Behind the battlefield where humans and vampires clashed, there was a large group of vampires mounted on horned horses, taking in the entire situation of the forward battlefield with their own eyes.
“Well done! This is a soldier trained by our family. He has already killed two humans on the battlefield just now! As long as he can survive the battlefield, I will promote him to a knight!”
This group of theirs was different from the vampires who were currently besieging the city.
They were clean and neat, not looking at all like they were on a battlefield, but rather more like they were on a nearby outing.
“Baron Hyde, is it really okay for us to let the Lord Earls fight bitterly in the sky like this?”
Watching the Earls who were engaged in battle with the humans, someone appeared beside the excited Hyde and asked in a low voice.
‘As fellow vampires, to let the Lord Earls fight in the sky while we do nothing but stand by and watch the border city battlefield…’
A nobleman who couldn’t sit still believed that such an action would incur the wrath of the Lord Earls.
“No, no, no. First of all, Your Excellency Mitre, you must remember what I said when I invited you.”
The questioned Hyde wagged his index finger, his face full of leisure.
“Our goal is not to besiege the city, but to plunder human cities. And who said we didn’t help?”
Hyde’s outstretched finger pointed to the battlefield ahead, pointing at the vampires who were fighting bloody battles with the humans.
“Those warriors, and the magical beasts we found along the way, are all our upfront investments for the success of this raid.”
“Correspondingly, the Lord Earls are contributing their strength. Just don’t forget to give a portion of the spoils to the Lord Earls afterwards.”
Faced with Hyde’s explanation and reassurance, Mitre still had a cautious look, “But Your Excellency Hyde, are the soldiers we sent out really enough?”
Hyde saw the warrior he had just seen kill another human, and his mood instantly became excellent, “Of course. Mitre, get ready as soon as possible. We are going in to plunder. If we are a little slow, there will be nothing left.”
On the distant battlefield, the vampire troops transformed into a sharp knife, piercing into the defensive line of the Northern City.
They gained a firm foothold on the solid defensive line, tearing open a breach.
The vampire troops who had gained a foothold did not choose to continue extending the battle line at the first moment.
Instead, they defended the area they had already occupied against the human counterattack, and at the same time, cleared out a safe passage for the nobles to pass through.
Hyde, who was staying in the rear, saw this and repeatedly called out to the vampire nobles staying behind, telling them to follow him and charge into the border city to plunder.
The most difficult part of the siege was completed by the troops he had gathered.
Having crossed the walls of the border city, Hyde and the others, with their guards, now only needed to enjoy the purest form of hunting.
But in fact, the defenders in the border city had also made advance deployments for the breached defensive line, leaving a certain number of soldiers to try and block this group of vampires who had stormed into the city.
However, these vampire nobles were not like ordinary soldiers, foolishly fighting head-on with the humans.
Instead, the moment they crossed the defensive line, they immediately broke up into smaller units and scattered to various parts of the city.
If it weren’t for the thirty-minute evacuation time Nie Ping had arranged, the citizens would have been drawn into the flames of war after the vampires rushed in.
While the battle at the Northern Border Defense City became a fierce stalemate, in a city to the rear of the northern border, the alarm for a vampire invasion also sounded at the same time.
Su Ran, who had just fallen asleep fully clothed, was awakened by the alarm in Jiangbei City.
His originally well-fitting pajamas had become loose.
When he got up, he inadvertently revealed a fair and rosy shoulder.
Coupled with his long, cascading hair, anyone who didn’t know Su Ran would think it was a beautiful girl who had just woken up.
“An alarm?”
Hearing the incessant alarm sound in the city, Su Ran lost much of his sleepiness.
He got up to search for what was happening.
“Level one alert. Vampires are attacking the Northern Border Defense City. The Federation has already sent reinforcements. Citizens in cities near the northern region are requested not to go out without reason.”
Without much effort, Su Ran found the reason for the alarm on the internet.
This news could not be considered a secret for the Federation.
Because when the first wave of the vampire attack occurred, there were citizens in the Northern Border Defense City who had sent the news to be spread on the internet.
Instead of restricting this news, it was better to announce it directly to avoid causing citizens to overthink.
Of course, the real-time battle situation of the Northern Border Defense City had its outflow channels restricted.
The Federation’s high-level officials did not dare to inform the general public that the vampires had broken through the defensive line, fearing it would cause unnecessary panic.
They could only privately request the vampire hunters in various places to hunt down the roaming vampires, to maintain stability and order in various places as much as possible.
After understanding the reason for the level one alert, the joy Su Ran had felt after drinking the fourth potion and being able to sense magic essence was instantly gone.
In its place was a sense of urgency to become a superhuman, and a craving for strength.
He was still too weak now.
His legs had not fully recovered.
If a vampire appeared in front of Su Ran at this time, even if he wanted to run, dragging his half-crippled body, he wouldn’t be able to run too far.
Since he couldn’t sleep for the time being, the awakened Su Ran happened to go onto the Witch Game to see if the rescued witch had woken up.
The familiar check-in interface appeared.
Since the system update, this cumulative check-in had earned Su Ran a lot of meditation resources for Isa.
[Cumulative check-in for fifteen days, receive a special reward: one portion of Flying Magic.]
Flying magic was not of much use to Su Ran.
After all, with the power of a Sequence Six, he could fly at will.
As for flying in this world, it was a bit too early for him.
Su Ran clicked off the check-in interface.
Just as he logged into the Witch Game, he saw a new mission appear, and his eyes went wide.
[Mission: Due to the beast tide attack on Laita City, with Isa’s promotion to Sequence Two, her practical combat skills need to be honed.]
[Mission Detail 1: Isa needs to kill ten Sequence Two magical beasts alone, without the help of any external means.]
[Mission Detail 2: Investigate the truth behind the beast tide and resolve the beast tide in Laita City.]
[Reward for completing both missions: One bottle of Witch’s Restoration Potion (The last potion, the Host will welcome a new life.), one Ten-Pull Lottery Ticket.]
The last potion… this meant that his superhuman talent could be completed, and his legs could also stand and walk again without restriction.
This was something Su Ran had dreamed of.
Now, he was just one step away from his dream coming true.
Su Ran now couldn’t wait to log into the Witch Game.
After escorting Lily to meet with Bai Yun, Winnie followed Eve’s command and hid in the dark to guard Su Ran.
She had actually just arrived not long ago and was a bit strange to see Su Ran get up in the middle of the night and randomly tap on the black screen in front of him.
According to the princess’s description, Su Ran should only have trouble with his legs, but his mind should be fine.
Even if he was woken up by the alarm, why was he not continuing to sleep in the middle of the night, but instead staring blankly at a black screen, looking full of excitement from time to time?
Although her heart was still full of confusion, Winnie still followed the princess’s command and dutifully stayed by Su Ran’s side to guard his safety.
At this moment, a violent shock of magic essence came from the direction of the Northern City.
The magic essence around her became restless.
The intensity of the shock was so strong that even the superhumans far away in Jiangbei City could clearly feel it.
This shock made Winnie turn her gaze towards the direction of the Northern City.
