"That Hogg is so clever! I thought it would pick the elite brute who had won four games in a row tonight, but it chose the weak guy who was almost bitten to death by the Astral Lynx. The weak gnolls were brought out of the arena and nearly brought Hogg to his knees.

It will also win hearts and minds and buy it a healing potion. ”

The little reed, who had followed Lumina out of the Crimson Keep and headed for the Dark Barony at dawn, said:

"Hogg obviously has his own strategy, and although he is still rough and easy to see through, this guy is really smart."

"It's learning."

Lumina Says:

"Learning from you, learning from everyone it meets, it's been through the process of Master Murphy recruiting it, so it naturally knows how to recruit its own subordinates.

If I had to guess, Hogg probably wouldn't be recruiting those elite gladiators until he had his own base, and would probably start with the Black Iron Gnolls and then the elite kobolds to hunt down ghouls in the sewers and reorganize his new clan.

No matter how wasteful this guy is, he is the person who was the head of the clan before.

It's not as stupid as you think.

And when we left, Hogg already had the Talon Knife of the Blood Rat Gang emblem in his hand, and it must have made some kind of deal with the cunning Dorothy.

Oops, Mrs. Water is right.

It doesn't seem like we need to be involved in this quest all the time, just help it at some critical moment, the ghouls on the third floor of the sewers are not easy to deal with, there are a lot of elite monsters in it, and I guess Hogg will ask for our help at the end of the day.

Speaking of which, why do I feel like we're raising bosses?

Do you think Hogg will become a five-player or team-based boss in the future? ”

"Do you need to talk about that?"

Xiao Wei Ming threw a piece of candy into his mouth, chewed and said:

"Just look at its name? Calling such a domineering name, if you don't be a trumpet killer, it's just blind, and the development team specially buried this easter egg. Come, I'll fly you over, Mrs. Water and they are still waiting for us.

Brother Woo Meow, this 'big bird turns around' is so fierce, their team score is almost higher than that of the student party's 'beast group'.

We'll have to work harder, too.

The team score is definitely not as good as Brother Bang, but it can't fall out of the top three, that's too embarrassing. ”

"I won't let you fly with me."

Lumina shouted:

"You almost threw me to death last time!"

"Oops, it was just an accident last time, I already have a pilot license now, I'm already an old Siji, it's very stable, don't be afraid, come and behave, I'll fly with you." Don't move in the sky, it's not good to drop you. ”

"Huh"

Huge blood-colored batwing fluttered in the night sky as dawn approached, swaying and taking off with a screaming Lumina, and spun around the air a few times towards the Dark Barony.

——

At the same time, the far north of Transnesia, at the end of the county of Sico, was almost in the forest where Transencia meets the Gulf.

Lady Fimis walked out of the half-collapsed watchtower behind her with her neck moving, and in her other hand she held a thing as crystal clear as a bloodstone.

A vampire heart, or a freshly baked thing.

Tracey has been collecting this kind of stuff that is very cruel to vampires, but not to absorb the power within.

According to the Grand Duchess, after the Blood Vulture Clan gets the new Holy Blood Pool in the future, the blood essence contained in the hearts of these traitors can make the Holy Blood Pool enter its heyday at a faster rate, and only if the Holy Blood Pool is sufficient enough can the Blood Vulture Clan transform more and more elite clansmen without first embracing.

Of course, this method of using blood essence in reverse is "evil magic" even in the eyes of vampires, but with the current withering posture of the blood vulture clan, although Fimis resisted this method, she did not resist the order from Tris.

After all, traitors are to be punished severely!

Rather than leaving their hearts to rot in the sun, let their death add another fire to the rebirth of the clan.

But at this time, there was no joy on Fimes's face after the victory of the battle, on the contrary, the face with baby fat was filled with a sense of dissatisfaction, helplessness and anger.

It can be seen that she is not in a good mood tonight.

"Huh"

In the faint wind, E sister Adele gathered her wings and landed beside the eldest lady.

She tied her hands on her flat belly in a classic posture and whispered:

"Miss, the traitors around have been cleared, no one has escaped from our ambush circle, these are almost the last group of entrenched traitors hidden in the county of Earl Sico, and the rest have fled and are not worthy of any further attention."

"Well, the majesty of Archduke Tris has been proclaimed, and the traitor has been duly punished, but we are still a step too late."

Fiemis said with some regret:

"I had just 'interrogated' their leader a little, and according to her, most of the Blood Vulture traitors had crossed the border to the Sachs area, and it was clear that someone was there to pick them up. It seems that it is not only the Thorn Clan that wants to bite us while we need it, but the Wolf Venom Clan is not willing to be lonely.

The guys who can be left here are old, weak, sick and disabled, and don't have much oil and water.

Pack up their belongings and we'll be ready to return. ”

"You've really changed."

Adele whispered:

"You wouldn't have collected these things before, and you thought it was unseemly and shameful to take supplies from the dead."

"I used to think I was really my father's baby."

Philimis rolled his eyes and said:

"But it turns out that this world is far from being as gentle as I thought, so let's not talk about the past, it's not just Murphy who collects these items, the Knights of the Blood Alliance have similar principles.

I've been with them a few times in the Dark Mountains, and those elite knights never miss any opportunity to replenish themselves, and the Lord even gave the knights a special training course to loot for their own use.

Compared with my pragmatic compatriots, I was too simple and stupid before. ”

"You'll make a good leader, I'm sure of that."

Adele comforted her a little, and then asked:

"So, about Lady Cecilia"

"There's no news, there's no news, it's as if she never appeared, or even existed."

Fiemis frowned and said:

"If Mary hadn't sworn to the Mother of the Night that she had seen the traitors with her own eyes, I would have even thought it was Murphy's fabrication, and that my mother didn't look like an ordinary person.

Maybe someone else is erasing the message she left behind.

I know she was born in the city of Sico, but that city has now become a plague-ravaged place of death.

Compared to here, the sewers of the Crimson Keep are a comfortable nest.

We couldn't go into the ruins of the city to search for useful information, and the local Sico Hussars were said to exist, and we stayed here for almost a week, but we didn't hear anything from them.

Locals are helping them hide their tracks.

It will be very difficult for Murphy to occupy and rule this place. ”

"He'll do it, Master Murphy has always had a knack for it."

Adele says:

"Shall we return now, then? In the news that the Orb of Arithmetic is coming back that Master Murphy is in the midst of a purge against the Gnolls, and he will need our strength. ”

"Well, I can't find those legendary hussars anyway, and it's a complete waste of time to stay here."

Fiimis nodded and said:

"I've tested before, and it will take some time for the psionic plague remnants in the ruins of Sike City to be reduced to the point where mass entry is allowed, and we'll do it again. Send a message to Mary and the vampires of the other Midnight factions.

We leave here before dawn.

That's right, Adele.

Are that Andrei and his minions still honest? Did they have any deviant behavior? ”

"No, they have been fulfilling their assigned tasks, very honestly, I personally monitor them, but that Earl of White Mountain really seems to have accepted the status quo that he is managed by Master Murphy."

Adele frowned and said:

"He'll even take the initiative to stop his subordinates from having friction and conflict with Mary, but this guy is a gloomy vampire, and I think he must be plotting something in private. After all, as long as Lord Murphy is unable to fulfill his agreement with Her Majesty the Wolf Girl, André can ascend to the throne as the Governor of Transancia.

With such a big interest involved, he will not be indifferent. ”

Philimis nodded, she grabbed a strand of her hair, and after a few seconds, she said:

"You say, Adele, do you want us to take the initiative to create an 'opportunity'."

"Bang"

Before the words could be spoken, a bright cloud of psionic fireworks exploded in the night sky behind the two of them.

It's not the teleportation fireworks used by the Vulture Clan, but the emblem of the Thorn Clan.

But it's still some distance from the border of the Nordtov Kingdom, so this fireworks must have been shot by Andrei's gang.

They're in trouble!

They were crying for help.

"This is an opportunity!"

Adele Says:

"Maybe we can sit idly by?"

"But what else could threaten him and a few of his servants in the county of Sico? They're all black iron level vampires, so even if they can't beat them, can't they run? ”

Femis opened the bloody wings behind his back, narrowed his eyes and said:

"Maybe they stumbled upon the guy we've been searching for, and isn't this the same territory that those elusive hussars had been? They appeared! Just in time!

Gather your staff! Adele.

Let's go check it out! ”

Then, the eldest lady flew alone to the location where the fireworks were raised for help.

She flew rapidly through the air, and had reached the Silver Tier, allowing her racial potential to be redeveloped.

Unlike the Black Iron Tier, which focuses on laying the foundation, the Silver Tier ascension is the deepest level of power in the body, to be precise, transcendent creatures like vampires have to tap their power to the source of the bloodline!

Commonly known as "atavism".

For example, Murphy and Maxim's special bioweapon, Claw of the Night, is a manifestation of atavism to a very deep level.

Of course, this atavism is usually only a symbolic description, referring to the promotion of racial superiority while compensating for racial deficiencies, without actually returning the vampire to the fierce night bat nature.

For the Blood Vulture Clan, their most important feature at this stage is that their wings grow in size until they form the almost dragon-winged wings of Tracey and Sallokdal.

That means that the vampire's racial potential has been fully exploited, and the benefits of bigger wings are certainly not just good-looking.

The increased flight speed will also allow the Children of the Vulture to take their mastery of the skies to a new level, and even change the way they fight in the past.

Like now.

It took the eldest lady less than a minute to cross a large area of mountains and forests to the sky above the battlefield.

With her backhand, she pulled out a Silver and Red Intertwined Bloodline Battle Staff, with a unique gargoyle carving on the top and a spiked spearhead on the end, which had been given to her by Lord Pa Ying in her previous interrogation.

The Seiko Dominator-level weapon named "Night Howling" is a divine weapon gifted by the elven craftsman when the Lord was "young".

In terms of craftsmanship and grade alone, it is no different from the Serenade Scepter in Tracey's hand, which may be some kind of "compensation" from the Lord for Femis.

After all, according to the blood tradition, the position of the Grand Duke of the Blood Vulture should be hers.

As soon as this thing was taken out, a haunting aura of blood spirit spread out from the top of the staff, staining half of the night sky into a scarlet light curtain, just like striking a scarlet coordinate in the air, and then throwing a large range of spiritual energy restraint into the mountains and forests below with the graceful swing of the eldest lady.

In the darkness of the forest, Count André and his loyal servant Vestal had been trapped in a glade, and the other Thorn minions were on the periphery under the repeated onslaught of a hussar.

Riding tall armoured horses, these legendary Sico Guardians unleashed a ferocious charge through the woods with near-impossible swiftness that cavalry would have been impossible.

The surrounding forests were completely unable to stop their high-speed movements, as if the mountain forest itself was protecting them.

This is not a delusion!

This forest is one of the sacred places of the mountain people and the barbarians of the Icebay, and the Sike Hussars are descendants of both, these plate knights are each more than two meters tall, and their most distinctive feature is that the back of the heavy plate armor is dotted with strange "wings", like some kind of armor ornament.

However, in this world of psionic beings, the wings of the hussars are by no means simply beautiful.

As they lean forward, the "wings" behind the armor will spread straight, bringing the sound of whistling wind while helping them stabilize their stance and increase the force of the impact, and even deploy a psionic shield to protect the knight if necessary.

In other words, the essence of the Sico Huscarasses is a group of psionic shock heavy cavalry, and they are the highest level of force that can be born in the land of Translasia.

The battle formation of the armed blood servants of the Blood Vulture Clan was only able to disappear under the charge of the hussars, and the god-like General Loren was also overwhelmed by this group of hussars, and even had to use the plague weapon, which was also very unseemly for the dwarves, in the battle two years ago to destroy the city of Sico.

Are the dwarves who care so much about honor really willing to poison their enemies with the plague?

No!

If there was a choice, he would not use such a vicious and non-martial way.

But isn't it impossible?

After all, the constant bombardment of the extra-cannon cannon of the city wall released by the proud psionic divisions of the Chain Tower could not stop the heavy charge of the Sike Hussars across the battlefield, what else could he do as a half-dwarf?

Turning back to the present, the eldest lady's psionic energy imprisonment came at the right time.

The scarlet streamer spilled into the ground like a quagmire, causing the devastating impact of the rainbow heavy cavalry squad to sink into the quagmire at once, and their speed continued to decrease, re-stabilizing the already precarious Thorn Clan's defenses.

Seeing more blood vulture vampires swarming in the dark night, the commander of this winged cavalry squad immediately blew the whistle, and the twelve cavalry also quickly turned around and ran into the mountains and forests with artistic horse control skills, and disappeared almost in the blink of an eye.

It is obviously a heavy cavalry, but it has the flexibility of light cavalry, which is really breathtaking.

However, the eldest lady had already marked one of the cavalrymen with psionic marks, and she ignored the Earl of White Mountain, who thanked him below, flapped her wings and rushed into the mountains and forests like the wind, and quickly pursued the enemy, and soon blocked the knight in a mountain pass.

The latter didn't say a word, set up his rifle and was about to attack the eldest lady.

But people can fly, no matter how powerful your cavalry is, can you break the rules of physics and rush into the sky?

This is obviously impossible.

"Don't be a trapped beast fight, I'm not here to kill you!"

The eldest lady flapped her huge wings and hovered over the mountain, and she said in a cold voice:

"I have brought the goodwill of Count Cadman, I want to speak with your chief, for the sake of your life, dismount now! I promise to give you treatment that matches your status."

"For the sake of your life, lay down your arms now! Female vampires! We promise to give you treatment that matches your status. ”

Another deep voice rang out from the forest, with a coldness and murderous intent.

The eldest lady suddenly turned around, and saw more than thirty hussars under the command of a particularly tall figure, quietly walking out of the surrounding forest, including two psionic knights holding steel staffs shaped into war spears.

At the same time, they cast a spell to call for the spiritual energy of the forest to converge, just like the scene of the smuggler's woodland, which repeated the scene, blocking the sky and trapping the eldest lady in the mountain forest.

So it's a trap?

Is the confident self the prey?

"I hate the forest!"

She whispered.

The Night Howling Staff in his hand turned around and was held by both hands, and the aura of the blood spirit continued to spread, allowing the eldest lady to enter a real combat state.

She was no longer the little girl who would be scared to cry by the old knights, and she had learned how to deal with the current situation when she fought alongside the knights of the Blood Alliance.

What's more, Lord Pa Ying also taught her how to use another power in her body.

"Click"

With a strange sound, blood-colored vines stretched out from the shadows of the surrounding forest like giant serpents, making the moonlight at dawn take on a lingering scarlet, and the whole thing became shadowy, a vision that made the hussars' horses neigh uneasily.

"I'll say it one last time!"

Fimis's eyes were bloody, and in the midst of her long hair flying, she said:

"Tied up! Knights, your lord, Lord Murphy, wants to talk to you! I am his messenger, with good intentions, and of course a part of the power that belongs to Midnight in my hands.

I have opened my hands.

To continue the war from which we have all suffered? Or do you want to earn yourself a peace that you don't want, but you need?

Now, make your choice! ”
