When legion commander Vinos, Diego, Bogul, Yeskovic and others rushed to the hall, the vampire lord was already lying on the ground, turning into a bloody corpse. Its magic wings were broken.
He had a branch, an arm was also broken, and his body was covered with wounds. The largest wound was on his neck. A deep gash penetrated his throat, like a big open mouth filled with dried blood clots. It looked very scary.
Vinos's eyes widened. His limited brain capacity obviously couldn't understand how a human could kill a vampire alone in a short time? Or a lord-level vampire. And from Rhodes' face, he couldn't see any fatigue at all.
, without even taking too much breath. How did he do it? Vinos was puzzled.
Bogul, Yeskovich, and the witch hunter knew very well that the ancient tomb they entered together had taken away the soul-binding artifact that was originally occupied by the Necromancer. Now this weapon is in Luo
However, except for a few of them, no one else knew about it. It can be said that the greater the risk, the greater the reward in the end. At first, a group of people risked their lives to sneak into the ancient tomb, steal the artifact, and then risked losing their minds.
Transporting artifacts out of ancient tombs is something that normal people would not do, but they did it. Now, their boss's strength has obviously reached a higher level. You know, half a month ago, they were still beaten by this vampire
The lord tortured it to death. But now, Rhodes alone is enough to kill it alone.
Secrets are secrets after all. Even Bogul, the loudest man, remained silent in front of the general sent by the queen. He did not mention the soul-binding dagger at all. And Rhodes had already put the dagger in his sleeve, replacing the original one.
's Hidden Blade.
"What are you going to do with this castle?"
Rhodes asked, panting slightly.
"Burn them clean. Vampires must be burned clean to truly exterminate them."
Commander Vinos answered seriously.
"Yes, I agree."
Rhodes answered calmly. He just thought that more than half a month ago, this was a quiet town with so many people living in the city, but half a month later, it became a dead city... This kind of
The changes can't help but make Rhodes feel a little emotional. Moreover, he actually has some responsibility for causing today's situation. If he had measured the vampire's strength clearly and not attacked rashly, perhaps today's situation would not have happened. From a certain
On the other hand, it was actually him who harmed the civilians of this city...
Sigh... Rhodes sighed deeply in his heart.
When leaving the Dark Whisper Castle, everyone saw the burning town again, which was almost exactly the same as the scene when they escaped from the Dark Whisper Castle that day. However, there were no screams or residents fleeing in panic, but quietly, letting the flames burn and devour them.
The whole city...the air was filled with the stench of roasted carrion, and the city gates were overwhelmed and finally collapsed...
When returning to the northern camp, Rhodes got some news from Vinos again, some not-so-good news. The Stone Fortress was breached by the Kislev Grizzly Bear Army, and three hundred Shooting Army soldiers participated in the attack.
In this battle, the ending of Cracked Stone Castle was the same as that of Dark Whisper Castle. The entire castle was reduced to a sea of flames overnight, and thousands of innocent civilians were slaughtered... The Queen's methods were exactly the same, burning them all, robbing them all, and killing them all. For the traitors, Carter
Linna has never softened her heart...
The mercenary group hired by Erengrad was completely powerless. The two-month-long war gradually made them lose the battle and put them at a disadvantage. After all, the Ice Queen had assembled all the regular army groups in Kislev, plus
The griffin army is hard for mercenaries to resist.
Rhodes knew that this rebellion had a huge impact on Kislev, and the already not very wealthy kingdom would become even more impoverished. At least, many people fled to the neighboring empire to avoid the war...Osterland and Austrian Territory
It seems that there will be a large number of immigrants in Stemark in a short period of time...
Fortunately, the capital city of Kislev has not heard any rumors of attacks for the time being, which makes Rhodes a little lucky. At least Dennis is safe. Yes, he has not seen her for a long time...
**********
The storm at sea in the past few days finally stopped. Facing the rising sun, the Kislev fleet assembled in the old port in a mighty manner, preparing to head towards the Erengrad harbor. According to the instructions of the Ice Queen, this newly formed fleet
It will arrive at the port of Ehrengrad within three days, completely defeat the rebel sea power, and together with the three legions on land, surround the city of Ehrengrad.
The commander-in-chief of this naval fleet is a naval admiral named Disma. In terms of blood relationship, he and Tsarina Caterina can be regarded as distant relatives. His grandfathers were brothers of the same race who fought side by side, and they were together in the
Served in the Royal Legion of Kislev, serving as the commander of the Krem Imperial Army and the commander of the cavalry.
However, unlike Cohen, Admiral Disma does have his own abilities. He did not rise to the top solely based on connections, but relied on military merit to climb up the ranks little by little. Of course, the support of his family behind him is also very strong.
important.
Since the incident with Grand Duke Cohen, Catalina has become very cautious in hiring people. Disma selected them after repeated deliberation. Others, although some have higher status, are indeed insufficient in ability. The Erengrad War enters
The most critical period, at this time, Catalina didn't want any more traps to appear.
"General, there is a dwarf outside the door asking to see you."
In the old port, in the Admiral's headquarters, the guard captain reported to Navy Commander Disma.
"dwarf?"
"Well, it's Alvis, the financial officer of the Iron Ring Castle."
"Oh...I remembered, Lord Aubrey's biological brother. Invite him in. Also, don't call him a dwarf next time."
Disma said, collecting the books and letters on the table and putting them on the bookshelf.
"Your Excellency, please take a seat."
Disma said politely.
"Thank you." Alves walked to the chair with small steps, climbed on the chair, and sat with the admiral.
"What do you find me for?"
Disma asked. He poured a bottle of wine for Alves. Although there were vodka and rum in the fleet, for the nobles, drinking wine was more of a status symbol. Just like
Most of those who drink beer and ale in the tavern are commoners, while those who drink wine are mostly nobles, because the price of wine is relatively high.
"Well, it's true." Alves took a sip of wine, "What I want to say is, isn't it inappropriate to let these people from the North aboard the ship at the Battle of Erengrad?"
"What's inappropriate?"
Disma asked.
"There is no sea in the north, not even a decent river. The warriors in the north can be very fierce on land, but when it comes to the sea, they are all landlubbers. These people cannot fight at sea at all."
Alves said. His expression was very serious, but it seemed that Disma had already made his own plans. He took his time and just continued to pour a bottle of wine for Alves, saying——
"I don't expect them to fight at sea. The helmsman will drive the ship to the designated position, and the gunner will fire in time to suppress the opponent's firepower. The northern soldiers only need to board the ship at the time, kill the enemy sailors, and occupy the ship.
Already."
"But they are even afraid of the sea and cannot stand firmly on the deck..."
Alves retorted.
"The other side is not a professional sailor. Do you think this battle is all about professional armies? Where can Kislev get so many navies? We are fighting, and so are those animals in Erengrad."
