Chapter 498 Bloody Night Shining on Han Qing (1) (Seeking monthly votes, and more should be added today)

"There should be some situation in the Kingdom of Lunsa. The missionaries of my religion and the Novice Sect stationed in the capital of the Kingdom of Lunsa agree that the capital may be attacked by vampires and request further instructions." Olenna told Rand the outline of the letter.

Now that the situation was getting more serious, Rand no longer wandered around, but stayed in the Lord's Hall to receive information and issue orders.

Rand frowned, took the letter, and read its contents carefully.

Rand has deployed many intelligence nodes in the Kingdom of Lunsa, and there are many spies in the Kingdom of Lunsa, but it is still very difficult to obtain war intelligence from the upper level, and it also takes time to transmit it back.

The territories of Rand and Countess Snow Fox are adjacent to each other, but that does not mean that Rand is particularly close to the capital of the Kingdom of Lunsa.

After thinking for a while, Rand made a decision: "Retreat, at least don't stay in the royal city."

"Okay, I'll give the order right away." Olenna passed Rand's order to the messenger.

There would be losses if they withdrew. Rand supported Count Dandelion's special combat force and built churches for the goddess of harvest and health and the nascent sect of the Torch Church in the royal city of Lunsa.

All of this is to gain a foothold in the Royal City of Lensa so that they can respond or even carry out special operations when necessary.

After withdrawing, if we want to find an opportunity to re-enter the Royal City of Lensa, we don’t know how long we have to wait, and it will cost us a lot.

But Rand still believes that in the current situation, human life is more important.

Rand could call out the names of all those who went to the Royal City of the Kingdom of Lunsa to carry out missions. These outstanding believers and warriors were all trained by Rand with great difficulty. If they died in the Royal City of Lunsa, Rand would not be able to accept it.

After Olenna gave the messenger a message, she said to Rand, "It seems there is not much we can do next."

Rand grinned. "Yes, we cannot send troops to help the Kingdom of Rensa solve its problems, and we have no evidence to expose the evil of the Azure King now."

"But?" Olenna knew what Rand was going to say next.

"But the role of Earl Dandelion as a shield has to start to work." Rand said coldly, "I am not a philanthropist. I have helped him a lot. Now it's his turn to help me."

Rand has done a lot to oppose vampires.

For example, he mobilized political forces in the Frost Moon Kingdom, and vigorously promoted the dangers of vampires and wrote "Scarlet Night" for this purpose.

Rand also invested heavily in the newly improved photo-taking crystal, regardless of the cost, and vigorously mobilized the power of the people.

On an international level, Rand also supports the Kingdom of Rensa and calls on all mankind to take the threat of vampires seriously.

Rand has done so much, with significant results.

Vampires hiding in various places were found and eliminated.

Both the Frost Moon Kingdom and the Rensa Kingdom take vampires seriously, and the Southern Kingdom and the Northern Union have also begun to initiate anti-vampire legislation.

Most of the common people, adventurers, and wandering knights heard about the bounty of the ultimate commission and began to pay attention to matters related to vampires.

Many adventurers also set out with the goal of defeating vampires.

With the appearance of vampires among the nobles in the Senate of the Kingdom of Lensa, humans' attention and hostility towards vampires are gradually increasing.

but!

It's not enough.

If it were just vampire enemies from the main world, it wouldn't take long to solve the threat posed by vampires.

But Rand knew very well that behind him were the Blue King and Grand Duke Vladimir.

This is not something that can be solved by one country alone.

It requires the attention of all mankind.

The Kingdom of Rensa and the Kingdom of Frost Moon have taken it seriously and made preparations, but other countries are not yet enough.

But if it is really as the missionary Ranta in the royal city of the Kingdom of Lensa judged, the attack of the Coral Principality was just a feint, and was actually a cover for the attack of vampires or even something else.

If something really happened to the capital of the Kingdom of Lunsa, or even if it was breached, then it would be in Rand's interest.

As for whether Count Dandelion will suffer any consequences as a result, and whether the nobles in the royal city of the Kingdom of Lunsa will suffer heavy casualties.

None of these were considered by Rand.

Rand must put its own interests first.

Now, Count Dandelion's repeated thwarting of vampire plots should be conspicuous enough in the eyes of Grand Duke Vladimir or the Blue King.

If this shield is really consumed, the one who will have to face these two will be Rand.

Hope it's more durable.

Anyway, Rand would never let Grand Duke Vladimir's sacrifice to the gods succeed.

Rand had already fallen out with Grand Duke Vladimir in the North. If Grand Duke Vladimir's sacrifice was successful, then the first person to suffer should be the White King, and the second one would be Rand.

As for the Azure King...

At least Rand has Lady Karin on his side. If Rand needs it, Lady Borlan, the White King, can also leave the White Kingdom temporarily and come to help.

Although the White King did not understand Ellie's hint, as Rand's brother-in-law, he still had a good relationship with the Nicholas family.

"What's the next job?" Rand asked.

"The winter after the autumn harvest is the time for the Labor Law to take effect. Some nobles in the country want to discuss the specific arrangements of the law with you."

"Let them in." Rand said, sitting on the giant lord's chair.

Soon, several small and medium-sized nobles nearby entered the lord's hall.

Generally speaking, this kind of work should be done by the messenger.

A long time ago, Fenris did a similar job.

It's impossible to let Karin, the Saint, handle all the affairs of the Torch Church in person, right?

The same is true for nobles.

However, these small and medium-sized nobles rarely have the opportunity to meet Duke Rand of the Moon Phase, so they will not miss this opportunity to show their faces and get to know each other.

In short, it means fawning.

But isn't it reasonable to curry favor with Rand? He is the Hand of the King and the only Grand Duke of the Frost Moon Kingdom.

Although the feudal nobles in this era were the local tyrants in their own territories, and the Frost Moon Kingdom would not allow domestic nobles to fight each other, Rand could still decide the fate of nearby nobles with a wave of his hand.

…

The Royal City of Lunsa.

Ranta received an expedited letter.

After reading the letter, Ranta asked his partner to help burn it.

The missionary of the Firstborn lit a fire, and the letter turned to ashes: "What do you say?"

Ranta said seriously, "Lord Rand has ordered that all work be abandoned immediately, and all staff still stranded in the royal city be notified to evacuate the royal city with them."

"What's the route?"

"Try to retreat to the Frost Moon Kingdom. If you don't have time, you can go to any countryside. In any case, don't stay in the royal city."

"Then let's take action now." The newborn missionary nodded after hearing this.

Although strictly speaking, the Torch Church's Nascent Sect only cooperates with the Mother Goddess Sect.

But in fact, Rand already has a teaching position in the First Born sect, so he is also qualified to give orders to the First Born missionaries.

In fact, even if there is no such thing, it is only necessary for the newborn missionaries to fill in a document later. These newborn missionaries who come out to work all agree with Rand's ideas and will not stubbornly refuse Rand's orders.

The special operations forces and other staff in the Kingdom of Lensa were ready to retreat.

After receiving the order, everyone quickly left using the secret route that had been prepared long ago.

At this time, outside the city.

The Blue King's vampires and human warriors are quietly waiting for the arrival of night.

If all the forces of the Azure King are taken into account, there is a force somewhere between a principality and a kingdom.

However, the area around the Inland Sea is not the Blue King's base, and the number of military forces that can reach the vicinity of the Kingdom of Lensa is not too large.

If the Blue King does not take action, it will be very difficult for these people to attack the Royal City of Lensa head-on.

In fact, even if the Blue King took action, it would not be easy to capture the royal city if it was well prepared.

What if there is some old monster in the Kingdom of Lunsa?

No one can say for sure.

If the king could easily destroy a kingdom's capital, the world would not have its current political landscape.

The Blue King also has similar concerns. The probability of having an old monster is very small, but the probability of having some special trump cards is actually not low.

This special trump card certainly won't have the power to fight against the king, but it may be able to delay him for a while.

By then, many things will become more and more troublesome.

Therefore, the Blue King did not intend to expose himself at the beginning, but planned to strike with thunder when necessary.

The same goes for the legion under his command. This is their last strength. The success rate of a sneak attack at night is definitely much higher than a frontal attack.

"It's disgusting. Things have been going wrong recently." The Blue King crushed the bugs on the ground to death in annoyance.

It's already autumn, but there are still a lot of annoying bugs.

Under normal circumstances, the Blue King could electrocute all the insects to death, but now he still had to stay hidden as much as possible and not be exposed.

The sky gradually darkened.

Finally, the sun's rays no longer shine on this land.

It's raining.

The rain curtain floats in the sky.

The trees groaned too.

"Attack and catch the rat of Count Dandelion." The Blue King ordered.

The towering walls of the capital city of the Kingdom of Lunsa are relatively easy to cross.

I just don’t know how many troubles there are in the royal city.

And no one knows where the mouse, Count Dandelion, is.

…

In the royal city, the Dandelion Family has also taken action.

Count Dandelion is a smart man. He pays close attention to the movements of Duke Rand of the Moon who are stationed in the royal city.

Ranta and others' actions were very secretive, but they could not resist the old butler who came to keep an eye on them personally.

It wasn't long before I realized the place was deserted.

The old butler went back immediately to report.

Count Dandelion did not hesitate and immediately decided that the entire Dandelion family should flee.

The royal city of the Kingdom of Lensa is indeed a fortified city, with permanent troops stationed around it.

However, Earl Dandelion also knew very well that the royal city might not be breached or anything might happen.

But this doesn't mean that nothing will happen to his Dandelion family.

The Dandelion family is the main suspect of vampires.

But is it really a conspiracy of vampires? So what is happening now is that the Coral Principality is controlled by vampires and is attacking the border of the Kingdom of Lunsa to attract the attention of the Kingdom of Lunsa.

Then another vampire came to attack the royal city?

The people of the Dandelion Family immediately left the Royal City of Lensa.

And it was at this moment.

Night has arrived.

The royal city is as grand as ever under the night sky, with millions of lights shining through the windows in the upper city.

The torches in the watchtowers on the city walls flickered with uncertain lights. However, these flickering flames suddenly went out, as if they were strangled by an invisible hand.

In the unnoticed corner, the sound of the patrolling guards' iron boots stepping on the ground has disappeared.

The bodies were dragged into alleys frequented only by the poor and stray dogs.

Rainy nights are always a good time to kill someone.

The rain washed away the blood.

Dark clouds will obscure the moonlight.

Thunder roared, and the sounds of footsteps and screams were all swallowed up by the roar of nature.

Stealthy figures sneak into houses, torture, and kill.

The oil lamps that were originally lit in the houses were extinguished.

Soon, this group of ghosts in the shadows arrived in front of the Dandelion family’s mansion.

But there was no one.

The mansion, which was usually brightly lit, was now in a strange silence. The gate was closed and there was no one inside the courtyard, as if the whole mansion had turned into an empty tomb.

"Run away." This is an easy conclusion to draw.

How did they get the information?

Nobody knows.

"We can't be exposed." With the thunder of the rainy night, the Blue King Rommel appeared in the shadows, "Search."

The Dandelion family's mansion was searched, and the people had just left not long ago, and some of the tea was even still warm.

"He can't run far, chase him." The Blue King Rommel disappeared into the night again.

But the vampire troops, which were not all vampires, ran into trouble.

The royal city of a kingdom naturally has many defensive measures.

The threat of supernatural powers in this world will naturally be taken into consideration.

Even though it was a rainy night and he didn't kill many people, he was still discovered.

More and more soldiers appeared in the rain.

In street fighting, the advantage of the strong will be greatly magnified.

But at the same time, the veterans' sneak attacks would be more covert and more deadly.

To use war terminology, the intensity will increase significantly.

The vampires pounced on the approaching army.

They had no intention of continuing the fight. Even if this number of vampires and humans were very powerful and had good coordination, it was impossible for them to destroy a royal city like this.

In this world, quantity matters.

Their goal was not to capture the royal city, but to hunt down the Dandelion family.

Fortunately, the night is the domain of vampires after all, and it is difficult for humans to see clearly on rainy nights. The rain will also make weapons slippery and difficult to grasp, and clothes will restrict movement.

The vampires broke through the siege.

Soon, the queen of the Kingdom of Lunsa also received the news.

It seems that Count Dandelion has some secrets, but the Queen doesn't care about it. Who among the nobles doesn't have their own secrets? Vampires are indeed the enemy of mankind, so Count Dandelion's affairs are completely within the Queen's tolerance.

"Coward." The queen tapped the throne with her knuckles, not sure whether she was talking about the vampire or Count Dandelion.

"Don't let the vampires run wild." The queen ordered.

This night was unusual.

But it is unlikely that some vampires will truly become rivals to the royal family.
