Original Vampire

At the end of October, Winter City can already clearly feel the approach of winter.

After three days of bitter rain, it turned into snowflakes on the fourth day.

On the fifth day, when the long-unseen sun finally got rid of the entanglement of the dark clouds and showed its head, Winter City has become a Snow and Ice World wrapped in silver and white.

But in the face of such a beautiful scenery, the residents of Winter City have no intention of admiring it.

Because most people are running out of food.

"Are there still no signs of falling food prices?"

In the study room in the atrium of Lion's Roar, Duke Saint Hild asked while adding firewood to the fireplace.

Behind the Duke, stood a middle-aged man with a friendly temperament.

He has a pair of sea-blue eyes, with waves of wisdom rolling in them.

The gray low ponytail was carefully combed and blown behind his head. He is well-dressed but not gorgeous, with a scroll of old scripts clasped around his waist, and white gloves on his left hand.

Dawn ·White.

The people at Lion's Roar all call him Bachelor Dawn.

Although the title of "Bachelor" is not a knighthood, it is also extremely precious.

Only those who have studied at the Imperial White Tower Academy and successfully graduated are eligible to use the title of bachelor.

The number of people graduating from White Tower Academy each year can be counted with one hand.

Therefore, every bachelor is the best candidate for courtiers, and it has naturally become the object of competition among the great lords.

"No." Bachelor Dawn shook the head, his expression full of worries, "In the past three months, the price of food in the north has increased more than 20 times!

This is definitely not just because of the crop failure caused by the troll invasion at the beginning of this year.

It's that some people are hoarding food and manipulating food prices!"

" The merchants that's all." Duke Saint Hild was full of disdain, "Issued the Duke Order to the major lords in the North, so that they can manage the merchants in the territory.

If the price of food in half a month is still high If not, don't blame me for killing people myself!"

"Yes." Bachelor Dawn nodded responded.

"Is the Golden Lion Legion's ration still enough?"

"If there is no large-scale war in the future, it is barely enough." Bachelor Dawn said this, hesitated. But I still reminded again:

"However, Lord Duke, I still recommend that you purchase another batch of military rations just in case."

I heard this, Duke Saint Hild His brows wrinkled.

He obviously also understands what Bachelor Dawn is worried about.

Famine is the easiest factor to trigger a rebellion.

So Duke Saint Hild immediately nodded and said: "Then go buy another batch."

"Okay. But the current food prices in the entire empire are a bit high, so, This time I’m afraid..."

"No matter how high the price, buy it for me!"

"Yes."

Duke Saint Hild went to the fireplace again A few sticks of firewood were thrown in.

Looking at the jumping flames, he suddenly asked, "Where is Black Cavalry now?"

Bachelor Dawn carefully looked at Duke Saint Hild’s face, but No obvious emotions can be seen from above.

"The latest news just came yesterday that Black Cavalry has left the northern border and entered the semi-elf kingdom."

"En." Duke Saint Hild nodded, but it was not right. Do any instructions here.

The tossing flames reflected in the deep eyes of the Duke, as if to show his uneasy heart.

When Bachelor Dawn saw this, he was about to leave, but he heard a majestic voice outside the castle:

"Duke Saint Hild, Otto, Prince of the North of the troll Empire Volkin, in the name of Murdoch Your Majesty's revenge, is here to propose a duel to you!"

bang!

A group of hot flames suddenly exploded in the fireplace.

Duke Saint Hild suddenly got up and looked up towards the window.

A troll warrior exuding terrifying aura is standing at the highest point of Roar, looking down at the guards who are constantly gathering below.

Looking at Duke Saint Hild who was about to go out, Bachelor Dawn hurriedly stepped forward to discourage: "My lord, it is said that Prince Otto has just been promoted to Sacred Domain!"

"That So what?" Duke Saint Hild's face didn't show any signs of shrinking. "Could I just hide in the roar fort and let him show off one's military strength outside?"

After that, The Duke no longer cared about Bachelor Dawn, who was stunned, and strode out.

——————————————

Semi-elf kingdom, southwest border.

Black Cavalry is camping here.

Marquis Garcia drank the broth, wiped his mouth at random, looked towards the Marquis Dawson beside him and asked: "In the first thirty miles, I should pass Shadow Canyon, right?"

"Yes, Lord Marquis." Marquis Dawson's attitude was as respectful as ever.

Even now he has been conferred the rank of Marquis and has sworn allegiance to Duke Saint Hild.

However, when Marquis Garcia called Black Cavalry to march into the semi-elf kingdom, the former Black Cavalry "Chief Steward" also came to help without the slightest hesitation.

"Send someone to take a closer look." Marquis Garcia instructed.

The Marquis of Dawson laughed, with a slight disapproval in his words: "My lord, this is a half-elf kingdom. What can be dangerous?"

"Be cautious, it's always right."

"Okay, I will make arrangements." Seeing Marquis Garcia insisted, Marquis Dawson nodded quickly.

……

The rest is over, and the army starts again.

Marquis Garcia rides a horse through Shadow Canyon, but there is some worry between his brows.

"Dawson, have you sent someone to explore this gorge carefully?"

"Lord Marquis, please rest assured. I have sent someone to explore it thoroughly. It is safe here. "

Marquis Garcia is nodded now, and move on.

But the farther you go, the more Marquis Garcia feels that something is wrong.

That kind of frightening feeling has been hanging over him, as if something bad is about to happen.

"Stop moving forward!" Finally, Marquis Garcia ordered.

"My lord, what's the matter? We're only halfway there." Marquis Dawson asked quickly.

"It's too quiet here!" Marquis Garcia's eyes were cold, as if he realized something.

Next moment, he decisively ordered: "Turn around! The rear army becomes the former army, the former army becomes the rear army, and the same way to withdraw from Shadow Canyon!"

"My lord..." Dawson The Marquis was puzzled, "You are..."

Marquis Garcia ignored him, insisting that the military commander go forward and pass the order immediately.

Just as the Black Cavalry started to change formation, a loud noise suddenly came from the canyon.

Boom!

Marquis Garcia turned his head suddenly and saw a dazzling flash of light burst out of the cliffs on both sides of the rear.

The terrifying Arcane energy resembles the brilliance of Heavenly Might, blasting off the hilltops on both sides of the canyon's center.

Countless broken boulders rolled down, smashing at Black Cavalry!

bang bang bang!

Screams and horse neighs resounded across the canyon instantly.

Marquis Garcia's face instantly changes incredibly pale.

And at the moment of being stunned, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist.

As soon as he turned his head, Marquis Garcia saw that his most trusted subordinate was inserting a dagger into his back waist.

"Frank Dawson! You traitor!"

In the face of Marquis Garcia's angry eyes, the Marquis Dawson took a step back and smiled calmly:

"Sorry, Lord Marquis, when my men explored this gorge before, they might not have been too careful."
