The vampire wore a blood-red, evil-looking armor with black energy that was clearly visible to the naked eye like smoke. Cade knew this armor - this was the armor of the Blood Knight in the Kalean Vampire. He hadn't seen a real Blood Knight, but he had seen fragments of armor. And he also knows very well that the Blood Knight is the elite unit of the Vampire Queen, the kind of vampire who is really good at fighting.

Baron Pinold is here!

Cade took a half-step back in utter surprise. It can't be! It's an illusion! His intellect tried to deny this reality, but eventually accepted what was happening in front of him.

In the vampire's hand, he held a two-handed greatsword, the blade of which was haunted by the brilliance of magic. When a soldier tried to attack a vampire, the vampire's greatsword sliced through the air like lightning with a whistling sound, slicing the soldier in two.

And the vampire is not alone, he is followed by a group of undead soldiers dressed in ancient armor and armed with swords that glow with evil light. These things look a lot like skeletons, but their bodies are not so decomposed that only bones remain. Through the armor, you can still see the muscles on their bodies—of course, they have long since dehydrated and dried up.

These undead were dressed in ancient armor made of black iron and bronze, which had been dusty and rusty over time. The weapons they wield glowed with evil light from the darkness of the dark arts. Some of the soldiers tried to stop the undead, but were instantly killed in the fight. These undead are far more agile and swift than skeletons, and the weapons in their hands can effortlessly cut through human armor and flesh and bones.

In fact, the vampire team came without any obstacles. Most of the soldiers shrank aside in fear and surprise, not daring to stop the advance of the horrific team. The few soldiers who tried to fight were instantly killed at the hands of the vampires or their undead minions. The vampire and his undead minions ignored the retreating men, and instead walked straight ahead, towards the innermost room, where Cade was now.

The vampire walked all the way to the back room in this mixture of surprise, astonishment, and fear. Here, the vampire takes off his helmet and reveals his true face to the eyes of all.

Cade froze. Of course, it's not just CapitaLand, it's everyone who is stunned.

"It's you......" After a long time, Caeder finally squeezed the sentence out of his throat. "Should I call you Ashrufat, or should I call you Baron Pinod?" he clearly felt a slippery cold sweat in his hands, regret gnawing at his heart like an ant like an insect. One percent of the possibility, although only one percent of the possibility, was met by him.

But at this point, there is no turning back.

"I'm not Baron Pinold. Ashrufat replied coldly. His gaze swept over Cade and his companions. "My name is Ashrufat, and that's always the name. I am the Scarlet Duke Ashrufat. ”

His gaze rested on Neil. "I'm not Pinold, but I don't mind taking his place!" he whispered, then looked at Cade again. That gaze makes people never have any luck mentality.

"Huh...... Interesting!" Cade had drawn his sword at some point. "Even if you're a vampire, you won't be able to beat me!

By the time he uttered the last words, his body had already jumped forward, slashing a sword at a speed almost beyond that of a human, slashing straight at the vampire's neck. Ashrufat swung his sword to block the grid, and the moment the two swords intersected, Cade's sword was directly burst into the air. It's not because of the disparity in wrist strength, it's because Caede doesn't hold the sword hard at all. The moment the sword was knocked away, he grabbed the vampire's arm with a slam of his hand.

A triumphant smile appeared on Cade's face. No creature could withstand the electric shock he released from his hand, not even a giant elephant had to lie down. In an instant, he mustered all of his strength, and blue arcs of lightning leaped across the vampire's armor.

"I'm going to settle your blood!" Cade clenched his teeth, bursting through his teeth. It was the power of the gods that the gods had bestowed upon him as a holy knight, and with this power he had defeated countless enemies in his way. No one knew how the gods of the Dao Star Domain gave mortals the power of manpower, and those holy knights all woke up from a dream and suddenly found that they had superpowers. Moreover, the grant of this power is eternal, and even if Cade is no longer a Holy Knight now, he can still freely dispose of this power.

The vampire looked like his whole body was engulfed in electricity, and his body writhed in the lightning as if it was about to fall. Cade pushes his superpowers further, ecstasy floods his body, and victory seems to be within reach like fruit hanging from a tree.

Suddenly, there was a strange sensation on my wrist. Before Cade even had time to think about what was going on, the vampire was out of his grasp and grabbed his wrist in turn. Then, he felt a complete loss of control of his body's center of gravity, and then he realized that it was a vampire who threw him against the wall like a toy.

On the other side, another battle has ended. The vampires' undead minions easily killed everyone who did it without any loss. The undead brought by these vampires have a great deal of combat power. This is not only because they are well armoured, but also because their muscles, though still there, have long since dehydrated and dried up, and have become unusually tough, making it difficult for enemy weapons to pierce or slice through their bodies.

Now, the vampire is at Cade's side, who has completely lost the strength to resist. The blow had made him dizzy, and the pain in his body clearly told him that he had broken more than one bone.

And even if he is intact, being able to get up and fight again will not change anything. His most powerful stunt didn't work against this vampire. Maybe he should have used the dark magic to fight just now, but the thought disappeared immediately, because using the dark magic on the vampire was just selling water to the riverside, and it was boring to find himself.

Cade gasped and looked at the vampire standing in front of him with a frightened gaze, wondering what the other party would do with him.

"You want vampire blood, right?" Strangely, the vampire didn't kill him as Cade thought. "Okay, then I'll do what you want. ”

The vampire made a hint to the minions. Two undead minions stepped up and grabbed Cade. Then the vampire stretched out his arm and slashed a wound in his arm with his sword. He brought the wound close to Cade's mouth and, in a situation he couldn't resist (in fact, Cade accepted it completely in surprise and didn't resist at all), poured a small amount of his own blood into Cade's mouth.

"You seem to want vampire blood, too. Ashruphat faced the three of Cade's men. Driven by his will, his undead servant immediately grabbed the three men, and he also dripped a small amount of blood from his own wounds into their mouths.

"In that case, you should be satisfied. Ashrufat looked at Cade, who was still confused. The latter was smacking his lips in disbelief, completely unaware of why such a good thing could happen.

Many sane people believe that it is impossible to gain eternal life by drinking the blood of vampires, because if this method was really feasible, then Callian would already be full of vampires - the vampire queen and her subordinates can effortlessly create hundreds or thousands of vampires every day, not only to replenish the losses on the battlefield, but also to further expand the number of vampires. If that were to happen, the war would be a different outcome entirely.

However, through the study of the dark arts, the interpretation of various Callian remnants, and the inference of his own experiments, Cade came to a different result - it was possible, at least theoretically, to drink the blood of a vampire and become a vampire. The main purpose of his visit to Sivania was to obtain vampire blood. Of course, if he didn't get it this way, he would have taken the blood first for some research, rather than drinking it directly.

"You ......," he wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start. Cade looked at the vampire with a puzzled look, but there was no trace of "kindness" on the vampire's face.

Then he immediately knew what he was doing, and a sharp pain suddenly came up from his abdomen, so strong that it seemed like a mouse was biting at his stomach. He let out a groan of pain.

Three of his servants also fell. Everyone was clutching their stomachs, struggling and writhing in intense pain. After a short while, everyone lost consciousness due to the pain.

After dealing with the matter, Ashruphat turned his head and looked at the others in the room. Neil stood to the side with a pale face, writhing his hands restlessly. Eric had recovered a little, barely struggling to half-sit up. And the others all looked at him with horror and uncertainty, wondering what Ashorufat would do with them.

Outside the room, his undead minions—formally known as the Corpse Demons, and Carrie as they call the Grave Guards—have taken control. All the soldiers who dared to resist were killed, and the rest did not dare to act rashly in fear. They can't run away either. As previously analyzed, it only takes a small number of troops outside to block everyone's escape route.

"I ran into Pete before he died. Ashrufat said in a calm tone. He is no longer the lone outsider he was last time, but the ruler of this place. "He told me the truth...... Although my original intention was to come to Pinod, it seems that it is time to change my plan. I thought, if the kind of Kasek, Hassel, and Fuze fellows can be lords, then why can't I? I feel a little better than them! I want me to rule West Vania, and get rid of all the worse guys than me!" His gaze swept over everyone present, "I don't want to force it, but if you can accept that I am a vampire, if you think the same as me, then I am willing to accept your oath of allegiance! I will lead you to this end." ”

After a long time, Neil suddenly fell to one knee. Like him, the others knelt down one by one. This was true for everyone, except for Eric, who did not say it.

Ashruphat walked up to Eric, his eyes met. Through those familiar eyes, Eric suddenly remembered the days when he was imprisoned by the Greenskins. He recognized who the other person was. The last time Ashrufat met him in human form, he couldn't connect him to the Blood Banner Boss for a moment, but at this moment, after knowing the true identity of the other party, Eric understood the truth......

"That's right, I'm the Boss of the Blood Banner. Ashruphat had already read from his expression what he wanted to say. "Eric, you are a very capable man, will you pledge your allegiance to me?"
