The Original Vampire

late at night.

On the head of Bailu City, Knight Rupert was squatting beside the brazier and carefully wiping his long sword.

Rupert is a typical Eastern knight, in his early thirties, handsome and well-mannered, more like a suave bard than a knight, only a carefully trimmed beard makes his face look like A little more sturdy temperament.

He is also one of the few old people of the Pegasus Legion. During the battle of Shadow Canyon, Knight Rupert was seriously injured, so he returned to the East Territory to recuperate in advance, and was unable to follow Marquis Vincent to Silvermoon City.

When Knight Rupert was injured, he was secretly annoyed and felt that he could not accompany the army to Silvermoon City, and he would miss a good opportunity to make meritorious service. Looking back now, he can only secretly rejoice. Became a member of the souls of the dead under Silvermoon City.

As the direct line army of the Saint Proos family, the lord of the Eastern Realm, the Pegasus Legion must be rebuilt as soon as possible, and the replenishment of troops, logistical support, equipment supply, etc. are the first priority, so it only takes more than a year. , The Pegasus Legion, which was almost completely wiped out, was quickly replenished to nearly 100,000 people.

It was as if the Pegasus Legion had been reborn.

But Knight Rupert is very clear that the current Pegasus Legion is completely different from before the reconstruction.

Although the new recruits had some military appearances after more than a year of training, Knight Rupert knew very well that they were all pretentious and far from the real elite, not to mention the tiger wolf in the north. the teacher.

Thinking of this, the terrifying and bloody scene of the Shadow Canyon couldn't help but appear in the mind of Rupert Knight, making his injured half of his body aching. He took a few steps closer to the brazier.

Of course, the rebuilding of the Pegasus Legion is actually a good thing for people like Rupert Knight.

After all, there are many vacancies, and the military rank of Knight Rupert has also risen with the tide. Otherwise, with the strength of his third-order knight and his unremarkable family background, it is impossible for him to become the commander of the Tianma Legion.

However, recently, the situation in the east has made Knight Rupert worried.

Although there is no conclusion about what happened in the battle of Alfalfa City, all kinds of rumors are flying around.

Did Earl Hall betray the St. Pros family?

Is the Furious River still in the hands of the Eastern Territory?

And the blood cavalry... where is it now?

What Rupert Knight is most concerned about now,

That's the last question. To be honest, he really doesn't want to run into that terrifying northern cavalry again.

Just as he was thinking about it, a strange feeling came to his mind, and Knight Rupert was stunned, tilting his head and listening.

There really seems to be some movement.

Knight Rupert immediately stood up, walked to the city wall with his long sword, and looked out.

Tonight, the stars are lonely, the moon is hidden behind the clouds, and outside the city is dark, nothing can be seen.

But Knight Rupert always felt something was wrong.

It's a gut feeling unique to a long-time veteran.

After ordering a group of soldiers, Knight Rupert began to patrol the city carefully.

But after a round of inspections, he found nothing. It seemed that he was just paranoid just now.

Just when Knight Rupert was about to give up the inspection and go back to continue the fire, a creaking sound clearly entered his ears.

The soldiers hadn't reacted yet, but Knight Rupert immediately woke up and turned back and shouted:

"Go and see if someone is going to open the city gate!"

The soldiers looked at each other and wondered if their superior was crazy. Who would dare to disobey the military order to open the city gate at this time?

But then, the faint sound of hooves sounded outside the city, shattering the silent winter night.

At a glance, a fire dragon spread like a tide under the dim moonlight.

Now even these new recruits of the Pegasus Legion who have never experienced battle formations understand it.

Enemy attack!

"Quick! Trumpet, trumpet!" roared the Rupert Knight hoarsely.

woo-

The low-pitched horn sounded instantly at the top of the city.

The reaction speed of Knight Rupert is not slow, but unfortunately this newly formed Pegasus Legion is still too immature.

Due to the lack of a large number of grass-roots officers with rich combat experience, the first time they heard the bugle, they didn't know to guard the most critical city gate first, but fell into a panic at what to do.

In addition, it was late at night, and the military orders could not be passed smoothly. When Knight Rupert led his soldiers to the gate of the city, he was surprised to find that the cavalry pioneers outside the city had rushed to the position of less than 500 paces.

Such a short distance can be reached in an instant at the speed of a cavalry.

At this time, even if you want to close the city gate, it is too late.

Knight Rupert didn't know how the gate was opened, but at this time, he could no longer think about it.

Because by the light of the fire, he has already seen the enemy's flag - the blood cavalry!

Changed the name, but the level of horror remains the same.

Knight Rupert's old wound began to ache again. He suppressed the fear in his heart and roared: "Block the city gate!"

Blocking?

What to block?

Of course it's human life, it's flesh and blood.

But unfortunately, not everyone has such courage, especially this group of recruits who have not experienced battle formations.

What's more, what they faced at this time was the blood cavalry army that made the Pegasus Legion tremble in its heyday.

Therefore, when Knight Rupert stood at the gate of the city with swords in both hands, he found that there was no companion at all.

A sad feeling came over him.

Today's Tianma Army, is it so unbearable?

Facing the surging tide of northern cavalry alone, Knight Rupert seemed to return to the Shadow Canyon a year ago in a trance.

For a while, he suddenly calmed down, no fear, no resentment, just a kind of relief and relief.

The familiar faces of the former Pegasus Legion appeared in Rupert Knight's mind, and shouted:

"Brothers, I'm here to accompany you!"

Bang!

Like the gravel in front of the huge wave, the Rupert Knight was knocked out at the first sight, and the surging cavalry wave continued to roll forward without any delay.

The killing began to spread in the city.

...

White Castle.

The housekeeper, who has always paid special attention to etiquette, rushed into the study in a panic at this time, trembling and reporting:

"O... lord, it's not good! The blood cavalry army has entered the city!"

The Duke of St. Pros, who was playing against Marquis Vincent, didn't seem surprised at all. He didn't put down the crystal chess piece in his hand when he heard the words, and his eyes still stayed on the chessboard. He asked lightly:

"Which door? How did you get in?"

Infected by the calmness of the Duke of St. Pros, the butler took a few deep breaths and stabilized his mind, saying:

"Entered from the north gate. The information I have so far is that a traitor secretly opened the north gate and let the blood cavalry in."

"I see." The Duke of St. Pros nodded.

Seeing this, the butler suddenly relaxed a lot.

Obviously, the Duke of St. Pros had anticipated all this.

Maybe, this is a trap set up by the Duke against the Blood Cavalry Army.

So, seeing that the Duke of St. Pros had no further instructions, the butler bowed and left the study, closing the door.

In the study, Marquis Vincent looked at the Duke of St. Pros with a solemn expression, and said solemnly:

"How is it, father, now you should trust me?"
