After listening to Emilia's words, the expression of the vampire young man Hubert changed slightly. He knew very well the importance of the vampire recognition ceremony, because it was through this ceremony that he recognized Emilia as his master. He also recognized Emilia as his master through this ceremony. In this blood curse secret technique ceremony, his master Emilia used the unique secret method of the blood clan to put a mark on his soul. In this way, Emilia could understand everything about him through this mark. If Hugh If there is any betrayal in Bert's heart, even if he just uses his brain and does not really realize it, this mark will be broken and directly attack his soul. It can be said that unless Hubert's power far exceeds that of his master Amy An order of magnitude larger than Liya, otherwise there would be no way to resist the terrifying lethality that directly shakes the soul.
However, Hubert did not show any displeasure, because he had heard the name Ryan countless times when he was in the City of Bones. It was a taboo that the entire undead army must not mention, because the man with the mission Because of this, Hubert still learned some deeds about this name through various channels. Just some hearsay has shocked his heart. Even the commander of the entire undead army, the Lich Lord Nicholas and the fellow legend The powerful Flame Queen Catherine and many other masters besieged Ryan and were disgraced. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, they also allowed others to escape unscathed. It can be said that their faces were disgraceful. And in that battle, the last member of the vampire clan The top master of the Kawi family was instantly killed by him, and the family patriarch only escaped with his life when he deliberately let him go. However, it is said that the de Silva patriarch is now greatly weakened and has hidden himself in his sarcophagus. , I don’t think it will take 500 years to recover from the injury.
With such an impressive record, how could Hubert still dare to treat Ryan and the ordinary humans who were treated as slaves and food by the vampires? His face changed slightly just now, but he was actually a little surprised, because Ryan, who had always spared no effort in fighting the undead army, It was beyond his expectation that he would accept a vampire slave, but from this point of view, it seemed that the human in front of him was not very resistant to the power of darkness, so Hubert quickly stood up and moved toward Ryan performed the most respectful etiquette of the vampire clan,
"Okay, okay, let's save these etiquettes." Ryan waved his hands in disgust, interrupting Hubert's etiquette. He pointed to the wool felt placed in the center of the tent and said: "Everyone, sit down and talk. No need to be restrained.”
After Emilia served Ryan to sit down, she sat down behind him on the left side. Although Ryan didn't like these complicated etiquette, in such an occasion, the vampire girl still behaved as a maid should. posture, Hubert glanced at Orlando and Red, whose bodies were faintly exuding endless light power, and subconsciously chose a seat far away from them to sit down, but by chance, he sat next to Alando. I don’t know if he felt the aura of the violent ancient monster Hydra in Alando’s body.
"It was an accident that I met Hubert this time. He is Emilia's blood-cursed servant. His soul imprint was checked just now. There is no need to worry about his loyalty." Ryan spoke first, although Orlando and the others already know about Emilia's existence, but they were once hostile to each other. Ryan's words can effectively eliminate the hostility between them.
"Then, Hubert, please tell me about the situation in the City of Bones." Ryan said calmly,
"As you command, my Master Ryan." Hubert began the introduction meticulously: "I was selected into Ferreze's personal guard three years ago..." Hubert slowly introduced himself to Emilia. He told the story of his order to serve as an undercover agent, until he and many other vampire warriors were stationed in the City of Bones under the orders of Emilia's brother Ferez, serving as personal guards for the several black-robed lichs who guarded the place. However, just some time ago, most of the troops in the City of Bones were mobilized and left secretly. Hubert and other vampire warriors did not accompany them, so they had no idea where the undead army was going. Moreover, due to the departure of the black-robed lich, Since then, all the vampire warriors have changed from idle guards to coolies. Because of their fast flying speed, Hubert and others had to patrol the area shrouded in darkness around the City of Bones every day until they met today. The golem of Ryan,
"So, you are very familiar with the environment of the City of Bones." Ryan asked,
"Of course." Hubert said confidently,
"Then have you noticed that the City of Bones and its vicinity have decorations similar to magic circles, the larger ones?" Ryan asked. After saying this, he thought for a while and added: " If possible, you can draw a detailed topographic map of the City of Bones, especially the location of important facilities such as the altar that produces the dark sky."
"No problem." Hubert replied: "There is absolutely no problem with the terrain map, but there are some areas that we are not allowed to enter. I tried several times to sneak in, but I couldn't pass the magic blockade there. In order not to reveal my identity , I had to give up. As for the magic circle, the entire City of Bones is made of bones and secret runes, and I’m not very good at this, so I’m afraid I can’t judge their specific uses.”
"Well, all you need to do is draw a detailed map. As for time, the sooner the better." Ryan didn't force anything. After all, Hubert's strength can only be regarded as average among the undead army. , if it weren't for the extremely fast speed of these vampires, I'm afraid it wouldn't be their turn to guard those fragile lichs. With such strength, they can be used as undercover agents to gather information. If they expect him to be invincible in the entire fortress of the undead army, In the human realm, no matter what kind of information he got, Ryan wouldn't believe it, because it was probably a trap.
After seeing that Hubert seemed to have nothing to add, Ryan turned sideways and said to Emilia, who was sitting behind him: "Hubert will be left to you to make arrangements. Please pay attention to keeping his identity confidential."
"As ordered." Emilia bowed respectfully and agreed. Then she rolled her eyes, lowered her head and asked: "Then, Master, when will I send Hubert back to the City of Bones to continue? Lurking."
"Latent, no." Ryan spoke before everyone else: "According to the records of the Army of the Undead, he should have died in my hands. If he went back in a few days, wouldn't it be clear to others that Huber A unique problem, this will be very detrimental to him, well, you can think of his identity yourself, anyway, you are now the deputy leader of my Lane mercenary group, and you are qualified to select your own subordinates."
After getting a clear answer from Ryan, Emilia lowered her head and showed a smile. Not only her, but also Hubert who was beside him breathed a sigh of relief. What Ryan said just now has made it clear. Regard these vampires as your own tribe, and believe that with the protection of this legendary strongman, these vampires who are shouted at by everyone in the bright world will have a stable living environment, and will no longer have to deal with countless demon hunters. After chasing, I hid in Tibet.
After Emilia and the others left, it was the first time that Clifford, the great mage who heard that Ryan actually had a vampire under his command, couldn't help but ask: "Ryan, you have to think clearly, these vampires once put We humans treat you as food, how can they really help you? They are just using your identity to escape the pursuit of the Church of Light and Demon Hunters."
"Clifford, don't worry, I'm measured." Ryan comforted him with a smile, and then said: "As one of the six allies in the alliance, you are naturally qualified to know this information, but it is only limited to you. That’s it, it’s not that your companions can’t trust you. In fact, there are probably no more than 10 people who know about this matter so far.”
"I know what's appropriate." Clifford saw that Ryan was unwilling to listen to his advice. He nodded and said to Ryan: "But I still reserve my opinion. Anyway, I can't trust them anyway."
"The Six-Party Alliance does not include the vampires. They are just members of my private mercenary group. I have an employment relationship with them." Ryan shrugged and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these things. Let's discuss the specifics. Let’s talk about the details. Today, after I controlled the golem to enter the dark sky, I encountered a total of... "
After Ryan introduced his experience, Faras was the first to speak: "According to Hubert's information just now, when the Undead Army mobilized large-scale forces not long ago, it was almost the eve of the secret trip to Black Rock City. Calculated in terms of time, , the two are very consistent, so doesn’t it mean that the current City of Bones does not have too many troops.”
"But with the existence of the dark sky, our soldiers have no way to enter." Orlando said distressedly,
"Well, this is indeed a problem, but one thing I want to say is that the corrosiveness of the dark sky may not be as terrible as we thought before." Ryan said with a smile: "I was once exposed to the forbidden curse 'Disaster of the Undead' Under the shroud of darkness, this magic can turn all life that enters the area it covers into undead. However, when my golem entered the dark sky today, it did not feel such a strong feeling at all. Obviously its effect is only weakened. As for the previous Most of the cattle and sheep experimental subjects were killed by the Banshee's Wail, and then their bodies were touched by the zombies, and they were infected with the terrible plague, or these plagues may have been created by the dark rune knights. , I remember that they were responsible for the New Year’s Massacre in the Imperial Capital.”
"Then what is their purpose for doing this?" Reid asked,
"Create an illusion for us, that is, the effect of the dark sky is fatal." Faras has already thought of the truth, and she said with some excitement: "This way we will not dare to send troops in easily, such a long-distance attack The method is nothing more than using siege equipment or high-level magic. In terms of actual effects, when dealing with a large target spread out within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and there is no way to see the specific situation clearly through the fog, using forbidden spell magic is inevitable. It’s also the only possibility.”
"Yes, this is the only possibility." Orlando added: "Just as Ryan guessed, we launched a forbidden spell attack and were counterattacked by the giant magic circle. Under the impact of the forbidden spell level collision, we would be caught off guard and suffer losses. Tragic, although this cannot stop our march to the east, it can delay our time."
