Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

'Based on the sentry positioning habits of the vampire army, they should be hiding... here! ...Hmm? No?'

As the Director of the Night's Watch of the Empire, Nangong Ru has been active on the Great Wall for many years and has extensive experience fighting against dark races, including many battles against vampire forces.

Nangong Ru was very familiar with the habits of these vampires, and naturally she was also very familiar with the pattern of the vampire army's sentry deployment.

However, Nangong Ru, along with Cang Feng and a group of Night Watchmen, circled the vampire camp again and again, checking every corner where vampire sentries might be hiding, but they still couldn't find a single vampire soldier...

"What on earth is going on?"

Nangong Ru really couldn't understand it.

Cang Feng looked around.

At that moment, he seemed to notice something, and his glasses reflected a slight light.

"Come and see."

Cang Feng beckoned everyone over.

Nangong Ru was puzzled and immediately came to his side.

"What did you find?"

The other watchmen also gathered around.

"Look."

Cang Feng placed one hand on the ground: "The soil here is very loose; it's obviously been disturbed just now..."

Then, he took out his weapon and dug into the ground.

The bodies of vampire soldiers buried underground were revealed.

"This is......?!"

Xiao Wu was shocked.

"It seems that someone has already been to this vampire camp before us."

Cang Feng analyzed, "That person is very professional. This corpse was even treated, with mortar powder used to neutralize the smell of blood and decay. I think the vampire sentinels around this camp were all taken care of by this person."

Nangong Ru seemed to be deep in thought.

"So, does this mean all the vampire soldiers in this entire camp have been...?"

Nangong Ru immediately headed towards the vampire camp.

Upon entering the camp, still no sentries appeared...

She pulled open a tent, went inside, and saw eight coffins inside.

Nangong Ru walked to the coffin, her expression suddenly changing.

Each of these coffins had a small hole pierced with a sharp sword.

She opened the coffin.

In each coffin lay the corpse of a vampire soldier.

They were all killed by a single sword while they were asleep!

Clearly, someone pierced the coffin from the outside with a weapon, which also pierced the vampire soldier lying inside!

The vampire soldiers in the eight coffins all died in the same way...

Next, Nangong Ru, Cang Feng, and the other watchmen quickly inspected the other tents.

The situation inside each tent was the same...

"These vampires were all killed with a single sword strike while they were asleep, dying without even feeling any pain," Cang Feng said calmly, looking around the camp. "There are no signs of a struggle in the entire camp. It seems that whoever did this assassinated the entire vampire squad while they were asleep during the day, without anyone noticing..."

Xiao Wu was taken aback: "One person? How do you know all of this was done by the same person? Why not many people?"

“All the wounds are the same, so they must have come from the same sword.” Cang Feng touched the material of the coffin: “A coffin made of this material can only be broken by a Hundred Souls Realm expert or a Heaven Realm-level red-quality weapon.”

The middle-aged night watchman looked astonished: "Really? Who has such ability? To assassinate the entire vampire squad all by themselves before we did? ... Could it be that the Empire discovered we lost contact and sent another powerful figure to reinforce us?"

"..."

Nangong Ru remained silent.

Vampires possess strong sensory abilities, especially those responsible for daytime sentry duty, who all possess ultrasonic sensing abilities.

Even she herself admitted that it was impossible for her to silently eliminate an entire camp of vampire soldiers all by herself.

After all, in this place, her level is suppressed to the Hundred Souls Realm.

So what kind of ability does the person who did this have?

"Sister Ru!"

A female night watchwoman ran over at that moment.

"what's up?"

Nangong Ru turned her head.

The female watchwoman hurriedly said, "Another unusual coffin has been found in the camp over there. It wasn't broken, and it seems there are still vampires alive inside!"

"Oh?" Nangong Ru's eyes flickered.

Are there still survivors?

The group immediately rushed to the tent.

Nangong Ru, Cang Feng, and the others saw the pitch-black coffin.

"dong dong dong"

Cang Feng reached out and tapped on the coffin, saying, "This coffin is made of a different material than the previous ones. I think it must be the coffin of the commander of this vampire army."

As a Night Watchman who frequently clashed with vampires, Nangong Ru immediately recognized a certain symbol on the coffin and narrowed her eyes: "This is not an ordinary commander; he should be a vampire noble viscount."

"Oh?" Cang Feng glanced at her, then looked at the coffin again: "Judging from the outside, the coffin has not been damaged, and the vampire sleeping inside should still be alive."

"That's strange," Xiao Wu said suspiciously. "Since that big shot killed all the vampire soldiers in this camp, why did he leave the enemy commander alive? Why didn't he kill him while he was asleep?"

"......have no idea."

"Perhaps... some big shot missed it?"

"...Do you think that's possible? How could such a big shot make such a basic mistake?"

"Sister Ru, shall we open the coffin?"

"......"

Nangong Ru's eyes darkened.

In her mind, the image of her father dying in battle on the battlefield of all races flashed before her eyes...

He died at the hands of the vampire legion!

"...Never mind, don't rush."

Nangong Ru let out a deep breath.

In the end, her reason prevailed over the flames of revenge in her heart.

"Regardless of why that powerful figure spared the vampire viscount, I think there must have been a reason."

Nangong Ru thought for a moment: "It's better not to alarm them for now."

The other Night's Watchmen nodded: "Yes."

"Huh?" The female watchwoman noticed a red longsword on a table inside the tent and picked it up. "This sword is so beautiful! It must be at least pink quality, right?... Sister Ru, this should be that vampire viscount's sword, shouldn't it?"

Nangong Ru's eyes flashed when she saw the sword in the female watchman's hand: "Don't move!"

“…Huh?” The female watchwoman paused for a moment.

The next moment, crimson vampire characters appeared on the red longsword in her hand.

Om-!

Then the characters and texts engraved on the coffin lit up.

Brian, lying in the coffin, sensed something and suddenly awoke from his deep sleep, opening his eyes!
