A group of soldiers in black uniforms came from the direction outside the town. Although there were only a dozen of them, each of them smelled of blood. On their armbands is a pattern of muskets and blood-stained bayonets crossed, that is the emblem of the Imperial Expeditionary Force!
The gate of the town has completely collapsed, and the broken pipes are spraying steam in vain, and several houses around the gate of the town have been blown away by the blast air. The bald sheriff was half buried in the rubble, moaning softly.
Just because the town gate blocked the way of the imperial expeditionary army, they simply blasted open the gate of Lighthouse Town.
Behind the soldiers of the expeditionary force, there were dozens of people who staggered and followed. They were covered in bruises, and their hands were tied with wire and chained into a string. The rusty wire had been cut deeply into their flesh, and the wound was still dripping blood. These people walked a little slower, and the expeditionary soldiers next to them would come up with a whip.
In the darkness, the glowing signboard of Manshusha Hua and the dim lights in the broken windows were particularly eye-catching, and the group of imperial soldiers turned around and walked towards the bar.
Two tall warriors walked into the bar first and glanced around.
Their eyes were as sharp as eagles, and no one in the bar dared to look at them. The automatic rifles in the hands of these two fighters are so powerful that they can turn the entire bar into corpses in less than a minute.
A soldier pointed to Qianye and said coldly: "Prepare food for twenty people. Hurry up!"
Another soldier pointed at the scavengers with a gun and shouted: "You dirty pigs, clean up the table and get out! Immediately!"
The scavengers laughed desperately, wiped down the tables with lightning speed, and escaped from the bar. Others consciously gave up the best tables and hid in the corner. The imperial army didn't let them go, but none of them dared to move.
A tall military officer walked slowly into the bar, bowing his head as he passed the door frame.
He had a pair of thick sword eyebrows, and his eyes were like the most ferocious and cunning nighthawk in the Eternal Night Region. He scanned everyone in the bar with the eyes of prey, and then chose a table in the center and sat down.
There was a sound of beating and cursing outside, and the dozens of people were driven in by the soldiers of the expeditionary army, and then stood crowded in the corner.
The officer glanced at the people in the bar, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Look at them! These are guys polluted by the blood of darkness, waiting for them will be a dark black mine! They will dig there Until death, until the black blood flares up, turning into a monster that only knows to thirst for fresh flesh, and then killed by the guards. Open your eyes and take a good look! Anyone who falls to the side of Yongye will end up like this!"
Fear floated in everyone's eyes.
These captured people all have a common title, Blood Slave. Anyone bitten by a vampire will be polluted by the blood of darkness and turn into a beast without sanity. When it's time to eat, they will be thirsty for fresh flesh, and will frantically attack the target under the command of the superior, until they die in battle.
In any place under the rule of the empire, as long as blood slaves are found, most of them will be executed on the spot. The few that haven't happened yet will be sent to the black mine for mining until they die in the mine.
Pure blood races are very rare, but blood slaves are also high-risk creatures. According to legend, as long as they are scratched and bitten by blood slaves, or even get close to them, they are likely to be contaminated by the blood of darkness. The original guests and women of the bar huddled together shivering, desperately trying to stay away from the blood slaves.
At this time, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed out from among the captured blood slaves, knelt down in front of the officer with a plop, and shouted loudly: "I am not a blood slave, I am not polluted by the blood of darkness!"
A twisted grin appeared on the officer's face, and he said, "I know."
The middle-aged man was startled, and raised his head in astonishment, unable to believe his ears. But what greeted him was a dark muzzle!
There was a loud bang, and all the wine bottles and glasses in the bar shook. The middle-aged man was still kneeling, but his head had been completely smashed, blood and brains splashed all over the floor.
The officer blew the blue smoke from the muzzle of the gun, and said to the headless corpse, "I know you are not a blood slave, but the crime of harboring a blood slave is the same."
A soldier took a step forward and asked, "Lieutenant Colonel Liu, do you want to deal with his two sons together?"
The officer glanced at the group of blood slaves, and there stood two pale young men, the sons of middle-aged men. They shrank, trying to hide behind others.
The officer surnamed Liu pointed at them and said, "You two come out, throw this corpse out to feed the dogs, and then wash the floor clean! I hate the smell of blood."
The two young men came out tremblingly, obediently carried their father's body and walked out. Everyone here knows that if they resist, the Imperial Expeditionary Force has hundreds of ways to make life worse than death.
Just when the eyes of the officer surnamed Liu and the soldiers of the empire were all attracted, someone among the blood slaves suddenly screamed, "I don't want to go to the black mine!" and rushed towards the back door of the bar, trying to escape from there.
The officer grinned again, took off a strange rifle behind his back, and aimed it at the back of the fleeing blood slave. His movements seemed to be slow but fast, and when the blue lines on the body of the rifle lighted up, the blood slave rushed halfway through the hall.
At this time, Qianye just walked out of the door with a plate in his hand.
At this moment, the muzzles of Qianye, the blood slave and the officer formed a straight line!
The officer saw Qianye, but the corner of his mouth twitched, and he still pulled the trigger!
Instead of bullets, what spewed out from the muzzle of the rifle was a mass of red light!
A huge hole suddenly appeared in the center of Blood Slave's body. In the foam of blood and broken flesh, the ball of red light had not exhausted its strength, and continued to move forward. It blasted through two walls one after another, and then disappeared with all its strength. The power of this group of red light is so extraordinary that it can be compared with a large-caliber cannon!
Qianye's body was not shattered, nor was he even injured. At this moment, his body was tilted at forty-five degrees strangely, and his feet were stuck on the ground like nails, just passing the officer's firing line.
With a soft click, a drop of blood fell from the sky and landed on Qianye's face, forming a small flower of blood. Against the backdrop of pale skin, this spot of blood was particularly glaring.
Qianye's breathing suddenly became heavier, and an imperceptible deep red flashed in the depths of his pupils. But this abnormality only disappeared in a flash, Qianye's body seemed to be pulled by an invisible thread, and he stood up straight again, but not a single drop of the wine on the dinner plate spilled.
With a plop, the blood slave's body fell to the ground at this moment, and a hand that was stretched forward desperately was only a few centimeters away from Qianye's toes.
The officer surnamed Liu narrowed his pupils, suddenly laughed, and said, "I never expected to see a real master who has awakened the Force in such a small place! This is really surprising!"
Qianye said in a low voice: "Barely alive."
The officer's gaze was as sharp as a knife, he stared at Qianye, and asked, "You're not eighteen years old, are you?"
"Early seventeen." Qianye replied.
The officer circled around Qianye a few times, and said, "I ignited the force node at the age of seventeen. This talent is quite good! With the force and at such a young age, you could have a lot of future, but you hid Why doesn’t this small place look so simple?”
Qianye remained silent and did not answer.
The officer took out a metal nameplate with the badge of the Expeditionary Army, threw it on Qianye's dinner plate, and said, "My name is Liu Jiang. I don't care who you are or what you have done. If you want, you can take this Zhang Mingpai went to the Expeditionary Army Fortress to find Lieutenant Colonel Chu Xiong. He is short of manpower recently. As long as you join the Imperial Expeditionary Army, no matter what you have done in the past, even if you killed nobles in the upper continent, it is not a big deal. Do you understand? ?”
Qianye bowed slightly and said, "Thank you!" Faced with this recruitment opportunity that many people dream of, he didn't react much.
Liu Jiang saw that Qianye didn't seem to be very interested in joining the expeditionary force, and he didn't intend to force it, so he returned to his seat and sat down. Qianye placed a large glass of spirits and a plate of potato bacon in front of him.
The officer picked up the wine glass and smelled it, his eyes lit up, and said: "Good wine! I never expected to find such good wine in this small place. If Chuxiong knows your craftsmanship, he will definitely want you." But , He immediately put down his glass and said, "Okay, go get me a glass of water, I never drink when I'm on a mission."
Qianye then took away the wine glass and replaced Liu Jiang with clean water.
This is the empire's expeditionary force stationed in the Eternal Night Continent. On the one hand, they are cruel and tyrannical, fierce and tyrannical, and kill like hemp. On the other hand, in the entire Eternal Night Domain, the expeditionary army with millions of people is the mainstay against the dark race. With their presence, human gathering places like Lighthouse Town will not be impacted by a large number of dark races.
Qianye brought out plate after plate of food, and the soldiers of the Empire buried their heads in their mouths, and no one spoke. The bar suddenly fell silent, and everyone felt oppressed, but no one dared to move, let alone leave the bar.
The imperial soldiers were only halfway through their meal when the door of the bar suddenly opened silently, and two men in black trench coats walked in.
They are spotless from top to bottom, so clean and tidy that they don't fit in with the wilderness. And what's weird is that no one noticed their arrival between their appearances.
As soon as they entered the bar, the two of them glanced around, and every time they saw something, their brows would become more tightly frowned, as if there was nothing here that could satisfy them, including these imperial troops.
Liu Jiang saw a logo on the corner of their windbreaker, his expression changed, and he stood up immediately. But just as he was about to say something, a man in black said coldly, "Did you stand up?"
Liu Jiang was furious, but when he met the man's eyes, he suddenly felt as if he was hit hard. He groaned and fell back to his original position, his face turned pale.
The man snorted and said contemptuously: "A bunch of trash, no wonder they can only stay in this ghost place. If you really depended on you to deal with the dark race, the empire would have perished long ago."
The corner of Liu Jiang's mouth twitched, he wiped away the seeping blood, raised his hand to signal his soldiers not to move, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What is the purpose of the two adults in this abandoned place?"
Another person said coldly: "You don't deserve to know! One more word, and I'll kill you all!"
The veins on Liu Jiang's neck kept throbbing, and he moved his hand towards the force gun behind his back, but stopped wisely.
Seeing this scene, the two men wrapped in black windbreakers became even more disdainful.
At this time, an old voice sounded outside the door: "Miss, this place is not clean, there are not only blood slaves, but also some scum of the expeditionary army. You should not go in, right?"
