Chapter XXV
Time flew like an arrow, and three years had passed in the blink of an eye. In the past three years, under Dracula's high-pressure and bloody rule, Mark Webber had become a living hell. The originally prosperous streets had become desolate, and the originally lush farmland had become barren land. Large cracks appeared on them as if they were venting their grief and indignation.
In a small town on the border of Mark Webb, the Demon Hunters Association's branch in Hargita was nervously preparing for tonight's operation to deal with the vampire Count Dracula.
In the past three years, the Demon Hunters Association had attacked Demon City no less than 300 times, and each time they had failed. The most frustrating thing was that they didn't even have the chance to fight Dracula, because every time they attacked, they were blocked by the protective barrier that Dracula had cast outside Demon City.
No one could break the enchantment that Dracula had set up, not even the Paladins of the Pontiff Court, who were most proficient in sealing spells.
Originally, the Demon Hunters Association also had a Guardian Saintess who was very proficient in sealing and enchantment techniques. However, since she had quietly left the Demon Hunters Association nearly four years ago, she had only sent her messenger owl Momo back once to report.
She said that she was chasing Dracula's men and needed backup, but when the backup team arrived, there was no one at all. From then on, Saint Scarrie also disappeared, and there was no trace of her.
During this period, the Demon Hunters Association sent a lot of people to look for her whereabouts, but she seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Because of the Saint's dereliction of duty, the Demon Hunters Association could only wait passively for Dracula to come out of the Demon City and massacre the Church before they could fight him. And all the frontal attacks on him were useless.
There were more than 800 churches of various sizes in the area that Mark Webber belonged to. Although Dirk would send people to inform the people to leave his territory before he massacred the church, the stubborn clerics would swear to protect their Lord and their teachings, so most people would rather live and die with the church.
Now, more than half of the churches had been destroyed by Dracula. Although the Demon Hunters Association and the Pontiff Court had sent their own experts to protect the churches, they were still unable to stop Dracula's attack. This demon was too powerful. Almost all the gold-medal assassins sent by the Demon Hunters Association were killed.
This time, Dracula's evil hand had reached this border town again. The Harghita Church had just received an expulsion order from Dracula the day before yesterday. He immediately informed the Demon Hunters Association's branch here and sent a letter back to the Supreme Pontiff Court to ask for help.
"Minister Robert, two Holy Knights from the Pontiff Court are outside requesting an audience.”A guard of the Demon Hunters Association pushed open the door of the conference room and reported to the minister of their branch.
"Quick, invite them in."
Recently, the Demon Hunters Association and the Pontiff Court had reached a consensus that they would no longer be independent but would instead share resources and help each other, hoping to gather the strengths of both parties to restrain Dracula. Although their recent joint efforts had not been able to protect the Church from Dirk, it had slowed his pace.
Hello, Mr. Robert." The two handsome young men bowed to him. Luo hurriedly returned the greeting.
"Ah, welcome, welcome. We are waiting for the arrival of the two Holy Knights.”
"The Pope is very concerned about Dracula's ultimatum to the Church of Harghita. This church has a history of nearly a hundred years. It was currently the largest church in the Mark Webber region, and it also had the most clergymen. No matter what, they could not let it be destroyed by the hands of the devil. Thus, His Holiness the Pope sent us here to fight alongside the Demon Hunters Association.”
"I see. May I know how to address the two of you? Oh, if I may ask, what is your position in the Pontiff's Court?”Robert asked politely.
"My name is Andy." Andy then pointed at another young man beside him." He is Samuel. We are the Holy Spear Knights of the Holy Court.”
"Wow, so it's two of the Twelve Paladins. I didn't think that these two young people would already be ranked among the strongest Twelve Paladins of the Supreme Pontiff Court.”Robert couldn't help but respect them.
These twelve knights were like twelve archangels protecting the Pope. Usually, they were one in a thousand Oracles who were born with super spiritual power. Moreover, they had to undergo various training from an early age. Finally, the twelve most outstanding ones were selected from these people and awarded the title of Temple Knight. They could be said to be the elites of the elites. They usually did not come out to carry out missions and usually stayed by the side of the Pope to protect him. They could only be seen in very difficult situations, so they could be said to be quite unfathomable figures.
"The Pope has even sent out the Templar Knights. It can be seen that he places great importance on guarding the Pu An Cathedral. Why don't we plan tonight's operation now?”Robert said anxiously.
Everyone gathered around the conference table. "Our Demon Hunters Association has sent a total of 200 soldiers and 80 Demon Hunters to participate in this operation. This is already the limit of the branch. In addition, we have also prepared a large number of oak arrows and this thing.”Robert placed a large bottle of liquid on the table.
"What is this?" Andy asked curiously.
"This is a poison concocted by the Demon Hunters Association's pharmacists to deal with vampires. It's concocted with wolfbane flowers and vampire blood.”
"Isn't the wolfsbane flower used to suppress werewolves?”Samuel asked in confusion.
"Yes, it was originally used to deal with werewolves, but one time, our Blood Hunter accidentally dropped a knife with vampire blood into the wolfsbane water and quickly picked it up. Later, when he used his knife to deal with a few Vampires, he found that his knife had lightly cut through the bodies of these Vampires. Those Vampires immediately spat out white foam at the mouth and died.”
"This is great. We were worried that we didn't bring enough holy water, but the Supreme Pontiff Court is running out of holy water. This solved our worries.”Andy said happily.
"Yes, our Demon Hunters Association doesn't have much holy water left, so we have to make good use of this Wolfvenom Blood Juice. However, this thing is very useful for vampires, but it's a little lacking for vampires with powerful magic power. Harvey, who we sent to assassinate Dracula last time, also brought it with him. From the information sent back by Skali, we know that although it made Dracula weak and vulnerable, it couldn't kill him. Moreover, we don't know how long the medicinal effect can last on Dracula.”
"As long as we can make him lose his magic power, we can subdue him.”"The two oak spears we brought are not to be trifled with," Samuel said confidently.”
"Alright, then tonight, the Demon Hunters Association will be in charge of the outer perimeter of the church and dealing with Dracula's subordinates. The two of you will be in charge of the safety of the people inside the church and dealing with the vampire Count Dracula.”The two Holy Knights nodded and began to process their spears.
"Luke, did you inform the people near the church to evacuate?”
The Demon Hunters Association member named Luke hurriedly said," There weren't many people near the church. We've already informed every house that everyone has evacuated, except for Dr. Luther, who runs a small clinic next to the church. He said that someone would definitely be injured, and he would stay to help take care of the injured. No matter what, he wouldn't leave.”
"Then let him be. Everyone, get ready. We'll set off as soon as it gets dark. This time, we must teach that vampire a lesson.”
"Yes." The members of the Demon Hunters Association rubbed their fists in high morale.
At night, the square of Demon City was crowded with people. The people responsible for the bloodbath of the church had all gathered. They were selected from the Death God's personal guards. This included the flying soldiers who usually guarded the top of the Demon City, the lightning woman in the underground cemetery, and the witch Gill.
"Master, isn't it too little to bring so many people? If the Demon Hunters Association and Supreme Pontiff Court send experts like the previous few times, wouldn't we be underestimating the enemy?”Wen Jing said worriedly.
"No need. No matter how many people they send, they're all useless.”said Okemore with a disdainful expression.
Georgianib looked at Dirk pitifully and said,""Master, do you still not need to bring me along this time?”
Sigh, I didn't let you follow me for the past three years because I was thinking of you. I hope you can recuperate in peace. Dracula thought to himself, but his expression remained cold. "M-Master, please let me go with you.”Georgianib begged again.
Sigh, there was really nothing she could do about him. Dracula shook his head and walked to Georgianib's side. He put his hands on his shoulders and said,""Georgianib, you're the Great Guardian of Demon City. If we go out, who will guard Demon City? If the enemy attacked, would they let Wen Jing lead the fight? Do you know that you have a huge responsibility now?”
It turns out that Master values me so much. He has never despised me. Georgianib was so happy that he almost jumped up." Yes, Master. Don't worry, I'll definitely protect Demon City."”
This guy is already a few decades old, but he's still as gullible as a child. Who can open my barrier and enter Demon City? Seriously, why did the people in Demon City seem so simple-minded? Without me, you wouldn't even know that you were sold. Dracula turned around helplessly and ordered them to set off.
He spread his huge wings and took the lead to fly. The other flying soldiers followed him with their small white wings. The lightning woman directly rode the storm and lifted herself into the air. Jill also rode on her broom. The group of people set off for Harghita in a mighty manner.
