Chapter 195: Snow Rock City Attacked
Langman's death was a great victory. Just as Carl had expected, in the face of a large-scale war, the vampire's fear of light would become a huge weakness. And the facts proved that on that day, in just one day, they had completely cleared out the enemy's dead troops. The good news of victory was passed back to Xueyan City. The moment Yasha received this victory report, she could hardly suppress her excitement.
She tightly grasped the letter in her hand, her eyes flashing with joy, but besides joy, she was more shocked. That was a vampire. She had experienced how powerful it was. The troops led by Hilde and Dongfang Yao were completely destroyed by the other party alone. However, Carl solved this big problem in less than a day.
Who on earth is Karl Flandal? I heard that he was just an ordinary serf before he became a baron, but is this really the ability and temperament that an ordinary serf possesses? Yasha's heart tightened, with both relief and fear.
The news spread quickly throughout the city. Soon, everyone knew about it, and the city was plunged into a sea of joy. People began to hang flags symbolizing the Fran family on the streets of the city. The windows of every house were open, and laughter and music could be heard. Children ran in the streets, cheering and jumping for joy. It seemed that even the air was filled with the joy of victory.
People didn't know the details, they just knew they won, and defeated a blood-sucking vampire, that was enough. Celebrating was more about finding an excuse to relax, to temporarily free themselves from the tense daily life. Duolunso had been through too much recently, and needed such an excuse to relieve stress. Yasha knew this matter very well.
In the square in the center of the city, she even went on stage to announce the victory to the gathered crowd. Her voice was loud and firm, conveying hope to everyone:
"Langman has been defeated! We have successfully defended Torrentso! This is our victory!"
There was a deafening cheer from the crowd, the warriors raised their weapons high, and the people rushed forward to pay tribute to Yasha and the other local guards, even though they had nothing to do with the victory.
Then came the night celebration. Torches lit up the entire street. A simple stage was built in the square. A group of local bards played cheerful music, and dancers danced with light steps. Everyone was immersed in joy and relaxation. Everyone drank and talked loudly, talking about Carl's bravery in fighting against vampires, although most of them were hearsay. This carnival lasted until late at night.
It was not until the stars and the moon were obscured by clouds that Xueyan City gradually returned to its tranquility. The revelers gradually dispersed. After eating and drinking, people began to go home to sleep. Only a few patrolling soldiers were still walking from time to time, inspecting the city walls and gates. But compared to before, they were much more relaxed. Most of them were drunk, and some even walked unsteadily.
And at this moment, a strange roar suddenly broke the silence of the night above Xueyan City.
Several drunk soldiers stopped and looked up curiously. They saw several black shadows approaching quickly in the sky in the distance. They looked like bats, but they were human-like in size. It was not until they got closer that they could see clearly that they were neither bats nor humans, but half-human, half-bat monsters. They opened their mouths wide, revealing a row of sharp teeth, and looked extremely ferocious. Their huge wings flapped in the air, making a chilling sound!
The soldiers sobered up in an instant, their eyes widened, and they didn't know what to say for a moment, until the monster fell from the sky and some of them were knocked down and torn to pieces, only then did they react.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Vampires are coming!" one of them shouted loudly, and then the alarm bell on the city wall rang, breaking the silence of the city.
At this moment, more and more black shadows also landed on the top of the city wall. There were more than a dozen of them, all of which were half-human, half-bat ghost monsters with distorted faces, strange bodies, and a rotten smell on their bodies. They roared and pounced on the defenders on the city wall. Wherever their sharp teeth and claws touched, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams were heard.
The sudden attack plunged the city into chaos. The defenders fought hastily, but could not find weapons to fight against vampires. The streets were filled with painful wails. The people in the city woke up from their sleep and looked out of the window in horror, only to see hideous monsters slaughtering soldiers.
Yasha was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. She put on a cloak and ran out of the room quickly. The commotion in the city and the alarm bells in the distance made her heart tighten. She soon found out the situation. Snow Rock City was attacked by the vampires under Ford.
After she figured it out, she immediately shouted to the guards around her:
"Don't panic, go to the warehouse and take out the silver-plated weapons and distribute them to the soldiers!"
The latter nodded hurriedly and was about to leave, but suddenly felt a strong wind blowing from behind. The moment he turned around, he felt a hand piercing his chest and fell to the ground in pain.
Yasha looked at this scene in surprise. She saw with her own eyes that her guard was killed on the spot. The one who killed him was a black shadow that fell from the sky. The guy slowly landed on the ground, then folded his wings and returned to human form. Yasha could see clearly that it was a masked woman in aristocratic dress with a mask on her face.
The woman looked up at her, then paced back and forth, her movements carrying a touch of aristocratic elegance:
"Are you Yasha? Humph, a commoner has become the ruler of this city. You are really against the will of heaven!" After saying that, she suddenly pounced on Yasha at such a fast speed that it was almost impossible to avoid her!
At the critical moment, Hilde and Dongfang Yao suddenly rushed out of the castle and tried their best to block the fatal blow. The sword in Hilde's hand collided with the claws of the masked woman, making a crisp metal collision sound. The female swordsman was overwhelmed and retreated, but Dongfang Yao immediately made up for it, waving his long sword, and hit again, barely blocking the opponent's steps.
Then he shouted to Yasha behind him:
"Run!"
Yasha's heart tightened and she turned around and ran into the house.
However, the masked woman did not intend to let her go. She sneered, waved her claws, and broke through the two people's defense line and chased after them. Although Hilde and Dongfang Yao tried their best, the opponent's speed and strength were far beyond their expectations. They were directly knocked away and fell to the sides.
In a hurry, Dongfang Yao suddenly threw a shuriken from his sleeve, and the hidden weapon flew towards the masked woman. The latter rolled sideways and caught the flying hidden weapon, but soon she seemed to have caught something hot and quickly let go, and then let out a terrified scream:
"This is a silver weapon!"
"Of course, it's specially used to kill you vampires!" Hilde climbed up with a smile, shouting and swinging the sword again.
However, the masked woman just smiled coldly, dodged her attack easily, and then swung her hand back. Hilde felt a strong force coming at her, and the whole person was knocked out and hit the wall.
Then she heard the masked woman laugh fiercely:
"Do you think you can kill me with a silver weapon? Don't you see what kind of person you are? Since you are looking for death, I will not be polite!"
As she spoke, she slowly approached the two of them, with a strong sense of oppression in every step. Her sharp claws drew cold light in the air. Hilde stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and then looked at Dongfeng Yao, who nodded tacitly. The two knew that there was no way out in this battle, and they had to fight to the death.
"Let's attack together!" Dongfang Yao whispered, and then he flashed and attacked again. The long sword slashed the masked woman's chest with a sharp sound. Hilde was not to be outdone, and quickly attacked from the side, with the blade pointing directly at the opponent's throat.
However, the latter moved as fast as lightning. She kicked Hilde away first, then easily dodged Dongfang Yao's attack, and finally swung her hand back, and the knife light disappeared instantly. Dongfang Yao felt a chill in his chest, and then blood spurted out. His long knife was knocked away by the masked woman, and his body was pierced by the claws, and his eyes gradually lost their spirit.
"Dongfang Yao!" Hilde shouted, her eyes full of pain. She felt extremely sad, and her body seemed to be ignited by the flame of anger. She shouted and tried her best to launch the final attack.
"Go to hell!" the swordswoman screamed, swinging her sword at the masked woman with the determination to die. However, the attack was dodged again, and then she felt a chill in her abdomen. When she lowered her head again, she didn't know when she had been ripped open by the opponent.
Hilde felt a sharp pain and fell to her knees. Her internal organs kept pouring out of her mouth and fell to the ground. She saw the masked woman walk in front of her and squatted down, playing with her overflowing intestines, as if she was laughing at her. She felt unwilling and used up her last bit of strength to suddenly reach out and grab the masked woman's face. The masked woman was unable to dodge in time, and the mask on her face was grabbed off, revealing her true face under the mask.
Yasha saw the other person's face, which seemed to have been burned by fire, leaving countless scars that could not be healed, but even so, he still recognized her identity: Isabel, Ford's daughter, the once beautiful girl.
After her mask was ripped off, Isabel seemed to be a little angry and humiliated. She swung her hand again and directly cut Hilde's throat, dealing the final blow to the man who was supposed to be dying.
"Hilde! Dongfang Yao!" Yasha's voice was hoarse and desperate. She wanted to rush over, but was frightened by Isabel. She didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
But Isabel slowly stood up, looked at the body on the ground, and then looked up at Yasha:
"Go tell Carl that this is just the beginning. There will be no good outcome if you go against the Blood Ancestor."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly howled, and the huge bat wings stretched out from behind her again. She turned around and leaped down, then flew into the air again, flying away into the distance.
At the same time, the rest of the vampires also began to evacuate. Before dawn, they all flew away from Snow Rock City, leaving behind corpses in the streets and a mess.
