In the next few days, Border Guard Town was in a state of high alert. Originally, it was enough to focus on monitoring the movements in the north, but now it has to be on guard everywhere.

A few people were so frightened by the rumors of vampires that they not only closed the doors and windows of their homes, but also refused to let their children go to school and even refused free lunches.

This won't work. The vampire incident must be solved quickly.

Under the arrangements of Viscount Jarvis, the time and frequency of patrols have been increased a lot, and nothing suspicious has been found yet.

The search team has made no progress at all. After all, the Tianqiong Mountains are so big. If you want to find a target who is hiding deliberately, you will undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack.

The door-to-door inquiry work organized by Clive was completed quickly, probably because he had accumulated some experience in the previous census.

Owen listened to Clive's report and learned that in recent days, only a few civilians had been accidentally injured at work or in other situations, and there was no news of anyone being killed.

In other words, the vampires did not attack the civilians in Border Guard Town.

This is good news, and it also confirms Owen's previous speculation that the vampire has no intention of harming humans, and may be an innocent person who was forced to transform.

Judging from the situation reported by Lu Sha, the overall situation in Border Guard Town is currently relatively stable, and the vampire incident has not caused much panic.

Mainly due to Irving's timely handling, whether it is the increased number of patrols on the street or visits to comfort and inquire about the situation, it can increase the sense of security of the residents.

During this period, there was no peace on the north side of the city wall. Several small groups of undead monsters had launched attacks.

Although they have been jointly annihilated by various troops, these are precursors, indicating that the second wave of offensive has been formed and the undead monsters will soon move south in large numbers.

In order to cope with the coming crisis, Owen had to consider whether to call back all the search team members.

After successfully blocking the second wave of attacks, go to the Sky Mountains to continue searching for vampires.

If you do this, it will become extremely difficult to find traces of vampires. God knows whether the vampires will go further during this time.

At this moment, Lusha hurriedly came to the castle with a tribesman, saying that he had discovered the vampire's hiding place.

So fast? Owen was a little surprised and quickly asked them to come in and explain the situation.

Since Viscount Jarvis was responsible for the battle on the northern city wall, Owen made a special case to let Rusha take charge of the task of searching for vampires.

A search team consists of an agile lizard and a shooting team member, so that there is at least some care for each other.

There is no need to worry about the issue of trust. Both sides are comrades who have fought together on the northern city wall, and have already formed basic mutual trust.

If something is discovered, the hunter will stay and continue to guard the surroundings, while the lizard man will quickly run back to report to Lusha.

In terms of manpower delivering messages, agile lizardmen can run far faster than humans, and can even treat the water as flat ground and run wildly on it.

"Haha! The search team found traces of the vampire, hiding in an abandoned magic stone mine."

As soon as he entered the room, Lusha couldn't wait to report the results of the search to Owen.

"I didn't expect to find the vampire so quickly. It's so efficient." Owen praised.

"Of course, my people have lived in the secret forest for so long, and they are many times better at hunting for prey than your hunters!"

Judging from Lusha's proud look, it is estimated that the tribesmen he sent played a key role in this search.

"Can you tell me how you found out?" Owen needed to know the details.

"no problem."

Lusha turned to a tall and thin tribesman next to him and said, "Xilon, please explain."

Owen had some impression of this Xiron. He was the lizard man who rushed over to him for help.

Shiron stepped forward and began to explain the discovery process.

"After searching for several days in the Tianqiong Mountains, I accidentally found a buried body of a unicorn rabbit under the snow. This is a weak monster. All the blood in the body was drained, leaving only a shriveled body. After inspection,

, I found vampire bite marks on it."

"You can find bodies buried under the snow."

Owen was curious about how the lizard men were discovered.

"Of course." Xiron showed a confident expression, "Even if it is buried in snow, the corpse can still emit a faint smell. Humans cannot smell these smells, but we lizard people can smell them."

"I see."

Xiron continued: "Then, my partner Maddie and I expanded the scope of our search around this body. Combining the known information, vampires like to hide in dark places, we found an abandoned magic stone mine.

, and found traces of someone coming in and out at the entrance of the cave, which confirmed that the vampire was hiding inside."

He actually calls a human on the same team his partner, which shows how good the relationship between the two is.

Moreover, Shillong's teammate turned out to be Tracy McGrady. It was him again who made great contributions to Border Guard Town many times. This kind of talent must be rewarded.

"very good."

Owen nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and said to the two people in front of him: "Without further ado, we will prepare for the arrest. It would be bad if at night, the vampire notices something is wrong and the target runs away."

Ending this matter as soon as possible will allow the people in the territory to feel at ease and focus on dealing with the threats to the north.

Owen sent someone to ask Bishop Flynn for support from the priests, and then took Lusha, the two of them and Mapel to the northern city wall, intending to select a few combat warriors to participate in this capture operation.

Irving will also personally go to this arrest operation.

To be honest, he was very concerned about whether the vampire was really innocent. If so, he hoped to avoid a fight and convince the other party to accept the church's trial, so that he would no longer have to live in hiding.

I heard the farmer describe before that the vampire wore simple animal skins as clothes and seemed to have suffered a lot.

After explaining the situation to Viscount Jarvis, he personally selected four knights with good skills to participate in the capture operation.

Originally, Viscount Jarvis also planned to go with him, but Owen forced him to stay because the northern city wall needed a commander who could coordinate the overall situation.

There is no need to worry about Owen's safety. With the protection of two powerful people, Mapel and Lusha, I believe that vampires will not be able to get close to him.

As soon as he walked out of the tent, Owen saw Teresa walking over with a solemn look on her face.

"Sir Owen, Bishop Flynn sent me to help you capture vampires."

"With you here, of course it would be the best." Owen said with a smile.

Teresa is the priest who is best at believing in magic in Border Guard Town, and is undoubtedly the best helper in dealing with vampires.
