For the first time, Qianye looked at the life of the blood race in the upper mainland from a daily perspective, and found that it was a bit different from the previous impression that the dark race was all soldiers.
These blood races in front of them may have been living in the mainland of the blood races, which can be regarded as a relatively peaceful environment, and there is an obvious distinction between civilians and soldiers.
In this ancient castle, although the vampires all have the power of blood, judging from their costumes and actions, most of them are not well-trained warriors, but seem to have skills to undertake tasks such as management, craftsman, design, etc. Division and other responsibilities, real soldiers may only account for one-tenth of the total population.
In the mainland of the empire, in the territory that has been at peace for a long time, people with this status are real civilians, and most of them have not awakened the force of dawn. Within the empire, even if there were occasional conflicts involving the use of force, it would not be easy to intentionally harm civilians.
However, in the territorial dispute between the two camps, there are no real civilians. In the borderlands, the dark races that can gain a foothold are all inhabited by clans and tribes. Because of their natural racial advantages, everyone has the dark force, so everyone is a soldier. When the camps are at war, who cares about the difference between the old and the weak, women and children.
So this is the first time Qianye has really seen a commoner of the blood race. And when they saw Qianye, no matter what he was doing, he would immediately put down what he was doing, kneel down and salute, with admiration in his eyes, but more fear.
Among the gathered corpses of blood clans in the square, there are soldiers and more civilians. According to the authorization given by the Demon Marquis, if Qianye and Yetong didn't come suddenly and he didn't restrain his deputy, most of the blood races in the castle would be killed.
As for those slaves and inferior races, they may survive. After all, in the eyes of the superiors, their attributes are not enemies, but property.
Qianye felt a little uncomfortable. Even if it was a blood race, the mass killing of civilians still made him feel heavy. Life and death on the battlefield is another matter. It is a battle, not a massacre, let alone the extermination of each family or even each clan.
Qianye's heart moved, and he looked back, Yetong appeared behind him.
"Is everything done?" Qianye asked.
"Yes."
"Then what about these?" Qianye pointed to the blood clan civilians in front of him.
"They just have to stay."
"There is no other way? Can't they go to the place you just mentioned?"
"That is a secret refuge of the blood race. This kind of place is prepared to be used in times of crisis for the entire race. There are not many supplies there, and the journey is far away. Only with sufficient strength can it be possible to get rid of the follow-up pursuit and catch up. Go to the shelter. If it was them... I'm afraid they won't get there for a month."
Qianye looked around, and said: "There is no news about this army of the demon descendants, and they will find something unusual in a short time. Shall we stay and kill the reinforcements they came to check?"
Yetong hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Although the leader is the demon-born Yelusheng, the troops under his command are indeed directly under the parliament. It is best not to criticize the council again until the whole thing is clear. Directly under the troops to attack. Everything that happened here can be explained as a misunderstanding, but it cannot be explained if the reinforcements are also destroyed."
Although Yetong said it tactfully, Qianye could understand what she meant.
Within the dark race, class and hierarchy suppression is much more powerful than the empire. With Yetong's identity and rank, killing a marquis of a famous demon family and his team at the scene of the burning of the blood clan can be completely "explained". But killing the second team is unreasonable, it is obviously an action against the parliament.
She paused, and then said: "At present, the commander-in-chief of the troops directly under the parliament is Lothar, the Nerubian Warlord. He is very young, but he is very tough and difficult to deal with. At this time, I don't want to have more Nerubians Such an enemy."
Qianye sighed. It can be foreseen that when the follow-up troops from the parliament arrive, the fate of the blood civilians who are still in the castle will not be very good, so he said: "Then don't let them stay, let them escape, run as far as you can. Far."
"Okay." Yetong also felt that there was only one way.
"What do we do next?"
Yetong said: "I plan to go to the nearest family territory belonging to the Paz clan. Only there is it possible to contact Lilith, or at least contact Medanzuo. Now the daily affairs of the blood clan are that he and Habs are in Deal with it, and let him take the lead."
"Lightless King... I don't have a good impression of him. When you were still in the neutral land, he thought of arresting you."
"That's because he didn't know my identity. Medan Zuo has been stuck in this stage for a long time. He wanted to make up for the weakness of the blood talent, so he has been secretly collecting the blood of each talent. At that time, I behaved differently. For the talents of other native species, it is normal for him to want my origin blood. But now, even if I put my origin blood in front of him, I forgive him for thinking carefully, whether he can afford the price."
Qianye frowned slightly, and said: "He is the Maharaja after all, if there is a direct confrontation, I probably won't be his opponent."
Yetong was a little surprised, "Why is there a confrontation?"
"All in all, it's better to be careful with him. I feel a little bad."
"It doesn't matter, finding him is just the first step. He can't afford this matter, and Lilith must know about it."
Qianye thought for a while, but couldn't come up with better suggestions for the internal affairs of the blood clan, so the two ordered the blood clan civilians in the castle to scatter and flee, then left the castle and disappeared into the vast night.
Avi Castle is located on the edge of the inland area of the Twilight Continent. It was built by Duke Lynch nine hundred years ago, and its history is not long. Nine hundred years later, the owner of Avi Castle has been replaced by the powerful Marquis Lynch. The old prince is said to have been in a deep sleep, but no one knows whether he will wake up again.
It is the evening, the sunset is like fire, and the moon is already in the sky, which is the best time of the day for the scenery. Little Marquis Lynch was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding an ancient book and reading. Occasionally, he picked up the gorgeous gold cup next to him, took a sip of the high-quality blood wine, and then turned his eyes to watch the magnificent scenery outside the window.
Every time he saw this scene of prosperity about to wither, he would feel an inexplicable sense of desolation and chill in his heart. This is the Marquis's favorite mood, and only in this mood can he write satisfactory poems.
But this time, when he looked out of the window, he was surprised to find that two figures appeared outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Not alarmed.
Yetong raised his hood and said, "Aren't we allowed to go in?"
The Marquis shivered, stood up hastily, opened the French windows, then put his hands on his chest, gave a deep salute, and said, "Forgive me, I never would have thought that you would come to this little Avi Castle .”
Yetong walked in and sat down in the chair where the Marquis was originally sitting, while Qianye stood beside her without showing his face.
Marquis Lynch closed the window to block the cold wind from the mountains, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what are your orders? Do you want me to arrange a grand welcome dinner? Time is running out now, and some famous local dishes that need to be cooked may Please forgive me for not being able to prepare in time."
Yetong said: "There is no need for a welcome dinner, and don't let other people know that I have been here. You are very peaceful here, haven't the demons and the parliamentary troops come?"
Marquis Lynch opened his eyes wide and said, "Why did the parliamentary troops come? As for the demon descendants, this is Twilight. I don't think they have the guts to walk around in the depths of Twilight at will?"
Yetong frowned slightly, "Never been here?"
Little Lynch looked innocent, "Absolutely not. If you need, I can call in the soldiers on the territory to confirm. But as far as I know, in the past month, no strange demons have been in the territory There are indeed demon descendants in the city below, but those families have opened workshops here for nearly three hundred years."
Yetong said slowly: "It's fine if you didn't come. I suggest you immediately strengthen the guards of the family castle, and contact the Pas clan's main family to take refuge, or ask them to send a team to fight."
Little Lynch was taken aback, "This, this is a big deal! Is something wrong, Your Majesty?"
"I suspect that our all-out war with the demons is about to begin."
"Total war!" Little Lynch exaggeratedly exclaimed, "How could this happen? Didn't the holy war stop? Your Majesty, you are still the great lord of the new world!"
"Do as I say." Ye Tong didn't want to explain, then got up and said, "How is the old Duke's condition now? There should be a way to contact Her Majesty in Avi Castle, I need to use it."
Marquis Lynch's complexion changed, and he said: "Your Majesty, we do have a facility here to communicate with Her Majesty the Queen, but even my father can't remember that it hasn't been used for hundreds of years, and, you know, this facility The activation must be controlled by the father himself. Although I am a pure blood of the Lynch family, my own strength is not enough."
Contacting the Queen of the Night is exceptionally easy on the Twilight Lands, much easier than on other lands. But the so-called easy, at least the Duke of the Pass clan. Every duke is an important figure in the clan. If they need to contact the Queen of the Night, it must be a big deal.
The queen's deep sleep cannot be disturbed easily. As the river of blood goes away, the queen of the night wakes up less and less, and even the avatar or projection no longer appears. In comparison, both the Demon Emperor and the Spider Queen were much more active. Under such circumstances, naturally, not just anyone could bother her, except for the second-generation ancestors, only the dukes of the Pass clan were the only ones.
Similarly, not every duke is qualified to build a family castle in the Twilight Continent, even if it is the blood of Pas, the oldest blood clan.
Yetong chose Avi Castle because there are facilities here that can communicate with the Queen of the Night's Hall.
After hearing Yetong's request, Marquis Lynch looked a little unnatural, and finally said: "Your Majesty, please follow me."
As soon as Yetong moved, Qianye followed naturally, and Marquis Lynch frowned and said, "Your Majesty, it may be inconvenient for your followers to go in and out there."
"He's not my follower."
And Qianye also showed a little bit of blood, and the terrifying coercion instantly made Little Lin Qi's face pale, and he took a step back involuntarily. With a look of shock and horror on his face, he looked at Yetong again, and finally dared not say anything, and led the two of them to the underground of the castle.
The three of them walked through the long passage, passing through six clear and hidden checkpoints along the way, and finally a thick steel-cast gate appeared in front of them. Looking at the location, this place is already in the middle of the mountain.
"Here is where my father slept. The last time he woke up was thirty-five years ago." Xiao Lin said strangely.
