Tonight is very lively.
The capture of the North Port Bridge boosted the morale of the Principality's coalition forces. Although there were still tough battles to be fought at the Castell Bridge and the North Port Island, the coalition forces knew that Castell's retreat had been cut off and both sides of the waterway were surrounded. It was only a matter of time before this northern pearl was captured.
It is natural to celebrate.
The bridge was taken, and the main force of the coalition forces successfully crossed the river and settled on the north bank of the Dorne River, completely cutting off the communication between North Port and the mainland.
The top leaders of the two principalities have even been discussing the next offensive plan of dividing their forces and marching northward.
Of course, even if they attacked, it would be the next day. After several days of siege, the soldiers needed to rest.
As the night deepened and it was already the second half of the night, the brightly lit military camp gradually fell silent.
Except for those who were still on patrol, most of the soldiers had fallen asleep.
No one feared that Castel would attack the camp at night.
After setting up camp, the coalition forces have built a temporary magic circle around the Castel Bridge leading to the main island of North Port, and there are also extraordinary people taking turns on duty, so it is very stable.
Of course, the defense in the rear of the coalition forces was relatively weak. After finally taking down the Beigang Bridge, the coalition forces only left two entry-level warriors, thirty extraordinary regulars, and one hundred ordinary conscripts to garrison.
As the night deepens, the bright silver moon rises to the top of the sky, and the watery moonlight pours onto the sea, reflecting the sparkling light.
On the Beigang Bridge, the soldier on duty was leaning on his weapon, half asleep and half awake, dozing off.
A ghostly black shadow flashed across the ground, but it did not attract the soldiers' attention.
The soldier was not awakened until the warning magic set on the bridge lit up. However, before he could sound the alarm, a figure shrouded in black mist appeared behind him and cut his throat.
The soldier's eyes widened, a look of horror on his face.
When he finally lost consciousness, he saw a pair of scarlet eyes and a bloody mouth with sharp teeth. The bloody mouth bit his throat directly and greedily sucked his blood...
On the bridge, ghostly figures "floated" by from all directions, and the soldiers on duty followed one after another, turning into corpses before they could even sound the alarm.
More and more ghostly figures flew towards the bridge from all directions...
The bright moonlight shone on them, revealing figures wearing black cloaks and with red eyes.
Bloodlines.
In other words, vampires and blood servants.
The reinforcements consisting of the descendants of Ness and their servants and followers have already landed under the cover of night!
Night is the home of the vampires...
The North Port Bridge, which the Principality's coalition forces had captured with great difficulty, was unknowingly controlled by the blood descendants.
…
The outermost edge of the principality coalition’s base.
The soldiers on duty put on their clothes, picked up their weapons, and went to their duty stations to change shifts.
"Pierre, it's time to change guards and go to bed."
He yawned and tapped on the wooden board of the sentry post.
A gust of night wind blew, causing the soldier to shiver. He looked up at the moonlight and cursed:
"Damn it! It's really cold tonight. The weather here in Castel is much worse than in Boulder!"
However, after he finished speaking, no one responded at the outpost.
"Pierre?"
The soldier frowned.
Another gust of night wind blew, carrying with it a strong smell of blood.
When the soldier smelled this smell, his expression changed suddenly.
He quickly pushed open the door of the outpost and saw that the soldier named Pierre had fallen down inside.
His face was pale and he looked like he had lost a lot of blood, and his neck had already been cut.
Soldier Tong Kong was slightly shocked. He almost subconsciously took out his whistle, blew it quickly, and then shouted:
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Ah!
”
Before he could finish shouting, a ghostly figure flashed over and pierced his chest with a sword.
However, the whistle had been blown, and the sleeping soldiers were suddenly awakened.
"Enemy attack? Where?"
"Castel sent out troops?"
The soldiers sleeping in the tents near the outpost quickly got up and picked up their weapons, but before they were ready, ghostly figures rushed in.
Screams rang out one after another, the blood descendants began to kill, torches were overturned, and the tents were set on fire. The coalition forces' marginal garrison soon fell into chaos.
The commotion grew louder and louder, even alarming the nobles in the center of the camp. When the third prince Philip was awakened by his guards, dressed miserably, and came outside the barracks, the southern part of the coalition army was already ablaze.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Looking at the soldiers walking back and forth in the camp and listening to the fighting and screaming in the distance, the third prince's expression changed and he asked.
"Your Highness! It's the rear! In the direction of the Beigang Bridge! We are under attack!"
Said the noble who came hurriedly.
"Rear? Beigang Bridge?"
The third prince was stunned for a moment, and blurted out subconsciously:
"This is impossible! Beigang has been surrounded by us, how could they get behind us?!"
“Your Highness! It’s really the Beigang Bridge! The enemy’s combat power is very strong. I’m afraid they are a group of extraordinary people. Our outer army can’t resist at all!”
The noble said anxiously.
"Extraordinary?"
The third prince was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said solemnly:
"I'm afraid it's a team of extraordinary people organized by Beigang. They took advantage of the night to get behind us."
"Don't panic. There are not many extraordinary people in Beigang. Send out the extraordinary people to stop them. Don't cause more chaos!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a whistling sound.
"It's a stone cannon! Your Highness, be careful!"
The noble was the first to react. His expression changed and he dragged the third prince down.
As soon as they lay down, they saw a stone bullet hit the tent not far away, tearing several soldiers into pieces amid screams.
It was not until this time that faint sounds of artillery fire were heard from a distance.
"Where did the stone-shooting cannon come from?!"
The third prince was shocked and angry.
The noble looked at the source of the sound and picked up the telescope, but his expression was confused:
"It seems... on the sea?"
"maritime?"
The third prince was stunned.
But the next moment, he saw the noble's expression change:
"Your Highness! Look! The sea!"
After hearing what the other party said, the third prince Philip subconsciously snatched the binoculars and looked at the sea, and his expression suddenly changed.
On the vast sea, flames gradually rose and bursts of artillery fire came from afar, piercing the tranquility of the night.
The bright moonlight illuminated the sea, and the burning sailboats that were hit reflected the sky red. A mighty oar-sailed fleet appeared on the periphery of the combined fleet surrounding Beigang!
