The Original Vampire

The news of the Duchess's death was like a whirlwind, which swept the White Dew Castle in an instant.

Wherever he went, there were people in shock, panic, and at a loss.

In particular, the group of eastern nobles gathered at the gate of Bailubao, while shocked, all began to worry about their own safety.

First, the Count of Angele was assassinated, then the Marquis of Vincent was killed, and now even the Duchess has not been spared...

In their eyes, Fort Bailu had become an extremely dangerous place, and the idea of ​​escaping from this place could no longer be suppressed.

"Please open the door and let us go!"

"That's right, since the St. Pros family can't guarantee the stability and safety of Fort Bailu, what qualifications do they have to forcibly detain us!"

"I'm leaving today, let's see who dares to stop me!"

...

Looking at the group of nobles who were excited and even began to force their way, the guards didn't know what to do.

Knight Warren, the captain of the guards at Whiteloo Castle, who was originally guarding here, also went to check it as soon as he heard the news of the Duchess's death.

Knight Warren was not there, and the news of the Duchess's death made the guards panic, so in the face of the nobles who rushed up, the guards did not dare to stop them, and could only let them forcibly open the castle gate and leave.

When they went out, the nobles finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could go far, they saw a figure standing in the middle of the street, as if waiting for them.

"Earl Evan?"

"Dear guests, is the St. Pros family not well entertained? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Earl Evan asked with a smile.

A group of eastern nobles looked at each other, and then one of the viscounts stood up and said:

"Lord Count, it's not that we don't want to stay in White Dew Castle, but that there are obviously some... problems within the St. Pros family. In order to avoid greater confusion and unnecessary misunderstandings, we decided to leave first."

"Problem? I don't know what's wrong in Fort White?"

The nobles recounted every death incident that happened in Bailu Castle.

After listening to Earl Evan, there was no joy or anger on his face, but he said lightly:

"Everyone, the St. Pros family has indeed encountered some difficulties now, but are you ready to walk away because of this? Have you forgotten all the pledges of allegiance you once made?"

Such questioning immediately caused a commotion among the nobles of the Eastern Realm.

Some are ashamed, some are disapproving, and some are silent, deliberately pretending not to hear...

Earl Evan's eyes slowly swept across, and he could see the expressions on the faces of the nobles of the Eastern Realm.

He was not disappointed or angry, because he knew very well that loyalty is actually like a gorgeous vase that usually decorates the facade, but when the real storm hits, it often falls into a mess.

However, not all vases are destined to be unable to keep out the wind and rain, as long as you can show them benefits and hope.

"What are you panicking about? The St. Pros family has never experienced any storms. Did such a small problem make you lose confidence?"

Earl Evan's eyes once again swept across the eastern nobles in front of him,

Only this time, there is less scrutiny and more encouragement and expectation.

"I am confident that I can stabilize the situation in Bailu City, but I need your help.

Those who believe in me can stay, and those who don't believe in me can leave.

This is your choice.

Of course, those who are willing to stay, I solemnly promise you on behalf of the St. Pros family—

Loyalty is sure to be rewarded! "

After saying these words, Earl Evan turned around and turned his back to the nobles of the Eastern Realm, expressing that he would never interfere with their choices.

The nobles suddenly became agitated.

Many people took this opportunity to leave quietly.

But more people stayed.

Because they realized one thing from Earl Evan's confident attitude and the promise that he pointed out just now-

Now Earl Avon is the first in line to inherit the Duke of Eastland!

If you lend a helping hand at this time, then Earl Avon will succeed in the future, and they will definitely get rich rewards.

On the contrary, if you leave now, it will be regarded as a betrayal, and once Earl Avon becomes the Duke of the East, there will be a liquidation and suppression.

If the Duchess is still alive, then most of the eastern nobles may hesitate, but now, the possibility of Earl Evan's succession is unprecedented.

After a while, Earl Evan turned around again and showed a sincere smile to the remaining Eastern nobles, saying:

"Congratulations, you made the right choice!"

A nobleman came out of the crowd and said:

"Lord Count, we believe that you can bring stability and prosperity to the East, so please do whatever we need to do now!"

Earl Evan nodded and said directly:

"I need you to convene the army immediately and attack the Pegasus Legion!"

All the aristocrats of the Eastern Realm were suddenly dumbfounded.

"Lord Count... You are right? You want us to attack the Pegasus Legion? Shouldn't it be to suppress the betrayed Nicole family army?"

Earl Evan shook his head and said solemnly:

"No. It is the Pegasus Legion who have truly betrayed, and the Nicole family is the force loyal to the St. Pros family."

Hearing this, some smart nobles finally reacted——

In the Pegasus Legion, there are strengths loyal to the Duke of St. Pros, Marquis Vincent, Duchess, and even Knight Ivan, but there is no strength loyal to Earl Evan.

Therefore, this direct army of the St. Pros family is not actually the help of Earl Evan at all. On the contrary, it may even become an obstacle to his succession as the Duke of the East!

After some chatter, the unresponsive nobles also came back to their senses and expressed their agreement with Earl Avon's proposal.

Fighting the Blood Cavalry, they were scared to death, but when it comes to dealing with the Pegasus Army, especially this newly rebuilt Pegasus Army with low combat effectiveness, these nobles are still not afraid.

So, with the order of Earl Evan, the nobles dispersed and went to gather their own troops.

Earl Evan stood alone in front of White Dew Castle, hesitated for a moment, but still did not choose to go in.

Now that the lords have been persuaded to gather troops to attack the Pegasus Legion, Earl Avon feels that he does not need to enter Bailu Fort anymore.

The situation in the castle is too complicated and dangerous, at least until the situation in Bailu City is stabilized, Earl Avon will not take risks.

Turning around, Earl Evan just wanted to leave, but found a familiar figure.

"Anna? Why did you come here too?"

Anna looked at her brother coldly and asked, "Brother, you still said that you didn't betray your family?"

Earl Evan suddenly had a headache and had to explain patiently:

"Anna, listen to me, the Tianma Army has long been the source of the chaos in Bailu City. If I want to stabilize the situation, I must..."

Anna, however, didn't seem to listen to Earl Evan's explanation at all, so she pulled out the giant sword behind her, and rushed over!

"Sister! You..."

Swish!

The huge sword body swept through a ferocious arc in the air, but it wiped Earl Evan's body and swept to the shadow of the street corner!

boom!

In the splash of gravel, a huge figure was forced out.

He was shrouded in a blood-colored smoke screen, and his face could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of black bat wings stretched out more than ten meters to both sides, and the huge shadow almost shrouded most of the street.

Earl Evan turned his head back in horror and blurted out:

"Winged Knight!"
