Dark Fairy Tale: Tyrant, Conquer Cinderella at the Beginning

The bats scattered in the forest, each looking for prey.

The bat that had sucked enough blood flew directly to the direction of the swamp where the witch lived.

After the other bats scattered, a few of them quietly flew towards the castle.

……

The morning light broke, dispelling the fog in the castle.

After washing up, Richard walked on the castle, preparing to start his new day’s plan.

At this moment, the system prompt suddenly sounded:

【WARNING! WARNING!】

【Your castle was attacked last night. The five knights are in a weak state. Please check them carefully! 】

Richard frowned when he heard this reminder.

“Come! Let Hedon, Das… the other five come to see me!”

A quarter of an hour later, several knights and attendants appeared in front of Richard, their steps were weak, their faces were pale, and they looked exhausted.

“”Did you guys get attacked last night?” Richard asked.

They looked at each other. They did find that they were not in good condition, but the attacker……

“My Lord, there was no attack last night. If there had been an attack, we would have died long ago!”

“I didn’t encounter any attacks, but for some reason, I slept very deeply last night, and when I woke up, I felt very weak.”

“……”

Several people denied that they were attacked.

“”Who was on guard last night?” Richard looked at Charles, the knight’s attendant standing guard.

Charles was the one who was chosen to be the captain of the militia. He said:

“It’s Zhu Lei and Iber’s team.”

“Tell them to come over!” Richard looked old and his tone was not very good.

“Yes, sir!”Charles saluted and quickly went to pass the order.

The five people at the scene were a little confused. Seeing Richard so serious, they thought, did something really happen last night?

However, they didn’t feel anything!

If they were really attacked, they were still alive. This was too lucky.

However, they didn’t know if anyone was killed.

They were a little worried.

No matter who was killed, it was not what they wanted to see.

After all, they all left the Dukedom with Richard. Before becoming Richard’s knights and squires, they received collective training in the Dukedom and were considered classmates. The relationship may not be very deep, but at least it was a friendship between classmates. No one wanted someone to die inexplicably.

Now their minds are still confused.

What kind of attack would make them physically weak and at the same time feel nothing.

But speaking of it, one of them suddenly remembered that he seemed to have had a nightmare. He dreamed that he seemed to have a special pain in his neck when he was practicing breathing before going to bed, and then there was no other picture. Was n’t that a dream?

By the way, when he woke up in the morning, he was lying on the ground. He thought he was sleeping in bed and rolled to the ground. Now it seems…

He quickly said:

“Sir, I remember that I seemed to be bitten by something on my neck last night, and then I fell into a coma. When I woke up in the morning, I found myself lying on the ground.”

Richard glanced at him, and then looked at the others:

“What about you? Have you remembered?”

After hearing what the previous person said, the four people touched their necks and found that there seemed to be a small, barely noticeable lump on their necks, slightly swollen, as if they were bitten by a mosquito.

If it was just one person, it wouldn’t make people think too much, but they all had it, and it was in the same location, which inevitably had to do with their weak physical condition.

“Sir, we were bitten too, but I slept last night and didn’t feel anything.”

“I didn’t feel anything either.”

The others all shook their heads.

It was true that the man was sucked blood by the first bat. It was still early at that time and he was practicing.

The other three were obviously injured by the bats that returned later. At that time, everyone was resting, so they didn’t react in bed.

Richard didn’t react to their replies.

He had roughly guessed the reason. These people were obviously suffering from a great loss of energy and blood, just like after a big battle with others.

And according to what they said, judging from the bite on their necks, they should have been sucked blood.

If they were vampires, they would probably be dead now.

And the wounds on their necks were very small. Now it seems that it is more likely that they were sucked blood by vampire bats.

At this time, the night watchman was also brought over by Charles.

“Did you find anything last night?”Richard asked.

Charles obviously did not tell them about the weakness of the few people. The two night watchmen were also confused at this time, shaking their heads. They looked a little nervous, wondering if they had failed in their duties.

As expected, Richard said:

“Vampire bats invaded last night, and the five of them were attacked. As night watchmen, you didn’t notice anything at all?”

The two men’s faces suddenly changed, and they knelt on the ground and said:

“”I am guilty, please punish me!”

They did not dare to beg for mercy, so they could only admit their mistakes.

Richard did not indulge them and said directly:

“According to the regulations, you will be whipped, ten lashes each!”

The two men shuddered and bowed their heads to accept the punishment:

“”Yes, Lord!”

The reason they were afraid was that this whipping was no joke. They knew very well that the whips in the torture room were all scorpion whips, not the horse whips that the Lord used to whip people yesterday.

This kind of scorpion whip has fine barbs all over the whip.

Every time it is whipped, a layer of flesh and blood will be pulled off. Although it is not deep, it is very painful.

Fortunately, when the internal punishment is carried out, the whip will be coated with medicine. The main thing is that it is painful, but it does not affect healing and there will be no inflammation.

It is said that this is a medicine developed by the Lord himself.

“And the five of you, when Shen Tu recovers, you will also receive ten whips!” The five people were originally happy in their hearts, thinking that it was you who was careless when guarding the night, causing us to be attacked, but they didn’t expect that before they could gloat halfway, they became clowns themselves.

“Yes!” The five people looked sad.

“Humph! As a knight’s squire, you don’t even have this much vigilance. Remember this lesson in the future!” Richard continued to scold.

The five men then looked serious and said respectfully:

“Sir, we understand!”

Richard waved his hand to drive them away, then frowned.

Punishment is one thing, but the most important thing at the moment is the swamp witch. I didn’t expect the witch to appear at this time. It seems that she should be dealt with first in the future.

After the militia is formed, he plans to lead the team himself to attack the swamp witch, so that she can be used as a training object.

This will be a good whetstone!

Richard showed a cold smile on his face.
