Section 1 Nightmares
The sound of killing all around shook the ground, and the guns shook the sky. The last rays of the setting sun stained the entire city in a blood-red color.
He and a few of his companions rushed through the ruins of a building and pounced on the vampire who was holding on to his death. A volley of musketeers had already wreaked havoc on the vampire, burrowing every bare spot on his body. Even the vampire was shot several times in the face, and one of the bullets hit the eye, turning one of the vampire's eyes into a terrifying hole of terror dripping with blood.
The companion at the front stabbed the vampire in the neck with a spear. But even with his shaky form, the vampire dodged the blow and grabbed the hilt of the spear with one hand, and plunged the blade into the enemy's chest with the other.
But this is already the most powerful force of this vampire. He continued to rush forward, and with his two companions, he stabbed the blade into the vampire's body, again and again. Fear and excitement washed over his mind, causing him to go berserk and slam at the fallen vampire. Until the other party becomes a mess of flesh and blood, completely immobile.
He gasped. Kill another vampire! At this moment, half of Callean has been reduced to rubble. In a different city, the defenders would have lost their morale and fled in all directions, but these vampires were incredibly stubborn. Until now, with everyone knowing that the outcome of the Dao was decided, the vampires are still stubbornly resisting to the end. On average, for every vampire killed, ten human warriors have to fall. And this exchange ratio is already the best result ever. Originally, killing a vampire would have required more than a hundred deaths.
"Over there!" shouted one of his companions. Then he saw a dilapidated house not far away, where several human warriors were besieging a wounded vampire. The vampire's injuries weren't too serious, and the two sides were attacking and defending, and they couldn't hold each other for a while. He recognized the men as Holy Knights from the shape of the armor.
"We're going to help. A companion wiped the blood from his face and said.
He nodded, then rushed over to that side. Since the Kalean wall was breached, the street fighting has lasted for half a month. Their detachment had been engaged in battle three days earlier, but after only three days of short fighting, there were only three people left in this hundred-man detachment to continue fighting. The captain had already died in battle, and he had become the captain before he knew it.
And the vampires continue to resist. Every vampire is like this, and unless they are completely killed, they will fight to their last breath.
The Holy Knights didn't know what kind of divine power they were using, and the vampire was suddenly sent flying by a huge force, flying half a day high and falling towards them. The vampire struggled to get up, and the three of them took advantage of the void to rush up, swords raised. After a slam of blows, the vampire never moved again.
"Well done. A holy knight chased over to express his gratitude. At this point he saw that one of the holy knights besieging the vampire had fallen, while one of his companions was performing a religious end-of-life ritual for him. It can be seen that the vampire still pulled on a cushion before he died.
"Which unit are you from?" asked the Holy Knight. At this moment, Kalean's battlefield enemy is very clear. As long as it is human, it is an ally, and as long as it is a vampire, it is an enemy.
"Ryan Kingdom, Second Infantry Brigade of the Third Legion. He gave his number. "We were separated from the large army and are now fighting with the musket team. He spat at the vampire's corpse. Not only are these monsters strong, but they are also stubborn one by one. Throughout, not a single vampire surrendered or fled. And just now they killed two vampires, not even belonging to the Blood Knights.
"Muskets, there's a musketeers over there?" the Holy Knight overjoyed. "In the name of the gods, I ask you to come with me at once!"
"Where to go?" he asked.
"Queen!" the Holy Knight gestured to the street in front of him, which was still intact. "The Vampire Queen is over there, in front of the Blood Temple. Kill her and the war will be over! If you let her escape, the vampires will come back again!"
Queen...... The faces of the three people couldn't help but change. Resistance in this area is weak, and the worst vampires should have gathered around the Queen. And the queen of the vampires...... According to legend, the queen of vampires, Qin Xin, is the existence with the most massive magic power and the most powerful combat power among all vampires, and is a powerful warrior and mage that ordinary vampires cannot match. Relying on a few of them, even with the addition of the musket team, it is impossible to ......
His throat rolled. But for a while, he couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse this glorious mission.
The Holy Knight also noticed the faces of the three of them.
"Of course we can't rely on a few of us. The Holy Knight explained. "Our main forces have passed. Our mission is to sweep the perimeter and stop other vampires from sending reinforcements. But the musketeers had to provide fire support. ”
The so-called "main forces" do not refer to the main forces of the coalition forces, but to the Holy Order itself. In fact, even as the fighting progressed, the command of the armies of the countries remained separate. The Holy Knights tried to bring the parties together, but in the end they were unsuccessful.
By this time, the slow musketeers were also approaching. This group of cowards is always cautious, forever staying where they are and not daring to move forward until they have finished reloading their muskets. So they always lag behind.
A holy knight went to greet the group of musketeers. After a simple negotiation, a consensus was reached. The musketeers and the Holy Knights went together, and the three of them were left behind as sentry posts. As soon as other large forces arrived, they were to take them there.
The remnant sun is gone, and the bright moon is rising. Tonight's moonlight is exceptionally bright and pale, as if to appease the city where countless lives have been buried. But the street fighting continued, and the sound of gunfire and fighting in the distance was still faintly discernible. In other neighborhoods, in other locations, vampires are still fighting to the death against humans. But with cannons, muskets, and magic, humanity is sweeping through this long-held city step by step.
The three of them were stationed in the silent corner of this noisy battlefield.
"What shall we do?" the two companions asked him uneasily. The sound of the battle over there just now had faded away. I don't know what the battle between the Holy Knights and the Vampire Queen will be. "Doesn't look like there's any friendly troops coming here. ”
He pondered it repeatedly, but the last thought of finding out prevailed.
"Let's go see!"
The three of them lurked in the shadows of the ruins of the building, heading in the direction indicated by the Holy Knights. Because of the care, the speed of progress is not very fast. But after some time, they climbed onto top of a high-rise building that had been destroyed by magic or cannons. Ahead must be where the queen is.
At this distance, I can hear some voices clearly. It was the wail of a human being when he was dying. In contrast, when vampires die, they are almost always silent, falling down without a word. The people of the church say that it is because the vampires themselves are just carrion, undead creatures that rely on black magic and strong willpower to act, so they don't feel pain.
The night breeze brings an unusual smell. This smell is ......
Floating all around...... Abnormal sensations. It's not only creepy, but also disgusting, the smell of blood. Even on the battlefield, he had never smelled such heavy blood.
Accompanied by the smell of gore was an unusual laughter.
He lifted his head from a pile of collapsed construction debris and looked at the horrific scene ahead.
Under the pale moon, countless corpses splattered with blood piled up into a mountain of corpses. The smell of blood and decay filled the air. On the ground soaked in red, countless corpses. Wild laughter rang out from the mountain of corpses, and there was no doubt that it was the vampire queen standing there in the midst of laughter.
At the top of this terrifying hill of corpses, the dark-haired girl was laughing in the moonlight. In this way, it is as if you are indulging in this killing. The girl held a long whip that was exceptionally ruddy in the moonlight in one hand, and a long dagger that shone with a magical luster in the other.
The smell of blood that permeated the air was as strong as substance, tightly wrapping around the bare skin, conveying the breath of death directly to the deepest part of the soul.
That kind of scene is so weird and terrifying, but it catches the eye so hard that people can't take their eyes off.
Die, die, die!
With the girl's laughter, I couldn't think about it for some reason, and only this thought remained.
I don't know when Lu Dao was, but the three of them had already rushed out of their hiding place. It was a completely irrational act, and there was no way the three of them could beat the vampire queen who had already killed so many people. But at this moment, it is not reason that drives them, but fear and madness, just as any living creature instinctively wants to resist death.
Driven by unspeakable fear, all three of them brandished their weapons and rushed towards the vampire queen.
The Vampire Queen dropped her whip and held out a hand towards them, spitting out a word clearly, and then the companion who rushed in front of him exploded in an instant, turning into a cloud of smoke of blood and minced flesh. Then the queen threw her dagger and stabbed another companion in the throat.
Now he was alone, and he had rushed to the vampire. He raised his sword and stabbed the vampire queen in the chest.
"You killed me, human!" he heard the vampire queen speak calmly. Through those dark, bright eyes, he saw what he was like at the moment, and saw the face distorted by fear.
Then he awoke from the nightmare, and a maid walked in from outside, "Lord Count, are you all right?"
"It's all right......" he gasped. It's been years, and this nightmare hasn't ended, but has invaded reality. "How was last night? The vampire didn't come, did he?"
