Meanwhile, in the forest not far outside Transylvania, a convoy was in a panic.

It was a caravan from Constantinople that had traveled from south to north, passing through Hungary, selling goods all the way to the town on the border with Poland.

The road was peaceful, and the few bandits and robbers who were few were also disposed of by the caravan guards.

However, just as they were about to reach their destination, they were attacked by monsters.

It was so fast that people didn't even see it before they screamed and were caught in the sky.

Soon, a shriveled corpse, badly dehydrated, smashed onto a cart full of goods.

This time, the flying monster didn't hide her form, and she appeared in the moonlight in the light, smiling at the corners of her mouth, enjoying the fearful gaze of the people.

She was wearing a white translucent light veil, and her graceful body was faintly visible.

It's just that her bare skin is a miserable white hue like a dead person, and there is a pair of bat-like wings behind her back.

She swooped down like a falcon on the prairie, grabbed another victim and flew into the sky, gnawing at his neck in front of them.

Terrible screams followed.

"It's a vampire!"

People were terrified.

This terrifying blood-sucking monster, widespread in Hungary and Poland, was heard of even by the Byzantines and used in children's bedtime stories.

It is said that by selling their souls, vampires made a pact with demons and gained the ability to absorb human blood to sustain their eternal life.

Such a monster is by no means something that humans can compete with.

Some caravan guards brought garlic from their carts and hung it on their bodies, while others held silver crosses and whispered Bibles in the hope of being blessed.

These are all things that vampires fear in the legends, but whether they are useful or not, no one is sure.

However, after all, there are people who do not believe in evil.

A caravan guard bent his bow and arrow, and snorted coldly: "Even if it is a monster, if it is killed, it will definitely die!"

The arrow shot out and hit the vampire's body with precision.

But she just stared at him with interest, and pulled the arrow out very haphazardly, and at the wound there was not even a trace of blood.

She stroked the torn part of the white veil with some heartache and sighed, "I give you the opportunity to resist, but it doesn't mean that I will forgive you for your offense."

I only wanted to kill two people to quench my thirst, but now I want to kill you all, after all, this is a treasure from Selise. ”

The horrific spectacle shattered the last shred of resistance and some of them galloped to towns that were already close at hand.

More people gathered together and used the carts as a barrier, trying to get out of the way.

But it was all in vain.

I heard her whisper, "It's time to eat, my children." ”

A sharp hum suddenly tore through the eardrums, and swarms of vampire bats that could obscure the clouds flew from the trees.

Those who fled, along with their mounts, were covered in them in an instant, and let out a terrible scream.

When the bats flew away from his body, they were shriveled corpses.

The vampire bats didn't attack again, they landed on the treetops and branches, staring at the people with blood-red eyes.

People were shivering, and the creaking of teeth kept coming.

Even the vicious steppe robbers, those Magyar cavalry who came and went like the wind, in their eyes, were far less terrible than these vampire monsters in front of them.

"Feel the fear, lowly human? ”

The vampire stretched out in the moonlight, not in a hurry to enjoy a good meal, but rather enjoying the fearful gazes of the people.

However, at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from afar.

A glimmer of hope rose in people's faces.

Someone whispered, "Could it be that the knights of Transylvania have come to our rescue?"

Soon however, some people wept pessimistically: "Even knights cannot overcome these terrible monsters of play, and if only God bless me and save me from this great calamity, I will surely go to the holy city to worship." ”

The vampire's expression was slightly cold, and he said contemptuously: "It's really a voice from the direction of the city—I want to see who dares to disobey the Earl's ban." ”

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer.

The next moment, in the middle of the forest, a black-armored knight with a pitch-black flame rushed out.

In the darkness, the evil flames burned strangely, and even the body of the war horse burned with a long black mane.

Cloak hunting, like a banner in hell, full of armor and ghostly fire, he is like a demon who has escaped from the gates of hell!

There was a terrifying aura all over his body.

Despair instantly swelled up in everyone's hearts!

There were wolves in front and tigers in the back, and not only did they not wait for reinforcements, but they waited for a monster that was obviously more terrible than a vampire.

But not only were they terrified, but the vampire was terrified to the point that his face was contorted.

She let out a shrill roar, "When did such a thing come out of Transylvania?"

The black-armored knight jumped up and threw his sword without hesitation.

The sword was extremely fast, like a shooting star, but the vampire still dodged the sword with its wings at the last moment.

"I'm a dependent of Lord Earl, if you kill me, the Earl won't let you go!"

The vampire was shocked by the sword and broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly warned the person who came.

However, just as the sword missed, the black-armored knight suddenly stretched out his right hand and pulled it back!

It was as if an invisible thread of silk was entwined around the knight's sword that flew out, and it went back and forth, slicing directly through the vampire's neck at a faster speed.

A sword owl, clean and neat!

Don't care about threats from vampires.

"The Count won't let you go!"

The decapitated vampire let out a vicious roar, and was consumed by the surging black flames.

It's a monster that's even more terrifying than a vampire, but thankfully, he doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking them.

"Who are you?"

People asked with trepidation.

The flames on the black-armored knight gradually extinguished, and the mount was transformed back into a normal white horse.

It was a very handsome young knight with a Latin face, and he greeted them in a flat tone, "Witcher, Leon. ”

......

At the same time, in the forest hundreds of miles away.

William and Ineri were gathered around the campfire.

Innellie sat on her knees, her eyes glazed over, not knowing what she was thinking.

William tore off a piece of baked jerky and chewed on the black and white bun, quipping indistinctly, "What, I miss Leon again?"

Innelly raised her eyebrows and said softly, "Phew, how could I think of that little white face who didn't even dare to lie down?"

William laughed, "I've explained to you what he thinks, you know, he's definitely not brave enough." ”

Innelly said coldly, "Hehe, who does he think he is?"

"How can we conclude that we are more likely to die?"

"I swear, this time, I will definitely pass the grass trial, and the next time we meet again, I will teach him a hard lesson!"

William muttered, "That's a bit of a struggle. ”

"What did you say?"

William hurriedly said, "I'm sure you can do it!"
