Chapter 169 Twilight Guard
Although all the vampires who attacked the Vigilant Hall were wiped out, the Vigilant Hall was completely destroyed by fire, and all the vigilantes in the Vigilant Hall were killed.
This also means that this organization is basically... finished.
"My condolences and acceptance."
Walking to the vigilant's side, Duanmu Huai reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, while the vigilant turned his head and looked at Duanmu Huai with a wry smile.
"I really didn't expect it to be like this... However, this also shows that these vampires are indeed preparing some plan. Otherwise, they would not dare to attack the Hall of Vigilance at all..."
"So, do you have any other good suggestions now?"
"There is only one choice."
Thinking of this, the vigilante clenched his fists.
"Let's go find the Twilight Guard."
"Twilight Guard?"
"Yes... they were once part of the Vigilante organization, but the two sides have different philosophies. The Twilight Guards only focus on hunting vampires, and believe that vampires are the number one threat to mankind. But the Vigilantes believe that vampires are just One of the many threats that humans face... If it is related to vampires, then the Twilight Guards will definitely know something."
"Then...what are you waiting for? Let's go."
The Twilight Guard's stronghold is located in a valley called Spring Canyon. Although according to the vigilantes, the Twilight Guard is quite poor, but when Duanmuhuai and Gu Leiya saw the huge castle located in the canyon... ……
Hmm...Compared with the shabby vigilante hall before, this place is more like a place.
In the castle, the three of them soon met the leader of the Twilight Guard, a bald old man named Ishiran.
However, when faced with the arrival of the vigilante, he didn't seem to like seeing him very much.
"Gu Lei, what are you doing here? I have nothing to do with the vigilante for a long time."
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Ishiran, the Hall of Vigilance has been attacked by vampires. It has been completely destroyed. Many people have died..."
"The Hall of the Vigilant was attacked?"
Hearing this, Ishiran's originally disgusted expression suddenly changed. He first stared at the vigilante for a long time, and then turned his attention to Duanmu Huai and Gu Leiya. When he saw the armor paint on Duanmu Huai's body, , a trace of doubt appeared in the old man's eyes, but soon, he coughed and got over the embarrassment.
"So...who are they?"
"They are adventurers and are quite powerful. I was once caught by a vampire trying to perform some kind of dirty ritual, but this Iron Warrior completely eliminated dozens of vampires and undead by himself. If not If he saved me and destroyed the ritual, I don’t know what those vampires will do now..."
Soon, the vigilant explained the information he had obtained to the latter, and then he stared at Ishiran.
"I admit that the Vigilantes did not take the idea of the Twilight Guards to heart before, but now, they have paid the price. The vampires collected artifacts, tried to perform evil and blasphemous rituals, and even attacked the Hall of the Vigilantes. All of this All indicate that they must have some conspiracy! We must stop this completely. The Twilight Guard knows the situation about vampires best. I think you should know some clues."
"………………"
Facing the vigilant's words, Ishiran was silent for a moment, and then nodded.
"As for the clues, it's not completely absent. As you said, these vampires have become more and more active recently. Not only the vigilantes, but also the Twilight Guards have been attacked by them. In fact, we don't have too many clues. Intelligence, at present, there is only one clue that can be determined.”
Saying this, Yi Shiran took out a piece of paper from his arms.
"According to the information we have received, there is currently a group of vampires located in a dark cave outside Morning Star City. Legend has it that they are looking for some ancient vampire artifact there. Although I don't know if this is the clue you are looking for, at least for now Let's see...they must have some conspiracy."
"A dark cave, right...I know, I'm going now!"
Hearing this, the vigilant turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Ishiran.
"Gu Lei, I don't recommend that you go. You vigilantes have not been trained... If you go there rashly, you will only die."
"So, do you want me to hide here, trembling and waiting for the end to come?"
"Of course not..."
"We can go together."
Duanmuhuai interrupted the quarrel between the two.
"It doesn't matter if there is one more person anyway."
"That's what I said..."
Facing Duanmuhuai's proposal, Yishiran was silent for a moment and nodded. "Well, the Twilight Guard is currently short of manpower, and we don't have enough power to investigate, so I'll leave it to you, this... Iron Warrior and his followers."
Although Gu Lei wanted to set off as soon as possible, his body seemed a little tired from running around for several days. Finally, under Duanmu Huai's persuasion, Gu Lei decided to rest in this castle for one night before setting off again.
Duanmu Huai was not idle either. In fact, he had been chatting with Gu Lei while eating, mainly asking about the vigilante. This made Gu Leya quite confused. After dinner, when Gu Lei went to rest, Gu Leya also found Duanmu Huai and curiously asked her question.
"Mr. Knight, you seem to care about the appearance of the vigilante?"
"Of course, I have a plan...well...it's not confirmed yet."
The plan Duanmu Huai mentioned was naturally a recruitment plan to expand his army.
Basically, all Inquisitors have their own recruiting planets. Each Inquisitor's Chapter Astartes recruits men from these places, then transforms them into Astartes warriors.
In Manalia and the Holy City, Duanmuhuai did not think of recruiting troops because it was not suitable there. But after arriving here, Duanmu Huai discovered that this continent was very suitable as a recruiting location for his war group.
First of all, the people of this continent are tough and there are many tough men.
Secondly, the level of civilization here is not high and is more suitable for control.
However, Duanmu Huai didn't really want to recruit living people. After all, he didn't have gene seeds or mechanical priests, so he couldn't transform ordinary people into Astartes. But on the other hand, there are spiritual beings in this continent, so... it will be much easier to handle!
Duanmu Huai's idea is to set up an organization on this continent, and then recruit adventurers and warriors on this continent to fight. If they die in battle, their souls will be included in the legion and become something like the Night Guard. The Ghost Squadron.
The appearance of the vigilant just gave Duanmu Huai a flash of inspiration. From what I heard from Gu Lei, the Vigilante organization is very similar to the Inquisition. Their target is all inhuman aliens and followers of the evil god in the entire sky. It happened that the vigilantes' nest here was overrun by vampires, so Duanmuhuai wanted to rebuild a similar organization as his own recruiting base.
It's just that... this has to be negotiated with a god, otherwise those ghosts might be taken away by someone.
There happens to be a statue of Standal here, so let's talk to it.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai picked up the holy elephant placed on the altar and said hello to Gu Leiya.
"I'm going back to my room first. No matter what happens, don't come in."
"Ah, okay..."
Watching Duanmu Huai return to her room, Gu Leiya nodded blankly, then she sat on the chair outside obediently, picked up a book and started reading.
However, not long after, suddenly...a loud noise suddenly erupted.
"Boom!!"
A loud noise like thunder reverberated throughout the castle. At the same time, Gu Leiya saw the door of the guest room suddenly being knocked away by a powerful force, and then she saw Duanmuhuai walking out of it with a disgraced face.
“Damn………………!!”
"What's wrong with you? Mr. Knight? Are you okay!"
Seeing Duanmuhuai coming out, Gu Leiya hurriedly put down the book in her hand and came to Duanmuhuai's side. The latter coughed twice and then threw the statue of Standal out.
"Fortunately... Damn, that old guy..."
Recalling the exchange with Standal just now, Duanmu Huai was also unhappy. At the beginning, he did connect to Standal's "communication channel" by injecting spiritual energy into the icon. The God of Justice and Mercy is quite easy to talk to, although at first he regarded Duanmu Huai as a demon invading his own domain, which made Duanmu Huai quite unhappy...
Look, I look like a demon, I'm obviously a human!
But after that, the two broke down. Standal refused Duanmu Huai's request for him to provide heroic spirits, and said that those warriors had fought against evil during their lifetimes and should enjoy peace after death instead of fighting. Of course, in the final analysis, Standal's meaning is to look down on Duanmuhuai and think his idea is too naive...
Hey, you are not the Chaos Evil God, you are just a soul reflection in the fragments of the world, why should you look down on me? And this fragment of the world still belongs to me!
This is simply like the player being despised by the NPC in his own sandbox game. Can this be tolerated?
So Duanmu Huai stopped talking and stepped away decisively.
I originally thought that we should discuss it carefully. Since you look down on me, I will stop playing with you. When the time comes, I will go to the Annihilation Realm to kill a few demon gods and become the boss myself!
Without Butcher Wang, would we still be eating pigs with hair on them?
Talos can become a god, so can I!
When the time comes, let’s see who among us has the bigger fist!
