Another soldier burst into the room out of breath.

"What's going on?!" this time, without waiting for the other party to speak, Kasek immediately yelled.

"Vampire...... Kill...... It's in!" replied the soldier with a shudder. "There's their spies in town...... They launched a surprise attack and seized the city gates. Then the vampire rushed in with his army of undead. ”

No way!Kasek remembers the battle at Kalean. The main forces of the vampires, those undead creatures such as zombies and skeletons, move very slowly. Since they were able to catch up with the front foot and the back foot, it meant that this force had long been lying in ambush near the city gate.

From head to toe, it's all a trap! That Cade is a liar! It's a spy and spy sent by a vampire!

Anyway, the vampires only had to take the city gates. Kasek knew that he still had seven or eight hundred men under his command, and even if those who were sporadically on duty were deducted, there were at least five hundred. And vampires can't be a real army if they want to ambush their troops outside the city without attracting attention (especially an army that smells of corpses), and the total should not exceed a thousand. In other words, there is still a lot of fighting.

As long as you can drive them out of the city in a street fight...... Then close the city gates, there is a glimmer of hope. After all, he was a city, surrounded by walls.

Then he heard the sound of horses' hooves.

In the streets, people who had no time to flee home cried and shouted to avoid it. Because an undead cavalry is galloping past. These are not ordinary zombies with slow movements, but powerful warriors from ancient times. Vampires evoke the enchanted skeletons of ancient warriors, along with their warhorses.

The figures of the knights, who had long since died, were blurry and difficult to see from a distance, as if they were surrounded by a layer of smoke or glass that had not been wiped clean. This is because they are between the realm of reality and the realm of death. This allows these undead creatures to pass through obstacles without hindrance and run through the streets at full speed.

Driven by the will of the vampire, the Black Knight did not waste even half a second on the road, and went straight to the military camp in the city. It must be said here that Kasek's men were really quick to react. As the sirens sounded outside, the soldiers rushed out of the barracks and lined up, but the vampires were too fast. The city was originally a small city, and the cavalry rushed to the barracks at once, killing the soldiers before they were fully ready.

......

The sounds of fighting, fighting, and roaring on the other side of the barracks gradually subsided.

"Earl, let's get away quickly, it's still too late!" the servant suggested again.

"No!" Kasek was already dressed in his armor and holding his customary two-handed sword, and at this moment, for some reason, he looked extraordinarily calm. Perhaps deep down in his heart, he already knew that the Dao would come today. Perhaps the reward for him itself has implications for this. Although he defeated the vampire queen with his own hands, it was just the last and lucky blow that countless warriors had sacrificed one after another, and on the basis of exhausting the queen's magic and physical strength. It's like defeating the enemy on the battlefield and chasing and killing the enemy's commander, although the warrior who killed the enemy's general deserves great honor and a rich reward, but after all, it is not his own work. If the official is promoted to the third level, it is enough to reward a huge bonus. And he suddenly changed from an ordinary soldier to an earl, and it was not that kind of "honorary title", but a lord who really owned the fief and ruled one side. Even if this place is a remote area, the reward is already incredible.

Perhaps in a sense, the higher-ups are also afraid of the revenge of the remaining vampires. If a vampire chooses to assassinate by personal force, no one would dare to say that they are safe. That's why it's all about his exploits and diverting the attention of the vampires.

Perhaps this was the real reason why he became an earl.

"Let's go. He said to the last few servants beside him. "I'm going to stay, and I'm going to do my duty as a nobleman's last man. ”

His servants' doors were terrified, and most of them dispersed, but two of the most loyal remained. Accompany him, stand in his living room, waiting for the days to come.

The wait was short-lived. Someone was outside banging violently on the main entrance of the lord's mansion, one after the other. If Kasek had the money to buy a better door, he might have been able to hold out a little longer.

Under the action of a huge external force, the door shaft soon began to break, and with a bang, the entire door fell off. Then, a vampire in blood-red armor walked in from the outside. Even if he turned Kasek to ashes, he recognized this armor. This is the elite unit of Callean, all members of which are the armor of the Blood Knights, made up of vampires. In the offensive and defensive battles of Callean, the Blood Knights stubbornly resisted to the end and were finally wiped out. But in order to annihilate this terrible group of warriors, the humans paid a hundred times more casualties than the blood knights.

The vampires were followed by a group of agile undead warriors armed with swords of evil light. They are dressed in ancient armor made of black iron and bronze, which has been dusty and rusty over time. In addition to these undead monsters, there are several living people. They are vampire agents lurking in the city and are now leading the way for their masters.

Kasek's gaze rested on one person. He recognized the bard, a fellow named Neil, who was a frequent visitor to Meno, and Kasek himself had called Neil to the mansion more than once to play for himself. This guy is also a vampire's subordinate?, a wry smile appeared on Kasek's face under his visor, which no one could see.

At this moment, Neil was pointing at Baron Pinold. And the vampire was looking around, observing the situation.

"You don't have to worry, I'm alone!" Kasek said loudly. After being hit by the vampires at the barracks, he knew that the road was completely finished. So he dismissed his guards, attendants, and servants during this time, and let all the people in the entire mansion escape freely. At this moment, apart from the two servants who never left him, there was no one else in the entire lord's mansion.

"Come, Baron Pinold, avenge your Queen!

The vampire stopped, staring at him. If it were a different person, he might have trembled under the gaze of this dark creature. But Kasek had already put life and death aside by this time.

"I'm not Baron Pinold. The vampire replied. "I'm not interested in you killing anyone. Even if you kill Qin Xin, it is not due to your personal ability, but just a small link destined by fate. It doesn't make a difference if you kill Qin Xin or Qin Xin kills you, she will always be knocked down by someone. I don't turn a blind eye to the whole of fate, but cling to an inconsequential little link. ”

This answer made Kasek hesitate for a moment.

"And why are you here?" he asked.

"Because you don't deserve to be a lord at all. The vampire replied. "It's a choice made by your people. I have come to put an end to your rule, and you no longer have the right to rule this land. ”

"I became a nobleman and the rightful ruler of this land by the canonization of the royal family. Do you think that the rebellion you have instigated will be able to deny me my legitimacy?"

"To hell with your royal family!" the vampire scoffed. "When others recognize you as what you are, you are what you are. If others don't admit it, you're just a lucky soldier on the battlefield and you've been entrusted with an inappropriate appointment. I've heard that you gambled to gain recognition and incurred a huge debt...... It's pathetic. ”

"Ridiculous!" Kasek didn't want to continue. This conflict cannot be ended in words. He swung his sword and charged at the vampire.

The vampire greeted him alone with his bare hands. The two met in front of the courtyard. The vampire's Toda restored a glimmer of hope to Kasek, and he used all his strength to combine all the combat skills he had accumulated throughout his life into a sword to try to take down the empty-handed vampire in one blow.

But the vampire slumped down with supernatural speed to avoid the fatal blow, and then dodged to his side. As he swung his sword in an attempt to deliver a second blow, a sword glowing with magic appeared in the vampire's hand. The vampire swung his sword with great force, severing his arm with a single blow.

The vampire's next move followed, and even before he could let out a howl of pain, death sliced through his neck along with the blade. Then he saw the last scene of his life—his headless body falling down.

Eshurufat withdrew his sword and looked back at Kasek's two remaining servants. These two men were, in a sense, Kasek's most loyal subordinates. They chose to stay and face their fate with their masters.

"Take his body away. The vampire pointed his sword at the corpse in front of him, and his sword shimmered and disappeared from his hand. "Although he was a cruel and stupid man, he finally ended his life as a warrior. I also treat him according to the honor of a warrior. You can take his body away. ”

After a short moment, the whole city of Meno fell silent. It was still dusk, and some residents began to leave their homes cautiously, looking around to see how things turned out. The movement in the city was far calmer than expected. The only fighting took place in the area of the barracks, and it ended quickly. Kasek's body was seen being taken away by his servants.

Of course, this result is not too surprising. Those who are even slightly well-informed know that the Count of Cassik has lost control of his native countryside for a long time. His subordinates, especially the tax collectors, couldn't get far out of the city at all. Villages a little further away from the city refused to pay him tribute, and instead accepted the protection of the vampires. On the other hand, the vampires have harassed the city itself enough times. Therefore, the psychological impact caused by the change of ownership of the city this time is not serious. The inhabitants of the city are afraid only of the vampires themselves. The legendary vampires are all cruel, selfish, domineering, and evil and bloodthirsty.
