Chapter 156 155. The End of the Batasin Massacre
From the unlucky vampire Mary, Murphy quickly learned about various things that happened in Cadman City an hour before the astral rift broke out.
But she actually didn't know much.
According to her, that day she and her lover Mox were hiding in a dark little house facing the street, doing some things that they could not pass the trial. It was only because of the vampire's keen sense of psychic powers that the two of them were allowed to do so.
One discovered that the Serenade barrier was suddenly closed.
Then Mox took her to investigate everywhere in the shadows of the city.
Well, it can be seen from this detail that the idiot vampire who told Murphy to "eat before going on the road" is actually a guy who is very loyal to his family.
This can be seen from his willingness to risk being burned by the sun to detect crises for his family. This is not something that any vampire would be willing to meddle in.
However, these two unlucky wild mandarin ducks were obviously very unlucky.
According to Mary, as soon as they went out and before they could figure out what was going on, they were beaten down by a group of traitors who had no martial ethics.
Those bastards who had surrendered to the Wolfsbane Clan not only closed down the city's barrier core, but also took away a lot of the family's wealth. There were even theoretically absolute loyalists like the Corridor Guards and the Clan Chief's personal guards involved.
Mox was killed on the spot and even had his vampire heart taken away, but Mary barely escaped.
But it was not because the traitors cherished her, but because they ran out of time. They threw the seriously injured Mary in the garbage dump to die and then quickly evacuated the city. When Mary climbed out of the garbage pile, she saw with her own eyes that Cadman City was destroyed by the stars.
swallowed by the fissure.
She was supposed to die there.
But she was lucky. She was discovered by a group of escaped family members who took her out before the astral psychic energy completely engulfed the city. They then made their way to Bataxin City to settle down.
"Mokes and I are both official members of the family, so we have a certain reputation among marginalized people. It was precisely because of this that when we settled in Bataxin City, we were noticed by the supervisor here, Old Joel."
Mary had already been taken out of the cellar.
While grabbing the blood bottle Murphy threw to her and sipping to regain some strength, she collapsed on the ground and took out the family seal ring that she didn't know where to hide to prove her identity, and continued to report the next events to Lord Murphy.
It can be seen that the suffering Mary suffered has made her almost desperate.
The appearance of Murphy at this time was undoubtedly her only hope to survive and regain her identity, so there was no need for Murphy to urge her. She just poured out beans through a bamboo tube and told everything she knew.
"But old Joel is a fool, a lunatic, and a disgusting scumbag. He did some, uh, disgusting things to me while I was weak! He also tried to make me his heir, but he's just a mediocre person.
!
Just passing the Silver Trial with the lowest standards has exhausted all his potential. He is simply not as good as my Mox.
My dear and poor Mox."
Mary's tone was a little sad, but she quickly continued:
"Joel knew everything that happened in Cadman City. He thought that the Blood Vulture Clan had been destroyed, so he stupidly started to collude with the Thorn Clan. I don't know if he had a secret conspiracy with the Thorn Nightcrawlers before, but
His message was quickly responded to.
The other party sent people over and continued to recruit traitors from the family.
I strongly object!
Especially after hearing that Mrs. Tris has become the new Grand Duke, I think we should return to Cadman City to be loyal to her. However, I overestimated the bottom line of my fellow clan."
She reached out and touched her chest.
There was a terrible mark there, like a hot horseshoe stamped by some kind of torture, and with the blessing of psychic energy, it was a wound that could not be healed even by the vampire's self-healing power.
she says:
"Fear drove Joel crazy. He knew that once his deeds were discovered, he would bring terrible punishment, so he marked me with the shame of a slave, imprisoned me and my servants here, and began to
Actively contact the Thorn Clan.
We were in despair until your warriors found us."
Murphy squinted his eyes and looked at the extremely humble female vampire at his feet. After a few seconds, he said:
"You are obviously lying, but I did not ask whether you are loyal. That is something that can be discussed later. The problem is that what you said is different from what my warriors reported. It was you who took the initiative to call me out.
Only your name made them spare your lives, but you said that what you heard was the news that Tris became the Grand Duke!
But you had no idea before that I had become the lord of this land.
You are obviously hiding something!
Mary, I’ll give you one last chance to make it clear!”
Murphy's keenness and his ability to find loopholes in a sentence made Mary tremble all over. She wailed, and a few seconds later she hugged Murphy's feet and screamed:
"No, sir, I didn't lie to you! It's just that I just experienced very strange things. I think that compared to telling the ridiculous facts, perhaps ignoring those things can make you think that I am not talking nonsense.
It was a voice I heard before!
It said to me that you will come to save us. I don't know how to describe it, but it just suddenly appeared in my heart and announced to me that there is hope."
"sound?"
Murphy narrowed his eyes and asked:
"What kind of sound? Describe it to me in detail."
"It was chaotic, like many people's voices superimposed together. It just kept repeating Murphy's words that he would save us, but it didn't pay attention to my prayers and inquiries at all."
Mary said hoarsely:
"It suddenly appeared in my weak sleep. I don't know how to describe it, but if I have to say it, it is probably similar to the 'divine revelation' that those believers call it. When I was paid to torture those old religious fanatics
, and occasionally I would hear them say that they could hear the whispers and murmurs of the gods they believed in.
That voice appeared just once!
I remember it very clearly, just the night before."
"The night before?"
Murphy thought in his mind.
Wasn't that the time when I took Maxim and Adele from the Scarlet Castle?
If what this frightened female vampire said is true, does it mean that the mysterious voice predicted what will happen tonight?
This does sound like some kind of unique "divine inspiration", but the question is that vampires are eternal sinners, why does this happen? Could it be that a god suddenly changed his temper or had a brain convulsion, and really had a crush on shit?
Wonderful interest?
Vampires have no gods of their own
etc!
wrong!
Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed through Murphy's mind, making his whole body tense up. The scene when the Holy Blood Pool Hall collapsed suddenly flashed into his mind. When the subspace rift collapsed towards the star realm, that ferocious
And the warp shadow of Phemis is still calling out in its twisted attempt to enter the physical world!
The twisted god created by Sarokdar after sacrificing most of the Blood Vulture Clan's elite, that indescribable thing called the "Midnight Mistress".
In a sense, isn't that guy the "god" created by Sarokdar for the vampires?
Could it be
hiss!
Murphy suddenly took a breath of air.
He suddenly realized that the biggest gain from his trip to Baltaxin might not be that he executed the traitor and deterred the Thorn Clan who was about to make a move, but that it was the unlucky Mary at his feet who was hugging his leg and begging for mercy.
But Murphy knew nothing about this aspect of mystical knowledge. Fortunately, he had an immediate boss who was the top theologian on the continent.
Tris can definitely tell more from it.
"Be decent, Mary."
Murphy lowered his head and looked at the unlucky vampire holding his leg begging for mercy with disgust. He whispered:
"The news you brought back is exactly what the Grand Duke and I need, so you can be forgiven, but you did something wrong after all. When the clan was in crisis, you did not come back to help but stood by and waited for the price! You know, this
It is a sin that is difficult to forgive."
"I know I was wrong, sir. I am willing to pay any price, just to pray that you can regard me as a member of the Blood Vulture again."
Mary prostrated herself on the ground and prayed:
"I am willing to offer my blood essence to become yours."
"I don't need more servants for the time being, and it's not up to me to decide your fate."
Murphy waved his hands and said:
"Pack up your things, take your followers who have suffered together, and follow my warriors back to Scarlet Castle. The noble Tris will decide your fate. And since you accuse the family of rebellion, this matter is related to Wolfsbane.
, I heard the name of Countess Cecilia again, so the power to judge your future life is not in my hands.
Maybe Miss Femis will be interested in you.
After all, as the Countess of Under Armor, she does need some credible followers to manage her territory."
Upon hearing these words, Mary's whole body collapsed to the ground.
She survived.
This is the best result she can get after going through so much hardship.
Other than that, she didn't want anything more.
The main reason is that as soon as Lord Murphy arrived in Bataxin City, he launched a crazy massacre of traitors. He obviously did not intend to let any of the old traitors go. This bloody method frightened survivors like Mary.
Or, let them truly realize what kind of person the young and handsome lord in front of them is.
In front of such people, escaping with one's life is already the greatest mercy.
"Mark, watch them."
Murphy summoned his servants and said to him:
"Then I will take my warriors and prisoners back to Scarlet Castle. Adele will stay here to assist Ms. Palian in controlling this trading town. I must rush back to Scarlet Castle first."
"Don't worry, Master, we will take care of everything."
Maxim said in a deep voice, and Murphy nodded. The huge blood-colored bat wings spread out at the darkest moment before dawn, and flew into the night sky. Accompanied by the blood-eating vulture Reifno, they flew towards the distance.
The night sky flew away quickly.
The "Star World Creation" hanging in the sky was like a purple lighthouse guiding his direction.
——
Dawn comes soon.
The people of Batasin, who had been frightened all night, cautiously opened their doors, expecting to see a scene of corpses strewn everywhere.
After all, the scuffle between more than a hundred vampires and hundreds of blood servants in the city last night was enough to scare everyone in the city.
Maybe even this unfortunate city was destroyed by last night's battle.
But no!
There was nothing on the streets. Not only were there no corpses lying around, there were even few aftermaths after the battle.
Only some blood vulture blood servants belonging to the "loyalists" were happily directing the homeless people in the city to clean up the streets. Faded stone statues that shone coldly in the sun were loaded onto trucks and sent out of the city to be destroyed.
Knowledgeable businessmen all know that those are the only traces left behind after a vampire dies.
Since no one stopped the residents from going out, they quickly gathered together and began to inquire about what happened last night. Soon, a breaking news spread like thunder in this small town with only a few thousand permanent residents.
.
The previous blood vulture director of Batasin City, Hertem Joel Lesembra, was personally executed by Lord Cadman for colluding with the Yankees and trying to subvert the authority of the blood vultures.
The group of usually domineering heirs under Old Joel have all been liquidated, and his blood servants who were domesticated like wild dogs have been arrested and are said to be executed at noon today on the largest trading street in the city.
.
The new manager of Batasin City, Ms. Blanche Palin Fedor nicknamed "Big Mom", is collecting evidence of the scoundrels.
And this is what surprised everyone.
Blanche Palin Fedor, a businesswoman who was born in a small village in the northern glacier region of Batassin, somehow managed to climb a high branch. She has been awarded the title of knight by Lord Cadman and is fully responsible for the county.
certain business matters.
It is said that she has been authorized to form a small organization to manage the city of Bataxin.
According to rumors that have passed through several hands, all members of this small organization will be appointed by Ms. Palian. Therefore, several big businessmen in the city have rushed to the Horseshoe Hotel where Knight Palian is staying, intending to get some benefits for themselves.
.
These things have little to do with the ordinary people in the city. Anyway, no matter who the boss above them is, it will not be their turn to take the lead.
They are only interested in two things.
First, Pa Lian was not well-known among the businessmen in Batasin who were just trying to make a living. He was just a wealthy businessman who ran the business road selling daily necessities. Moreover, there were rumors in the local area that Ms. Pa Lian’s business money came from
The poor husband who was killed by her and her daughters.
That is a terrible accusation, but the question is how did such a small businessman with a complicated life experience become the retainer of a noble vampire count?
Second, how many vampires died in the city last night?
I saw these faded stone statues being sent out of the city one by one. The number alone made people feel a chill in their scalps. Is it possible that all the blood vulture gentlemen who had recently gathered in the city were killed by the new earl?
Didn’t you say that the Blood Vulture Clan was finished? Why did such a powerful vampire Earl suddenly appear again?
Well, it seems that the blood vulture's empire is not dead yet.
fair enough.
It is not a bad thing for the civilians that the 400-year rule is about to continue. Everything they are familiar with will continue to exist without having to spend time adapting to the new order of this land after experiencing a tragic ten years of war.
Although vampires are a bunch of indifferent bitches, it’s hard to imagine what Transia would be like without them.
At the same time, in the old Horseshoe Inn, the proud old owner was instructing the chef to take out all the best ingredients in the store and make a good meal for his distinguished niece Paleon, befitting the status of a knight.
exquisite lunch.
All the employees in the entire hotel were smiling, as happy as if they were out picking up money.
Because most of them come from the same village as Mrs. Palian, and now that Mrs. Palian has become enlightened, everyone's life will definitely be much easier in the future. Look, these are ordinary people in Transia, even their dreams are so humble.
In the best room on the second floor of the hotel, Ms. Palian was not so happy.
She was currently discussing important matters related to grain trading with five of the city's largest local businessmen sitting around her.
She didn't play with her tone, but told them directly:
"As long as this is done well, you will have everything you want! The Earl has promised that after the territory gets enough food, he will enshrine Bataxin City as my territory, and I also promise you!
As long as I can get this territory, you will definitely have a share in the council of managers in this city!
You all know me. My husband, who died young, and I were known for our integrity when we first started doing business together!
But if we fail, everyone.
Why don’t you think about the ‘Bataxin Massacre’ last night? I don’t think it’s just for vampires, what do you think?”
