"I can't imagine how so many people survived in the dangerous Vulture Corridor? They survived for ten days and ten nights, where did they get their food? ”

In the barren land of the inner city of Cadman, Miss Miriam, who received the news and ran to take over the underground survivors with the camp guards and a group of officials, asked Triss who was riding a horse beside her, suspiciously:

"Is the Blood Vulture Corridor that big?"

"The Bloodvulture Clan has been entrenched here for 400 years, my child, if it weren't for the vampires who didn't want to rat the locals, we could have dug up a new Cadman City with their claws in the ground. The corridor is so large that you can't imagine it, and there are some special spaces in it that have been distorted by hidden spells.

The current vampire juniors have no idea how many secret houses are hidden in the layers of underground.

Alas, I have to say again here that Lord Ben also had his own luxurious single room in the cloister, and the bedroom alone was bigger than my hapless house! ”

Tracey was still that drunk.

Dess was discouraged by Murphy's refusal to enter the dangerous corridor with him, and by the time she received the news from beneath the corridor a few hours earlier, she had drowned herself in the drink and continued to sleep and die.

It was Miriam who dragged her out of the bed.

After all, now that Murphy is running to fight, then the only one left in the camp who can suppress the scene is Tracey.

Although Miriam is the camp director, the Redhead is sensible enough to maintain her judgment of the truth, which is that her current authority comes from Murphy's appointment.

This is how the system of power in the Translancia region is,

At least now.

"Your camp is built around 1,000 people, and while there's already a rough order, suddenly accepting twice as many survivors right now would put your system of governance to the test.

I am pessimistic about this. ”

Beside Miriam, Major Fraser, dressed in the Plantagenet Kingdom uniform, performs his duties as the "eyes and ears of the King", holding a notebook detailing everything he sees and hears during his travels in Cadman City.

In the face of his evaluation, Miriam was very unhappy and crossed her arms and said:

"That's what we need to face, Your Excellency, and I don't bother you about that. Everyone here has a reasonable and reasonable hatred for the Plantagenet Kingdom, so I think you'd better worry about your safety. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Miriam."

Major Fraser replied with a blank look:

"As you said, that's what I need to worry about, and I think King Louis will be surprised by what is happening here, especially with regard to His Excellency the 'Knight of Nantes' Couder, who has been missing from the Anjou region for nearly a hundred and ten years."

The Major looked at the Tribune Kudel, who was being carried out of the cloister on a stretcher by several able-bodied survivors, who had fallen into a deep sleep under the Miss's psionic spell.

The ordinary people he protected were afraid that Lord Kuder would be burned by the sun, and thoughtfully made a simple shed for him on a stretcher.

"You know him?"

Miriam looked curiously at Major Frazier, who explained without hesitation:

"My family has lived in Anjou for generations, and my favorite folktale when I was a child was about the 'Nantes Ranger' Kudel.

Active in the era of nearly two hundred years ago, he was a gifted knight of the Anjou region, participated in the expulsion of vampires from the Church of Avalon at a young age, performed in the Second Night War, mainly in the Sax region, and participated in the Church's devastating attack on the Blooddread Clan.

It was the presence of Lord Kudell and countless cathars that drove the blood-feared vampires of the Scourge Sachs and Icebay to the Misty Shores of the South.

There are still sonnets about the Knight of Kuder in the province of Saxophone.

A true folk hero, he is said to have had a chance to earn a knighthood, but unfortunately during the Fourth Plague in the year 1000 A.D., he led a group of guerrilla knights to go missing in battle against the gnolls in the Dark Mountains.

Some say he died in battle.

Some people say that he is just tired of fighting so he chooses to remain incognito, but no one thought that this legendary man who had fought against vampires all his life would end up like this, and fate was really cruel to him. ”

"Don't talk like we've done all the bad things."

Tracey, who was on the horse, pursed her lips, and she snorted, adding:

"Your Excellency, you may have forgotten that every time the Black Plague occurred, Transcia was the first line of battle against the Gnoll Warlords, and the Fourth Black Plague, which lasted for a full decade, scorched half the continent.

It's because of the blood vulture vampires you despise fighting to the death on this land that those crazy gnolls can't storm your rich hometown.

The Anjou region is not too far away.

And the exorcist Knight Kudel you call us fought alongside us during the Fourth Black Plague, well, I was already a wreck at that time, so I don't know how he became a member of the Blood Vultures.

But I guess at that time, even Salokdal would not have been able to convert a famous human knight under the watchful eye of the multi-ethnic heroes.

So, the truth is probably that Kudell was 'saved' by us when he was dying. ”

"You turned a human hero into a vampire, so that he could never return to his hometown, or even be soothed by the sun, and shamelessly called him 'salvation'?"

Major Fraser was enraged, and the valiant soldier shouted:

"What a shameless statement! You witch who turns right and wrong upside down! ”

"Hey, that's what we vampires do, if you don't like it, you can go to the cloister and complete a knightly duel with Sarokdal right now. The fact is that a human legend that should have disappeared a hundred years ago has survived to the present, whether you like to admit it or not, you can thank us for meeting the heroes of your childhood today. ”

Tracey doesn't even look at this "little brat".

She put her hand above her eyes, looked at the exit of the corridor in front of her, which was still sending survivors, and yawned again and said to Miriam:

"I'll leave it to you, Mirianne, I'll have to go back to sleep and call me when little Murphy returns."

After saying that, she patted the neck of the war horse under her crotch, and used a little bit of "witch's means", so that the war horse obediently turned around and carried her back to the survivor camp, while the loyal madman vampire guard Bonnie did not leave her "mistress" to guard her "mistress".

And Triss said that she wanted to go back to the camp and get a good night's sleep, and she was not taking the opportunity to fish.

She really slept until the same night, and woke up in a daze when it was nearly midnight, grabbing the wine bottle next to the bed and taking a sip of "sobering soup".

This is the way of life that is in line with the vampire, and when the evening comes, Tracy stretches her waist and moves her body to get up and change into a long dress, planning to take advantage of the night to wander around the camp.

After all, little Murphy entrusted the camp to herself, and although she had been a waste person more than a hundred years ago, she still didn't want little Murphy to be disappointed in her.

Escorted by Bonnie, a loyal mad vampire, Tris leaves her tent.

She nodded with satisfaction as she looked at the chaotic but orderly situation in the camp, it seemed that the confluence of the two survivors was quite smooth, and the cries and laughter of some of the separated family members when they reunited were also emotional.

"Bonnie, do you still have family?"

Tracey asked.

The deranged Bonnie behind her tilted her head and thought for a moment, nodded, and said in a dumb voice:

"Three mistresses."

"Ugh"

Tracy tugged at the corners of her mouth and couldn't help asking:

"You're talking about a lover? It's so emotional. ”

"No!"

The madman Bonnie shook her head very stubbornly, and very seriously stretched out her finger to trace the arc of the woman's body, and said:

"It's a mistress."

"Ahh

Lady Tracey was momentarily shocked.

She suddenly realized that it seemed a bit risky for her to pick up Bonnie back as a guard, and alas, little Murphy was right, she really had to change her habit of picking things up.

"In the future, you stay away when I take a shower and change clothes."

Tracey said in discomfort, and Bonnie nodded and pulled on the mask, not knowing what she was thinking.

But as the two of them reached the edge of the camp, Triss and Bonnie looked up at the night outside the camp almost simultaneously, and a strange aura was approaching in the night. Three majestic horses in scarlet armor emerged from the darkness with their respective heavily armored knights, approaching the area at speeds that flew almost close to the ground.

"The Scout Knight of the Blood Alliance Clan?"

Tracy narrowed her eyes, they came a day and a half later than expected, but little Murphy's side hasn't done it yet, and she has to hold them back!

"Name of the Bloodline ahead!"

Tracey raised her hand and threw out a psychic spell as dense as a net pocket, blocking the horse's path.

The three knights, who were visibly skilled in arching their horses, completed the deceleration almost instantaneously, and responded to the neighing of the front hooves of the majestic horses like tanks:

"Three Pioneers of the Blood Alliance Knights! Who are you? ”

"Former Elder of the Blood Vulture Clan, Trissy!"

Tracey replied briefly, and the other party immediately exclaimed:

"Lady Tracey? Haven't you been dead for more than a hundred years? Every year, our lords will send roses to your crown on the day of their acquaintance with you."

"Huh?"

Tracey's eyes widened, and she quickly recalled some past events that made her uncomfortable, and asked in a subtle tone:

"Who is the Knight Lord you belong to?"

"First Lord Paliano Gelci Cappadocia!"

The scout replied proudly:

"Nicknamed 'Blade of Dignity', Lady Trissy, Lord is chatting and laughing with the commander of the Winter Wolf Legion at the Krimu Fortress. He'll arrive at Cadman City in two days and will be a pleasure to see you.

After all, he has emphasized many times that you are his muse."

"It's really that neurotic! But what about the original First Lord, my good sister Lily Hugo Bartoli? Why did her former lieutenant become a knight lord? And also! There are enough psychotic vampires in Cadman City.

Beg him not to come again. ”

"Well, Lord Lily has been killed in the last Black Plague, and since then, the Knights of Paliano have taken over her banner and team at the behest of Lord Paliano."

The Recon Knights reported:

"And I have to quibble a few words for my lord, although he seems to be romantic, he is actually an innocent person"

"I know better than you what kind of madman he is! If Paliano had come, I'd rather ask old Edward and his wolf cubs for help! What a hell! ”

Triss was shocked again, and then scolded in some anger:

"You unobtrusive lord can hook up with dozens of women a year, and being treated as a goddess by that promiscuous bastard just lowers my style. Can I ask Lord Pa Ying for another Knight Lord to help?

The second lord or the third lord can do it, although they have their own problems, but after all, I was also a sister to those two little sisters during the third black plague."

"Well, I'm afraid that's not going to work."

The Scout Knight of the Blood Alliance Knights jumped off his horse, and he walked quickly to Tracy and gave a standard knightly salute, and then said:

"We're here not just in response to Miss Femis's invitation, Lady Trace, but also to warn. The fifth black plague is coming! ”

"Black plague? This time! Are you kidding? No! Is the world joking with us? What did the Blood Vulture Clan do to deserve this kind of heavenly thunder treatment? ”

"Trissy! Are you there? ”

Just as Triss was speechless for the bad news she had brought to the Blood Alliance Knights, the Orb of Arithmetic she had strapped to her wrist suddenly vibrated and she took a few steps back in anger and put the thing to her ear.

Murphy's voice came from within, with a sense of weakness and helplessness:

"I really don't want to involve you, but we just discovered that there's an open subspace rift at the bottom of the Blood Vulture Corridor."

"Subspace rifts? At this time? Over here? Mother of the Night, no wonder we are in such a bad situation, it turns out that we are to blame! Blanched, I think I must have drunk too much and hallucinated, how could I be so unlucky?

Maybe I haven't drunk enough."

Tracey sighed and reached out to tuck the ends of her hair in front of her forehead.

She looked at the night in front of her and took a deep breath, she felt the weakness and worry in Murphy's words, and whispered:

"Wait! I'll go right over! Don't be afraid, little Murphy, Tracey is here. ”

"Hmm."

Murphy let out a nasal sound and cut off communication, and Tracey let out a long breath and tied her loose hair back into a simple, neat braid.

This was the most classic hairstyle of the "Scarlet Witch" back then, and then she looked back at the three heavily armed Blood Alliance knights behind her.

She snapped her fingers and said:

"Send a message to that dog thing in Paliano, I don't care who he's talking to, he must be in the ruins of Cadman City in three hours!"

"Uh, ma'am."

The Scout Knight replied without humility or arrogance:

"An ancient person like you should be able to understand the impact of the Black Plague on the entire continent, and in accordance with the duties of the Blood Alliance Knights and the Knightly Pact, the First Lord must convey our discoveries in the Dark Mountains to the commanders of the various factions in person.

In the face of such a major event, the internal affairs of the Blood Vulture Clan should be postponed"

"I'm not asking you right now! Soldier! ”

Tracey said coldly:

"It's not like I'm talking to you about the Black Plague that will destroy the continent for a few months, I know more about your Knight Convention than you, I was next to you when it was revised for the third time by Lord Pa Ying, and the three new articles added to that revision were all suggestions I made!

I'm talking to you about a subspace rift that's opening under the ruins of Cadman City!

My bloodline has just discovered its existence.

It is highly likely that it had set up an anchor in the material world ten days ago, and with my shallow knowledge of subspace psionic energy, it is estimated that it will not be more than three days before it actually opens.

So, I ask you to report this matter to Paliano and Lord Pa Ying at once!

Remember!

There are only 3 hours, and if the First Lord can't make it, then, we'll take care of the matter ourselves, with all the consequences.

We take it upon ourselves! ”

With that, Tracy wrapped her braided braid around her neck and hung it over her chest, leaning slightly over the scout knight who was stunned, and then turned to summon her three-eyed crow spirit pet Webber, who strode away with Bonnie in the latter's ominous quack.

The scout knight watched Tracey disappear, and then a spirit came to his senses.

Immediately felt out the rune of the knight in his arms and crushed it, and in the next moment, the psionic fireworks of the blood alliance knight went straight into the sky and exploded at the end of the night.

Subspace rifts.

He hadn't heard the word for a long time, it was like some experience from a previous life, after all, the last time this thing appeared was the immediate result of the overnight demise of 300,000 people and the extinction of a vampire clan.

Truly!

Lady Triss was right, this thing was much more dangerous than the Black Plague that was brewing at this time and would hit the continent in a few months.
