The sky is completely dark, and there is no more sunlight. No matter where you are, the darkness is still darkness. Time is passing day by day, and a week has passed.
At the beginning, after the news of the disastrous defeat of the Sarajevo city defense force spread, many civilians in the city immediately fell into panic. Rumors spread all over the sky, and group riots almost broke out. Fortunately, there was a waste of time.
Due to Governor Sal's foresight, the relevant authorities in the Governor's Mansion quickly began actions to maintain public order in the city. They not only issued martial law, but also implemented a curfew in the entire city and strictly controlled prices. In addition, the Governor's Mansion desperately promoted the city.
There are only a few vampires outside, and reinforcements from the Ottoman Empire are already on the way and will arrive soon.
After several days of continuous efforts, the chaos in Sarajevo has finally eased a lot, but the free and open commercial atmosphere has been completely wiped out. The busy flow of people on the streets on weekdays has suddenly become empty, and the atmosphere has become empty.
It's very deserted. Occasionally, you can only see some heavily armed city defense soldiers patrolling, and looking at the trembling looks of these soldiers, you can tell that they are all new recruits who have just been forcibly recruited.
The army led by Patton is still confronting the city of Sarajevo. Over the past week or so, large groups of people have tried to flee the city from time to time, especially outsiders who are in a similar situation to Allen and others. At most,
Someone once organized an escape team of more than hundreds of people, hired many mercenaries to act as bodyguards to escort them, and got out of the sewers of the city. As expected, they were discovered by the vampire scouts, allowing Barton to be easily killed.
After intercepting them, they were all thrown into the Blood Furnace. Moreover, the exit of the sewer outside the city was also blocked by Barton.
After that, except for a few lucky ones who might be able to escape successfully, no one dared to organize a large-scale escape team. Moreover, the Governor's Mansion was under martial law and a curfew, and he did not want the people in the city to be in vain because of their own
Out of fear, they fled in vain to die. And as time went by, the hundreds of thousands of people who stayed in the city gradually began to believe that the vicious vampires outside the city were not preparing to attack the city. Then, by then,
As soon as the Ottoman Empire's army arrives, these vampires will inevitably retreat.
Allen was very anxious. He knew very well that if such a large team went out, the target would be too big and they would be intercepted 100% of the time. And the risk of uncertainty in scattered escapes would be too great. If you are unlucky, you would be intercepted.
A collision would be a tragedy. Allen never expected that Patton would adopt such a flexible method and seal off the entire Sarajevo with just a few thousand people. His military experience was indeed far inferior to that of
These are the generals who actually direct the war.
Now, whether to secretly and risk evacuation, or to quietly continue to wait for the reinforcements from the Ottoman Empire to arrive. Whether to leave or stay, Allen and others have no idea. Kevin's suggestion is to stay, there is no need to take risks, as a soldier
He firmly believed that with the strength of the Ottoman Empire, within a few months at most, large armies and strong men would come to encircle and suppress them.
Within this week, the only good news is that Tina’s injury is almost healed! The monks at the mosque used a hydrotherapy method that uses spiritual power. Not only are the burns basically healed, but the ugly scars are also healed.
They have almost recovered. What's more important is that during the more than a week of healing time and contact with these monks, Tina actually practiced the "Old Sutra" to the first level! She really did it.
!
Not only that, after Governor Faisal learned about the situation of the Black Moon Fang, he thought that Allen and others had some merit, and actually waived the final payment of this elite-level war puppet. It must be said that it was
A piece of pleasant news. Tina, who was still recovering from her injuries, heard the news and wanted to ignore her injuries. She wanted to rush over to pick up the goods. Fortunately, the monks at the mosque persuaded her to stop her burns. Her burns were not treated in time.
If it is clean, if it is left for a long time, the scar will be permanent. In this way, a woman's beauty-loving nature overwhelms her active personality, and she has to stay and continue to heal, and continue to practice the "Old Sutra" by the way.
However, with Tina's current situation, the best she can do is to activate the Black Moon Fang, and it is still out of reach to actually be able to fight.
Outside the city of Sarajevo, in the vampire camp, the eight blood furnaces were operating at full capacity, and the blood was billowing. In addition to the corpses of the 10,000 city defense cavalry at the beginning, in more than a week, more and more people escaped from the city.
Thousands of corpses were collected in the process. After this back and forth, the blood essence and blood harvested in just one week was actually more than the total blood essence and blood obtained by Barton in more than a month of sneak attacks on small villages!
"My Lord Earl! The progress at the Blood Furnace is gratifying!" said the baron who always followed Barton, with a hint of surprise in his tone.
"Not enough! Still slow!..." Barton was very unhappy and said unceremoniously. In fact, his mood at the moment was not calm at all, and he was getting more and more anxious. During the blockade that lasted for a week, he ran around,
Running back and forth on this hundreds of kilometers of battlefield, not only intercepted many escapees, but also picked up many passing caravans. The harvest of human flesh and blood was also quite rich.
However, it is still far away from Barton's goal! Moreover, after this week, Barton is sure that whether it is the scattered fish that escaped or the caravans that come and go, someone must have brought the news here.
go out!
Time is now Patton's biggest enemy! He has no time, and the army to encircle him may arrive in an instant. What is even more annoying is that there is absolutely no movement in Sarajevo. Under his original idea, he expected that at least
Someone will come out to negotiate with him! But now the door of Sarajevo is closed and there is no sound.
Patton had commanded those siege trebuchets and smashed them randomly, but the city walls of Sarajevo were tall and thick, and the number of trebuchets was too few. Apart from smashing a few deep holes into the thick city walls, there was no other threat.
The other party really just kept calm and waited for changes. This just pinched Patton's weakness of lack of time. If he continued to wait like this, it was definitely not an option. The army to encircle and suppress him might already be on the way.
Barton was always a bad-tempered man, but now he was even more anxious and annoyed. He was pacing back and forth with his hands clasped behind his hands.
Suddenly, Barton gritted his teeth and came to a blood furnace. He stared at the huge blood ruby above and was silent for a long time. The progress of each blood furnace was different, and the one in front of him was already a
Nearly ten years of blood essence!
Barton pointed with his right hand, and the ten-year-old blood essence slowly floated in front of him.
"My lord, you must not do this!... If Her Royal Highness the Queen knows..." The baron on the side had already realized that something was wrong, and immediately advised in a panic. If you dare to think of something that scares Her Royal Highness, you are really risking your life.
Got it!
"Stop talking nonsense!" Barton said back.
After another moment, Barton seemed to have finally made up his mind. He held the huge blood-red gem with both hands and began to absorb it! The blood energy dispersed instantly, and traces of blood energy continued to enter Barton's body from his mouth and nose. At the same time, Barton
His eyes gradually glowed with blood, and his body kept shaking. That was excitement! Barton's blood was boiling!
Finally, after several hours, the blood ruby gradually disappeared from Barton's hand. Barton closed his eyes tightly, raised his head, took a deep breath, and then spit it out heavily, looking like he was enjoying it very much.
Suddenly, Barton's eyes opened, and his eyes were blood red. He pressed his hands in the air, and his whole body slowly floated up, floating in the void!
"Hahaha!!! I've been promoted!!! I'm a Marquis!!!" An arrogant and arrogant voice resounded throughout the sky...
