Fight

Faced with three Sequence Six opponents, Nie Ping was not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface.

Standing in mid-air, he bore a great deal of pressure for the soldiers on the city wall.

The appearance of the three Sequence Six vampires also confirmed the intelligence Bai Yun had brought back.

At this moment, he felt some regret that he hadn’t believed Bai Yun’s words a little sooner and requested reinforcements from the rear.

Doing so would have saved at least two or three hours.

The current situation was very dire.

Although the number of vampires participating in the raid outside the city wall was not small, with their tenacious vitality and excellent magical quality, it was easy to get bogged down in a battle of attrition.

Nie Ping thought of dragging out the time as much as possible, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

A figure rushed towards the city wall.

Nie Ping sensed the aura contained within the figure.

Although it was not Sequence Six, it was not far off.

Seeing the figure stop and Bai Yun’s silhouette appear on the city wall, Nie Ping’s anxious heart relaxed a little.

If Bai Yun could hold off one vampire, then the border city’s disadvantage could be greatly compensated for.

After he had not listened to her suggestion, she was still willing to stand up for the sake of the entire city’s citizens.

Nie Ping sent Bai Yun a grateful look.

The human side, being outnumbered, did not rush to attack.

Attacking too early would expose their weaknesses right under the enemy’s nose.

However, this strange balance could not be maintained for long, because the power boost Bai Yun gained by burning her magic essence was time-limited.

If they couldn’t gain a certain advantage during this period, then the vampires would have essentially neutralized a threat with ease.

And at this moment, on the vampire side, after launching one attack, the three Earls did not choose to continue their assault.

Instead, they hovered in the air, seemingly with the intention of holding the line for the vampires below.

They also saw Bai Yun burning her magic essence and naturally understood that as long as they dragged out the time, victory would surely belong to the vampires.

At this moment, a low-voiced discussion took place among the three vampire Earls.

“Earl Fol, should we drag this out according to the original plan?”

“No, Leng. With the current state of the Northern City, if we attack directly, we have a chance to take it in one fell swoop.”

“The cracked city wall can be attacked. At that time, the main force can rush in on their horned horses. Then, whether it’s raiding or besieging, it’ll be up to each of us.”

In the end, Earl Tate’s words were approved by the other two.

They also felt this plan was the best.

The two humans responsible for the Northern City’s defense posed no threat to them, who were Sequence Six.

Now, they had to wait for an opportunity to find a gap to attack the city wall.

With a single order, all the vampire troops who had been gathered by the nobles for the raid changed their strategy from raiding to besieging, attempting to take the entire Northern City.

The high-end combat forces on both sides remained motionless, while the humans and vampires on the battlefield had already engaged in close combat.

The vampires, having received the order to besiege the city, instantly turned the area above and below the city wall into a battlefield filled with a murderous aura.

Roars, screams, and the sorrowful cries of lives constantly being lost spread throughout the Northern City, which had been safe just a short while ago.

Boom!

A human soldier who had carelessly fallen from the city wall was immediately surrounded and devoured by the vampires below.

At the last moment of his death, he ignited the magic essence in his body, causing it to boil and explode, blowing away the vampires that had been attracted to him.

Due to his fall, a gap immediately appeared on the city wall.

Taking this opportunity, a vampire climbed the wall with his sharp claws, trying to break through the human defensive line.

Behind the gap, soldiers quickly rushed forward to fill the void, immediately engaging in battle with the vampire, determined to defend this spot and not yield an inch.

Seeing through the vampires’ intention to delay, Nie Ping could no longer hold back and took the initiative to strike first.

With a move of his feet, he left an afterimage in the air and attacked the vampire Earl with the weaker aura.

Since Nie Ping had already made a move, Bai Yun, who was on the same front, had to advance and retreat with him.

She whipped out her long whip and attacked Nie Ping’s target.

The goal was to strike first and gain the upper hand, hoping to catch one Earl off guard and injure him.

This Earl with the weakest aura was Leng, the one who had spoken first.

At this moment, in Leng’s eyes, Nie Ping’s left hand was shaped like an eagle’s claw, probing towards his eyes.

If this claw hit, it would likely gouge out Leng’s eyeball directly.

Then, Bai Yun’s long whip, while sealing Leng’s escape route, also used its flexibility to attack the other two.

Although Bai Yun was only Sequence Five, by burning her magic essence, she could still play a harassing role on the field.

She never thought her attack could cause much damage.

With this move, she slightly affected the two Earls’ rescue attempts.

Tate did not make a move.

It was Fol who acted to neutralize Bai Yun’s attack.

Being attacked, he had no choice but to stop giving aid to Leng.

The situation on the battlefield was ever-changing.

Just a moment’s delay was enough to change the course of the battle.

Faced with Nie Ping’s sudden attack, the helpless Leng dodged the eagle’s claw by a hair’s breadth, his head tilting at a bizarre angle.

The magic essence restrained in Nie Ping’s hand grazed past Leng’s ear and exploded, blowing off one of his ears.

Faced with this result, Nie Ping was clearly not satisfied.

But he could not change it.

Exchanging a glance with Bai Yun, they each rushed towards their respective opponents.

Since they had chosen to act, there was no need to give the other side time to breathe.

Bai Yun faced the just-injured Leng.

Nie Ping, on the other hand, faced the remaining two vampires.

But what was strange was that the most powerful Sequence Six vampire among the three had not made a move.

The other party had been standing motionless in the air from the beginning.

‘Is it contempt? Disdain? Or is he holding the line for the other two?’

No matter what, the fact that the other party hadn’t acted meant that Nie Ping always had to divert a part of his attention to keep an eye on this motionless vampire while dealing with his enemy.

However, what Nie Ping thought was all wrong.

There was only one reason why Tate did not act.

He was being targeted!

When Nie Ping suddenly attacked Leng, Tate suddenly felt his body become uncontrollable, and the flow of magic essence within him slowed down.

Although Tate felt that with his Sequence Six power, he could forcibly control his body to move, another force soon emerged from within, suppressing the Sequence Six magic essence in his body, making him only maintain a level of around Sequence Five.

Under the effect of two completely different forces, Tate realized that there was a third party on this battlefield.

He was being targeted by a third party hiding in the dark.

Tate did not dare to act rashly.

Once he moved, his current Sequence Five fluctuation would surely be detected by the other two.

At that time, he would become their target for concentrated fire.

The three Earls who had come to the scene all had their own little schemes.

None of them planned to risk their lives to besiege the city.

What’s more, by standing still like this now, he was making the other party hesitant to act for fear of him, which could be considered doing his part and giving him an explanation to the other two.
