Monarch of Evernight: The true betrayal of 201
bsp;On the Twilight Continent, Qianye, Ye Tong and Howard flew close to the ground and moved forward at full speed.
Suddenly Howard murmured: "Although Middle's main castle is not my first castle, it was built by me myself. When it was first completed, there was no human empire. Unexpectedly, more than a thousand people lived there. This place was so ruined." He sighed.
The three of them had been running for half a day, and Howard was panting a little. He looked at the sky and said, "My connection with the mark has become weaker. Are you sure you want to take this useless old thing like me with you?"
Yeye Tong said: "There is only one dark gospel. As long as you are here, the Byrne clan will not perish."
Howard took a breath and said, "Okay, you convinced me."
For any ancient clan, the blood of the original ancestor is the source of everything. A living ancestor, or descendant king, is everything. The importance of Dark Gospel has surpassed that of all other members of the Byrne clan. This is the traditional judgment standard of the vampire family.
Qianye was thoughtful, and when he saw Howard lagging slightly behind, he slowed down and stretched out his hand.
Howard was obviously hesitant, but then he smiled bitterly and murmured to himself: "Since he is already a useless old guy, why do you still think so much!"
He stretched out his hand to hold Qianye's arm, and felt a strong force coming from him, and his speed suddenly increased. The Night Eye in front also speeded up accordingly, flying across the mountains and rivers like lightning. Only then did Howard realize that Ye Tong and Qianye had been conserving their strength and were not running at full strength.
"You... don't look like a duke." He could only sigh.
When night fell, the three finally arrived at Fleet Castle, and all they saw was ruins.
This castle is one of the two largest castles of the Movey Clan in the Twilight Continent. Its owner, Vice Duke Vantliff, is steady and mediocre, and has never been able to awaken the bloodline of his ancestors in his life. But he is usually gentle and helpful, and has a good reputation among the vampires.
The Blue King has been sleeping for many years. In the past few hundred years, he has hardly come out to move around. The overall strength of the Movi clan has also been declining. Although there are many dukes in the clan, Vantliff can preside over one of the most important castles in the clan just as a deputy duke, which can be considered as circumstantial evidence.
If the Lord of Macefield had not appeared, Howard's castle could have persisted for many days under the siege of the parliamentary army, and it could have persisted even longer. But the Fleet Castle in front of him did not have the atmosphere that the Dark Lord had appeared, and it seemed that it could not hold up for even a day.
In the ruins of the old castle, figures occasionally flashed. Although they acted cautiously, they could not escape the eyes of Ye Tong and Qianye.
"It's a demon. It seems he's staying here, waiting for opportunities to capture the vampires who come over to investigate or make contact." Nighteye said.
Qianye pointed in the distance and said: "Their camp is over there, that is the half-collapsed building. I'll go."
"Okay."
Qianye’s figure flickered and disappeared from the spot. A moment later, the building with the upper half missing was suddenly covered by a crimson golden force field and collapsed layer by layer.
Within the field, several demons struggled to fly up, but they only flew more than ten meters before falling from their strength. In the blink of an eye, all the buildings within the domain were reduced to nothing, while everything outside the domain was intact, and the boundary was like a knife cutting through it.
Howard raised his eyebrows and said: "What an amazing field!"
The blazing force of dawn in the Qianye Domain was a bit dazzling even to him, not to mention the demons in the domain. The realm of dawn in Qianye is unparalleled in its ability to weaken and kill the dark races.
After a while, Qianye closed his territory and made a gesture, and Ye Tong and Howard flew over.
In the ruins, there are dozens of fallen demons everywhere. Two of the earls could still sit, but they could only sit down. Only the Marquis, who was the leader, could barely stand. But looking at the way he was swaying, he might even fall down with a push.
The eyes of all demon descendants looking at Qianye were full of fear. As descendants of darkness, the hellish morning realm just now was an experience they never wanted to have again.
"Where is Deputy Duke Vantliff now?" Howard hit the nail on the head as soon as he opened his mouth.
The Demon Marquis just sneered, "How long do you vampires think you can escape? It's just wishful thinking to ask anything from me!"
Howard was not annoyed and smiled: "Soon you will know why they call me the dark gospel."
A moment later, a shrill scream resounded through the sky.
"How about it, can you tell me?" Howard was still standing there, motionless. The Marquis was paralyzed on the ground, twitching constantly, and foam was pouring out of his mouth and nose.
Hearing Howard's voice, he yelled again and kept retreating, obviously extremely frightened.
Howard raised his hand and waved lightly, and a piece of icy blood fell, finally calming down the Demon Marquis.
This time, the demon was no longer stubborn and said honestly: "Fantliff is not dead. At the last moment, he...surrendered. Now he and the remaining more than 300 tribesmen are imprisoned in Aivar. The Marquis Castle will be transferred to the Demon Continent in two days."
"Aivar, the last time I saw her, she was a child, and now she is a Marquis? Unexpectedly, even she has defected to the demon." After sighing, Howard said: "We have seen the war. I think what we need to know more now is the cause of the war and why so many tribesmen defected to the demons."
Qianye said: "Maybe they are just afraid. In the Black Sun Valley not long ago, there were three werewolves and vampire marquises who were willing to surrender. And in Yonglu, there are more such examples."
Howard shook his head, "Immortals are indeed more afraid of death, but not all are like this. What's more, your true identity on the battlefield still belongs to a third party. This is a very subtle difference between surrender and redemption. In fact, it is tacitly accepted. But the situation faced by these betrayers is not like this. I know a few of them. They are quite independent and responsible, and they are not the kind to give in when threatened. There should be another reason for this. We need to figure out what is it that induces them to betray the queen and the tribe, and turn their backs on the river of blood, to join the demons."
Qianye nodded, thoughtfully. As immortals, if they are not afraid of death, there are very few things that can tempt them. It’s not power, it’s strength. As for faith, it does not exist. For the vampires, the river of blood is the only faith. Even if the river of blood can be abandoned, what other faith cannot be given up?
Listening to what Howard said, Qianye also felt that maybe the reason behind the scenes was the key. He actually regretted that he killed Marquis Xiao Lynch too quickly and did not continue to question him. At that time, neither he nor Ye Tong realized that this kind of betrayal might be real and autonomous.
But without Lynch, there would still be Ivar. But Van Trier has surrendered, is it still worth saving? Qianye turned his questioning eyes to Ye Tong.
Yeye Tong thought for a moment and said: "Reynold has no direct descendants. Van Trier is the direct descendant of his sister, which is his closest relationship. No matter how he is, let's go and check the situation first. , being sent to the Demon Continent is not a good thing."
"Okay." Qianye nodded.
The Zhao Clan's territory, Youtong Pass, is the frontline bordering the rebels and the Dark Territory.
At this moment, in this military city, the clouds of war are thick.
At noon, the Zhao clan's outer void defense system suddenly discovered that a Duke-level dark race fleet appeared in the airspace in the direction of Younan and Wubei provinces where rebels live, and some of the warships were still painted with The symbol of the Evernight Council.
In terms of airspace security, the fleet's location has not yet threatened the empire's territory, but the distance is already very close.
The empire is now in a state of full war readiness. Although it is kept secret, in fact, all the heads of aristocratic families and generals above the lieutenant general level are waiting for it. Lieutenant General Zhao Ruqin, who is in charge of Youtong Pass, is naturally included in this list.
Zhao Ruqin is good at defense and strategic judgment.
Although according to intelligence, the dark territory of the Western Continent is not very peaceful recently, and it seems that the dark race itself is having some civil war, Zhao Ruqin still did not put the appearance of this fleet aside, and even boarded the battleship personally to observe it from a distance in the outer void. Ichiban.
When he returned to the ground, he immediately sent out scouts to report the news to the Zhao clan's headquarters.
Zhao Clan’s response was extremely fast. More than an hour later, a high-speed boat arrived with Zhao Jundu.
Zhao Ruqin was surprised when he saw Zhao Jundu. He had heard that Zhao Jundu was recuperating in the imperial capital, but he didn't know that he had returned to the Western Continent.
Zhao Ruqin hurriedly took a few steps and went up to greet him, "Why did the Fourth Young Master come here in person? Is your injury healed?"
Zhao Jundu nodded in return and said: "King Beiyue is in the main palace. He felt an unknown oscillation in the void outside the Western Continent. Just as your information was sent, I came over to see if it originated from here."
"Unknown oscillation?" Zhao Ruqin was startled. The king's perception was very important, but the source was unknown. For military strategists, this kind of vague situation was the most feared.
Zhao Jundu followed Zhao Ruqin to the city wall and the Cape Tower. While looking towards the nearest Younan Province, he asked: "Has the war zone been notified?"
Zhao Ruqin was about to answer when he saw two high-speed boats of the regular Imperial Army rushing towards him in the eastern sky. Before they could land, two figures jumped out of the airships and flew directly towards the city.
One of the young men with a handsome face is none other than Zhao Junhong, deputy commander of the Western Army Region.
Now Zhao Ruqin did not need to explain. Zhao Jundu and Zhao Junhong briefly greeted each other and turned their attention to the other person. The opponent is also wearing the uniform of the regular army of the empire, but the pattern on the collar badge is different. It is the emblem of the Beifu Legion.
Zhao Jundu felt that the man looked familiar, but he couldn't name him for a while. Zhao Junhong quickly introduced him beside him: "This is General Lin Wu, who is now the admiral of the Beifu Army."
