At this moment, the nobles in the room stared intently at the two sudden beams of bright orange light, feeling a sense of confusion and astonishment.
That's... a tiger-man?
Then, all they could see was the bodies of the dozen or so vampires shattering into countless fragments in the blinding cold light.
This left the nobles, who had just escaped the encirclement, feeling a deep sense of disbelief.
But the next second, in the distance of the courtyard, they heard all sorts of animal roars.
Dull, robust, or sharp.
The nobles instinctively raised their heads and looked in the direction from which the sound was coming.
Finally, they saw it.
That was a massive army of knights.
Clad in cold iron armor, wielding weapons, and riding warhorses, they were galloping towards the courtyard.
However, this legion of knights is not only composed of knights.
Countless demi-humans, clad in beast-faced armor, followed closely behind their warhorses with their agile bodies and strong legs.
The eagle-men in the sky also flapped their wings, vibrating the space and stirring up the wind.
Behind them are countless special demi-humans.
Cows, leopards, foxes, deer, and so on.
Various unique demi-humans formed a long, orderly procession and charged toward the mansion.
However, no one noticed.
In their eyes, there flowed wisps of barely perceptible black energy.
Aurelion, standing in the courtyard, looked up, a gleam in her eyes, and exclaimed joyfully:
"Gwen-sensei!?"
With her voice, all the nobles focused their attention on the center of that demi-human group.
There, a female warrior clad in beast-faced armor rode majestically on her warhorse, holding a longsword engulfed in flames.
Under the crimson moonlight, Gwen resembled a blood-stained knight of cold iron, majestic and aloof.
She didn't speak, but simply raised her flaming longsword, pointing it towards the group of vampires.
Like a ruthless, icy killer, proclaiming the final verdict.
In that instant, countless demi-humans seemed to be filled with fighting spirit, charging towards the courtyard in unison.
A cloud of dust and gravel rose up behind the procession, obscuring the sky.
Enraged to the extreme, the powerful man panted heavily and roared at the sky, charging towards the courtyard like dozens of siege chariots.
Its robust body was incredibly solid, smashing through all obstacles in the road, even breaking through the towering walls of the territory.
The towering trees were snapped in half, and a narrow path was trampled into the ground.
They charged straight into the vampires' encirclement, smashing the vampires' bodies to pieces, leaving limbs scattered everywhere.
The eagle-men in the sky flapped their wings, tearing apart all the vampires flying overhead. They used their sharp claws to grab the vampires that had been overturned by the whirlwind and ripped them to pieces one by one.
The agile leopard-men transformed into several afterimages, following behind the bull-men.
Like a meat grinder, it swiftly traversed the earth, slicing and harvesting countless vampires.
The horsemen followed closely behind the bullman, kicking up dust as they charged toward the mansion.
At this moment, countless demi-humans and knights resembled an iron-blooded army.
The scene before them left all the noble lords present speechless.
They stood frozen in place, their eyes wide with astonishment as they stared at the approaching, menacing army.
The twelve foreign ministers, upon seeing the familiar figure of the knight, exclaimed in surprise:
"It's the Imperial Knights!"
"And the demi-human army of the Clementine family!"
In that instant, a powerful sense of security instantly filled the hearts of the foreign ministers.
Finally, their aid arrived!
However, the noble lords only felt complicated and flustered.
Because they noticed it.
This group of demi-humans that suddenly appeared were not entirely Viktor's group of demi-human guards.
These powerful and rare demi-humans felt especially familiar to them.
Because these are the very demi-people who breached the royal city just a few days ago.
The moment they saw the two tiger-men appear, they realized what was going on.
But why are they following behind those knightly orders?
Have they already been recruited by Victor?
August, lying on the ground restrained by the tiger-men, stared wide-eyed at the approaching group of demi-humans.
Those vampires are relatively easy to deal with, since they have the advantage in numbers.
However, when the group of demi-humans and knights appeared, the vampires' numerical advantage vanished.
They raided the enemy camp at night as if it were deserted.
Auguste watched helplessly as all of this unfolded, completely powerless to stop it.
He could only glare fiercely at Viktor.
His eyes were filled with resentment and hatred.
At that moment, August suddenly realized.
The sudden appearance of this army was certainly not a coincidence.
The only possibility is…
Those demi-humans had long been lying in ambush near the mansion, waiting for this opportunity to arrive.
The knight leading the group was none other than Victor's fiancée.
Viktor seemed to have seen through his plan; every step was meticulously calculated, or rather, he had already laid everything out.
He was just waiting for the right moment to completely disrupt his plans.
In August's mind, he never considered Victor as a destabilizing factor capable of interfering with his plans.
Because Viktor could never possibly know his plans.
