Imperial Crown

"Oh, hoo--"

William cheered loudly as he shuttled through Earl Dudor's camp.

He turned into a bloody whirlwind, moving endlessly between tents, knocking over every brazier he could see, and watching the tents merge into one in the flames and turn into a sea of ​​fire.

Because William paid special attention to the officers, the soldiers who lost their command were screaming, running, and spreading panic in panic, completely unaware of what was happening.

Only a few well-trained guys were organizing the firefighting, but they would soon become William's rations.

This is simply William's best playground!

He has been almost going crazy during this period of time.

The battle of the sighing high wall was not effective because of time reasons.

Now, it is finally time for him to show off his will.

As a vampire, the night is naturally his stage, and almost no one here can pose a threat to him.

And he can also let go of his previously restricted appetite and drink the blood of the enemy without worrying about being punished by Raven!

How many people has he killed today?

I don't know, and there's no need to count.

Who cares how many slices of bread you eat in one meal?

However, he remembered all the extraordinary people killed by William, and now there are 4 of them.

The blood of extraordinary people is full of life energy and is always particularly sweet and delicious.

"Go to hell, devil!!"

A tall knight rushed towards William.

He had a bunch of garlic hanging around his neck, the holy emblem of the Lord of Light on his chest, a shield in his right hand, and a peach wood long sword in his left hand that was cut out of the nick of time.

He ran with a clang.

The peach wood long sword ignited with golden fighting spirit - this is actually a knight of light.

"Oh, how thoughtful." William smiled exaggeratedly and clapped his hands: "Did you bring me supper, tableware and seasoning?"

"But your candle is so bright, it's a bit of a waste."

The knight seemed to be angered by William's contemptuous attitude, howled, and slashed down with the wooden sword in his hand.

William suddenly made a spiral, dodging the sword and appearing behind the knight. A sharp claw stretched out from the bloody whirlwind and touched the knight's throat:

"Any last words? I can help you take care of your unmarried sister at home, or take care of your fiancée who is waiting for you to get married."

"Go to hell--" the knight shouted, and his fighting spirit surged, and he was wrapped in a layer of golden fighting spirit armor.

It turned out to be a second-level knight.

"Ah——" William shouted and retreated, saying loudly:

"Oh my God, you actually have such a scheme and calculation, is it possible that I, Lord William, the viscount of the blood clan, will die here!?"

Then he laughed again, made a grimace, and showed his intact palm: "I'm kidding you, how could you hurt me?"

"But I can't wait for the blood of the second-level Knight of Light!"

"If you have the ability, come and get it!" The knight shouted loudly, and the stars of fighting spirit around him surged:

"Remember, it is the second-level Knight of Light, Lancha, who purifies you!"

As he said, he raised the wooden sword in his hand high, and the rich golden light gathered in it, and then rushed into the sky!

The golden light unfolded, turned into a long sword, and fell towards William's head!

"Judgment of Light!"

"Accept the judgment, devil!"

William raised his eyebrows slightly.

The second-level combat skill of Judgment of Light requires not only light fighting spirit, but also a devout belief in the Lord of Light to use it.

It looks like this is a holy knight of the Church of Light.

But didn't Thomas reach an agreement with his master that the Church of Light would not get involved in this war?

Strange.

There was a burst of heat above his head, and William knew that he had been firmly locked by this combat skill. He nodded:

"As a second-level, it's not bad to have this ability. If it were other third-level vampires, they might really get hurt."

"Unfortunately, the one you met today is me!"

As he said this, he raised his wrist, a trace of blood seeped out from his palm, and suddenly a blood-colored vortex exploded.

Under the attraction of the vortex, the dead bodies next to them began to twitch, and clusters of blood mist rose from their bodies, gathered in William's palm, and turned into a dagger as thick as a finger.

Holding the dagger in his hand, William raised it high and collided it squarely with the golden blade that fell from the sky!

Boom——

Compared to the sharp blade, the blood-colored dagger is like a baby blocking a two-meter-tall strong man.

But at the moment of contact, a thick blood light burst out from the dagger.

Gold and scarlet exploded, like a hot iron ball smashing into a sea of ​​blood!

The smell of blood filled the air.

The blood light and the golden light complemented each other, making everything around seem chaotic and inexplicable.

It also made William's originally handsome and delicate face look hideous and terrifying!

The brilliance of the sword became weaker and weaker.

It was as if the sun was pressed into the west by the clouds, and was about to die.

The knight encouraged his fighting spirit, constantly strengthened the power of his fighting skills, and constantly prayed to the Lord of Light.

"Justice will surely defeat evil..."

"Wherever the Lord's blade reaches..."

"The righteous will be under His glory--Puff!!!!"

The sword that condensed all his spirit and fighting spirit suddenly shattered and turned into stardust all over the sky.

The blood-colored light rushed up to the sky, as if cutting the sky, and then slowly disappeared.

The knight knelt down on one knee, thick blood gushing out from his mouth, and his internal organs had been injured by the surging fighting spirit.

William flew in front of the knight. The knight waved his mahogany sword in vain, but William knocked him away.

The sharp claws pierced the knight's armor and penetrated deep into the neck, injecting a light cyan poison from an angle invisible to outsiders.

As the poison spread, the knight twitched several times, and finally fell asleep because he was too consumed and could not resist the effects.

For thousands of years, the vampires used this toxin to hunt blood slaves.

"Put him down!"

What followed the sound was a dark glow of fighting spirit, which was still difficult to distinguish even when surrounded by firelight.

This fighting spirit came towards William's arm, but before he could get close, William turned into black wind and grabbed the unconscious holy knight aside.

Fighting energy entered the tent next to it, causing the entire tent to collapse. Fire and dust rose into the sky.

"Yo, the sixth one!"

William turned around and smiled, and saw a knight covered in armor. Judging from the coat of arms on his chest, he should be a baron.

Being able to unleash his fighting spirit to attack shows that he already has level three strength.

The extraordinary taste of the third level...

William licked his lips, a trace of greed rising in his heart, and he considered whether to take the time to hunt it down.

But at this moment, he saw a figure that he didn't want to see at this moment.

Tu Duo is walking slowly.

His arrival also means that the high-level supernatural beings in the camp are likely to gather here.

It's time to leave.

Having such a second-level light knight in hand is enough to explain to the master.

Blood can flow and wings rise behind it.

Under the full moon, William lifted Lancha's neck and slowly lifted into the sky:

"Ah, it's rare that the Earl is here too. I didn't expect you Eivor people to know etiquette so well."

"It's a pity that I'm already full, so I can only refuse your kindness."

"I'll just come here today, and I'll come back tomorrow!"

With that said, he pulled up a bloody glow and flew away from the camp, leaving behind only a thick mist of blood and a messy corner of the camp.

"Stop, devil!!" The third-level extraordinary shouted, about to chase William.

"Stop, that's enough, Bonta." Du Duo shouted to stop his men: "In this environment, you can't catch up with him. If you go out alone, you will only be played by him until you die."

Bonta turned back and argued eagerly: "But, sir! Lancha is your son!"

"I know." Du Duo's face was as green as iron: "That's why I can't sacrifice you for him!"

"Send the order, let the officers below the centurion commander appease the soldiers; all extraordinary people, gather in our military camp!"

The chaos caused by William was basically extinguished after three hours.

The losses of the soldiers were not great, less than 30 were killed directly by vampires, and more died from fires and trampling on each other in panic. Even so, there were less than 200.

A lot of tents were lost, more than 130 tents, but fortunately the logistics were sufficient and they could be replenished quickly.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

But the extraordinary aspect is not so optimistic.

3 first-level extraordinarys, 2 second-level extraordinarys, and one of them is the son of the Earl.

Letting a vampire break into the camp, it was like entering an uninhabited land, and causing such losses, some of the officers present felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Some are deeply ashamed and angry because of shame.

Bonta complained with an excited face: "Raven's methods are really too much, and he even colluded with vampires. Can he be considered a noble like this!?"

"So what?" Although Du Duo's eyes were bloodshot and the dice he had been playing with had stopped in his palm, his words were still very reasonable:

"We have no evidence now. Even if we do, can the Keynes Empire be allowed to punish Raven on this basis?"

Du Duo's words made everyone lower their heads.

"I am not saying this to hurt you, but to tell you." Du Duo took a deep breath: "The only way to punish Raven is to defeat him head-on on the battlefield."

"Can't wait any longer!"

"Give me the order to organize an attack immediately after dawn!!"

Du Duo knew that his troops had just finished their march and had not fully rested. There was no time to build trebuchets and other killing equipment on the spot.

Now is not a good time to attack.

But if we don't attack now, it will only get worse later.

The appearance of vampires completely disrupted Duduo's cloth making.

The vampire obviously obeys Raven's orders, and is at least level 3. Only if he joins forces with Bonta or Kuili can he ensure that his voltage is stabilized.

As a result, unless all extraordinary beings gather in his tent, they will inevitably be hunted down by vampires one by one.

And if you really do this, you are allowing yourself to bleed and slowly lead to defeat.

Not to mention that the whereabouts of vampires are unpredictable, and the morale loss caused by their nightly incursions into the camp cannot be ignored.

What's more important is that if a vampire finds out where he stores food and grass, and a fire breaks out, he may not even be able to save him!

"Those damn vampires!" Du Duo hammered the chair hard.

What he was talking about at this time was not William, but the priests of the Church of Light who had benefited a lot from him.

Du Duo's son is named Lancha. He was sent to the Church of Light by Du Duo to be trained since he was a child. He is loyal to the Lord of Light.

This time, the Church of Light remained neutral in the war. It was Lancha who took the initiative to join the army to share his father's worries.

If there was a 3rd-level priest, the vampires would not be so rampant.

"That's good." Duduo forced himself to calm down.

With the background of the Church of Light, Raven should not attack Lancha.

Time passed, the night passed little by little, but the day did not come as expected.

The sky was full of dark clouds.

With the sound of the horn, the gate of Duduo's camp opened, and the army slowly poured out and began to line up with their backs against the wall.

The Bolan District is the richest district in the Principality of Eivor, and Duduo's army can indeed be called elite.

In the front, there is a square formation composed of more than 3,000 heavily armored soldiers.

The left and right wings are both 8,000 people in size, with all kinds of arms configurations.

In the rear wing, there is a long-range force of 6,000 people, mainly crossbows, with 2,000 archers.

This scale of long-range projection power, as long as there is enough protection and enough attack time, is enough to fight against an enemy force that is several times larger than itself.

And Raven has only two legions in total, and now he has divided 1,000 elite soldiers to go to the Bolan Gold Mine.

But Duduo did not underestimate Raven because of this.

"No wonder Wanda lost." Duduo looked at the Eagle Army several miles away and said lightly.

The number of Eagle Army is one-third of his army, but it took less than one-fifth of their time to complete the camp, preparation, and formation.

It is also a standard infantry phalanx, with 3,000 people on the left wing and 3,000 people on the right wing, and 1,000 elite heavy armor in the middle.

There is also an extra phalanx on its right side, which is 500 heavy cavalry in full helmet and armor, which tightly presses the corners of the formation.

That will also be the most threatening force to Duduo's army in this battle, except for the Wind King.

The Principality of Eivor does not produce good horses, nor does it have enough land for horse grazing. The limited war horses can only be imported from the Nord Province or the Insa Empire in the north, making it difficult to form a well-organized cavalry.

"It seems that Raven did not rely on luck to defeat the Wall of Sighs."

Being able to train the army so neatly, even Du Duo is somewhat inferior to him, and looking at his deployment of troops, he does not have the impetuous problems of ordinary young nobles.

Indeed, this classic infantry phalanx is not surprising, but the reason why it is a classic is that it is effective enough and is the optimal solution obtained in thousands of wars.

In the history of wars in the Middles Continent, I don’t know how many nobles who want to win by surprise have invented various formations, but they are only greeted with failure!

Before the battle, you can play tricks and conspiracy tactics.

But when you really get to the battlefield, there is only a fair collision and attack!

"March!"

The horn sounded in the air, and the armies of both sides began to advance almost at the same time.

At this time, the difference between the two sides can be seen.

Although Raven's troops were few, they almost formed a straight line when they advanced, like a slowly advancing iron barrel.

Under Du Duo, the 3,000 elite soldiers in the central army were able to maintain their formation, while the wings began to deform like waves.

The heavy footsteps gradually spread until both sides could clearly see the patterns on the flags of the other side.

The black eagle flag representing the Griffith family fluttered in the wind, and Du Duo's golden lion was eager to pounce.

The distance between the two sides was less than 400 meters at this moment.

But at this moment, Raven's troops suddenly stopped.

Could it be that Raven was preparing to attack with the Wind King?

But the flying monsters in the sky did not report the news of the appearance of the Wind King, and the figure of the Wind King could not be seen as far as the eye could see.

Even so, Du Duo still gave an order in time: "Let the long-range troops prepare for air defense!"

However, the following changes were far beyond Du Duo's expectations.

Raven's central army suddenly split from the middle, and six carts were slowly pushed out.

Du Duo's pupils shrank:

"Enchanted bed crossbow!?"

...
