Chapter 224 The Counterattack of the Vampires
The land of the Western Continent is completely different from the other two continents.
Normal land is either yellow or black, but the Western Continent is red, and it is not red in the traditional sense. The land here is scarlet, and there is a smell of blood.
In the early years, the Western Continent did not look like this. Instead, it was a normal land like the other two continents. However, as the Blood Empire lasted longer, more and more vampires All over the continent.
Naturally, these lands have undergone some changes and become what they are now.
In fact, it’s normal.
Just like plants will grow in a comfortable environment and animals will choose a place with abundant food to stay, vampires will naturally choose a suitable place to live.
However, the Western Continent is so big that naturally it is impossible for all the land to be suitable for the survival of vampires. At this time, the difference of intelligent creatures is reflected.
The environment can change.
Especially for high-level experts, it is not difficult to change the environment.
The Vampires feed on blood, but with the number of Vampires in the Blood Empire, how can there be so much blood for them to eat, so extracting blood from blood slaves is okay, but it is not a long-term solution after all.
We still have to find a sustainable production method, after all, food in large quantities will do.
This is how this land came to be. The blood-red land transformed by high-level vampires can grow a special kind of plant.
This plant has a lot of juice and a taste similar to blood. It is one of the main foods of ordinary vampires.
Not only does the Blood Empire do this, but the Eternal Night Empire also does the same. After hundreds of years of continuous transformation, they have transformed the Eastern Continent into an environment suitable for dark creatures to survive.
The western continent, from far to near, from the edge to the center of the continent, the further inside, the more prosperous the city becomes.
In the Blood Empire, the vampires also have class divisions, and they are much stricter than those in the Eternal Night Empire.
Blood slaves, ordinary vampires, and advanced vampires.
In a sense, when the vampires were born, their status in life was already fixed.
Because the vampires distinguish their classes based on the level of their bloodline. Unless something unexpected happens, the bloodline level will not change. What it is like when you are born will be what it is later on, and it will not change throughout your life. .
Duke Bozinan, this is the bloodline level of a high-level blood clan.
The higher the bloodline level, the better the talent, and the higher the growth limit.
Therefore, there is no such thing as a mismatch between strength and status due to the fact that vampires of lower bloodlines enhance their own strength through cultivation.
Because the upper limit of growth of lower bloodline is there.
No matter how hard you practice, it is impossible to break through the upper limit of your bloodline.
For this reason, in order to maintain the purity of blood, a large number of clans appeared in the Blood Empire, and these clans were established according to the level of blood.
Big clans can only intermarry with big clans. This is an unspoken rule that all blood clans in the Blood Empire default to.
And it is this rule that blocks the advancement path for most vampires.
……
In the Blood Palace.
All the elders gathered together, all of them looked ugly, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
The hall was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard. These big shots, who usually could decide thousands of lives and deaths with just one word, were like primary school students at this moment, silently waiting for reprimand with their heads down.
“Tell me what’s going on. Why did we lose hundreds of cities in just a few days? With so many resources in the empire, how could we just support such a bunch of waste?!”
"Where did that group of sea people come from? There are millions of sea people! Why haven't we received any news at all? Is this what you told me, no worries at sea?"
< br> "Are our intelligence organizations and the spies in the Northern Continent all blind? The Yongye Empire mobilized its troops on such a large scale, but you didn't notice it at all. You didn't know what happened until the other side came in. The empire raised You guys are useless!”
“I don’t ask you to find out any confidential information, but there is such a big movement of the army, can’t you even see it?”
On the throne? , the young blood emperor could no longer maintain the expression on his face. He looked at the ministers and elders below and roared angrily:
"Waste, waste, they are all waste! There is not a single useful thing, raise You might as well raise a few blood hounds, at least the blood hounds will sound warnings when they encounter enemies, and you don’t even know what happened until the enemies come in!”
In just a few days, it is known as! The Blood Empire, one of the two dominant forces in this plane and the sole ruler of the Western Continent, with millions of troops, actually lost hundreds of cities.
No wonder the emperor was so angry, it was such a slap in their face.
He may have thought in his heart that the Blood Empire could not stop the attack of the Eternal Night Empire, but he would never have imagined that the army soldiers he spent a lot of resources to build did not even last a few days and were directly defeated.
Faced with the Blood Emperor's reprimand, the ministers and elders below did not dare to refute, so they had no choice but to bow their heads and accept the scolding. There was no other way, this battle situation was really bad.
Some time ago, they were bragging about how well the defense construction of the Western Continent was done. Even if the Yongye Empire's army pressed in and the gods descended to earth, they could hold on until reinforcements arrived.
As a result, within a few days, my face was swollen.
Hundreds of cities, even if there are several main cities among them, are actually nothing to the Blood Empire, which has a rich family and owns the entire continent.
Although the Blood Empire has lost hundreds of thousands of blood warriors in the past few days, and even two demigods have fallen, their main force is still there. As long as they can regain their strength, these cities can be defeated return.
But the performance on this battlefield is really bad.
After the emperor above finished scolding, an old elder stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to an end, there is no point in saying anything. The Yongye army marched straight in, raging across the empire's territory, Our primary goal now is to contain their attack, and we cannot allow them to continue like this."
The young emperor sat back on the throne, looking at the elder with extremely cold eyes,
"What do you think?"
"Assemble the elite army and recapture some coastal cities first to improve the morale of the people of the empire. These days, the Yongye army marches straight in, unstoppable, and the people of the empire feel panic."
The elder , said softly:
“According to the intelligence from the front, the invading army of the Evernight Empire this time is as many as 300,000. If they fight in the plains, with the strength of the Evernight Army, it is estimated that it will not be good. Fight, I think it is best to use the city defense to weaken their energy first."
"In addition, we also need to find out as soon as possible how the Yongye Empire quietly dispatched such a large army. Come here, I think there must be a hidden secret..."
As someone spoke, other elders also expressed their thoughts and opinions.
The whole palace became lively again.
Listening to the discussion, the young emperor was still angry, but at least he could listen.
“Let’s do it like this.”
The young emperor quickly selected what he thought was a reasonable proposal, “Kasai, you will be the commander of the frontline this time. I do not ask you to defeat your opponent. , but it will take at least a few months.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” the young commander knelt on one knee and shouted.
"At this point, it's time for you to make your contribution." The young emperor nodded, and then looked at the other ministers,
"I don't care what grudges you had before, now If you don’t want to be destroyed along with it, then come up with something. Those who are rich will contribute money, and those who are powerful will contribute. The empire needs you..."
Although he had dealt with these clans more than once before, But thousands of years of accumulation is no joke. To put it bluntly, the resources produced by the land alone are enough for them to accumulate terrifying wealth over the years.
“It should be so.”
The ministers and elders had some slight changes, but they quickly reached a unified opinion.
After all, the fate of the Hundred Nations Alliance is there. If they don't want to follow in the footsteps of the former, then it's time to take action.
To put it bluntly, their existence depends entirely on the Blood Empire. Once the Empire is destroyed, they will also be destroyed.
Yeah, they don't even have a second option.
After all, the main race of the Hundred Kingdoms Alliance is the human race. If you can't defeat it, you can still surrender and integrate. The main race of the Blood Empire is the blood race. If you choose to surrender, you will really have to become a subordinate force.
Affiliated forces may sound nice, but in fact they are no different from genocide.
At least that's how it seems to them, because this is what the Blood Empire does to those conquered affiliated forces.
In order to facilitate management, the civilization inheritance of these affiliated forces has been strictly suppressed and blocked by them.
All the ministers and elders present clearly understood this. Now they are not only helping the empire, but also helping themselves. Therefore, no one refused the Blood Emperor's request.
Actively contribute, those with troops send troops, and those with money contribute money, they are all using their own ways to save this empire.
……
A city closer to the coastline, the main city of Biya.
As one of the main coastal cities of the Blood Empire, the main city of Biya has extremely developed transportation and commerce, and its prosperity is even comparable to that of the main city in the core area.
In the past, Biya was known as the Pearl of the Border Sea.
But that’s all in the past tense.
In the previous invasion of the Sea Tribe, the main city of Biriya was lost, and this prosperous main city was completely reduced to the "nest" of the Sea Tribe monsters.
And now, the vampire army has reorganized its army and is preparing to take back its own city.
Nearly two hundred thousand vampires formed a mixed army and surrounded the entire city.
"Attack!"
As the vampire commander gave the order, the fighting started again, and the vampire warriors launched a charge and attacked the city.
Hundreds of magic cannons that were urgently mobilized opened fire instantly, focusing their energy to hit the soldiers above the city wall, hoping to suppress them and then take the opportunity to attack the city.
“It’s ridiculous!”
The Naga commander sneered, and then waved his hand: “Blast them to death for me, play with the magic cannon with us, it’s funny...”
Above the city wall, hundreds of magic cannons were activated, and the counterattack was carried out in a more violent way. The oncoming vampire warriors were instantly turned upside down.
The earth was blasted into large craters, which were filled with blood, water and minced meat.
The energy shield has not been raised in the city because the defense system here has been destroyed in the previous wave of attacks. Therefore, facing the bombardment at this moment, one has to either rely on the city walls blessed with inscriptions to resist, or the strong ones can chop them down and directly Explodes in the air.
The hard city wall, even with the blessing of inscriptions, was blasted with huge gaps, and dust suddenly flew up.
Many soldiers died before the two sides actually fought.
"Forbidden Curse: The Eternal Sun."
Behind the vampire army, a magic legion, led by the commander of the legion, issued a terrifying forbidden curse magic, and appeared in the sky the second sun.
The scorching sun emitted a blazing light, and the surrounding air rose rapidly. The moist and cold air around the surroundings changed by the sea tribe immediately became hot.
The Sea Clan has a field advantage in the sea and is powerful, and can suppress most of the same level, but vice versa, their combat effectiveness on land will be weakened.
Before, they were able to capture this city mostly in one go and with the help of the residual power of the tsunami.
But now that the tide has receded, even if you can use rainfall magic to attract rain, it will still maintain normal combat effectiveness, or even be weakened.
Being disturbed by the mixed forbidden spell of light and fire, even the sea warriors who had reached the sixth level of extraordinary level felt a burning sensation at this moment and felt uncomfortable all over.
"Damn..."
The Naga general snorted, a little annoyed, and then mobilized the power of the legion. In an instant, countless ice-blue huge spears were shot towards the huge fireball in the sky.
Puff puff puff——
When a spear is fired into the fireball, it is like putting ice cubes into magma, emitting clouds of vapor, which has no effect.
Seeing that the attack had no effect, the Naga commander's face darkened and he sneered: "Since it can't be destroyed, let's all suffer together."
He quickly changed his response strategy. No longer attacking the blazing sun, but changing the surrounding environment.
After a while, dark clouds gathered above the city and heavy rain poured down.
The sun was shining brightly on one side, and the dark clouds were gathering on the other. The strange celestial phenomena made the entire battlefield a bit extreme.
Hot and cold alternate, and the air becomes thicker, as if you are in a sauna, which is extremely uncomfortable.
The newly recruited Blood Slave Legion is already a little dizzy due to their strength.
Seeing that the celestial phenomena did not have much effect, the vampire army did not hesitate and immediately launched a siege. Countless vampire warriors rose into the air and jumped towards the city wall.
“Kill!”
The Naga warrior thrust his spear straight through, instantly piercing the flying vampire warrior.
“Get out of here!”
The vampire warrior roared angrily, slashing down with his long sword, splitting the fishman warrior in front of him in half from top to bottom, and then swept across with his long sword. , the two blood slave warriors fell to the ground instantly.
“Get up.”
As the vampire commander gave a soft drink, the scarlet power rolled under his feet, rushing towards the city, climbing up the city wall, and then reinforced and solidified, a line of three A slope of about ten degrees appeared in front of us, leading directly to the city wall.
“Charge!”
