Monarch of Evernight: Fifty-Seven Before the Storm
bsp;The woman is quite pretty, but nothing more.
But when Brudo looked at her, his eyes were no longer cold, but slowly softened.
This time, Bludo's voice was very low: "I didn't think that far ahead. First of all, in the coming storm, the werewolf must survive."
The woman asked: "Why don't you go to the top of the mountains for help?"
"The tops of the mountains are gradually deviating from the path of their ancestors, and they are losing power. Only under the protection of the ancestors' spirits can the werewolves gain power! The power of explosion, destruction, and bloodthirsty!"
Brudo's roar echoed through the hall.
"Since the birth of werewolves in the darkness, the most powerful weapons are teeth and claws. This is our own power and is passed down from generation to generation. But the top of the mountains is trying to make werewolves wear armor and let us use it. Those flimsy force weapons! Don’t those old guys know that vampires and demons want werewolves to put on those cold things, even bridles? In their eyes, werewolves should only know about killing and bleeding! War beast! ”
The Werewolf Viscount waved his claws violently, leaving dark blue traces in the air.
When he calmed down a little, the woman said softly: "I don't understand this. But I feel that this storm will be very big, and many totems will collapse."
Each tribe has its own totem. Whenever a totem pole falls, it means that a tribe has died.
Brudo looked at the deep dusk outside the window with firm eyes and whispered: "Werewolf, will survive!"
On a mountain ridge in the distance, a dark brown spider demon had just reached the highest point. Under his feet, thousands of servant spiders were rolling forward and crawling into the distance. Teams of spider demon warriors walked among the servant spiders, and from time to time they would shoot out a ball of spider web out of boredom, sweeping away some creatures on the roadside that had no time to escape.
On both sides of the army, there were a few mixed troops of vampires and werewolves. Their treatment is obviously inferior, and they need to give the best path to the spider demons.
The dark brown spider demon suddenly became impatient and asked: "Hasn't there been any news about Bludo's mad dog yet?"
The spider demon guards on both sides looked at each other, obviously there was no good news to report.
At this time, a spider demon with a green body and extraordinarily long limbs appeared at the foot of the mountain, flying over. The rugged mountainous terrain is like flat ground under his eight five-meter-long jointed feet. This is the Swift Wind Spider Demon. Among the Spider Demons, they are known for their speed and are natural scouts and messengers.
It went straight to the top of the mountain and stopped in front of the dark brown spider demon. The humanoid upper body leaned forward and said: "Master Musk, I brought two pieces of bad news. Viscount Brudo did not send troops. He abandoned all the peripheral strongholds and gathered all the people and warriors near his castle. Our envoys went to see him, but they have been waiting all day and have not been able to see Lord Brudo. ”
The dark brown spider demon is Viscount Musk. Hearing this, he was shocked and said angrily: "What?! Bludo, this bastard!"
If Brudo does not send troops, then his army will be alone. The human army could easily swallow Thomas, and so could he.
Musk calmed down and asked: "What is the second news?"
The Swift Wind Spider Demon said: "I just reported from the reconnaissance outpost that the human army has arrived at Black Ridge and has set up a position there."
"Black Ridge?" Musk's expression suddenly changed, and his two hind legs even shook.
The occupation of Black Ridge meant that Musk's communication with the earl territory was cut off. Now even if he wanted to join Stuka's army, he couldn't.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
Musk walked around the mountain ridge for more than ten times before making up his mind and shouted: "Turn around and return to Fort Legar!"
Fort Le Gar is a fortress on the edge of Musk's territory. Although it is not large, it has some defensive capabilities. Musk planned to retreat there to see the movements of the human army.
The number of this human army is very unfamiliar, and it appeared too suddenly. It is not clear at all now whether their purpose of invading the dark territory is to occupy the land or just to plunder resources.
Both are Nerubian castles, but Count Stuka's castle is much more majestic, and its scale is several times that of Musk's. At this moment, Count Stuka was standing in his study room, flipping through a thick ancient book.
Stuka looks like a tall, thin old man with meticulously combed gray hair. He wears a gold-rimmed monocle over his eyes. At the end of a black metal mirror chain, there is a black gem the size of a thumb hanging.
It can be seen that the count pays great attention to grooming and strives for perfection in every detail. This is no less than the vampires who always care about appearance the most. However, faint spots can still be seen on his skin.
Those are age spots that appear when life is about to come to an end. In fact, they are signs of the dark force in the body gradually getting out of control and slowly overflowing, causing indelible erosion of the skin. Even though Stuka had applied a lot of powder, it was still difficult to suppress the deep color.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the study door.
Annoyance flashed across Stuka's face, and then he said: "Come in." He still didn't take his eyes off the page.
A vampire came in. He looked middle-aged, handsome and elegant, and was Stuka's right-hand man. Even many of the Earl's clansmen didn't understand why he would keep a vampire by his side and still give him such trust.
"Your Excellency, you have the latest military information about human invaders, so I take the liberty to disturb you."
Stuka asked without looking up: "Oh, where are they?"
"Black Ridge."
"Have you figured out what they came for?"
"Not yet."
The count still did not raise his head and said casually: "Then wait and see what they want to do. Deschamps, come and take a look. There is a legend about the Seven Sacred Artifacts here. It is very interesting. Blood fountain can bring eternal youth'"
Deschamps did not read the book in the count's hand, but said anxiously: "Your Excellency, if you don't take action, then the viscounts on the east side of your territory will all be wiped out by humans!"
The Earl finally raised his eyelids and looked at the vampire man in front of him. Until his bright eyes forced him to lower his head, he slowly said: "It's nothing to wipe out, just rebuild. If you lose a few viscounts, then Just look for someone to replace you, there are always people who are desperate for their lives. Besides, we are about to reach a critical moment, and my army must not move. If something goes wrong with me, you know what it means. ”
Deshang lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Stuka carefully folded the pages in his hand and put them on the table. He stood up and walked around the room a few times. Finally, he stopped in front of Deschamps and said, "You are also a member of the Holy Blood. You should Knowing where this storm originated, how can I care about what a few ant-like humans are doing when it’s time to choose a camp?”
Stuka sighed, reached out and patted Deschamps on the shoulder, asking: "Can you give me any advice?"
Deschamps said calmly: "My advice is still the same as before, the oldest is the most powerful."
Stuka laughed, but did not continue on this topic. After a moment, he said: "I will give you a thousand soldiers and authorize you to mobilize the surrounding viscount troops. This is what I can give you Everything, go ahead, Deschamps, don’t let me down.”
"Yes, Your Majesty the Earl." Deschamps was as respectful and calm as ever, without any joy or panic at suddenly having power.
Stuka sighed and said slowly: "This is a storm. If we can survive it, the sea and the sky will be brighter. If we can't survive it, then we will all die."
Deshang looked serious and slowly exited the study. Before leaving, he habitually wanted to look out the window to see the moonlight tonight, but when he glanced over, he didn't see any windows.
The count dressed himself from head to toe like a high-ranking vampire, but at heart he was a spider demon. This study room was built in a luxurious and retro style, but it was still buried deep underground.
The Black Ridge at this moment was already brightly lit. Qianye stood on the top of the mountain and watched the forts being built one after another, the trenches being dug out, and the heavy artillery being carried up to the top of the mountain by more than ten soldiers.
The position is about to take shape, and Qianye feels a lot more at ease. Occupying the Black Ridge separated the earldom from the three viscounts in the northeast. It could be said that half of the goal of the Western Expedition was accomplished.
Zhao Yuying stood next to Qianye and said: "You kid is lucky. It seems that the old spider is either entangled in something or is really old and confused. He actually let you in. Now that we are in But I won’t go out so easily.”
Qianye shook his head and said: "We only eliminated one viscount, and Count Stuka's main force was not damaged at all. This battle has just begun."
"What are you going to do now?"
Qianye has actually been thinking about this issue, "First of all, we must draw out Stuka's main force for a decisive battle. If we don't beat him to death, the territory we occupy will not be stable."
"But that old spider looks like it's about to shrink to the bottom."
Qianye had made up his mind at this moment and said: "If he thinks we are here to plunder, he will not be able to sit so peacefully."
"Oh, what about the target?"
“The mine, the most important thing in this territory is the mine.”
"General destruction is of no use!"
Qianye said calmly: "Burn it on fire."
Zhao Yuying whistled and said frivolously: "That's cruel! That's how you look like a man! Otherwise you were so beautiful and spoke so softly, I always thought Xiaosi had found a sister. ”
Qianye held his breath in his chest and cursed secretly, is it possible that all girls are like you? But after getting along with each other these days, he knew that there would be no advantage in bickering with Zhao Yuying, and there would be no benefit in tampering with Zhao Yuying.
Ignoring her at the moment, Qianye summoned An Huo's officers to discuss military matters.
The territory of Earl Stuka is famous for being rich in black stone. The black stone mine is different from other mineral veins. Even if the raw ore itself is not purified, it can burn for a long time. If there is a special igniting agent to ignite the associated black crystals, then again No amount of water or sand can extinguish the fire.
Therefore, igniting a black stone mine is a very destructive method. A fire may burn for several months. When the fire goes out, not only will the entire mine be basically abandoned, but even the surrounding areas affected will be affected for a long time. It will become a wasteland.
The black stone mine is the lifeblood of this area. Only with the idea of grabbing a handful and leaving will the black stone mine be burned. And Qianye planned to use the mine as a bargaining chip to force the main force of Stuka to fight.
PS: I was gang-banged by the alliance leaders last night and got drunk three times in one night, so the updated chapters will be posted tomorrow.
