Monarch of Evernight: The Thirteenth Mark of 199
bsp;Yeyetong briefly introduced: "This is His Royal Highness Howard of Dark Gospel, and he is Qianye. There is still fighting outside, I will deal with it first." Then she left the hall and disappeared out of the window.
Although Parikia has retreated, he walked too fast, and the offensive of the parliamentary army outside is still fierce. Nighteye wants to deal with the strong men supervising the battle in the parliament and force the parliament troops to retreat with a direct attack on the middle army.
As soon as she left, Howard and Qianye were left in the hall, and they suddenly felt awkward.
Qianye fired two shots in a row, frightening Parokia away. He was weak at this moment, leaning against the wall with his eyes lowered, looking a little drowsy.
Howard, on the other hand, was forced to face the enemy before he could complete the awakening process. He was half-clothed and shaped like a skeleton. The hall seemed to have just been hit by a storm, and all objects were scattered everywhere.
Howard coughed and said, "I didn't quite understand that last shot. It's like I've never seen that kind of force."
"I'm impatient. I should have used the dawn force of dawn. Unfortunately, I kept rushing and only had time to make a physical bomb." Qianye said honestly.
It is not easy to catch the loopholes of the Great Lord. If it were not for the narrow environment of the main hall and Qianye's bloodline being hidden all the time, those two shots would not have gone so smoothly.
Howard thought thoughtfully and said: "I didn't feel how powerful that force was at first, maybe because I haven't seen it before. But looking at Palikia's reaction, the power of the shot behind It seems bigger than the morning light."
After the two chatted for a few words, the offensive of the parliamentary troops outside suddenly slowed down. A floating battleship spurted out blazing fire and fell to the ground while burning. The other battleships turned around and left the battlefield. Those soldiers who were still fighting in the castle were all left behind, and there was only a dead end waiting for them.
Yeye Tong appeared in the main hall again. There were many damage and slash marks on his armor, and a thin **** mouth appeared on the side of his neck. However, her aura is still there, so she should be fine.
"I drove away Archduke Felik, who was supervising the war. He will probably have to rest for decades before he can fight again. Your Highness Howard, please explain to the tribe what will happen next, and let's go."
"Where to go?"
"You won't be able to send out a second communication in a short time, right? The communication device here has been destroyed, and your backup blood pool has been mixed with blood poison. The castle itself is no longer valuable, and the parliamentary troops should not Come again. Let's go to the Movi clan now. Renault has fallen, but we need to save his people."
"Reno has fallen?!" Howard was shocked, but looking at Ye Tong's face, he knew that although he didn't feel it for some reason, it was the fact.
Howard still did not move, pointed to the top of his head, and said with a wry smile: "If you can sense the river of blood, you should know my current situation."
"A long river of blood?" Ye Tong closed his eyes and stood there. After a moment, his aura suddenly rose, and he passed one level after another, and his bloodline level increased steadily.
At the end of the void, the river of blood began to boil, and in response, it became clear again.
Nighteye's aura climbed to the end of the Grand Duke and then stopped. Just under Howard's eyes, in a short period of time, she completed a major leap.
After being promoted to Grand Duke, Ye Tong's aura changed again, a deep and far-reaching aura slowly emerged, and every move seemed to be accompanied by thunder.
She looked up into the void, her eyes having penetrated countless obstacles and landed on the river of blood.
The advancement of Night Eye awakens the river of blood, making it clear from hiding and no longer in a state that is difficult to perceive. However, the three people present all realized the same problem at this moment. Their perceptions could at least cover the main body of the castle, so they discovered that although Nighteye had awakened the Holy River again, no one else in the vampire clan could sense it.
The River of Blood has been silent for a long time. The blood imprint of the Crown of Fire lit by Habbs was once regarded as the beginning of the resurrection of the Holy River. After that, there were indeed several unexplained boils, but even Dukes and above The big shots only know that someone has been promoted, but they can't see the source clearly.
But if Qianye learns of their doubts, he will find that most of those boiling rivers of blood were caused by him.
No one has ever discussed this issue publicly, and even the second-generation ancestors have not communicated with each other, because that would trigger an extremely bad guess, that is, the Holy River may be reviving, but it has nothing to do with most vampires. They are still in the same state as they have been for thousands of years, untouchable and unresponsive. Only the ancestors and a few powerful beings are exceptions.
Of course, Ye Tong, Howard and Qianye would not talk about this topic here and now.
Nighteye is still completing her promotion.
Qianye originally had a closer connection with the Blood River than any other blood race. At this moment, he put aside his distracting thoughts and focused his attention on the Blood River.
This is the best time to observe the river of blood. In the past, the river of blood boiled in response to Qianye’s promotion, and countless inherited knowledge would follow. Qianye could only accept this knowledge as much as possible at that time, but Do you care about anything else?
Only at this time can he trace back to the source and carefully feel and understand everything about the river of blood.
The further you go to the source, the more difficult it becomes. Originally, it was impossible for the Duke to trace the source, even to get close to it. But Qianye managed to get close to the source by relying on the connection between the ancient blood clan and the river of blood. Just getting closer was his limit at the moment.
At this position, Qianye faintly sensed multiple huge sources of power, each with a different nature, but the same purity and singleness.
This is the true face of the Blood River Mark.
Qianye was startled and almost withdrew from contact with the Blood River. The sensing mark here and the normal state of seeing the mark are two different things.
Being able to sense the source of the mark's power is the first step to igniting the mark. This is common knowledge among vampires. But it is difficult for most vampires to sense the existence of the mark.
The twelve ancient clans, relying on their bloodline advantages, have unique advantages in sensing a certain mark. This is the root of the blood clan inheritance. But even with the bloodline bonus, once the blood mark is extinguished, it becomes increasingly difficult to rekindle it. .
This time, Qianye sensed seven or eight marks just as he approached the source. Some of them were particularly clear. How could he not be shocked, thinking that his feelings or the inheritance he received were wrong. With this level of clarity, if he had enough accumulation, wouldn't it be possible to ignite it?
And in the history of the vampire race, each mark seemed to be ignited by only one person at the same time. If Qianye ignited the mark, wouldn't it mean that the ancient clan corresponding to the mark had stopped its path to coronation? If Qianye accumulates enough and ignites two marks, what does it mean, double crowning?
This was really amazing. Qianye tried it several times to make sure that his feeling was correct. Although whether it can be ignited is a matter for the future, but since he has sensed the source of the mark's power, he cannot let go of such a good observation opportunity. Each mark represents a path of the Force. Even if it cannot be ignited, just observing the rules of the force will be of great benefit.
Qianye compared the perceived marks one by one with the twelve marks of the blood clan in his memory, and quickly locked on eight marks. Five of the marks are currently publicly extinguished among the vampires.
However, something is wrong with the other two marks, one of which belongs to Gusin, the Confessor of Death, a crowned prince who has been sleeping for six hundred years. His mark can be felt. Could it be that he has already fallen and that his continued slumber is just false news released to the outside world?
But there is another mark, which is the Castle in Thorns of the Lightless King Metanzo. Metanzo is definitely still alive, how could his mark be sensed by Qianye?
With doubts, Qianye inspected the last mark. This mark is much weaker than other marks in perception, and it is faintly visible. If it were not for the invisible connection between it and Qianye, Qianye would not be able to establish a connection at all. Unlike the other marks, it seemed to be further away, hidden underwater.
After inspecting it, Qianye was shocked to find that this mark did not belong to any known mark!
The thirteenth mark?
Qianye checked it repeatedly and finally concluded that this was a brand new mark with no recorded data.
At this moment, the surge of the long river of blood began to ebb, disappearing into the depths of the void again, and Qianye's connection with the mysterious mark was also cut off.
Nighteye withdrew his gaze, looked at Howard, and said, "Is your mark about to be extinguished?"
Howard smiled bitterly and said: "There were some signs of instability. I woke up before to confirm the situation. Now that I wake up in a hurry, it will be a matter of time before the mark goes out."
Yeyetong said again: "I saw you sending a letter to Lilith in the hall. Was it really Metanzo who intercepted it?"
"Medanzo! Who else but him?" Howard couldn't help gritting his teeth at the mention of this name.
"Medanzuo..." No expression could be seen in Ye Tong's eyes. However, Qianye knew that the confirmation of this news still had a considerable impact on her.
In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually gets brighter.
Qianye, Ye Tong and Howard stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the castle.
Near the bottom of the mountain, there were more than a dozen blazing fires burning in the largest square of the castle. People were constantly carrying corpses and throwing them into the fire. Among them were parliamentary soldiers and more vampires.
There are still fires everywhere in the castle, and many of the fires ignited with special techniques have not yet been extinguished. Standing high up, Qianye could see the entire castle in his sights, but he knew without looking at how tragic some of the battlefields in the castle were.
Like Middle Castle, which has been operating for thousands of years, Howard is relatively active and prosperous far beyond similar castles. There are nearly 100,000 vampires living in and around the castle. It is completely like an ancient city. In such a city, there will be many civilians with little fighting ability.
The rise of the human race fully demonstrates to the dark races that civilians can also be the foundation for the development of a race's civilization. Although there are fundamental differences in how the Dark and Dawn races inherit their power, since the founding of the Empire, each race has consciously or unconsciously begun to value civilians to varying degrees.
Just like Night Eye in the past, it was just a native species that awakened from a remote branch. In ancient times, it never received enough attention. But now, pure-blooded bloodlines are not so strict about native species. the difference. In this regard, the vampires and demons are at the forefront, while the werewolves are the most stubborn party. As for the spider demons, they are still stuck in the way of reproduction.
The parliament soldiers were airdropped into the castle. The entire castle was a battlefield. Naturally, they would kill vampires whenever they saw them. They did not distinguish between young and old, and they would not differentiate between civilians and soldiers. So under the light of the burning fire, there were scenes of civilians being massacred.
The Twilight homeland of the Blood Clan, especially in the core territory of the Ancestors, has not ignited war for thousands of years. Even the holy war will not attack the clan castles of the twelve ancient clans. Naturally, the civilians here have not received much combat training. , is no match for those elite parliamentary warriors who are armed to the teeth.
Although the fighting has subsided, the parliamentary troops have also left. However, the losses of the Byrne clan were extremely heavy. In one night's battle, one-third of the clan members were buried in a river of blood forever.
