Section 49 Conquest
"What did you say!" Carrie sighed. "If you don't have this confidence, then leave everything to me."
"Leave it to you?"
"Well, although I am now serving as your coach, nanny, consultant and staff, these are not my job. My job is "management". At that time, Lord Qinxin created me for this purpose. It was with my help that Lord Qinxin could successfully rule Kalean... Managing such a small territory is just a piece of cake for me!" Carrie said proudly. "I can turn Sivania into a land completely under your control... You will be the only and highest ruler here, and everything else must be bowed in front of you."
Eshu Rufate did not answer, but used his dark vision to watch the battle beneath his feet.
The battle in Castle Square has ended. The soldiers who rushed out were repelled by endless zombies and were forced to retreat back to their camps and use the terrain to guard them. On the surface, they obtained more favorable terrain and could persist in the battle, but in fact, they were divided and surrounded by zombies. This was a forced drinking poison to quench their thirst. For them, destruction was only a matter of time. There was no magic support during the entire battle, which shows that Neil's news was very correct. The magicians affiliated with the church left with the person in charge.
At this time, at the distant entrance, the magic bell that emitted an alarm was ringing. I don’t know what the church used to spread the bell so far. But the alarm was completely futile. At this time, the demise of the castle itself was only a matter of time. How can I have free time to deal with the crisis in the distant entrance?
Ashurufat had only one person, so he simply gave up his specific control of the zombies in that direction. He just pointed out one direction and allowed a large group of zombies to attack the entrance area, and the other things were delivered to the zombies' instinct as undead creatures. However, it seemed that the situation there was also smooth. In fact, the situation at the entrance of the excavator was better than the castle. Because in the castle, the church soldiers were trapped by the castle walls and had nowhere to escape. At the entrance, once the situation really deteriorated to irreversible, the defenders at least had a chance to escape outside.
It's finally dawn.
The remaining defenders realized the desperate scene in front of them, and countless dead people approached them with staggering steps. Although the battle had lasted for a night, more zombies continued to pour into the castle at every moment. Some people recognized that these zombies were the hard-working criminals who died and buried here before, and this caused more fear. When the crimes committed by a person or a group were made public, the fear and regret caused can often directly defeat people's hearts. Many soldiers gave up on the battle and retreated in the crying sounds, which only further squeezed the small amount of space left. Although these dead people were slow and staggering, they never knew how to shrink.
The two-legged flying dragon condensed by the wind of shadows was also discovered. Some of the remaining defenders realized that the enemy was commanding the battle situation at high altitude, or at least observing the battle situation. However, they were powerless to do anything about this at this time.
"Master, there is someone on the hillside, on the other side!" Carrie suddenly warned.
Ashu Rufate looked along Carrie's guidance and there was indeed someone there. To be more specific, he was a rider riding a horse. I don't know where he came from, but he seemed to have been standing on a far higher place, observing the battle in the castle.
"Well, master, it seems to be Eric." Carrie said. "Go down to meet him, and the magic lasts almost the end."
Ashu Rufate landed on his magic mount. Carrie was right, it was Eric here. Although it was a bit incredible that he appeared here at this time. However, Ashu Rufate guessed that the other party might have come after the zombie group attacked the entrance level. Regardless of whether the defenders resisted stubbornly or escaped from the gate under attack, the zombies without targets will soon lose their target and separate. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Eric could easily come here even if he was alone.
The battle in the castle is without suspense, and it doesn't even require the command of Ash Rufate. The spontaneous instinctive actions of zombies are enough to deal with this situation. It's just a matter of time.
The magic mount landed on the ground, and after Ash Rufate left, it turned into black smoke and dissipated into the air. Eric turned his horse's head and watched the vampire falling from the sky.
"Duke of Blood, you have won, why do you have to get rid of the roots?" Eric asked without emotion.
"Because..." Ashu Rufate wanted to answer, but for some reason, he couldn't give a reasonable explanation at once. He could only face the other party with a smile.
"They don't have any chance now," Eric continued. "Killing them all doesn't bring you more honor and victory."
"Master, this is an opportunity!" Carrie whispered in her mind. "You can tie Eric and us tighter together. Since you value his abilities, you should not miss this opportunity."
"I don't want to do something so mean." Ashu Rufate replied in his mind.
"Master, this is not despicable, but a necessary political wisdom. Just like deceiving the enemy on the battlefield, it is definitely not a despicable action. Besides, in this case, you have no second choice."
Eric stared at the vampire in front of him. The other party did not show his fangs now, so his face looked exactly the same as that of a human. Perhaps because of his words just now, a smile appeared on the corner of the vampire's mouth.
"I can give them this opportunity," replied the vampire. "If they choose to surrender, then they can survive. However, this matter requires an envoy to persuade the surrender."
"I can act temporarily." Eric replied. Of course, he knew that in this way, everyone would think that he was a vampire's subordinate. Although he was probably regarded as a vampire's subordinate due to the planning of escape, once he persuaded the vampire to surrender, this view would go further, enough to make any defense in the future futile. But he knew that he had no choice.
The vampire took out a piece of fabric from his body, shook it hard, and displayed a red dragon-shaped flag in front of Eric.
"Bring this flag. This is my blood dragon flag. Take him and the zombies will not attack you."
Eric picked up a branch from the side of the road, renovated it with a sword, and then hung a flag. While he was doing this, Eshu Rufate gave the original order to the zombies in the distance with his will. He knew that Eric's persuasion would succeed, because the remaining defenders had no choice.
Eric came, which means that the entrance of the excavator was open at this moment. His subordinates outside the excavator should have arrived soon. The remaining work can be completed quickly.
...
Mir City is an important city in the south of the Ryan Kingdom. Originally it belonged to that kind of remote area and was only suitable as a noble territory, but now, with the development of the southern Sivania region, it has become an important transportation hub in the south of the Kingdom. Taking advantage of the opportunity of inheritance disputes, the king took the rule of the city back to his own hands and appointed the governor to govern the city.
The facts proved that this decision was correct. In the past decade, the Kingdom of Mir received a large amount of commercial taxes every year. Although Sivania is a newly developed remote area, it has many rare specialties in other places. The advantageous position of Mir itself makes it advantageous in related commercial activities. A previous blockade order from the Governor directly made many merchants lose the opportunity to make money. However, if these merchants cursed the new Governor countless times, they are now praising the wise official with the same number of times. Because it was this wise Governor that these people avoided a greater danger.
In the official residence of Mir City, one of them looks ordinary, has a simple temperament, and is dressed very simply. In short, it is the kind of man who can't remember his characteristics after passing by the crowd, looking at a huge map hanging on the wall.
This man was Berel, general of Tiberius, and currently acting governor of the city of Mir. He held a pen in his hand and frowned, as if he was thinking about a complex problem carefully in front of the map.
He thought too much, and he was not sure that he could not hear a cry of "Master" from behind him, and he was shocked and came to his senses.
"Ah, Robin, it's you."
"Sir, the latest military situation!" Robin's face was an extremely anxious look. He did have reason to be anxious, and bad news from Sivania came one after another. The information he brought was the last and worst result. In the Sivania region, Via, which belongs to Tiberius, has also been captured by vampires.
Berel picked up the letter, glanced slightly, and returned to the front of the map. But this time, instead of continuing to ponder, he wiped off some of the lines he had drawn before with a piece of cloth.
"The movement is really fast." After doing this, Beller smacked his lips and exclaimed. "The timing is impeccable, the time, place, and people are all available. He is truly a disciple of Thomas, the bloody Duke. Robin, you should learn it."
"Sir, this is not the time to praise the enemy. That's a vampire! Vampire!"
Robin didn't know how much he regretted it. If he had known that Ashu Ruffat was the vampire who started a rebellion in Sivania, then he should have killed him directly at that time. However, this point is not confirmed at present. Maybe the vampire and the traveler were just the same name. However, if the two were the same, they should have poisoned the cup when they poured wine for him.
"Sir, you are here watching the vampires conquer the entire Sivania, but are you doing nothing here? I said we should go to Sivania!" After saying that, Robin regretted it. No wonder Belle. Belle only has a small army that is barely able to maintain public order (and the command does not strictly belong to him). How could he send troops to Sivania? Even if he went there, it would be a clever woman who would be unable to cook without rice. No matter how capable Belle is, he would not be able to fight against the huge undead legion under the vampire without any troops.
But it wouldn't be unfair to blame Ryan for this matter. The vampire inciting rebellion has been going on for several years. Although the top leaders have noticed it, it seems that the vampire is weak and at most it is just harassment and cannot become a climate. And it will definitely take a lot of effort to eradicate the vampire rebels, so it would be better to throw this problem to the local lords to solve it. Besides, Sivania has multiple troops, and it should be more than enough to deal with a vampire. No one expected that the vampire suddenly summoned a large army and occupied the entire Sivania in one fell swoop.
After all, it’s all the blame for that vampire being too cunning.
