The old butler quickly explained the current situation.

"Oh, is that so?" Li Ziyu nodded, indicating that he understood.

No wonder there was such a mess outside, it turned out that the Byron vampire had broken in.

But it doesn't matter, he is not afraid.

If it was a Byronic vampire in its heyday, it would be difficult for the Dark Knight to deal with it. He would need to consider seeking refuge and protecting himself first.

Although there are not many black warriors around him, the combat effectiveness of the Byron vampires has dropped too much. Even if he is besieged by hundreds of Byron vampires, Li Ziyu doesn't care.

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem." Li Ziyu patted the old butler's shoulder and comforted him.

"Sir..." The old butler opened his mouth, but remembered the scene where the vampire monster was instantly killed by two black warriors, and swallowed back what he was about to say.

The lord in front of me has brought a lot of such warriors. If they all have such fighting power, it seems that there is no need to be too afraid.

"Go, gather all the servants, I will arrange my soldiers to patrol and provide protection." Li Ziyu ordered.

"Yes, sir." The old butler said gratefully.

Even though he is a butler, to the master, they are just inferior people. When danger comes, no one will care about the lives of these servants.

If they could exchange their lives for their own, the nobles would sacrifice the lives of their subordinates without hesitation.

For the nobles, servants were no different from livestock. If they died, they died. The worst that could happen was that they could just spend money to find them.

The old butler didn't expect that the man in front of him could still think of them at such a critical moment, and a warm feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

…

The inner city is experiencing a major change that no one expected.

The Byron vampire gave up the civilians in the outer city who were within his reach and suddenly turned to attack the inner city, catching the nobles in the inner city off guard.

They ran away, looking for a place to hide, and cursed the city lord.

What kind of thing was this? Just because they were afraid of the city lord's ruthlessness, they lent him their private soldiers. As a result, the private soldiers were taken out to fight, but the enemy's main force directly attacked the base camp.

Without their private soldiers, the nobles were like toothless tigers. Even though the Byron vampires were already extremely weak, they were still unable to deal with them. Apart from running away, they had no better response.

If they had private soldiers by their side, they would never be in such a mess. At least those blood-sucking monsters would not dare to act recklessly.

The nobles could only pin their hopes on the four shepherds returning with their men as soon as possible to defend the city, rather than lingering for the sake of the untouchables in the outer city.

They gathered together spontaneously, relying on the remaining private soldiers in their hands to fight and escape.

Behind them, a dozen or so Byron vampires followed, with playful looks on their faces, as if they were playing a game of cat and mouse.

Not to mention the nobles, even the private soldiers who were dressed in armor and usually shouted orders were filled with fear at this moment.

The armor they were so proud of was nothing in front of the vampire monster. Just a few claws could make holes in it. The strength and skills they had trained themselves to develop could not even break the skin of the vampire monster.

The panicked nobles had no idea where they were going. They only knew that they could not stop and had to keep running. As soon as they wanted to stop and rest, the terrible monsters behind them would pounce on them.

Can't stop!

Can't stop for a moment!

Stopping means death!

Even though they were panting like cows and their lungs felt like bellows, they dared not stop.

Anyone who falls behind is great news to these nobles, because the stragglers will become food for the monsters and have their blood sucked dry while screaming.

They won’t chase me if they’re full, right?

That's right.

It must be like this!

They would rather believe this, otherwise it would be too terrible and would make them lose hope of living.

They had to find an excuse for themselves so that they could continue running and escape from this hunt.

No one noticed that the nobles were heading towards the estate of Shepherd Torento.

"The manor! It's the manor! Huhuhu... We're saved!"

The noble who was running in front saw the manor gate and immediately started shouting loudly, but then his violent coughing caused him to be overtaken by the others.

Damn it, I shouldn't have yelled.

Because of the stitches he got from shouting, he could no longer maintain his leading position and could only watch as one noble after another passed him.

He turned his head and saw that there were many people behind him. Fortunately, he gathered his strength and ran forward.

"Damn it! Whose manor is this? Why is the door locked?!"

The noble who was in the front pushed hard on the iron gate. The gate shook and made a rattling sound. He then realized that the gate was locked with an iron chain as thick as a finger.

The noble cursed angrily and turned to the private soldiers beside him and shouted, "Chop it open!"

The private soldier also knew that the situation was urgent, so he immediately stepped forward with a large axe made of fine steel, swung it around and chopped it down hard.

The sharp axe blade drew a streak of sparks on the iron chain, successfully cutting it in half.

The nobleman kicked out without thinking, kicked the iron gate open, and without even looking back, he lowered his head and ran forward for his life.

The other nobles were not to be outdone and followed closely behind him.

They could already see the villa with lights on in the distance, which was their destination.

Run there!

There must be people there. Let those people be food for the blood-sucking monsters. Once they are full, you will be safe!
