City of Dimlight

Chapter 224 The Vampire of Bly City

The body was placed in the barracks outside the city. As soon as Gavin entered, he saw the soldiers surrounding him talking.

Seeing Gavin's arrival, the officer quickly saluted, drove away all the onlookers and made a passage.

The soldiers around stopped whispering and wanted to know what had happened. Although it was obvious, they still wanted to hear the word 'no' from Gavin.

Gavin gently lifted the corpse cloth and appeared in front of him as a white paper-like face.

The soldier's whole face showed a deformed snow-white, with no blood color at all, and even a little blue. Gavin frowned and bent down to gently lift his collar.

All the armor has been removed, and Gavin can easily find the wound on the edge of his collar.

Those are four deep and thin holes, which look like they have been bitten by tiger teeth.

Gavin slowly stood up. Now the first task is to calm the panic among the soldiers. It is best to complete the transfer of materials as soon as possible after appeasing everyone.

"This is not an undead," Gavin looked around with a relaxed smile. "Fortunately, it's not - or it's bad!"

"Lord, do you think this is..." The guard officer asked carefully. After seeing Gavin's expression, he said the second half of the sentence: "What kind of monster is this?" Gavin's eyes told him that this question could be asked, or in other words, he felt that the commander seemed to need such a person to ask this question.

"Oh, this is a vampire!" Gavin pretended to smile relaxedly, "Although they also belong to the army of the Ghost Emperor, most of them are messengers, not attack troops - I mean, the undead army did not come here so soon!"

The voice around became louder again, and most of the soldiers were relieved, but there were still some people staring at Gavin with suspicion.

"In the world of the dead, vampires are relatively different creatures," Gavin had to continue to explain: "They have fast speed and the ability to transform into flight, and their attack power is not good," he looked at the patrolmen who led him: "Otherwise, he would not have escaped like this! "

He pointed to the patrol: "Their team scared this guy away - if it hadn't been for the first time I met this creature, I guess they could catch or kill him!"

Here, Gavin cleverly changed this topic. The departure of the vampire is simply to say that it is an escape. In this way, although it is due to loss, it can be understood as the result of a sneak attack and will not make everyone panic.

"Yes!" The patrol soldier shouted, and in full view of the public couldn't help but straighten his chest: "We can kill him - if he hadn't run fast... Humph!"

This sentence seemed to greatly boost morale. Some soldiers began to laugh, while others even joked.

"You are unlucky... You can almost make contributions!" Oh, this good opportunity slipped away!" Next patrol, I will also go..." The soldiers talked one after another, and their tone seemed to be talking about a rabbit that was captured!

Gavin smiled, walked out of the soldiers, and then quickly called several officers together.

"This vampire is probably either a scout or a messenger - but anyway, we have met now!" The smile on Gavin's face faded, showing the usual serious expression. "Now we must double the number of patrols and tell them that everyone must wear bows and arrows!"

"Yes!" Several officers answered in unison.

"Also, you can dispose of the body now - remember that it must be burned immediately, otherwise if he becomes a vampire, it will be difficult to deal with!" Gavin put forward another matter: "After arranging all these things, you call the material coordinator to report the current material situation!"

※※※

Gavin hurried into the city lord's mansion, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant. He frowned, as if something had not figured out.

Rebecca and Quinas came out of the conference room and couldn't help but be shocked to see Gavin's expression. Rebecca quickly asked, "Why - is it really the appearance of the dead?" Gavin shook his head, "It's not the undead, but the vampire!"

"Vampire? - How can this thing appear here?" Kunas was shocked: "It's not a good thing for them to appear - worse than a few undead soldiers!"

"It's the same as I thought!" Gavin said, "There are really vampires here, which shows two problems - either the direction of the ghost emperor's next attack is here; or he has someone he needs to contact here now!" Gavin said his thoughts hesitantly, "But in any case, it's bad news for us!"

"The first situation is more likely," Kunnas analyzed, "now that there are only human beings in the Kingdom of the Free Alliance in the north and east, and human beings in the south have retreated to the Atlantean Empire, and the west is all occupied by undead - so I think they are going to attack here!"

Rebecca nodded in agreement with this view, "In this way, we won't have too much time - I need to know the current material situation. If it really doesn't work, we will give up some of the materials and prepare to evacuate!"

"If this is the case, it's still relatively simple," Gavin said, "We just need to pay close attention to the movements of the dead - but I don't know why, I always feel a little strange. It seems that all this is not so simple!"

"Do you think there are still humans or other creatures standing on the side of the ghost emperor?" Kunnas asked a question: "I don't think so - no one will form an alliance with the dead, right?"

"It's hard to say," Gavin shook his head slowly, but soon he raised his head. "All this is speculation. We can't be sure - what we need now is to do the work at hand!"

At this moment, several sweaty officials came in and saw Rebecca, Gavin and others there, and hurriedly saluted.

"I have called the material deployment officer, and now you can count the materials," Gavin pulled the belt on his body and seemed to have made a major decision: "I think you can deal with this matter - count the materials, and then see how much you can take away, and hide what you can't take away!" He turned his head and looked at Rebecca: "You retreat as soon as possible - I'm going out now!"

"How to go?" Rebecca seems to have noticed something from this simple sentence: "You're not going out for a walk, are you?" To detect the movements of the dead?" Quinas also said, "It seems that this should not be done by you!"

Gavin shook his head. He first ordered several officials to go to the inside to count. After they left, he slowly said, "I'm going to go to Wangdu!"

Rebecca was surprised: "You...you're going..." She didn't say her words, but she had guessed Gavin's purpose.

"That's right," Gavin said firmly, "Since the Ghost Emperor has started, I think the patriarchs should be on their way now - I'll pick them up. In case something happens, there will be a helper!"

Rebecca and Quinas both understood what he meant.

After the assassination of the ghost emperor, the Kingdom of Liberty Alliance has basically collapsed. Some princes and nobles who were originally imprisoned by the new emperor have left their residences in the royal capital and began to flee to other places.

At this time, the Solomon family, which has a whole city, became the best refuge in the eyes of everyone.

First of all, they have a city far away from the Archangel Fortress. Secondly, they also have tens of thousands of soldiers, which can be said to be a better safe haven, at least not to be protected.

Almost half of the ministers turned to the Solomon family, hoping that they could take themselves together to take refuge in Brighton.

In this way, the elders who were originally going to travel lightly could only bring so many nobles who were ready to go on the road together with a wry smile - this was undoubtedly a huge burden on themselves.

In the first few days, because the fear of the dead had not dissipated, the nobles were able to endure the hardships, but after a few days of walking, they put forward various demands.

Some nobles think that the travel time is too long every day and they need to arrange a break for afternoon tea; some think that life is not good every day and require the camp time to be advanced so that their guards can prepare fresh wild animals to eat; and some of the most outrageous ones actually say that the dead may not be so terrible and will not attack the king's capital. , ask to simply turn back!

The patriarch is almost speechless!

Fortunately, many of the nobles here are more rational. Together with the patriarchs, they scolded these guys fiercely to calm down some of this atmosphere.

But because of the beginning, there was constant trouble, and the speed of the march slowed down quickly.

It has been more than ten days, but this escape team has not yet reached half of the journey.

In desperation, the patriarch had to send a few guards back to deliver the letter and tell Rebecca the situation.

At that time, both Gavin, Rebecca and Quinas were relieved. They thought that as long as they left Wangdu, there should not be much danger, so they were not worried and even a little happy. They thought that there was a better place for this Kuroshio, that is, to make the family members at least safe.

But now there are vampires, and they appear in Bly City, which shows that the ghost emperor is ready to use force this side, and it is likely that the army of the dead is already on the way.

In this way, the safety of the patriarch and his party is very problematic.

Gavin initially thought about this problem, so he decided to go to the Stone City and look for patriarchs and others halfway.
