Monarch of Evernight: Civilians and War in 194

bsp;For the first time, Qianye looked at the life of the vampires in the upper continent from a daily perspective, and found that it was a little different from the previous impression that all the dark races were soldiers.

The vampires in front of them may be living in a relatively peaceful environment on their home continent, with obvious distinctions between civilians and warriors.

In this ancient castle, although the vampires all have the power of blood, judging from their clothing and actions, most of them are not well-trained warriors, but seem to have special skills such as management, Among people with responsibilities such as craftsmen and designers, real warriors may only account for one-tenth of the total population.

In the empire itself, a territory that has been at peace for a long time, humans with this status are real civilians, and most of them have not awakened to the Dawn Force. Within the empire, even if there were occasional frictions over the use of force, they would not deliberately harm civilians.

However, in the territory that the two camps compete for, there are no real civilians. In the border land, the dark races that can gain a foothold are all in a state of settlement by clans and tribes. Due to the natural racial advantages, everyone has the dark force, and everyone is a soldier. When the camps go to war, who will care about the differences between the old, the weak, women and children.

So this was the first time Qianye actually saw civilians from the Vampire Tribe. When they saw Qianye, no matter what they were doing, they would immediately put down what they were doing and kneel down to salute. There was admiration in their eyes, but more of fear.

Among the vampire corpses gathered up in the square, there were soldiers and more civilians. According to the authorization stated by the Demon Marquis, if Qianye and Ye Tong hadn't suddenly arrived, and if he hadn't restrained his deputies, all the vampires in the castle would have been killed.

As for those slaves and lower races, they may survive. After all, in the eyes of the superiors, their attributes are not enemies, but property.

Qianye felt vaguely uncomfortable. Even if he was a vampire, the mass killing of civilians still made him feel heavy. Life and death on the battlefield is another matter. It is a battle, not a massacre, nor the annihilation of families or even clans.

Qianye's heart moved, and when he looked back, Ye Tong appeared behind him.

"Has everything been dealt with?" Qianye asked.

"Yes."

"What about these?" Qianye pointed at the vampire civilians in front of him.

"They can only stay."

"Is there no other way? Can't they go to the place you just mentioned?"

"That is a secret refuge of the Vampire Clan. This kind of place is prepared to be used when the entire race is in crisis. There are not many supplies stored there, and the journey is very long. Only with sufficient strength can it be possible to escape from the follow-up Chase and rush to the shelter. If it were them... I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to get there in a month."

Qianye looked around and said: "There is no news about this demonic force. It won't be long before they find something unusual. Should we stay and kill the reinforcements they came to check?"

Yeye Tong hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Although the team is led by the demon-born Jesus, the troops under his command are indeed troops directly under the parliament. Before the whole matter is understood, it is best not to If we attack the troops directly under the parliament, what happened here can still be explained as a misunderstanding, but if we also destroy the reinforcements, it cannot be explained."

Although Ye Tong said it tactfully, Qianye could understand what she meant.

Within the dark race, class and class oppression is much more severe than that of the empire. With Ye Tong's identity and rank, it was completely "explainable" to kill a marquis and his team from a famous demon family at the scene of the burning of the vampires. But it would be unjustifiable to kill the second team. It was obviously an action against the parliament.

She paused and then said: "The current commander-in-chief of the troops directly under the parliament is Lothar, the spider demon warlord. He is very young, but very tough and very difficult to deal with. At this time, I don't want to say anything more An enemy like the Spider Demon."

Qianye sighed. It was foreseeable that when the follow-up troops of the parliament arrived, the fate of the vampire civilians still in the castle would not be good, so he said: "Then don't let them stay, let them escape, run as far as they can." Far away."

"Okay." Ye Tong also felt that this was the only way.

"What do we do next?"

Yeye Tong said: "I plan to go to the nearest family territory belonging to the Paz clan. Only there can I contact Lilith, or at least contact Metanzo. The daily affairs of the blood clan now are between him and Ha Booth is handling it, and he is the main one."

"Guangguang King... I don't have a good impression of him. When you were still in the neutral ground, he thought about arresting you."

"That's because he doesn't know my identity. Medanzo has been trapped in this stage for a long time. He wants to make up for the weaknesses in the bloodline talent, so he has been secretly collecting the source blood of each talent. At that time, I Showing different talents from other native species, it is normal for him to want my source blood. But now, even if I put my source blood in front of him, I understand that he has to think carefully about whether he can afford the price. ."

Qianye frowned slightly and said: "He is a prince after all. If there is a head-on conflict, I will probably not be his opponent."

Yeye Tong was a little surprised, "Why is there a head-on conflict?"

"All in all, it's better to be careful with him. I feel a little bad."

"It doesn't matter, finding him is just the first step. He can't afford this. Lilith must know about it."

Qianye thought for a while and couldn't make any better suggestions for the internal affairs of the Vampire Clan, so the two of them ordered the Vampire Clan civilians in the castle to flee in all directions, then left the castle and disappeared into the night.

Avi Castle is located on the edge of the inland area of ​​the Twilight Continent. It was built by Duke Lynch nine hundred years ago and has a relatively short history. Nine hundred years later, the owner of Awei Castle has been replaced by the powerful Marquis Xiao Lynch. The old Duke was said to have been in a deep sleep, but no one knew whether he would ever wake up again.

It is in the evening, the sunset is like fire, and the moon is in the sky. It is the most beautiful time of the day. Little Marquis Lynch was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding an ancient book and reading. Occasionally, he picked up the gorgeous gold cup next to him, took a sip of fine blood wine, and then turned to look at the magnificent scenery outside the window.

Every time he saw this scene of prosperity about to wither, he would feel an inexplicable sadness and chill in his heart. This is the Marquis's favorite mood, and only in this mood can he write satisfactory poems.

But this time, when he looked out the window, he was shocked to find two figures appearing outside the French window. There was only a window between the two sides, but the Marquis did not notice how they appeared at all. The defense of the castle The device was not disturbed at all.

Yeye Tong lifted his hood and said, "Aren't you going to let us in?"

The Marquis shuddered, stood up hurriedly, opened the floor-to-ceiling window, then put his hand on his chest, bowed deeply, and said: "Forgive me, I never thought that you would come to this small Ah. Vigo Castle."

Yetong walked in and sat down in the chair where the Marquis originally sat, while Qianye stood beside her without showing his face.

Marquis Lynch closed the window to isolate himself from the cold wind in the mountains, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, what are your orders here? Do you need me to arrange a grand welcome dinner? Time is a little tight now, a few local dishes that need to be heated We may not be able to prepare the famous dishes in time, so please forgive me.”

Yeyetong said: "There is no need for a welcome dinner, and I don't want others to know that I have been here. It's very peaceful here. Haven't the demons and parliamentary troops been here?"

Little Marquis Lynch opened his eyes wide and said: "How come the parliamentary troops are here? As for the demon descendants, this is Twilight. I don't think they have the courage to walk around at will in the depths of Twilight, right?"

Yeye Tong frowned slightly, "You haven't been here before?"

Little Lin Qi looked innocent, "Absolutely not. If you need, I can call in the warriors from the territory to confirm again. But as far as I know, in the past month, there has not been a strange demon. There are indeed demon descendants in the city below, but those families have opened workshops here for almost three hundred years."

Yeye Tong said slowly: "It's okay if you didn't come. I suggest you immediately strengthen the defense of the family castle, and contact the Paz clan to take refuge, or ask them to send troops to assist."

Little Lynch was startled, "This, this is a big deal! What happened, Your Majesty?"

"I suspect that the all-out war between us and the demons is about to begin."

"Total war!" Xiao Lynch exclaimed with some exaggeration, "How could this happen? Hasn't the Holy War stopped? Your Majesty, you are still the great lord who opened up the new world!"

"Do as I say." Ye Tong didn't want to explain, then stood up and said, "How is the old Duke's current condition? There should be a way to contact Her Majesty the Queen in Avi Castle. I need to use it."

Little Marquis Lynch's expression changed and he said: "Your Majesty, we do have facilities to communicate with Her Majesty the Queen, but even my father can't remember how many hundreds of years it has not been used. Moreover, you know , the activation of this facility must be controlled by my father. Although I am a pure blood of the Lynch family, I am not strong enough."

It is extremely easy to contact the Queen of the Night on the Twilight Continent, much easier than on other continents. But so-called easy, at least you have to be the Duke of the Pas clan. Every duke is an important figure in the clan. If they need to contact the Queen of the Night, it will be a big deal.

The queen's sleep cannot be disturbed easily. As the river of blood goes away, the time for the Queen of Night to wake up becomes less and less, and even the incarnation or projection no longer appears. In comparison, the Demon Emperor and Spider Queen were much more active. In this case, naturally not just anyone can disturb her. Apart from the second-generation ancestors, there are only the Dukes of the Paz clan.

Similarly, not every duke is qualified to build a family castle in the Twilight Continent, even if he is of the bloodline of Paz, the oldest clan of the blood clan.

Nighteye chose Avi Castle because it had facilities that could communicate with the Queen of Night’s Palace.

After hearing Ye Tong's request, Marquis Xiao Lynch looked a little unnatural, and finally said: "Your Majesty, please come with me."

As soon as Ye Tong moved, Qianye followed naturally. Marquis Xiao Lynch frowned and said, "Your Majesty, it may be inconvenient for your followers to get in and out of there."

"He is not my follower."

And Qianye also showed a little bit of blood, and the terrifying pressure instantly made Xiao Linqi's face pale, and he took a step back involuntarily. He looked shocked and horrified, looked at Ye Tong again, and finally did not dare to say anything, leading the two of them towards the underground of the castle.

The three of them walked through the long passage and passed six clear and hidden gates along the way. Finally, a heavy steel gate appeared in front of them. Looking at the location, this place is already in the middle of the mountain.

"This is where my father sleeps. The last time he woke up was thirty-five years ago." Xiao Lin said curiously.
