Chapter 496 The Scarlet Prologue is about to begin

It turns out.

The quality of "Scarlet Night" is indeed good.

Many nobles of the Frost Moon Kingdom initially watched "Scarlet Night" just for political purposes.

After all, the king is watching, it's produced by the King's Hand, there's a lot of publicity, and there's a serious vampire problem going on right now.

Then, as a noble of the country, it is quite necessary for you to watch the anti-vampire drama launched by the country.

Then they discovered that although this play was indeed about fighting vampires, its content was quite powerful and its artistic quality was not low.

Then it gradually became popular and people would talk about it at parties or dances.

There is another very important reason why "Scarlet Night" can become popular.

That is the photo crystal.

In the past, Crystal Photo had a limit on the number of times it could be played, could not be edited, was not clear enough, and was expensive.

Although it is still very expensive now, at least it can be recharged, turning it from a disposable toy into a reusable player.

This is actually a very exaggerated technological advancement, which is held by Rand as a unique technology and is not currently sold to the public.

With the photo-taking crystal, you don’t have to worry about actors making mistakes in their performances and ruining the viewing experience.

Nor does it require troupe members to travel around performing in order to spread the drama.

All you need to do is put the crystal in place, pull the curtains, and there will be a screen, which is a very suitable viewing situation.

This even gave many small nobles and knight nobles who rarely had the opportunity to watch plays the opportunity to watch plays.

This creates a very powerful combination. There have been plays of better quality than Scarlet Night before, but not everyone has the opportunity to watch them.

Fewer people read it, so the discussion is low.

The more people watch it, the more discussion there will be, and then more and more people will be interested.

And this time, with Rand controlling costs, watching the drama won't cost too much.

Even villagers will have the opportunity to watch free roadside movies and TV shows.

Now a month has passed, and many nobles of the Frost Moon Kingdom have already watched "Scarlet Night".

However, the popularity of this drama in the Frost Moon Kingdom has not diminished but increased.

…

In the capital of the Frost Moon Kingdom, King Marcus lifted his hair.

"The anti-vampire fund organized by Duke Rand of the Moon Phase has collected enough donations. Next, the anti-vampire special unit will be established immediately, and then the investigation and cleansing of vampires will be started."

In order to avoid work, Marcus always pretends to be tired.

But today, he looks much more energetic.

"Everyone knows about the affairs of the Kingdom of Lensa. There may be vampires among us. Even if we don't have them, those in the middle and lower levels may have them. Everyone must strengthen the investigation. If anyone surrenders now, it's not too late. Those who surrender will be given a lighter punishment. If they continue to be enemies of humans, then everyone has seen that the anti-vampire atmosphere in the country is very strong."

If he is willing to surrender at this time, Marcus even wants to pardon him on the spot. Turning himself in now is equivalent to taking sides, so there is no need to delve too deeply into what happened before. Maybe morally serving vampires in the past is an unforgivable sin, but politically taking sides now means he is completely one of our own.

But obviously not. I don't know if it's because none of the great nobles in the Frost Moon Kingdom have any connection with vampires, or if they are obviously determined to stand on the side of vampires.

"Then we'll adjourn the meeting if nothing else." Marcus waved his hand and said, "If anyone wants to report or surrender, they can also drop the letter into the palace mailbox."

Marcus himself was the first to leave the venue.

The anti-vampire fund was naturally Rand's idea. Marcus wanted to hand over the anti-vampire task entirely to Rand, but Rand naturally disagreed.

After the King and the Hand of the King pushed and rejected each other for a long time, it became the current situation. Rand gave the plan and assisted in its implementation, while Marcus modified the plan according to the situation and took charge.

Marcus felt that he really needed to find a way to retire. Ever since he became this crappy king, he had much less free time.

In the past, as the Duke of Thorns, he could leave those troublesome matters to his son, under the pretext of training the heir's abilities.

Well, now his son has indeed inherited the title of Duke of Thorn.

He, the former Duke of Thorns, has become a king. His workload has increased compared to before, but there are not many people who can share the work.

You can give some work to the Marquis of the Stag, and you can also give some work to Rand, but Rand is a sly guy. He has great abilities, but he seems to be even lazier than him.

But! Marcus still felt that he had it easier than the previous kings, who liked to do everything themselves and planned to complete things that would take several generations to complete in their own generation.

Just think about it, this is impossible. It takes time for people to accept change. Forcing it to speed up may not be impossible, but it will not only make you exhausted, but also involve considerable risks.

Marcus had no intention of really occupying the throne and making the Thorn Family the royal family of the Frost Moon Kingdom. He really had no such need.

Marcus left the meeting room humming a tune.

In fact, there are still some things to do, such as the adventurer commission issued by Rand to fight against the vampire conspiracy, but these things are not urgent. Marcus plans to wait until things make progress.

Anyway, Rand will definitely not lose money, so Marcus doesn't need to worry about it.

At the moment, things are still under control. With the popularity of "Scarlet Night", at least the donations to the anti-vampire movement are increasing.

When Marcus returned to the palace office, the clerk handed him a letter.

It is a letter of complaint against a vampire.

Marcus raised an eyebrow.

…

In the Kingdom of Lensa, many nobles were also amazed by the quality of "Scarlet Night".

It can only be said that if it weren't for the current situation, they would never have thought that this was specially made to fight against vampires.

At this time in the Kingdom of Lensa, discussions about "Scarlet Night" were gradually increasing.

However, Rand's influence in the Kingdom of Lensa is far less than that in the Kingdom of Frostmoon, so he can only ask Count Dandelion to promote him more.

Then, just as "Scarlet Night" was gaining more and more viewers in the Kingdom of Lensa.

The great nobles of the House of Lords of the Kingdom of Lensa, who were planning to return to their respective territories, gathered together again.

"The Coral Principality attacked our border." The queen whispered.

"This is impossible!" said a great noble in the House of Lords in disbelief.

"It is indeed impossible in theory." The Snow Fox Countess crossed her arms.

The seat of the Countess of Snow Fox is different from that of other nobles in the House of Lords.

I was alone and my seat was quite high.

This is not because her military ability makes her seem respected, but everyone is simply afraid that she will come down and beat people.

Therefore, no one sits around the Snow Fox Countess, and the seat is relatively high to make it inconvenient for her to come down quickly to hit people.

"There are only a hundred thousand people in the Coral Principality, with less than five thousand troops and about seven hundred knights. Attacking us is seeking death." The Snow Fox Countess was aware of the military strength of the Coral Principality.

In a sense, the Countess Snow Fox is the Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Lensa, but the Kingdom of Lensa does not have such a ministerial system.

"Yes, there are no other allies, and there was no prior notice. The Coral Principality previously robbed the eldest princess of the Lionheart Kingdom, and is now harmed by the Poison of the Dead. Its national strength is weakened. Theoretically, there is no reason for them to attack us, and there is no possibility of defeating us." The queen analyzed slowly.

The Queen speaks slowly, but the nobles in the House of Lords are always patient with her.

Everyone agreed with the Queen's analysis.

The Coral Principality is much smaller than the Kingdom of Lensa. Even if three or four great nobles in the House of Lords unite, it would be possible to defeat this principality.

And if there is the Snow Fox Countess as a military leader, victory is almost inevitable.

"So, everyone, do you have any ideas?" The queen looked at the nobles in the House of Lords with a calm gaze, "Why did the Coral Principality attack us?"

"It may be a disguise, just flying the flag of the Coral Principality." A noble speculated.

"It might be the manipulation of a vampire." Count Dandelion naturally suspected it was a vampire.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Then I suspect it's a conspiracy by Duke Rand of the Moon Phase." The Snow Fox Countess looked at the Dandelion Count with some sarcasm.

This is definitely not a conspiracy of Duke Rand of the Moon Phase. Countess Snow Fox is just talking.

"The king of the Coral Principality has died, and the new king has succeeded to the throne. This royal member has always been rather mysterious, and we don't know much about him. Since there is no unified guess, let's all be cautious." The "we" here by Queen Lunsa refers to the Lunsa royal family.

"Count Snow Fox." the queen called.

"I'm here." The Snow Fox Countess got down from the chair with a more complicated structure, knelt on one knee and responded.

"I appoint you as the commander of the coalition forces against the Coral Principality. If they really just have problems with their brains, let them see the power of the Kingdom of Lensa. If we discover a conspiracy, we will give our support, no matter the enemy is a vampire or Duke Rand of the Moon." When talking about Duke Rand of the Moon, the Queen couldn't help laughing.

The Snow Fox Countess also smiled and accepted the appointment.

The next step is to figure out how to crush the Coral Principality.

…

The army of the Coral Principality.

Troops and knights are marching across the Kingdom of Renza.

They only captured those castles that were located at the traffic passes, and chose to bypass the others.

Circumventing the castle means being attacked from both sides at any time, but if you attack the castles one by one, you will inevitably fail.

A forced march and surprise attack like this is the only way to achieve some results.

The size gap between the Coral Principality and the Kingdom of Lensa is simply too huge.

Many nobles in the Coral Principality were opposed to sending troops, or in other words, when they were invited by the king to the royal city of the principality and heard the order to attack the Kingdom of Lensa, they found it incredible.

Some nobles laughed on the spot, thinking that the new king was joking.

The noble was then killed by the vampire hiding in the palace.

After panic, turmoil, and resignation, the nobles had to accept the fact that the country had been controlled by vampires.

However, there are still some great nobles who would rather die than accept the orders of the vampires to send troops, and there are even entire families who resist to the end, so it is not all the troops of the Coral Principality that are attacking the Kingdom of Lensa now.

Some of the lower-class knights resisted, while others were deceived by the great nobles or vampires, saying that there were actually other countries fighting alongside them and they only needed to be responsible for one route.

This made a lot of sense, and many knights believed that this was the case. Their small principality was participating in part of a major battle. On the front, other kingdoms were attacking the Kingdom of Lensa. As for those knights who noticed something was wrong, they all died at the hands of vampires.

This cannot be concealed for too long, and this army is doomed to have no future.

But apart from these soldiers and knights, no one cared about the future of this army, which was destined to be consumables.

There aren't even many vampires in this army, and the vampires in this army are ready to retreat at any time.

The Blue King’s real plan is not this.

He formed an elite force, including vampires and humans. When the Kingdom of Lensa was attracted by the Coral Principality, this elite force would launch a thundering attack on the royal city and pull out the disgusting Count Dandelion.

The Azure King himself was also prepared to make a move and expose himself.

The plan must not fail!

Grand Prince Vladimir's cooperation with him must bear fruit.

How could such a great being like him stop his life at this moment! When the time is right, he will gain the power of a vampire and extend his life.

As for what will happen to this world, will I become the enemy of mankind...

He couldn't care less.

As for whether mortals are dead or alive, it doesn’t matter.

Just a bunch of pigs.

It’s just that Grand Prince Vladimir seems to have fallen into a deep sleep again, and it’s been difficult to contact him recently.

…

Grand Duke Vladimir certainly did not fall into a deep sleep. It took Grand Duke Vladimir a lot of effort to confirm that it was not the Blue King who exposed his plan.

Was it just a pure coincidence that a group of mortals just made up a drama and it just happened to collide with his real plan?

But recently, Grand Prince Vladimir has come to understand the situation.

The Azure King cherishes his reputation and is unwilling to expose the fact that he actually doesn't care about being a human at all.

This has resulted in many plans progressing very slowly.

What a joke.

It's like the Azure King doesn't care what the humans of this world will suffer because of the "Plan".

Grand Duke Vladimir didn't care about the reputation of the Blue King at all.

He decided to add fuel to the fire.

Help this powerful "king", the Bright Morning Star, the Blue King, to get one step closer to the goal.

The method is very simple.

Since the Blue King took away the army of the Coral Principality, he could just use the ordinary people of this country.

The power of Purgatory will be a help.
