Chapter two hundred and seventeen, occupying the Cold Wind Mountains
After hearing the blood servant's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
A few people had just talked about the Faceless Men's hut when they sent the information over.
Regardless of whether there is definite information or not, it proves that they are working hard to investigate this matter.
"bring here."
The blood servant delivered the handwritten letter.
Red Duke took it in his hand and examined it carefully.
Slowly, the Red Duke's expression became more and more gloomy, and his brows also wrinkled.
Everyone was observing the Red Duke's expression and knew the information contained in the letter, which might not be good news.
After the Red Duke finished reading the letter, he placed it on the side table and said, "It says that Giovanni is dead."
"What? How is this possible?" Everyone couldn't believe it.
Once the Vampires grow bat wings, they will have strong mobility. Unless they die and cause trouble in some places with flying units, it will be difficult for ordinary human cities to retain Giovanni.
What's more, with the Hamilton family as the backing, the most likely option is negotiation rather than direct killing.
"Information says that someone has seen an undead creature with bat wings, which is very similar to Giovanni's image and characteristics. In all likelihood, Giovanni died and was transformed into an undead." The Red Duke continued.
"Then..., so it was done by Otis?" a vampire said.
Odis, the King of Bones, is the top undead king in this area.
Only he has the ability to transform troops and the courage to challenge the Hamilton family.
"No, it's not Otis." The Red Duke shook his head slightly, "There are two locations given above, north of Pruul City, and the orcs' Manim Market."
"I remember that Master Giovanni does have a manor on the north side of Purul City." A vampire spoke softly.
Another vampire said: "Your Majesty the Duke, I will now arrange for the light-blooded people to investigate these two places, and we will definitely find out the whereabouts of Master Giovanni."
"No, the orcs are waging a war over there. Don't arrange for people to enter there now. Who is the current lord of Purul City?" the Red Duke said unhurriedly, not disturbed by the news of Giovanni's death.
Produce a slight change.
Even though the Red Duke didn't pay attention to those scattered orcs, he didn't want to provoke those simple-minded guys.
These guys who only know how to fight and kill all day long are very troublesome to deal with. Negotiations are not as simple as having a fight first.
Furthermore, light-blooded people are vampire scouts trained by humans and can be exposed to the sun.
It is easier to integrate into human society than to be an orc.
"My lord, the Duke, is called Cyril. He is a city lord who is very mediocre in both strength and management."
The Red Duke thought for a while, but he had no impression of this person in his mind.
Huiyue Highlands is managed by the Vampire Clan, and the attached human villages need to pay enough blood taxes on a monthly basis. This has also allowed the Vampire Clan to stop hunting in human cities in the past few decades, in exchange for a period of stability for each other.
In addition, the Red Duke had been asleep for a long time, so it was naturally unclear whether the human city had changed people.
"Mediocrity is a good thing for us. We have arranged for the light-blooded people to go to Pruul City to investigate this matter. I want enough information." The Red Duke said in a deep voice.
"It's the Duke, I'll go and take care of it immediately," said a vampire.
The Red Duke nodded.
Whether you are looking for clues about Giovanni's disappearance or the sudden appearance of an undead force near the territory, it is worth waiting for a detailed investigation.
If there is really an undead force that is growing rapidly and there is no background.
He will immediately send troops to destroy this undead force, take back the vampire book, and wipe out the undead territory.
"Go to the blood kiln and select two young humans and send them to my room." The Red Duke slowly stood up and ordered softly.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke."
The blood servant nodded and went to the blood kiln to choose tonight's supper for the Duke.
…
The next day, early morning.
Fang Hao opened his eyes and stretched out.
Beside her, Yi'er was leaning on Fang Hao's arms like a kitten, looking at herself with a smile on her face.
"Morning."
Yi'er turned over and sat directly on Fang Hao, saying in a charming voice: "Master, you are lazy. It's already this hour and you still don't get up."
The smooth skin and charming voice stimulated Fang Hao's senses.
Being so excited so early in the morning is really unbearable.
At this moment, the sound transmission conch on the bedside table suddenly sent a message, proving that there was information that had been included.
Fang Hao frowned, it was the sound transmission conch left for the Fire Blade and the Tongniu.
He patted Yi'er's body lightly to signal her to stop making trouble, turned over and put the conch to her ear and listened.
Immediately afterwards, the deep voice of the copper bull came from the conch.
"Sir, we have occupied the Broken Skull Tribe. Under the persuasion of the priests, everyone in the Cold Wind Mountains is willing to surrender. We have arranged for Kenji to wait for you in the city where Lord Zhang Bin is stationed."
So fast?
According to a normal march, it would take at least three days to travel. In these two days, the Skull-Smashing Tribe has been captured?
After a second thought, I figured it out quickly.
The undead are different from the orcs. Even if the orcs have good physical strength, they still need to set up camp. If they march urgently during the day, it will still take more than three days.
But the undead don't need it, they are traveling and fighting day and night.
Coupled with the fact that ‘Clip-Kenji’ is leading the way, the journey will definitely be faster than a normal march.
The only one who needs a rest is the copper bull.
But it seemed that the Bronze Bull didn't get much rest, and followed the army straight to the Skull-Smashing Tribe.
"Master, what's wrong?" Yi'er asked curiously, already dressed.
"Well, I have to go out soon and prepare breakfast. Just keep it simple." Fang Hao also stood up and got up.
"OK."
Yi'er went downstairs to prepare breakfast, and Fang Hao also started to wash up and do some simple morning exercises.
After running around for a while, Yi'er's breakfast was ready.
Had breakfast.
Fang Hao dragged An Jia, who was still a little awake, onto the Bone Dragon.
Taking the other two bone dragons full of skeleton trolls, they soared directly into the sky.
Picking up Clip-Kenji in the city where Zhang Bin was stationed, and under his guidance, flew towards the Cold Wind Mountains and the location of the Skull-Broken Tribe.
Entering the Cold Wind Mountains, the temperature drops sharply.
The sky is filled with clouds and mist, the mountains are overlapping, and the mountain paths are winding.
Occasionally there will be a dense forest surrounded by some scattered villages.
Compared to the outside, the resources here are really poor.
Under Kenji's command, the Bone Dragon came to the sky above the Skull Crusher Tribe.
A dense army of undead surrounded the tribe in the middle.
The Bone Dragon fell, and the Fire Blade and the Bronze Bull stepped forward to greet it.
"grown ups!"
"Well, how is the situation here?" Fang Hao turned over and got off the bone dragon and asked.
"After the army came here, the other party's priests did not put up much resistance, and convinced the remaining scattered tribes in the Cold Wind Mountains to agree to surrender." Fire Blade introduced as he walked.
"What about them?"
"All the chiefs and chiefs are in the hall, waiting for you to come."
