Dangdangdang——
Snap, snap, snap—
The bullets couldn't harm Yin Shang in the slightest. He weaved through the enemy ranks, and with each swing of his demonic blade, a mercenary would bleed and die instantly.
In no time, his armor was stained red with blood, and illuminated by the flickering firelight, he looked like a demon from hell.
【Extremely Wicked Judgment】...This is his blood energy.
But does this title mean severing "extreme evil," or severing "extreme evil" itself?
"Monster! Prepare to die!"
An artilleryman hiding in the shadows picked up his individual launcher and fired a rocket at Yin Shang.
call out--
"Tsk!"
Yin Shang, who was engaged in battle in the enemy ranks, had no time to dodge. Just as he was about to take the blow head-on, a golden light blocked his way.
"Drink!"
Bang! !
Protected by the barrier, the explosion did not harm Yin Entropy in the slightest. Solid appeared behind Yin Entropy, holding the holy sword.
"Leave the rest to me, Brother Yin!"
At this moment, she was also covered in a well-fitting suit of armor, which she had clearly summoned using the power of the holy sword. This armor also presented a completely different design from Yin Shang's previous "Wandering Armor," making her look incredibly heroic and dashing.
"Your human form isn't good at close combat. Are you sure you're okay?"
The knight smiled, and the golden barrier enveloping the two of them shone even brighter.
"If you lack power, you can make up for it with skill. I'm very good at holy spells!"
The darkness and holy light, coming into such close contact, did not produce the slightest repulsive reaction.
The two stood side by side, and amidst the astonished gazes of hundreds of mercenaries around them, they raised their weapons once more and assumed a fighting stance.
"Let's go!"
Chapter 230 Her Majesty the Overworked
Later, when scholars from all walks of life discussed the Battle of Eternal Night Castle, they all defined it as the beginning of a new era.
Because it made all of humanity realize one thing—if a full-scale war breaks out with vampires, vampires are fully capable of causing mutual destruction or even mutual annihilation.
The reason this academic argument holds true is because of their only queen—Lucevie.
The outcome of the scholars' debate about that battle was not in any suspense.
"With less than twenty top-tier vampire fighters, they were able to annihilate more than five thousand elite mercenaries gathered from all over the world. It wouldn't be surprising if the vampire queen said she could catch a nuclear bomb with her bare hands."
This is what the senior scholar, who was presiding over an academic conference, said before it ended sometime in the future.
...
Now, the outcome of the battle for the Eternal Night Castle is no longer in doubt for either side.
Once the battle began, both sides realized which side was truly weaker.
The elite warriors of the vampire clan had all successfully stopped the bombardment of all artillery positions.
Faced with human-made firearms, these men, long unaccustomed to battle, faced the mercenary group that surrounded them from all sides, prepared for a near-certain death. But the outcome of the battle was unexpected—
Humanity's firearms are ultimately used to fight against other humans; given the remarkable achievements of firearms in modern human history, both the vampires and humans have overestimated the power of firearms.
The supernatural powers of vampires can even influence the laws of the world, making the laws of conservation of energy and matter seem like a joke. Since the vampires emerged from the darkness, the scientific community has experienced a series of upheavals, but thanks to the mediation of various peaceful forces, the research on vampire powers by inquisitive scholars has only recently begun.
Reluctantly, they gave up.
The stagnation in research on vampires has led everyone to severely underestimate the potential of vampires.
Among the elite vampire warriors who went into battle were "old monsters" who had lived for thousands of years, high-ranking vampires who had been directly embraced by the vampire queen, and rare geniuses with extraordinary talents...
Their power was enough to sweep away thousands of unprepared human troops like a whirlwind.
At this moment, the bright moon hangs high in the sky.
The figures of high-ranking vampires were nowhere to be hidden, but now, there was no need to hide them anymore.
...
On the other side, Torre stood with his hands behind his back, surveying the pathetic group of humans in front of him who were so frightened they couldn't even hold their guns steady.
“I’m getting impatient. This farce…it’s time to end.”
On another battlefield, Alexei skillfully kicked a mercenary to the ground.
He snatched the weapon from his hand, swept across the trench at a speed beyond human capabilities, and poured bullets into the enemy's head with unparalleled precision.
"Even with just guns, you are no match for me."
In the next battlefield, Coco's scythe, like a deadly harvesting machine, turned the battlefield into a "rice field" that belonged only to her.
She completely overwhelmed these heavily armed mercenaries. With a clenched fist, she stopped all the bullets fired at her in mid-air, which then coalesced into a metal ball. With a kick, the ball flew back into the enemy's position and exploded like a fragmentation grenade.
"For Lulu's sake... you won't be allowed to take another step forward!"
Every vampire warrior on every battlefield was filled with fighting spirit because of their belief in protecting their homeland, but there was still a huge gap in numbers. Two fists cannot fight against a thousand hands, and the vampire warriors fought for a long time, but still could not break through their encirclement.
At this moment, someone appeared to break the deadlock.
A small figure summoned a jet-black spear, easily piercing a corner of the full moon barrier before slipping away.
"I want to do something too!"
"I can't just watch my older siblings fight. Even though I know Mom will scold me when I get back... but... but..."
"Lochina...you must protect Sister Lulu!"
The young vampire girl's body showed no signs of trembling.
She raised her own body and made a gesture as if to throw it forward.
"Lochina - God-Slaying Demon Spear!"
...
At a future conference, scholars described the canyon, which is tens of meters wide and stretches for several kilometers, in this way.
"Although we cannot know its speed because we did not witness it firsthand, judging from the fact that nothing grew in its path and the perfectly clean cuts it made, its power should be no less than that of a space-based kinetic weapon falling vertically from outer space... Fortunately, it flew out horizontally."
Lochina was the key to breaking the camel herd, the final, overwhelming obstacle that plunged them into utter despair.
A tremendous roar echoed across the sky as the indestructible magic spear completely tore apart the defensive line built by the main force of the mercenary group, instantly reducing their position to nothing.
The mercenary group began to rout, and the last words their leader heard in his life were:
"The Queen has ordered that no one be left alive. Kill them all."
...
...
...
This bloody night ended in a complete victory for the vampires.
This legion of over five thousand mercenaries made a grave mistake: arrogance.
They gathered in a non-neutral country without anyone's permission, launched an unauthorized attack on vampire territory protected by international conventions, chose to attack at night to cover their tracks, and even erased all their identifying marks—
This means that no one can be held responsible for their deaths, and no one has the right to blame the vampires for this.
Even though there was no evidence pointing directly to the Spier Group, everyone knew that the Spier Group was behind this ridiculous military operation.
The phrase "confessed without being asked" is the most fitting description for this heinous act of aggression.
It's easy to imagine the public opinion storm the Spier Group will face. Many fence-sitters have joined the chorus of condemnation against the group and are preparing to impose sanctions on its subsidiaries...
Although the atrocities committed by the opposition group do not mean that they are on the same side as the vampires, it is clear that the vampires are no longer fighting alone from this day forward.
A group that aspires to change the world is ultimately just a corporation, and its biggest weakness is the lack of an "army." When it can no longer gain an advantage in its most proficient arena of public opinion, it is left with only one path—to physically eliminate its "competitors."
The reason why scholars later characterized this event as "the beginning of a new era" is precisely because the balance of power between the group and the vampires completely changed after this devastating defeat.
...
...
...
"Lulu..."
"His Majesty..."
"...elder sister..."
"Her Majesty the Queen!"
In a sound
As she was called out, Ludwig's consciousness gradually returned, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
"..."
"hiss..."
She looked to her left and right. Her bed was surrounded by members of the Vampire Council, as well as Ruo Keke, Yin Shang, and others.
She realized that she had been taken back to her room and settled in.
"Coco, Lochina, and all the ministers... why are you all here?"
"You're back, which means..."
...
Lingxi sat beside the bed and took her hand.
"Yes, we wiped out the enemy, all thanks to you."
Lingxi gently stroked the back of her hand.
"Once you feel better, why don't you go and rest in the Eternal Pure Land for a while? It's alright to deal with the Queen's affairs a few days later."
Ludwig shook her head slightly in denial.
"This victory was achieved through everyone's valiant and fearless fighting; this queen certainly didn't..."
...
Torre waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't be modest, Your Majesty! The vampire inhabitants of the castle have all seen that you protected the castle despite your illness."
Meanwhile, Ruo Keke, who was standing to the side, looked like she had just been crying, as her eyes were still a little red and swollen.
"Your Majesty! You must not do this again! You are not only our pillar of strength, but also my...my..."
She turned her head away and pouted slightly.
"In short, as your personal maid, I must supervise you to take care of your body."
...
...
Subsequently, under strong pressure from her subjects and companions, Ludwig was forced to agree to go to the Eternal Paradise to recuperate, postponing her duties as queen for a few days.
She couldn't reveal the matter of the blood puppet; several days would be enough time for something to go wrong in the outside world.
That's why she looks so anxious now that she's in a wheelchair.
"Hmph, I am the Queen! These traitors! They have no respect for me whatsoever!"
"The vampire clan cannot be without a ruler for a single day, and Lingxi refuses to assume regency again..."
However, in reality, the Night Queen's reputation among the vampires actually surged due to her illness caused by overwork, far exceeding what she had imagined.
"What do you mean 'for my own good'? I don't care! Humph! You're making me so angry!"
The vampire queen seemed to have been brought back to her original form, spending the first few days in the Pure Land in a sullen and inexplicably childish manner.
Chapter 231 Should Not Be Possible
In Ludwig's Queen's Chamber, only a very few high-ranking vampires knew that there was a teleportation array there that led directly to the Eternal Pure Land.
