Monarch of Evernight: Escape Plan 207
bsp;The war on the Western Continent has entered its most critical moment, while the ancient castle on the Twilight Continent is experiencing a rare moment of calm. Although he still didn't know the overall scale of this attack, Qianye still had a rough judgment on the situation based on the fragmentary information obtained from this day and night.
The deployment of the demons was obviously based on the idea of a quick victory, commanding the parliamentary troops to attack targets on the Twilight Continent almost simultaneously. The targets are mostly family castles above marquis, key castles of twelve ancient clans, and clan castles with big figures like Dark Gospel Howard.
The number of troops required is not a small number. Even if there are some betrayers acting as internal agents, enough strong men are still needed to suppress the situation. Presumably, the demon descendants would not be willing to turn a surprise attack into a tug-of-war in the vampire's base camp.
But if this happens, Qianye and the others will soon face great pressure. Previously, they had traveled from the Caton Clan territory to the Movi Clan territory without running into the Dark Lord and the Parliament's backup troops. This was due to the time difference.
As time goes by, the news that Qianye and Ye Tong appeared in the twilight and disrupted many parliamentary operations must have spread back. Qianye also has the Black Book that the parliament is looking for. If his whereabouts are discovered, , will definitely attract siege.
Qianye and Yetong are both confident of escaping, but if they want to take the blood clan members with them, it is absolutely impossible.
Besides, Howard found a twilight map in Eivar's study and hung it on the wall. Together with Nighteye, he marked all the attacked territories he saw along the way.
After making the mark, Howard's face suddenly became a little ugly. From the moment Nighteye met the parliamentary troops to now, he has run through almost half of the Twilight Continent, and almost half of the vampire castles along the way have been attacked. Most were destroyed, and an unknown number of those who survived surrendered like Ivar.
What they have seen is like this, and it is not much different from places they have never been to. The worst thing is the composition of the parliamentary alliance. Judging from the positions occupied by the spider demons and werewolves, their upper management must have reached an agreement with the demon descendants. It was easy for the werewolf to understand. The Spider Queen had always only focused on the descendants of her own race, so how could she get involved so deeply?
Seeing the situation collapse to this point, Howard could only sigh and said: "I didn't expect that the demon would strike so quickly and so cruelly! Many old guys who are still sleeping may never wake up again."
Twilight is originally the base camp of the Blood Clan, and most of the core families of the clan are here. Some strong men who have reached the edge of life will choose to sleep in the territory of twilight.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are more or less sleeping strong men in every castle. In normal times, the active left-behind strongmen in the family castle are basically marquis-level figures, and there will be dukes in the clan castle. These forces can no longer be considered weak, but they are completely unable to withstand the targeted elite assault of the parliament.
These sleeping strong men are the real loss of the Vampire Clan. If they can fully awaken, they will be a very powerful force. However, the Demon King took advantage of the opportunity of the New World War to massively mobilize the council's troops, and with Metanzo as an internal agent, he hid it from everyone. I am afraid that the demons will not give these sleeping strong men a chance to wake up.
Even if it was Dark Gospel, if Qianye and Ye Tong hadn't arrived in time and severely injured the Lord of Masefield in a sneak attack, he would have fallen. Although he has saved his life now, the incomplete awakening has also severely damaged Howard's vitality, and he is in danger of falling down the rank.
Qianye also walked over and looked at the map, and suddenly frowned and said: "I'm afraid most of the secret realms of the Vampire Clan have been exposed, right?"
"It's very possible." Howard looked worried. At least Metanzo knew the location of most public secrets. Although the private secrets of clans and families did not need to be reported, it would be difficult to protect them if there were high-level traitors. In other words, these secret realms are no longer safe.
"Withdraw from Twilight." Qianye said suddenly.
"What?" Howard and Nighteye were both shocked and confused.
For the vampires, Twilight is not only a place of residence, but also a totem and belief. Every clan is proud to own a territory in Twilight and build an ancient castle. Now Qianye suddenly said that he wanted to withdraw from Twilight?
Qianye said: "I'm afraid all the secret realms on Twilight are no longer secrets, even those mastered by princes and monarchs. In addition, there are not many vampires we can save, and nearly half of our enemies and friends are unknown. , there should be many people like Van Trier who have surrendered, but even if there are not many, there are tens of thousands of direct descendants of each clan and family in these castles, no matter where we put them. , are all big goals.”
Howard nodded, thoughtfully.
"The Twilight Continent is located in the core of the middle layer and is the hub connecting all continents. However, because of this, it is not suitable for defense. The demons have extremely strong mobility and assault capabilities, and they can mobilize an army at any time, even if They no longer use parliamentary forces, and we can't stop them at Twilight."
Even Nighteye nodded this time. Qianye has fought with the demons for so many years, and he knows the characteristics and tactics of the demons very well.
If this war is launched openly and openly, in the Twilight Continent, the vampires will have the confidence to fight even if they face the parliamentary coalition. But now that Metanzo is on Twilight, all kinds of back-up tactics cannot be used by them.
"The weakness of the demons is also obvious, that is, they have insufficient population, so they pursue a policy of elite soldiers. The equipment, support and training of each warrior, each battleship and even each strongman are higher than those of other races. The result is that while gaining super combat power, the cost and time of building an army is far more than that of other races. The loss of the same number of people is more difficult for the demons to bear, and the replacement of the lost troops is also more difficult. Difficult. All in all, demons are not good at fighting for a long time and are not good at attrition."
Back in the Black Sun Valley, most of Song Zining's tactics were aimed at the demon descendants. If there were no werewolves at that time, half of the high-quality cannon fodder would be missing. The brutal battle and exhaustion made the entire Yongye camp miserable. Qianye mentioned this point again at this moment, and he had clearly identified the demon's weakness.
"But I'm afraid we can't afford it now if we work hard." Howard said. The vampires Qianye and Ye Tong now have together are only the size of an ancient clan, and they have to be the bottom clan like Caton. Some of them have no warrior experience.
"Of course it's not possible to fight on a large scale, so we need to find a place where we can use the terrain to kill the demons with a small number of troops. We will fight an offensive and defensive battle with the demons there."
"There is such a place, but what about in the air?"
"I have the Hall of Valor, which can block the airspace."
Howard stretched his eyebrows and said: "It would be easy to prevent their floating ships from getting through. There is such a suitable place on the Xiri Continent."
"Xiri? Isn't that the upper continent?" Ye Tong frowned.
"That's right. In the early years, I explored the upper continent and accidentally discovered a void route that connected an area similar to a semi-secret realm. Although the environment is harsh, the surrounding mountains block the scorching wind, so I can still survive. I originally planned to hand over that area when I was nearing the end of my life to exchange for some resources for my descendants, but I didn’t expect that it would come in handy now.”
"Is the void route stable?" Qianye asked.
"Stable means that it is complex and tortuous, and cannot be driven at high speed, but it is just suitable for our current situation."
Qianye pondered for a moment and then said: "In this case, we can build a refuge on Xiri, suitable for the direct descendants of each clan to live in. The remaining ordinary clansmen, as well as some affiliated races, can go there Yonglu. My territory in Yonglu treats all races equally. If possible, I think we should talk to William to at least know the attitude of the werewolves. Attitude. I have always been curious about the reason why the demons were able to initiate this joint parliamentary action. If the vampires were defeated, why did the spider demon and the werewolf think that they would not be the next targets? I think that at least the top of the peaks should think about it carefully. ."
"That's it, let's rescue people first and then arrange transportation." Howard said.
"What about the Paz clan?" Qianye asked. This question made both Nighteye and Howard frown and have headaches.
Nighteye nodded to Howard and asked him to explain. Howard said: "Paz is a blood descendant of Her Majesty the Queen, which is very special. When Her Majesty the Queen is asleep, the internal affairs of the clan are managed by the active monarch or the crowned prince. I have also managed it for decades."
Qianye was very surprised: "This system is quite interesting. Isn't Paz afraid of outsiders interfering in internal affairs?"
Howard said: "It's said to be custody, but actually it's protection. I won't say anything about the real internal affairs of the Paz clan. Instead, I will provide some resources when they need it. After all, Her Majesty the Queen is still here. , who dares to really take advantage of her blood descendants?"
Qianye finally realized that taking charge of the Paz clan was not a good job. If you don’t contribute money and effort, you still can’t manage things.
"Medanzo should be in charge now. After all, Renault woke up not long ago, and he was not in his normal activity period. What we don't know now is how far Medanzo has intervened, and we don't know how far Paz has intervened. Will anyone in the clan betray you?"
Qianye nodded, "I understand, so Twilight can't stay any longer."
"Okay, let's split up next. Although I am no longer useful as an old guy, I can still protect myself. After I finish saving several other families, I will wait for you at the appointed place."
"That's fine." Qianye nodded.
Dark Gospel is a crowned prince after all. Even if the mark is dim now, he is not something the Grand Duke can defeat. If he acts alone, as long as he doesn't encounter a great king like the Lord of Macefield again, he won't be in much danger.
Qianye and Ye Tong naturally acted together. The two of them and Howard divided their respective areas, then left the castle and continued to search and rescue the vampires. At the same time, it was also agreed that the search and rescue would only last three days. Once the time was up, they would meet at the predetermined secret place and begin to transfer the blood clan members and withdraw from the Twilight Continent.
After Qianye left, Van Trier basically completed the work of reorganizing the prisoners and looting the castle. Perhaps out of a desire to compensate for his losses, he almost scratched the surface, even not letting go of some of the funerary objects that Aivar had prepared for himself during his lifetime. Some of the murals and sculptures were cut up and packed away.
When he left, the castle was like locusts passing by, no grass growing.
When Van Trier left, deep in the castle, in the already messy spare blood pool room, the lid of a sleeping coffin piled randomly in the corner was pushed open, and a Vampire Viscount crawled out from inside.
This sleeping coffin is only a semi-finished product and has not yet been engraved with the force array. It is not a copper coffin, but an iron coffin. Therefore, it is not visible to Van Trier, and the viscount is able to hide it.
After he confirmed that the castle was empty, he left in a hurry.
