The Original Vampire

The night was dark.

Under the cold moonlight, the storm fortress standing among the mountains is like a sleeping beast.

Mark lay in the open-air camp, looking at the fortress wall not far away, countless thoughts passed through his mind.

His body was extremely exhausted after a day's work, but Mark tossed and turned until midnight and couldn't fall asleep.

Ever since he learned of the rumor that Mr. Ho is about to sacrifice Storm Fortress, Mark has been unable to keep his peace of mind.

In fact, Mark himself was already prepared to die in battle. If his death really helped Mr. Ho to kill the orc emperor, Mark would not feel too angry and fearful even though he was a little unwilling.

But he also has a younger brother in the fortress.

If both brothers are dead, who will worship the parents far away from home?

What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of refugees from the western border in the fortress. .

These people were not soldiers, and Mark felt it was his responsibility to get them out.

Therefore, Mark has quietly disclosed this rumor in the past two days, and most of the soldiers in the team have already learned the news.

However, due to the presence of the overseers and the fact that these soldiers were drawn from various units and did not know each other, they could not unite in a short time due to lack of trust and tacit understanding. Fright and anxiety are pressing in my heart, watching, waiting...

Seeing that the construction of the city wall reinforcement was drawing to a close, Mark was not ready to wait any longer.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Mark moved his body carefully outside the camp. Whenever the soldiers on the night patrol passed by, Mark immediately lay on the ground and pretended to be asleep.

After arriving at the edge of the camp without any danger, just when Mark thought he was not far from success, a majestic voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Where are you going?"

Mark froze, turned his head slowly, and was thinking about what excuse he should use to prevaricate it, when suddenly he heard a broken sound.

The next second, I saw that the throat of the supervisor behind him had been pierced by an arrow feather!

"Ho...ho..." The overseer stared, covering his throat with one hand, and grabbing randomly in front of him with the other.

"what happened?"

This movement disturbed the soldiers on the night watch not far away, and a series of rapid footsteps made Mark wake up from a dream. Run away.

Mark's flight seemed to be a signal, and the other soldiers in the camp immediately stood up and started to flee.

At the same time, some people kept shouting:

"Mr. Ho wants to sacrifice Storm Fortress! We'll all be burned by him! Run away!"

The camp immediately exploded, and the overseers and guards immediately started to suppress the riot, but to their horror, their own people were constantly being killed by various dark arrows and cold knives.

It was as if a cold-blooded killer was hiding in the dark night, mercilessly reaping his prey.

Mark ran all the way forward.

The warm night wind whizzed past his ears, and there were continuous roars and screams behind him, but he just ran forward and didn't dare to look back.

As time went by, Mark discovered that the riots in the fortress did not seem to be the only place where he had just escaped. There were faint shouts from all directions. At this moment, the sleeping giant beast in the storm fortress was finally awakened.

"elder brother?"

A familiar voice made Mark stop. He leaned on his knees and gasped, then grabbed his younger brother who ran in front of him, and roared:

"Quick! Run! Get out of the fort!"

...

The central castle, in front of the emperor's bedroom.

A group of anxious-looking imperial nobles are trying to negotiate with the guards.

"What's the matter with your majesty? Why can't you see anyone?"

"I'm sorry, my lord, I don't know what your majesty is sick with, but I can't let you in."

Earl Nicole stared, his gray beard stood up, and said anxiously: "Even if there are rumors in the fortress now, people are panicking, isn't Your Majesty going to see us?"

"Sorry, Count, I'm just following orders..."

"Whose order are you on?"

"It's my order!"

Count Nicole turned his head and saw that the crowd behind him gradually separated to both sides, revealing a graceful and noble figure.

"His Royal Highness." Earl Nicole quickly turned around and saluted, and then asked, "His Royal Highness, what happened to Your Majesty?"

Queen Midella slowly stepped forward, with a sad face, and said:

"Your Majesty's heart grieves the countless soldiers of the Empire who died in the Tianduan Mountains, as well as the people in the West who were ravaged by the orc army. The grief is excessive, and coupled with the exhaustion of dealing with the orc army, this is not a disease."

"But Your Highness, there are rumors going around in Storm Fortress. Isn't Your Majesty not going to come forward and clarify?"

"What rumors?" Queen Midella asked indifferently.

"Some of the soldiers who participated in the reinforcement of the city wall discovered that the building materials used were actually carbon stone, and then there were rumors... that Mr. Ho was in the storm fortress, and he was planning to set fire to the place, sacrifice everyone, and cast a forbidden spell. To assassinate the Orc Emperor."

In fact, the complete rumor is that the queen colluded with Mr. Hooka and prepared to sacrifice the Storm Fortress, but Earl Nicole would definitely not dare to tell the complete rumor in front of Queen Midella.

Queen Midella didn't seem surprised at all when she heard the words, nodded and said:

"Yes, Mr. Ho is preparing to sacrifice Storm Fortress."

"what?"

A group of nobles suddenly burst into an uproar.

Immediately, a terrible thought appeared in their minds——

Are the rumors true?

Is it really the queen who colluded with Mr. Ho to prepare to sacrifice Storm Fortress?

So... what about His Majesty the Emperor?

I don't know if it was because of fear or because of anger, Count Nicole's body began to tremble uncontrollably. His cloudy eyes stared at Queen Midella, and asked in a deep voice:

"His Royal Highness! How are you going to deal with Mr. Ho's crazy behavior?"

Queen Midella's cold gaze slowly swept across the group of imperial nobles and officers, and finally stopped on Count Nicole and said:

"I'm going to let him complete this sacrifice!"

wow——

The crowd exploded immediately.

They never thought that Queen Midella would directly and frankly want to cooperate with a demon like Mr. Ho, and she was also preparing to sacrifice Storm Fortress!

Today's Storm Fortress has gathered the main force of the Radiance Empire, as well as hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Western Region, and the total number has even exceeded one million!

"Your Highness! How could you do this?"

"Your Highness! You are destroying the foundation of the empire!"

"We want to see Your Majesty!"

...

Facing the excited crowd, Queen Midella remained calm and composed, and her crisp and firm voice sounded again:

"Without sacrifice, there is no glory!

This is our only chance to dismantle the orc army!

If these people in the Storm Fortress are not reluctant to bear, then more people in the Radiant Empire will lose their lives under the poison of the orcs.

All sins, all responsibilities, I will bear with all my strength!

After today, I will use my life to atone for all the sacrifices in Storm Fortress! "
