Chapter 317 Have to fight
"Oh ho——"
William cheered loudly as he walked through Earl Tudor's camp.
He transformed into a bloody whirlwind, traveling endlessly between tents, knocking over every brazier he could see, and watching the tents connect together in the flames and turn into a sea of fire.
Due to William's focus on the officers, the soldiers who lost their command were screaming, running, and spreading panic, completely unaware of what was happening.
Only a few well-trained guys are organizing firefighting, but they will soon become William's rations.
This is simply William's best playground!
During this time, he was almost going crazy.
Sighing that the high wall battle failed to work due to time constraints.
Now, it's finally time for him to show off.
As a vampire, the night is naturally his stage, and almost no one can pose a threat to him here.
And he can also let go of his previously restricted appetite and drink the blood of his enemies without having to worry about being punished by Raven!
How many people has he killed today?
I don’t know, and there’s no need to count.
Who cares how many slices of bread they eat in one meal?
However, he remembered all the extraordinary beings killed by William, and now there are four of them.
Extraordinary blood is full of life energy and is always especially sweet and delicious.
"Go to hell, devil!!"
A tall knight rushed towards William.
A bunch of garlic hung around his neck, and the Holy Emblem of the Lord of Light was affixed to his chest. He held a shield in his right hand and a long mahogany sword that looked like a temporary cut in his left hand.
It jingles as it runs.
The golden fighting spirit ignited on the peach wood sword - this was actually a knight of light.
"Oh, that's so thoughtful." William smiled exaggeratedly and clapped his hands: "Did you bring me supper, tableware and condiments?"
"But if you light your candle so brightly, it's a bit of a waste."
The knight seemed to be angered by William's contemptuous attitude. He howled and slashed down with the wooden sword in his hand.
William suddenly spiraled and appeared behind the knight while avoiding the sword edge. A sharp claw protruded from the bloody whirlwind and touched the knight's throat:
"Do you have any last words? I can help you take care of your unmarried sister at home, or take care of your fiancée who is waiting for you to get married back home."
"Go to hell—" the knight shouted violently, fighting energy flowing from his body, and he was suddenly covered in a layer of golden fighting energy armor.
It turned out to be a second-level knight.
"Ouch——" William yelled and backed away, saying loudly:
"Oh! My God, you actually have such scheming and calculations. Is it possible that my noble Lord William, Viscount of the Blood Tribe, is going to die here!?"
Then he laughed again, made a face, and showed his intact palm: "I lied to you, how could you hurt me?"
"But I can't wait for the blood of the second-order light knight!"
"If you have the ability, come and get it!" the knight shouted loudly, with fighting spirit pulsing around his body:
"Remember, it is the second-level light knight Lancha who purifies you!"
As he spoke, he raised the wooden sword in his hand high, and a rich golden stream of light gathered in it, and then it soared into the sky!
The golden light unfolded, turned into a long sword, and crashed down towards William's head!
"Lighting Judgment!"
"Be judged, devil!"
William raised his eyebrows slightly.
The second-level combat skill of Light Judgment not only requires light fighting spirit, but also requires devout faith in the Lord of Light to be used.
It seems that this is a holy knight of the Holy See of Light.
But hasn’t Thomas already reached an agreement with his master that the Light Church will not get involved in this war?
Strange things.
There was a burst of heat above his head, and William knew that he had been firmly locked by this combat technique. He nodded:
"As a second-level vampire, it's not bad to have such ability. If it were another third-level vampire, he might really be injured."
"It's a pity that it's me you met today!"
As he spoke, he raised his wrist, and a trace of blood seeped out from his palm, suddenly exploding into a bloody vortex.
Attracted by the vortex, the dead bodies next to them began to twitch. Clumps of blood mist rose from their bodies, gathered in William's palm, and turned into a dagger as thick as a finger.
Holding the dagger in his hand, William raised it high and struck it impartially against the golden blade falling from the sky!
Boom——
Compared to the sharp blade, the bloody dagger was like a baby standing in front of a two-meter-tall strong man.
But at the moment of contact, thick blood burst out from the dagger.
Gold and scarlet exploded together, like a hot iron ball smashing into the sea of blood!
The smell of blood filled the air.
The blood light and golden light complement each other, making everything around them seem chaotic and inexplicable.
It also made William's originally handsome and delicate face look ferocious and terrifying!
The brilliance of the sword became weaker and weaker.
It was as if the sun was about to die being pushed into the western mountains by the clouds.
The knight encouraged his fighting spirit, continuously strengthened the power of his combat skills, and continued to pray to the Lord of Light.
"Justice will surely defeat evil..."
"Wherever the sharp blade of the Mortal Lord comes..."
“The righteous shall be under His light—poof!!!!”
The sharp sword that condensed all his energy and fighting spirit suddenly shattered and turned into stardust all over the sky.
Bloody light rose into the sky, as if cutting the sky, and then slowly disappeared.
The knight knelt on one knee, thick blood gushing out from his mouth. His internal organs had been injured by the surging fighting spirit.
William flew in front of the knight. The knight waved his mahogany sword in vain, but William knocked him away.
The sharp claws pierced the knight's armor and penetrated deep into the neck, injecting a light cyan poison from an angle invisible to outsiders.
As the poison spread, the knight twitched a few times, and finally fell asleep due to excessive consumption and unable to resist the effects.
For thousands of years, the vampires used this toxin to hunt blood slaves.
"Put him down!"
What followed the sound was a dark glow of fighting spirit, which was still difficult to distinguish even when surrounded by firelight.
This fighting spirit came towards William's arm, but before he could get close, William turned into black wind and grabbed the unconscious holy knight aside.
Fighting energy entered the tent next to it, causing the entire tent to collapse. Fire and dust rose into the sky.
"Yo, the sixth one!"
William turned around and smiled, and saw a knight covered in armor. Judging from the coat of arms on his chest, he should be a baron.
Being able to release fighting spirit to attack shows that he already has the third level of strength.
The extraordinary taste of the third level...
William licked his lips, a trace of greed rising in his heart, and he considered whether to take the time to hunt it down.
But at this moment, he saw a figure that he didn't want to see at this moment.
Tu Duo is walking slowly.
His arrival also means that the high-level supernatural beings in the camp are likely to gather here.
It's time to leave.
Having such a second-level light knight in hand is enough to explain to the master.
Blood can flow and wings rise behind it.
Under the full moon, William lifted Lancha's neck and slowly lifted into the sky:
"Ah, it's rare that the Earl is here too. I didn't expect you Eivor people to know etiquette so well." "Unfortunately, I am already full, so I can only refuse your kindness."
"I'll be here today, and I'll come again tomorrow!"
As he said that, he pulled up a bloody glow and flew away from the camp, leaving behind only a thick mist of blood and a corner of the camp in mess.
"Stop, devil!!" The third-level extraordinary shouted, about to chase William.
"Stop, that's enough, Bonta." Du Duo shouted to stop his men: "In this environment, you can't catch up with him. If you go out alone, you can only be played by him until you die."
Bonta turned back and argued eagerly: "But, sir! Lancha is your son!"
"I know." Du Duo's face was as green as iron: "That's why I can't sacrifice you for him!"
"Send the order, let the officers below the centurion commander appease the soldiers; all extraordinary people, gather in our military camp!"
The chaos caused by William was basically extinguished after three hours.
The losses of the soldiers were not great, less than 30 were killed directly by vampires, and more died from fires and trampling on each other in panic. Even so, there were less than 200.
A lot of tents were lost, more than 130 tents, but fortunately the logistics were sufficient and they could be replenished quickly.

But the extraordinary aspect is not so optimistic.
3 first-level extraordinarys, 2 second-level extraordinarys, and one of them is the son of the Earl.
Letting a vampire break into the camp, it was like entering an uninhabited land, and causing such losses, some of the officers present felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Some are deeply ashamed and angry because of shame.
Bonta complained with excitement: "Raven's methods are really too much. He even colluded with vampires. Can he be considered a noble like this!?"
"So what?" Although Du Duo's eyes were bloodshot and the dice he had been playing with had stopped in his palm, his words were still very reasonable:
"We have no evidence now. Even if we do, can the Keynesian Empire be allowed to punish Raven on this basis?"
Du Duo's words made everyone lower their heads.
"I'm not saying this to hurt you, but to tell you." Du Duo took a deep breath: "The only way to punish Raven is to defeat him head-on on the battlefield."
"Can't wait any longer!"
"Give me the order and organize an attack immediately after dawn!!"
Du Duo knew that his troops had just finished their march and had not fully rested. There was no time to build trebuchets and other killing equipment on the spot.
Now is not a good time to attack.
But if we don't attack now, it will only get worse later.
The appearance of vampires completely disrupted Duduo's cloth making.
The vampire was obviously taking orders from Raven, and was at least level 3. Only if he teamed up with Bonta or Kuili could he ensure that his voltage was stabilized.
As a result, unless all extraordinary beings gather in his tent, they will inevitably be hunted down by vampires one by one.
And if you really do this, you are allowing yourself to bleed and slowly lead to defeat.
Not to mention, the vampire's whereabouts are unpredictable, and the loss of morale caused by his nightly incursions into the camp cannot be ignored.
What's more important is that if a vampire finds out where he stores food and grass, and a fire breaks out, he may not even be able to save him!
"Those damn vampires!" Du Duo hammered the chair hard.
What he was talking about at this time was not William, but the priests of the Church of Light who had benefited a lot from him.
Du Duo's son is named Lancha. He was sent to the Church of Light by Du Duo to be trained since he was a child. He is loyal to the Lord of Light.
This time the Church of Light remained neutral in the war, and it was Lancha who took the initiative to join the army to share his father's worries.
As long as there is a level 3 priest around, vampires will not be so rampant.
"That's okay." Du Duo forced himself to calm down.
With the background of the Church of Light, Raven should not attack Lancha.
Time passed, and the night passed little by little, but the day did not come as expected.
The sky is full of clouds.
At the sound of the trumpet, the gate of Tu Duo's camp opened, and the troops slowly poured out and began to form an array with their backs against the camp wall.
The Boland Region is the richest region in the Principality of Eivor, and Du Duo's army is indeed worthy of being called the elite.
At the forefront is a phalanx of more than 3,000 heavily armored soldiers.
Both the left wing and the right wing have a strength of 8,000 people, with a full range of military configurations.
On the rear wing, there are also 6,000 long-range troops, mainly crossbows, supplemented by 2,000 archers.
A long-range projection power of this scale, as long as there is enough protection and enough attack time, is enough to fight against an enemy force several times larger than one's own.
And Lei Wen only had two legions in total, and now he divided his troops into 1,000 elite troops and went to the Bolan Gold Mine.
But Tudor did not underestimate Raven because of this.
"No wonder Wanda lost." Du Duo said calmly, looking at the Eagle Army several miles away.
The number of the Eagle Army was one-third of his army, but it only took less than one-fifth of their time to complete the camp, preparation, and formation.
It is also a standard infantry square formation, with 3,000 people on the left wing, 3,000 people on the right wing, and 1,000 elite heavy armor in the middle.
There is an extra square formation on the right side, which is a heavy cavalry with 500 full helmets and full armor, tightly pressing the corners of the formation.
That will also be the unit that poses the greatest threat to Tu Duo's army in this battle, besides the Wind King.
The Principality of Eivor does not produce good horses, nor does it have enough land to herd horses. The limited war horses can only be imported from the Nord Province or the Insa Empire in the north, making it difficult to form an organized cavalry.
"It seems that Raven did not build the wall of sighs by luck."
Being able to train his generals so neatly, even Du Duo felt a little inferior to himself. Looking at his formations, he didn't have the usual irritability of young nobles.
Indeed, this classic infantry square formation is not surprising, but the reason why it is a classic is because it is effective enough and is the optimal solution obtained in thousands of wars.
In the war history of Middles Continent, countless nobles who wanted to win by surprise invented various formations, but they only met with failure!
Before the battle, you can play outside moves and conspiracy tactics.
But on the battlefield, there is only upright collision and attack!
"March!"
The trumpet sounded in the air, and the armies of both sides began to advance forward almost simultaneously.
At this time, you can see the difference between the two sides.
Although Raven's troops were small, they almost moved in a straight line as they advanced, like a slowly advancing iron barrel.
Under Du Duo, the Chinese army's 3,000 elite troops were able to maintain their formation, while the two wings began to deform like waves.
The sound of heavy footsteps gradually spread until both troops could clearly see the patterns on the flags of the other side.
The black hawk battle flag representing the Griffith family fluttered in the wind, and Tudor's golden lion was about to pounce.
The distance between the two sides was now less than 400 meters.
But at this moment, Raven's troops suddenly stopped.
Could it be that Raven is preparing to attack with the Wind King?
However, the flying monsters in the sky did not report the news of the appearance of the Wind King. As far as the eye could see, there was no sign of the Wind King.
Even so, Du Duo ordered in time: "Let the long-range troops prepare for air attack!"
However, what happened next was far beyond Du Duo's expectations.
I saw Raven's Chinese army suddenly split open from the middle, and six carts were slowly pushed out.
Du Duo's pupils shrank:
"Enchanted Bed Crossbow!?"
