Chapter 1410 1407. Edward's "Afterlife" - The Rules of the Wolf Cubs
Shani's previous evaluation was not wrong. Old Edward did have a sense of humor.

After being stabbed, he actually hid in Loren's Marshal's Mansion in the Fog City. This place has been sealed for a long time and is indeed a hiding place that is difficult to be discovered.

Old Edward, who was in critical condition, was personally escorted by the Lord to the R-9 base for treatment. He would not recover for a while, but Murphy was very curious about how the injury of Grand Duke Wolfbane could have deteriorated to this extent. So after Old Edward was sent away, Murphy looked at Xia Ni and said:
"I know that every holy object of the vampire clan has its own power, but can Fallen Virtue cause such devastating injuries? It can actually directly destroy the genetic structure. Isn't this more outrageous than the suppression of vampires by Eternal Silence?"

"No, it's not an injury caused by simply corrupt virtue."

Shani shook her head and explained:
"According to the records of the holy relics of the Principality of Thorns, the corrupt virtue will only cause unhealable wounds to the enemy and thus better trigger the blood hunting of vampires. It does not have such evil abilities.

Perhaps it was the dusk that transformed the holy relic of thorns
After all, given Old Edward's current rank and status, it was indeed worth their efforts. And he just said that Lady Cecilia was trying to spread the mad blood in the Fog City.
It seems we have reason to suspect that Lady Cecilia has been infected with the mad blood, and the Wolf Griffin faction was abandoned by Dusk and transformed into a more dangerous vampire. "

"So, who sent the dangerous mad blood virus to Greene Island? As far as I can remember, that person is the only one who has such ability."

Murphy stood up and reached out to grasp the hilt of the Long Night Guard at his waist. At this moment, Shani also ejected the combat claw blade in her hand.

The moment the two of them turned around tacitly, on the balcony of the Marshal's Mansion, which was originally empty, in the dimness of the rainy night, a slender figure in a red dress and holding an umbrella appeared there like a ghost.

The cheeks exposed under the umbrella were abnormally pale.

She was surrounded by Murphy and Shani, but her cold and stern posture in the rain made it seem more like she was surrounding the two people.

"do not move!"

Ms. Lily, who had not been seen for a long time, said coldly:

"I don't want to waste any more time defeating you two. I am exhausted from suppressing old Edward and giving stupid Cecilia the opportunity to assassinate me."

"Why didn't you show up when the Lord was here just now?"

Murphy said:
"You are the one who secretly took care of old Edward even though he was stabbed by a vicious weapon, right? Let me be frank, Ms. Lily. If you were not controlled by the head monk, now would be the best time for you to return to our side.

I know you still love the Lord deeply, and I also know that the Lord has even planned to retire several times for you. Do you remember our previous agreement?
I will keep that promise!

But I need you to make a wise decision at this moment of courage. The ship is sinking at dusk. Why not jump off the ship?"

"I'd love to answer you, Amazing Murphy."

Lily raised her head. The raindrops from her umbrella dripped onto the blood river above her head, forming a strange luster. Her overly pale face did not show much expression. She just said in a weak tone:

"My life will soon come to an end, and perhaps yours will too. I should have left yesterday, but I stayed here to wait for you to come. Murphy, I want to revise our previous agreement. I want you to stop Payne from going to the Holy Blood Seal!

The rest of you can go through, but he can’t.”

"why?"

Murphy stared at the vampire lady in front of him who had a very unique self-positioning, and said:

"You have to give me a reason, right?"

"Well, Fato is waiting for him, that's the reason."

Lily sighed and said:
"Fato has been waiting for someone who can represent the vampire civilization to have a conversation with him, the 'exile'. He has been waiting for many, many years. In the past, only Paying could take on this responsibility, but now that you have appeared, that poor man can finally escape the burden.

Murphy!

I'm not asking you to die.

The truth behind the Holy Blood Sealed Land is not as dark as you imagined, but someone still needs to make a difficult decision and take on a heavy mission.

You are determined to unify the vampire civilization, but only after completing the level of Fatto and the Mad Blood Clan can you become a true Midnight King.

I just want Paying to live.

He will walk alone towards his eventual self-destruction, but at least he can survive. You owe me a favor, Murphy, promise me not to let Paying go!"

"I will try my best."

Murphy put away his weapon and gestured to Shani, who also put away her weapon, but just as Murphy was about to say a few more words, Lily took a step back.

She is leaving.

Before leaving, Lily said her final goodbye to Murphy:
"This should be our last meeting. I have already chosen a cemetery for myself. After I die, it will be there to say goodbye to Paying. It's a pity that I couldn't be with him until the end."

"last question!"

Murphy asked:
"You are not controlled by the head monk, right?"

"They can't control vampires, Murphy."

A complicated smile appeared on Lily's pale face. She said:
"That terrible experiment wasn't a complete failure. At least it succeeded in combating Chaos Mind Pollution. Unfortunately, we replaced the original flaw with a worse curse. Go underground now.

Don’t let Cecilia, that lunatic with a strong tendency to self-destruct, really pour her crazy blood into the groundwater, otherwise Fog City and even Greeny will be finished.”

After saying that, she jumped lightly backwards. Under Murphy's astonished gaze, a pair of wings grew behind her. The wings were not as exaggerated as those of the Blood Eagle Clan, but definitely more suitable for flying than those of the Blood Alliance Clan. She disappeared in the night rain of the foggy city under the cover of the reflection of the Blood River.

After Lily's breath completely disappeared, Xia Ni next to her stepped forward and whispered:
"You've been stalling for time. I don't know what you've been doing, but you must have done something to Lily that she didn't even realize. So, what did you do?"

"Just a mark."

Murphy glanced at the river of blood above his head and said:
"As the carrier of the Midnight Twins' power, the breath of any vampire can be remembered by the Blood River. I know I can't stop Madam Lily from committing suicide. This guy must have some kind of hopeless yandere mentality. The blackening of her status as a mad vampire has aggravated this mental illness.

However, I knew that if I really did nothing, the Lord would definitely shoot me after knowing the truth.

I hope this tracking mark can be useful at the critical moment."

After saying that, Murphy glanced at Xia Ni who was nervously checking herself up and down, and said with a curled lip:

"Don't look at it. You have something similar on you. Every vampire I care about has it. It allows me to grasp your situation at the first time. That's why I can locate you so accurately in the Songhai Desert.

Don't be so angry, you know, it's just a cautious concern
Let's go!

Now that the truth is clear, it's time to get rid of Cecilia.

Well, this thing went better than I thought.

It looks like it won't take three days, the problem will be solved by tomorrow noon at the latest. Speaking of which, it feels really great to have someone lurking in the enemy's upper echelons!"
-
"Ow~"

The distant howling of wolves echoed in the foggy city tonight in a mysterious manner, causing the civilians who were awakened from their sleep to look suspiciously at the rainy night outside the window.

They wondered if there were wolves in the city. How could there be such a strange movement?
But the fact is, on the roofs of these unfortunate people who were woken up, there really were "wolves" running wildly and recklessly.

Those strange creatures with manes and tails but human postures were agile and walked as fast as the wind, crossing one roof after another in the rainy night. They were as fast as lightning and as light as cats. There were a lot of them. At a glance, there were at least nearly a hundred people moving together in this block, just like a large pack of wolves cooperating in hunting.

And from the skillful postures of these guys, it can be seen that this is definitely not the first time they have fought wits and courage with the Wolfsbane Clan in the dark.

In fact, in the present-day Cato region, the legend of the "Sons of Eris" is no longer a secret. Those well-informed people in the Cato region know that in every dark night, werewolves and vampires fight for territory under the night. At the beginning, the werewolves were few in number and could only passively take the beating, but as time went by, the size of the wolf pack also increased, and with the financial support of the Batasinn Chamber of Commerce, the werewolves had a clear advantage in equipment. Therefore, a large part of the territory of the Wolfsbane Clan in the present-day Cato region has been taken away by the Sons of Eris.

Although they are still at a disadvantage in numbers, there is no way around it. When werewolves were designed by the biologists of the Twilight Organization as "vampire killers", their various talents were created to restrain vampires.

Therefore, it is difficult to say whether this is the reason why Lady Laura, Countess Blackmane, is eager to regain her faction's territory on Greene Island. She seems to have realized that the Wolfsbane Clan's expansion in the Cato region will be hindered in the future, so she plans to plan to open a second "branch base" in advance.

"Ouch!!!"

Another desolate wolf howl sounded in the dark neighborhood. Amid the sound of falling raindrops, several werewolves swooped down from high above and beat up the wolf-griffon vampires who were trapped in the dark alley. After a crazy attack like wild beasts biting each other, the vampires of the wolf-griffon faction were quickly defeated.

They fled in panic, but after passing through a dark alley, they saw a strange werewolf wearing an old hunter's windbreaker blocking their way.

There is only one person on the other side!

This made the vampire, who was already showing signs of transforming into a vampire and was unconscious, pounce on them with a roar. Seeing them pounce on him, a smile appeared on old Marcus's ferocious face.

It lowered its body and moved its claws. As its claws popped out, the wolf claw wrist knives specially made for werewolves on its arms also popped out, making old Marcus look like he had grown four claws. What's even crazier is that the same claw blades also popped out from its feet.

Therefore, at the moment when the two sides crossed each other, several vampires were like being thrown into a storm of sharp blades.

At the first encounter, two vampires on the opposite side were killed at the moment when old Marcus's hunting hat flew up in the rain.

Seeing how brave the leader wolf was, the Sons of Eris that were chasing after it howled in excitement, and then chased after the vampire who was running around in a panic and started hacking at him.

For the wolves, hunting tonight was so exciting!

Right in the base camp of the Wolfsbane Clan, right in the city of vampires, they hunt vampires wantonly, steal their territories, and crush their honor. Well, this is the life that wolves should have.

"Your tail is wagging to the sky, old Marcus. Do you still have the nerve to call yourself a wolf instead of a dog?"

Count Laura's disgusted voice sounded from not far away, causing Marcus, who was returning to his human form, to snort.

These two people both make a living in the Kato area and have dealt with each other many times. They are not friends at all. If they did not have a common enemy at this time, they would have turned and wrestled with each other after a glance.

It’s a shame to say that Count Laura, as a golden man, definitely crushes old Marcus in terms of individual strength, but unfortunately, old Marcus and his werewolf brothers are really close to each other.

Not only does he have the protection of a protective wolf father like Old Su, but even his own elder Eris has now made a name for himself in the star realm.

Once Eris signs the Frontier Pact and becomes a member of the new gods, the rise of the werewolves, its only tribe, on the continent will be a foregone conclusion. Although the vampires also have the strong appearance of the Midnight Twins, there are differences in closeness between vampire clans after all.

The Blood Eagle Clan took the lion's share, while the Wolfsbane Clan could only get a small amount of power gifts.

Fortunately, however, Count Laura was favored by the Night Singer. Perhaps it was because Laura, the flat-chested, blonde female wolf leader, was one of the few "wise men" in the Wolfsbane Clan who could use her brain?
"Come on, your master is calling you."

Laura said to old Marcus, who picked up the hunting hat:
"Murphy has locked on to Cecilia's location. As long as we kill her, everything will be over."

"End? No no no, Laura, you are such an idiot."

Old Marcus sneered and said:
"Even if Cecilia dies, the territory she seized will not all belong to you. You still have several 'brothers' eyeing you covetously. The weak wolf pack under your command can't even protect the Cato region. Do you still expect your brothers who have been hiding their strength to give you the 'dragon's birthplace' of the Wolfsbane Clan, Gnilin Island?

You worked hard to reach a cooperation with Lord Murphy's warriors, but there are many people who want to reap the benefits!

Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why most of the Wolfsbane members in this city were withdrawn after old Edward was assassinated. Obviously, your brothers have begun to gather their strength and are ready to compete for the throne of the Grand Duke, while you are still foolishly trying to restore the glory of Wolfsbane.

In my opinion, you are now at the most dangerous moment.
If no one rescues you, I'm afraid that it won't be long before your mutilated body appears in some corner of Green Island.

I have heard that old Lord Edward's way of managing you is very rough. He believes in the cruel survival of the fittest. Naturally, don't expect your father to favor any of you in this "competition for the Midnight Wolf King".

Although in my opinion, the weak Wolfsbane Clan is not qualified to use the name of "Wolf". You are a bunch of trash who deserve to be slaughtered by us!"

"Oh?"

Count Laura is a scheming leader of the Wolfsbane faction.

She did not lose her mind because of old Marcus's sarcasm. On the contrary, she tasted a very special meaning from old Marcus' words.

As the two of them jumped onto the roof one after the other and headed towards the Wolfsbane Gathering Hall in the city's underground, Laura whispered:
"You want to cooperate with me? Tell me your terms!"

"readily!"

Old Marcus did not hide anything. As the leader of the werewolves chosen by Eris, this werewolf leader who escaped from the laboratory was definitely a wise character. He slowed down his pace so that he could run side by side with Laura, and then whispered:
"The territory of the Cato region belongs to us!"

"You wish. I can only give you one third at most."

"Half! The woodland from Fort Dorold to Frederick House belongs to us, and the rest is yours."

The werewolf bared his teeth and said:

"In exchange, my wolf pack will not attack your territory on Greene Island, and your brothers will become our primary targets!"

"Snapped"

The bricks and stones beneath Laura's feet were crushed.

Count Blackmane looked at Old Marcus angrily and scolded:
"Damn it! Taking over the Cato region isn't enough? You're also trying to get your hands on Greene Island? Aren't you afraid of dying of overeating with such a big appetite?
Do you have enough people?
Don't think I don't know, Marcus, you have less than 3,000 men under your command, and you can't control such a large territory at all."

“Numbers were never an issue.”

Marcus grinned and said:
"I have to thank the Misty Sea Trading Company for the 'miracle' they created in Kafhoka. Now there are many people in that damn place who want to make a living. The more chaotic the place is, the more valuable power is.

Don't get so excited, Laura.

You see, if we can coexist peacefully in the Cato region, it means we can also divide the world in Green Island.

If the cooperation goes smoothly enough and all your brothers are killed, the territory you can get will be much richer than the one you originally had. What's more, the Duchy of Capet does not reject your involvement, which means that the Wolfsbane Clan will truly return to the continent under your leadership.

No matter what, you will make a profit.

I don't deny that the fight and struggle between Wolfsbane and the Sons of Eris will last for a long time, and the loser will be eaten up by the winner, but you are an exception. You are a member of the Nightsinger's clan, and you are always qualified to migrate to the Vampire Dynasty after failure. Other Wolfsbane Counts do not have this.

So, you want to cooperate?

Let’s first team up to kill those idiots who want to take advantage of the situation, and then we can decide the winner!

make a deal? "

Count Laura had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Her rather neutrally dressed figure rushed along in the rainy night until she was about to reach her destination. She stopped and stood on the eaves under the night sky, turned around and said to Marcus:
"Deal! But I have a request. The network of relations at the Batasinn Chamber of Commerce must be open to us. Ah, the times are advancing. After I take power, the Wolfsbane Clan must also hurry up to upgrade its armaments."
