Chapter 13 The Conqueror's Stance
Of course, this idea was to turn around Maya's mind and then disappear. There was a limit to jokes. She had been with Valed for fourteen years. It can be said that Maya was the one who had been with him the longest time in this life. She naturally knew what kind of person Vared was. Whether he was passionate or romantic, he cared about the most. But what he cared about was Sylvania, his vampire relatives. He would not do anything to betray them.
Thinking of this, Maya was a little discouraged, but her arms around Vared became tighter.
When Vared arrived at the gate of the south side of the main burger, the other five vampire officers and their entourages also arrived. Vared had placed his entourage here earlier, and then he gathered it around him, including a company of Blood Holy Grail Knights, a company of Black Knights, and a company of Tomb Guards. There were nearly a thousand people in total. This was the vampire army. The number of people was small, so there was no trouble. If the army of creatures had been replaced, someone would have been informed of such a large number of troops.
"There are all people here! OK, let's go!" Vared saw clearly that there was no shortage of people at first sight. He didn't say much, and nodded and took the lead. He took his entourage, the Holy Grail Knight in Blood, and ran out of the city gate first. The other vampire officers followed him out of the main husband's castle and ran all the way to the south. While walking, he said to the five vampire officers around: "The situation is urgent, and there is not much time. You must go south as soon as possible. Xiela, you will be in the tomb guard infantry and the others will be with me with the knights!"
The five vampire officers around responded with a loud response. Only the female officer named Shera was slightly dissatisfied, but she could only follow orders. In this way, the infantry stayed behind, with only two companies of knights. The undead troops had no physical limitations, so their speed increased quickly.
But this was so painful that Elsa was suffering. The kitten grabbed Valed's clothes on his shoulders, and the wind was coming towards her, which made her fall down several times. She was so anxious that she meowed, but she was filled with wind.
Seeing this, Vared grabbed her from her shoulders, opened her waist and tied her, stuffed her in, and then pulled half of the rope to tie her. Elsa was so relaxed that she poked her head out and looked at the surrounding scenery and moved back quickly. Just as she was about to scream, she remembered the loss she had suffered before, so she immediately covered her mouth with her little paws.
Maya also felt something was wrong at this moment and felt a little uneasy - Vared looked like he had a mission. He brought so many soldiers and several vampire officers to follow him. But why did he take him with him? Didn’t he always feel that he was a burden and wouldn’t he let him go to the battlefield?
Maya thought of this and asked, "Young Master, what are we doing?"
It was when Valed was in a state of great excitement that he would be able to seize half of the territory as big as Sylvania when he sent troops. Since then, Long Fei Jiuwu has been approaching the world. He heard Maya ask this question again, and then replied loudly: "Let's go conquer the world!" Then he laughed.
At the same time, when Valed rushed towards the south, he led the eight cities in the north at the border prince to raise fire at the same time. The undead soldiers who were ambushing into the city in advance suddenly attacked and killed the guards of the unprepared city gates, opened the city gate and allowed the army to enter the city! In a blink of an eye, the empty streets were covered with white skeleton soldiers holding swords and guns and looking terrifying!
The vampire commanders once again divided into two groups, one of which killed the lord's residence, and the other one charged towards the military camp in the city. They were determined to control these two key places in the shortest time.
The undead army came too fast and too fast. It was not like ordinary soldiers who set fire to the city and robbed it everywhere when they entered the city. Therefore, the speed of action was very fast. The vampire commanders had already obtained the city defense map drawn by the smugglers in recent years, and they were familiar with the situation in the city. The main force of the Border Prince lord was also dispatched to the south, and there were only a few old and weak in the city. The superposition of these three added some confidence to the successful operation of the undead army.
Vared advanced overnight and ran nearly 130 kilometers overnight. In the early morning, he arrived at the northern gate of Piedmont, a city closest to the Main Boat. From a distance, he saw that the gate was closed. The flag of the border prince on the city tower had long disappeared, and he replaced it with the Holy Grail flag of the Castein family.
He looked at each other with four other vampire officers and saw that the other party's eyes were excited. One of them couldn't help but prepare to move forward, but was pulled by Vared.
"Get out of the air first and see what the situation is." Vared said, and then he blessed himself and the other four people with floating techniques. The group of five people rose into the air and saw a group of ancient tomb guards on the front of the city holding long halberds and heavy crossbows to defend tightly. There were countless skeleton soldiers in the city patrolling back and forth with spears and signs. On the tower of the north city was a member of a brotherhood. After seeing them, he waved and cheered, and the city gate slowly opened.
Vared then felt relieved. Back on the ground, waved his hand and shouted, "Go to the city!" A group of two hundred riders entered Piedmont City. The fraternity member also quickly stepped down the city tower and met Vared and the others, and everyone's faces were full of joy.
"This time I took Piedmont City so easily. You have made great contributions. Where is the other brother?" Vared asked while being led into the city by the fraternity member.
"He led his troops to watch over the prince's family entourage and the captured defenders. Now he can't escape." The members of the Brotherhood replied.
"Okay, let's talk about it when we go to the lord's residence." Vared nodded and rode forward. Now the whole street is surrounded by large numbers of skeleton soldiers, and no civilian in the city dares to go out. Vared was not afraid of stepping on anyone to death.
When they arrived at the lord's residence, they met with another brother. Vared and the others went to the restaurant of the residence and found the largest long table to sit down. Vared sat down, and the other six brothers were placed on both sides. They listened to Vared's orders.
He first listened to the report of the two brothers who seized the city. He knew that this time the army took advantage of the city, and the reserves of the warehouses in the city were not damaged. However, the princes on the border were already very poor, and the years of war with Green Skins were warned. Therefore, the reserves in these warehouses were actually very small.
However, in the lord's residence, I searched the prince's private warehouse and found boxes of Jinlaer. Then I looked at the various utensils in the residence, either gold or silver, inlaid with gems and diamonds. The furniture was also exquisitely crafted, and I felt the luxury of these border princes.
The brothers talked about the city guards, but only five hundred, and even the servants in the official residence were only eight hundred. Some of them were killed last night. The rest were removed from their arms and were all imprisoned in the courtyard of the lord's residence. They were guarded by the skeleton soldiers of the two regiments. The family of the border prince, more than a dozen wives and seven or eight children, were all included. Asked what Vared should do.
"How is the reaction of the civilians in the city? Did they resist?" Vared didn't react much after hearing this. What he was most concerned about was the reaction of ordinary civilians who accounted for the majority.
"There is no resistance. But there is a widespread fear of us." One of the brothers said.
"It's good if you don't resist." Vared nodded and then ordered:
"Now our foundation is unstable, and we still have to rely on these humans. Write an announcement to tell those humans that we have no intention of offending them. In the future, our management, laws and taxes will remain unchanged according to the previous rules. At the same time, we must have the heads of the nearby villages and towns, the tyrants in the castle gathered here within three days. We must recognize our rule over Piedmont. We also give opportunities to the gangsters in the mountains and forests, and their deadline is fifteen days."
After hearing his words, the other brothers were a little puzzled, and someone asked, "If you want to win over those humans and make them recognize our rule, then you should reduce some taxes."
Vared shook his head: "Humans are suspicious. We are still aliens. They naturally cannot trust us. We lower taxes and implement good policies as soon as we start. They will not believe them, and they will wonder why we do this - and then they will become worse and worse. In turn, it will be bad for us. And if we say that all policies remain unchanged, they will be more stable."
After Vared finished speaking, he smiled bitterly: "There is another reason. That is, our staff is seriously insufficient. Even if we want to implement new policies, we cannot implement them. Instead of forcibly implementing new policies and finally causing chaos, it is better to slow down first and wait until someone among humans recognizes our rule, surrenders to us, and helps us manage it. Then we will talk about it."
After hearing Valed say these two reasons, the other six fraternal members nodded repeatedly. Then someone asked: "What should I do if those rich bandits, the village chiefs fail to expire?"
"Of course I killed it." Vared said lightly, causing Maya's heart, who was standing behind him, to jump suddenly.
After saying these two things, Vared continued: "You two have been busy with this matter during this period. Keep Piedmont and suppress the surrounding powerful bandits and villages. Five thousand troops are enough. I will take the remaining five thousand to continue south!"
