A baby dragon has built a nest outside the Novice Village

Chapter 68 War
A carriage was moving, with a coat of arms on it, indicating that it was a nobleman's carriage.

This carriage did not encounter any inspection or obstruction during this journey. The soldiers at the checkpoints would consciously let the carriage pass when they saw the emblem and the middle-aged wizard in the carriage.

The carriage turned onto a mountain road. This path was trampled by mountain woodcutters and hunters, and few carriages passed by, let alone such a noble carriage.

"If we keep going along this road, we will reach the area controlled by Sagat City."

The middle-aged wizard said to another passenger in the carriage.

The passenger was wrapped tightly, his face was pale, and he held a sword handle tightly in his arms.

"There's no checkpoint on this road, so I won't accompany you."

The wizard opened the door and the driver stopped the carriage.

“Oh, Viscount Celes… No, His Majesty the King has stripped you of your viscount title.

There was a hint of sarcasm in the mage's words.

"Remember to remind your master, don't forget his promise."

"The things will be delivered to the Earl's residence tonight."

The wizard nodded, satisfied with the answer he got, and jumped off the carriage.

"cut."

Celes curled her lips in the carriage.

"You're not going to take the bloodline anymore, but are going to seek those cheap ways to prolong your life."

Now, the lord of this territory does not have a close cooperative relationship with Lannick. He is not willing to become a blood heir, but only asks for some life-extending methods prepared for mortals in the Dark Dynasty.

These methods were "rewards" prepared for mortals in management at that time, allowing them to serve their vampire masters longer.

But humans are just humans after all. Celes has completely regarded himself as a member of that dark dynasty. No matter how high a position humans hold, they will always be pariahs in that dynasty.

"If he becomes a blood heir, he will have a chance to be transformed into a real vampire in the future. Unfortunately..."

Celes felt sorry for the lord here.

In his eyes, his master will surely win and revive the dynasty, and then they, the blood descendants, will be transformed into real vampires one by one and become the rulers of this land.

The carriage shook violently, shaking Celes out of his reverie.

No matter what the future holds, he can only escape back to Sagat City like a rat in a sewer, through these unknown and dilapidated paths.

Outside the city of Sagat, teams of mercenaries and goblins were moving in the shadows.

After another troop from Sagat was transferred to attack the town of Pala, they received orders from Lannia.

Now these shadow crows and goblins have split into small teams and are marching stealthily towards the city of Sargert.

In pursuit of speed and concealment, they did not carry any baggage or heavy siege weapons. Each person only had food, weapons and water with him.

"No one can be let go."

In such a large-scale raid, it is definitely impossible for all teams to remain hidden and undetected throughout the entire process.

Occasionally, one or two teams would run into a patrol of undead that appeared out of nowhere.

This is what is happening below France and Switzerland.

The Shadow Crow rangers raised their crossbows and shot down the flare in the hand of the last undead.

The Wanderers outflanked the Undead from behind, cutting off their retreat, while the Goblins and Shadow Crow warriors advanced from the front.

"All solved, keep moving forward."

In just ten minutes, this undead patrol was wiped out. The Shadow Crows even dragged the undead corpses into the nearby grass and bushes and gave them a simple camouflage.

By the time other undead discovered the corpses, the group of shadow crows had already gone far away.

"Is there any problem in Pala Town?" Fari looked at Savrina beside him. They were circling in the air, waiting for the troops to arrive and then launch a raid on Sagat City together.

Fari is a little worried about the situation in Pala.

There was only one incomplete company of Shadow Crows there. Even with the addition of the local militia, it would be difficult to resist so many undead spirits.

The situation in the town of Pala is indeed not good.

"Your Highness, the second section of the east city wall has been breached."

Lanya glanced at the staff officer beside her.

"Let the Raven Guard lead the charge."

There are now less than five hundred original Shadow Crows left in the city.

The soldiers on the front line on the city wall were all new recruits who had been recruited not long ago and had not yet completed all their training.

Thanks to the fact that they were facing the Undead, these recruits had no chance of surrender.

After some sharp-eyed recruits saw familiar faces among the undead on the opposite side, they knew what would happen to them if they were defeated.

This allowed the town of Pala to hold out a little longer.

But this situation couldn't last long. Lania looked outside the headquarters, where several Level 7 warriors lay dead.

These powerful humans who defected to the Undead led the Undead to force their way through the city gate and rushed to Lannia, attempting to carry out a decapitation operation.

They would have succeeded if they hadn't misjudged Bryan's strength.

But even this failed decapitation cost Shadow Crow the lives of seven Raven Guards, and Brian was injured and was receiving treatment, temporarily unable to participate in the battle.

"The Skitarii are already on a forced march and will arrive in two days."

The shadow crows not far away rushed onto the city wall and temporarily blocked the gap, but dozens of black spots appeared in the sky in the distance and were flying towards the city.

"hidden!"

Lanya quickly fell to the ground. The black sky in the sky gradually became larger, revealing a pile of corpses.

A corpse fell not far in front of Lanya. She could clearly see the corpse twisting and expanding rapidly, and then exploded with a bang.

Lanya felt something wet and sticky on her body. She stood up, pulled it off her body and threw it on the ground.

It was a section of human intestine.

In the past, when Lanya saw such a scene, her stomach would have churned a little, but now, she seemed to be in a strange state, and other things could not stir up any ripples in her heart.

From the corner of her eye, Lannia saw two violent explosions on the city wall.

"Let the Second Battalion of the Third Militia Regiment take over."

All the living and undead on that section of the wall were blown away by the explosion, and the entire section of the wall was cleared out in an instant.

"Your Highness, the Second Battalion just withdrew for rest last night. Their current manpower rate is only 40%."

Brian beside him also stood up.

"How about I take Shadow Crow up there and plug the hole first, then..."

Brian only received simple treatment for his injuries, and now he is unable to exert his full strength.

"No, Shadow Crow must get as much rest as possible, and let the Second Battalion go."

The messenger took a step forward and ran towards the barracks in the distance where the troops were being repaired.

"Hold on a little longer. The losses of these undeads are much greater than ours. If we hold on a little longer, they won't be able to maintain this offensive forever."

Lania muttered to herself, and it was unclear whether she was trying to encourage the soldiers around her or to strengthen her own resolve.
