"What's going on, Ludwig?"
Ludwig!
When Yin Shang saw the dense artillery fire sweeping overhead and bombarding the Eternal Night Castle, he sensed that something terrible was about to happen.
Moments later, the Eternal Night Castle was enveloped by a massive dark blue barrier. He realized it was Ludwig's power, but her physical condition was clearly...
"Ludwig!! The Vampire Queen!"
Then, a clearly weak royal decree echoed in Yin Shang's mind, before her voice abruptly cut off.
No matter how much Yin Shang called out to her, she did not respond.
"She's acting recklessly again. She just loves to show off, and she never stops! And she has the nerve to criticize me..."
...
"Meow meow!"
A cat's head suddenly popped out of Yin Shang's pocket, startling him.
"Reinhardt?! Didn't I tell you to stay in the castle?!"
It said, "There are too many enemies this time. I can't let my master go on this risk... My master will die!"
Its tone was firm.
“I am your Solid, and I am your Reinhardt. We have always been partners who fight side by side.”
hum-
It leaped out of Yin Shang's pocket and, in a burst of light, transformed into the gentle nun Solid.
"I won't let you leave me to face danger alone."
...
Yin Shang sighed:
"Heh...yes, it was my fault."
He waved and continued running forward.
"Then let's go, stay close."
"The Vampire Queen only sent me in this direction because the entrance and exit are narrower and there are fewer enemies guarding it. It seems she thinks I can handle it all by myself..."
“How many people are there?” Solid asked.
Yin Shang smiled helplessly: "Just over two hundred."
Solid's jaw nearly dropped in astonishment: "Huh?"
...
Yin Shang patted her head, his expression immediately turning serious.
"Neither you nor I are human, so solving their problems is not impossible."
...
With their superhuman physical abilities, the two arrived at the mercenaries' blockade line in half a minute.
“Brother Yin, they have protected the artillery positions in the middle, so there’s no way to get around them from any direction.”
Solid's cat-like eyes had extremely high vision, and she came to this conclusion after observing for a few seconds.
Yin Shang said, "Then let's break through head-on. Follow me."
Solid exclaimed in shock, "Frontline?! Brother Yin, don't be impulsive—"
Yin Shang turned to look at her:
"What can we do? If we let them bombard us a few more times, the delicate vampire queen and her castle will be destroyed together."
"I imagine... the vampire warriors in other positions have similar thoughts. We must eliminate these artillerymen, at all costs."
"Because she is the future of the vampire clan!"
Chapter 229 Light and Darkness
At this moment, on the castle's high platform.
Lingxi used the nursing skills she had acquired as a former priest to take Ludwig's pulse.
Her brows were furrowed, and her expression was grave.
"She is severely anemic, but her life is not in immediate danger, thanks to the perfect fusion of the Queen's power with her..."
Hiliott's voice echoed in Lingxi's mind:
"The Queen's powers didn't seem to be a burden to her? Wait, now's not the time to worry about that."
Lingxi looked up at the Eternal Night Witch floating high in the sky, maintaining the barrier of the [Full Moon Radiance], and marveled to herself.
Even though her physical body had lost consciousness, her Eternal Night Witch remained motionless, maintaining her "magic" and keeping all threats outside the Eternal Night Castle.
Our women
My son... possesses a determination and awareness that we can hardly match.
"But now we are no longer in charge of the overall situation, much less able to turn the tide. All we can do is alleviate her anemia and help her hold on for a few more hours."
The girl's golden hair fluttered gently, turning silvery-white in the breeze.
The silver-haired girl looked at the vampire queen in her arms and couldn't help but smile:
"Yes."
“Our Queen has already arranged everything. If we act on our own initiative, it might backfire.”
In fact, given the former queen's prestige, she could immediately take over Ludwig's command of the current battle if she so desired.
But vampires live in a society with clear class divisions and strict hierarchies, and what she did was tantamount to overstepping her bounds.
And, most importantly—she was unwilling to do so.
Now, she wants to be a mother who protects her children more than a queen.
...
Hilliot unhooked her choker, revealing her fair and delicate neck.
She gently lifted Ludwig and brought her neck close to her lips and teeth.
"Come on, drink up."
Her vampire instincts drive her to suck blood unconsciously, so even when she is unconscious, Hilliot can replenish her nutrition in this way.
"Brave vampire warrior..."
Hiriote's blood-red eyes stared into the endless darkness, where chaotic flames in the distance signaled that the battle had begun.
At this moment, her hair was once again dyed golden.
"...I'm leaving everything to you."
Lingxi looked at Ludwig in her arms, gently stroked her silver hair, and sighed softly.
...
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something.
"...Little Shirley, have you seen where Lochina went?"
Hiriote responded to her in her mind, her voice tinged with obvious terror:
"I didn't notice! When...when did she disappear!"
...
...
...
"who!"
When the mercenary group guarding the entrance saw two figures emerge from the woods, they all simultaneously aimed their weapons in that direction.
Upon seeing that the newcomers were vampires, they followed the order to kill without hesitation and immediately opened fire.
Bang bang bang bang bang——
Amidst the hail of bullets, a golden light flashed, and the sacred golden barrier firmly blocked all the firepower.
Under the cover of night, the intense golden light blinded the mercenaries, causing them to instinctively close their eyes. When they looked back, only a strange nun remained behind the golden barrier.
"There's one more person! Where did they go?!"
...
...
Zheng——
The sound of a blade being drawn was crystal clear amidst the cacophony of gunfire.
The sound came from even further back from the artillery positions.
The mercenaries turned around in surprise, and in the darkness, the blade of the evil demonic weapon reflected the cold moonlight.
The figure's pupils appeared incredibly red in the darkness. He bent slightly, his left hand gripping the scabbard, and his right hand tightly holding the hilt of the demonic weapon that was already half-drawn from its sheath.
"Within ten paces, a spear is fast, but within five paces, a knife is both accurate and fast."
Driven by Yin Shang, blood flowed through his entire body and seeped into the blade—
In that instant, it seemed as if he could control all the bullets that were rushing toward him.
With the combined enhancements of magical artifacts, blood energy, and the vampire's body, he was even able to spot the gaps between bullets and easily find the opportune moment to use his power.
The blade is drawn, without reservation.
"Cut!"
Cha——!
Yin Shang swung his sword forward, and instantly a strange wind pressure swept around him.
The roar of artillery fire abruptly ceased, and all the bullets aimed at him vanished under this single strike!
At this moment, the space in front of him was in a strange state; from the mercenary's perspective, it looked as if space itself had been torn open.
A spindle-shaped opening!
"Witchcraft! Witchcraft! Monster!"
Before the terrified mercenaries could react, he immediately swung his knife a second time.
Cha——!
The second cut also tore through space, forming an X-shaped intersection together with the first cut.
He then leaped into the eerie X-shape and vanished instantly.
"Wandering Armor, don it."
Almost the instant he leaped into that X-shape, he appeared in the very center of the artillery position!
At this moment, he was covered in jet-black knight's armor, like a knight from hell.
A scarlet glow emanated from the eye holes of that menacing helmet.
"You shouldn't have acted as accomplices to evil... and you definitely shouldn't have provoked the vampires!"
Yin Shang obtained his own magical artifact, [Apokel], from the vampire's treasure vault. The power contained in this artifact can manifest a suit of armor according to the wielder's mental image.
He gave this black knight's armor the same name as before.
The wandering knight has returned, fallen into darkness.
His vampire identity and the power of darkness profoundly affected his mind, making him completely unscrupulous in harming humans who were no longer his kind.
