Chapter 111 Blood Disaster
Limestone Fortress.

In the dark night, the bright moonlight shines through the clouds.

Since the fortress was built, it is experiencing the largest war in its life.

"Chi-ying!"

A sharp sound kept coming from the sky.

A huge black bat fell from the sky. It was larger than a normal human and had huge claws under its feet.

The moment of flying down to attack.

A soldier who was stabbing the air with a spear was dragged hard by the claws.

"Ahhh!" He fell off the city wall with a scream and landed among the large group of zombies below.

In an instant, he was submerged and disappeared.

"Free fire! Shoot down these damn bats for me!" an officer shouted loudly.

He grabbed a javelin next to him and threw it towards the sky.

The spear pierced through the body of a bat and knocked it down directly.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

The sound of arrows cutting through the air continued. Some were dodged by bats, while some hit their targets but could not be completely killed.

Although there was bright moonlight shining in the sky and torches lighting up the surroundings, it was still night after all.

For them, the huge bats flying in the sky were really difficult to aim at.

"They are coming up!" a soldier shouted loudly, and used the shield in his hand to slap down the zombies that were about to climb up.

With a backhanded blow, he chopped down another zombie that was crawling up.

One after another, the zombies used their powerful and sharp claws to grab the cracks in the wall and quickly climbed up the city wall.

The soldiers on the edge of the city wall kept attacking downwards with shields, swords and spears, quickly eliminating the zombies that wanted to climb the city wall.

However, the giant bats in the sky would occasionally fall, drag, and attack the soldiers, causing them great psychological pressure.

"Holy Light! Shine!"

A soft female voice came from the back of the fortress.

A soft, white light rose into the sky, its gentle glow instantly illuminating the entire fortress.

And the soft light it emits seems to warm people's hearts.

Courage suddenly surged in the hearts of countless soldiers who were frightened or oppressed by the current situation.

Timidity was whittled away.

The soft light also illuminated the battle situation in front of the fortress, and the darkness was dispelled.

The archers on the city walls can aim at their enemies more accurately under this soft holy light, making it easier for their attacks to hit the target.

In an instant, a large number of bats were shot and began to fall like raindrops.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise.

A huge object was thrown from a distance, drew an arc, and slammed hard into the back of the city wall.

The enormous force instantly smashed a big hole in the ceiling of a house in the fortress.

Before the people behind could react, a group of all kinds of zombies suddenly jumped out from the ruins of the house.

You can see that many zombies have different impact and crush injuries.

The ball of flesh that was thrown over like a cannonball turned out to be a group of zombies.

The zombies that escaped immediately began to indiscriminately attack the surroundings.

"What the hell! How did they get in?!"

Some soldiers were caught off guard and were knocked to the ground by the rushing zombies.

Fortunately, the soldier next to him was quick-witted and swung his sword, directly chopping off the zombie's head.

Although these zombies came suddenly, their number was not large, and their attacks aroused the vigilance of the people around them.

Soon the soldiers below cleared out these zombies.

"How the hell did they get in?"

Before he could get an answer, a voice came from above his head, forcing him to look up.

A thing like a meat ball hit him directly. When the group of meat ball-like things dispersed, some zombies still had part of the soldier's body in their mouths.

The ghouls pitched the ball, causing chaos in the rear.

Most of the bats in the sky had been killed or injured. With another cry, the remaining giant bats began to retreat.

With the departure of air units, a large number of long-range shooting units are freed up.

Large swathes of arrows began to fly in support. It could only be said that this was indeed a fantasy world. All the soldiers who could draw their bows and aim could shoot arrows with exceptional accuracy.

You can almost make your attacks hit the enemy accurately, at least hit the enemy's body.

With the help of the archers, the attack became difficult, whether it was the zombie balls thrown into the back or the zombies in the front who were climbing the city walls and trying to rush into the fortress.

After leaving behind a large number of zombie corpses, the remaining zombies began to retreat. As for those thrown into the fortress, naturally no one cared about them, and only corpses were left.

Several lightly injured soldiers were quickly carrying some seriously injured soldiers away.

"Pastor!" they shouted.

Carrying the wounded, they entered the innermost medical area of the fortress.

"Leave it to me, you take care of their injuries." A priest said as he carried the seriously injured people in.

The young priest who looked much younger beside him began to treat the soldiers who were less seriously injured.

"What a monster! Which country actually uses this kind of alchemical monster as cannon fodder? It's really shameful." A paladin slammed his sword hard and said angrily.

But there was nothing else they could do except being angry. As paladins of the Church of Holy Light, they could not casually take action in such a situation.

Unless they leave the Church of Holy Light and become wandering paladins.

In this way, they will not be bound by the rules of this world and can do what they want to do for justice.

"Well, the war situation in front seems to have eased. And I heard that the people of that country have turned into some kind of monsters." said another paladin.

This paladin's appearance is obviously slightly different from that of a human, with fine scales behind his ears and on his neck.

Even his eyes did not have pupils like those of a human, but vertical pupils like those of a cold-blooded animal.

"So that's the case? Why can't we take action?" The paladin was actually still a little angry.

"It's simple. The Church of Holy Light is just a church. The fact that we can preach in so many countries and have our message accepted in most of them is due to our credibility."

After saying this, the Paladin pointed at himself and said, "Just like me, there are many sub-human or non-human races in the church.

That's why there are conflicts between nations, and the rule that we must not interfere, and we are only allowed to provide aid to civilians and the wounded."

Hearing his words, the young paladin, although angry, could only sigh.

After all, that's what it is.

Although this group of creatures looks like dark monsters in the wild.

But judging from the information obtained, they are most likely a new race that was definitely transformed by the [Stone of Creation].

The most important thing is that the country’s leadership and government have not collapsed. They still belong to one country, but the main ethnic group has been transformed.

The current situation is that the Kingdom of Savro has invaded the Kingdom of Cohen.

This is a power conflict between countries.

The church has no right to interfere, nor can it interfere.

Because they are a neutral organization.

Even if there were an all-out attack by orcs on humans, or an all-out attack by elves on orcs, they would not be able to participate.

We can only try our best to find ways to ease the tension between the two sides, or even stop the useless war.

There is no way, after all, some members of the Holy Light Church come from various races in this world.

They also need to carry out church education and propaganda among almost every race.

You must know that the holy light worshipped by the Church of Holy Light is the first power that has the potential to be on par with magic since the birth of magic.

He is a force that faces all life equally, as long as you are committed to justice.

Sometimes you can only take advantage of loopholes or save civilians affected by the war.

Soon, the first offensive launched by the vampires retreated.

Leaving behind a large number of corpses and a large number of wounded on the human side.

The attacks of those giant bats and the fangs and claws in the mouths of the ghouls all carry varying degrees of infection risk.

If you are injured by these two creatures, you must undergo certain disinfection.

"No, with our military strength, we can't stop them at all if we continue like this." An officer sat in the command room, his voice unusually melancholy.

The one sitting in the main seat was the lord of this territory, Prince Anstar. "The enemy is too numerous. According to information received from Paladin Anita, the group of monsters called ghouls and the group of bats we faced today were merely the enemy's vanguard, or cannon fodder."

The vampires similar to us who truly constitute their combat power have not yet taken action.

If this continues, I suspect we might just lose once they prepare for a one-time attack.

By then, the entire princedom will face their attacks head-on."

Another officer, who saw things more clearly and knew more information, came to the same conclusion.

The entire command room was a little solemn.

Anstar simply tapped the tabletop with his hands, making a crisp sound.

After a little thought, he looked towards the end of this position.

That old man.

"Bishop, what do you think?"

The white-bearded bishop opened his eyes and took a look. "With the fortress's current strength, the chances of holding it are very low."

The prince nodded, accepting the opinion he had already seen clearly.

The bishop knew what he wanted to ask and said, "There is something wrong with this race, and there is something wrong with this country.

I had a feeling I was onto something, but I was an old man after all.

If what I envisioned were to turn out as I expected, I would send this message to the Cathedral.

By then, the crisis caused by the new race in the Kingdom of Safuro will most likely be resolved."

To be honest, the bishop felt that the vampires were truly an evil race, even though they were transformed from the [Stone of Creation].

This race will inevitably become the enemy of most races and is an evil existence that needs to be eliminated.

You must know that the race changed by the Stone of Creation is completely different from the race that grows naturally.

This shows that the people who used the Creation Stone to change others were malicious from the beginning and were born with original sin.

The prince pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and looked at the bishop: "What do you need?"

"Information. More information about this new race."

"Okay, I'll try. I hope your guess is correct."

The bishop smiled.

Another officer asked, "Need to seek support during this time?"

The prince nodded: “Of course, we need more.

Get a few corpses, pack them up, and send them to the capital, so they can see what we're fighting against."

The officer nodded.

……

Lakeshore Village.

The Earl had already left the village with his men and a group of soldiers.

As the count took away a large number of soldiers, the whole village suddenly became deserted.

The people who maintain order in the village have become militiamen, and only twenty or thirty soldiers are left patrolling around.

The few remaining knights were still patrolling the route from the coast to the village.

At this time, in the village next to the village, Kulin Village.

Blake was looking at the group of halflings in front of him.

"Blue, Alex..."

As the names were called, six halflings stood out. They looked unremarkable, and from their appearance, they seemed no different from ordinary halflings.

"According to your wishes, the six of you are now incorporated into the Night's Watch's battle sequence.

Leave with us tomorrow morning and act together."

The six halflings were very happy to hear this. After hearing it, they went straight back to their homes and got ready.

"Are you two sisters going too?" Kana said, looking at them.

Lelia nodded as a matter of course.

Abisi said, "We also want to see the vast sky outside. Besides, didn't you say before that we should understand what we are doing and what we are fighting against?"

"In that case, let's go back and prepare."

With the Earl's departure, Kana and the others also prepared to leave.

The time is almost right now. If you continue to wait, you will only miss the opportunity. It is better to go there in advance and prepare.

There was no need to worry too much about the dangers in the villages for the time being. After all, both villages had two ogres patrolling back and forth from time to time.

Not to mention the many digitized halflings in Curry Village, among whom there are more than 100 level three beings.

After this period of rapid military training, they will definitely have the advantage in real combat where injuries are exchanged for injuries, and they will be able to defeat the strong with the weak.

So Kana was planning to take all of his main players away at once.

After all, this time, in addition to targeting the vampires and stealing the Creation Stone from them.

Kana also expects to engage in battle with some "invaders," which is a rare source of experience.

He was just about to mention the strength of the main team.

After all, without level 5 strength, it would not be too safe to some extent.

By the way, we can also let them see what their main work will be in the future.

How to fight the "invaders".

What kind of situations and curses are you facing?

……

At this time, the Earl's troops had reached the dwarves.

"Aren't you going to stay? I'm preparing a banquet for you." said a dwarf.

It looked as if this dwarf was some kind of leader.

The Earl declined the offer and waved his hand: "The situation at Graystone Fortress is not good. We need to rush over to provide support."

Hearing this, the dwarf nodded without trying to persuade him to stay: "The situation over there is indeed not very good. In that case, let's forget it.

I'll treat you to a drink next time I see you."

Under the escort and guidance of the dwarves, the Earl's troops quickly passed through the channels on the dwarf side and headed for the Gray Mountain Fortress.

At the same time, the earl handed a letter to the dwarf, who gave it to Lurik.

At this time, Lurek opened the envelope and looked at the arrival of another letter from Cana.

The letter contained simple greetings.

Then after a while, the night watchman will come to visit.

And the advice to them to be careful of the vampires. After all, because of them, the dwarves who originally did not have much presence now appeared clearly in Martin's sight.

It would be almost impossible if there were no vampire troops coming to attack.

After reading the letter, Lurek nodded. They had already anticipated what Cana was worried about.

The Gray Mountain Outpost in the north has already strengthened patrols and reconnaissance, and has also deployed more troops.

Although the Gray Mountain Dwarves are few in number, they are not weak in strength. If the vampires dare to come, let them taste the power of the mountains.

After reading the letter, he came to the council chamber where the three-member council was located.

The brewmaster and the castle owner are both here.

"Lurik, you are here. This is a letter from the prince. He hopes we can supply more weapons.

If possible, he even hopes that we can send some troops over to provide support, as he believes the vampires' invasion will not spare the dwarves."

Lurik walked over and picked it up. Seeing the required quantity, he frowned. "That's too many. I don't have that many blacksmiths right now. Besides, the furnace temperature has dropped a bit at this time, so weapons won't be easy to forge."

The so-called three-person council naturally means that the three dwarves each have their own areas of expertise.

The castle lord coordinates and presides over the project, the brewer provides logistical management and maintenance, and the blacksmith Lurick manufactures and sells the goods.

As can be seen from their occupations and titles, they are an indispensable part of dwarf life.

Most dwarf forces have such a structure.

"In that case, I'll write a letter to reject them." The castle lord said casually.

The brewmaster took a sip of beer, slammed the table, and stared at the other two with a very serious face: "Let's talk about the letter that Getari sent back earlier. What do you think?"

This happened before, when Anita and the others were escorting the messenger from the Kingdom of Cohen. At that time, Getari wrote a letter.

"A blessing from everyone..."

"It's too important to be decided solely by us..."
