Blood Dragon

The rider read the letter and handed it to a companion.Then, while stroking the falcon on his arm, he looked at the city in the distance and said, "The city of Oren seems to be finished. Her Royal Highness, the Queen Mother, won the bet."

"Indeed," replied the other companion. "We can start to write a reply letter for the Queen Mother now. Think about it, our letter will be quoted in history books like 'The Fall of Oren City', and we can be regarded as famous in history, haha Ha ha……"

"Well, I think the rumor of vampires, this paragraph is not suitable... too mysterious rumors..."

"It's okay, delete this paragraph. Anyway, it's just a deadly unsubstantiated rumor! We are only responsible for reporting what we have seen."

……

Carl held the sword and stumbled into the basement of the Great Temple.

It's over, it's over.The whole city was full of crying and flames.The green skins are like a wave of destruction, which has completely submerged the city at this moment.Karl gathered some people around the Great Temple just now, and won a meaningless small victory in the counterattack.But soon the greenskins of the brigade came after hearing the news, and destroyed Karl's last resistance with the superiority in numbers.

Karl is now beginning to regret why he didn't practice magic well.If he can use magic proficiently, maybe he still has a chance to kill.However, if someone advised him to practice magic more two years ago, he would probably have sneered and even retorted back with great reason: "There are so many mages in the church, if the situation is so bad that the archbishop needs to cast spells, then the situation is also There is no hope."

But this is just an excuse.Practicing magic is boring and exhausting, so where is the fun of hanging out with women and drinking wine?He is sincerely regretting it now, but unfortunately, there is no such thing as regret medicine in any world.

Is it safe here for now?This is the underground of the Great Temple. It was originally a natural cave, but it was accidentally discovered when digging the basement, so it was naturally used.Even the origin of all these disasters, the antimatter engine is placed here.

Carl can only pray that he can stay here for a while now.Although he knew that the green skins would definitely come, he was already too tired, his body was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to move.

Unfortunately, fate seems to be against him.Carl didn't even catch his breath when he saw a group of green skins walk into the basement, swaggering in from the front.

There are not many green skins, less than ten, and the leader is a big orc.Seeing Karl sitting on the ground covered in blood, the orc leader roared, and a group of his men immediately rushed forward.

Carl reluctantly swung his sword to fight.He is not a skilled warrior, let alone a skilled magician.But this does not mean that five or six orcs can defeat him.He jumped into the middle of the greenskins, unleashing a flurry of haphazard but swift strikes.

Like all miracles that happen to those who have no other way out and desperate to fight, death just passed him by.Cal's cloak was better than the heavy armor, helping him to offset a large part of the damage, but after all the greenskins fell, his arms, neck, and legs began to bleed.

He was looking forward to defeating this last boss as he had defeated the other greenskins.But this fantasy didn't last long. When he stabbed the sword, the target suddenly disappeared, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the other party was already close to him.Then a violent blow hit him in the stomach, making his eyes dim with stars.

More blows followed.Each hit is heavy and precise, giving him more giddiness and pain, eventually knocking him unconscious.

I don't know how long it took, when Karl came to his senses, he found himself lying on his back on the ground.A powerful foot stepped on his chest, but that foot did not belong to the green orc.

He looked up his feet and saw the face of a vampire etched with rage and hatred.

"Archbishop Karl. Tell me, who can't see the sun of tomorrow?"

The foot on Carl's chest was painful, but it also gave him a burst of joy.The vampire didn't kill him?Yes, the vampire knows who he is!He won't be killed easily because he's valuable... valuable...

Then he saw the vampire take out a bottle.

"Remember this drug?" the vampire beckoned to him, and Cal recognized that it was his accidental stimulant.This thing is really only for occasional use, because any woman who has used this thing will not live for a few days.But that's only for ordinary humans. For Carl, it's just a stimulant with almost no side effects. "I found it in your secret room. It's really dereliction of duty if you don't hide such a precious medicine properly!"

The distorted smile on the vampire's face was like the death angel in the mythology, and Karl suddenly realized the other party's plan.He tried to struggle, but the vampire knelt down, choking Karl's arm with his knee and the crook of his arm.Accompanied by a sharp pain and the crisp sound of snapping joints, Carl's arm was completely twisted.But this is just the beginning.Carl didn't even have time to scream out of his pain, and his body was turned over immediately.All his limbs were twisted by the vampire one by one.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's just interest." The vampire turned Carl over again, facing the sky.

"I know it's just an ordinary stimulant to you." The vampire held the bottle up to Carl's face so he could see clearly. "But that refers to normal consumption. Do you know if this thing is injected directly into your body... into your flesh and blood, or even into your spinal cord and brain... what will happen? Don't worry, I won't kill you." For you, at least not for the time being! For you, I have specially prepared this kind of thing..."

Under Karl's trembling eyes, the vampire took out a thin tube with an unusually sharp end. It was a special piercing tool. I don't know where the vampire got it.When Karl recalled what the vampire said just now, his face turned ashes.

"Last summer, you violently administered this drug to a woman!" the vampire continued.

Karl didn't answer, he licked his ashen lips, his eyes dimmed with pain and fear.His muscles twisted painfully like ropes along his body.

"To you, other people are just insignificant, ready to die to please you at any time. Because you are more powerful, stronger, and more powerful. According to your logic, it is only natural for the weak to sacrifice for the strong, and you There will be no anxiety or regret." The vampire said calmly. "But now, your city has been destroyed by me, your power and your army have been reduced to smoke. You have no power other than yourself, and your power is too weak in front of me. I know that you will not repent for what you have done, because in your eyes, the creatures in this world are as humble as ants. So, I don't want to listen to your confession, I don't need your explanation. I have conquered you now , I am much stronger than you, and you will use all the rest of your life to please me. Use every second of fear and pain in the rest of your life!"

When the vampire wanted to do something, Karl let out an inhuman cry full of pain and despair.

……

Ashuruffat stopped his mount.Nightmare horses are much better than those wild boars, at least they will never be stubborn.The city of Oren was still burning in the night sky in the distance, and the greenskins were doing everything they wanted to do as conquerors, indulging in the ecstasy of victory and plunder, and they didn't even realize that their boss was gone.

It's no wonder that the discipline of the green skins itself is very chaotic. After the victory, everyone is busy with the matter at hand, and they don't even think of such incredible things as "the boss is gone" in their simple heads.It's normal that the boss can't be found for a while, he must be busy in a corner of the city with a few boys.

"Master, you have won!" Carrie said happily in her mind. "The task was successfully completed, and the antimatter engine was completely scrapped."

"But I don't feel any joy of victory." Ashuruffat stared at the still burning city.Did he really win?Why didn't he feel any sense of victory in his heart? "Is this really my victory? Or just the greenskins' victory?"

"Victory is victory! Master, your words are too illogical." Carrie retorted. "You have won this crucial battle. If Master Qin Xin is still alive, he will definitely be happy for your achievement. You must know that you not only destroyed an important item of them, but also wiped out one of them , really worthy of being my master."

"I just feel...I just feel..." Ashuruffat wanted to answer, but found himself unable to answer.He could only look back lonely.

"Master, you are feeling lonely. It may be because you have been with the green skins for too long."

"Is it... lonely...?"

"Well, no matter what...we still follow the original plan to find the surviving one of your kind. Anyway, he is the last of your kind. It is necessary to meet him. If possible, It's better to have a companion than to be alone."

"He didn't die in the Battle of Kalyan... Could it be that he was a deserter?"

"No, not necessarily. The battlefield is ever-changing, who knows. But you are right to say that you can defeat them. Although they are of the same kind, they may be your most dangerous enemy if you don't manage well. By the way, look at our trophies. Get the bag out."

Ashurfat took out his pocket as he said, and poured out three things from it.That was Roll's sword, Undine's head, and Carl's cloak.All three were left on Carrie's suggestion.

The sword and cloak are fine, but Undine's head is full of strange shiny things, Ashuruffat has no time to deal with it.But this time he could search carefully.

"Master... see that shiny piece of metal inside? That's the database chip, you dig that thing out, be careful, don't break it... and this, that thing that looks like a shiny ball, that's Wide-area detection device! You have to be careful with this one, don’t break it...cut, several other components are damaged...the control chip...this one is probably okay, keep it...the others seem useless, throw them away .”

Ashurfate did as he said, and in a blink of an eye, he left a few small and weird things in his hands.He could see that this thing was terribly detailed, and it was impossible to imagine that such a thing could be manufactured.

"What are these for?" Ashuruffat asked.

"It's no use at the moment..." Carrie answered. "Interface device is required. But you'd better save it, maybe someday you'll come across an interface that works."

"What..." Ashuruffat wanted to complain, but after thinking about it, let it go.After all, this thing is not big, just throw it in the travel bag.

"Let's set off, Master. Embark on our new journey." In her mind, Carrie announced loudly with vigor.

"I'm sorry." Ashuruffat said in a low voice, looking at the lone grave not far away.Last summer, he personally buried a copy of the ashes here. "I can't laugh yet, but when I can, I will definitely come back and sing a song for you. Just as I promised."

He put on the cloak, and shouted into the distance: "Mimilu!" Then, his scout rushed through the bushes at a fast speed and jumped onto the back of the nightmare horse. superior.

"Mimilu, let's go." Ashuruffat said to Mimilu behind him.

"Master, no problem, Mimilu is ready."

……

In a brightly lit room, Yilan was sitting on a chair, staring ahead.In front of her, there was a scene playing, it was a scene of fighting.

There was a sound of opening the door from behind, and someone walked behind Yilan, but Yilan didn't look back.

"Yilan, are you still watching? It's true... defeating Undine, it's amazing, no wonder Karl is finished. But you've watched it enough times. Someone outside asks you, Karl is dead, what should you do next ?”

"What should I do? What else can I do? Continue with the original plan! Just change the agent. I said earlier that Karl is a waste, and it doesn't make any sense to be dead or alive, and it would be better if he died."

"But he is one of us after all..."

"Although that guy makes me feel more disgusted. A guy who hasn't even finished his basic education can actually make do with us..." Yilan replied without raising her head.

"Hope you know what you're doing." The visitor shrugged. "Because of your body, the committee is very accommodating to you, but this time it is indeed a failure. The antimatter engine is finished. Although it is a chicken rib, it will still make many people dissatisfied."

"I know what I'm doing." Yilan pressed a switch on the table.The scene just started from the beginning, it was a battle scene shot from Undine's perspective.The picture was taken very carefully, every move of Ashuruffat, and even every subtle expression on his face was clearly seen.Yilan pressed a certain switch, and the picture was still. That was the movement of Ashuruffat swinging his sword for the last time, and the central yang in the picture was exactly his firm eyes and indomitable momentum at that moment.

"How handsome..." Yilan lazily rested her face in her hands. "It's heartwarming..." she whispered to herself.
