It was late at night, and most of the soldiers stationed in the woods had fallen asleep. Although each person only has a blanket that is not too thick, the temperature is still quite high because it is not yet fully autumn.

Looking at the slightly tired faces, Corey involuntarily sighed. He was dying of sorrow now, and Robert had sent someone to inform him a few hours ago that Byrne and his party had been kidnapped near the riverbank, but judging from the huge footprints left at the scene, it was unlikely that they were still alive. This means that the plan to lure the enemy across the river has failed, and the whole army may have to return the way it came. As a commander who wants to make a difference, there's nothing worse than now.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the woods, and three dark shadows came out of it. One of them took off his hood, revealing long red hair that looked like a burning flame that stood out in the dark. They were none other than Shantil and the two humanoid dragons.

"Oh...... Damn, how did you end up like this? It looks like a low-plane creature. Corey asked with a surprised look on his face, and at the same time raised his hand to signal his subordinates to lower their weapons. He remembered that in the past, although the sorceress's personality showed some signs of moving closer to the demon, at least on the surface it seemed to be a human.

Shantil smiled proudly and replied, "My master and I have done a lot of great things in Amm recently, and I believe it won't be long before it will be passed on." As for the hair and horns being atavistic proof of blood, this is a process that every powerful warlock must go through. By the way, this is a power of attorney that the owner asked me to bring. You can now attack directly across the Osa. ”

Corey almost jumped for joy when he heard this. "Great! It's simply the best news I've heard in all these days. Take it out. With it, I'll be able to get all the scraps of the Iron Throne out of here. Keep in mind that Eltorel had less than four hundred defenders. And most of them are rabble, which can be captured with just one charge. ”

"Give. In addition, the two guys behind me are now at your disposal, and the master has asked to try to solve the entire battle before the Iron Throne captures Soba. Anta. Silver Shield and his family should try to save as much as possible, of course, if it is too late to save his wife first. This is about the legitimacy of the annexation of the North, so you have to take it seriously. With that, Shantil handed over Henry's letter of authorization.

After taking the letter and reading it, Corey nodded solemnly. "I'll try my best. Know that we have been delayed for too long. It is not at all clear what is going on on the other side of the river. The Iron Throne has blocked the entire river, and ordinary scouts simply don't get past it. ”

"What about Robert? Could it be that his news network is also paralyzed? Shantil had an incredulous look on her face. Although she is quite disgusted, and can even be said to hate this thief leader, it is undeniable that the other party's ability is definitely the top. According to Henry, there hasn't been a single mistake in intelligence over the years.

Corey sighed slightly and explained, "Yes, paralyzed. The Iron Throne imposed a total occupation of villages and towns in the north, and blocked all major transportation routes. But don't worry too much, Robert has already taken his most elite men to investigate in person, and I believe that news will come back in two days at most. ”

Hearing that the leader of the thieves had suffered a big loss, Shantil instantly felt a lot better. She still remembers the first time she was punished. And think that it is all thanks to the other party. Although you can't secretly stumble when you're in the same camp now, it's okay to laugh at it the next time we meet.

"What are you going to do next? Let's wait here for news. Or just call it and talk about it? If it's a siege, I can help, like blasting the gates open with spells. The sorceress's eyes gleamed with bloodthirst. Obviously, her old problem has flareed up again, and she wants to vent it in a bright way.

After looking at the map, Corey shook his head slightly. "Not now. The person in charge of the Iron Throne who stayed here was very vigilant, and at least four patrols would be arranged every night. As soon as the other side takes advantage of the darkness to escape, then the enemy in the rear will be prepared, which will be detrimental to our assault. Wait patiently for a few hours before attacking at dawn. ”

"You're the commander anyway, remember to wake me up when the time comes. In addition, the two guys behind him, one named Oroxes, is a black dragon, and the other is called Otagos, a brown dragon. If you need them to do anything, just tell me, and if there's nothing to do, don't disturb my rest. Keep in mind that without eight hours of sleep, the caster will not be able to recover the spell slot. ”

After Shantil finished speaking, she took out her sleeping bag from the dimensional bag and got in. She hadn't closed her eyes for almost a day and a night, and she was in a hurry, and she was presiding over the promotion ceremony of vampires, and if it weren't for the demonic blood, she would have been tired and lying down. Now I finally poured out my efforts to get a good night's sleep, and by the way, let the consumed spell slot return to its original state.

"Well, two dragons, that's an unexpected surprise." Corey muttered quietly. He was now somewhat immune to the few powerful men that his monarch had brought in from time to time, and no matter how powerful the dragon was, it would be impossible for him to defeat the army of golems stationed in Belgost. That's a force capable of crushing tens of thousands of regular troops head-on, and it wouldn't be a problem to destroy a country with a few thousand elite troops.

However, Corey did not think he could command dragons, after all, they were notoriously arrogant. After a brief greeting, he opened the map and discussed the route of the march with the two lieutenants, who had no idea of Eltoriel on the other side of the river. Especially now that he knows that he still has two dragons as helpers, the whole plan is extremely bold.

――――――――――――――――――

Meanwhile, the temple of Los Angeles, east of Belgost, has been reduced to purgatory. Six or seven huge demons smashed the formation of the Knights Templar into pieces, and the ground was littered with the corpses of horses and humans. An old knight who looked to be in his fifties was covered in blood, and a huge wound stretched from his left shoulder to his abdomen, revealing a lot of internal organs. But he still raised his spear and shouted, "For the glory of the Lord of the Dawn!" Charge! ”

"Charge! Justice will prevail! ”

The remaining dozen knights shouted slogans in unison, fearlessly rushing towards the enemy who was dozens of times stronger than themselves. They were the most devout warriors, and they had no fear of death at all. However, no matter how heroic they were, because they could not offset the huge gap in strength, the demons rushed forward with a wild laugh and knocked over all the men and horses.

These creatures from the bottomless abyss, no matter what god you believe in, have waved their huge claws and played with tearing people. They enjoyed the thrill of the killing, and devoured the fresh corpses and entrails, even the souls of the knights. For demons, whether it is fresh flesh or pure soul, it is a rare delicacy, not only to enjoy the thrill of the mechanism, but also to improve their own strength.

With the complete destruction of the Order, there were few priests left in the temple who were still resisting, and many of them were taken prisoner by young and beautiful women. Trixis uses the blood of a dead priest to perform an evil ritual of blasphemy while letting other vampire girls loot their belongings.

A few minutes later, the huge statue of Loshanda had been splattered with blood, and the faint golden glow that had been emitting was gone, replaced by an evil red aura. Several of the young women who were still alive had expressions of great sadness on their faces, and one of them even began to cry bitterly. Not only are they saddened by the insult to their gods, but they are also weeping over their fate.

"Mistress Tracis, what are you going to do with these captives?" A young vampire asked cautiously. You must know that Shantil's order is not to be left alive, but the temporarily appointed leader clearly has other plans.

"Of course, it's all given to the first embrace. I'd like to see how they react when they find out they've been abandoned by their gods. Also, tell everyone to retreat and leave the demons out there. With that, Trisis opened her mouth and bared her two sharp fangs, biting down hard at a priest.

"Nope! I don't want to become undead! Save your servant, great Lord of the Dawn! ”

The pastor struggled desperately, even if he wanted to die immediately, rather than being converted. But her strength is simply too small to be a match for vampires at all. The sharp fangs bit down on the snow-white neck, and a drop of black blood was injected into it. As the blood flowed, the drop quickly spread throughout the body.

The young and beautiful female pastor began to twitch incessantly, and after a few seconds, she did not move. She has now been transformed into a corpse and it won't be long before she wakes up again, when a newborn vampire will be born.

"Nope! How could you do such a cruel thing to Rachel! Another pastor screamed at the bottom of his lungs.

Trisea licked the blood off her lips and smiled wickedly. "I'm just trying to make you realize the true face of the gods. Look at this cute girl who was abandoned just after being bitten. Not only was the priest level cleared, but even the connection of faith was severed. Join us, and the Great Ancestor will shelter everyone forever. ”

"Go away! Get away from me! ”

"Please, kill me!"

The few remaining priests had a complete mental breakdown and even fell to their knees and began to beg for mercy. They couldn't imagine what would become of them if they lost the favor of their gods, especially the undead creatures that Losanda hated the most.

"Don't worry...... Just relax...... You will soon feel the supreme joy. With that, Trisis opened her mouth and pounced. After a few screams, the whole temple fell silent, and all the priests were given the first hug. (To be continued......)
