been waiting for a long time!"
Natalie, the captain of the hunters as the temporary commander, crossed her hands and pulled out the two knives at her waist.
The other elite witch hunters hide in the woodland shaped by natural psionic illusions, which is their home turf, and such large-scale psionic illusions are only used when hunting high-level vampires like the one in front of them.
"Kill it!"
The white-haired vampire who had flirted with Jade before swung his vicious claws, and the three high-ranking vampires beside her immediately rushed out in different directions.
She took Natalie straight herself.
The gray-haired witch hunter in front of him is just a little scum of the black iron rank, and he really dares to say big things!
"Bang"
A gunshot erupted from the woodland illusion behind Natalie, and the scorching deer bullets flew into an entire area in front of her, allowing the charging female vampire to dodge, deftly taking several steps back, and looking ahead in disbelief.
Then, she saw Major Fraser, who was wearing the uniform of Major of the Plantagenet Kingdom, striding out of the illusion with a cold face.
He also held a gray-gold double-barreled trench gun, apparently made by a dwarven master, a brutal weapon with two barrels and an axe-bladed bayonet, each large enough to fit a baby's fist.
"Click"
The Major loaded the deer in a handsome gesture, and under Natalie's surprised gaze, he shrugged his shoulders and said:
"I disagree with Captain Fenok's insistence that bullets can't deal with vampires, and General Loren taught us that any question must be answered by actual combat, so I'm sorry. Can I borrow your prey for a fire test? ”
"Why is you in the Hunting Illusion?"
Natalie snapped:
"You're a non-combatant!"
"Ah, your illusion was so sudden, I couldn't get out."
Major Fraser had a headache and said:
"Besides, I'm not the only one who was involved in the accident."
"Huh"
Seeing that the two guys in front of him actually chatted with each other, and they didn't take themselves too seriously, the white-haired female vampire pounced on him again with a snort.
This time it's faster, and it's going to be faster than a bullet to take out this daring human major.
But.
"Bang"
Another shot knocked her back again.
Natalie looked to her left this time, and Miss Miriam, who had a gloomy face, also walked out with her scarlet handcuff, compared to Major Fraser's persona, this fierce Transcian girl was not so well-cultivated.
She carried a gun and yelled:
"Can you bastards give us a hint before you start a spell? I'm the real non-combatant, okay! ”
——
"Huh"
Outside a deserted village a little distance from Cadman City, Maxim, who was sitting in front of the carriage and eating dry food, looked up.
In the darkness of the pre-dawn night, a figure flew down, and as it landed, it folded its wings in a strange gesture, and then strode towards him.
"Maxim? Ah, my 'monster' brother, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. ”
The fellow made an enthusiastic gesture and greeted Maxim with open arms as if he were an old friend, and Maxim put down the dry food in his hand, stood up and pulled down his visor, and said to the visitor in a hoarse voice:
"Hello, Arthur, it's been a long time, congratulations on becoming the vampire of your dreams."
"I'm just one step ahead of you, my loyalty and potential have been seen by Lord Jade and given a new lease of life by my generous master in times of crisis.
But don't worry.
Didn't you find a new owner for yourself too?
Although Lord Murphy has a reputation in the family. Hehe, but it doesn't matter, he's a good match for you.
Monsters and waste."
Arthur, the tall vampire in front of him, seemed to be familiar with Maxim, and he was squeezing his eyebrows and making nasty jokes.
He stood a few paces away from Maxim, looked at the "brother" in front of him with scarlet eyes, and looked at the carriage behind him.
He could feel a weak vampire in the carriage.
It should be Mrs. Triss whom Master Jade wanted.
"It's good that you brought her on your orders, Mark! I'm glad to see that you're still maintaining your proud loyalty, and Mistress Jade will be pleased to reward you for that. ”
The vampire Arthur waved his hand and said to Maxim:
"You can leave, and I'll take care of the rest."
"Is it Lord Jed's order?"
Maxim asked.
This superfluous question made Arthur twitch unpleasantly, and he endured the impatience in his heart, and said:
"Of course, didn't I say you could go? You didn't have that much to do before. ”
Maxim looked at the night around him.
It was the darkest hour before dawn, and there was silence around the deserted village, perfect by the standards of a tomb, and he moved his finger and said:
"You're coming alone? What about the others? ”
"It's none of your business! Mark, be obedient and let's go. ”
Unwilling to waste any more time with his good brother in the past, Arthur crossed Maxim and walked towards Lady Trissy's carriage.
Behind him, Maxim gently grasped the swift sword named "Ambition and Dream" at his waist, and he said in a dumb voice:
"Arthur, remember here?"
"Here?"
Arthur the vampire looked around, and he replied impatiently:
"Isn't this just an abandoned village? There were places like this everywhere during the Ten Years War, what the hell do you want to say? ”
"Looks like you've forgotten, it's a pity."
The blade slowly unsheathed.
The blade, glowing green, made a sound as it rubbed against the edge of the scabbard, like some kind of eerie howl.
Behind the vampire, Maxim moved his shoulders and whispered:
"This is where we were both born, growing up together, wandering together, being adopted by Lord Jed together, becoming blood servants together, and imagining the future together in a dimly lit shack.
They call me 'monster' and they call you 'Hercules'.
Those distant ones are like a lifetime ago, right? Arthur. ”
"Mark! Take your weapons back! ”
The vampire has realized that something is not quite right.
He grasped the swift sword of the same style at his waist, turned to Maxim, who had made a bloody vulture swordsmanship, and said:
"Don't be stupid!"
To this final warning, Maxim's response was.
Charge!
"Bell"
The two blades collided almost in the next moment.
Maxim's charge was easily blocked by Arthur the Vampire, who was known for his brute strength before accepting the initial embrace, and was visibly strengthened in terms of strength after becoming a Vampire.
The two of them staggered their weapons, and the power was so great that sparks flew down the blades of their swords, and they stood almost face to face outside the deserted village.
Time seemed to pause at this moment, and the scarlet eyes stared at the visor that blocked his expression, but he could still see the disappointed eyes that seemed to burn with fire in the gap.
"You tampered with the results of the lottery, right?"
Maxim said in a dumb voice:
"You were supposed to bring eight blood slaves to support Lord Murphy, you know that in Jed's eyes, we low-level blood servants are not human at all, and you know the result of that trip
But you chose to push me out anyway! ”
He was met with silence and a sudden burst of murderous intent.
As the vampire Arthur's arm pushed forward, Maxim was pushed out, and he then regained his footing, the tip of his sword hanging down.
"Wouldn't it be nice to survive?"
The blood wings behind Arthur spread and closed, and in the increasingly indifferent wind, a few clumps of tumbleweed passed under the feet of the two of them as if no one was around, and Arthur, who was already a real vampire, said in a deep voice:
"Why bother with things that make people unhappy? Did you know that I was so glad to see you come back alive, my monster brother. ”
"No, I don't blame you."
Maxim stepped forward again to attack.
The Blood Vulture Swordsmanship, which had broken through to the master level in a series of bloody battles, flashed with a deadly edge in the night, but it was not fatal to vampires.
After all, it was only basic swordsmanship, and at this time, it was still strengthened by the night, although Arthur was only a "vampire baby" who had just been born for seven days, he relied on his instinct to easily deal with Maxim's attack after sword.
"I even want to thank you! It was this stab you made in the back to your 'monster' brother that seemed to make both of us find what we craved.
You've got Jed's appreciation.
And I have found a lord worthy of true allegiance, and my loyalty that has nowhere else to give is full of value. ”
Maxim's voice grew louder and louder, and the offensive became more and more urgent.
Arthur, who was opposite him, remained silent until he finished shouting what he was thinking, and suddenly burst out with a sword that broke through Maxim's sword-like blockade and stabbed him in the shoulder, as if intending to use this sword to stop Maxim's "suicide action".
However, this inevitable sword was dodged by Maxim with a strange sliding step, and then struck sideways like a flash in the next moment, and the whistling blade picked Arthur's helmet, causing the delicate scarlet helmet to fly out and smash to the ground.
Flying out was also a strand of hair and a few drops of blood belonging to a vampire.
"I really don't blame you, brother."
Maxim retracts the sword pose.
As Arthur watched in amazement, he held his sword in one hand in front of him, the first rays of morning light slowly emerging behind him, and the still cold wind whistled through the armour and hair of the two.
"There is no personal vendetta in this battle, just that you have to fulfill Jed's orders, and I must be loyal to my lord. That's all. ”
The loyal servant pushed the visor and said in a deep voice:
"Arthur, only one of our two brothers will leave alive, please, please be serious!"
"You monster!"
The vampire realizes that he has fallen into Maxim's trap the moment he sees the morning light appear, and this guy has been delaying time with strange language to negate his advantage in the night.
Arthur felt cheated, obviously Maxim was not so clever and cunning before!
It seems that he is not the only one who has been transformed in the past seven days.
And the anger that comes from his heart may be mixed with a little guilt and the shame when the little trick is exposed, so that he finally stops showing mercy.
He was confident that he would kill Maxim with this set of swordsmanship taught by Lord Jade himself, however, the five consecutive swords made the ominousness in Arthur's heart more and more real, and in the next moment, Maxim stabbed him in the left shoulder with the same posture but obviously more skillful Tomb Sword Guard swordsmanship.
The blade slid and blood splattered.
"You! How could you."
"Well, Master Murphy taught! He valued me and did his best to nurture me, not only giving me hope but also teaching me wisdom. My lord is much more generous than that bullshit Jade, I said, Arthur.
Seriously! My brother.
otherwise
You're going to die! ”
