Chapter 1150 - 530: Blood Night (I)_2
And that delicate voice sounded again from behind her...
"If the intelligence is not wrong, then you, sister, must be the last scout from the Simon Family."
Two slender arms, wrapped in thin veils, tenderly encircled the Dark Elf female thief. She stiffened and turned around, her eyes wide with terror as she watched the beautiful face before her, trying to break free but discovering she had suddenly lost all her strength.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Sylvia Frostbloom, the deputy head of the Ice Curtain Mage Group and a high-level mage."
She had long aqua hair and her pale skin was bewitchingly highlighted by the moonlight, along with a pair of eyes similar to those of the Dark Elves but a shade closer to fresh blood, radiating a light that irresistibly invited one to be intoxicated.
"You... you..."
The tightly embraced thief did not give up struggling, only to find desperately that no matter what techniques she employed, she could not break free from the soft body of the other.
"By the way, in addition to the identities mentioned, I am also a Blood Seeker."
Sylvia whispered close to the thief’s cheek and then gently traced the chin of the Elf woman in her arms with her index finger, tenderly pulling down her mask. Her lips curled into an extremely seductive smile, "And you, you look delicious~"
Then she leaned in, giving the other a long kiss that lasted two full minutes.
When the kiss ended, the dazed scout from the Simon Family had stopped breathing.
"So, my task is completed."
Sylvia released the corpse in her arms, licking her lips with a look of lingering desire and said in a charming voice, "The rest is up to you."
"Yes."
A man wearing dark silver plate armor and an expressionless face silently emerged from the darkness, searched the female thief’s body for a while, finding three scrolls sealed with beeswax. Disposing of two, he tore open the last one and shot a golden yellow Magic Power spark into the air.
At the same time, two sparks of the same color rose into the sky hundreds of meters away.
...
At the same time
Fifteen miles away, at the Lord’s Allied Forces camp
"The fifth signal!" A mage from the Crystal Wolf Family dispelled the Eagle Eye Technique and announced loudly with the help of amplification magic, "Everything is normal in Mercury City, the scout team has encountered resistance!"
"Hold the formation!"
Dozens of Zijing Guards wearing Mirror Face Masks flew into the air, announcing in their severely distorted voices, "By Emperor’s decree, the entire army will attack in five minutes, targeting Mercury City Hall. No questioning of identities, execute resisters on the spot!"
Without the need for loud responses or thunderous affirmations, as soon as the voices quieted, the Lord’s Allied Forces demonstrated terrifying efficiency. In just one minute, over fifty thousand soldiers had perfectly taken their positions. Various Spell buffs dazzlingly flickered, instantly granting the army several buffs. The warriors tightly formed Battle Arrays around their own lords according to the plan. From above, it looked like a majestic Falcon getting ready to strike, with Dundis as the beak, Hussein as the neck, Violet as the throat, Fire Claw and Fernan as the shoulders, Baroka and Simon as the wings, and the Crystal Wolf as the tail, like a well-oiled machine, emitting a fearsome might.
Though they had not drilled together before, this ’Violet Falcon Array’ seemed naturally perfect the first time it was deployed. This was due to the traditions of the Empire, where, regardless of the era, every lord’s legions had to practice this formation for a long time. Only in this way could this loose and cumbersome Empire have the capital to jointly resist foreign enemies when attacked, rather than being defeated piecemeal like scattered sand.
It was only this matter that every family had never neglected. With years of targeted training, not to mention the current fifty thousand people, give them enough time, and the Lord’s Allied Forces could also deploy this ’Violet Falcon Array’ to its maximum effect at a moment’s notice, even if it was a force of five hundred thousand.
And in history, the Violet Empire had indeed defeated many invaders with this combined battle formation.
"But using it against our own must be a first~"
Leaning against a carriage nearby, Motan, who was in the central area of the battle formation with Double Leaf, watched with an amused smile, "Beak, neck, throat, shoulder, wing, tail... Heh, if I’m not mistaken, the part that the Marshall Family drilled, should be this Falcon’s ’body,’ right?"
"How should I know."
Double Leaf shrugged noncommittally from inside the carriage, stuck her little head out of the window to take a look around, and sighed, "However, it’s surprising that there’s practically no one without combat strength here to gawk; I thought this ’safe zone’ would be bustling."
"It would be weird if it were bustling; if it were anywhere else, there’d be no shortage of nobles or power brokers coming to watch and take sides, but in a despotic state like Violet, the concept of ’spectators’ practically doesn’t exist," Motan scoffed, shaking his head as he climbed onto the carriage, not forgetting to greet the housekeeper Deku at the driver’s seat before he got on, "Speaking of which, is it really okay for you not to be by the duke’s side?"
Deku huffed annoyedly and shook his head, "You’re overthinking it, Mr. Dabus. As a housekeeper, I’m just more experienced. In situations like this, naturally, there will be stronger people to protect the mistress."
"Hmm, that must be tough on you."
Motan nodded absent-mindedly, then sat down next to Double Leaf inside the carriage and started to hum leisurely, "I found a pot of money~ by the side of the road~"
Without saying a word, Double Leaf slapped him and then asked as if nothing had happened, "Why did you change your mind?"
Motan blinked, a fresh red handprint on his face, and asked curiously, "What mind did I change?"
"Weren’t you saying before, if those people could think of some more high-end tactics..."
Double Leaf casually snapped her fingers, setting up a soundproof barrier inside the city, and said leisurely, "You’d consider giving them a hand?"
"Oh, that thing."
Motan stretched lazily and replied offhandedly, "Yes, I changed my mind. Since the Crystal Wolf duke has already agreed to a marriage alliance, the transformation of the Violet Empire is already imminent. Whether I help or not, our Second Prince must make his choice quickly, and speaking of choices, in reality, he only has one path to take, so... I’m actually hoping that His Majesty the Emperor will get through this farce safely; only then will things become truly dramatic, haha, hahaha!"
He slapped his knee, laughing excitedly, his eyes filled with mockery and pleasure, seemingly too happy for his own good.
"Your personality is truly awful."
Double Leaf curled her lip in disgust and snorted, "Whatever, it has nothing to do with me anyway."
Motan looked at her with a mischievous gaze and laughed, "Stop kidding, you and I are cut from the same cloth. Even though you’re just a little bit worse in every aspect, you’re actually quite interested in the unfolding events too, aren’t you?"
"Hehe, yeah..."
The young girl smiled and said with a grin, "After all, I’m not really a good person."
"Hehehe~"
"Giggle~"
Game Time PM19:55, the Lord’s Allied Forces launched an assault on Mercury City, the heart of Marshal Territory, in battle formation.
At the same time, Marshal Territory’s Ice Curtain Mage Group, the Baffy Sword Knight Order, and Mercury Guard also silently deployed their defensive formations at the base of the city.
...
The same time
Violet Empire, the capital, Sālāmù’ēn
Clive Bresen’s eldest son, Crown Prince Rebo Bresen, appeared in front of a tavern by the canal, followed by more than a dozen individuals of varying gender, status, and traits.
Their only commonality was that they were all strong.
Rebo took a deep breath and strode forward, forcefully pushing open the door of "Female Bee."
